Cool coin.

Happy new year, the year of SXC!

It was good to see a little support for SXC being listed against BTC on the Cryptsy thread.

Don't be too shy to go and and show your support with a quick post : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annexchange-latest-cryptsy-additions-news-and-announcements-246679
Feel free to also post your support for SXC to be added to BTER  : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=280806.280

Check your client's block height and the current blocks on http://blockexplorer.lavajumper.com
If your block height is current, your are experiencing the infamous 'desync' problem, where the client misreports its sync status.

The fix for this will be in the upcoming release.

follow this thread - might be something for SXC to participate in..
I specifically like the idea of cross-trading coins between wallets..!

Lately can't sync my wallet.. any working nodes maybe?

Don't know if this has been done already but in browsing the alt currency vendors page I see that there isn't much of an SXC presence in the accepted section.  Might be an idea to canvas those vendors and see if they are interested in SXC.  There are even a few Adult sites there.  Might be easy pickings to pick up a few more sites accepting SXC.  Just a thought.

If it's already been done then disregard.

Well Wedge theres :

Now I figure if its FUD, pushing on to exchanges certainly won't hurt us..

If it's not FUD, getting onto exchanges before the rush is imperative.

This is what was sent out, not the best, but better than most requests:

http://www.sexcoinforum.org/index.php?topic=320.msg1192#msg1192

But just a polite request extolling the virtues of the coin probably won't have much of an effect..

So what else can we do to make it happen ?

Sounds like FUD.  Unless they directly deal in USD, it can't be used for fraud.  At least, can't directly be used for fraud.

Bad luck can affect pools just like it can affect solo mining.  Back in the summer I was mining litecoin on a pool, the estimate was that the pool should have been finding ~2 blocks per day.  That pool hit a VERY bad run, it went 6 days without finding a block, pool hashrate and difficulty stayed roughly consistent the whole time.  And then when it finally got a block, it got orphaned... ouch. talk about a kick in the teeth.  Then 2 more days to the next block, then it resumed a neutral luck pattern again.  I actually switched pools after the second day of nothing, but I kept watching it.


It re-enforces what I always say: It doesn't matter what method of mining you choose.  If you average out your mining over a long enough period of time, the total amount you earn will be about the same.  The only thing that changes is the payout, either small amounts throughout the period, or a large lump sum at the end.  
How long is long enough for it to average out?  Well... that could be a long time depending on your hashrate vs the total network hashrate.  It's not necessarily the time to your first solo block, it takes more time than that to average out.
The rule of thumb that I've heard stated, and I tend to agree with, is that if you can solo mine at least 1 block per day, then it makes sense to go solo.  Less than 1 block per day, then you're better off on a pool.  I can't think of any scenario that would necessitate someone needing more than 1 payout per day.

Yeap.. Merchants my exchange SXC for BTC, Instead of taking BTC, but add LTC as another step, and they won't want to take you on..

And as I said you lose heaps of exposure without a BTC trade pair...

I suspect the thing is Bitjohn compared us to "weedcoin" and "Vaginacoin" and suggested we change the name back on the 5th July,2013. To do so would have ruined our branding, so we didn't comply.

He expected that the coin would die without his personal approval, but it didn't.. On the 2nd Septemper,2013 we were listed on PhenixEX, and on the 5th September ,2013 CoinEX.. and we were gaining momentuem...

On the 22nd September,2013, he was underfire in the community for listing crap coins, and there was controversy over cryptsy delisting crap coins.. I sent him a PM, not asking for a listing, but pointing out that while It was understandable that he not list every merchant that accepted SXC on his little stickied thread, listing merchants but omitting SXC from the currencies they accepted seem biased... suddenly he listed us against LTC..

He presented it as a "trial run" ... and that he wondered if he was being a bit of a "prude"..

I think it's time SXC's trial run was over, his dismissive and recalcitrant attitude is hurting the coin.. though I might be taking this a bit "personally"..

     

Thanks LittleDigger for the nice update Good Work  

Not sure if you already know it - but I am currently looking at Cryptsy and SXC/LTC is now listed..
..or has it been all the time w/o me noticing..?

..ahh just re-read your post - you were elaborating over SXC/BTC - I see..

1.Roughly 288,000 coins are being generated each day. It should be 144,000 but the algorithms aren't right.. In fact unless the developers of any newer alt completely rewrite that bit of code you'll see misreported hashrate and the generation won't be quite right in any coin.. lava and RPG are working on it. However all those extra coins are flooding the market and the price is taking a beating. There also have been connection problems with the present client, and we have been promising the release of the new client for so long, there is a feeling in some quarters that we are incapable of doing so. The truth is that Lava has coded in fixes to problems deemed impossible to completely rectify which passed testing, but it's taken a lot of time.

2. To buy SXC first you have to buy BTC, Then you have to swap it to LTC, then you can buy SXC. Generally Cryptsy will take any crap coin, and list it against BTC. There is then the thought that if Cryptsy won't list it against BTC, it must really be crap. I spoke in the cryptsy thread to Bitjohn and requested that it be listed against BTC, but he said they were busy, but they would consider it. Investors also approached him in Las Vegas earlier. Since then they haven't been too busy to add several more coins.

I haven't bothered to chase it up, because Bitjohn has had a long history of being biased against SXC, and I have a long history of having a volatile temper, and involving myself further would be counterproductive.

3, We overtook development of the coin, which means we weren't in on any premine or instamine, which means we don't have the funds to pay brib,.. I mean bounties . We also didn't announce the release to anybody involved in an exchange then to the general public some weeks after it had been mined.

4. I note in a thread that on the 7th of December, the attorney general of Florida was allegedly advised of cryptsy's operations and showed great concern about the potential for fraud, and will be investigating their operations. While this may just be FUD spread by a competitor of cryptsy to tarnish their reputation, if true then any coin dependant on cryptsy is in for a rough time.

I have approached the following exchanges

https://bter.com/
https://vircurex.com/
https://btcltc.com/
https://www.crypto-trade.com/  
http://cryptonit.net/  
https://btc-e.com/  
https://coinedup.com/
 
And lava was told by https://www.coins-e.com/ that they would add the coin but no action has been taken. Perhaps they are waiting for the client release. We are listed on CoinEX.PW, but they don't broadcast information to sites like coinchoose, and so are obscure.

If you want to see an increase in price, and protect your investment, I would suggest you assist in lobbying exchanges to add SXC in a BTC trade pair. Generally coins pay brib.. bounties to anybody who spams exchanges on their behalf, but I personal think such behaviour is infantile, and a waste of resources best used for real promotion and development.

It is a pity that the exchanges don't seem to list coins on merit, but rather by popular request.

EDIT: some sites like Coinwarz require a BTC trade pair for stats, so SXC has not been listed since CoinEX's api's stopped working, reducing SXC's exposure.

I firmly believe it will eventually hit the market big time..
BTW - hitting the market - I've always used http://coinmarketcap.com to follow the status but today I learned that there is another list http://cryptmarketcap.com
On that list SXC is not even listed..? Strange I think..

Anybody know how many sexCoins are being mined per day right now? 

Cause with such a marketable name and lots of services I can't figure out why this coins is so cheap.  I bought 1.25 Bitcoin's worth as a speculative play and I'm surprised so many other coins with nothing special are up so much while this coin drifts down.

Can anybody add any input?  I'm new to this coin so I don't know much about it.  Thanks.

@lavajumper and @vaelrock:

ty for the explanation - gives a nice overview of the process, which filled in the missing knowledge to me.
yes I agree - pool mining is the way..
there are only a very few currencies which I still solo a bit - but will eventually pool mine those as well..
