Here is a version of the Potcoin Windows wallet that reduces the max split from 2 million to 5 thousand:

potcoin-08.7.2-win32-5Kv2.zip

This version will cause you to stake more often if you have over 5K POT. It stakes more often because it divides up each stake into a max of 5 thousand coins instead of 2 million. This will not increase your staking reward. It should average to be about the same as the official wallet.

This version also implements a fix for allowing outputs to merge even if they're from the same transaction as the staked output. It does not include support for uPNP. I may compile in support for uPNP at a future date if time permits.

Very nice...

Any chance you can compile one with the split set to 1k? I want to try something. I am going to see if I can goose the network every few days and get back some of the blocks we have been short

I'm scared..

There is no need to be, he is simply in CYA mode. You will notice these kind of disclaimers all over free and opensource software. Usually its "I am not responsible if this software burns down your house and kills your dog". I have been using his first mod with no ill effects.

I'm also a delivery driver, so I get to bring up BTC to quite a few people a day/week. lol no one has asked if they could pay in btc yet tho... one day it'll happen Wink

Get a badge with a qr code on it

that will get peoples interest.

thats a good Idea, would be cheap to get a laminated badge made and I could have more than 1, 1 for BTC 1 for MINT 1 for POT (once mobile app is ready) etc... I've been wanting to get some "I accept BTC" shirts to wear and stickers for the car as well. I've obviously tried to get my boss on board but he just said I can accept whatever I want as long as he gets it in cash. I had my hopes up this summer for a tourist to be the first to ask... but it never happened

just try'n to do my part for BTC and crypto's lol "it's not what your money can do for you... It's what you can do for your money"

Anything we can do. A few "I take X" qr stickers/magnets on your car might catch some attention.

Fair enough.

I hope one day we can see that trees are free in the world. It doesn't do any harm. Relax your minds.

on a peer to peer level feel free to talk to your local dd's about accepting it, I know I would accept it if I can afford to but have had no luck convincing most of my friends to even buy BTC let alone any alts... even tho POT has been around for over a year now it's deff still in it's infancy, I mention it anytime I'm in one of my local potshops and once the android is ready it will be a lot easier to explain it and show them how it works etc.

Some advice from someone who once did sales.
Keep bringing up crypto in general with friends/family in the most general sense you can. With the shops, bring it up once or twice and then drop it. The more you badger someone about something the more it puts them off, if you can get others in the area to bring it up with them as well it will make more of an impact than you asking everytime your in there.
It also looks like the network is finally getting up to speed and the stake rate should climb to its advertised amount, you can use this as a selling point, people are more likely to investigate and buy in to something if they are going to get a return on their investment. Make sure to bring the staking up in conversations, let people know that they can earn upwards of 6%/year by holding the coin and supporting the network.

lol yup I'm not in them too often, I'm sure to bring it up if it's some one I don't recognise and now theres like 4 shops in town not including the grow shops/suppliers. but I have no reason to go in those anymore Sad

and for sure the 5+% interest/return is a big selling point for reg people who wouldn't have a clue about mining etc

There is a LOT of history and economics that go into keeping substances like marijuana illegal. This is changing, but if you understand why its illegal you understand why its taking so long to get those laws and peoples minds changed.

I think I should add that legality at this point probably has very little to do with the success or failure of Potcoin. Bitcoin has and continues to be available to anybody who wants to accept crypto. But Bitcoin has left the door open for competitors and I think in the future we will have a situation where multiple blockchains are in use every day by many people for a variety of purposes. They may even have vastly differently properties between them so they can each serve their own purpose. Potcoin is attempting to carve out a niche for a specific market. But it depends entirely on the success of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin fails, then probably so does Potcoin.

All of this is true. We don't however know the mindset of those that deal or grow the legal marijuana in jurisdictions where it has been legalized or decriminalized.
Remember the stain that silk road put on BTC? It doesn't matter that 10000x more USD has and will be used for drugs/guns/etc than BTC ever will, people are easily swayed and influenced by bad press more so than good press. I would advise that anyone who wants POTcoin to succeed do their best to keep discussions about POTcoin limited to whats legal and what WON'T risk bad press or someone going to jail.

I disagree on any of the so called altcoins being tied to BTC for their survival, it appears that way now but its very likely that it will be an altcoin that succeeds BTC if it can't innovate enough and get the user friendly aspect nailed down. I also believe that POS in some form is the future of crypto.

My point is that there is enough legal weed to focus on without risking being seen as a coin for any and all drugs. We are at a crucial point and we need to worry about image more than anything else. We now have a working POSv network, now its time to work on being branded "the weed coin" rather than "the weed coin and also special k and maybe heroine".

Thats probably not a good topic for discussion here. Potcoin is aiming for the legal weed markets around the world, not the illegal stuff.
I won't tell you to check out the darknet markets on reddit

If I can't even buy good trees with this coin then what's the point? Wink

Fuck laws and lawmakers!

While I agree that what someone chooses to put into their body while in the privacy of their own home should NOT be the business of lawmakers, sadly we do not live in that world.
The movement to legalize and decriminalize weed is growing worldwide and it won't be too long before weed is seen the same as alcohol and tobacco. For now though, it only hurts pot and other crypto coins for it to be associated with anything illegal or nefarious, this is why the focus is on legal and medicinal weed in the parts of the world where the laws have changed.

In short, we need to avoid the discussions here that pertain to where to buy weed or other drugs for people that live in jurisdictions where its not legal or at least decriminalized for personal or medicinal use. We should also avoid the discussion of where to obtain other "drugs" altogether, its more than likely whatever drug someone is trying to obtain is a controlled substance where they live or they could get it on the street corner or at the local pharmacy.

so is the generated POT per/day accurate here? curious.. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pot/#!overview

It doesn't seem to be. I have a sheet tracking the generated coins in near real time and it shows us averaging more coins per day than that says.

how many

My sheet says we should be averaging 28.9k/day and we are getting 15.9k currently. I am certain that the "shortage" of generated coins is tied to the same issue with our personal stake rates, IE, the # of blocks/day and the # of blocks between stakes for each chunk of coins.
