I still don't know why there is no ChristCoin. You know "in God we trust" that kinda thing. I bet it would go BIG.

Oh...they tried...https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-launched-jesuscoin-jcc-windows-and-linux-wallet-webfound-399681

I'm still amazed that it didn't go to the moon...but then again, I think people who believe in Jesus don't necessarily believe in the moon...; )

I'm sure they are working on it.... but it's probably difficult for them to find good christian mathematicians!  Grin

lol with GodX11 algo and HolyGhostSend

...actually guys this might be infallible.

I'm just imagining all of the backwoods republicans who will refused to buy into virtual currency. This would be perfect for them. And let's face it, republicans are great at holding back progress.

Are we really having the bit/satoshi argument here.

Refer to it as the industry standard reference. No name change necessary.

I am just happy that we have our original thread back. hahaha.

See how such discussions keep us entertained and the trolls away? I love it.

Everything we say here is just thinking out loud, to be taken with a grain of salt.

Ofcourse.  Roll Eyes

I'll buy that foe a dolla...spit balling is fine.  But there is no reason to start implementing a name so that we have to explain everything again.  People know what Masternodes are.  The Masternodes here provide the same function and people already know what that entails.  If anything, refer to them as 'easier Masternodes'.

That said, I think that there is no harm in the discussion...I also think that Mr. Spread has the final say.  If he continues to use the terminology that he has been using then there it is, perhaps.

Of course, there is something to be said about a mildly heated discussion focused on SPR that keeps the trolls at bay...even if it is mildly fallacious...and I loled at the ape analogy.  Let's use this as the main selling point when we market SPR in the Bible Belt...Cheesy

I honestly think that we can only keep the trolls away, if we ourselves start acting a little more erratic than usual.

This is the jungle called BCT... let's have some fun.

If you wanna let it all hang out, that's the place to do it!

My dream is that spreadcoin keeps on innovating more and more, until one day what we now call masternode (influenced by darkcoin) has so far deviated from darkcoin that it can't be called masternode anymore.
I have no problem with that and in fact agree 100%.  But at present, they are masternodes.

I even agree with that!
The best proof for that is that Mr. Spread's first action with his version of masternodes was to recreate instantx.

So it's obvious that our masternodes are derived from darkcoin masternodes.

But I don't think this is a path that we will stay on much longer. I honestly think instantx is a fad that will go away.

As I explained in another thread at spreadcointalk, all cryptocoins have the veeeery serious bottleneck problem that the limited block size allows for only a small amount of transactions every minute.
Like thousands of times less than what is possible with legacy payments systems like credit cards or paypal.

So what good is instantx when only a limited number of transactions can happen every minute anyway?

I see much more potentital for spreadcoin to solve such important problems like the transaction bottleneck instead of copying what darkcoin does.

That's what made darkcoin successful, right? Solving problems.

Calling them [whatever] decentralized masternodes won't work either because, make no mistake, Evan Duffield WILL fix the reference node issue at some point and Darkcoin masternodes will be decentralized as well.

They're masternodes. 

I don't know why I'm arguing this as Mr. Spread has proven himself to be ethical which is part of the reason I've invested like I have.  I have little doubt he'll keep the name the same.

Mr. Spread already has kept the name the same. He always talks about masternodes.

I don't think this has any meaning to him at the moment... it's just a name.

Kinda like what separates humans from apes.... yes, those are our roots... but we are our own species now.
Sure, you could insist that humans ARE apes... but at some point it can also be considered an insult to call a human an ape, right?  Grin

Or calling a tree a seed, or a young girl a mother. Those things grow up and develop and become something else. If we don't differentiate that then people will just assume that we are the same.

I don't care about what its name is,I care about whether the pool mining issue can be fixed.

There is no issue. The coin was designed to make pool mining a ridiculous idea. If you pool mine then you will lose your coins. Unless you get into a pool that you completely trust. The likelihood of that happening is slim, which means that coins will be greatly decentralized. We may see a few small pools popping up, but they will not let in anyone they don't trust.  The coin is working perfectly as planned.
If you never mine at nonce-pool,please shut up!


I'm sorry, have you mined at nonce-pool? Do you know what is going on here? Perhaps your lost.

He may do that, but it will be terrible for trying to market the coin.
If we get a decentralized masternode up before Evan does then we can own that. He can't.

And since the products are different we are stealing the name masternode. Its unethical.

If we look too much like DRK then no one will buy into SPR. There will be no point. We need good advertising that makes it clear we are separate.

the name Spreadnodes isn't bad at all to me. But we just have to make sure to add the words Decentralized Masternodes next to it on graphics and stuff.

Spreadnodes
- Decentralized Masternodes -

That's it!

Best suggestion yet.

If you go to wikipedia and look up darkcoin, you will see that their definition of a masternode is:

Quote
Darksend's mixing is performed by Masternodes, servers operating on a decentralized volunteer network which have the responsibility of signing the transactions.

Now what if our future wiki site is saying something like:

Quote
All those services are performed by Spreadnodes, decentralized masternodes (link to darkcoin) that use a decentralized system of blablabla....

I would be ok with that.

Proper attribution (especially when it comes to open source attribution) doesn't mean that you need to put the name of the first guy who had that idea on your product...

This is the best way to go. I think we should do it.
