Hi all Smiley

I've signed up and been mining for a while now but still haven't received the confirmation email so can't add my payment address Sad

The contact form isn't working on any browser either... any ideas?!
I think you are all good now.

Wow!!!!   that is a great marketing approach.  Sounds like a nice size company can pull this off.  How much would something like that cost the community (of phs stone holders)?

Is there any long-term marketing strategy or niche placement in mind for philosopher stones? Even though its obvious, sexcoin has the porn market, lottocoin and casino have gambling, lotteries, etc...what longterm plans are in mind for this currency?

Hi, I am open to suggestions. I think cryptos are still in a sort of infancy, some will be used to fast transactions, some for savings, others for gaming sites, like you mentioned and more. There has been some good suggestions in this thread but thus far vague long term direction, please post your thoughts.



I think since philosopher stones don't have any real direction at the moment, we should consider specific niche markets that would not only find the currency appealing for both superficial and primary qualities, but useful. The obvious trait of the currency that will appeal to people is its %50 annual return--for investors and speculators this is a tasty proposition--but who else would greatly benefit from this feature in short-term, but keep the currency moving and promote volume in the exchanges? A few ideas:

-pre or post startup businesses
-small business owners
-independant researchers
-small law firms
-private schools and private universities
-small medical practices

It wouldn't be difficult to compile a small, professional set of brochures and introduction manuals that 1) explain bitcoin and cryptocurrencies 2) convey a serious and professional image for Philsopher Stones to its audience and 3) convince its audience that in the uncertain age we live in, with the collapse of Fiat and the rise of digital currencies, making Philosopher Stones a part of your porfolio or investment strategy is not only sound, but you would be unwise not to do so.

In conjunction with this straight-forward approach, we should consider more unorthodox, guerrilla-style techniques for targeted advertising and exposure.

-Create a newsletter that you send to the above mentioned groups.
-create ads that can be placed for free in small communitity publications such as residential listings, classifieds, public library boards --> target specific communites that are more likely to have investors
-recruit college students to put up fliers, tear-aways, place brochures in classrooms
-send direct, personal form letters to doctors, lawyers, congressmen, senators, and any key personel that are easily looked up
-aggressive social media campaign - twitter, facebook, reddit, etc.
-professional, yet simple website or blog with regular updates regarding PHS and persistant newsfeed regarding crypto
-go further-->ensure that PHS website has charts and streaming market data --> give people a reason not only to come to the PHS site, but give them a reason to stay


The idea here should not only be to promote image and generate chatter/traffic, but also to begin building faith in the currency. Ultimately that faith is what will sustain any currency in the long run.

Hello Team,

I would like to introduce myself and hopefully become a contributing member of the Philosopher Stone community. 

I'm starting to perform some research on several Forums and will be compiling a list of Promoter's who can help to promote this coin (stone) when the time is appropriate.

I'm a Certified Test Engineer and work for one of the largest Industrial Companies in the world, so I understand the development process and how long it takes to get bugs fixed and to deploy the code for further testing. 

If you need testing performed, let me know and I'll be glad to do this.  Also, let me know when the time has come to start promoting.  I will then reach out to promoters.

Welcome aboard BDC!!! If you have the talent for coding I know that the language translations need to be patched.. not sure the auto translate went through correctly and so wallets in foreign languages seem to be only partially translated... some slip in the code most likely...  PM me if you are interested in deeper discuss... -digeros

I have been mining on my laptop for about 4 days now, but have only generated about .2 stones.  Undecided  Does anyone know of any philosopher stone giveaways or faucets? I would like to experiment with the proof of stake feature before I invest any fiat into stones.

Also, I have an extensive twitter and facebook following, as well as a blog. I would like to help the community and assist in promoting philosopher stones. If there is help needed with networking, or if you need an article written, PM me. Will work for stones  Grin

Try testnet out > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annphs50-pos-philosopherstone-nopremine-10-month-dist-1641-292720

You must solo mine up a bunch of blocks into confirmed status first (cpu is fine or gpu, or someone can send you some maybe?), and can then generate stake and get a better feel for the PoS process.  It's 100s of times faster so you can run your tests to see results in hours not years. We could use some more permanent nodes for testnet =p

Sure, anyway you can help out is great!

Yes - 8 connections.
Transaction info:

Status: 0/unconfirmed
Date: 1/16/2014 20:42
Debit: 0.00 PHS
Net amount: -50.00 PHS
Transaction ID: 1c952423f5d148a9bad9de671434a9df925820651c419c3ec6d384c02a2d273a

Generated stones must mature 50 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to "not accepted" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.


As a follow on question. Can you generate/mint PoS coins on a server running the headless -daemon?

yes it's orphan, unlike PoW this will attempt to regenerate for a larger amount (since more time has passed).

8 connections sounds like an older client, what version are you using?

and, yes, stoneD is the same just no GUI, you can still send commands to it like getinfo

Some noob questions about the wallet..


Do I have to update or install the new wallet?
Or can I just stick with the older version?

+ How do I update without losing the coins in my old wallet?

When I update, I just get the new file. I delete the old one and then load the new one. It updates it and keeps the wallet.dat file so that you don't lose anything. I always backup the wallet.dat beforehand though, just in case. I'm not sure if you can keep the old one though.

Notes on Backing UP:  the coins in your wallet are attached to the wallet addresses which are created by the QT software... So it is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO Backup your wallet WHENEVER you CREATE NEW ADDRESSES in the Wallet, as coins are literally attached to / "owned" by these wallet addresses.   What this means is... if you haven't creates any new addresses since the last wallet backup all coins credited to those wallet addresses will appear as the blockchain downloads. -digeros.

Probably a newb question...
I deposited 50 stones in my wallet on 13 Dec. I started it up on 16 Jan and got a notice of +2.346 stake. I shut down the comp but have not started up the client since then. I started up the client today and I don't see any stake coins, but the transaction is still there. I look at the transaction and there are 0 confirms. It has been sitting running for 3 hours and still no confirms. My wallet is not locked and I am not running a config file.

Yep use standard procedure with every crypto. Backup wallet at least and even wallet directory if you want, before any update and backup on occasion in addition to this as well. There's a good deal of threads about bitcoin wallets around that have some really good suggestions too.
