sorry was offline. it's getting really interesting here
1.) i have no idea what this 8bitparty vs MTR thing is. sounds like politics. too complicated. when there is a fork, i will run both / all three clients and mine in parallel ( this has no additonal costs like POW coins would have.. ). The exchanges then will make the decision which is the "right" network.
2.) i think 8bitparty i working intensively on the network ( see point 3 ). so i would trust him!
3.) The network abuse: i still don't quite get what the problem is.. one node found 55 blocks on 8-22. can you really say that this is "too much"?.. isn't there just luck involved?
but i can tell you one thing: i am just running the original client. here are my adresses:
8QdP5HuCXM8wWqe2zY5SFztoeCauH4dBdt
8SBD8vMDEDJ6HJrk1CNtoDF5RpWKYW1sCr
8bcqVTpWngAhwXrZvLVeakBN6ZEsdRsdDv
the first two adresses are masternodes, the third is staking.
anyways.. i will now publish all the factors which could give me an advantage.. so you could imitate them that we are on the same level:
- fast server: ssd / intel 8-core / datacenter with 1 gbit connection / linux with compiled binary
- the client has >100 connections ( so maybe this increases the probability to get chosen as the correct masternode? )
- the masternodes are running since the beginning of 8bit ( so they are very "prominent"? )
- i run with "disablesafemode"
- i do many small transactions: so staking can use inputs with just 1 coin
- i own about 1000-2000 coins
4.) so what does this "no enforcement" thing mean.. one could modify his client and then pay nothing to masternodes? is here anybody besides to 8bitparty capable of doing this?
