I3 didn't make this. It's like blaming satoshi for dogecoin.

in all fairness, dogecoin wouldn't exist without bitcoin, so dogecoin IS Satoshi's fault...

I dont understand  we had a POW coin from bitshare (I3) called ProtoShares (PTS)

which clearly has gone to shit ,
why create a new one

SAME SHIT STORY - new coin , change total limit , change block time , pump and dump

Did the snapshot for this happen?  If I own both PTS and BTS, how would I claim shares of sparkle?

Wait is this a ninja launch or something?Why is the thread so quiet?

Bitcoin meets BitShares. This can be HUGE!

Would love to see how this develops.
It's still in testing phase.

I see. So the official launch will be after the 14th December snapshot date I presume?

Yes.  We are testing now and paying miners now to motivate testing/hacking the system.  So far it has worked well and we have found several bugs.

If you are mining please upgrade to Alpha.6 soon because the test network is hard forking to fix an attack in the mining validation logic. 

can you already provide a windows binary?

PSA: Looks like alpha.5 is out as a new test run.

Bumping this.  Very interesting...20 second block times?  That is almost as fast as full DPOS chains' 5 second tx times...

Let's see if it can scale to Visa Level transaction volumes like BitShares can.  If so, it is a real competitor.

The issue is that with anything POW, every miner has to duplicate all of the transaction processing, so if it scales to VISA levels, then the cost of verification is basically equal to VISA's operating expenses times the number of miners.

Don't get me wrong, I think this has potential, but I think scaling anything based on proof of work to VISA levels will be prohibitively expensive unless it's centralized into just one or two mining pools.

CPU ?GPU?

Read the thread!

This is important!

MINING HAS NOW STARTED!!!


https://github.com/sparkle5/Sparkle/releases/tag/alpha.1

Download the client...  to enable mining go to console and type"

"wallet_enable_mining account_to_mine_with true"

Once you have enough connections your computer will start mining.

As Bytemaster suggested I will honor all mined blocks from the test network in the real network genesis block.



No windows wallet?
Need CPU hash or GPU hash?

It's CPU for the moment, and I don't think there's a Windows executable released.
