Someone spamming the blockchain for the last day or so with tons of small transactions (usually 30-50 in a block), all of them with mixin 6. For example:

Anyone have any idea what this is about? Someone testing something out? Someone just being a dick?

Execoin github was last updated 2014 Aug 9, about 5 months ago, and has a total of 13 commits in its entire existence. Bitcoin github last commit was 13 hours ago and has 7817 commits (all after Satoshi "abandoned" the coin, since the source code was originally hosted on Sourceforge). You're insane if you think Bitcoin is abandoned, there's hundreds of contributors making thousands of contributions, while Execoin has two contributors that haven't made a single update since last summer. How long do they have to stay quiet before you'd consider it abandoned?

You mean blocktime? Maybe, but vertcoin has actually forked to new algo to stay asic-resistant, so it's got that going for it.

Great show by rickstoner last night on doged radio last night ( http://dogecoindark.net/radio/ )! Nice job interviewing bobsurplus, coingekko, and themage, and letting the guests argue amongst themselves

Come stop by giveaway thread on reddit and get some free VTC: http://redd.it/2sxxii 

Not a scam, just claiming to accept a scamcoin and payback 300% out of thin air...sounds legit...

Maybe because it's practically completely abandoned? They still have ASIC-proof in the topic of the thread, but it's had ASICs mining its rotting carcass for the past several months. There's no volume on any exchange. Devs haven't posted in months. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I kinda doubt it's gonna turn around...

Hi Simon,
Congrats on landing a job! Sounds like a really exciting company to be a part of. Look forward to seeing what the future brings

Doubt you'll find anyone offering to sell for 1 sat, maybe if you offered 0.15 or 0.2 btc for 10M you'd get an offer. I just got over 10M myself, no way I'm gonna dump them all, sorry

Me too. I was synced for a while, then I had some peers but I wasn't synced for a while, and then I had no peers and it said I was synced but clearly I can't be synced with no peers :/

Would be awesome if there was a new version that had a working IRC bootstrap, or something else to effectively find non-abandoned peers, and also maybe to combine BCC/TALK names...

I think most of the solvent coins are coins that have been abandoned and may or may not have functioning block chains. Basically, I think anything that had some worth in last April or so was stolen, and so what you're left with is like Rabbitcoin and Industrycoin and other stuff that had very little value back 9 months ago, and at this point probably doesn't even have a single node or miner left. I agree that there should be some accounting of what is left in the coffers, but to be honest, I don't think there's much of value left from the hacks.

Oops. I just sent from Poloniex so I didn't have to sync my wallet, so I don't have a from MYR address, but I posted tx id :/

If I win, you can just give the whole pot to development fund

You're right, that was pretty snide. I just found it somewhat surprising that he had originally posted asking for that information nearly a week ago, and then came back and asked again a few days ago, when it really only took several minutes to look it all up in the source repo, especially considering that he is supposed to be working on this supernet project that I've heard has hundreds or at least dozens of programmers working on it in their slack group. I don't own any, as I mentioned, because at the outset it seemed like a lot of other pump and dump scams (promise the moon at some unspecified date in the future but demand ICO funds immediately), and his behavior (apparent inability to quickly check basic coin parameters) somewhat reinflamed those suspicions.

I think it's stuck. Miner pools used to payout tiny dust amounts, so you have tiny outputs that are now too costly to transfer with the current 0.001 XMR/kb fee. There's not really any way to set a custom tx fee, afaik, unless you build a custom daemon/wallet and then mine the transaction yourself, which is probably not worth the effort. On the plus side it's only worth about $0.02 USD at the moment, so not a huge loss...

Good point, I will try and get around to updating gif this weekend. I've been meaning to anyway, but that will be some extra impetus.

Afaik you don't need to rebuild from the seed, you can also rebuild from the keys file. So, delete or move your bin file, and just launch as normal with only the keys file, and it should successfully rebuild the binary file.

Very nice

Do you mind sharing how you get all of the transaction info via RPC calls to the daemon, just out of curiosity?

I'd guess this is just human propensity to look for patterns where there may or may not be any.
