Just sent Datacoin to all above the message. I have some more DTC to give here away just now (near 20), so hurry!

You're right, volumes are extremely low now. I hope that Cryptsy will have enough interest (though they are so worried about blockchain size), also we have conversation with btc38 in progress. So let's see.
This is good to hear. Now it's still holidays time, many people are on vacations, so we cannot contact them. But in 2-3 days we should return to normal work mode. |

Guys, I've seen several concepts for overwriting\deleting 'old' or 'unnecessary' files. But it breaks the whole concept of Datacoin. Look: someone uploaded some kind of Wikileaks archive to Datacoin, then hackers who work for government accessed his computer got his keys and deleted this info. It will be practically the same as Dropbox\GDrive storage: if someone gets your credentials, he can delete any info he wants, it breaks the whole concept.
And I've talked many times about 'proof-of-storage', just now there are no ways to avoid cheating like creating bunch of VPS that are linked to one blockchain - 'I have 1000 machines with Datacoin', and actually it will be 1 copy of blockchain and many virtual machines linked to it.
Talking about colored chain - will it be secure and reliable?
I'm not arguing with you, it is just my point of view. I'm not head developer, maybe he will read our threads and see some features to implement. But just now I have opinion as described above.

Datacoin of course.
We're not hyping it, but many-many new features, platforms and applications are being prepared for release.

It seems there was some activity with Datacoin local HTTP server Yep, I also noticed this on git. Hopefully we'll have realization of 'big data' functionality together with full HTTP Datacoin server. Supercomputing, check your PM |

1. It's good that Datacoin now doesn't go to 'strange' persons who want to hurt Datacoin with such 'attack'. When Datacoin big promotions start, its price should rise, and it will be really very stupid to waste money in such a way. But it is another side of 'uncensored' storage: can you offer any mechanism to avoid that and be sure that nobody from governments or corporations cannot censor information? I don't see such alternative just now. 2. We know. Cryptsy's last answer was 'we're considering about big blockchain', 2 weeks passed - still no info from them. And btw, there is very good answer for CP on reddit pigtrotsky:
The process of getting the data into the blockchain is effectively steganography, the hiding of one piece of data within another. The data is neither catalogued nor readily accessible - it goes through base64 encoding and needs to be addressed using a key, and is sandwiched inbetween a bunch of other blockchain data. The fact nobody really knows the full content of most blockchains in entirety owes to the complex and vast nature of the data, and this would be no different.
First question for me is why would someone bother. Not only would it cost them real money either in the mining of coin using resources and electricity or buying the coins, but now you have a picture/document/whatever embedded in a huge block chain with an effectively anonymous hash which needs to be converted back to its original format. People who currently distribute illegal material very probably already have a cheaper and more convenient mechanism available.
Arguably many people had illegal content on their hard drives when they downloaded the wikileaks insurance files for example. But without encryption keys it's just 0 and 1 data. Sure it might contain illegal content but authorities would not only have to prove it were there but that it were accessible to the user.
There has long been legal precedent in most countries that someone who handles data in a way that is "pass through" and not actual accessible content, and someone who does not make an effort to access or make that information available, is simply a carrier. People do WAY more risky stuff every day for no gain such as running tor exit nodes.
If you don't want to handle the blockchain you shouldn't have to. In terms of datacoin my interpretation of the concept of the blockchain is that those who work to compile the information in get rewarded. I know there's talk about future proof of stake but I believe that's irrelevant. Someone who wants to continue to hold the information will get rewards in the future just for adding to the blockchain through processing blocks, and given the self contained nature of the blockchain I can't see why the rest (transactions, etc) couldn't be done without holding it locally.
In fact it's an idea I am working on now - encrypt the wallet and put it into the blockchain protected by passphrase, no need for any central point of trust. I see the potential issue (one compromise and the address is forever compromised) but smarter people than I will surely find a way of beefing up the security even more, and it's still better than having my wallet sitting on someone else's server potentially unprotected as with current online wallet services.
Final final point on this - consider the motives of someone distributing illegal data. To encode illegal images for example would be incredibly stupid. Firstly, they're not anonymous - if the police were to get their private key / wallet they could absolutely and unequivocally tie that person to the distribution given the cryptographic mechanism - ie you would have just paid money to essentially have thousands of people worldwide spend CPU hours PROVING it was you who sent it. Secondly, it's now effectively immutable. You have now sent it in a way that you can't possibly delete the evidence, and therefore pretty much sealed your fate.
Anyone who does this on purpose would be incredibly stupid in my eyes. |

Datacoin is NOT 'Strictly CPU!'
Its smelted away at least 10x faster as the fastest CPU you have...
Proofs please! |

Hi BitJohn. Are you still worrying about Datacoin blockchain size? Any news\offers\comments about DTC?
|
|
|
|
sorry, maybe I cannot notice something, but what's wrong with this block? |
|
|
|
Can someone explain me why this block 132212 had a reward of 20DTC but without files? i dont get how blockchain/rewards works. where can i read this stuff.
I think you can get advanced info from their forum. Don't know about this 20DTC reward, how did you notice it? |

How can i install Math::Pari on windows?
Why do you need that? Perl modules for datacoin-browser? You need to install strawberry perl, and read about modules installing , eg http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html |

still returning to you with Datacoin

I have some more coins to give, so hurry!
Sent coins to all addresses above this msg
|

we also have shitcoin, why do we need crapcoin?  |
