That was really the only urgent issue. Smooth sailing through block 63k and beyond.  

That's it? The difficulty adjustment formula? 

That is my understanding.   I believe it was applied about 11 hours ago.

so the fork was the difficulty adjustment? and doesnt require a client update?

Well the fork is late 

Oh I like your thinking!! Megacoin over a $1 would make me VERY happy!!!

cgminer-o, I think your estimate of $1 per Megacoin is a bit pessimistic. Before long I expect we will give Litecoin a challenge.  

Mec is on Cryptsy

So Kimoto's gravity well using time dialation, this seems interesting   

I am invalidating some of what I wrote in that post, there is a case where we need a laundry and don't want to use paypal or a credit card, i.e. we want to reveal our identity but not overtly to our bank (or the merchant can't accept paypal) yet we want to delink that back to our public key for our coin.

Anoncoin (over I2P not Tor) is anonymous against most privacy adversaries but potentially not against the traffic analysis (data mining) capabilities of an NSA adversary, since I2P isn't yet HIGH-latency enabled (to defeat timing analysis). Tor may already be a data mining operation of the NSA, because it only does 3 hops and the servers are not all the clients (thus handling a lot of traffic and have to be funded somehow, who do you think is funding the Tor servers? It only takes 1 or 2 or 3 in your onion route to give you away, especially when coupled with traffic timing analysis).

We need to be careful about summarizing at this point, because many issues are still being debated.

About my economics understanding, Moldbug is correct there can only be one cypto-currency remaining at the end, and the reason is the nature of unit-of-account versus store-of-value (specifically see linked point #2), i.e. only the majority will choose. Perhaps there could be others that exist not as the unit-of-account, e.g. ones that are more anonymous but shunned by the majority because they are, yet they will be outcasts/fringe.

Guys I need to stay focused on technical analysis (in technical threads) so I may not be able to follow the discussion here.


Those servers are linked back to your IP address, because the NSA can see all the traffic. Encrypting what is inside your packet doesn't always help, because of timing analysis. Also they can compel by court order the VPNs to turn over logs.

Gone?   I can still see MEC under my pending orders, but balances I had disappeared...

so what about our coins holding there?
