Last chance for bounty! 250 BT3 for the next valid block from a new block creator. I'll keep this thread open for at least 24 hours, then lock it for prosperity. This testnet has served its purpose. We've shown it is possible to run a blockchain-based currency on a forum thread, with signed ownership of addresses. Next up: finalize the protocol for ThreadCoin Version 0.1 ;) |
