SpartanCoin, could you please add the AskCoin SPN-BTC market to the list of exchanges? https://askcoin.net/trading/SPN/BTCIt's been there for a little while but apparently didn't make it to the first post of this thread. I e-mailed them the other day about updating their wallet, and they've done so. |

SpartanCoin, could you please try contacting Europex about the new wallet? I've posted a few messages via their ticket system, but they don't seem to be paying any attention at all. It still says "disconnected" and "We do not find any working nodes for this coin. It may be unlisted soon. If you have a working wallet, you can help us if you send you result of 'getpeerinfo' in your wallet's console. Thank you." https://www.europex.eu/#!coin/ltc/spn Doing that now. Thanks! I also just voted on Poloniex...didn't we do that before? Anyway, to make it easier for others, here are the first several fields: Name: SpartanCoin Symbol: SPN Announcement page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=491637.0Website: http://www.spartancoin.org/Block explorer: http://blockexplorer.spartancoin.org/Some reasons it's a good coin: * Dedicated dev * Community * Coin is still around after several months * Trading on c-cex has been picking up * Upcoming tools and features will enhance the coin * Any others you can think of |

It's very unlikely that the vast majority of the asics are not already running. As there is a good chance many of the asics are already run at a loss. turning them on at the same time makes no sense.
Just because running older ASICs results in a loss right now doesn't mean that it would end up being a loss later. If you really believe that the price of bitcoin is going to go up significantly, running old hardware now still makes sense as a speculative bet. |

At least right now, that exchange is worthless. Their 24-hour volume is like 0.005 BTC. |

It sounds like were opening up a can of worms here.
That said all I know for certain is that if a service is monitoring and tracking every financial transaction with or without my consent and this applies to all users, I don't want any part of it.
Their is a reason that the law operates with the words innocent until proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt not from the perspective of if this is suspicious but we don't have enough evidence we will take preventive actions without our due diligence.
A precedent like this is concerning and its not what I would expect of a new financial industry there is compliance and then their is monitoring with a fine toothed comb for any mistakes.
Could you please explain to me how a financial institution could function without keeping track of all transactions? And how it could interface with the "outside world" (i.e., fiat financial institutions) without being regulated in a similar fashion? If you want bitcoin institutions to be legit, which is necessary to increase bitcoin adoption, they will have to be regulated in a similar fashion to fiat institutions. |

I think everyone's overreacting here, or at least those who are blaming Coinbase probably shouldn't be. These changes were likely encouraged by their legal team. They can't risk being caught knowingly helping others to fund illegal activities.
It's certainly over-the-top to suggest that Coinbase doesn't care about freedom. That's completely unfair.
I was not just blaming coinbase, I'm aware that they're following the law which tends to be strict. It's obvious that a multimillion dollar company doesn't want to take any legal risks but if you aren't aware of what's happening, they're shutting down accounts of people because of the law. They would obviously have to monitor transactions in order to do this, bigasic mentioned that they have software that does this. But its not only that, accounts have been shut down just for receiving/sending coins to what is mentioned as an unlawful service. So if someone sends coins from Silk Road to an address of yours, coinbase has the right to terminate your account and deny you access to any of their services. All this even if you live in neverland and US laws should have no effect on you. In addition there would be a record of you engaging unlawful activities from a company that closely cooperates with central authorities. Does that sound reasonable to you? A wallet that (aside of all the negative things I mentioned before) monitors your transactions and asks for your personal information? That's why I'm saying that using coinbase as a wallet service is madness. It sounds pretty reasonable to me. Why would a company want to be involved in illegal activities? What's the point of having laws if they're just going to be ignored? Edit: And how would you expect them to be able to interface with fiat banking services without knowing who you are and monitoring your activities? Having my identity attached to an account seems like a good thing. Otherwise people could steal my money, and I'd have no way of proving it was ever mine to begin with. |

craptsy  cryptsy clone names ? btw good luck for that site , i will check it soon maybe its legit after all Cryptsy is crappy from time to time and so it is called "craptsy".  My experience with Cryptsy has been pretty good. A few deposits have taken longer than I think they should have, but for the most part, things have gone smoothly. For 10btc you make 0.002 btc a day? Why would you risk that much for such a small Payout?
If as FFrost said, you have to invest 10BTC to win just 0.002 BTC a day... that's not a "great" investment, imao. True. A daily 0.02% "return" is terrible. If that were a normal fiat bank account, I'd take that in a heartbeat. It's like 7.5% per year. But that's not a lot if you're risking a lot of BTC on an exchange for it. There's also too much maintenance involved. |

Have all the exchanges been notified of the wallet version change? It looks like Europex is not on the right fork as they're showing a network hash rate of only 15 MH/s.
I created a ticket on Europex to let them know about the wallet change and gave them instructions for updating. Here are some additional nodes: addnode=54.186.130.102 (hardcoded) addnode=54.186.26.226 addnode=54.186.126.94 addnode=54.186.242.36 addnode=54.186.245.111 addnode=54.186.245.94 Thanks. I added this to the ticket. I haven't gotten any reply from them, though, and the page for the SPN market still says they're having issues. I'm not sure what the deal is. |

And aside from my feelings on the subject, there are other logical reasons to take back the coins. As DarkTrix pointed out, do you really want a thief in possession of such a large portion? I'd have a hard time trusting the coin if someone without any morals could manipulate the market any way he/she chooses.
It's crazy how people are so quick to overlook the ~750,000 gox coins and large number of silk road coins that got stolen. That's 1/21st of all the coins, in 2033. I never said that I had very much trust in bitcoin either.  More concerning to me than gox and silk road is Satoshi Nakamoto. I know nothing of him/her/them, and he/she/they could crash the market to almost nothing in an instant. |

Changing a coin's specs is not the best thing.
I agree that this is sometimes true, but the dev did it for good reasons. At the time the coin was released, 100B-coin coins were doing ok. But since then, most of them have failed. I think it's good that he brought the cap down. And with halving the cap, halving the reward makes sense. This tightening of the money supply should help make it more valuable. He's been soliciting input from the community, and I don't think anyone raised any objections to it. A week ago, 50 million NXT coins were stolen on BTER. That is around $1.5 million USD The NTX Dev had a choice to rollback the blockchain in order to return all those coins to the people who lost them. He finally decided not to do it because he didn't want to change the way NXT was made. As you can see, the dev could rollback the blockchain for a good reason too, but, he didn't do it. NXT remained NXT and SPN should have remained SPN. I haven't read anything about the NXT incident, so I don't know the details. But on the face of it, even if I were mining it, I'd say roll it back. If I had lost coins like that and the dev and community didn't roll it back, I'd be very unhappy and probably switch to something else. One thing I love about crytocurrencies is that you can undo massive thefts like that. I'd gladly give up even a few days worth of mining profits to see the victims made whole, even if I had lost nothing in the theft. But I care a lot about justice being served, so that's my take. And aside from my feelings on the subject, there are other logical reasons to take back the coins. As DarkTrix pointed out, do you really want a thief in possession of such a large portion? I'd have a hard time trusting the coin if someone without any morals could manipulate the market any way he/she chooses. Finally, the SPN dev did nothing to change what's already been done. He only changed how the coin will behave in the future. DOGE did something similar a little while back. If you foresee some issues with a coin, shouldn't you change it to make it better? Changing SPN also wasn't a light decision. The dev had talked about making these changes for the past couple of months. |

based on the coin specs halving should occur after block 400,000 and not 111,280  The version just released a couple days ago changed the first block reward halving to 111,280. I haven't looked at the code, so I don't know if/when it will halve again (I know the original plan was block 400,000). SpartanCoin, could you please update the original post to reflect the changes you recently made? Changing a coin's specs is not the best thing.

There are a lot of things in the works for this coin, which will hopefully increase use and demand. If that happens, it could easily get up into the BTC range. everybody beware of chickenstrips pool.i have received only one transaction for 12 hours mining there.the other 9 transactions going to LIMBO. they are not updating anything and now i tried to make a manual deposit and this don't work. their block reward is also at 150.000spn.So don't mine in there.
They're on the wrong fork. They haven't updated their wallet yet. You're wasting your hash if you mine there. Seriously if we allow c-cex to remove spn it won't be a bad idea as other people wouldn't be able to buy huge amounts of spn on LTC so they wouldn't dump it on BTC On the other hand spn is 4th on mintpal voting and within a couple of hours I think it will go 5th. it's a matter of days to go 6th as this Mjollnircoin goes up. Also do not forget that within 1 week the voting system will stop. So, the best thing we can do if we are around 50 people here, to put alarms every 1 hour and continuously vote. this might give a big push of around 800 votes per day and that's around 6500 in a week
If you look a couple pages back, SpartanCoin said he talked to C-cex, and they will not be removing SPN. If you look back further, SpartanCoin said that some of the software (one of the apps, maybe?) will use C-cex for pricing. So it does need to remain on C-cex. And even if you took it off C-cex, it's still on Europex vs. LTC (for now anyway). It's very unlikely that we'll get on Mintpal with the voting. But I agree that it's still important because they may look at that list for future coins to add. |

Just checked the current status of my windows wallet. All looking sweet and fully updated. Thanks for the efforts dev.  Reference the coin halving. When exactly will this be implementing. The halving has already happened. Block rewards are now only 75k: Also wanted to add we are halving the block reward of Spartancoin to 75,000 at block 111280. I added onto the block explorer a count down for that. http://blockexplorer.spartancoin.org/ |

It's unwise to store bitcoin at Coinbase or on any other exchange for an extended period of time...unless you like the idea of getting Goxed. One of the advantages of cryptocurrencies is that you have the ability to protect your coins as much as you want. I suggest protecting them well yourself.

Message on Europex's site ( https://www.europex.eu/#!coin/ltc/spn): "We do not find any working nodes for this coin. It may be unlisted soon. If you have a working wallet, you can help us if you send you result of 'getpeerinfo' in your wallet's console. Thank you." I'd send them the info, but I'm still trying to get the new wallet to work (I'm using a version of Linux that appears to be too old; apparently I need to do some major software updates). |

C-cex has listed SPN as one of the coins to be removed August 28 due to low volume???
This is very concerning. SpartanCoin, do you know what the deal is with this? I thought they were on board with keeping SPN listed? |
