are there any services/tools planned already supporting this concept/coin ?

It is very good that info could be added to blockchain in very simple way (just bash script). So, for example, we need little bash script to get all magnet links from Pirate Bay and but all of them into blockchain (of course in multiple blocks), etc etc etc. No complex app is needed for that

How was this done in the coding? Any new script versions created?

Can you also send messages with this coin?

Thanks oocook5u. This is an idea whose time has come. A real use for cryptocurrencies.

Difficulty still near 8, and new blocks are being created much more slowly than ~12 hours ago. Seems that network stabilizes well.

Code:

rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
server=1

the point is its a flaw in the coin, people can do such a thing and by putting coins on an exchange/webwallet increases centralization

Just remember that it is not 'just coin', it is storage - look into OP post, he positions storage as main purpose of the coin. If you want to support decentralized storage - this coin is a good choice, because you can get some profit from giving for rent your HDD. What is another way to create decentralized storage except storing rather large pieces of data on independent computers?

@Gontxi : as I understood, you can use only OP miner now, and other miners for primecoin if you make some changes to them

Hmmmmm... i has trying to use cgminer Wink

No problem...

no way for cgminer, it is XPM algo used here

@ahmed_bodi:
and what is the purpose of such spamming? People without big HDDs can keep their money in online or exchange wallets. And people who have profit from this coin can simply buy HDD. If you spend $100 (0.2 BTC right now Tongue

) you can buy storage enough for 10 years.

it wouldnt be hard to produce a script to mass spam the blockchain with data to fill up people's hard drive's heck i could do it now just to prove my point

and what do you prove with that? OK, I have several servers, and several TBs won't be a problem (even on my home computer) - it will be enough for years. And many other people can dedicate several hundreds GB to this storage if they like the idea.

still a bad idea for the size of the blockchain

Why? I think that *500 GB per year* is very rough, and really it will be much smaller - 100-200 GB in first year. I think that it's not a big problem for 2-3 TB HDDs, and yes, remember that it is not just coin - it is storage.

Thats not the issue. The issue is that you are now in possession of illegal material.

It's hard to prove that. If you have file "1.jpg" which has illegal picture - it is "storing of content". But if you have blockchain with encrypted picture which could be picked from it only with help of special software... Uh, I can write a program, that will get 128 kilobytes of symbols from Windows system common files, and - bah! - it is illegal content! So ALL users of this Windows version can be blamed.

So this is basically torrents but instead of choosing which file you want to download, you have to download every single file?

Beyond stupid. Even more so once someone puts illegal content into the blockchain.

Not really like that, i guess more like a decentralised torrent hosting site, if combined with tor or something i guess impossible to shut off. I guess quite a lot of potential things can be done with it.

You don't think 513GB a year is an insane requirement? And what happens when someone puts kiddy porn in the blockchain? 128kb is plenty for a jpeg file.

This has bad idea written all over it.

agreed that it does have some costs to it, but those unsavoury types will always find away to distribute their material. Sometimes you can not write something off entirely because 0.00001% of the population will use it in a negative way. I think a lot of exciting applications for this are possible and could turn out to make a lot of headlines good and bad.

Thats not the issue. The issue is that you are now in possession of illegal material.

How long does it to take for a block to be confirmed?

Code:

    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "DDnspK5RAihi5ArZ3NZb5nLbX1QigBAohC",
        "category" : "immature",

        "time" : 1384767784,
        "timereceived" : 1384767784
    },

My balance shows 0. This is for all my found blocks.

3000 blocks. Yes, it is 'slow-maturing' coin (but not slow for transactions Tongue

)
