Guys, SC can still recover from this. Change it back to an open liscence and take down that nasty article on BTC. People will find it more respectable, and it'll make it easier to accept a new cryptocurrency. You have to pick your battles.

I disagree. Solidcoin's founder's motives were clear: Decieve, overlook incompetence, bash bitcoin and other developers even his own users and critics that were solidcoin users.

It will take a long time before people's confidence go back into coinhunter/realsolid.

Although this could be a double edged sword for us. People could be transferring BTC from the two exchanges to mtgox where their could be a sudden glut of BTC for sale.

Actually yes, what what i liked most about the other chains was, that they pulled off GPU power from bitcoin, so its difficulty was not rising that fast anymore.

Btw, did i oversee something, i thought at the 1st of September ruxum started to trade SC.
Was at their page this morning, but there was no SC to select for trading.

Edit: just found the ruxum topic

If he now buys those SCs cheap, and then undoes the "licence" and works for a price raise again, is that considered "insider trading" ? Wink

I'm not sure DoubleC is going to reopen the exchange after all that has transpired. I could be wrong though.

If anything, BTC would go *up*, since SC just sank.

Nice, real nice. Way to fork an open-source project and turn it to something that's no longer open source. Is that even allowed?

What are exactly the changes you refer to? CoinHunter, can you file it to a patent? You should know it is just an idea, a small idea, you can't forbid someone to use it if one wants to, and actually nobody will use it when you claimed it. Anyone will not copy it directly if want, and can just change the parameters with understanding its meaning if it has. Now, this guy make himself enemy with the community.

Bitparking SolidCoin Exchange

The latest release of SolidCoin, v1.04, has a licence change that requires permission from the SolidCoin developers to use any changes they've made. The text can be seen in my analysis of the changes on github. The SolidCoin developers response to queries about this is "If you don't like it, don't use the source code, simple really".

For my projects I'm often custom building variants of SolidCoin and Bitcoin. I don't want to have to ask permission to use code and prefer to use open source licensed projects. For that reason I've decided to close this SolidCoin Exchange. Withdrawals will be enabled for a period of time to enable you to get your funds of the site. Other exchanges you can use (but I don't recommend or vouch for) are:

   Mooncoin
   btc-e.com
   Solidcoin24

SC is pretty much dead. The bitparking exchange and pool just shut down with this message:
