That sounds like a Dr. Seuss line.


With regards to the coin, I doubt anything will ever come of Tecoin.

Sorry to  be so late about this but health and work tied me up and pinned me down.  Still a little out of it but that could be a good thing, for ideas, maybe.  Because thunk I have!  I was thinking and thinking, and then I thinked some more until I was all thunked out.  But I believe I just might have thunk an idea or two, maybe.

I got into crypto because I saw in it the perfect vehicle for selling, or rather capitalizing on my photography.  I figured by now tipping apps on Flickr and 500px would be feeding me a stream of nickels and dimes, fractions of pennies.  Unfortunately... 

So what I thought about was ingredients, not the recipe.  What if the pictures are part of the blockchain somehow, and mining gets keys for decrypting the pictures.  As an artist, one of the hardest things to do is to put a number value, a price on some work.  Really, I find it excruciating.  Is there some way this can be foisted off on the buyers/viewers?  Sorry, but I don't have much more than a yearning to get my stuff out there, to turn this into a distribution system somehow. 

I guess I should show off a bit of my stuff eh?

I'm really sad. I mined Tecoin all the Mondays. Please, can't you continue ?

So. There comes a time in every coin's life where it thinks to itself "does anyone really care about me?" Answer: no. We'll see how people react to this. I might just scrap the whole "take over Tecoin" thing, and just go work on a brand new coin (I don't it was too good of an idea taking over a coin that had no interest whatsoever). Server comes due on Monday, and I don't think I'm going to renew it. Let's face it: there's been little to no interest in Tecoin over the past few weeks.

I'd like to create something that's actually unique. Not something that's basically a complete clone of Heavycoin. I know I'm going to get a shitton of hate for letting Tecoin die, which my soul purpose was to NOT let it die, but, all good things must end.

What will I be doing? Well, I'll be working on the new coin for the next couple weeks. That's basically it. Like I've said in the past, I love developing things. Just not taking over development. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'm still here.

What should you do, now? Sell your coins. That's basically it.

You lost me there

Exactly.  So what else can it be?  Can we make a game of it?  I know that sitting here trying to just crowbar the latest Killer App out of of our brains isn't easy, but perhaps if we start with most basic properties we can see something new.  I originally got into crypto because I saw Dogecoin poising itself to be a social media tipping platform, and thus a way to earn micro-payments on my photography.  Is there some way it could be made to be more friendly with that environment?  Unfortunately it has been a VERY long time since I've done any coding.  How long?  Well, the last full application I wrote was in Autocad Lisp... on Acad 12... the first Windows version of Autocad.  I somehow don't think that my fluency in 6502 machine language is going to be helpful.

On a side-note I just gotta say... working in a 64K environment teaches you to be TIGHT!!!  I look at ANY wallet software and wonder why it isn't under 16K.  I look at any software and wonder why it isn't a fraction of the size.  I blame it all on these newfangled MULT and DIV op-codes.  Made kids Lazy and it's been downhill ever since!  Raggafragginsagafragin...

Uh... ok. From what I can understand, you're talking about the usefulness - or lack of - of Bitcoin and alts. I'd love to see the coins have mass-adoption. But, for now...

Also, thanks for the support

Yeah, me again.  I tossed a few bucks on there and have been bouncing a few trades around. Scooping up a few coins and giving the impression establishing a bit of a base-line.  Figured, its there, may as well have one.  I find the crypto scene with it's "pinball score" numbers quite amusing.  Wow!  200,000 something or others!  Um... It's a dime.

Anyways, gonna use the last of my consciousness tonight on a few thoughts.  Coinage... Really?  Not yet by a long shot.  Can't buy a beer at the local with the biggest and the best, Bitcoin, so what does it say about all these... things, for that's what I'll call them.  The only reason we think of this 'thing' as coin is because the first one was, and all the others are, but what is it really and what can we do with it?  I'm quite good at re-purposing things.  Seeing them for what they are and finding ways to use them.  Example... I've stripped down dozens of VCR's because their motors have almost friction-less bearings, and they're great for things like swivel mounts for monitors, or the base for my motorized telescope mount.  That's just the start.  You should really see my place, because it's fairly mad.  I live in the upstairs of a renovated barn, so there's no vertical walls.  High ceilings means space for mounting things, second floor door features a drawbridge to the deck, with a trap-door in it to haul wood up.  And so on.  So let's look at what this "thing' is, the block-chain, list its core properties and really THINK about what can be done with it.  Because unless I can grab a beer at the local with it, it sure ain't coinage.

How do you deal with your lions and dragons?  I nail mine to the ceiling.

TO THE MOON! Price up nearly 400% since yesterday!

And there's no dumping! That's absolutely awesome guys!

Just saw the network spike up to 750 Mh/s! You guys are really mining away!

When he first hopped on the pool, it was about half a gigahash. Not bad

Looks nice!

BLOCK EXPLORER IS UP!

http://gameofbit.com/

Bit of an update on the explorer, it's nearly ready! Should be out later tonight!

I'm back and will have a few ideas to discuss with you once I've had a rest-up and got a few things done.  Good to see you've found a bit of hash lying around.  Always good, whatever kind of hash.

I'm sorry but I've really gotta free up my rig.  I'll try to keep one card going but can't promise anything.  Sorry.

Go ahead and quote!

Seems there is. 

I'm mining it and I get tons of coins ! Why are we only two to mine it ?

Alright cool. I've done the settings.json file that needs to be placed in the explorer's root directory, I have changed most of the required settings and added a few comments for what still needs changing. You need to ensure you have started  the daemon with txindex=1 added to tecoin.conf. If you havent already done this then you will need to add it in and then run the wallet with the -reindex command.
