Being able to read and interpret the data of multiple chains in one client is the first step towards being able to bridge them. Service nodes can potentially be bridging points between chains ie send one coin, receive another.

Exciting stuff

When you say "being able to bridge them", isn't that what "Ripple/xrp" will do?  And MS is adding a Ripple validator node to Azure.

Why on earth would I touch that nonsense? WE do decentralized solutions.

BTC is anything but decentralized anymore!!
With Ripple(XRP) they will have plenty of independent validators online and therefore be more decentralized than BTC in the near future.

I'm just doing some research into the proportion of full Bitcoin nodes that are owned by coporations.  I'm starting to discover that Bitcoin is far more centralised than many people realise.  Will post my findings when I'm done.

Is this some of what your talking about?

While we are making our case to Poloniex, does anybody have any suggestions for alternative exchanges?  I like Bittrex but I really want us to have more than one exchange.

https://bter.com/, https://therocktrading.com/ or look at crypto outlets like https://bittylicious.com/

or, dare I say it..... Yeah, f/*k it  Grin

Try getting a Ripple gateway to accept them:

Advice needed.
I'm unable to upgrade my qrk wallet to the latest version, I'm using Ubuntu 15.04. When I try to compile the new wallet I get an error, any ideas?

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing

I have googled it but I'm still stuck

apt-get install libdb++-dev

Cheers
now this. Think I'm now using the wrong DB (5.1)

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore)

have added "--with-incompatible-bdb", seems to be working?



Yes, that is no Problem

It hasn't worked, going to uninstall and try again tomorrow  Huh Any advice would be good  Cool

From the everyday Joe's point of view, decentralised/centralised won't come into it. They won't really understand/care how it works as long as it works. Sorry just the way it is.

I tend to agree with you. It also turned out that most people don't care about anonymity.

Not to beat around the bush, that looks like conjecture masquerading as fact - is there any supporting evidence?

Cheers

I agree, it's just that some people have a pretty pessimistic outlook about their fellow human beings.

But I would argue that most people just didn't yet make a real effort to understand the consequences of losing their privacy/anonymity. (bread and circuses keeps them distracted)
Or what it means when centralized institutions get to manage other peoples lifes more and more, instead of having individuals act on their own behalf (decentralization).


I wouldn't say "pessimistic outlook" more "realistic outlook" of their fellow human beings. But I do agree totally with your comment.
That is why I didn't think money transfer/conversion using SPR was a good idea for the future, I liked the 2nd tier/big data aspect. No AML/KYC.

Q. If Ripple is centralised and SPR is decentralised, working at different ends of the spectrum, why couldn't they work together? One enhancing the other and vice versa?? If we want to win the masses over then we have to work with the current system, not to replace it. That will come in time.  Wink   

This is why I think Ripple will be good for all crypto's in the near future, as they will become legit in the mind of the masses as they're accepted by the banks/Fi's/Gov's. This will have a good knock on effect for all crypto's, then hopefully people will start to take an interest in the blockchain & IoT as a whole.

Watch: 1984 ..... It's just business.




The question about winning over the masses always intrigues me.

Did Google need to do anything in particular to win over the masses? Nothing beyond making a really good service that was easy to use and was freely available.

In an electronic world, there is no reason why a crypto client could not actually be your fiat bank account. It's just a matter of connvecrivty and regulatory processes.

I think you're understated what Google actually did for the internet, Google didn't just make a really good service that was easy to use and was freely available. They revolutionised search engines and the internet, in doing so made a multi billion $$$$ industry out of it. Google understood BIG data. Amazing!

 Grin

I believe the crypto client you talk about will be Ripple(XRP) and as I said before, this will be good for all crypto's. Ripple is agnostic so can support all ledgers, surely SPR being a 2nd tier BTC crypto this would be of interest? If SPR was a 2nd tier on Ripple, wouldn't that give access to ALL ledgers BTC, LTC, USD, XRP etc? Really really BIG data.

Yes, of course.
Ask anyone on your street how money is created? 99% won't know, and don't care as long as they have a "fist full of Dollars". Ask them, do they encrypt their HDD/SSD? do they encrypt their internet connection? The answer will be NO again, then ask them, do they want to know how to. And the answer will be NO.
The heard will be chipped and fully tracked in the near future, today they use our phones masquerading as a useful tool for the people.

GCHQ, NSA, CIA, MI6, They are watching and listening to everything we ALL do....... And only a handful of people actually seem to care.

I have tried to convince my family and friends....... So far only 2xfriends have gone into (XRP & SPR), everyone else just laughs and say "Oh, Simon you are funny, digital money replacing REAL money. asif".

WTF is REAL money? It's just a perception pushed onto us all by the system.

In the UK, we have a real problem with our politicians and children, which they KEEP covering up!!! Look into it, no one else seems to care anymore. Why would they care about decentralised/centralised???  

THEY STILL TRUST THE CURRENT SYSTEM. FACT.

 Shocked

I think the U.S.A foreign policy is nonsense, but I still buy/sell USD (I'd be stupid not too) aswell as CAD, GBP, BTC, LTC, XRP, SPR etc

Isn't Ripple/XRP semi centralized?

Edit:

I think this is pretty accurate about Ripple. They are more centralized because of all the regulations they are complying with in order to combat anti money laundering and other know your customer type of compliance. Also, if you look at their advisory board it is composed of many in previous government positions and this will contribute to their centralized aspect of work. Big companies that play by Wall Street rules and are in bed with government to some extent are also within some of the investors of this new institutional digital currency. But even with this Ripple will bring much benefit to average consumers as well and not just the big players.

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/40448/is-ripple-centralized-or-decentralized

So yeh, its centralized.

SPR could potentially do what ripple does without regulation or oversight.

Don't get me wrong here, I am in on SPR and I don't want to be a downer at all, but..... You say SPR could do in the future, what Ripple IS doing today, and this is with all the regulation and oversight. Ripple are way ahead in this field (x-Boarder payments), yes working with the system and it's going to happen. This will help to legitimise ALL crypto's in the mind of the everyday user, it will be good for all. imo
enduser's= 80% of worlds population that still has no idea what's going on, let alone cares anymore.

What with another possible banking crisis and terrorism and the other s*/t going on around the world.
I think it will be what the everyday person/enduser (Drone/Zombie) trusts, and that will be AML/KYC policies and probably alot more security than there is today!

decentralized second layer on top of Bitcoin and  Big Data mining is what got me excited about this coin. This is very interesting stuff indeed. Smiley
The SPR should stick to this path full steam ahead.

Hi All, New to spr as of yesterday. Been following MS/Azure because of Ripple & Etherum so spr came into view this year for me.
Love the Vanity Gen  Cool   SkUnk8jPHcwATDmyTA2fmnfwwwXekE5FXE
Where is the best place to get spr's (exchanges, giveaways), is Bittex the only 1??

Thanks

At the moment, Bittrex is the main exchange where the bulk of trading goes on. We are looking to get on Poloniex too.

Thx. Have just signed for an account with Bittex as well as filling the "add coin" form for Poloniex

After my thoughtful and inspiring submission to the Quark reddit was quashed, while other posts encouraging people to abandon their Quarks were approved there, I think I have unravelled the mystery.

This hard fork was no doubt a devious move implemented by those I will now refer to as, the 'Dark Quarkers'.

These 'Dark Quarkers' have assumed control of what little infrastructure is left to Quark, and hatched a sinister plan to let the coin languish without any visible community support throughout the year of 2015. It is likely this plan was hatched well over a year ago.

Right on schedule, a hard fork was issued in the hopes that a few remaining faithful would, as if by habit and little else, update to a version of Quark intended only to make the original Quarkcoin much rarer.

These 'Dark Quarkers' have insider information about when security flaws will be revealed in Bitcoin, meaning investors will be rushing to move their investment to another coin!

However if you have foolishly updated your Quark clients, do not think that you shall share the spoils of Quark's come from behind win.

Only if your Quark client reads 'No block source available..' do you have the greatest crypto asset the world shall ever know!

Embrace the light Quark brothers, if it is not too late..

*sent from v0.8.3.22-1-gb7395bd-dirty-beta: QbDqvirKN4PmCCNwt5XSBL5squtd8NEttY*

 Cool

I like your thinking/conspiracy! But need to see something to back this up, have a quark wallet version "quarkcoin083r2linux", is it worth upgrading or just leaving?
Almost forgot about these, been away for awhile. Was hoping to see them ON the moon or at least on the launch pad by now.  Cry
