Grats for your 3000th post 'noodle guy'.   

Block 250 has to return a 0 subsidy. Superblocks can not kick in to some future block number that gives people time to update the client.


Edit:  or maybe 250  has to be a 0 or a superblock chance,  have to find the original code to remember for sure.

You do realize that your code as a fix for the live chain was more broken then the one you fixed?

I have doubts they would let me add a hook at the smtp level like I would want to.

With this coin that is not it though.  The reward per block is cut the higher the difficultly.  So cheaper hashes, means higher difficulty and less coins produced.

Curl is threadsafe,  qt at least as it used to be built on windows was not.

So good chance these older forks still have that issue.

Actually this may show part of the culture shift going on with the project and especially the devtome part of it.   You think people doing work on other things should put up bounties.  However most of the stuff being done is open source,  with the people doing it giving away their time and expertise.  Now someone feels that was not enough, they should have to pay others to help them.  That is not how open source is supposed to work.

 I saw luckybit always saying how you can not blame the writers in earlier discussions.  I also saw someone go so far as to post their reply to an active discussion as a devtome article so they could get paid while participating in the discussion!!  This was when I had to take a break from things, as seeing things like that was just too frustrating.  In an OS project all members are supposed to help move towards the goals.    The concept of blaming or not blaming or not being able to blame a party would not even enter the discussion.   It is not meant to be, you do the task defined and only that and don't think about anything else.    I really think the culture is shifting and am not sure what it will become.




There is another interesting thing with the forum bounty.  While it can be done, running a mail server can be a real pain.  You have people consonantly probing it that want to use it as a relay.  You have people that want to know why mail from misconfigured  servers does not get to them, or to the person behind the bad server.  You have ongoing server and support costs.  I would have done the bounty if the issue of where and how to host it was also solved or supported in some way.

I have very mixed feelings about web wallets in general.   They remove a lot of the purpose of the distributed blockchain.  It also benefits the network to have people running the blockchain verifying software.  However,  if people want to have and use web wallets,  then someone should make them available.  I do know that I prefer to see DVC kept as far away from direct fiat exchange as possible. I would prefer to see more coin2coin only exchanges like mcxnow.


This is not true.  Aside from which , how do you pick which side of an arbitrage is the undervalued or overvalued side, the price has been more in line of a 33% variance for the actual  average price. Unfortunately the graph only shows peaks, which a one share sale can effect too much.  A few shares have gone at high prices, and the sell side of the order book of course shows that type of price.  However no one is filling them at those prices in general and buy orders get filled for much less then that. 



This would be good.... a bitmit like site for devcoins.

I think the website is another case of the downside of bounties.  A few people expressed interest in doing or helping with one, but what got put up was the first thing someone with access to the domain could rush up.

Yep,  it needs to be cleaned up a bit.  A block number picked for the fork, and logic added to use that block number.  Then it needs to be committed to the repo, tagged, and binaries built for the masses.  So who has access to the repo?

What I have bookmarked for perl is https://github.com/grondilu/libbitcoin-perl , see also  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54997.msg654492#msg654492


It probably would get more attention if it was on CPAN.

Yes, though most of the posts and almost all of the bounties are still in the one original super long thread, of which I have post #4.    I have been watching devcoin and it's bounties for longer then you have.  I also am aware of the scope of work of most of the programming projects they have had bounties for.    I have never seen anything like you are claiming to have seen.


I can doubt you as I too have read the devcoin threads and seen the bounties.   You either are misunderstanding the scope/effort the bounty took, or the real reason it got done.   In order for me to understand which I need to know what bounty you consider to have been done like you claim.



I am doing more then believing what I want...   I read the devcoin threads and bounties and have never seen one that took two days of work for 200k coins.  I have never seen one even  anywhere near as lowball as your $20 to set up a pool and then own 50% of the take.  Since you say you know of these, you should be able to find them easily without needing to dig using the search and we can see if I missed them, or you misunderstand the scope.


Right, a lot of the stuff done for low prices, would really have gotten done anyway.   The bounty just gave the final motivation, or a fun little bonus.  I know I usually lose money every time I take time out to work on coin code.

You thought that post was insulting?  It said what you just said, that you are learning, and have no idea about a lot of this stuff.    I don't have any questions at the moment to ask.  I think I understood things well enough.

Again, can you link to some specifics where someone did days of work for 200K dvc?

It is not overdue.  It will not happen.  Until a forked client gets released.

The flaw in your code is it fixes an issue that is too late to fix,  the original code you made the fix from worked just as well being as that we are past that block.  Actually it worked better, as your code creates a fork for sure, what they posted only may.

I don't think you have.   If so can you link to it?   I have yet to see a devcoin bounty that wanted a percentage ownership.  In this case,   the cost of setting up a pool is usually not even front loaded.   The main costs are the ongoing server and support costs.   To expect to buy into that for 50% for $20 for half the profit looks both greedy and insulting.  Anyone who is going to incur those costs, is not going to take you up on your offer, and it makes you look bad offering it.  Better to have offered nothing, then a stake grab like that.   To then call it a hefty fee just adds to the insult.


You are still in the learning stage of these coins it seems.  Most people do seem to pay to learn, not make money off of it.

Thing is, it is too late to do that now.   This code would only work if it was in at launch.

I know I for one would prefer that gpled and lgpled requirments stay out of primecoind, maybe these this type of change belongs in a standalone miner, or maybe used libfastmath?

I am seeing like 75-100 on the smalls and 700 on the 4cores.  What datacenter are you in?

Perhaps, though probably not so much in a VM.   Also, thousands have downloaded my builds for the various coins over the years.  So I am not unknown for my builds.  Right now pretty much anyone that downloads a  devcoin buld  is running my builds, as it anyone running a downloaded osx nmc or ixcoin build.   And, well he did request it.  I usually only upload windows and mac builds unless I see a request.
