Topic: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes - page 204. (Read 810085 times)

Im a DRK supporter going to hold some Spreadcoin as well. I like what Im seeing so im supporting both of these coins.

You are right, but this is just test version related, we are not sure yet how this will look like in the main version that will come out soon.

Masternode payment starts only when 300 elected MNs

I agree BCT is important for exposure.

testnet has already 180 MNs running, 160 of which are "elected". (which means they have passed the test of voting and will recieve payment soon)

Not bad for not even 24 hours of testing. Let's keep testing a few more days, and we will scratch the 1000 MN mark for sure.

Whoever wants to help us with testing, join us at:

Redundancy helped us (and Mr. Spread) yesterday very well. It is good to have things twice, so when one thing breaks or is unavailable you can still post and read.
BCT has had many outages lately too, which motivated me even more to create our own forum.


We should post atleast as much here as in our own forum. It is important to keep a steady conversation going on here, and update it with everything relevant that is happening in spreadonia.

lolz



Someone is stupid. And chinese ! <--- Nice space.

Darkcoin included this functionality in RC3 (6+ months ago?) but then reverted due to problems causing a fork the dev team couldn't solve.  Looks like Spreadcoin and Darkcoin have found a solution!  Perfect demonstration on how we can benefit from each other.

yes working together only strengthens both community . It seems Mr. Spread get Instantx idea from Evans whitepaper Also Darkcoin is benefiting from Spreadcoin's Decentralized MN selection

Quote from Evan @ https://darkcointalk.org/threads/v0-11-1-instantx-development-update.3769/

I'd just like to add that many of the Darkcoin team (myself included) have revealed our real identities and therefore are associating our professional reputations with Darkcoin.  If we are associated with unethical behaviour it has the potential to affect us beyond these boards and the crypto world.

I'd back up what stonehedge has said 100%. Honestly, we've experienced some of the worst trolling you can imagine in the DRK thread over the past year. Long term committed followers of DRK like myself and stonehedge, are just so over seeing the pithy, lame and childish manner in which these people operate. The DRK team is very serious and professional. While you may get the occasional flippant comment, on the whole DRK people feel pretty good that Mr Spread grabbed hold of this opportunity so quickly and so effectively (it indicates how substantial Darkcoin is and what a strong base to build on it's provided). It's just going to be so interesting to see how this all plays out and I can see long term synergistic relationship between DRK & SPR that will benefit everyone.

We don't need to have immature tribal rivalry and mindless spit-for-spat interactions with people who're from the DRK camp. Many of them are very keen to see SPR do well too (as are many SPR people keen to see DRK be successful as well). Lets just focus on getting the word about these amazing cryptocurrencies out to the broader community.

i agree with you.  i think both should operate in GIVE and TAKE manner. i think that is already happening well.

If you genuinely believe that well respected members of the Darkcoin community and team are posting on here with dummy accounts then I suggest you just click ignore.  The individuals you mention are far too busy promoting Darkcoin to worry about possible competition in the future from our first proper forked coin.  From experience of the Darkcoin thread over the last year, the worst trolls almost always turn out to be supporters of your coin who want to buy cheap.  

Any high profile Darkcoin supporters who are over here are interested in how you are developing the Darkcoin technology.  No more, no less.

Currently there are 3 groups trolling at this thread

         1. those who want to get spr cheap
         2. some Wackos like Hippie Tech
         3. Those who from Darkcoin- oblox , tungfa etc and many more with dummy accounts

What is the efficient way to deal with them?

1. use iron-fist to deal them
2. Ignore them
3. counter attack at darkcoin thread

What ever their intentions they are only making Spreadcoin popular. There may be people who sells huge volume purposefully , just to create panic in the market thinking people will scare away from spread ,but it is proven wrong. Price bounce back and this will increase the confidence of spread investors and to ignore those artificially crafted chaos.

Thanks for the clarification...

While none of that changes the sentiment of the point I was trying to get across, I did edit the post for accuracy.  

Just a couple of minor corrections for the sake of pedantry and clarity.  Darkcoin was a fork from Litecoin not Bitcoin. Darkcoin's most recent major update was to port to the latest Bitcoin codebase which means Darkcoin is now a fork of Bitcoin and Spreadcoin is running on the old Litecoin code. 

Maaan ! Not only is Mr Spread adept at :
- flash/easymining his own coin
- neglecting to back up his shit
- losing some or all of his easymined plunder
- demanding that he be paid up front if he is to continue developing copy n pasting SPR
edit
- duping the gullable into paying up
- altering / rigging SPR in ways that are most benefitial to the insiders and whales

He is also pretty damn good at cloning this forum ! lolz

edit II

Don't feed the FUD...

1) Everyone that does their homework should be well aware that Spreadcoin was openly developed as a new and updated version of a Darkcoin branch, that itself was basically a customized adaptation of the Litecoin fork, which itself was an adaptation of a Bitcoin fork... No one ever said Spreadcoin was re-inventing the wheel from scratch. Simply put, Darkcoin has been a great improvement over the Litecoin fork of the Bitcoin base it started from, and we believe Spreadcoin could prove to be a great improvement over the Darkcoin fork it started from. Same great stealth, but a little different philosophy and implementation. Arguably a great "bloodline" all the same.

And the rest? Nonsense...

2) The Spreadcoin developer whilst trying maintaining his privacy has been nothing but open and on-time with what he has promised to date.

3) Peer reviews of his code and statements (located in previous posts in this thread) appear to demonstrate a high level of programming proficiency.

4) Pools. The developer never claimed that pools were not possible. What is clearly stated in the "White Paper", under the paragraph "Pool Prevention" is that code was put in place where any miner in a pool can broadcast directly to the network that it has found a block before the pool can transmit that information to the network so that it can report the same block. This makes it relatively easy for the reward for that block to go directly to the miner rather than the pool. Since this is the case, it makes it extremely difficult to trust that all of the miners in a given pool are actually sharing the block rewards with the pool instead of submitting the blocks directly to the network and keeping the rewards for themselves.

5) Stop for a second and take a serious look at all the accounts so suddenly making up all the negative FUD. 99% of them are brand new "sockpuppet" accounts. The other 1% might be older accounts, but if you search out their names (currently disabled here on BCT, but still searchable with Google) it is clear that FUDing is all they ever do regardless of whatever Altcoin thread they happen to be posting in at any given time. Almost like its their job... Oh. Wait a sec... Maybe it IS their job!  

Simple logic...

This is not by any means coincidental, but clearly shows an obvious and coordinated intent to rattle the uninformed and shake the loose hands in an attempt to either inflict damage on a competitor, or much more likely, so that they may accumulate at something lower than the current price.

The ONLY way that it works is if you buy into the BS and panic sell your coins for less than current market value. Pay attention to the order books. Because the majority of us are either holding or accumulating, overall volume is relatively low. This means that if one or more of these FUDders has accumulated a fair amount of SPR, they can simply coordinate with each other or individually short sell to themselves in order to artificially drive down the price and scare the uninformed or skittish investors into dumping.

Don't focus so much on the last price, but instead on the depth in BTC value of the low ball trades and sell orders. A real correction will generally start gradually and then ramp up to look like a flood of sell orders equaling a LARGE amount in BTC. Not just a BTC or two worth of low ball trades usually pushing the price down just low enough to trigger stop loss autobots and loose hands... Don't be fooled into taking the bait. Keep in mind that to manipulate the market like this, they must put a portion of their holdings at risk on the market short selling enough to push the price down. At this point, usually one of two things happen. People either panic and start selling into the manipulators buy orders at this artificially low price, having the effect of pushing it even lower, giving the "bad guys" the cheap coins they were after in the first place and allowing them to accomplish their goal, OR, they simply buy up all of the manipulators low ball sell orders until the "bad guys" eventually run out of the funds they had allotted to manipulate the price, making them lose those funds to the market at a loss.  

Remember that we are in the Wild Wild West of unregulated trading. It is both an exhilarating and sometimes scary place to be with all of the responsibility of your success or failure falling squarely upon your own shoulders, with very little or no chance of recovery from a bad decision. This also means that there are no regulations or legal consequences forcing people to toe the moral line. Unethical people can and will use FUD and anything else they can think of to con you into dumping your holdings so they can quietly accumulate during your fall and profit (at your loss) on the price recovery or bounce. Don't make snap judgements based on what other people broadcast in these forums or on twitter. Take the time to reference back through the threads and DYOR (do your own research) before making trading decisions. And if you do not understand what is being talked about or what a given subject means in the overall scheme of things, please ask. This is one of the friendliest and supportive Altcoin communities I have experienced to date, and there are lots of "old timers" that will be happy to answer HONEST inquiries if you'll give them the chance.

Happy Trading!

This is a little insulting to Evan (lead dev at Darkcoin).  He posts an update and next steps report after each version bump and I can see nothing in this update that deviates from his roadmap from three months ago.

Congrats on the seemingly successful testnet launch all.

It was deleted.  I couldn't access it earlier.

It seems it might have been recently reinstated as the last post is almost 12 hours ago.  If that is the case then I think that it should be closed (in deference to BTCtalk rules) by Mr Spread with a re-route to spreadcointalk.

Or any other solution that works for BTCtalk.  Really, been following threads all day on spreadcointalk and everything is positive thus far.  If the thread re-opening is a precursor or an adjunct to his reinstatement then cool beans.  But the way I see it, everything is moving along nicely over there.  Kind of interesting actually.
