      Phenixcoin has got into another difficulty trap with a long way to go until the next retarget at current 40MH/s or so. Please put some hash power in, they need it.

          AFAIR, there is none.

            So how do we know when the retarget is?

                By using their block explorer. They retarget every 600 blocks.

                This one displays incorrect next difficulty and not accurate at all.

                  All for helping the partner coins but they need to help themselves too. Fix the retarget time/percentage as we did and put up a stats page. Then we won’t be here again in another week!

                  All that’s happening at the moment is that I keep mining the least profitable coin (or rather most difficult) to bail the alts out.

                  Usually I stick with ftc and even that can be hard to swallow at times as the diff drops for 8 hours it works well but then all and sundry mine it, the diff rockets and I end up mining it at high diff/low reward again. I almost feel the 40% is still too big a swing and still gives way to diff bounce. With the partner coins getting stuck too I’d mine even less rewarding coins. Donations to the leccy bill accepted. ;)

                      We’ll get everyone on the same page soon. As for our difficulty re-adjust… I would like to see:

                      • No more than a ~20% adjust
                      • Less than 504 blocks
                      • More dynamic adjust (similar to PPC)
                      • If difficulty gets hung up too high, some measure to have it self correct

                        PPC retargets continuously, I mean every block. Block target is the same to Bitcoin, although there is a 1 week long averaging window with a daily difficulty limiter set at 2.0. Need we implement continuous retargetting? That’s a good question.

                          So, back on topic, if anyone wants to lend a few hashes to help our partner coins out, you can do so here on my pools - [url=http://www.nut2pools.com]Nut2Pools.com[/url] or on d2’s pools here - [url=http://d2.cc]d2.cc[/url]. There are obviously other pools too but i’ll let you find them. ;)

                          I’m mining them with a rig now…

                            Do we have an accurate retarget display url yet for pxc?

                              They just released a new client which doubles the block time without halving the block reward, thereby doubling the rate of inflation.

                              I expect value will reach half what it once was in accordance with this change. Sucks to be a PXC holder right about now…

                                This is an interesting development with odd timing, to say the least.

                                  Indeed, and the price reflects it. It’s presently headed towards it’s monthly low price, which is hasn’t seen since the start of July.

                                    almost 100% of pxc is on one pool. pxc.d2.cc which means 12mh. I like the pool but need some more.

                                      fing seriously? Is this block generation increase temporary to get the retarget down? I deal in one hyper inflationary coin, ifc, already. It’s honest about it.

                                          I’ll say the same thing I had to say about Feathercoin in all the non-glory days… “I’m not concerned with the price right now”. I have no comment concerning the changes, I’m just putting my money where my mouth is.

                                          Speaking of which, buying a crapload of Feathercoin before the conference was a good investment. :)

                                            Yep, my bot made about 1.8 BTC today on the arbitrage as the price kept moving up. Good times.
