Title: SolidCoin 1.10 Preview

So as everyone should know work has been going on with the new 1.10 client. This new client has quite a few new features and hundreds of internal differences from the previous SolidCoin.

These include :-

*) Multiple wallet support. Including changes to API to support them for businesses. Still compatible with the old API through the selection of a "Default" wallet.
*) Networking improvements designed to improve efficiency of the connected nodes
*) Multithreaded rewrite. Hundreds of lines have been rewritten to provide a much smoother multithreaded experience.
*) Cleanup of the code. Restructured parts of it to allow it be extended more easily in the future
*) 64bit support on Windows
*) More GUI enhancements and features.


If you want to get access to a beta before the public release join IRC and wait for the announcement.

Comments and suggestions can be given at the SolidCoinTalk forum (http://solidcointalk.org/topic/173-solidcoin-110-preview/)

Except those of us that are banned from the IRC channel. :p

I got a few questions:

1.10 client

Why the inflation of the version number?


hundreds of internal differences from the previous SolidCoin.

This means over 100 ASCII signs have been changed in the sourcecode?


*) Cleanup of the code.

Hope you didn't erase something essential.

...

But you are a wanker who keeps introducing bugs. Why would we want to use a buggy cryptocurrency developed by a wanker?

Didn't you say on twitter that you were trying to sell 'shit from your toilet'? Keep your ShitCoin.

HA! I got banned from #solidcoin on freenode for asking a question. All I did was mention the client and got booted. Hang on let me check my logs...... Wait a sec! IT WAS YOU!! Take a look at this:

[12:17] <OneMINER> Hey I'm trying to get my coins in order and I hear theres some problem with the solidcoin client. I was wondering if anybody knew of an open source client that has no compatibility issues. I found this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41345.0 and was hoping someone could comment on it.
[12:18] <Sativacyborg> lol kick him O.o
[12:18] <FlipPro> THE MAIN ONE IS OPEN SOURCE
[12:18] <FlipPro> JESUS
[12:18] <nixh4ck> lol whatever gets said here gets immediately cross posted to #btcguild and vice versa, sad
[12:18] * kish (~rr@unaffiliated/spice) has joined #solidcoin
[12:18] <OneMINER> Ohh. What was the problem I was reading about though? Was the author of the site mistaken?
[12:19] * RealSolid sets mode +b *!*@bas13-toronto12-1167984130.dsl.bell.ca for #solidcoin


So that happened on 2011-09-05 if anybody wants to check. Maybe you could fill me in on what I did exactly that warrants a ban.

Subtle trolling? If you think it's wrong give me a PM.

Your ShittyCoin is a troll on BitCoin. Can we ban you too?

Guidelines from freenode.net (http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml)

"If you just want to publish a single conversation, be careful to get permission from each participant. Provide as much context as you can. Avoid the temptation to publish or distribute logs without permission in order to portray someone in a bad light. The reputation you save will most likely be your own. "

I've never seen that much shameless bullshit in a release changelog.


*) Networking improvements designed to improve efficiency of the connected nodes
Improvements that improves efficiency?
Sounds awesome...
Is it more networking than before?

 

*) Multithreaded rewrite. Hundreds of lines have been rewritten to provide a much smoother multithreaded experiece.
After functional programming, object oriented programming and procedural programming, CoinHunter invents the line-oriented programming, a powerful new paradigm where the organizational unit is the line and the developer can safely disregard side effects on other lines. It is also a software development method based on the empirical evidence that any modification longer than one line increases entropy in the program in a totally unsustainable fashion. Focusing on a single line at a time allows the programmer to successfully understand each line individually and achieve to produce something that compiles.
Line-oriented programming is also totally cloud ready and spawns multiple threads on bitcointalk.org for a much lamer experience.


*) Cleanup of the code. Restructured parts of it to allow it be extended more easily in the future
Are you aware that people are going to look at your code and laught at your ridiculous claims?


*) 64bit support on Windows
A whooping 1-line change in the makefile...

*) More GUI enhancements and features.
More features suggests that you already mentionned features.
But I fail to see where...

Placement of the balance makes more sense where you moved it to.

Why waste the time making improvements on the client?

It's far too late for this fork to ever be accepted by the community.

If you want to add some facts to your smart observations you should wait for the source code and mention the relevant code blocks ;-) Otherwise this is just trolling...

Well, just compare previous releases claims with actual changes.
doublec was nice enough to break em out into nice logical units: https://github.com/doublec/solidcoin/commits/master
There's quite a few WTF candidates in there.

Maybe 1.11 will last a whole TWENTY minutes!

Nah, 1st one is probably someone discovering the "joy" of a hard 4kB tx size limit (*way* more convenient than those EVIL variable tx fees, eh?)
2nd seems to be for some reason stuck downloading the chain and keeps DCing his peers thanks to the "disconnect peer if he sends us more than 9 orphan tx" "improvement".

This reminds me of computer science days in college when my prof said sometimes fixing something breaks more things than it fixes. That statement applies oh so clearly here.

Well he does code like a retarded drunken macaque. Has he even heard of testing?

It's amazing he has the front to complain about the slow pace of BitCoin development when anyone can see the mess you get when you rush these things.

Improvements designed to improve network efficiency btw is not some absurd statement like you are making it seem like, if you understood software at all you would never have stated that and it could be any number of things, sending and receiving fewer messages, bundling communications by time or size, changes in how updates are broadcast/requested.
Who said improving networking is absurd?
You are a very first-degree person aren't you?
If you had even an ounce of critical thinking, you would understand that what I am mocking is not what he claims he did, but the way he is padding his changelog with hollow marketing bullshit to make it look like he did a lot of big changes, without ever citing anything concrete.
