Sounds good.. i think everyone wants a solid, tested coin on release.
Lookin forward to it.

I got very tied up tonight, so I couldn't get FoznieCoin to the point of being able to test on stratum. It was a very busy day for me today. I also spent a while tracking down this mining problem observed by TimC when he was solo mining because it came up for me on the test net. I think it comes from minerd. It makes a coinbase transaction with a particular timestamp, but doesn't update the timestamp everytime it submits a new block. Here's his bug: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10709735
I was worried that this bug was in the wallet itself, but it appears to be in minerd.
I'll try to test tomorrow and push the tentative launch to Mar 18 UTC 5:30 AM.

I've got the new wallet built. I put a little surprise in there to entice everyone to join in.
We will test the network tomorrow. If network testing is done in early enough, we'll try to test stratum at suprnova if I can connect with OC.
If that looks good, then I'll set a launch time.
Putting in the surprise took and extra couple of days, so it set launch back. It will be worth the wait.

sweet. im a-waiting.
I had to adapt a little code to get it to build on mac which took most of my time today. I will probably be ready to test stratum in 20-24 hours. We tested the network tonight and it's good. I believe I'm looking at about 46 hours or so from the time of this post to launch. I'll most likely have a launch time to advertise in about 22 hours, which would be for the following day.
So tentatively Mar 17 UTC 5:30, which is about as early as I can do it. I don't want to leave out Europe. If I do it late at night for Europe, I'll leave out much of Asia.

Just send me a PM and we can start testing

dead launch... dead coin? Dev gone?
No no no! I've been working on the re-launch. This is going to live and it will be fair. And I'm taking OC miner up on his offer to help me test the stratum mining. I've put FonzieCoin on top of a coin that had a full PoW run without any problems. I haven't changed anything about the PoW except the hard-coded block rewards.
It will be tested and it will work and it will be fair.
sweet! do you have any kind of estimated ETA? I noticed the block count went up and the diff has changed. Is something working?
Hey thanks for your offer to help test. I'll get back to you about when the testing will be. Probably 20-24 hours from the time of this post, assuming I can get a hold of OC miner.
If testing goes well, then I'd try to re-launch within 48 hours, or 72 tops. I'll try to move the launch time earlier by a couple of hours to help assuage the tender feelings of our east coast friends.
Also, I have no idea how blocks are moving. I took down the repo so do they count? I'll make a new genesis with new packet leaders, and even a new P2P port if necessary. The other chain stopped and no one could mine. I'll ignore that chain. It was pretty clear that one died. I'll make sure that there is no crosstalk between the two chains. If anyone is mining that chain and wants to keep it alive, they'll have to maintain it. I won't. If that chain had kept moving, I would have done my best to get the stratum mining going.
Edit to the previous paragraph: it looks like the previous chain is still stuck at block 26, where it stopped 3 days ago. That chain is dead.
Note to other pools: suprnova will have a compiled executable ready on launch. All else will need to download and compile when the new repo is posted at launch.

Hey FonziCoin... let me know if you need someone to test it out on Nova's pools. I'll throw one of my S1's on it.

I never really cared that much for that area, so I don't feel too bad about making you guys stay up.

This coin is a complete waste of time... WTF are you all doing here!
Note to the dev:
If you have the skills and ability to develop a coin Why not focus your efforts on developing a legitimate coin with practical purpose and features. Instead of a BS novelty coin that will hold no real value or purpose. This community needs developers working on Legitimate solutions and features and not wasting time and resources on stuff like this.
With that said. " To each his own" and My intent is not to bash or talk trash to any of you. Just voicing alittle frustration. As a Miner / Investor I was looking for a New SHA-256 Coin to mine and buy & all i can find is crap(imo) like this!

Sorry for the late launch times. Development comes out of my sleep. 4 hours of dev time = 4 hours of sleep. It's a simple equation. That's why I launch late. That's when I have a chance to do it. Alts is a profession for no one except ICO scammers and pump and dumpers and maybe pool operators. It's not a profession for me, just a hobby.
Sorry if you are on the east cost. I never really cared that much for that area, so I don't feel too bad about making you guys stay up. Move somewhere that I like better. Europeans and Asians love my launch times.

dev whats going to happen? are you stlll working on it or is it delayed until further notice..?
Yeah, I'll work it out. I don't have a testing infrastructure for stratum. If I didn't make an announcement and clearly invite people to mine, many would scream scam. No alt that doesn't get money up front and invites everyone to join without ninja and instamines or premines is going to work out of the box. If the chain is dead, I'll kill it and start a new genesis.
Be warned, like I warned in the OP: this coin doesn't have much going for it besides a Fonzie theme and the whole fairness thing.
It boggles me that "miners" can read that and still be surprised when there are problems.
If someone wants to volunteer some time and resources to help work out mining bugs, PM me. They will need to be around during launch.
Launch Delayed Until Further Notice.
I ll be glad to help, let me know what i can Do
Wow, thank you. I'm going to use a different codebase from a coin that recently had a full SHA256 run successfully. If there were some way where you compile the wallet for the pool and put it up for me to try to mine, then that would be best.
You've been very patient with this and I appreciate that very much.
Sure, just let me know when you're ready with testing for the code and we'll set up a test-pool and get everything right for the next launch. Drop me a message then.
