So, the last realised wallet that we can use for now it is the old one from January? If the new wallet will be implemented, it will be compatible with the old one?
Latest is here

Its a few weeks old.

What will be with masternodes in future? Does somebody want to implement it to this coin?
Yes.
Road map is here
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QRZskvS6ekYSofsM5WsTQB3-gtHb2KCIymL90eqx_mQ/edit#slide=id.p
An updated road map is due out next week. A few developments being discussed at the moment (sorry about that, Slack is both good for development discussions and bad for community engagement).

Turns out that a 1st generation Raspberry Pi can run a Spreadnode fine 
Same for Service Node?
Hello - I would like to tinker with putting a node on my Rpi2 - is there a good tutorial on how to do this?
Hiya
No tutorial yet but I just used a Wheezy image from the RPI web site (remembering to expand the partition to maximum in raspi-config) and followed these instructions:
http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=710.0
Worked perfectly but you need to set permissions on the spreadcoin data folder to be writeable by the Pi account otherwise you get a file not found error. It took over 2 hours to compile on the old Pi so I'd be interested to know is the RPI2 is 6 times as fast like they claim
Not sure if you'll need a swap file on the RPI2 but you definitely need one on the 1st gen.
EDIT: The image takes up 4GB so you need a bigger card even though the blockchain is <400MB
Ok very cool - i will try to tinker with it this weekend... Do you know if the spreadcoin miner will work on the Rpi2? Can it be converted somehow to mine? I guess it would be like a FPGA? Just curious.
I reckon the only way you could mine with a RPI2 is to setgenerate true (or gen=1 in spreadcoin.conf) although I think you'd be looking at 6 months between blocks

I reckon a Pi 2 would run bitcoind and spreadcoind simultaneously with no problem.
Question...will a service node be able to be on different devices to a bitcoind node?

anyone else having trouble to sync?

Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.
:/I had a similar error last year when my pc's time was off by an hour or so. (when it didn't switch to summertime for some reason)
Please check that your system clock has the right time set, or else the wallet will complain when there is a large difference between current timestamp (broadcast by your peers) and your system time.
That should fix it.
EDIT, or maybe it's something else, because such an error would normally lead to such an alert:
Code:
"errors" : "Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Spreadcoin will not work properly."
After deleting the chain it started syncing and got stuck at "9 weeks ago"
Then I copy&pasted the chain from synced PC, started client - et voila it went in sync
if anyone else gets this problem, please post the getinfo... i will look into it if i get more reports

Yes that would be awesome, but also a ton of work.
I would take on that project as soon as there is an API

well he does have a time issue:
"timeoffset" : -6
True, but that is only a very minor timeoffset.
As far as I know, this timeoffset is measured in seconds.
Code:
timeoffset: Seconds of difference between this node's "wall clock time" and the median reported by our network peers.
I regularly see time offsets like that on my nodes and on DASH masternodes and it has never caused me a problem before. I'm not sure at what point a time offset does become a problem though!
