There is now an official release date!

Feb 19th, 10pm EST. Check the altcoin calendar for easy conversion to your own time zome.

https://www.altcoincalendar.info/coins/1340-SUP (note, might take a couple hours before it's active)

Wallets and a CPU miner will be provided a day early, but will be put into a state so that it won't sync until the launch happens (ie, checkpoint with blocks being kept secret until release). This method worked very well for my last coin release, Fractalcoin, and makes launching a trivial activity as all that must be done is a node brought online.

There will be no warm-up period and it will be full rewards starting from block 16. (up until block 16 will be premined, block 1 is 1,000 coins, 2-16 is 0 reward to ensure integrity of checkpoint security for launching)
Damn it's at 1pm for me, and I'll be at school. Sad
Unless I can start my miner in the morning and when my wallet syncs, it'll automatically start mining.
Oops, I forgot that there isn't a GPU miner, awesome! Now I know my house won't burn down and I have a chance at the low diff blocks.

If I make the wallet start mining on my 4 threads, 5 hours before the node is brought online, will my cpu be mining? Or will it only start mining when the node is brought online? Because I don't want to stress my computer for nothing. Smiley

Consider these mathematical laws:

1) Any real number, when divided by zero, produces modulus and quotient zero.
Example: 0/2 = 0

2) Any real number multiplied by zero is equal to zero.

Therefore, it logically follows, that zero divided by zero is equal to zero.

The answer is undefined, or infinity.

Darkcoin sees SPR on the street.... Who's having all the fun?


I'm trying to figure out if the guy is driving or the girl is walking backwards. Smiley

Easy, look at the mirror image in the window...
Kiss You are a smart person, my friend.


I have 0.46 btc, at what price should I buy SPR?

Maybe someone can give me a little discount...

Mr. LogoCreator Then you should Sue Ro.sluuk.com its clearly a copyright violation if the logo are not sold to them. but no need to show those screenshot. grats anyway. ahahahahah
Mayby he sold his logo to them. He said no one had bought it for a long time, so clearly someone did buy it.

A temporary "reference node" isn't anymore centralized than a dev who releases a wallet that everyone downloads and starts to use. Only after a coin is at the stage where it doesn't depend on one developer it begins to be decentralized.
There is a big difference. A wallet that everyone can download gives them a choice of weather to accept the changes or not, unlike a reference node, which can make changes to the network at its will and everyone automatically accepts it.

Hello e1ghtSpace;

Consider the very small and simple case of a 1-bit key.

Combinations are as follows:
0
1

Now go up to a 2-bit key. You have 2 possible combinations of a 1 bit key, and 2 possible combinations of the new bit.
00
01

10
11

3-bit: 4 possible combinations of the lower 2 bits, and 2 possible combinations of the new bit. 8 in total.
000
001
010
011

100
101
110
111

Every time you add an additional bit, you have all previous possibilities, multiplied by 2 (as the first, new, bit can be one of two possible values).

Therefore a 1 bit key has 2 possible values; a 2 bit key 2*2 = 4 possible values; a 3 bit key 2*2*2 = 8 possible values; and so on and so forth, until an N-bit key has 2^N possible values.

You can test this if you wish. Try counting from 0 to 31 in binary. See what you find.
Ah ok that makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation!

You should add a better theme to it. Right now it looks too plain.

P.S. I registered Supcoin! Mwahahaha! (before it went down, obviously)

One of the modules screwed up the forum.  So I have to reload.  I am setting it up on another site.  Should be up again soon.  I will also test a couple of themes.   Grin
Aww what! That's unfair! Someone stole The user Supcoin from me.

Can I please be a mod btw?
1115  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SCAM WARNING: How to Create a Bitcoin Receive Address from a Coin Flip on: February 15, 2015, 09:12:08 AM
Holy Crap watch out;

If you only use 256 coin flips, that means that there are only 256^2 posibilities for a bitcoin address generation.
Which means that there are only 65536 different combinations to create a bitcoin address.

A normal bitcoin address has 2^256 possible combinations aka 1.1579209e+77 aka 11579209<add 70 zeros here>.

DO NOT use this method.

I hope I am wrong and this actually is a suitable way to generate a secure bitcoin address.

You're wrong. 256 coin flips gives 2^256 possibilities for a bitcoin address generation.
How?

If you end up with 256 1‘s or 0’s  there is only 2 different combinations for each number.

I probably am wrong.

Holy Crap watch out;

How to create a Bitcoin Private Key and therefore a Unique Public Address, by flipping a Coin.[/u]

Step A.
Get a coin.  Label one side as “1” and the other side as “0”
Flip the coin 256 times and record the results as you go in groups of 4.  When you are done, your binary sequence should look something like this:

Binary: (Below is four sequences of 64 bits each 4x64=256)
0010 1000 1000 1111 0011 1001 1011 1011 1111 1101 0011 0110 1101 1010 0101 1010
0001 0010 1101 0001 0110 0010 1100 1011 0001 1000 1001 0111 1100 1001 0000 0010
0010 1000 1000 1011 0011 1001 1011 1011 0011 0110 1101 1010 0101 1010 0001 0010
1101 0001 0110 0010 1100 1011 0001 1000 1001 0111 1100 1001 0000 0010 0011 1101

The grouping and spaces are not important. They are grouped this way to make them "Human Friendly."
One Technical Note:  There is an upper limit on the range of acceptable valid public keys.  If for some reason you randomly flip the coin and you get 127 "1"s in a row, you are approaching the upper limit! 2

Step B.
The next step is to convert the Binary to HEX. Finding a Binary to Hex converter on-line that will handle that sized number is no easy task.
mathsisfun.com – This one can handle 64 bits at a time. Just keep them in order and separate.  Do 64 bits at a time. (4 times)

The Binary Number above Converted to HEX: (32 bytes)
288F 39BB FD36 DA5A 12D1 62CB 1897 C902 288B 39BB 36DA 5A12 D162 CB18 97C9 023D
This HEX number is your Raw Private Key, and again the spacing is not important.
*** Note: If you owned a pair of 16 sided dice, you could roll the pair 32 times and record the results like above and save the coin tossing found in Step A. ***

Step C.
Next, Cut and paste the HEX number into Brainwallet and choose “HEX” to “B58Check.”  This will create a very large number that begins with a “5”. This number is your private key “Wallet Import Format”.

*** You cannot use the Brainwallet BIN to HEX converter if you space them out like I did, due to the fact that Brianwallet adds a “0” place holder to every 4 bit BIN sequence. e.g. “1111” converted to HEX is “F” but Brainwallet converts it as “0F.”   But if you get rid of the spaces and paste the entire sequence in at once, you can use the BIN to BASE58Check converter and skip the HEX conversion (Step B.) altogether. In other words, lining the ones and zeroes up like I did, makes it more human friendly, but it makes you do an extra step.***

The HEX above converted to B58Check WIF:
5J89cr5WGdvQWeeekN5ZGzuXVsWREbAYku6MDeUgrJTjX1ZHhCX

Step D.
Next copy the private key WIF code. Click “Generator” and paste the private key into the Private Key box.  This will create your new Public Address.

WIF Format above Converted to Bitcoin Public Address:
1Cwd7i5R6GM56njNhyyr7RRUYo6e1AMg9A

You have now created a Private Bitcoin Key and a Public Address from 256 coin flips!

If you only use 256 coin flips, that means that there are only 256^2 posibilities for a bitcoin address generation.
Which means that there are only 65536 different combinations to create a bitcoin address.

A normal bitcoin address has 2^256 possible combinations aka 1.1579209e+77 aka 11579209<add 70 zeros here>.

DO NOT use this method.

I hope I am wrong and this actually is a suitable way to generate a secure bitcoin address.

Edit:

EXTRA RANDOM:  It is scientifically plausible to detect bias in your coin or flip method (this is absurd, but possible). If you flip 1000's of these coins the exact same way and published the results, then possibly even a computer could read the data and find a pattern. So instead of flipping 1 coin 256 times, you could get 256 coins, all different if possible.  Then you flip half and your drinking buddy flips the other half, letting them land on as many different hard surfaces as possible in your house.  Record the results.  Then the only bias will be in your two methods of flipping,  but no one could ever crack your bias unless you publish the results with a large, sufficiently sized sampling pool.
Or you could flip the coin 128 times and then for the next 128 flips, swap the ones and zeros.

I thought that ended. It did, right?
1118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN] [SUP] Supcoin, new PLUCK algorithm, Logo contest, Bounties on: February 15, 2015, 05:44:43 AM
With the help of Wolf` and djm34, some problems with PLUCK have been found that break it's cryptographic security (ie, always including a plain sha256 hash), as well as some non-obvious performance optimizations that are not intended.

So, the hashing algorithm has changed some. I think in it's current state on github it should be good, but I'm still working to verify this.  
where is the new algorithm code?
i'd like to check again.


https://github.com/supcoin/supcoin-TEST-ONLY/blob/master/src/primitives/block.cpp
good work.i think this algorithm have no disadvantage.
this algorithm is preferred for CPU mining.how fast is the GPU miner?

There is none yet.
Are you working on one? / Will you claim the bounty?

It feels like you are following me (or maybe i'm following you) everywhere but I guess we're both going to coins with different algos. Smiley

I am totally watching this, although I am disappointed that the dev wants a GPU miner out asap. I would've liked it to be cpu only. Oh well...

But I am still watching. Smiley
