Found 2 more blocks today, so I've got 4 in 72 hours of mining. 1 per 18 hours. 950 kh/s avg hash speed here.

Trying hard to find a rig-renting website which does solo mining but it doesn't seem to exist so perhaps I should just buy more SPR instead.

I found a guy to mine spr, i think he had about 80mh? But once i told him about spr he just went on to mine it on his own lol.

The cost was higher than normal x11 too.
Damn lol. Well at least we now have another community member!

I agree, it's true decentralised nature is what appeals to me. And Masternodes would be awesome!

For the marketing aspect:

- I think the logo is absolutely great! The website is nice and crisp, maybe a nice visual/scematic on the landing page would work, allthough I also like it with only text.

- The purple color of the corporate identity should be the same everywere (I see some different shades now on the homepage).

- I think we also should use an opensource freefont for the corporate identity. Now the Myriad is used, it is nice but copyrighted.

I made some examples, 1. Montserrat, 2. Ubuntu (bitcoin typeface, however different weight and not slanted)



- I think the Dev and the community are the best marketing now, giving input in the thread, creating a good base for this coin.

- With the graphics I can help, but maybe Susel wants to do that.

- Can someone create a spreadaddress.org so paper/cold wallets can be generated?


Thats it for now.

Cheers

I love the logo too, very much.
In fact it's what caught my eye when I was scrolling down the coinmarketcap site the other day.

Ya I think the whole point is that you have to solo mine this coin if you want any of them Wink But I hate the fact that I have to market buy my SPR as well but like I said I'm not worried about it at all because I know all the BTC that I put into SpreadCoin will come back to me 5X fold Smiley So let the buying commence Wink

Here are the top miners (at least 100 mined blocks) Grin

~~snip table

Interesting...my mining activity won't show up in your list because every block reward I have ever found, generates a new address. I think Mr. Spread mentioned every block generates a new address. This list shows rewards going to single addresses. Wonder what they are doing different?
miningprivkey=  maybe?
That's exactly what I was thinking as well Smiley

Guys calm down with all the big plans, I'm trying to compound my bankroll here. No moon yet, let me accumulate please. Tongue
Dude how do you think I feel all my buys had to be set higher because all these bigger BTC orders came in and people just keep buying these coins up so what exactly are we supposed to do about it? I mean the coin was launched in June or July and I mean people had to assume that eventually the masses would start to recognize a good investment when they see it.  It's just the problem at first was that it was hidden in a sea of shit coins and there wasn't much marketing or promoting of this coin because Mr. Spread was more mainly focused on the technical aspects of the coin and the innovation towards what he is trying to achieve with this coin Smiley So I mean get in while you can or hope to heck that a rich list guy decides to take some profits and dumps into some buys but the way things keep going and the way this coin is being bought up on each exchange that it is on I don't think we are going to see less than 30k a coin again Sad Sorry mate Wink
It's time to consider to form or recruit a team including roles Dev,PR,marketing,etc.
Each role plays its role to make this coin strong and wide accepted.
I agree that this would be a great idea for this coin because that really is the only thing that it is actually lacking is the Public Relations and Marketing aspects and I also think that Mr. Spread wouldn't mind all the help he could get in those areas because that would leave all his free time to work on making the coin the best that we have ever seen and make sure that everything he is putting into this coin comes out 110% perfect Smiley
so,how about putting a team member list on the OP to add the name who is willing to join ?
perhaps before that,there are alot of details to discuss.
I would love to join and I could only really help with the getting the word out about the coin and maybe making the twitter and facebook if there isn't one already for it.  I could also look into talking with possible merchants into taking SpreadCoin as a payment or maybe even getting it added to that new Casheer app? Does anyone think that is a good idea? I dunno I'm just throwing ideas out there because I really would love to participate in anyway possible with this coin Smiley

I have a background in venture capital.  One of the most common mistakes startups make is trying to do too much too soon.  

But that's exactly my point.
Let darkcoin perfect it's anonymization process... they already have the best developer for this.
It will probably take darkcoin a few more years to develop a brilliantly working ecash solution. (those things need time, I hope you all are planning long term.)

But meanwhile... what does Mr.Spread do? Just wait?

Ofcourse not. He should concentrate on the things he's already proven to be exceptional in:

1) solo-mining / decentralization methods
2) best wallet I have seen to this day...
...

so why not just continue walking this path?

for example:

3) More wallet features (p2p messaging etc)
4) Even stronger solo-mining enforcing
5) keep offering people ONE WALLET AND NOTHING ELSE ----- > MOST SPREADABLE COIN EVER.
( I even hope that Mr.Spread figures out a way to make GPU mining impossible or rather irrelevant... I am dreaming ofcourse... or am I?)

Does spreadcoin even want to become an "anonymous coin"? For me this is not so important because d'uh I already have darkcoin being developed!
And pseudonimity would suffice for 90% of the stuff I'd want to do online.  Wink


I absolutely love the idea of offering people 1 wallet and nothing else and paraphrasing you as "The most SPREADABLE coin EVER!!" And like I have said before I know that Mr. Spread is very determined not too take on to much at a time and to make sure that things are working before he announces them to the community which is what a truly skillful and devoted developer should be concerned with.  I can only say that the community keeps coming out with more ideas on how to promote SpreadCoin to the masses and how to adopt new traders to join us in the SPREVOLUTION! This is our year people this is the year where "SPREADCOIN beats the SPREAD on every other altcoin!" Cheers

Forget masternodes... (doesn't requiremenet of 1000 DRK etc lead to just another form of centralization?)

What if EVERY SINGLE spreadcoin wallet would act as message node? For free?

IMHO, spreadcoin shouldn't even try to go for anonymous mixing methods and stuff... don't copy darkcoin.
Just do one thing only: spreading the sprevolution.
Let's concentrate on keeping the coin very solo-mineable and let's introduce an encrypted pseudoanonymous messaging service (pseudoanonymous as in: you don't know WHAT the message is, but you could probably find out to what address it was sent).

This is spreadcoin, it should not walk in the shadow of darkcoin.  Smiley
Masternodes don't create centralization, they provide additional functionality whether that be mixing or whatever Mr. Spread wants to implement.

I have a background in venture capital.  One of the most common mistakes startups make is trying to do too much too soon.  They spread themselves too thin and move away from what excited me about them in the first place.  Everyone wants to please their customers/investors/employees/grandma, so when they make suggestions, they often try to make those suggestions a reality.  The next thing you know, instead of having one thing they do extremely well, they have a bunch of things that suck.  It's my job after I invest to make sure this doesn't happen.

I'm not against the idea of an in-wallet messaging system.  It's an interesting idea, but I assure you, it's not going to make SPR a $xx,xxx,xxx++ coin.  Maybe it'll make it a mid to high $xxx,xxx coin, but that's about it.  When you have a developer like Mr. Spread, you want to go for the big hit.  That's why I always invest in devs first and foremost.  It's why I didn't sell a single Darkcoin until it hit 40 million market cap despite being an early adopter: I knew Evan Duffield was a fucking fantastic dev and just as important, he was sticking to his vision.

I suggested masternodes early in this thread for a variety of reasons and I'm excited that Mr. Spread is working to implement an improved version.  Once they're implemented, what direction he chooses to take will rest with him, but as a community, the suggestions we make should be to go for the big score.  Why not turn Spreadcoin into a billion dollar coin?  It has the lead dev necessary for it, so why not?  Sure, SPR can have in-wallet messaging, but in my opinion, those type of features should be developed by devs that join the team later on.  Have Mr. Spread work on the critical app side of Spreadcoin.  When I say critical app, I mean application of cryptocurrency that is going to make your grandma want to own and utilize Spreadcoin.  What is that?  I'm not sure.  But I do believe that Mr. Spread and this community have the potential to make it happen.

I've been working to find time to make a post about the business side of Spreadcoin that can help separate it from every other coin in the future.  I hope to do that later tonight or tomorrow.

Critical app + sound business acumen + good marketing + gung ho community = billion dollar coin.  

Someone has to.  Why not Spreadcoin?  


+1 and completely agree with you on this. Looking forward to seeing your post on the business side of SPR
I 100% agree with everything you just said good sir Smiley And I agree that as a community it is up to us to help promote and SPREAD the word and contribute our ideas to the project development as I know Mr. Spread likes to know what interests his community in his coin Smiley I also believe that the main factors and ideas should be left to the initial lead developer and other features could be worked on or implemented by other developers that may venture into this project.  All I know is like I said in a tweet earlier tonight "When Darkcoin community is starting to join the SpreadCoin community that can only mean one thing = Super Investment!!" I am so pleased that people are finally starting to take notice in this coin and I honestly think the sub 30k a coin is quickly becoming a thing of the past and the new floor is slowly being set Smiley Which is not the greatest thing for someone like me that has to buy all my SpreadCoin but it's all good because I know that any Spread I buy right now will easily fetch me 5X profit minimum in the long run.  So with all the scam coins and shit coins out there nowadays I urge everyone to invite all their friends to join the Spread community and offer up their ideas as to what they believe would make the perfect coin Smiley I also like the idea of making the mining more solo mineable by limiting people to only one wallet and making the GPU mining more obsolete Smiley Cheers

Message nodes is definitely an innovative idea.
I don't want to see SPR live in the shadow of DRK for long,that would be sad.
Diversity of features gives a coin identity.

Thank you sir.

If Mr. Spread wants to go the direction of anonymity after masternode implementation, I would certainly support that as the first team to implement an extremely clean anonymity solution is going to have a very valuable coin on their hands.  If he chooses to go another route towards a different sort of critical app, I'd support that as well, especially since your grandma probably doesn't care if the world knows that she's buying Depends off of Amazon with SPR.  

But P2P messaging and features along those lines?  That's a very specialized app, a far cry from a critical app.  And having Mr. Spread spend his time on something like that would be like having Beethoven write jingles for McDonalds commercials.  Let's create the space for Mr. Spread to write a symphony that will last the ages.

So would I, I am just thinking out loud, because it seems like Mr.Spread hasn't really made up his mind yet.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt, I am just an enthusiastic new investor.  Smiley

There is a reason why I like what Mr.Spread is doing, and it has NOTHING to do with darkcoin (except maybe parts of the source code).
It seems like Spreadcoin is being pushed into the role of becoming just another darkcoin clone... that's what I don't like.

We already have a masternode network...  Sad
It's THE masternode network.

If Mr.Spread continues to enhance the solo-mining experience of Spreadcoin while simultaneously implementing in-wallet features that work better than anything we have seen before, he IS a beethoven. Those are NOT trivial things at all, ...  Cheesy

If at a later point spreadcoin still has 100% compatibility with darkcoin, I say why not just add anonymity....
Sure... but something tells me that spreadcoin will need to be more or less 100% working like darkcoin for it to stay well compatible with ANY advanced anonymity features of darkcoin.
So again... what does this mean... spreadcoin should stive to just be a darkcoin clone?
Ridiculous.
