At least the hashrate on the pool is rising and I get more new miners..  Seems interest is, at least, still there... 

If Mr. Spread never shows up i'm going to write a children's book called: Where did Mr. Spread go? and it will have all kinds of crazy stories about what happened to him.

Then maybe he is not done. 

I agree. If I were him I would have sold off all of it the moment I decided I was done.

Abandonning the coin without first selling all your coins before the crash is not rational. Some of his wallet are still full of spr

Unless he has social anxiety lol

Actually, I've purchased 90% of my SPR since he left or went on holiday.

And it looks like there is a team picking up the project and continuing with development

Hey, this could be good for DRK too, right

You guys seriously trying to explain his absence or it it just denial phase?
I think you don't really believe in everything you say here. Dev left and abandoned you. He would have said he is going for a holiday or something and will be offline for a few days. He obviously knew it would crash the price.
It does not fucking matter if he is chinese or from Uruguay. If he still cared about this coin he would have said something long time ago. Wake up.

I have been doing some numbers and I think that the SPR price target should be $5m over the next 12 months.

Clearly this is not going to just happen.  It will require some coordinated work and it requires Master Nodes, IX and more than likely SPRs version of Darksend.

It will also require some coordinated thinking on products and services to run off Master Nodes.

That could mean that every SPR currently valued at $0.017, could be worth between $3-$5.

As a side note (there is a pun there, wait for it), sidechains (there you go) look like they could be DOA. 

You see moving BTC to and from the blockchain might create a taxable event. Without clear direction from tax authorities, sidechains can't function particularly well on a practical level. Sidechains are required to overcome some practical problems with BTC. Problems that Master Nodes can handle.

The first cousin of DRK could be epic.

RIP SPR

All those posting on spreadcointalk.

Do you think it is better to post here?

Maybe spreadcointalk and IRC can be used just for testing and creating some static pages for mining guides, or technical FAQs.

I know its a great place to be to avoid FUD and trolling, but activity and momentum here is pretty important for the next few months.

IMO

Having slept on it, I think the maintenance side of things is the problem.

Capital expenditure on the upfront work is fine, but it's enhancement and development work that's the issue.

Plus, you don't really seem keen to spend the time on it.

I think that the drop in SPR price is an issue to your miner. If the price goes up you seem to do very well out of SPR. About 2BTC/month if my memory is right. That's with SPR at $100k.  SPR at $2m would see you do very, very, well  for no extra effort

If you can help out with the testing, I'm sure the new dev team would appreciate it, as would the silent bag holders.

Dear boy, it's like you reached into my head and had a little look inside.

I was just thinking the same thing. Road map.

Actually, I was thinking that Plan B (which could become Plan A, if MrSPR wants an easier life), is to produce a Darkcoin clone. That way, the dev team can focus on creating something wonderfully spectacular from Master Nodes. First approached here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10560012

A while back, Evan made the correct decision to focus on Darkcoin as a currency that could be deployed on all platforms, but with a particular focus on mobile.

Why try to compete with that?

Lets see a real life Harvard MBA type case study to push the point:

WhatsApp didn't create a new infrastructure. It created a new service on top of an existing infrastructure, Apps, in order to compete against mobile network operators.

Lets see and compare the result:

* WhatsApp, started in 2009, sold to Facebook for $19bn (employed less than 100, I think, at the time of sale)
* EE, the UK's largest mobile telephone infrastructure provider, founded through decades of serial acquisitions, about to be purchased by BT for $19bn (employs around 15,000 people).

You see, the infrastructure is great and all that, and I think the line of thinking to focus on solo mining plus the odd pool should continue, but it's the service or product that generates the most profit.

You just have to focus on getting the right service or product to run off the Master Nodes.

The fact that SPR has started down the road of competing with Darkcoin is actually a good thing for both DRK and SPR.

DRK doesn't want to do other stuff with master nodes, at the moment, that don't revolve around currency, or eCash, whereas SPR can focus on other things while benefiting from DRK's open source code (unless MrSPR returns, or contributes under a different guise).

The opportunity here is not that the dev is on holiday. The opportunity here is to look at the project from a different angel.

As a DRK bag holder, I can tell you I was seriously deflated by the decision to focus entirely on eCash and not other things that Master Nodes could do. I 100% agreed with their decision to focus on eCash.  I helped contribute to that decision. But the prospect of having to wait another year or two to get additional services into Master Nodes was nevertheless disappointing.

So, maybe SPR can take on that challenge and instead of being a direct competitor to DRK it can be an opportunity for both projects.

Is this feature only available on Blockchain.info ? or other wallets do support it also .

Well, maybe this would be a good thing.

However, Georgem has been doing quite a lot of good work over on spreadcointalk. Maybe coordinate with those guys, preferably here, so everyone starts getting a feel for whose doing what.

A bit of organisation, a crowd sourced road map, I'll start it and call it a business plan, some effort by code contributors and we'll be up and running in no time.

This is a good time to accumulate some SPR to build your first master node on mainnet 

The guy is on Chinese New Year holiday. He hasn't had one for 6 months.

He was even posting on Christmas day:


At the moment, this is the only thing that makes sense. Plus, I think he lives in Europe and is travelling to China to visit family.

Exactly. I think early on he didn't use one because I specifically remember thinking to myself
"Oh he's Chinese? Wow I never suspected that."

He probably used a proxy or VPN. EDIT: Was his IP the same or at least from same country each time?

Doesn't metter from where he is China or not he has done a lot for this coin and he will continue his work i'm sure so who don't belive that can sells their coins and move to another

So I guess he actually isn't from China?
