He just asked if your the SolidCoin guy, nothing else! He didnt ask for ur Realname, Age, Creditcard or whatever!
The denial to talk about the relation of you and RealSolid just prooves that you are it (simple logic!). Someone would only deny this if he knows his Name/Others would be known trough RealSolid. Therefore u just proved that u are RealSolid.

After all i dont care about who you are, all i want to tell you is: there is no reason to hide this! hiding it just makes PPCoin more shady. Be a man and stand for ur mistakes!

Exactly, using simple logic we can show that Sunny King is probably Real Solid. Case closed. The prosecution rests. You only live once.

PS At the moment I do not wish to answer questions related to my identity/privacy. So I will ignore all such questions for now.

Are you suggesting that the developers of a cryptocurrency should be compared to politicians?

wtf bro, you brought it up

Quote

The minting rate is biased towards early adopter profits. However, AFAIK that's a necessity, since it provides an incentive to invest into mining infrastructure at an accelerated rate. The public good aspect is not related to the wealth transfer in bootstrapping the currency, but to it's sustained features.

It isn't just biased towards early adopter profits, it's biased against a well-functioning currency. Deflation is stupid, especially at the insane levels required for the bitcoin-ilk to achieve any remote amount of currency market share. It is too early to tell and I'm not about to spend time reading the PPC code or envisioning future scenarios for it, but it seems like it will be even more early-adopter heavy than bitcoin.

Quote

Which also reminds me of one of the fundamental problems of cryptocurrencies which still has to be resolved. The reward system does not have incentives for cryptocurrency maintenance and improvement. The only incentive developers have is to implicitly benefit from the super-early adopter advantage and hold on to those shares until the cryptocurrency has matured and they can simply act benevolently. However, that doesn't protect the currency from being abandoned by the core developers (pump&dump).

Tying the cost to produce something more than just supply and demand would be a start. :cough decrits: Tongue

Please know that a perfect system for freedom of speech actually obligates anonymity. E.g. elections in democratic societies are anonymous.

Uhh the people may cast a vote anonymously, but they are still registered, and the politicians certainly aren't anonymous.

Now with the development of a public good, like a software infrastructure, the creator only has the obligation to release enough information for things to get peer reviewed. And by being open source, ppcoin also has full filled that requirement.

Whatever, this is just a rationalization. I'm not saying it's a requirement to be known, but the fact that every single "leader" of these crypto knock offs have chosen to be anonymous (except coblee, I think), and it's no coincidence that every single knock off is a pyramid just like the original. Quite debatable that it is a public good, after all, when there is so much potential wealth transfer to be had.

I think they tried to fix this with devcoin.

Well....Sunny King is no Satoshi Nakamoto. Wink

But I suspect not a RealSolid either.

1. Sunny King appears to be more than one person. Go over Sunny's posts and you'll see no less than 2, and IIRC, at least 3 different writing styles. (satoshi is widely suspected to have been a group of people, but had one clear voice in public, the writing is the same throughout satoshi's posts)

2. I've have some discussions with RealSolid, and sunny Kin is nowhere near as butthurt about bitcoin. I've not seen Sunny suggest that any of his detractors are members of the "bitcoin church" or any other stupid solid crap like that.

(would you people quit quoting smoothie? many of us ignore him for a damn good reason, mainly, he has nothing relevant to add, and is a trolling asshat)

alt-coins have no point if they don't really innovate something.

How many societies throughout history had to reinvent or innovate their own precious metal in order to have a stable medium of exchange?

answer? NONE!

Innovation has nothing to do with acceptance by the masses concerning a medium of exchange.

All societies did was take silver or gold (which they didn't innovate/invent) and stamp their logo/face/dear/god/king on it and call it money and use it as such.

Get a fucking clue when talking about something of a medium of exchange "HAVING" to be innovative to be accepted.

LOL! Cheesy

we want to go new ways, so why copy old societies behaviour?

let's strenghten the main coin and make it accepted instead of splitting up into small pointless side-coins.

i will only try an alt-coin if it really has a point.

i don't talk about other people, i talk about my own point.

i will sure not support an alt-coin which is just built like a ponzi.

early miners mine a lot, through hype, a bigger field comes in later to mine as well, while the early guys cash out and leave the currency abandoned.

So then...

1. Copies are ALWAYS bad right?

2. Bitcoin is being strengthen already through ASIC development. Having an alternative isn't a bad thing unless you fear that your bitcoin investment will plummet if another system comes out and takes attention away from BTC.

3. I talk about people who spout bullshit. Like "innovation is a must in creating a medium of exchange over the internet". BULLSHIT!

4. Ponzi? Oh you mean like how bitcoin was started where for about 2 years a small amount of miners with their laptop CPUs mined a FUCKTON of btc that is now worth like hundres of thousands if not millions of dollars? Way to be a hyprocrit.

5. No one cares if you support an alt-chain. Just stop spread bullshit about supposed mindsets behind how a system can ONLY be successful is by innovation.

6. oh and by the way early PPC adopters mined over 3.5 million PPC in 5 days. 60 days later there is only 10.9 million. Now let's talk more about early adopters eh?

Right you are just like every other hypocrit that has come on this board spouting bullshit.

The centralization is required due to poor design and because Sunny King likes centralization.

That's an opinion. You failed to provide a rational answer which can be falsified.

Quote from: proper_proper on October 13, 2012, 10:50:58 AM

The difficulty adjustment happens so fast it can't make it out to the solo miners who aren't using long polling.

What technical aspect are you talking about?

Quote from: proper_proper on October 13, 2012, 10:50:58 AM

Sunny King has gotten the people that posted about these problems to remove them from the forum. Sunny King wants to cover up the truth about PPCoin.

If you see posts disappeared, start quoting them. This at least leaves traces behind. Use those as references.

Quote from: proper_proper on October 13, 2012, 10:50:58 AM

Bitcoin doesn't have this problem because it waits two weeks to calculate difficulty. PPCoin only waits 10 minutes to calculate difficulty so you should expect large swings. Bad design.

Why do you think "large swings" are a bad design. They are a response to the changing hashing power. I find it rather great the the difficulty adjusts quickly - keeps the block rate more constant.

The large oscillations, or ringing, are also a product of the way the difficulty is calculated. It's unavoidable for this coin.

It's not a function of the coin or the difficulty adjustment, it's rather a function of the strength of the network. Large entity miners can play with the minting rate adjustment. It's unavoidable. The only solution to it is to avoid large entity miners.

Actually it is entirely because of the design. See this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringing_artifacts

Are you proposing to use an envelope function for the running average? In which way would this improve things? Please be technical, which oscillations to you consider harmful?

Hooray for the pioneers in the RealSolid navy! They never get to go on shore leave because the boat just keeps driving in circles.

If it weren't for pioneers we'd never have boats on the sea.

Is bitcoin a scammy society? Yes. (If you need proof I can provide hundreds of links.) Did satoshi create bitcoin? Yes. Is my observation that satoshi started a scammy society inaccurate? Clearly not. Did I mention anything about governments? Strawman. Is it well within my libertarian rights to scathingly point out the vast theft inherent to the growth of the current crop of cryptocurrencies and the sarcastically serendipitous anonymity of their creators? Certainly. You can play at being coy, stupid, or imply my stupidity, but I will not stand down from my beliefs because you think you have some kind of moral or intellectual superiority and make-believe that it is warranted by calling yourself libertarian.

No need to get self-indignant like that Wink

You are welcome to start a competing currency and show Satoshi and the world how it was meant to be done properly.

One shouldn't talk so much about one's self so much..."self" is also in the word "selfish"

You know that if you add another $100k-$200k into PPC it may become the new world's reserve currency eh? lol
