Is this still alive?

Nice.
On the twitterbot/ircbot. I was working on making it one bot, but that turned out to be a pain. So it are 2 separate bots atm. the skcbot in #skeincoin, and @skeintip on twitter.
The twitterbot can be called by tweeting:
skeinbot balance
skeinbot address
skeinbot tip @sometwitteruser amount (for example: skeinbot tip @Strikerbee 1)
skeinbot withdraw address.

(Please note, you do NOT have to include @Skeintip, also i'll adjust the funds for the few ppl that tried the bot on the old wallet)

Also, have you guys seen this? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10459189  ,
Banx.io Acquires Atomic-Trade.com ?
Wonder what that means for skeincoin.





 

Skeincoin 0.9.3.0 is available.

After running Skeincoin 0.9.3.0 for a couple of weeks I haven't find any issues with it.

The 0.9 branch on Github has now been merged into the main branch.

Links to the Windows build are available in the OP.

Special thanks to nzsquirrel for this contribution! It shows the real spirit of co-operation in open source.

Don't feed the troll peeps

To the Russian team's credit, the chained-hash tactic was introduced solely in the hope of delaying the onset of ASIC mining and not as some imagined enhancement to security. Quarkcoin is still breezily touting their particular folklore combiner as a security enhancement.

This is only due to inefficiency of public implementations (haha, implementations, blatant copies of SPH lib code blindly adjusted to barely compile on AMD). Sifcoin has just a chain of hashes while quark has branches.

Apologies to Skeincoin for drifting off topic and thank you for your answer to my question above.
Nice to see moving to 9.x codebase.  

I have no comment or opinion on the statement of 'multiple identities' launching several coins. It may be true and anyone who knows the ropes around here is well aware there are multiple people and 'teams' who have released a lot of coins under different names. My only thoughts on matters like this are when 'scam type situations' come into play which I cannot endorse no matter who launched the coin.

Simple inflation coin was launched June 2013 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240894.0;all

Quark was launched July 2013 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-qrk-quark-core-010-upgrade-260031

I agree quark had a strong push on marketing and a good name.

Quark was certainly copied from Simple Inflation Coin and Quark was designed with very quick block reduction to create that ever loved instamine...

I think this commit on github even for someone who never read code before can see it https://github.com/MaxGuevara/quark/commit/1c0961810b65226bf74ba98e7c0a11ada8b7cd32#diff-55e43a5d20bb81f2c06e4ddaee58ae6bR2

SIC is still running very stable with a blockchain over 170k tall.

Quark is certainly not the only coin to 'borrow' form SIC there are hundreds of coins that probably would not exist right now had it not been released.

As to speed of mining on gpu's the current miners available for both are fairly equal when you consider that difference in the proof of work rounds.




edit 1

also noticed this in quark source code so at least whoever launched quark actually credited the developers of SIC line 2 https://github.com/MaxGuevara/quark/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2

sadly not many people read souce code

edit 2 If anyone wants to discuss the gpu mining issue in more detail i suggest you post to the SIC thread since it is unfair to this coins community to continue posting off topic here.  If you actually have any comments of value to offer and can communicate in writing at a level above that of a teenager when I have time I will try to reply. 

Sifcoin has a slightly different PoW algo that does not thwart GPU as efficiently (and siphylis connotation in its name when spelled in Russian lol)

The Russian coin came up with that New [multi-hash] tech, not Quark.  Quark devs copied and pasted it so no, they should get no credit for that either.  But it seems few know that.  

lol, only top coders like me know.  haha!!!

Could be gielbier could be.. It would not surprise me!
Yes looks like your dev likes woman names when he post on the internet. Google "WillowRosenberg"

Still haven't seen any proof but, I agree with reorder if Kendra is the QuarkDev, thats nice.

silvermetal, have we talked before?

offtopic:  
Max...

The technical part of execution was just fine if I get it right. The drama of unsuccessful instamine/pump is a different story

Anyway, Quark was a huge success and a major innovation of its time, it would only make an honour to RedKendra to be its inventor.

read the link.
purpose was good, the execution was terrible

And what is exactly bad about a coin made to be mergemined with Quark? Save that there is little sense in such a coin these days.

It is a coin created to merge mine with Quark. He created mimic in cooperation with "Digitalindustry", a well known scammer. Full details (and the role of "MaxGuevara") can be found in this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9007804

In this thread you can also read more about "Digitalindustry"

Good that you read my posthistory. More people should do some background check of posters before they believe what they write.

Not good is that you didn't quote me very accurate:
I didn't mention he is the developer of woodcoin. I mentioned he is involved with woodcoin.
He admitted that he created the wallet for Woodcoin. Therefore he is involved with the accountname "WillowRosenberg" for woodcoin.

Just check the post history of MaxGuevara, JohnJoule, and kendra and you will find out that it is one and the same person .

Any source to back that up? I see you have been making this kind of posts in other topics also.One to those is claiming that redkendra is the developer of LOG [Woodcoin]. That would be very strange, because the wood dev came in #skeincoin with questions regarding Skein-SHA and pureSkein and reorders skeinminer. Stuff that kendra should know. (and does know, which was demonstrated with the merge mine attempt). I find it extremely unlikely that the woodcoin-dev is kendra. If you could provide any proof (?) that would be nice, but on the other hand, it doesn't matter.

skeincoin was no premine, kendra is always lurking ( sheepman even nicknamed him cryptoninja, because of the fast updates for the blockexplorer ip), network is still active after a year, and it still has exchange activity. It might not be hyped nor get the value appreciation, but there is an active community.

Never heard of that one, looks like a blatant LTC clone. But Quark makes for it I suppose

Impressive in a good sense? You like mimiccoin?

Even if true, what is particularly bad about that? The list of coins is rather impressive in a good sense.
