Did I miss hippo's response to my question about fair alts? Links please.

This happened less than a page after the quotes you provided (a month or so after launch)...I'm not sure if we are supposed to be discussing conspiracy here but it seems that the issue was dismissed...

If you have proof that the former proposition went forward then post it.  Otherwise, conjecture is kind of predictable and lost on me (Omission of information is a bummer of a birthmark)...because it looks like the issue was dismissed and community supported.

Meanwhile, if Mr Spread can't code MasterNodes the way he claims then your arguments are moot.  If he can then I suppose they are still moot.



Cheers!

And you guys fell for this ?!

You allegedly easymined 80k during the first month and neglected to create a single back up ?

No cold storage. Nary a private key to be found.

GTFO !

In this point ,he is right ,DRK WAS instamined within the first 24hour and the first weeks.

I agree lets not feed into whatever he is trying to say about this coin and keep this thread on a positive and upbeat note I never got into SpreadCoin until I think like end of November or early December and I haven't had a single complaint about anything that this coin has been doing or having to buy all my SpreadCoin because I lack the mining power to mine the coins myself.  I am quite content with the coin and the community and the progress that is being made with this coin and quite fortunate that the majority of my coins I was able to score right before majority of people have caught wind of this coin because I know that if everything goes according to plan this coin will be worth the investment Until then I will continue to SPREAD the word about this wonderful coin and it's very helpful community Cheers

He even admits DRK was instamined.

Can we just ignore and not feed that hippo and talk about something serious ?

Are you a recent purchaser of the Hippie Tech a/c? I'd have expected a hero member to know to read carefully the first couple of months posts because that's when scamdevs invariably give themselves away. Had you read the posts, you wouldn't be asking the questions. I would also have expected a hero member to have noted palmdetroit's commit of diffplot code to the cpuminer1.2 branch and taken account of that fact. I'd also expect a hero member to draw from a variety of sources such as the darkcointalk thread on Spreadcoin and have seen: “After seeing this thread here, I took the time to read the Spreadcoin thread and evaluate their devs code. It is very clean, intelligent, advanced code. He is certainly legit.”

But anyway, FTR:

Can't see much to object to here, it's a p2p application and once the blockchain is out in the open, how it proceeds from there is a collective choice formed by the actions of the community members. The move was discussed and the community endorsed the dev's action by the majority switching to the new blockchain.

Well, that just goes to show you that appearances can be deceptive. The first block of SPR I mined was block 4492, transaction e091....df5f timed at 9:31:46 on the 14th August 2014. This was two weeks after the launch and two weeks before Mr Spread announced that he'd lost his stash. I mined about 140 blocks between the morning of 14th Aug and midnight on the 17th and sporadically every few days thereafter. The last was on the 1st October, bringing the total to 4113.

My mining rig is my laptop, an Acer Aspire v5-571:



So, now everyone knows what h/w the “select few” use to ruthlessly plunder innocent new altcoins.

Call it “Bernard” if you like, it's still inaccurate. And you're being offensive in describing members of the community as dupes.

couldnt have put it better myself ...

kudos ...

Dear Mr. Hippie Tech, You might not be a programmer, at least it does not looks like so. Anyone that has already programmed knows that "making it work" is quite easy, but making it efficient is really hard work. Usually people that release GPU miners are in for the rewards, and need to be fast so they are the first ones to claim it. This "first to finish wins all" leads to really, really bad code, made in a hurry and barely working. Usually copy and paste from CPU code. But here comes the thing: GPUs work in completely different way from CPUs, they have different memory models, and not everything runs well in parallel. So, some people like me just come in afterwards and see an opportunity for profit. We just make some tweeks to the original code so it works in parallel, or better uses the different memory levels of GPUs. This is a little bit harder than simply copy and pasting, but that's still not rocket science. I had less than 2 months of opencl programming experience when i optimized in 40% the X11 sgminer. This is only possible because people who release the first versions have do it a hurry in order to collect the rewards. Then there is a second step, which i never got myself into doing it, because it is REAL hard work, and that's what Wolf0 did with X11 miner: scrutinize the code, rewrite inefficient parts, eliminate dead code, adapt every single line of it to better run on specific GPU architectures, etc. This is really hard work and time consuming, and only happens when there is real money involved. No one would simply do that "for fun".

So you are partly right in the end: people like me and wolf0 are greedy bastards driven by money, but the fact that we exists is not a "conspiracy theory", but a mere consequence of the (bad) rewards system put in place by most coins. There is no reward for performance or quality, only to "make it work", and so that's what people do.

Now, you claim that wolf0 did this on purpose with this coin and with other coins, well I have to remind you that wolf0 REFUSED to develop a GPU miner for spread because at the time it was worth absolutely nothing. Now, you are going to claim that his refusal was also part of the "plot" to produce a "crippled" miner? That's an interesting theory, but as Carl Sagan used to say: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Occam's razor leads me to the easier explanation: people write shitty code to publish it fast (windows 95 anyone?), and then other people come and fix it, for a price. That's way simpler and easier to believe than "wolf0 is in a conspiracy with all opencl devs in the planet so that they produce bad code so he can claim he fixed it later"

(anyone still has the links to wolf0's refusal to do a spread miner? i'm too lazy to look for them)

Definitely! A bad memory leak and loads of corrupted data. The DRK is strong with that one. I fear his usefulness is dated...

100 SPR looks good, it shouldn't be more. I would prefer less.

But yes, the important thing to know would be the max amount of allowed masternodes. And if it should be fixed or allowed to change over time.
Maybe we'll need to figure that number out while testing....

I'm just curious where all of a sudden Hippie showed up trashing and bashing SpreadCoin? I don't understand why? This is a pretty solid and FUD free thread for what in my opinion is a pretty solid coin with a solid developer and community behind it.  So why the harshness Hippie? I mean I know a lot of shitcoins and scam coins out there and the nonstop people preaching that it's a scam and it's shit but there aren't too many people FUDDING or bashing this coin which is a nice refreshing step for the BCT community from what I can see Anyways I wouldn't mind knowing what the problem with this coin is?

Awesome.

This will be so good!

If you can download and use a wallet, edit a textfile, cut/paste a few lines, you'll be set. Hell if you can figure out mining, you'll find running a MN easy.

Mr Spread will doubtless post some instructions, things might be a little different than with Darkcoin but it should still be a piece of cake.

Hippie I think you might have a crippled kernel.  

I for one have never run a masternode and done anything on testnet.  I will need a tutorial to start testing.  is anyone able to help with a guide that is easy enough for a layman to understand.  I know enough to get my miners running and basic network stuff.

If you are willing to be patient and can help a technically challenged guy through some of the steps then I am definitely going to jump in.

The 'proverbial you'...

Do you honestly expect us to believe that you and your shitalgo ponzi cloning chums, would launch a coin without giving yourselves a distinct and unfair advantage ?

Your optimizations are a farse. We're onto the crippled kernel games you are playing.

Same shyte, different coin. --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pebblecoin-xpb-first-dpos-cryptonote-coin-live-qt-wallet-gui-v0441-909624


Plzzzzzzz do your research thelonecrouton. Or don't. LMAO

I added a little note to that chart. (if someone can make a better english text, that's welcome ).

And i made a new chart: this displayed the last 1000 blocks stats: addresses who mined at least 2 blocks. (address with 1 block goes to "others")
