Sold, and welcome to the new global elite (...of underpants gnomes). Please post an ATC address and I'll go first.

I'll get myself set up on the WoT this weekend, just in case my altcoin trades are deemed worthy of a rating by anyone in the WoT.

Edit: added image and link in case anyone doesn't get it.

WTB 30,000 Altcoins at 150 satoshis per.

I submitted a request for block to add Altcoin. Maybe a few more of you should too!

Send to 1MPGRCrbib3aFGtTCLF5nADZcLEAgdTu7E and publish your addy.

MPOE-PR, I have not forgotten you! I'll sell you 500K of my new hoard for your 125 bid, send me an ATC address and I'll go first (once my confirmations are all in and I've finished paying HunterS). If you can do 130 satoshis to avoid setting the entire ATC economy back by 5 satoshis, I'd be much obliged. But up to you.

Given how hard it is to mine new ATC for the next two weeks at least, I hope I won't be selling this low again. Except for tonight's pizza buy, of course.

Yes it sure was... why can't we all just agree to live in one time zone and leave the rest of the planet to the more charismatic megafauna?

Anyway, we're both awake now and This Is Happening. It's turned into Lesson Four: How Confirmations Work.
 
We're doing it in 4 quarters, and I went first. So I'm sitting there staring at the wallet software on one screen, wondering (like any *coin noob) why the transaction doesn't even have a single confirmation yet. It's been like 5 minutes, WTF? Is it a double spend? Did all the miners go away? Who is this HunterS anyway? That was a lot of money for a joke coin with no source code, you dipstick...

You know, classic "Oh crap" panic after sending out BTC and waiting for the whole counterparty risk bit to be over with. Meanwhile I have bfgminer running on the other screen, and nothing much happening there. New blocks have slowed way down since the diff change (because that's the whole point of a diff change).

And somewhere in my lizard brain there's that panic moment, that something's wrong, blocks are too slow AND confirmations are too slow, what are the odds of that happening at the same-- DING! Bfgminer shows a new block discovered on the network at the exact same moment as the wallet software shows its first confirmation.

(Insert Sudden Clarity Clarence meme image here.)

Of course I know how blocks and confirmations work, whatamistupid? I've read it plenty of times. I've bought/sold/traded plenty. But seeing the stuff I take for granted in Bitcoin happen on a small chain right in front of me... priceless.

Every Comp Sci professor who wants to teach how cryptocurrencies work should start an alt for their class, have them all set up with wallets and mining software and watch it run for the whole semester.

And you don't need a Comp Sci professor to do it. Just download altcoin!

Port is 9336, and 9335 is RPC.

The new version does not need the addnode= config entry.
Anyone with a fixed IP willing to be an additional seed node?

Excellent! The first hurdle cleared!

Now we need a pool (maybe p2pool) and then finally get them trading on an exchange. After that, the destruction of the false altcoins can commence.

Logically, altcoins. Because each part of an altcoin is equal to the whole.

Fight the fight, sing the song.
