301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Litecoin 51% attacked? on: December 02, 2011, 11:31:10 PM
There was some discussion recently about Litecoin having a "dark pool" with about 55% of the network mining power. Coblee is aware of it and seems to be hiding the fact this imminent 51% threat exists to Litecoin.

It is possible this dark pool already done multiple 51% attacks as they seem to be continually stopping their mining and "doing something else for an hour or so" before resuming. Hopefully someone is monitoring the reorgs which have been occurring and determining if anyone is actually losing Bitcoins on the exchanges.

When I pointed out that ScamCoin was unlawfully using BerkeleyDB my username was changed, then banned, the threat title changed, and 2 of my posts deleted.  Just because you were too blinded to see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen (and often).

Haha yeah. It's funny when you retell the story in your head you make it out like you're some civil person when in reality you were trolling and being offensive. Move on with it, we don't want people like you active on that forum because you don't know how to act with other people. You're offensive.
303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Demoted&Banned for speaking "bad" about Solidcoin on: December 02, 2011, 11:24:19 PM
You haven't been banned flippro, you were just removed as a moderator. I think people expect a certain behaviour when you have a higher standing in the community and you failed to meet those standards. So now you're just a normal user and people won't hold you high in SolidCoin terms anymore, allowing you the freedom to speak your mind without that pressure. Better for all involved isn't it?
304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SC-GPU-mining - for all who have to pay for power on: November 25, 2011, 08:09:22 AM
I fail to see how anyone mining SC makes money on it the solidcoin site says it costs 20-30 cents a piece to produce the coins and they are selling for 3 to 5 cents a piece so a loss no matter what method of mining used.

http://solidcoin.info/ the October 27, 2011 update along the side states the cost to produce.

Yeah that's the rough cost when taking into account all costs, energy, hardware, labor. It costs about 15c to produce a SolidCoin when you pay 10c per kilowatt hour. Upto 30c depending upon energy costs. This is somewhat dependent upon the difficulty modifier also, the greater it is from 0 the more accurate it is.

i talked about profitable SC-CPU-mining  Wink

here we are to calculate

thx to http://allchains.info/calc.html

Core-i7-2600k
180 KH/s / 80 w / Diff 57776 / $/KwH: 0.20 / Cost/Day: $0.384  
Coin/Day: 16 ---> x $0.04 = $0.64
Net Profit/Day: $0.256

i can't see the production-costs of "20-30 cents"/coin, when i calculated correct, the price is: 2.4 cents  Smiley

now its easy to sum up, that a coin produced with 2.4 cents brings profit when you sell it for
"3 to 5 cents" Grin

Your whole computer uses only 80w to produce 180KH/s? I think you are off by at least 2, likely 3 with those numbers Smiley

Energy isn't the only cost in producing SC either, hardware, labor, etc.

Since RS controls the control nodes and the control nodes control the block chain and the block chain controls the currency, RS controls the currency. At a whim, he could undo transactions and lock wallet addresses out of the system.

He's already proven that.

You can "undo" transaction in EVERY cryptocurrency by overwriting a block by remining it, nothing new here.

Wait what... you expect these guys to even know how Bitcoin works? Let alone SolidCoin which is even more complicated? Come on, too much credit Tongue
307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! on: November 22, 2011, 10:49:00 PM
Anyone thinking these changes are in any way like SolidCoin, doesn't know enough about SolidCoin.

Say it with me....  "Voluntary."

That's a bit like saying it's voluntary to update to a new SolidCoin version to get past a checkpoint. If someone cannot reliably send a transaction over the network I would say you are forcing them to update to use pretty much the main feature of a p2p cryptocurrency, sending money. A client which joins the network using an older version, can only connect to 8 other clients. If all of those clients have new rules for relaying transactions it's quite possible that new client will be unable to send some transactions out.
308  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: November 22, 2011, 01:48:28 PM
You don't know who it is, but you know there is one and they have no interest in communicating with you. I noticed it is now, not an impossibility for me to have that many SC, just highly unlikely. What has softened your stance on that in the past few days... Grin

Again don't really know what you are trying to imply there, is there some big secret conspiracy I should be aware of I'm not?

Of course it's possible for you or anyone to have 800,000 SolidCoins. There is 2.6 million minted, and 800,000 is less than 2.6 million.

The largest holder I know of I talk with regularly so again I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You always try to speak in these "sly ways" trying to imply these big secret things are going on in your world, like you're a spy of mystery or something. Is your life that dull you need to invent this sort of stuff?

If you truly cared about Solidcoin and wanted to see it succeed, you would immediately turn over all the source code to people like Ahimoth, Viperjbm, sp0tter or BrightSky and walk away. There are a lot people with superior Dev Skills, clearer Vision and better PR abilities in the SC Community than you. You are the number 1 problem with Solidcoin (again, all of the previous are you own people's words)

Haha, all source code is turned over, the only thing which isn't are the private keys to the CPF and some of the trusted accounts.

Unfortunately none of those people you mention (except sp0tter, which I have no idea why you threw that name in there) want to take my "Role" or if they did, they don't have the time for it. But if you want you can keep field testing viable replacements for me if you want. Like I said from the start of SC2, I'm not going to be "Leading" forever, it's not something I want to do and it shouldn't be done by just one person. It's just the way it is right now.

I still don't know what harm can be done to you by showing you have 800,000 SolidCoins like you have claimed though, if anything it would give you a greater say in SolidCoin things don't you think? People would actually say, "hey, bitcoinexpress isn't lying about having SolidCoins like everyone thought" Yet you don't want to prove it and everyone keeps thinking you are a liar, quite odd really.

Did you know I have 3 million bitcoins?
309  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: November 22, 2011, 01:04:48 PM
I do know the largest SolidCoin holder, unfortunately it isn't you. Or I guess it could be you, provided you just move what you have to show us how rich you are.

But I'm guessing you never actually want to prove you are wealthy in SolidCoin, just imply it for some sort of social engineering reason. "OooOoo watchout or the spooky Bitcoinexpress will crash the market with his fake million coins OoOooo" . Smiley
Surely it'd be a huge tactical mistake for BitcoinEXpress to show her SolidCoin wealth prior to reaching well over a million coins if she is doing what she claims, because then you could take action to counter her? I generally reckon that it'd be safer for anyone intending to make themselves a trusted node in this way to present it as a fait accompli in order to deter the other trusted nodes from throwing obstacles in their way.

Of course any excuse can be invented for why he doesn't need to "Show the SC". Anything to cover the truth which is he doesn't have them. You don't think he could upset more people by showing he has as much as he says, or getting his "coins taken off him" by the evil mastermind (ie me) ? Seriously?

But like I said, any attacker will soon need over 12 million (up from the current 1.2 million) to do anything malicious (only 2.6 million minted currently), and they will also need half of the mining power. Good luck to them.


Anyone can do a Bitcoinexpress if they want.

"I have 6 million Bitcoins I will put them in escrow, if you do <something impossible> you can have them"
"I know important people"
"I control google search engine results"
"You seriously don't know how powerful I am"
"I just PMd your friends on facebook, you got doxed bro"
"I'm so important I created this alter ego called Lanie Grace to troll fans of an unpopular TV series called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"
"I know SEO, it's like Karate for the internet"

What? You don't believe me? Booooo why not?

Wow a totally different tone from your usual arrogant bastard mode of operation. Your people are doing more than just disagreeing with you, they are naming you as the number one problem with Solidcoin.

I knew you wouldn't take on the challenge as you are well aware that someone, maybe me has a huge wallet of SC2. I'm telling you right now I am building up a wallet to a million SC2 and anticipate on being there in the next 2-3 months on the outside. At that time I will totally debunk the statement that anyone can be a trusted node.

After that I will use it to totally devastate the SC market for a long time. A million SC will provide a lot of market crashes LOL...

Firstly they are not "my people", we are all the same people working towards a common goal. There is a secession plan in place already for me. Unfortunately I don't have unlimited time to devote to every project that I'm interested in and I've already given 5 months of my life to SolidCoin.

I do know the largest SolidCoin holder, unfortunately it isn't you. Or I guess it could be you, provided you just move what you have to show us how rich you are.

But I'm guessing you never actually want to prove you are wealthy in SolidCoin, just imply it for some sort of social engineering reason. "OooOoo watchout or the spooky Bitcoinexpress will crash the market with his fake million coins OoOooo" . Smiley

Provided you run your trusted node in the interests of the chain you can take a place producing those blocks once you get a million coins, like anyone else can. However if you're implying you want to be malicious it's actually going to take you even longer to get the ~12 million coins needed to do that, and 50% of the network power. There is a reason people are investing in SolidCoin over other p2p currencies, it's actually much more secure. And as unlikely as it is that you do have 800000 coins, there is a reason you would have that if you're a smart businessman, you know what will be the leading online currency going forward.
311  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: November 22, 2011, 11:55:09 AM
So BitcoinExpress tells people he has 800,000 SolidCoins, that he had 400 AWS instances mining at SolidCoin 2 start and was 51% attacking it (before he knew the trusted node mechanism), that he has 2 million BTC, that he's a woman, that he can control google search engine results, that he's a programmer (but now he isn't anymore), that he knows Bill Gates, knew Steve Jobs and that he's a millionaire.

At what point does any reasonable person start to realize this guy likes to tell a fib or two? Smiley

Check out :- http://www.solidtools.net/

It has all the account info, how many transactions have gone into and from the CPF, and a variety of other information relating to your own SolidCoin addresses, created by one of many SolidCoin supporters. Everyone can see the trust accounts haven't been spent because the blockchain tells you, the code tells you how it can operate. It's not a secret, the source code is available for all to read and many already have.


I can always tell when I hit a nerve with CH. Did you notice that in the quote by FlipPro, a Solidcoin Forum Mod and Staff member that you are called a PR mistake and it is established that a group of your inner circle isn't really pleased with your leadership and looking to ditch you?

FWIW I agree you haven't spent any of the trusted nodes funding....YET.

Maybe because it is worth next to nothing and the market depth looks like a puddle compared to the Bitcoin ocean. I noticed you simply said you haven't spent and didn't say cannot spend. No one outside your little cult believes you anyway on that.

Here's another put up or STFU moment for you. Just like the last three or four you will leave this one unanswered.

I wil put up 50,000 BTC against 2 Million of your SC 2.0 in trusted escrow. If I can't move more than 500,000 SC2 in the block explorer as well as sending to a trusted party, you can keep the 50,000 BTC. If I can, I get to keep the 2 Million supposedly unspendable SC2.

Put up or STFU. You have been called out.



There has been alot of stupid decisions made by RS from a marketing/public relations perspective. Me and other people in the community were very vocal about this, and many of the problems of "total RS control" are being fixed.

Even your own people are seeing you for what you are.

I don't see anything wrong with people criticizing me on things I've done, is that really a big deal to be criticized? Hopefully any reasonable person takes on whatever people are criticizing if it's worthwhile and grow from it. Other times the person criticizing isn't doing it from the most educated position and will grow themselves.

As much as I'd like to call you out on your "I have 800000 solidcoins" both you and I know I don't have 2 million SolidCoins to put in escrow. So how would it be done exactly? You expect me to have 80% of all SolidCoins created? Wouldn't that mean you don't have 800000 SolidCoins if that was the case? That's a big LOL up there with your "I'm going to kill SolidCoin off google" post. There's at least 50 people that have more SolidCoins than I do.

How about you just move the coins and show us, nothing is going to happen to your coins if you do have them, print this post if you're worried about it. Anyone that has legitimate coins will have no fears in SolidCoin, even if I or some other developer doesn't like you. It's a part of our constitution.
312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! on: November 22, 2011, 11:06:48 AM
The point is spending those coins will slow down the client right now b/c it takes forever to collect enough 0.00000001 LTC to make up a large enough value to send. So I changed the create transaction code to ignore these tiny values by default to speed things up. If you really want to spend them and wait forever for the client to create the transaction, you can by passing in a tiny min input.

You could also ignore these transactions (under the min amount) when checking blocks for wallet transactions. It will help improve the general performance of the wallet going forward too.

314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 04:20:56 PM
I designed SolidCoin v2.0 so that it could protect itself against government threats, the highest level of attacks we may face if very successful.

You made it more vulnerable to government threats.  You are aware government have this thing called money.  Money that could be exchanged for ScamCoins.  Once they have 51% of the control ScamCoins they control the network.

Except by the time they see SolidCoin as a threat the people with the most money will be people who share the values of people like you and myself. There is only a limited amount of coins in existence and if they are owned by people with the right values then there is nothing a government can do.

Your argument that it makes it less secure than bitcoin is pretty stupid though. You do realize you need both MINING and MONEY to attack SolidCoin. In Bitcoin you only need mining. In essence to attack SolidCoin you need a lot more investment and if it goes as expected people with the right values will have the most "money" in the system. We are starting from scratch here, Rothschild isn't given SolidCoins from birth, nor are the Rockafellas. If you want to make a difference to that shit then you need to start helping instead of taking your current position.
315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 04:14:05 PM
Let me ask you a question, was Bitcoin centralized when it was only 10 people running it? Is Bitcoin centralized now that 3 cop pools control 80% of the network?

 Let me ask you an honest question. No trolling.

 Why should we trust you as the central authority for SolidCoin ?

 Why do you keep making the point that 3 pools have 80% of the hashing power ? The likelihood of even two of those pools getting together in a coordinated attack is a rather mind-boggling proposal.


Well it depends what you mean by central authority. As the developer of a new product, I, using my experience and those of others implemented *ideas*. This of course makes most of the protocol, etc, centralized ideas. Just like satoshis first version was centralized with his magic values and protocol.

I designed SolidCoin v2.0 so that it could protect itself against government threats, the highest level of attacks we may face if very successful. To me there is no point in doing something if you don't have answers for problems. You don't really need to trust me to have your SolidCoins secure, that is the thing. If you think the network and protocol runs through a central authority you are probably misguided from ill informed people here.

Perhaps if people realized my values are anti system and anti bank they will realize why I made SolidCoin. If you want to live in lala land thinking Bitcoin is "the answer" to the banks and system then there isn't much I can do besides to continue to educate people. If you really want to bring an end to this shit you need real answers and real protection against the threats these types of currencies will face. Anyone who has been running Bitcoin over the last month can surely start to see cracks appearing in it with its 2 hour blocks and slow network. Bitcoin is no threat to banks or governments, they can own it at any moment they want.

Anyone using the SolidCoin client immediately notices the difference in performance and speed, and they can rest at night knowing their coins won't disappear or that someone will rewrite history and kill a chain by taking all the wealth from the system.
316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 04:04:01 PM
1) You have indicated in the past they could be refilled when asked what happens when they run out of money.  What would happen if the balance of all trusted nodes fell below 1M SC and no "real millionaire" existed?  The entire network would halt forever?

Yes the entire network would halt until the code was fixed.

Just like how in Bitcoin the same would happen if difficulty was increased to 100 million by the government.

I said the trust accounts could in the future be refilled if code was added to support it. Currently those trust accounts cannot be moved in ANY way, including collecting donations to themselves. So it would be impossible _currently_ to do such a thing with them. They are really locked down.

2) You can force any change to the network.  If ever there was a need for you to continue to retain absolute control you could remove the restriction, you could change the even block protocol so it refills the trusted node automatically.  You could increase the limit for what makes a trusted node (to lock out competitors).  You could remove the restrctions on spending funds from trusted node.  You could increase the kings ransom from 10% to 30% or any amount to ensure you will always be in complete control of the network.

If a single person controls the funds & the keys there is no checks and balances.  Just obfuscation.

This is incorrect because I don't run all the trust nodes. All decisions need to be agreed upon by those holders or they could decide not to support the changes and chaos would ensue. These 10 trust accounts are a short term measure to get us into the real millionaire realm, it's not a permanent thing by any mean which is why they are designed to die.

And you would still override them by having >1M coins.  Also you could at any time change that if you wanted to just like you can change any aspect of the network on a whim.

No, they need a majority of trust money if they want to force decisions on the network. Think of SolidCoin as two forces fighting, both mining and money, you need both to attack the network which is why it's so secure. Without mining power the trust nodes really have nothing and vice versa.

Just as trust nodes can not accept certain blocks non trust nodes don't have to accept trust node blocks if they don't meet criteria of their choosing. You are really simplifying things if you don't realize you need both forces working together, those with the money and those with the mining power.
317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 03:51:22 PM
You can argue however that the CPF is 5% centralization, and I agree with that. There is a current 5% economic centralization in SolidCoin.
Try again, it's centralized on 10 (or so) trusted nodes. Doesn't sound like 5% economic centralization.

Given real solid has the private keys for all 10 and can move funds between them even the 10 is obfuscation.

There is a single effective trust control node.  It is completely under the control of Real Solid.  It will enforce any change made by him at anytime.  Anyone who fails to upgrade is locked out of the network.

The even blocks were never about trust.  The concept of trusting the rich, because they are rich is dubious on face value.
The even blocks are about complete and absolute control of the network both now and into the future.

Again if you could read C++ you would see that isn't the case. Go get an education before pretending to know things.
318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 03:49:16 PM
They can be refilled.  You are simply moving money from one pocket you control into another pocket you control (w/ added bonus of each time you do it you gain some -5% vs +10%).    There will be no other trusted node for years.  Even if there is your fiat trusted nodes can veto them.  In effect there is only a single control node and you control it.  That won't be changing for years and most likely will never change.

What are you basing that on? That they can be refilled? If you read the source you would see they currently cannot be refilled.

Since you refuse to educate yourself I assume you are posting because you're a troll. Yeah?


The difference is people have a choice. They can choose to mine elsewhere.  With your "control nodes" there is no choice.  You could change block reward to 200,000 tomorrow or eliminate it all together.  The control node (lets drop the dubiousness of plural) will enforce that change.  You can halt the network, block transactions, increase the kings tax to 30%, remove the "restriction" on 12M premine, create an even block giving you 100,000 coins, and nobody can stop or alter that.   If they don't accept the change and upgrade the client the control nodes lock them out.

It isn't "kinda centralized".  It is complete and absolute centralized control by a single person.

People can choose to invest themselves with a million SC and become a trust node. No one is stopping them. So they also have a choice. Not sure of your point, you fail to understand some basic SolidCoin principles.

No, you're confusing accounts for nodes. The same accounts can be run on many nodes.

320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 02, 2011, 03:42:48 PM
CH, you're a blithering fool if you can't discern between centralization built into the protocol (sc), and decentralization built into the protocol (Btc).

If you think having trust nodes is centralization then I can argue that having mining clients is also centralization. Non mining clients are forced to accept what the mining clients tell them. Scary isn't it.

The fact is the network in SolidCoin is not centralized at all. It's peer to peer, no other node needs to know who is signing trust blocks, they appear on the network and they accept them, just like non mining bitcoin clients accept mining blocks. There is zero difference.

You can argue however that the CPF is 5% centralization, and I agree with that. There is a current 5% economic centralization in SolidCoin. If you want to state facts, then do so, you really need to stop with your nonsense.
