...find the right spark





simply bored? or suffering sherlockitis? ...i don't comment on that compile thing more than: this is just a very common 'coincidence', simply cope with that. it's like seeking someone with say 'red' or 'grey' hair... and the amazing similarity of the ann headers are THE hint? ...oh c'mon..
and even if he or anyone else would have had a gazillion coins... tell me where to savely exchange them without any... wait... wait... EXCHANGE???
I feel like I'm talkin on behalf of that dev right now, which in no way is the case... but blowing such bullshit smoke doesn't help no one with nothing...  

Where is dev 

to some it might as well be a red flagg...gg if he could    
...go son, count how many coins (still in existence) came up with a self compiled mac wallet when going online (yup, not a bounty wallet)... you'll be surprised how many red flags you'd have to order...

even if superficially osx and linux (as well as other *nix oses) are, lets say close cousins, because they're both say 'derived' or 'amazingly precise remembered ways of the conceptual implementations that are in the following all re-invented from scratch and not just refurbished kernel code stemming' from unix, they are really a completely other world for a developer if not used to. And it's looks even more impressing to me to get it together propperly under windows. users of linux based os'es hardly ever posts things like 'uhm, how do I by all means get a binary of that stuff??? help, how compile teh stuff!1!!' as it's a common task to compile your binaries so they match and are optimized to your arch. and that is, most of the time (ok, or use a lazy ass bin pkg often available for the more popular softs/archs). I'm not used to coding on mac myself (d'oh objective c... redrum redrum...) and know only one hardcore mac dev in person but comparing the average linux user and the average mac user i'd say the latter are the lazyass bin pkg people knowing as much about compiling as the average windows user. open to be proved wrong.  

... so, ok ... osx has quite more in common with linux based os'es than eg. windows but go ahead and try to compile something that's a wee bit more elaborate than 'helloworld.cpp' on both os'es and tell me your experiences... I had mine and that mentioned mac coder I know showed me some amazing pitfalls
There's not much developers around feeling home on linux, mac & windows alike on system level... after a while they know how to get their things done on the none-home systems and there are enough known names among programmers that I wanna see you aproaching with an attitude like 'you're worth a red flag 'cos you cannot compile that stuff on this or that other os in the first place'

that is in no way an excuse for anything else, especially not the all so dreaded where's-waldo-game some dev's tend to play, just to clean up with something like 'cannot compile on mac = all signs on red / bad dev / scam' ... thats obviousy utter bull.

Anyway it would be shame to let this coin die since it had such support and interest...

If you look at the time the first blocks were mined on POW, and the launch time and difficulty rise, it's perfectly on launch time. Also dev denied being mantiscoin dev, and showed no signs in posts of trying to give promises/ get rid of coins.Also a looot of devs have had problems with compiling a mac wallet, that does not prove much. We also never saw any significant dumps. The absence atm is worrying but there still might be a reasonable explanation. Suprnova keeps hashing at 2gh/s which is surprising for a ''dead'' coin.
I saw a lot of people accumulating this coin, so it would be dumb if he messed it up before pow ended. Don't forget people could have real life emergencies as well

Well well well, pretty obvious bag of shit to play with hope you didn't get burnt.

I still think the Mantis dev is the Spark coin dev. Now that the coin is forked he will probably abandon it.

Mantis dev and Spark dev both couldn't compile Mac wallets and their main developments include some kind of interest rate system.

He keeps the premine intact...Mines before the launch and then dumps

From the earl review:

* MODERATE: Somewhat unfair launch. Reports of source being released after binaries, and the official pool before source was released

Yep....guess this is where I'm going next.

it's not much different from os to os.. and a osx virtual machine is easy to setup.

watching https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-viorcoin-voice-video-call-viornumber-cheap-international-calls-834910

what you guys think? looks like a dev that can deliver and actually write code.

not every dev works on mac and knows how to compile a wallet for it mate, most real devs stick to linux but can also compile on windows, rarely on mac

LOL, no. Just some kid that doesn't know how to code and prob read some tut on how to clone an alt... I called it before, the guy couldn't compile a mac wallet.. red flaggggggggggg

Hate to say it, but could it be another coin from the infamous Carsen Klock?

dev.. you blew it. dont ever make another coin. u dont have what it takes to be a crypto dev.
bye

...and now it turns crazy here    ...the thing is, I've tried to start the qt wallet (win) several times now since a reboot and each time, pop it closes due to an exception.
same on other maschines (w7/8).  
even from scratch with letting the client create a new wallet.dat and db, etc...
debug log seems to stop immediately after the moment, when the wallet.dat has been loaded... just a few sec. after start, gone...

however, try yourself... ( if you dare ) ...makes no obvious sense to me atm.
  
--

no clue how to get that thing started again ...lol, if however the whole thing turns out to be a scam and the wallet not starting anymore beeing part of it, this would be the by far weirdest scam in my book and I would demand on at least nowing the motive or what great and hidden outcome that made ^^
... the one major 'drop' on bittrex moved less than 2btc.. that would be a decent amount of action compared to the biggest downsell these few days back... or I am missing something completely

The dev deleted my posts... and they called it fud  

...now, I'm a complete irc dork, but maybe you get some from bittrex at their channel to make some short statement on the status, at least if they're actively into it (with dev) or simply on wait ?

the utter long time since 10042 is what makes me feel uneasy, too... now certainly, I don't know either what's going on at bittrex atm... but certainly there were still transactions going on when the coin forked, so this might not be a trivial thing to fix without taking a good chance to either badly fuck up a certain amount of traders or having to fork of refunds in case of an error...

and considering this as beeing a scam, it would follow an extremely unorthodox pattern... maybe it's my lack of imagination, but what benefit (apart from satisfying a sadist ) would one get from taking the main exchange and the majority of pools to halt... isn't it profit that motivates scammers? i don't see the slightest hint to anything close to making profit in that situation... any speculation beyond that would be exactly this: speculation.

...however, the one thing that bakes my cake right now is that after (clean) reboot of the maschine with the wallet, the damn wallet resists to survive the start sequence. even a clean and empty start doesn't work. shuts down before the splashscreen normaly would vanish... certainly strange to say the least

ive been in the irc channel constantly and the dev hasnt even logged in and joined the channel in at least 24hrs. i have no logs for getspark. if we dont hear form the dev in the next few hrs im abandoning this coin. i should just do so now because this dev has proven already to be unreliable and have his priorities elsewhere.
