We welcome people modifying, extending and making projects for SolidCoin. We realize people don't want to have to get permission to use, or have to release source code to their projects if they don't won't to.

HOWEVER.

The SolidCoin source cannot be used in projects which are not in close relation to SolidCoin or do not work with the project (currently defined by the project hosted at http://solidcoin.info). We reserve the right to cancel this open source license to any project which has a negative impact on the SolidCoin network or SolidCoin users.

Your projects source code doesn't need to be released if you use the source or derive from it. A credit or note about using the source code would be welcome however. Businesses and companies are also free to use the source provided all other conditions are met.

it doent say you have to mention it in your license , it says you have to include it

include is not loose, its quite clear. include means that it needs to follow the stuff its gets included with.

why would you want to remove it anyway? its just stupid

it makes it less clear that the code it free for all and does not belong to you like the rest of it - which you allow to be used only for solid coin
and i think it is on purpose
nobody is going to sue you, but it is bad manners. you got the bitcoin code for free, just do what they ask. is it so hard to copy paste it?

I violated the MIT license, but still can't admit I did it. I just keep changing the story and hope people forget the earlier versions.

Our code does not belong to the world with no conditions. Unlike Bitcoin we put disclaimers in there to protect us legally from malicious activity. If people want to use SolidCoin code for "Good" then there is no problem, they don't even need to release the source. A malicious Bitcoin developer could release something that attacks the network and the Bitcoin developers could do absolutely nothing to remove it. If someone writes a virus for Windows on the other hand Microsoft slap the turkey on them.

In regards to your continued ridiculous claims about MIT, it is obvious as day to anyone that reads the license.txt that there is Bitcoin code used and it is licensed under MIT and copyrighted by them. Perhaps your bad manners is subjective? Perhaps another person believes its bad manners to criticize Bitcoin because some of your code is still using it. Maybe others believe it is bad manners to criticize Bitcoin at all. Some others in a dark region think it's even bad manners to use Bitcoin code at all! What you "feel" and "think" isn't necessarily reality and the quicker you realize this the better off you'll be. Satoshi, unlike the current developers, released his code under MIT because he realized Bitcoin would be overtaken by <insert the boogey man>... and a real fork like SolidCoin would be needed.

1comprise or contain as part of a whole: the price includes dinner, bed, and breakfast other changes included the abolition of the death penalty

 
2make part of a whole or set: we have included some hints for beginners in this section

 
allow (someone) to share in an activity or privilege: there were doubts as to whether she was included in the invitation

What do you lose by having it your way vs having it the way it is now?

time to dmca his ass again lol.

I'm confused, does us copyright law cover the entire planet?

This place isnt the place for illegal activity? what do you think it is when someone moves more than 10k via bitcoin?
oh wait there I go assuming US law is world wide.

I do find it interesting the die hard freedom folks like to ban people whom they disagree with.

shouldnt yall be able to counter solidcoin publicly without going to this centrally managed method of crying to the kings?

The whole solidcoin hate, and DMCA notices is just lame as hell, sure seems antithesis to the ideas behind the community.

So your position on this is "DMCA's dont affect me because im not under US law"
How about Megaupload?

It's just funny how ironic the whole situation is with some of these people supporting draconian laws to try to censor a free project they don't like. Isn't the Bitcoin ethos against this? Or am I in the wrong place?

"Dude you didn't put a text file exactly the way I like!!! OMFG I'm going to DMCA you!! Yeah that will teach you!!"

Bitcoin can have supporters like this, we only want people against these types of institutions working with and investing in SolidCoin at the moment.

Dude, You have your own ENTIRE FORUMS, go post that the new client is out ver there, Not in multiple threads within Alt Cur. on the bitcoinforums

How did you measure that because I would have guessed namecoin or LTC. I'm pretty sure name coin and LTC are "bigger" than ShitCoin but please tell me how I am wrong.

You do realize the price only went up because you changed it so you only have something like 5 coins in a block now and you are buying these coins?

number of nodes lol!

Also I thought you would have used biggest as most adapted, or most used, or most mined. namecoin and litecoin have you there. How much of your own money have you pumped into this to keep up the price? I guess it is not hard to do now that there is no volume due to no one mining it but you. No one can sell into your rise as you cut off the supply. (Give me great idea for TyGrr coin, lol)

And yeah, there is no need for you to take me seriously, and I wont be stopping the lulz.

I would forever be in awe if you did!

10Bitcoin bounty from me if someone gets it before King Scammer

I've released v2.041 which fixes a crash bug in the Linux daemon, also updated the license.txt so that the criticisms shown from some supporters here can disappear.

How about Megaupload?

Yes, exactly.
Megaupload had most of their servers located in USA, giving the USA a reason to psopena the servers.

It's hard to take you serious when you are so intentionally offensive.

SolidCoin is the biggest "alt chain" or second biggest cryptochain (currently behind Bitcoin) because of the following :-

1) Number of nodes
2) Market cap.  2.8 million coins in circulation at $0.05 USD  ($140000)

I'm not sure what metrics you would use but if you want to compare some other chains in market cap

NMC: 2017300 coins * $0.028 = $56585
LTC: 3702750 coins * $0.0064 = $23697

So we are nearly 3 times bigger than namecoin and 6 times bigger than LiteCoin.

2) Market cap.  2.8 million coins in circulation at $0.05 USD  ($140000)

1. Hashrate dropped from 34739 to 9021.
2. Price dropped from $.05 to $.02

Clearly the block reward is still too high. Why don't you try -5 SC per block?

All this SC garbage is going to make the 50/25 block split So Much more painful...
with all the "lets try alt chains instead of staying on Satoshi's" it's going to Murder the public acceptablility of Bitcoins.
Anybody starting/running a cyrpto currency that isnt Bitcoin, Is a money lusting Bastard who is destroying the very source of income they hope to tap into.

What made bitcoins work? The knowledge that the are Finite,
So people go, "why wont this new currency i make work then?"
Because Bitcoins were a fucking test project that JUST SO HAPPENED to work out!, The more Fuckers creating ShitCoins, The more people they're will be to go "That 'bicoin' is garbage and isnt worth JackShit, Watch, I'll go create SuperSolidCoins!, They are Exactly like bitcoins, and therefore are going to work!" <--Fucking, Idiots.
It's Spiral of stupidity that Kills Bitcoins.
You Greedy FUCKS stop creating other alt currencys, Your devaluing bitcoins
You Asshole.
