Yes, lets encourage people to blindly trust someone who we know absolutely nothing about and, just like eduffield, continually makes insider/whale friendly changes. NO ONE will ever get scammed that way ! Genius !  Btw.. how secure and decentralized do your precious MNs look to everyone now ? Sure, and you know everything about Satoshi Nakamoto, following your logic: Bitcoin = shit. Cheers Everybody is so defensive on this thread! This identity debate only started because I asked if we knew who Mr Spread is...its a reasonable question! Yes, I am defending his desire to remain anonymous. And your desire to ask questions. So continue, ask more!  Not sure you will get answers though. |

Good to hear. Do you anticipate this causing much blockchain bloat over time?
Wouldn't this be something that remains steady over time? It will add to the block size, but it will not increase over time. We will have a limited number of allowed masternodes. (Well, I still advocate that Mr. Spread lets the number of masternodes slowly grow over time, something like (Available coins)/1000. I think this is important to always be able to attract newcomers, and not give the impression of "the club of the 1000 MN owners", this would be wrong IMHO. ) |

But people should not be afraid of anonymity. Instead, anonymity is something that should be valued, especially when important people use it. Would satoshi think it's a good idea to "build trust" by showing his true face publicly? In the contrary, the establishment would crucify him! And he knows. PS: I never installed a DRK masternode, although I have owned enough DRK for about a year. But I am going to install SPR Masternodes for sure. Mr.spread has done what he promised since the first day of lauch till now. why don't you check his previous posts? fudding here to buy cheap ? or sth else ?  Wut? Why are you quoting me while saying that?  |

Does anybody know who Mr Spread is?
I don't know, was just interested to know if he is publicly known like the devs from other major coins.
You mean like that infamous bitcoin guy? I for one hope that Mr.Spread stays as anonymous as possible. This would play into the general decentralization theme we value so much here at spreadcoin. No foundation, no central dev making public appearances and such... none of that! Just a loose network of cooperating people who believe in decentralization. who have the path of this coin in the hands of an anonymous dev ... yup - never heard that story before ...  still - sounds like a winning combo ... #crysx I prefer an anonymous dev who goes ALWAYS open source, instead of a publicly known figure who thinks it's a good idea to go closed source for months. |

STOP IT! HAHAHAHAHA!  I might... but I have too much respect for Mr. Spread and the community to post anything in this thread here. Hm, if only I had my own forum? ....Ha! No, I am more into cartoons and animations these days. |

Mr. Spread, here is the Darkcoin dev's explanation for the fork. Hopefully SPR will be able to avoid like issues:
[noparse]https://darkcointalk.org/threads/0-11-0-darkcoin-core-release.3601/page-23[/noparse]
Post 453 and 458
You need to copy and paste otherwise you get rickrolled.
This will not happen with SpreadCoin. In DarkCoin the messages which select masternodes are separate from the blockchain and are distributed independently. This way it is possible that nodes will have different opinion on what masternode should receive next payment. In SpreadCoin all votes for masternodes will be stored in blocks and the payee will be uniquely determined from previous blocks. Just like you can check that any transaction included in the block is correct by comparing its inputs with outputs in previous blocks you will be able to check that masternode payment is correct by checking previous blocks. Why bitcoin is so reliable? Because all nodes have exactly the same rules how to determine which blockchains are correct and which one is better (required more work) than others, these rules are only depended on blocks themselves, not on the order in which they were received them nor on any other messages which you may or may not receive in time. The network can be unstable in the case of some major event which will break connectivity between nodes such as damage of submarine cables, world war, alien invasion, zombie apocalypse, etc. but once connectivity between nodes is reestablished all nodes will stick to the same blockchain. The same will apply to SpreadCoin. Yes! I hoped that this would be the case! Where exactly will the Ddosing happen? Constantly asking the network to send the list of the top 1000 allowed masternodes? Is this transmitted data going to be what bloats/attacks the system?
Isn't this data communicated thru the blockchain? If not, maybe it should, so that miners can secure this data.

Another person has created 3 accounds taking spreadcoin, spread and SPR. (and they didn't even bother putting in a capital S)
Sounds like this person has a business plan. If spreadcointalk really gets cracking, and he gets to sell those names for money, then good for him. And good for us, since this means that people consider spreadcoin so famous and valuable that they are going to pay for a mere username. So no complaints here. PS: I will delete obvious spam accounts once a week. I will also delete accounts that remain inactive (no posts AND no reading activity) for a prolongued period of time. (I will not specify) |

I am afraid Hippie Tech is correct. I wanted spreadcoin to be different but it is always the same. A few are trying hard to raise value so they can sell coins they bought cheap for profit. Mining by a few getting all the coins. Same people from darkcoin now claim spreadcoin is best. More games, cons, lies. Centralized = the end.
If they were giving out free lunches people like you would bitch because you still had to put your hand up and ask the waiter to bring you a platefull. LMAO, ... so true, that's how I imagine entitled people to be. And while he eats the free lunch he would probably complain (with his mouth full) that those people run a ponzi! |

Have you ever legitimately EARNED anything in life ?
Yet to a hippie doing a hard days work...  I ain't gonna let a hippie teach me about capitalism... he's clearly on an anti-capitalist crusade (just check his bumpersticker style signature) [anarchist_rant] I am against government. And true capitalism (the free market competition I like) has nothing to do with government. Banks and corporations are government created entities, created under law. And it's government who gives all those criminals cover, and helps them with ridiculous patent law and regulations etc... They are false capitalism, they are crapitalism. How many bankers have gone to prison? None. And you blame capitalism for that? That's silly. Blame government. [/anarchist_rant] |

Thanks, that's good info. I didn't catch the bit about dynamic priced masternodes. How is that value and frequency of chance going to be set or is that still in discussion stages?
dynamic price will not be set, instead it will be decided by the "free market", allowing for a very healthy competition. The amount of possible "masternode seats" is the thing that will be limited, and the more money you invest in your masternode the more secure your "seat reservation" gets. Some people will invest only a few SPR (the minimum), others will invest 10x more SPR in their masternode. Now if you only invest the bare minimum you run the risk of becoming "the weakest link" and a newcomer who just invests 1 SPR more than you might throw your masternode out of the race. But you can always reenter the race by investing more than the new weakest link, etc... |

Lack of information is a big concern for me as well. Very hard to invest in a coin when there is no update about upcoming development.
I'll make it easy for you. Go to Mr.Spread user page here, and list his last posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=360096;sa=showPostsThe only thing Mr.Spread does all the time is give us update about development and answering questions . You have to read it yourself, am not gonna chew it for you. |

Like, one or two pages back, Mr Spread posted a preview of the MN GUI...
So that is why I should buy 50BTC of SPR instead of 50 BTC of DRK? If you really were to buy 50 BTC SPR, this action alone would make SPR a top 10 marketcap coin. If instead you buy 50 BTC DRK, darkcoins price will not move at all. (meh, maybe 10%) With darkcoin you have thousands of masternode owners and miners who are constantly selling their profits, they are big liquidity providers. Not so much with SPR, where pretty much everyone is hodling, because we are early in the development cycle. |

I would like to see a ticker.
If the lowest cost fluctuates between 100 - 200 and has been for two weeks, i will set my MN's to 300 - 400 to stay safe, but also utilize the coins i have.
A ticker showing the lowest amount needed is an awesome idea. IMO
A graph would be awesome. So that we can see the change over time. Kinda like we see the difficulty change in the menu "overview". LOL, this will create a whole new kind of technical analysis with support and resistance lines for masternode requirements. Ayeeee! Why should I have to click an extra button, grrrr. <  > Yeah exactly my point, therefor it would be cool to have a "narrow" sidebar on the left/right with all the nice and sexy information we want to catch at a single glance, like for example "% of total money tied in ALL masternodes". |
