Some asked me to come take a look at Thorcoin. It seems to be a decent coins at heart but made the same mistake of setting a faster blocktime on Peercoin's PoS without making the other required changes to handle this without getting stuck.
To start with let's get this ticking. I will create a working testnet as this coin does not have one yet, then I can testnet any changes to this coin. Just to get it ticking again we need to hard fork, safest thing to do is move to vanilla Peercoin blocktime. Further work to speed things up again can be done safely at a later point. Right now this coin is on the Sci-Fi Crypto Exchange but if blocks do not even move then it is not going to be able to stay on there without some immediate work.
My plan is to set a hardfork just before the stuck block with vanilla Peercoin blocktime. Transactions in the last block will be lost and coins will be where they were before that block. I think it is a small sacrifice to get this chain back on its feet. If anyone wants to donate towards development of this coin then please let me know as it would be helpful.
EDIT: Seems that Thorcoin was made from Novacoin but they did not fork on GitHub and apply changes, just worked on it offline and uploaded the whole thing to GitHub. It would be sensible to fine out at what point it took the NVC source, then fork Novacoin at that point, apply the changes for Thorcoin. This give us the Novacoin upstream repo to pull changes from and a better history for Thorcoin development. More work though!

Any news for today?
Cannot see any trade. The problem seems to be with the blockchain, but it can still remain dormant and be revived at any time.

Coin is not dead. But I'd love to see more activity from the developer.
Maybe the dev is too busy with some other things. Who knows dev is preparing for something big.

Count me in for donation. If Mindfox or anybody else revives Thor I will send 10 000 000 Thorcoin as a token of gratitude.

I can't find anything useful from the debug logs besides generic errors.
I'll have to run it through a debugger.
Please allow me to do so during the weekend due to lack of time.
In the mean time, I'll leave my Thor address here in case you want to support my work:

I will send over a few 100k THOR once the blockchain gets going again.
I will send too some Thors

Nowhere but up from here! .00000001 Just remember in the future, you where here when it was easy!
what do you mean ? didnt understand
He thinks THOR will touch the Market cap of LTC
who knows, lets think of the FIX first
i know it wont, let be realistic. Fix is important without that coin is dead.
Now im really confused, what is the problem ? as i knwo the block stuck! but see bellow the difficulty
{
"blocks" : 85745,
"currentblocksize" : 245596,
"currentblocktx" : 37,
"difficulty" : 0.00345950,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"networkhashps" : 274605,
"pooledtx" : 52,
"testnet" : false,
"Nfactor" : 11,
"N" : 4096
}
Block is stuck so no one can mine,you cant do nothing with this coin ATM.
And the question now is: why it gets stuck ?
Mindfox can answer that, i think he is still finding out. lets hope for that best.
