overtime, the value, steady production, and features will make this coin a winner. ask bcx he threw 3 th/s at it and couldn't even budge the block targets. like bitcoin, the stringent difficulty rules can sometimes lead to longer block times and a stranding effect, but in an electronic environment, OpenSourcecoin is proof that fast block times don't always mean less security, and give Sunny King credit for his thoughtfulness in designing Peercoin, which OSC is ultimately derived from.
Yeah, I noticed how the difficulty shifts with network hash rate rather than being stuck high when the power drops off. I've had transactions with some coins get stuck for hours or days when this happens. For applications where getting that first confirmation quickly is important it's a good feature. BTW, I tried to get a p2pool set up. It connects to Ocoin and cgminer connects to it and finds blocks but they aren't propagated or recorded by the network, plus the payout is wrong. I'll do more hacking when I get time. there are several pools already, such as osc.dsync.net which was the first functional pool, and is arguably the best. i think most people mine at coinex, but the dsync pools are known for finding more blocks per gh/s than any other. that could be just seen as my opinion, but coinex has had 150 ghs, but we'd be hitting a block every 5 minutes with less than 10 |

how many OSC have been minted so far?
almost 1 million were almost into phase two of production. starting at block 128,000 20 coins per block until block 256,000. i posted the exact calculations back on page 4 or 5 of this thread, but around 5 million coins will be produced in this time period. this period will be followed by a 144,000 block period at 25 coins per block, leaving just over 12 million coins in production at the first block halving, where the reward will drop to 12.5 coins per block. overtime, the value, steady production, and features will make this coin a winner. ask bcx he threw 3 th/s at it and couldn't even budge the block targets. like bitcoin, the stringent difficulty rules can sometimes lead to longer block times and a stranding effect, but in an electronic environment, OpenSourcecoin is proof that fast block times don't always mean less security, and give Sunny King credit for his thoughtfulness in designing Peercoin, which OSC is ultimately derived from. |

I've decided to split the prize evenly between cryptasm and mook. mook has received payment but where is cryptasm?
|
|
|

mook, the dimensions on this second image are perfect, but the top one should be 190x 50px, alright? thanks.. i need a btc address from you as well since you and cryptasm had arguably the best submissions. excellent work. i can't decide who to award first place and who to award second, but i think i will end up going with yours for the logos. however, cryptasm private messaged me some amazing artwork so i think he deserves some btc as well. i would love to use his images for advertising purposes and yours for the logo. excellent jobs all around!  |

Withdrawals are not automated because no one knows how
you're so right muddafudda. we built a trade engine that handles 900,000 queries per second and we can't figure out for the life of us how to handle withdrawals with jsonRPCphp... <?php
...
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["id"]);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Wallets WHERE `id`='$id'");
$coin = mysql_result($sql,0,"Acronymn");
$ip = mysql_result($sql,0,"ip");
$port = mysql_result($sql,0,"port");
$bitcoin = establishRPCConnection($ip,$port);
$bitcoin->sendfromaccount($loggedInUser->display_username);
?> |

I started building a new gui this morning for launch. i was supposed to be taking a break for thanksgiving, but i just couldn't help myself. i ended up doing something no one has ever accomplished before, utilizing jquery to style the viewport with css3 animations. i think you're gonna like it, it looks pretty sick. think windows metro 8 start screen ;P

I'm bumping the coding thread  I want to post up some more code here soon  can you debug an sql query? i can't get my form to work for some odd strange reason. <b>Ban A user</b>
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="banby" value="<?php echo $account; ?>" />
<input type="text" name="to_ban" class="shadowfield" />
<input type="submit" value="ban" class="blues" />
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["to_ban"]))
{
$banby = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST["banby"]));
$to_ban = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST["to_ban"]));
$sqly = mysql_query("UPDATE userCake_Users SET `Banned`='1' WHERE `Username`='$to_ban'");
$sqlz = mysql_query("UPDATE userCake_Users SET `BannedBy`='$banby' WHERE `Username`='$to_ban'");
}

Interesting that you want to show your complete name to everyone. Why does you name sound like a cross between Justin Bieber and a razor company, sounds a little iffy to me?
I asked about an opinion on it. It is a yes or no. Criticizing is not needed as we are deciding in community favor. besides the fact that hes not even criticizing the question... just your name... lol Mhmmm.... |

I really don't think speed matters as much as you're making it out.
definitely matters. alot. are you gonna sit on an old pc with windows 95 or get windows 8? faster is better, time is money No it really doesn't if you've been following cryptos a long time. To change the block times to be super fast can be done in seconds, yet only 1 or 2 coins has tried something like that for a reason. it leads to higher orphan rate and less security. --experience |

thanks, i've changed my last entry a bit. tried to make it look a bit more 3D  that's del.ic.io.us lol i'll leave this open just a few days for fairness. i do really like this one, it'll be hard to top. |

i like cryptasm's the best so far. it lacks refinement though. i'd like to see a logo that looks a little more 3d/beveled

i may hold a vote with the staff and see what they think about additional shares. justin has voted no at this time. i'm up in the air about it. anywho, i have finalized a deal with Wansec for hosting. we have secured 3 servers total. at a price of 500 setup + 500 per month. this setup includes: Reverse Proxy Server: specs { classified  } Front End/ Database server { Dual Xeon L5520 72 gb ram 4x 500 gb sata raid 10 10 gb port speed 3 ip addresses } Wallet Server. Will Serve 20 coin wallets which will use moderate bandwidth(Bitcoin and Litecoin will use the most. { Dual Xeon L5520 72 gb ram 4x 500 gb sata raid 1 10 gb port speed 2 ip address { This deal includes a 95th percentile billing agreement on bandwidth. we pay for 15mb/s , with 30 hours burst up to 10 gb/s, so somewhere around 38 tb. |

Pretty good going so far. Can you tell me who among the staff are actual coders?  Would you be willing to take any suggestions privately via chat? Good luck! justin and i do all of the coding. and yes, i know we need to stop concatenating strings together and switch to PDO. this is like the roughdraft. |

we have a new leader. still to early to decide. also i will be offering a consolation prize of .01 to all worthy submissions. lets see what ya got! this is a business, it needs to be nice |

eh its ok, this offfer is officially sold out! we don' t need anymore money! more shares sold in 2 months. edit first page please  EDIT : sorry, didn't see it was in 2 parts & gl again. Don't make like mcxnow Definitely won't happen. More money to be made in the long run ligitemately than running off with the money. |

Total Shares Sold: 155 total income: 3.875 BTC  Thanks for supporting us guys, full speed ahead! expect opening next week or the following week. really depends on how long it takes to get the servers setup with wansec, and test our rpc stuff, which shouldn't take long at all. CFO of Wansec is supposed call tonight, and help me build a server configuration. ideally we'd have 1x webserver 1x database server 1x wallet server but we might end up with 1x web/database server 1x wallet server all depends on what we can afford |

Is this the same contest as in the other old thread or are these two different logo's?
there is OpenEx(the altcoin exchange) and OpenSourcecoin(the coin) hope that explains it. |
