You are wrong. This explorer https://minkiz.co/abe/chain/BeeCoin2Chain is not doing good. Try to find this txid in this explorer: 9c424ad1f7a76e8aa20b5bfc428fde43ba191ef4beb492fd14e74e353acf7c0b This is a txid of my withdraw from 18.02.2015 on Allcoin. Can this explorer tell where is my money?  Sigh. You are correct, that transaction does not appear in whichever fork of the blockchain the block explorer is recording. There's no point in running a block explorer if the results are questionable so I've shut it down. Cheers Graham |

Good find. Though I still don't think it's as clear cut as you make it sound
Fair comment. I have the advantage of being a code contributor, so was on nodding terms with Mr Spread. Not that it gives me any better view, just more data to work with and that gets reflected in my personal narrative and, in turn, my writing. My perspective is that the community has lost a key team member. But that's the extent of it, the existing community of SPR app users survives. This is why p2p was designed to be resilient, after all. It's a bit of a trope but collectively surmounting this kind of setback is supposed to “build character”, time will tell I s'pose.

The defense (edit: whoops, i mean plaintiff) also has to prove they lost business because of the statement, very tough to do. So I think he's safe. I think he's just having fun anyway. It wouldn't be good PR for zftr to go after anybody and I'm sure they've got bigger fish to fry.
Well, his post is actually too garbled to allow a canonical parsing but it exposed him as a trolling sockmuppet. As regards to ziftrCOIN, hallucinating conspiracy shapes in the clouds is mildly entertaining, especially when reality is quite so prosaic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917735.0;allCheers Graham |

nice wallet. for windows 7 no such ?
Thanks for the kind words. Sadly, no there aren't Win binaries. I don't have a Windows m/c and even if I had, the results would have to be published as “unofficial binaries” and consequently suspect by default. (Although what the notion of “official” is doing, hanging around the neck of a p2p app, I really don't know.) I will try to find a solution. I do have a question though, does the buzz chat thing work for you Win users? It looks to me as though the subscription to the remote service has expired or has slipped out of community control (classic example of the perils of relying on centralised services) but it's just possible that it's an OS-related issue specific to Linux. The unavailability of the back-end service doesn't really pose an issue for the app and can simply be ignored. OTOH, it would be possible to replace the tab offering the buzz service with a tab offering vanilla IRC chat but you'd notice a deterioration in presentation and only the very basic IRC chat functionality would be preserved. OTOOH, perhaps there's funding available to re-enable the remote service. Just thinking out loud. Cheers Graham |

we all know dev is mining Ziftr with his gpu miner).
ziftr “dev” is US registered company myVBO LLC, you've just publicly accused them of fraud. Bad move. Can you prove they don't have one.  That's irrelevant, this isn't the school playground. When legally challenged, the sockmuppet making the accusation is obliged to provide proof in order to defend themselves against a charge of libel. Be careful how you write it if you can't prove it.

Ziftr sounds scammy.
Maybe so but it is basically legit and, for a change, they actually make coherent statements about their offer (which I include here as an exemplar): “ziftrCOIN, the gateway coin to mainstream cryptocurrency adoption, aims to onboard the next 10 million cryptocurrency users by putting cryptocurrency into the hands of consumers and enabling them to conduct simple, secure transactions at their favorite online merchants.” fwiw, I consider that to be a competent and clear expression (notably contrasting with the usual incoherent babble of bct OPs). Doing Business As (DBA) statement from www.ziftrcoin.com: “This User Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract between you ("you," "your" or "user") and myVBO, LLC , DBA as Ziftr and ziftrCOIN ("ziftrCOIN" "we", "us" or "our") and applies to your use of: (a) the ziftrCOIN website located at ziftrCOIN.com, the ziftrCOIN API, and any associated ziftrCOIN hosted websites or mobile applications (collectively the "ziftrCOIN Site"), and (b) any of the services provided to you by myVBO, , doing business as Ziftr and ziftrCOIN (together with the ziftrCOIN Site, the "ziftrCOIN Services")” myVBO - www.myVBO.com registered details: http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=105672715Tactics are: a giveaway to drive distribution, provision of a payment system and a list of signed-up merchants. Should be a total no-brainer for any ambitious cryptocurrency effort, anything less is in danger of being the cryptocurrency analogue of a child's kerbside lemonade stall, charmingly naive and winsomely trivial. I'm left with a few questions about business involvement in launching a p2p app, like “What’s in it for them?”, “Which parts of the process do they control?” and “If the business owns rights in ziftrcoin, then those rights can be sold or otherwise traded, yes?” They're certainly very free with their rights claims and the wording has been carefully drawn in their favour, as they are bound to do. Perhaps less of a community and more of a customer base? The production values are certainly a lot higher than the vast majority of altcoins and serve as an excellent example of the scope and depth of logistics support that must accompany an adoption drive if it's to have any real chance of success.

is this sorted now?
I've not received any communication other than what's been posted here, so your guess is as good as mine I'm afraid. As far as I can tell (from the explorer), the blockchain is ticking along nicely ( https://minkiz.co/abe/chain/BeeCoin2Chain) And the wallet seems to be stable. I know “it works for me” can be intensely irritating to those for whom it doesn't but it has been stable for about three weeks now, both the PoS difficulty and the network stake weight seem to be noticeably healthier ... As of 14 Feb:  As of today:  So, I don't think I'm being overly optimistic if I respond to your “is this sorted now?” with “no reason I can see why it shouldn't have been”. Cheers Graham |

This is it's glaring problem that will only get worse as the weeks go by.
Yes, and it's such a shame for SPR that you're the only person on the planet to have arrived at this insight. Could I persuade you doleful Dark dorks to take your hopelessly gloomy prognostications off to your own thread? Or is this more of the orchestrated smear campaign? It's starting to look like it. Cheers Graham |

End of the story...
Uh-huh, again the tell-tale device of writing as though prediction were fact, presenting a fiction as a logical premise. Another one for the ignore list. Cheers Graham |

A quick check of the mining pools listed in the OP reveals that the bitember pool is still active on 107.150.38.154.
I have a node syncing up on 85.10.194.50 (should be up to date in a few hours) and peerinfo is reporting four active nodes in total:
addnode=107.150.38.154:9508
addnode=85.236.188.213:57622
addnode=50.197.11.193:57288
addnode=23.21.204.34:53076
HTH

I'm now prompted to wonder whether the success criterion might be complete abandonment of the development effort.
Dead is dead,never and never try to touch a dead coin again! Okay, so the target is complete abandonment. That's interesting, I wonder how much this smear campaign cost? It's been remarkably successful for being based on a complete fabrication, far more successful than I'd have previously credited. Cheers Graham |

A coin with a shameful history should be abandoned,shouldn't it ?
What's with the endless stream of poisonous sockpuppetry? Hasn't this smear campaign achieved its objective yet? The continued pursuit of the campaign suggests to me that Spreadcoin is still perceived as a significant threat to someone's financial ambitions. I'm now prompted to wonder whether the success criterion might be complete abandonment of the development effort. If so, that seems a bit ambitious because the campaign has now reached the stage where it is starting to backfire and have the reverse effect to that intended. The incongruity of the continued attack advertises the campaign's overtly destructive agenda and is starting to lend Spreadcoin an “underdog” appeal where none previously existed. Cheers Graham |

So has the community just written off Mr. Spread then?
No option but to do exactly that if the community wants to move on. Like no one has a single clue where he went?
I went through his posts, picking out mentions of the specific changes he'd made and other references to his technical intentions. At one point he writes “I have to go to work” which implies he has an employer. It's possible that this employer became aware of the Spreadcoin development activity and they gave him a choice, walk away from it or else. By far and away, he's not the first dev to go AWOL and at least he seems to have genuinely gone completely, there are other altcoins where the sole dev has simply lost interest and switched allegiance to a different coin.

Strangely, I get a "This Connection is Untrusted" error and the version without https:// doesn't seem to work. Google's cached version works though although the fonts are rather small. Anyway, I didn't realize there were so many coins... Pyongyangcoin? Mental Health Awareness Coin? (although I guess that one was for a justifiable cause.)
Sorry for that, it's a self-signed cert and I'm still working on the non-SSL access. Cheers Graham |

Lol. There's a lot.

so how can i get my wallet to work?
Sorry to disappoint but it's a write-off, I'm afraid. Whilst the staking weight can be controlled by reservebalance, the problem is located somewhere in the adaptation of Wincoin's tortuous proof-of-stake implementation and it's just not worth the effort of tracking down the precise location. Sorry 'n all that. Cheers Graham |

So far, so good, 737 blocks mined on testnet: getinfo
{
"version" : "v1.3.0.0",
"protocolversion" : 60013,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 1827.64383561,
"newmint" : 19.00000000,
"stake" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 737,
"timeoffset" : 0,
"moneysupply" : 1846.64383561,
"connections" : 2,
"proxy" : "",
"ip" : "127.0.0.1",
"difficulty" : {
"proof-of-work" : 0.00075020,
"proof-of-stake" : 0.00024414
},
"testnet" : true,
"keypoololdest" : 1425138262,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.01000000,
"mininput" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
}
and reservebalance does appear to allow me to control the stake weight, albeit indirectly and crudely. getstakinginfo
{
"enabled" : true,
"staking" : false,
"errors" : "",
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00024414,
"search-interval" : 1,
"weight" : 0,
"netstakeweight" : 0,
"expectedtime" : -1
}
After we'd safely negotiated the dreaded block 697, I had a couple of stabs at adjusting the reservebalance to allow a small pool of coins to become eligible for staking, I guess that action re-set the eligibility so now I just gotta wait for the music to come round on the geetarr, as the man said.
