Alright, everyone keeps arguing about whether RuCoin can resist 51% attack. I say it can and that it is the ONLY coin which is resistant to 51% attack.

I am making this thread to find out how much it will cost to commission luke-jr to "test" this chain and to find people interested in donating to the total cost of having the chain tested.

Let's do this...

How are you going to pay someone to run these tests when you haven't even got the funds to pay back tiny loans you took out months ago?

Hey dumbass,

Provide the source code that proves 51% immunity for RUC and I will shut up.

That is if the code is reviewed by myself and the community and the consensus is that RUC is in fact immune to such attacks.

Otherwise STFU.

This the best I've got. It's not entirely current and I'm not a software developer so i have no idea if the defense code stuff is in there. Have fun: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6asx7l

i'd be up for giving a go at doing a 51% attack...purely out of interest in knowing "how to 51% attack a chain" and i see it as a side bonus that Rucoin is wanting to be tested at being 51% attacked (please note i support nearly all the alt-currencies and I not doing this out of spite for Rucoin, but in testing what the community has asked for, and chance to gain some more knowledge on what is involved in a 51% attack)

but i can only do this if
1) rucoin is mineable on BFL ASICs,
2) when i get my ASIC!!
3) if the reward is high enough so as not to loose out on too much BTC from not mining
4) I suppose i should say as well if 60Ghash will be enough to kill perform the 51% attack

I would prefer gpu testing over asic's because the disbelievers will argue that someone with a substantial gpu hashrate could switch back and forth between the sha256d and scrypt algorithms when the network goes into defensive mode. I need someone who will be capable of testing with both algos as RuCoin uses both and it seems to be a key part of it's defense strategy.
