Let a dead coin alone please~ 

Hi, guys! and girls

Am trying to recreate/restore spreadcoin.net content, will be needing some assistance.

Would anyone have a screenshot (snapshot) of the website, just to get the coloring of components right ?

I was able to get some text of google's cached version of the website.

Would anyone have a copy of SpreadCoin-WhitePaper.pdf and binary files of wallets for supported operating systems?

That's it for the moment.

p.s. reading the last 100 posts creates a quiet accurate idea of who is a part of the team, and who may be not.

Let god bless us - Spreadcoiners!


Totally agree!

I think I like this idea, too:

Spread Black Jack.

Instead of, or maybe as well as, betting on 21 or the one that gets closest to 21- why not do a spread bet around 21?

I saw someone already made a Black Jack game to run on SPR master nodes. It should be relatively painless to add the ability to place bets based on each point away from 21, either way.

Let's see if this works:

* 21 =win, winner collects the pot, plus $1 (or whatever they wage on the spread) from everyone who lost, but the loser pays $1 x the number of points away from 21.

Lets say loser gets:

* 18. Winner collects 3*$1
* 15. Winner collects 6*$1
* 24. Winner collects 3*$1 x 2 (for the bust)

Applies to all losers. So the winner could win the pot, plus a spread from every loser - where every loser has their own spread loss.


Maybe - highest score, just wins the pot and the spread bet is just applied to 21.

I just updated the above and added T&Cs for a royalty payment

A noop question, is it possible for the mainnet to accept hash with 1/log (x) function? This way we can favor solo mining and discourage pool. Private miners that generate higher hashes also will not gain much advantage.

Indeed. So that would be just another 10 days.

I think we need to wait 30 days after Mr. Spreads disappearance then create a new thread. That gives him a month to make his choice.

"They contend that Internet giants like Facebook Inc. and Google Inc. are profiting handsomely at their expense. The Internet companies offer apps that let users circumvent network operators to make phone calls and send text messages free. They also cash in on the traffic for their ads.

The telecom operators say this strategy upends the economics that make investing in Internet infrastructure viable."

Like I was saying, once you have built a platform, its the applications that run on that platform that matter over the longer-term.

Building a coin that does this or that is ok, but if you can also build a platform to run decentralised applications on - well, then you win.

All the applications that run on the mobile network are worth 10x more than the value of all the network operators that run the infrastructure.

Apps not hardware is what creates value and profit over the longer-term.

That means that master nodes will provide the infrastructure, but its the apps that run on those master nodes that will drive the profit for this project.

Nice.

I don't know, but the mods here have a reputation of not being very cooperative.

Best thing would be if they lock this thread, yes. But they will probably not even do that.
So we might need your posting powers once the new thread is up, so that the old one disappears into irrelevance and nothingness.  

I'll be around for longer than a few months.

If everyone else is ok with it, then we can create a new thread and ask the mods to lock this one after 'x' period of time? Or, can we ask them to hide Mr.Spreads email and change control of the thread?

I didn't tell you before, but I am glad you are here.  
I also like the support I see coming from gjhiggins.
I promise you that you will not regret it if you stay around a few months.
(PS we might change the thread though and start a new one, since this has still Mr.Spread written all over it, and dead links wherever you look)

+1

The moment Master Nodes are off the agenda, I'm also off. Other than that, I'll give the project as much support as possible.

Georgem already knows the level of dedication to the cause that I am capable of:

Fair comment. I have the advantage of being a code contributor, so was on nodding terms with Mr Spread. Not that it gives me any better view, just more data to work with and that gets reflected in my personal narrative and, in turn, my writing.

My perspective is that the community has lost a key team member. But that's the extent of it, the existing community of SPR app users survives. This is why p2p was designed to be resilient, after all. It's a bit of a trope but collectively surmounting this kind of setback is supposed to “build character”, time will tell I s'pose.

Yes trolls suck.

Good find.  Though I still don't think it's as clear cut as you make it sound even though their dev says "both independently implemented their own versions of non-outsourceable cryptopuzzles".  The blog post mentions testing, I'm not sure how ziftr could have tested and come to the conclusions they found without a testing network.  Either way I think it's cool and proof of knowledge sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to see how it performs in the real world.  I don't think 5% bonus is enough for the small miner to offset the small variance pools offer. Anyway like I said good find.  I'm looking forward to see how S2M differs from spr, maybe spr can use some of theirs and vice versa.  I'd say I'm 50/50 now.

Well, his post is actually too garbled to allow a canonical parsing but it exposed him as a trolling sockmuppet.

As regards to ziftrCOIN, hallucinating conspiracy shapes in the clouds is mildly entertaining, especially when reality is quite so prosaic:

Always private miner that is purpose using new different algorithm  have advantage over others is point

Hello, I was wondering, is this coing still worth mining, how mutch can one r9 270x earn in about 10 hours? 

This is an awesome community.

The defense (edit: whoops, i mean plaintiff) also has to prove they lost business because of the statement, very tough to do. So I think he's safe. I think he's just having fun anyway. It wouldn't be good PR for zftr to go after anybody and I'm sure they've got bigger fish to fry.

I don't think that's fraud, just being deceitful. I dont think this fraud either but after reading this blog post twice

http://blog.ziftr.com/goodbye-sign-to-mine-hello-proof-of-knowledge/

the more it sounds like spr was a test for this coin. If not a test coin then they certainly followed spr's progress. Their conclusions regarding "sign to mine" mirror exactly what happened with spread, whales only being to mine, trusted pools etc.  The timing of this post Feb 25 is pretty suspicious too. Isn't that around the time Mr spread disappeared?  Once their conclusion regarding sign to mine was reached there's no more need for spread. There's no mention of masternodes in ziftr (that I can find) but they would be stupid to not implement those.

But why wouldn't they just keep on developing spread, change it to proof of knowledge and change the name to match their company.

In the post they say they are going to release the code for sign to mine and if it matches spr, I guess we know what happened to Mr spread.  If they retract,  well I guess we know what happened to Mr spread. They could sufficiently change it and release it I guess but I bet there are some pretty good code detectives here. Looks like this is their github https://github.com/Ziftr

Read the blog post, maybe its just the conspiracy theorist in me but then again the timing and conclusions are just uncanny.
