so what block is this supposed to be on now? Pool and client show 11200+ but even the method above I cant break 7900s...

Actually I ran this several times in a few different combinations just to see... and it is clear... there are peers at three different points of the chain sharing with everyone.

So, to clear this up once and for all... I followed the steps again, but this time I set all addnodes to connect= and added all the ones that showed they were on block 11200+ and then started with 1.0 and chaged to 1.2.

Flawless. Fast. Done.

To help out anyone who does not want to go through this, I made a zip of the 1.0 and 1.2 versions of PHS and included a conf file with the connect entries... once synced you should be able to change them to addnodes and be fine. This also includes block0001.dat with blkindex.dat synced to block 11225 and my peers.dat at the time of me closing the client.

Use at your own risk, I have no reason to have tampered with these but you should not just trust anyone who uploads anything and posts here. Do your due diligence, scan it etc. I take ZERO responsibility for loss of coins or anything else that might happen.

YES IT is SCARY SCARY,  I am SO Glad I so sold ALL mine but I may be willing to buy some again for the right price. 
THESE Things could be completely worthless in less than a day (maybe)

YES BAil out now SELL SELL SELL -  I will catch you for 0.01BTC  per 10,000 PHS  ( a better offer than that Scondrel - PalmDetroit LOL) and take my chances (like a man) -digeros

ya if he doesn't come back there will indeed be a new dev team. The coin has good properties IMO and worth saving
 
People are working on a new client at this very moment that doesn't get stuck.

see post #586

 ya its pretty bad 

there much worse problems in the code honestly

It seems to me that someone forked the PHS chain and it is no longer the original chain. This is probably from the mess when some people switched to 1.2 and someone with big hashpower did not switch.

Since I am on a multi-week business trip now and have no access to my compilation environment, I can not help much on this. What I suggest is that if someone can take it over with a reasonable chain, the coin will probably survive. The source code is public source in github, and it is up to date.

Also it looks like the time-based switch is not good, the block-based switch is probably better and more forceful. Unfortunately for now the chain is messed up and if the community can go with the current chain it's probably OK (i.e. as someone suggested sync with 1/0/1.1 then 1.2).

This is a zero-premine coin, and I have virtually no coins (except a few thousands from the early mining). I'll help as I can for the community. Certainly I did not expect such a turmoil during my absence...

+1 .... But PLEASE keep mining with all you got!
