Lol!!!! Dead coin!!!!! Community bleeding to death!!!!!! Fucking scammers!
That's all sorts of Bullshit. I have opinions but calling Mr. Spread a scammer, as of now, is the biggest pile of shit I can imagine. I have no idea why he hasn't communicated and at this point I don't care. This coin was started in July last year...and there is nothing here that makes me believe that this was a long con.
I lost more than a few BTC on this and I am okay with it - I never invest more than I can lose (and I am just below even here). But this wasn't a scam. Mr. Spread - for whatever reason he is not communicative - is a stout dev and actually has relevant code here. It's not scam code and the price isn't going anywhere without him so I am pretty sure that he isn't cashing out.
So...pretty much, kindly eff off with your less than rudimentary assessment of the situation...
Cheers...

Spread still has a great potential, it is the idea of improving crypto I like. It is not all about money. Mr. Spread will come back. In the mean time, are there programmers that can keep this project running?

I've thought that providing an API to make it dirt simple for 3rd parties to utilise the currency network would be a good idea.
Allow Angry Birds / Snapchat / fad-app-de-jour users to tip / spend / buy stuff from within their mobile app without the app developer having to write all their own code for this. This might prove very popular with app devs if they could tune their own cut...
They could use a SPR plugin and have it display the currency in sats (and call it AngryBirdPoop of SnapCredit or whatever they want), since nobody wants to tip someone 0.00000001 of anything, it sounds mean.
And I've posted previously about using Masternodes as an anonymous content delivery/comms system. Or a distributed VPN.

"retail adoption" is a notion almost every alt crypto sees as the holy grail
Yes, but I've yet to see evidence of any altcoin dev managing to achieve even a basic level of understanding of how to effectively pursue that path.
Well, one obvious exception that proves the rule, Jackson Palmer ... I'm always impressed by the sheer power of cognitive dissonance and how it prevents people from putting 2 and 2 together in the simplest fashion. Dogecoin is unique in having a senior marketing professional as co-developer. Dogecoin's adoption stats are uniquely standout. Of the tiny handful of people I've encountered in this domain who understand that these two facts are causally related, not one is a dev.

Yep. There are people here who will howl you down and scream at you like you've committed a cardinal sin by just the mention of the word "marketing". It's the "purest propeller head 'puter geeks" who think they have a technological answer to every aspect of the human condition that typically are almost completely ignorant of what makes people tick and how to effect change.
I don't know much about Dogecoin but you can't take away from their achievement even though technically it's a cryptocurrency that has almost no innovation or uniqueness.

I just feel bad for Georgem. Time and effort gone to waste if this anonymous dev doesn't return.
Why is that? He is one of the guys excited to pick it up and run with it.
Exactly.
Neither time nor effort has gone to waste.
In the contrary, I have never come so far before in understanding how a coin works.
For me, spreadcoin is like a constant exercise in true decentralization.
Having the main dev "do a satoshi" after he demonstrated a new paradigm is probably just the next iteration of that.
And now a group of people try to maintain and continue spreadcoin in a more decentralized manner.
Stay tuned.
Bravo to you
I do think that Mr. Spread will return though.What makes you say that?
I feel that Mr. Spread will return because he has made such a large commitment to the development of this currency, that it would just make no sense that he would disappear, just like that, no word, nothing.

I wonder if he is reading this?
unless...he has always been here.

If you can't see the long-term big picture than you have already wasted your time in the crypto world. We should never focus too much with where an idea is at, but where it will be in the future.
True.
But I think the essence of what coins101 is getting at (and that I've acknowledged) is that "retail adoption" is a notion almost every alt crypto sees as the holy grail yet the competitive landscape of such a realm is enormous beyond measure and there are hundreds of inhibitors and hurdles on that pathway whereas other types of adoption in far more niche and specialised areas are likely to be more readily achieved.
Which avenues would you consider to be the most important?
Master Nodes can do so many things. They are an endless pit of opportunities.
I like:
* Being able to predict the future outcome of things influenced by human behaviour. Crowdsourcing the likely outcome of an event would give SPR investors an edge over decision making they can invest / gamble against.
* I have a pet like for sourcing magnet links for torrents.
* Using Master Nodes to lock in and hold one to one, or one to many, or many to one bets, would be great.
* There is no reason why openbazaar couldn't run on Master Nodes. Might need Darksend to do that.

Well what we've experienced so far with Spreadcoin is a wallet and masternode combination that's far simpler and nimble to use by comparison with many other coins. If that "simple/nimble" style of operation can be maintained this could be extended into simple social media tipping, or simple integration of SPR into all manner of online value exchange (particularly online betting). And then the masternode network could be used to provide many other services that need rapid/instant transaction confirmation that might be well outside purely "purchase" with SPR of a good or service; rapid voting or rapid contract execution (such as in auctions, etc). There are many pathways.
This is where SPR's purpose and reason for being needs further work and further definition if it's to continue to NOT include Darksend as party of its feature set.

Oh please.
You need to be thinking about alternative uses. Forget about retail use. It ain't gonna happen.
How about a "pie in the sky" shop?
(Glad you said it coins....ridiculous to be talking retail at this point given where things are at)
