I always wondered why the big prize has been thrown there (and TOR... ? What's good for? In practice I mean...). There are already GOZZILLIONS of this sweepstakecoins, even if the big stake is working and you can get 10 millions sweep, it's not helping the final price vs. bitcoin. It's just pushing toward the value of a cryptopenny. Or even less, like a decimal of satoshi.
2Bl coins is not too much. There are a lot of coins that has 10+ times more. Verge for example, but it still cost 100+satoshi and not 1 as SWEEP. And also thousands BTC of daytrade.
The SweepStake feature is just one thing that makes this coin different and could make it attractive to people - there are a lot of people who play lotteries. But we have what we have.
Actually I don't know what's the problem with TOR. SWEEP wallet works perfectly. It is one of the most stable that I have. For example one of the worst is TZC wallet that crashes blockchain file(or index) each time after improper reboot and doesn't recover it. I always need to delete all files and to sync it again.
Another bad example is Smart wallet - you'll need a lot of time to force to sync it.
I don't know what can bring sweep to life.
TOR hogs resources.
Especially ports. You cannot have another TOR based wallet (especially if you want a couple of SWEEP wallets like we need) when TOR is active as it locks the TOR port. Which means ANY coin that uses TOR needs to be setup on another machine/VM. Unless there is a way around it, which I have no knowledge of.
Apart from that, the SweepStake code itself does not work properly, which eventually forks the blockchain due to the way it finds the sweep block. There is almost no way around it except to recode it using a different method, which changes it from a sweep - to a jackpot. Heard of that coin before
There are a number of other things that need to be looked at, which means that the coin itself will have to change if we are to change the sweepstake code.
I have another bone to pick with you concerning some false 'facts' that you have posted a while back. You really need to get your facts straight when posting about coins that you base ALL you assumptions off ONE place. Those market cap places have not updated for AGES, and you blurted out falsities of figures as well the so called 'facts'. Even at the time of committing that absurd post of yours about GRN and INFX - they were doing very well. Even moreso now, but at the time of post they were doing very well.
When you publish OPINIONS - that's one thing. When you publish what YOU consider FACTS - then do your THOROUGH research BEFORE you post.
I don't want to go back that far now and respond to you ridiculous post, but I assure you when I read it, I was incensed at the fact that YOU do NOT do your thorough research BEFORE you post.
Other than that, you do bring up a few good points and on a number of occasions, actually have some damned good suggestions. It just makes me wonder what on earth you do before your post trash about other coins being dead and low volume and not worth anything. Such garbage belongs in the bin, not here.
I could go on about almost every point you made in that post - especially about answering you directly, as if you are my boss or owner of sorts. I personally have nothing to answer YOU for. Nor do you have the right to have that privilege. I owe you nothing, nor does the company. IF you were a shareholder in the company, THEN I would need to answer you directly as well as have some reasoning as to why when where and what.
ESPECIALLY when it comes to OUR coded miner CWIgm. Making things up about what I said it to be 'polish' is NOT a good argument. Especially when (once again) we OWE YOU NOTHING. This is our right as coders, as individuals, and as a company to produce what when where and how we please. YOU have the right to walk away from it - that's all you have. CWIgm-0.9.9 IS going to be released with a LOT more than a couple more algos in it. Which is one of the reasons we have been working on it for so long. But again, YOU don't have the right to demand from OR command us to do anything we don't feel we should. Say and do what you wish, but not here, or in any of our other threads.
It's this time wastage that I abhor responding to a person who posts such thing when he can't even get his facts straight. I won't tolerate it any longer here mate. Notice I have said 'I' won't tolerate it. I seriously was hoping that you would actually make some decent criticisms, and on occasion you have, but the majority of that post as you can see, still irks me.
That all aside and back to SWEEP, we are considering shifting it's focus off the sweep and onto another niche. Will see how that goes. If you have a concern about that, or have a suggestion, please voice it. If it is unfounded drivel, it will be deleted. I shall be more vigilant with such things in future.
Word of advice - don't take coinmarketcap as the RULE to all data you need to glean to make your decisions before you post. There are other methods and many at that.
