The maturity time for coins that stay "staked" before they be can spent is a security issue, if you have it too low it makes it easier for an attack on the network. You see this with every coin BTC included. There is a waiting period from new coins are generated to when they can be spent.
I will have to double check but for potcoin I think its about 2 hours from when you stake to when those coins are available to be spent. We had this discussion months ago from a merchants POV, people were arguing against POS for merchants because they wouldn't be able to spend those funds for a small amount of time. Those people either have issues with common sense or they have never worked with cash at a business, IE, being the one who deals with funds incoming from customers as well as being the one who makes the bank deposits.

I was thinking...we could lower the amount of time coins stay "staked" I forget how many blocks it is for POT but it is quite a few hours. Maybe we lower it? Unfortunately this type of change would require a hard fork.

I am not intimately familiar with the inner workings of posv so this is just an idea from someone who should probably stay quite.  

The only reason I had an issue was because my comp crashed while a bunch of wallets were running and I ended up having to resync a bunch of coins from scratch.

I took a few months off from cryptoland, I'm happy to see POT still on polo. my wallet will be synced in about another 12 hrs or so 

What OS are you using? I also run a wallet in the "cloud" and have had zero issues related to the network, the only issue I have had is with windows 10 randomly changing the time on me and that fucks with all coins wallets not just potcoin. I also run a wallet on a local POS server that has had ZERO issues staying connected to the network. Are you sure the issue isn't with whatever host your using?

True there are some issues with potcoins wallet that need addresses and I have had zero luck getting through to the devs about it, they flat out refuse to address some of these issues. However here is the kicker, potcoin just like every other coin is opensourced and needs the community to help it become what it can. We already had cartmanspc mod and release a wallet with a lower threshold so that we could get the network up to speed, next step is to find someone willing to do some real work on the wallet. Reddcoin, the coin potcoin is forked from and based on is working on moving the codebase over from ltc to the latest bitcoin wallet, when this wallet moves out of alpha/beta and is ready for primetime someone could put in the work to move potcoin over to it and things would be a bit better.

What does that last paragpraph mean? It means to please shut the F up about what is wrong and do something to fix it. I am doing my part by providing some market making as well as slowly buying up all the coin I can and taking them off the exchanges, I am also rebuilding a wallet to keep the network flowing at its intended speed despite the massive wallets that keep going offline for days at a time to build up some stake weight.

thanks for the list got a connection right away

none the less
having a top level node list is a must
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pot/#!crypto
the above service gives you that and cheap
under $1 from 5 persons per month

don't have that $50 gets a solid service for 1 year but lessens the prestige of POT

keep it funded, stay alive!

I am running my wallet in the cloud, used to work perfect but something changed with the network.
Doesnt sync with these anymore, doesnt sync from scratch ether.
I think its because the network is so weak.
 
But hey.. the posv parameters are ferked up anyway.

so its not a big loss.

A well performing Client and good Parameters are basic.
Your Bread n Butter for a Crypto Currency these days.

this here is just shit again and no phuc was given.

regards

Not sure where your getting no nodes anymore. Cryptoid shows 69 connections.
Add the following to your potcoin.conf if your having issues. You might also make sure that the firewalls on your pc and router are letting the wallet through in both directions.

I had problems with wallet time ago then i become interested in POT two years ago (shitty communication then, so is support) and now (i solved problem ), my wallet now on linux ubuntu staking just perfect! 420 POT(https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pot/#!extraction) stake grow i think basically its me #PotBot

About shitty communication its not just POT, lots of devs failing. In my case i was interested to stake AudioCoin (ADC), i failed install it on my linux dsktp wallet, so contacted on prv msg official com person of ADC Twtr and in the end get nothing! There will be no moon if devs will work just for own profit ... not everybody is hackers (strategy for dummies required) ...

WINDOWS

This is just pathetic.

No nodes anymore ? Network is just weak af and the POSV Parameters are still that lousy ?

Hurry up and get your shit together or they will 420 pump Hempcoin instead

crowd fund time

Not a problem.

For those that are willing to help give potcoin a bit of a push. Please consider creating a few new addresses and sending a few coins to each one, if 100 people do 5 extra addresses that adds 500 new inputs to the system and will drive the difficulty and the effective stake rate up for those that are actively supporting the network. I am slowly rebuilding a wallet to push the network along and keep the blocktimes and blocks/day at par, I am aiming for a total of 600+ addresses/inputs.

Thank you for clearing that up rdyoung.
Can we just get one pot shop to accept pot coin? Don't think it would  be very difficult to implement. 
I believe this should start the fire.

Please help keep the potcoin faucet dripping more coins per week by donating to the faucet staking wallet PC4iQujKv57mNNY8idxFH4RdsiR9u33Jsn

Not weird...
I have covered this previously but will attempt a shortened version now.
With POSv the stake rate is based on the # of confirmations/blocks since an input was created. An input is the individual chunk of coin when you receive funds.
Based on testing by myself and redrhino it appears that POSv2 has a sweetspot somewhere between 2weeks and a month for the optimal stakerate per time invested.
The difficulty is a product of the # and size of inputs actively staking. We now have enough inputs (thanks to cartmanspc) that we are hitting the right amount of blocks/day but ideally we need enough inputs and a high enough difficulty that you can expect to stake once every couple of weeks, only then will the stake rate be what it should be.

Why don't we have enough inputs?
When the dev ported in POSv from reddcoin he left the split threshold at 2million coins.
Why does this matter?
Any wallets staking less than 2mill will be combined into 1 large input.
To help fix this, cartmanspc compiled and released a qt with the threshold changed to 5k. If you use that wallet your 20k will split into approximately 4 inputs. If you also take your wallet offline for 2+ weeks at a time you will see a much larger stake %.

I am considering rebuilding my "network push" wallet to attempt to get us enough inputs and diff that people aren't staking every 8 hours and instead are staking every week or 2.
We could also do ourselves some good by getting more people to actively stake POT, that would bring the difficulty up. All we really need is a 100 or so new wallets/addresses staking any amount of coin, the more the merrier of course to get us up and running. The way POSv2 is designed it creates a bit of a positive feedback loop, the more inputs, the higher the difficulty, the higher the stake rate and therefore more people might be willing to stake.

ya, staking every 4 or 5 days pays 15'ish POT per day per 100k.

Never seemed to properly stake. I was getting .5 coins per day at best with a total 20000 coins. Wasn't worth the cpu usage. But if I shut down for a few days and load the wallet I would get around 10 coins. Weird.

If the seed nodes are down new wallets without any prior nodes in the peer DB will not sync. They will need to modify their potcoin.conf file with the nodes list from cryptoid. I think most people know how to do that but total newbies will be stuck. For people who have been using potcoin for a while they should have a sufficient number of nodes in their peers DB for this not to be a problem. Likely why you don't see many people complaining.

Sooooo... It's not even possible to boot the wallet easily anymore? I didn't think Potcoin would die so sadly. With a PoW change and a mildly failed fork... Sorry POT I'm all out for now.

Did some quick digging in the source...looks like the seed nodes are down...hence the syncing problems with new wallets or ones that don't have a sufficiently large enough peers DB.

List of seeds:
dnsseedz.potcoin.info             Host not found
dns1.potcoin.info                   Host found (37.139.26.213). No response to ping.

I suppose the second one could be up...didn't try...but maybe someone can check?

Until the seeds come back (don't hold your breath) my best recommendation is to go to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pot/#!network and copy the nodes list...then hope some are open.
