I don't feel so lonely - someone else is on the pool...

I was just commenting on your post history and how frequently you resort to spreading false information / accusations.  You've just proven me right.   Continue on if you must...

I think if you look back at the history, iGotSpots put Spots on the back burner for something else he was working on.  It was a payment service called PaySHA.  I don't think it ever went anywhere though.  So, I guess he moved on to where he's at now.  It really doesn't matter at this point...  Aside from launching the coin, and maintaining it for about a year, he has no involvement at this point.

And you are a pumper of crapcoins.

I don't see how that makes you any better of a person than me.


He ditched SPOT for this new one.

So what does that tell you about the new one's chances?

Figured out what this guy is talking about.  Man, he has a post history of FUD after FUD...

iGotSpots has been working on another project.  He's released details of it here...  It actually look pretty cool.

iGotSpots moved on long ago; we've tried to save the coin as best we can.  Things are going smooth, just quiet, for now.  You're on an old thread BTW.

As i know, cryptsy updated their wallet and coin is ok.
What hardware you talking about? What a coin?

So what is the consensus of what happened to this coin?

Dev fled without delivering on promises?

You'll be happy to know he's already created hardware for his new coin.

Less than 48 hours until the hardfork now, I hope everyone has upgraded at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annspt-spots-cryptsy-fork-919-scrypt-introducing-reward-reduction-615513

Hi Again Everyone -

If you haven't already switched over to the new thread, please come join us!  We're making a lot of progress and have delivered on nearly every deliverable that has been requested.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annspt-spots-cryptsy-fork-919-scrypt-introducing-reward-reduction-615513

I also wanted to share that the long-awaited Spots to Silver store has opened this evening.  Come and place your order today!

I am pleased to announce that I am ready to open the Spots to Silver store. 

We are selling by the gram, up to 10 grams per order.  This amount allows us to keep the envelope under 1 oz for easy shipping, pretty much anywhere in the world, as a standard letter. 

Obviously, this is just the beginning and we'll add additional weights and types of metals in the future.

Me again with another update

When the hardfork takes effect on June 1st the blockchain will stabilize leaving us with a stable coin that over 175 merchants already accept. I will also launch a Spots to Amazon gift card store at the same time.

Shortly afterward we (the devs) will launch a Spots/precious metal exchange. Within a month or two after that we will launch a marketplace where you can buy and sell things with Spots.

These aren't pie in the sky promises like you see so many others make. (usually by people who can't actually do any coding or have the skills to make things happen.)

So what do we need from you to make this a reality? Simply upgrade to Spots 2.0 at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annspt-spots-cryptsy-fork-919-scrypt-introducing-reward-reduction-615513 and tell anyone you know who uses Spots to do the same.

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know the Windows client and source code are up in the new thread at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annspt-spots-cryptsy-fork-919-scrypt-introducing-reward-reduction-615513

The hardfork will happen at June 1 @ 00:00:00 GMT switching to KGW and Scrypt-N, so be sure to upgrade by then if you want to take part in Spots v2

If your Spots v1 wallet.dat is in the default location the Spots v2 installer will even copy it over for you (make sure Spots v1 isn't running first.)

Unfortunately the algorithm has been coded for several days now.  Even if we wanted to introduce a change, it would mean throwing away hours of work.  However, the coin has been significantly upgraded and if we want to make these changes, it is much easier in today's code.  Once I get the forum up and running @ theSPT.com this would be a perfect topic to discuss.

Now, let me transition in to the great news!  The source is done, tested, and released...  The Block Chain is online...  We have our first pool on the new client...  We have a new web site...  Please begin following the new thread, and transition away from this v1 announcement. 

New Thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annspt-spots-cryptsy-fork-919-scrypt-introducing-reward-reduction-615513

A big thank you to the community for staying together and backing a solid idea.  We are at the floor, and I anticipate significant upward movement as we gain traction.  A huge thank you to MrData, who was instrumental in reverse compatibility with v1 and debugging the code, as well as hosting the new explorer.

Here's to a bright future!!!

Mike

Re: Switching to Scrypt-N

If it’s not too late, please consider a more energy efficient algorithm than Scrypt-N. I heated my house with Scrypt during the winter and it’s my understanding that Scrypt-N is a little bit worse. With the weather warming up I am having to switch over to X11 and Groestl type coins. Along with resolving the heat issue my power usage has also dropped by ~40 percent, which is a win win for me.

Up until somebody started dumping huge hash rates on Spots and driving the difficulty through the roof it was my go to coin. Alternately I mined Diamond coin… until somebody figured out when to dump huge hash rates on it in order to get the bonus blocks… same result.

Diamond has since switched to Groestl and is now getting consistent hash rates. In case you read their thread, I should note that they did incorporate several other changes into the new fork which unfortunately made quite a mess of things at the start.

AmericanComputerNerd, detailed and satisfying answers. Thank you. I think, community will support you, you did good work if will finish what you planned. Especially "environment" - real things for coin, markets, shops etc.

Good luck with this Americancomputernerd, the community for this coin has needed someone like you to come along for a little while now (since the dev went awol).

Desten, I have been following this coin specifically for several months...  It was one of the first coins I mined, and I have always been excited about the idea of getting something of physical value out of these digital currencies.  The bitcointalk.org label of "newbie" is misleading, I have been in the technology industry for several years and have been following bitcoin / litecoin / altcoins for nearly a year.  I never had the desire to register for an account here until I wanted to talk...  There is no kidding, I want to save this coin and follow through with the precious metals storefront that community has been waiting for.

How you could retake this coin if old dev was igotspots and he are hiding from this thread and forgot everything he promised to do?
The source code is open source, posted at http://github.com/spot-master/spots-master/, everything needed to save the coin is here...  Further, cryptocurrencies are supposed to be decentralized and community-driven.  The success / failure of the coin should have never been solely on him.  It is not my intention to take this on either...  It is my intention to build a community of enthusiasts, experts, and supporters.

Or you are igotspots v2/upgraded version? Smiley
I'm not sure who igotspots really was (is?), but I am not him.  Further, I would ask you if he was going to save the coin why wouldn't he just do it?  Lol.  I've also said this publicly and sent him a private message, my goal is to not "take over".  He is welcome to rejoin the community if this is still an interest to him.

And how you can change spots1 wallet at cryptsy to spots2 wallet, they are ignoring most of tickets or answer to them after a weeks or even months?
If the community supports this upgrade, they will have to upgrade the client, as the store of value will be on the most current fork.  There is documented evidence that the coin was abandoned and the community is supporting a revival / upgrade of the client.

You trying to make continuation of current blockchain, i suppose?
Thanks to MrData, Spots2 will be reverse compatible with Spots1 until the first fork moves the coin to KGW or Scrypt-N (whichever occurs first).  At this point, all version 1 clients will have to be retired.

AmericanComputerNerd, you are newbie and from the second message you started to rebirth this coin... You really interested or you are just kidding the community? ))
If first - then good luck and i wish you will be supported financially from old holders, i'll try to give a few satoshis when recover some after huge losses caused by fucking cryptsy. If second - then... then no words.
