that's a fair call - if there are fundamental problems with the current chain (and previous chains) then i'd agree to cut our losses developing them any further. it sounds like you have a handle on how to keep disruption to a minimum and hopefully the exchanges will all switch seamlessly to the new model so most people who hold their online won't even know. So if the direction really is to switch up - it is vital that we choose a stable and proven codebase that can evolve and adapt to the most advantageous cutting edge advancements in anonymity, security, transaction speed and ease of use. The coins I'm aware of that are currently interesting for these reasons are:- 1. phoenix coin (neoscrypt) phoenixcoin.org/archive/neoscrypt_v1.pdf (source: github.com/ghostlander/NeoScrypt) this is ASIC resistant and also going to be adopted by Feathercoin in the near future. 2. sonic screwdriver (SHA-256) bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=755180 this uses Tor and a number of other interesting security tweaks for more anonymous and private transactions. It also has the unique feature of embedding transaction data into an image. There are probably a few more inventive coins doing the rounds at the moment too, these are just the ones i like the look of. Okay dude and you are dead right! We need to now pick a solid and proven codebase but also it has to fit a couple of parameters at least because we want to use as much of the code as possible... So whatever we choose must be POW + POS at the very least, what kind of algo etc is all up for discussion. But sure I will check these 2 out they sound interesting. Oh also we should try to get one with the most up to date bitcoin codebase. If you can think of others please do share and really, thanks for giving your input, much appreciated

sonic screwdriver is POW & POS, the anonymity looks complicated to implement - it'll be one to watch progress of though. i forgot to link source - github.com/SonicScrew/SonicScrewdriveri'll investigate some others now, there sure are a lot of awful ones to avoid

There is aslo discussion going on about which algo XD Some are wanting X11/X13 some wanting multi-algo, some wanting to stick with scrypt, I think all these aspects need to be discussed really. For me I am pretty easy, I'll just be happy to have a nice solid coin for everyone so I can take a lie down XD

There is another option to explore... The older client is still moving... We could revert back to it and then kill the POW and see how the POS goes on it's own... Only problem with this that I see is I have no idea how the POS will act on it's own, but could be worth a shot?
What do you guys think of that? I know it has been suggested before, so maybe we could try?

Looks like there's something wrong with the new wallet? Is it better to switch it off? Regarding POS only coins there are POS only coins working fine. Shouldn't a prob for NET then? **edit Where did my forum go? There were >2300 NET now there only 25 NET?

You might aswell turn it off till get get it sorted yogi, there are most definitely problems and we're looking into it as we speak, trying to figure the best approach. Yes there are POS only coins but this is adapted for POS and I have no idea how it will behave, POS blocks don't come like they should at the minute so who knows how it will be, we are gonna try it on testnet but again, I don't know how it will be. We tested the new digi code thoroughly on testnet, comes to releasing on real net and it goes tits up. Ideally I think we need a new code base to be honest mate, I have no idea what is going wrong with it. As for the forum coins that's odd, but then again it is a third party software and always been screwy, I will have a look but really there isn't anything to look at to be honest

Hey everyone, I have no problems with a 1 to 1 swap, if it helps fix problems. If possible my vote would be to have the ability to still scrypt mine it as well as earn by some type of pos/interest via the wallet. I also agree that changing the name would be a bad move. When I started mining netcoin again, after a long pause, was because I recognized then name and know it's been around for a while, plus of course the team's hard work in updating it and moving it forward! Still very happy that you are looking to find answers, even thought requires a lot of work, instead of just moving on! So keep up the great work and you have my support for whatever you end up deciding is best for netcoin. Question. Which wallet should I be running 2.2 or 2.1 or does it matter, because of the problems? From some of the posts I'm a little confused. Have a Great Day!

It does matter, 2.2 is the update and it is mandatory. The problem is folks on 2.1 which is the wrong chain. Coins are moving on the 2.2 chain. I've been getting coins from the pool.
