This is the same as spreadx11. Everyone knows x11 adding spread only makes it obvious that its different. If we call them servernodes people will understand.
I still like SpreadNodes personally Smiley and InstaSpread Wink lol For real though

Also guys for some reason my post got moderated for some reason although I don't know if it was from the self moderated thread or this one.



It was just a question about if anybody is gambling their SPR as I was going to suggest the SPR community hit up some Gambling Sites, I wouldn't mind some Roulette, Blackjack, Poker, Texas Hold'em, etc instead of just Dice.

well, it`s then emerging technology SPR is improving upon. Doesn't really matters if it is established or not. Just that SPR is improving it, so why sweep that under the carpet? Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and masternodes is a DRK idea, let's attribute it correctly. Lets render unto SPR what is really SPR's (decentralization and instant transactions with SPR implementation)...

Are we improving it? Or are we rewriting it?

DRK can own masternodes, it's their idea, their specific implementation.

But they don't have a patent or naming rights for every technology that thinks about using servers as additional actors in a cryptocurrency.

So what if another coin comes along that has nothing to do with darkcoin and decides to use servers..... should it call those entities Masternodes out of respect for darkcoin?

Ofcourse not!

Lets stick with "Decentralized Masternodes"

That could be the solution!

Yes, that solves both the attribution and identity problems.

It will be a huge mistake if we change the name away from masternode.  Block.  Blockchain.  Masternode.  These are terms everyone knows.  Should we call the blockchain a Spreadchain while we're at it?

PLEASE do not change the name of a technology everyone already knows.  While Mr. Spread rewrote masternode code, the idea behind it is still the same.  They're masternodes.

If you change the name you're going to be explaining what a fucking Spreadnode is 400x a day.

We want to differentiate from darkcoin, not bitcoin.  Smiley

What if I told you that masternode is a horrible name for a cryptocurrency that stands for decentralization?

Everybody understands "blockchain", it makes sense, it's a chain of blocks. D'uh.

Everybody understands "miner", they are mining for coins like a miner in a goldmine.

But masternode? What exactly is so "master" about them?
Who are they the master of?  Huh

I never understood that.

I think if we call our nodes something like ServerNodes then it is much more self-explanatory, right?


Servernode has the exact same problem of masternodes. Servers are centralization points, so servernode does not fit a decentralized coin either.

And then, why differentiate from DRK? it is established technology SPR is improving upon. "differentiating" from it in name only while keeping the similarities in functionality is just to sweep the dirt under the carpet.

It's the first time I hear someone say that DRK is established technology.

I will carefully assume that probably BITCOIN is established technology, although it hasn't left beta stage yet and who knows what problems lie ahead.

I am just saying.... Spreadcoin isn't Darkcoin. And it would make sense for us to start acting like in any healthy competition, instead of constantly following in darkcoin's wake.

 Cool

If we just could get rid of the word "instant" and replace it with something that goes well with "spread"?

Why are people comparing DRK and SPR and as if they are competing? DRK focuses on anon while SPR focuses on decetralization and it does not even have anon in the plans or does it???

You are absolutely right.

I think it's troublesome that both DRK and SPR use the word "masternode"... and "instantX"....

As far as I am concerned, those words belong to DRK.

I advocate that spreadcoin uses its own names for its technologies, so that it is not constantly associated with DRK.
What about Spreadnodes and something maybe along the lines of SpreadInstaSend or SIS for short Wink I dunno I definitely like Spreadnodes for the masternodes naming and I am totally open to any ideas about what to call the instant sending..... uh oh InstaSpread lol That's it InstaSpreading Smiley I like it Smiley

But wait, the whole internet is based on servers.
Something that is decentralized is based on centralized entities.

That's not a problem, you can built decentralized systems based on centralized entities.

And everybody knows what a server is.

I don't want Spreadcoin to have similarities in functionality with darkcoin for all eternity!
I hope that in the future we will walk more and more our own path, until one day we are practically unrecognizable from what we are today.

Or what, you imagine a future where we walk behind darkcoin forever?  Grin

Not in my dreams!

I agree, SPR should adapt the names SpreadNode/SpreadSeed & Instant Spread.

Spreadseed sounds weird.

I like Spreadnode and SpreadX

PLEASE do not change the name of a technology everyone already knows.  While Mr. Spread rewrote masternode code, the idea behind it is still the same.  They're masternodes.  Evan Duffield deserves the respect of not renaming his technology AND we will be causing ourselves headaches as well.

If you change the name you're going to be explaining what a fucking Spreadnode is 400x a day.

InstantX is also a known technology that works over the masternodes.  DO NOT change the name!

Let's see if Mr. Spread decides to do anon and if he does, how he implements it before we discuss name changes there.

PLEASE put the name changes to rest for now.

completelly agreed. Just not sure if InstantX really applies to SPR. Is it the same technology, or at leats a similar one to deserve the same name?

InstantX has to go away, we can't use that, that's a no brainer.
Should we implement an anonymization technique we should obviously also not call it DarkSend. Nobody doubts that.

But what if masternodes isn't the cool name everybody makes it look like?
Who again knows what a "masternode" is outside of darkcoin circles?

Try to view the world with the eyes of an outsider... I think calling our nodes something like ServerNodes makes everyone (even outsiders) immediately understand what those nodes do.

MultiSpread even though it sounds like some kind of butter lmfao

I don't really think we should "rename" masternodes. The term has already been coined, and it applies to an idea, not a specific implementation of the idea. InstantX OTH might be renamed, since it does apply to a specific implementation. Unless SPR implementation is similar enough to use the same name, of course.
