Way to go east!
Sadly, the network is in a bit of a mess at the moment.
Hiro missed a trick with the hardfork, shoulda changed the pchMessageStart string which was fumbled by the original Karmacoin “dev”. A whole bunch of lacklustre devs have generated alts with that same pchMessageStart string - despite it being documented as supposedly a unique identifier
Reddcoin:
https://github.com/reddcoin-project/reddcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L3618 unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // Reddcoin: increase each by adding 2 to bitcoin's value.
(Reddcoin predates Karma, it's Karma dev's error to use the same string.)
Karma -
https://github.com/karmateam/karma/blob/master-0.8/src/main.cpp#L3298unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // Karma: increase each by adding 2 to bitcoin's value.
Worldcoin -
https://github.com/coinkeeper/2015-06-22_19-19_worldcoin/blob/dev-0.8/src/main.cpp#L3155unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb }; // Worldcoin: increase each by adding 2 to worldcoin's value.
This is why there is an entertainingly wide variety of sub-versions appearing in the block explorer's listing
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/karm/#!network
All those 73 “/Satoshi:0.10.2.2/” clients are nothing at all to do with Karma, they're clients for another coin. The “/Satoshi:0.8.6.5/” looks plausible but again, Karma could just be sharing a pchMessageStart
and a version string with yet another coin.
/Satoshi:0.10.2.2/
/Satoshi:0.8.6.5/
/Hashtoshi:0.8.6.4/
/Satoshi:0.8.7.5/
/Satoshi:0.8.7.4/
/Satoshi:0.8.6.2/
/Satoshi:0.8.6.1/
Dain 0.0.1
/Satoshi:0.8.5.1/
/Satoshi:0.8.6.2/
/Christiaan Huygens:1.2.0.4/
/DigitalcoinV3.0:3.0.1/
/Reddcoin:1.4.0/
The current state of play --- anything other than a Satoshi 0.8.6.5 subver on protocol version 70006 is almost certainly not a Karma node.
