This coin looks more and more like a scam,a sophosicated scam.
so called 'solo mining' huh?
Here is the pool -- http://spr.nonce-pool.com/

How did I know.

It's your sickpuppet, how could you not know?

Did I miss anyone's response to my questions about Mr. Spread's missing 80k ? Links please. Smiley

Are you a recent purchaser of the Hippie Tech a/c? I'd have expected a hero member to know to read carefully the first couple of months posts because that's when scamdevs invariably give themselves away. Had you read the posts, you wouldn't be asking the questions. I would also have expected a hero member to have noted palmdetroit's commit of diffplot code to the cpuminer1.2 branch and taken account of that fact. I'd also expect a hero member to draw from a variety of sources such as the darkcointalk thread on Spreadcoin and have seen: “After seeing this thread here, I took the time to read the Spreadcoin thread and evaluate their devs code. It is very clean, intelligent, advanced code. He is certainly legit.”

But anyway, FTR:

What do you find normal about a difficulty adjustment algo that decided to take a hike during the first 65 minutes after launch ?
Can't see much to object to here, it's a p2p application and once the blockchain is out in the open, how it proceeds from there is a collective choice formed by the actions of the community members. The move was discussed and the community endorsed the dev's action by the majority switching to the new blockchain.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions that SPR has been extensively easymined by what appears to be, a select few.
Well, that just goes to show you that appearances can be deceptive. The first block of SPR I mined was block 4492, transaction e091....df5f timed at 9:31:46 on the 14th August 2014. This was two weeks after the launch and two weeks before Mr Spread announced that he'd lost his stash. I mined about 140 blocks between the morning of 14th Aug and midnight on the 17th and sporadically every few days thereafter. The last was on the 1st October, bringing the total to 4113.

My mining rig is my laptop, an Acer Aspire v5-571:



So, now everyone knows what h/w the “select few” use to ruthlessly plunder innocent new altcoins.

So Mr. Spread "lost" 80k flash/insta/easymine (may as well call it a PREMINE), eh ? How many others were duped into donating ?
Call it “Bernard” if you like, it's still inaccurate. And you're being offensive in describing members of the community as dupes.

Hmph, wasted my time with this. If only out of respect for yourself and your fellow Spreadcoinmates, perhaps you could aim to be a little more choosy in your wording.

Look hard before you leap: first thoroughly acquaint yourself with the details of the product purchase agreement.

The product purchase agreement refers to “Cleverhash Technologies, Corp” but there appears to be no independent supporting evidence for the existence of this specific corporation and I believe it’s mandatory for a legally-constituted corporation in the US to provide information on board members, liability limitations, etc.

“Corporations, LLCs, and LPs are formed by filing a certificate of formation with the secretary of state. Corporations are owned by shareholders, managed by a board of directors, and administered by officers.” <- TX business formation FAQ, can't be all that different for GA.

I make a point of always checking the official records.

btw, according to the FAQ, X14 isn't one of the anticipated supported hashfn combos:

”Currently our X15 Triple X chip will only output X11, X13 and X15.”

Graham - what probability would you assign to AGI-5 in 5 years?

Alix, I have no opinion to offer. My perspective on intelligence is informed by cognitive psychology and it differs so profoundly from yours that the question makes about as much sense to me as if you'd asked “What wood makes the best divining rod?”

I'm outta here, no sense in talking past each other endlessly.

You describe yourself as a rationalist. Unfortunately, you're as mistaken in that as you are in pretty much everything else.
Higgins, I've read through some of your posting history and I can see that you are an intelligent - and normally civil - guy.  There's no need to get angry.  

Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't even have posted. I've had 30 years to learn the essential futility.

estimate the performance necessary for replicating all of the cortex, as it has a uniform architecture bollocks

...

machine learning is already making steady exponential progress Patently untrue, do you know what the word means?

...

what future evidence would cause you to update that to a high"higher", enough with the heavy-handed framing probablility? any evidence of advances in the understanding of the G in AGI (see below).

...

an AI 'app' that has true adult human level intelligence - like Samantha from Her Er, you seem to have gotten out of your depth, you offer fallacy in place of logic and fantasy in place of reality. You're either ignorant or careless of the "no true scotsman" fallacy and you reference a model of AI developed by a movie scriptwriter LOL

...

Say in 5 years, you experience an AI 'app' that has intelligence - but only that of a 5 year old.  I've no idea what you think is to be gained by this orgasm of conjecture but it's certainly not a rationalist's argument, it's unfounded speculation about an as-yet-invisible near-term major breakthrough. And what do you mean: "only that of a five year old"? What towering, empty, casual, blind arrogance. Not a parent, are you? ROFL

...

initially its just simulating infant brains that don't do much, and certainly aren't interesting yet You consider the cognitive plasticity of infants to be uninteresting yet anticipate the development of AGI in ML in just a decade or two? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Please stop, it hurts.


You might want to educate yourself a bit more about the G in AGI, at least do yourself the favour of reading the commonsense problem page and Vaughan Pratt's very accessible notes on the commonsense reasoning problems observable in Lenat's CYC.

Frankly, I see only simplistic models of intelligence and media-fuelled infantilism; a modern version of the media's feasting off Mary Shelley's fantastical monster and the simplistic models of physiology that underpinned it.

I hope this idea will reborn in new project in future.

Well yeah, we'd better do something collectively. Otherwise Shadow_Runner's idea is likely to be quickly appropriated by someone with far fewer scruples and launched as short-PoW exchange fodder.

Some factors: i) there's a pre-loved mission statement from an unrelated earlier effort in the domain: “Give peace a chance”; ii) I'm not alone in recognising the potential of the meme and the nascent community that's already in place iii) Shadow_Runner probably has more positive exposure on this board than anyone else I know.

So, unless there are any compelling objections, I'm going to create a Github organisation a/c https://github.com/peacebit-project as a placeholder for development work and I'll populate it with some trivially-replaceable candidate code. PM me if you want to be added to the organisation membership.

Now, according to my dim understanding of established procedure, the next three weeks are to be taken up with screechingly incoherent arguments over PoW vs PoS and which algo to use.

In the meantime, there are some other things I'd like to consider ...

Q1: Is this to be primarily a miners' coin (like Mooncoin) or a users' coin (like Dogecoin)? <- A question about brand identity and values

Q2: Does Peacebit need anon tx? <- (as above)

You know that everyone of us started as a sperm once?

Er, there's an egg involved too but I dare say details of the distaff side remain a bit of a mystery to the basement-dwellers around here.

Could I persuade you move well away from the juvenile humour? It's sounded the death-knell for too many altcoins to count -- e.g.

Fuckcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421182.msg8821472#msg8821472

To be perfectly honest, we underestimated the reservations against the fuck word. Most of the major exchanges are US based and we thought people were more open in 2014. We had it all, the initial lol moment, people were digging fuckcoin, but no exchange, no matter how hard we tried, was willing  to add fuckcoin with the FUCK symbol. We even heard of refunded BTC "exchange votes" from the community. This is why there was no update on the fuckcoin wallet.

You couldn't make it up. Fuckwit creates Fuckcoin: all-time fuck-up, fuck all interest, fucked-over investors, fuckin' A, man.

Anyone of our support staff would be happy to answer any questions and allay any concern regarding our Service, process, and legal relationship to our Clients.

I guess I wasn't clear enough: this is a case of “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” and is way above any staffer's pay grade, this is boss-talk.

The content of Blocktrust's privacy and t&c pages on the web site references an unidentified entity called “Blocktrust”. It is this entity that undertakes to implement and maintain the data protection for blocktrust.org visitors. If the entity remains unidentifiable, the assertions of protection are simply unenforceable and are consequently baseless. The end result is that visitors are entitled to no protection whatsoever, a perfectly predictable outcome of the failure to identify the legal entity that purports to make these assertions.

Whilst nature might abhor a vacuum, she finds irony irresistible and it is splendidly ironic that Blocktrust fails to meet the standards of transparency that it apparently expects of the coin developers it assesses.

You want us to trust Blocktrust's say-so - so exactly who is Blocktrust and, more to the point, why is Blocktrust apparently being so secretive about its legal constitution? If it's a limited liability company, who are the directors and where is the registered office?

Wearing my tinfoil hat and clutching a black swan, I find myself speculating on the possibility that, behind the scenes, Blocktrust could conceivably be owned and controlled by a bobslurpus and there's no way us chickens could ever find out.

not sure if legit

Well, there's a term to throw around ...

There's no canonically-identifiable legal entity described anywhere in the reams of self-protecting boilerplate legalese (apparently authored by an alumni of the greengrocer's' school of writing), all we get is “blocktrust.org”. AFAICT, the outfit runs out of one of Dubai's FTZ legal fabrications. The end result is layers and layers of administrative obfuscation that effectively form an impenetrable protective screen between you and them and, if you've been unlucky, your hard-earned money.

Personally, I find it impossible to come up with any reasons for this kind of Byzantine pseudo-corporate legal protection other than the obvious - it's completely opaque and it tilts the playing field overwhelmingly to their advantage and to everyone else's disadvantage.

It's not even necessarily ill-intentioned, it's just that by (carefully?) failing to identify the legal entity making this offer, they effectively prevent any legally-enforceable contracts from being made. In essence, they have (equally carefully?) stripped away all your legal protection --- for everything, incl. privacy.

No canonically identifiable vendor = no contract. No contract = no redress. No redress = very high risk factor.

Cheers
