This is my fault, not Georgem's. Please stop attacking him.

The deeper or bigger picture idea was something I wanted to see happen. I thought there was consensus on that, but perhaps I was mistaken.

I truly believe in the future potential of crypto and like it or not Bitcoin is the mothership at this point. It would be a gift to the corporate world if Bitcoin fails because a model for incentives after mining can't be found. Fees are the long-term, but there are currently problems with implementing fees.

I was at fault because I didn't put forward a strong enough case to counter the long standing position that devs know everything and they rule all. I should have put forward a strong argument that the keyboard is not mightier than the pen.

Dash's next big play, Evolution, was something I thought about and posted as something in SPR's long-term future many months before it was announced by Evan (yes, I do think Dash has used stuff pouring out my head meant for SPR - but I could be 100% wrong because I don't know how Evan come to think about Evolution).

And please remember, Apple's fortunes were linked not to its devs but to it's PR-investor.



If I can come up with a credible proposition (you tell me, is it?) for solving one of Bitcoins biggest long-term structural problems, something that will be exposed by the next halving, I can come up with a solution to the next steps to get there.

But first, I do need to address this incessant crypto dev idol thing head on. That is why we are where we are. Stay tuned.

Guys I think we need a support group to help deal with our depression.  CBG for short, better known as "Cucked By Georgem."

Absolutely. they say you never realize a loss until you sell, so I guess I'm taking this bag of spr to the grave!

I divested from another investment that would have netted me about 60K - enough to pay off my own schooling.

Feels bad...

At least we might have some nodes that might be profitable some of the time, that is, whenever miners allow it.

In summation,  there is no financial incentive to run servicenodes in the event they are ever developed, or even hold coins for that matter. The developer wants to dump all of his. Want a preview of the wallet? That's pay per view. You'll need to provide donations in a means that absolves him from the success of this project.

Rest assured, there's no way the developer would ever abandon the project after dumping all his coins though, he holds the principles of decentralization far too dear to his heart. You can totally take his word for it too, because everything he's said so far in this thread has been completely accurate. Also, dash is a scam. Thank God I divested from dash to support georgem, otherwise life would be far too easy as my daughter's college tuition would be paid and I would have passive income for the rest of my life.

Yes, this one is perfect.
Complete with country-codes and the license is also OK.

Mercator projection lets greenland look as big as africa, lol, but doesn't matter.

Thanks.

@georgem - this one looks promising?

https://www.amcharts.com/svg-maps/?map=world

While I work on the preview-version I promised to my patrons,
it would be nice if someone could help me find a good-looking worldmap that we could use within the spreadwallet.

It should be free to use, creative commons.
And it should be based on SVG format (Vector data)
possibly even have each country's border available as its own separate data point that I can access.



Any ideas?

I will leave you with that, I've got stuff to do.

Stay tuned.

BTW, in the spreadwallet, I have been including country-flags and a compact IPv4 and IPv6 database.

Both are free software or available under a creative commons license.

Country-Flags are from here:

http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/




And IP-Data is from MAXMIND GeoLite2 free edition:

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

It consists of 3 csv-files that are imported into the spreadwallet.

Just for your information.

Haha, you are right, but I don't think the Spread community is the problem.  

Hey, I never introduced you guys to my other hamster.

female djungarian dwarf hamster, 6 months old , has no official spreadcoin name yet:







She'll become the mascot of the spreadminer.

Georgem, I want pictures of hamsters!

Not pictures of the Spread community. 

I was just about to post this myself.  

Ahem:



 

As soon as the spreadwallet is in public beta, I will open source it.

Not before.

I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks for the response. georgem this is really cool stuff, why don't you open this up to get this out?

Just to clarify, this is not a full node. You said it could accept more than just block header, but as long as it only accepts block header it certainly isn't a full node. More of a thin wallet on the network mirroring actual full nodes.
Could this potentially be used as a full node? Maybe.
So does this mean Proof of bitoin node is off the table, or proof of anycoin node?

Also, you refer to using a local full node for the spreadwallet to reference, do you mean everyone wanting to host a spreadwallet will also need to host a full node for which ever coin is added? It's very confusing. All the old ideas seem to have been removed or changed significantly. If I was a potential investor I would see all this as a vanity project, as a patron I would only be giving you money to see what you can do, weather this is related to SPR or not.

Patreon is intended for content producers, which you do little of... Why would I donate?

There's so many issues around here with direction, development, agreement it's understandable that you would like to sell, even if you'r the developer.

Your reasoning for selling and switching to patreon is like a pane of glass, I see right through it. No one is suggesting that because they gave you 150,000 SPR you MUST do what they say, NO ONE. This just give's you the opportunity to spin a reason for selling your stack, as you know your closed walled system is either not doable in a real environment or it's years and years from coming to fruition.

There's literally nothing you can say to justify wanting to sell your coins. All the BS reasons for doing it are really pathetic mate.

Within 6 months you will talk your way out of releasing anything and walk away from the project blaming everyone else with your head held high.

Bullshit commence in 3... 2... 1....

You too.

PS: I swear I was about to post the same pic too. But for a different reason:


Anyway, enough for today.

Good luck with your project George.

People play different games.

The weirdest part about the altcoin sphere is this enforced conformity that I keep seeing.

I remember back when I presented the patronage idea,
I had suddenly 3 guys appear out of nowhere all telling me that,
"You need to do an ICO. That's the way it is done today.
Patronage can't work!"

So what was this all about, hm?
-->They are out to create conformity.

So...you seem to know exactly what motivates the masses and what drives them, but I am not so sure.  

Such a prediction can only be made in an environment that has been completely forced into line and where everyone behaves the same.

But this is exactly the part of the altcoin sphere that I want to avoid like the plague.

So, to a degree I agree with what you said about commerce.

But the more established altcoins always have some amount of commerce going on,
and even if its tiny, it serves an important role.
Keeps people grounded so to speak.

Those aren't people, those are sock puppets.

When all is said an done, virtually no crypto projects have achieved any uses at all.  Not even Bitcoin. 

The first project to actually prove to be USEFUL to normal people is going to rule supreme.

Go have a look at the DASH markets for the same thing, nobody uses altcoins to trade for goods or services, why on earth would anyone use SPR if LTC is even struggling to use it's currency for product placement.

When Bitcoin goes up people hold for the long term, sell or spend it on things, the game has changed from the early days years ago
