Except the gold coins in his pocket are the imaginary chocolate ones.

ShortBusCoin is like a box of chocolates, when exposed to light and heat, it melts.

Run Forrest, run.

Forum moderation of this board is still around?  Is the board just being ignored?  With recent lingering posts it seems as if civility has been thrown out the window all together... I mean seriously are we all allowed to start running around calling each other [for illustration purposes] "Gypsy goat fucking assholes who fuck their Jew mothers behind the $1 whore house" [for illustration purposes] or something?  Can those kinds of posts be wiped or censored at the very least?

These last few weeks have clearly demonstrated that forum moderation and cultivation of this community, and Bitcoin, are not priorities for the moderators.

It really has become disheartening how this place is turning to shit while management sits in their ivory towers and hides behind the cowardly shield of "we won't censor".

These are "the official" Bitcoin forums, and I'm calling out management on doing a fucking pathetic job.

Theymos needs to step down.

...SolidCoin is outpacing Bitcoin development...

...We likely aren't going to extend SolidCoin outside of being a transaction based carrier, and let people build other stuff on top of that network. This way it's easier for us to concentrate on what needs improving and other people can solve things using that simplicity.

Any plans for multisignature transactions, or will that be handled externally? Gavin had to shut down his escrow service when it conflicted with the plan for Bitcoin.

We're dropping the crappy "Script" engine we inherited from Bitcoin very soon. And that will handle multisig (and everything else) in a much faster and neater fashion. Personally I don't see that much excitement around multisig but some of the other developers think it is a must have.

You do know change is part of improving something right?


The biggest change that you could easily do to massively improve Solidcoin would be for you to never surface publicly again.

Want to know my secret for killing Solidcoin with 9 out of 10 people or places that look at it seriously? I simply have them look at the Solidcoin 2 Genesis Block and read for themselves the garbage you put in there.

It speaks volumes on your maturity level and state of mind.

Uh I think you mean the hash code right? The genesis block only contains a short sentence about the US recession. Just point them to the hash code in util.cpp as that contains the funny facts about artforz. Or point out the numerous source code comments containing swears!

I think we should be afraid of your secret weapon, because your past "Secret weapons" which were meant to destroy SC all failed. What's this your like 5th attempt at failing again? Didn't you say you had 5 million SolidCoins at one stage (when there was only 2 million available) ? Haha. Time to go dump the imaginary 5 million coins to crash the price eh, it's just doing too well at the moment.

Must really grind your goat to see us doing so well. Every post of yours talking about SolidCoin is like another gold coin in my pocket. Keep it coming!

The major failing of Solidcoin is you and it has been pointed out by your own inner group several times. Also there is no "We".... you decide what, when, where and how much for any reason you want.

No that's a major benefit and is one reason why SolidCoin is outpacing Bitcoin development. You can choose not to participate in SolidCoin , no one is forcing you, you know how our development model works currently. Don't like it, don't buy or mine SolidCoins.

I have the IRC logs from the convo where sp0tter was banned for bitching about that exact thing. You openly admitted you didn't feel it necessary to inform anyone about the implementation of the block reward reduction except for Ahimoth and that was only 5 minutes notice.

sp0tter was banned because he was trolling and posting a lot of off topic stuff. He also isn't banned anymore.

Those "Control Nodes" work like a charm at enforcement don't they?

The trusted nodes make it easier to implement changes currently, but that won't be the case always. This being said we won't need to keep implementing so many changes once we have a "very good working solution". There are still some things in the pipeline we want to optimize that will require further breaking changes. But this is only so we can scale to high levels of transactions on typical PC hardware.

We likely aren't going to extend SolidCoin outside of being a transaction based carrier, and let people build other stuff on top of that network. This way it's easier for us to concentrate on what needs improving and other people can solve things using that simplicity.

I'm having trouble reconciling this statement with... what ? You're on the 3rd major protocol-breaking rev of SolidCoin now since 2011 ?

Yes 3 major changes I guess you could say, and there have been more "minor" ones which were put in other versions. We aren't afraid to introduce protocol breaking changes. When SC1 was first released it was very much like Bitcoin with only some simple things changed around and new interface features.

It's like anything, once you start getting experience with the codebase and also the "economy" you start to realize the failings and work to improve them. That is what we will continue to do. Obviously some people don't like this, but no one is forcing them to use SolidCoin so I don't really get what their problem is. Fear perhaps.

In regards to how a true currency should operate I think mining costs should be somewhat relevant to the final profit, and that it shouldn't differ too greatly so that price can be stable. When talking to businesses about accepting SolidCoins they wanted some features in and this is what we are working towards. Being able to deliver stable prices and prices which have some relevance to the everyday people (ie 20-30 SC to buy some software instead of 351SC today, 290SC tomorrow, etc).

Yeah, you forgot he can actually code!

I think THAT goes without saying...

Unlike Bitcoin we don't want to support a protocol developed in 2009 when we have more knowledge on how a true p2p currency should work.

I calculated it out and as soon as SC2 increases in value 125 fold, I'm set to make some killer profits!

The sad part in all of this, is that Coinhunter and Sockies think they're actually fooling people LOL

The sad thing is that Coinhunter still thinks anyone gives a shit about his ... puh .. "illness". Nothing else would explain the paranoia he build up arround Artforz.

And Coinhunter there are many reasons why people here would rather believe Artforz than you. Just to bring up the most important reasons:
- He doesnt suffer from delusions of grandeur
- He is honest
- He doesnt, like you, steal code and infringe copyright (etc) and is therefore more trustable than a potential criminal

Shall we go on?

Having to release an entirely new version of cryptocurrency in order to apply changes to the protocol, releasing mandatory updates and changing the protocol every few weeks because you have absolutely no idea what you are doing doesn't mean you are a good coder, let alone a great one.

You do know change is part of improving something right? Unlike Bitcoin we don't want to support a protocol developed in 2009 when we have more knowledge on how a true p2p currency should work. People liking the fact Bitcoin will never change is fine, they can stick with Bitcoin. Smiley

And in regards to artforz it's just because he is wired that way. First with the spam attack on SolidCoin v1, then trying to preempt SolidCoin 2 with a fake CPU coin (tenebrix) because I said we would be moving to a CPU algorithm, then with the GPU SC miner he only used himself and with friends before mtrlt released his. The list goes on, this guy is involved in many "behind the back" dealings that we know of. Only he could tell you the stuff we don't know about, but the things we do know are pretty damning, in my opinion.

Of course on this forum you'll get people thinking he is a "legend" for attacking the "evil SolidCoin" and they're blind to everything else. So what can you do.

Also, what is with your obsession with Artforz? Your hashing algorithm has a direct personal attack against him and most, if not all of your baseless accusations involve him.

No... i do believe despite your own...limitedness of creativity.. you have people among your ranks who are creative enogh to think of such a plot..
So either the darkpool IS a botnet, or your guys have a superior miner they use for their own good (and not really helping SC..) or worst you are just making up a story to throw mud on a project that is threatening your petty copy&paste(+removing licences etc) project...


Have you ever done a "source diff" on SolidCoin and Bitcoin? Thousands of changes. Litecoin on the other hand even keeps the name "bitcoin" in many places because it makes pulling in patches "easier" for coblee and the others. You'd be lucky to find a 100 source differences in litecoin over bitcoin. SolidCoin has the best developers and smartest supporters, it is why we are outpacing Bitcoin development. Litecoin isn't a competitor to SolidCoin in my mind, we only have one and that is Bitcoin.

Artforz has publicly admitted to having a GPU miner of scrypt/Litecoin for many months. He has just said it was "Slow". So we can either believe his GPU miner of a hash he introduced was or is slow or the guy that managed to reverse engineer SolidCoin hash from a beta and make a GPU miner is indeed lying to us. You believe the former I'm guessing? The mystical artforz made an ultra slow (about 50x slower than mtrlt's) Litecoin miner? I doubt we will ever know the truth but if people want to believe artforz then that's up to them.

If it wasn't for talented people like mtrlt writing their own code to test such theories many people would still be saying Litecoin is a CPU coin, as would artforz who was doing that just a week ago on btc-e chat.
