Hey so scince we all agreed that Solidcoin is basically dead, and someone please give my Internet buddy(won't mention names) a couple of valid reasons why Solid coin is dead and their is no future?
Even after everything that happened he thinks its for the "Good" of solid coin economy, something about finding a bitcoin client flaw in solidcoin client? IDK maybe someone could clear this claim up?
Well, the reason it was attacked in SolidCoin and not Bitcoin is because doing it in Bitcoin would have -REQUIRED- a very large sum of money as a fee and an attacker couldn't do it repeatedly without running out of money.
Due to one of CoinHunter's coding errors, doing it to SolidCoin cost pretty much nothing.
Now, alongside this, another bug was found. Exploiting the bug in SolidCoin is easy. Exploiting it in Bitcoin is harder, but now the bitcoin devs will handle it. CoinHunter, however, will not: because for his repeated 'important updates' that bug is still there, and the latest, greatest, closed-source stolen client from CoinHunter still has the problem.
Everything that's happened helps Bitcoin. Bitcoin gets to learn from the mistakes. CoinHunter took code he didn't understand, broke it, ArtForz found an incidental bug as a result, and Bitcoin will benefit, but SolidCoin will not, because CoinHunter hasn't been able to figure out a solution -- other than just making SolidCoin be more like Bitcoin and giving up some of his precious "important" features about why SolidCoin is "better" than Bitcoin.
