I would think IT would be zero, the very first software maybe 1 & in a world with 1's or 0's. The development of building the original concept could be that of one or few, with each new addition to the entire software protocol & like many things in the developing world are not able to be built by one or even few now a days? It would take a lifetime or ten to blueprint the future of our worlds technology from nothing to full understanding, but possible only with the original prototypes (prehistoric lets say) & unlikely that one person or few could create something with so many points of knowledge. So having full understanding of how things work in the world are less & less over the c entries of the world, building a log cabin could be done & building lets say protocols of todays skyscrapers could not be possible by one or few. Same theory with a wagon, but not possible with say a telsa car or space shuttle & just my idea of the possible # of people in the universe that could have full understanding of the bITcoin protocol.

  PoW for 2Give isn't quite the same as normal PoW (no waste of energy), more like a master node type random PoW & everyone with the application online has a chance to earn the PoW reward. The longest online nodes + fastest to mine the PoW send blocks are unique, 1% of any 2Give sends on the blockchain are the PoW & reward anyone with the application online. There are only a few PoW blocks a day right now, but when the 2Give blockchain gets bigger & the 1% PoW starts to reward nodes online...


   Any thought on creation of a stats page in the wallet, the small icon in the bottom right has limited space to show staking info & know it's possible to show many stats that are very helpful for use of the application. Having seen a quite a few of the stats pages coded in other alternative applications

//some of these are accessible, tho a dedicated tab would be a major + to user who want stats information at hand & don't know how to use the RPC console.

Just a thought, since seeing all the stats & info without having to search here or there is a big + in my book

This one gave some old nostalgia on the testnet, mind must be getting forgetful & or this is like 2010-2012 all over again (actually the crypto note coins really had that 2010 feeling to start as well)? That bug logo kinda tells the story of testing this one, not quite the simple 2017 were heading into for easy to use GUI / plug & play interfaces. The cryptonote didn't have the perfect GUI's either in the start, nothing in software has & expecting everyone to learn command line just isn't going to happen. Don't git me wrong, learning from the basics is recommended & not always bad. Learning with things that could have possible value is one of lifes many lessons, make mistakes with this & learn very quickly to make backups often.

Seeing that multipool spike the network many times (other alts in the past), as I was mining on the P2Pool & auto switched to Hash to Cash when the price jump happen. Hash to Cash even shows on their main page,

        Diff     Net              Pool    Time est.    Progress %    LTC profit%    BTC/Gh
      6.36    372.1 Mh/s    9.1 Mh/s     47m 43s    176%    104%            0.0351),

xpool also shows the spikes if you change the chart scale from Days to Months & why the P2Pool needs more dedicated miners.

//still remember the days of mining pools & the big 51% info charts of BTC

Wow what a time space jump I just had, still remember MEGAUPLOAD & hulu before all the crazy Netflix era

U still posting, then getting deleted & moderated 

//never a dull moment on bitcointalk or any form of social media, must be just a way to bump & climb the viewers threshold 

Haha, like the bumps of topics from 2010 & users abandon their accounts (or lost passwords, hacked account, or just plain quit bitcoin)

//having redesigned the last update of the OP (as I did to 100's in 2014-2015 for practice), learning BBcode for the forum & always the hoops to jump through to git them to push the updated code (1000's of original post or ANN topics on a forum, who would have thought of just posting a new OP or ANN & not having to PM with the idea that they abandon their account or don't check in for weeks / months / years). I even tried to get developers to push all OP or ANN posted coding to github, thus showing each & every change to links & BBcoding (didn't catch on tho, but would have been great practice of showing both frontend & backend changes to the ones who seek that type of info).

Faucet donations reclaimed & ready to fill in a few months or when the faucet runs close to empty 

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/fire/block.dws?144225.htm

First week of faucet donations reclaimed & ready to fill in a month or when the faucet runs close to empty

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/tech/block.dws?153029.htm

It looks like you have many fixes in place, just had a look @ the updates & see many improvements. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next release & testing the new improvement updates. Been 2 years since I've tested Slimcoin, the download & sync didn't take long at all (solid state drive & hardwired, not wireless). No problems at all so far, the 500 confirmations was just a thought about wanting to be able to PoB or PoS sooner & have no problem with 500.

Thanks, although that was the first thing that I typed into the console a few times & came back with an error. I did however get it to work with "setgenerate true 4", been finding blocks for a few hours now & seems to be running without any errors.

//if there is an update, would the confirmations be set to something a little more realistic & not 520 (just a thought)?

I remember testing Slimcoin, the afterburn staking like PoS was great & just got caught up with the 1000's of others. Would be willing to test Slimcoin again if there is progress & already have a wallet sync'd up since the talk over the last week. Downloaded it, sync'd up & swapped my .dat from years ago. It showed that there was still effective burnt coins, only like 30 on one .dat & 10 on the other. Great concept, but do remember like many others it did have problems with forking or syncing & otherwise worked well.

//already found one block mining with the GUI, "setgenerate true" only seems to work with 4 & can't change it to 1-3?

{
"blocks" : 830663,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 0.00158252,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : 4,
"hashespersec" : -,
"networkghps" : 0.00006730,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}

Agreed, just need someone who would be willing to make some github changes & compile an update. Maybe start a development address for a dev to update the wallet, like many other coins do? There have been many possible features over the last few years, great thanks to cecilbdemented for helping in the past & keeping the coin going (4.0.0.0 & 4.0.1.0). There was talk about split block functions, but never quite happen & sure that's because of a bounty or lack of community interest. There was no ICO or premine, just a short PoW & a few developers have tried to build upon FireCoin (FIRE). Most ended up abandoning the project because it didn't go anywhere, thought about it many times & looked over the github code myself many times. I know of many options that could be added, but am not skilled in writing code & only learned to read it. Do you know of any developers who would be willing to help if the community built a development FireCoin address to sent them?

For 'Premium' currency payments processed once a day, or when claim count reached 100.
For 'Free' currency payments processed once a few days.

Anyone can claim free FIRE from the faucet, but only Premium (0.01 BTC a month) coins are sent right when the captcha code is entered & are only sent every few days. FIRE was a premium coin for a few months, just like CryptoID block explorer & just without a faucet addition. Hope that clears up the faucet, as it's been going for around 6 months now & still 200+ FIRE to claim. Thought about sending GrinZ a message & changing the 0.01 > 0.1, but having a blockchain with less than 100,000 coins makes 0.01 ideal for faucet claims.

Remember the days of cgminer or bfgminer & cgwatcher, oh the good ole days. Now most updates in GUI have made everything plug & play, don't miss the command line of mining years one bit. Somewhat like all software over the years, Windows or Mac & Linux (Linux greatly changing over the years, most people in the world don't even know there's that many operating systems).


//Still testing with low end GPU's was a bit of fun, but quickly overtaken by new hardware & or new technology
