did you make a twitter yet?

someone inbox "logocreator" and link him to this thread.


Ok ill chip in 20k DETH
and 1.25L pledged 150k DETH

can we get a graphic/logo comp going on or somthing @dev i will chip in for bounty

thanks for the update hope to hear more very soon

thanks to the update. been mining since the start, quite a bit of action in bittrex irc about this coin. all looking good.

and cheers to the nubs who keep attempting to fud by saying its a clone of blah blah.. yep all coins are cloned somewhere. get over it

Ignorance, inexperience, carelessness; perhaps all three (I’m a cognitive psychologist by discipline and I have an interest in cognitive error, so I can provide chapter and verse if required).

The regular expression (aka “regex”) syntax allows for searches to be confined to separable words (too greedy a match and you can end up replacing a lot more than you bargained for). In this instance the ‘m’ and ‘μ’ prefixes create distinct non-matching words which defeats this regex matching strategy.

There will be other characteristic errors, faithfully preserved by unaware devs all the way down the chain, typically where the program abstraction runs a little thin and the specificity of the “Bitcoin” brand name intrudes and defeats a simple regex approach.

One classic example of this is parseBitcoinURI in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L186:


The above routine replaces “bitcoin://” in the URL with “bitcoin:” or “starting at 0, nuke the next 10 characters in the URL and replace them with the string ‘bitcoin:’” i.e. remove the forward slashes.

The number 10 in the call uri.replace(0, 10, "bitcoin:") is specific to the length of the specific string “bitcoin://”. If we were working with a hypothetical clone coin called “DarkBlackCoin”, the following simplistic replacement would result in correct syntax but incorrect programme semantics:

uri.replace(0, 10, "darkblackcoin:")

because:


To make the intended replacement, the correct invocation would have to be:

uri.replace(0, 16, "darkblackcoin:").

S’not exactly rocket surgery, as you can see.

I can’t recall where I first saw the general solution (perhaps it originated from coingen, they would have needed to get it right) but there is one that is a bit more robust in the face of regex-driven rebranding and which will better preserve the program semantics:

uri.replace(0, std::string("darkblackcoin//:").length(), "darkblackcoin:")


The darkether code is correct (https://github.com/darkether/darkether/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L132),

uri.replace(0, 12, "darkether:");


I suspect that the darkether dev lucked out, benefiting from bitpop’s error (https://github.com/BitpopCoin/BitpopCoin/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L132):

uri.replace(0, 12, "BitpopCoin:");


it's a common problem, the Nebuchadnezzar dev not so lucky (https://github.com/theclaymanim/thepropechy/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L132)

uri.replace(0, 12, "nebuchadnezzar:");

What you are calling fud are actual facts.  This is nothing more than another crap coin and you know it. 

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you all are happy and full of good food.

I have good news, our website should be online in a few hours. He says he is the making final touches and tests of the applications. One thing I hope you understand is the coin is the base of this project, but there is much more to it. I hope it makes more sense when more info is released.

I have an inbox full of messages. I will reply to them in order, but may take a little while. I would like to address the FUD also, but I need to get translated better so I will not be misunderstood in what I am saying.

i have a hunch that its the same developer as crave and same pump team, 2 out of the 12 peer nodes i have saved from old logs are identical, plus ive reviewed the code, and the coding style is particularly matching.

old codebase or not, still an awsome buy, plenty of coins run old codebases.


hmm. i know whats coming next. you literally cant buy any.

cant wait for the dev to come back online

wait till america wakes up! 

heaps of volume buy books filling up moon time

yep i think so

seems like a bit of pro fud there

You might wish to consider extending the range of inspected coins that you bring to bear.

The rather tragic heritage of this coin is explicitly laid out in, of all places, https://github.com/darkether/darkether/blob/master/COPYING (you couldn't make it up). ...

bitpopcoin was abandoned by bitpop and he welcomed re-use of the bitpopcoin source: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/abandoned-bpc-bitpopcoin-x11-pos-7-hero-member-dev-no-ipopremine-665896 but I doubt his vision stretched this far.

The heritage is “tragic” (or tragi-comic depending on the degree of your Bitcoin monotheism) because hackcoin was a opportunistic hybrid launched over a year ago that combines elements of blackcoin, darkcoin and novacoin. It was promptly filched by infamous serial crapcoin dev Carsen Keck to form the codebase for Dreamcoin and from there diffused into a bunch of other alts (apparently including  shrms, arch and nebuchadnezzar, hence their appearance in xadsa418’s analysis).

In this particular instance, the reconfiguration fron bitpopcoin is minimal, so much so that after “harmonising” irrelevant differences (e.g. nullifying pure branding differences, project build and repos admin config differences) a straightforward diff reveals the full extent of the changes to the (June 2014) codebase:

http://pastebin.com/FFTS2FFB



The hackcoin codebase which was cloned for bitpopcoin was already obsolete when hackcoin itself was launched; by that time Dogecoin had already migrated to Bitcoin Core 0.9.

I have yet to hallucinate any positive rationale for launching a new altcoin using such an elderly codebase and features. I can’t imagine that it’s the kind of heritage that is likely to provide much support for an inspiring development roadmap.

is the dev coming back ?? risky

hmm i dont really have time for this project

yeah good choice

you all should contact cisahasa    for the community take over, looks like you're going to need it
