Are servicenodes going up on the testnet in a few days? If I recall correctly Oct. 21st was a target date for that.  Probably not, we are still fighting with a few things. But we are working on it. Expect new updates soon! |

Did Mr.Spread Hamster really bump the price up?
Yep, community finally learning what happened with the creator of spreadcoin is apparently very important.  |

Convert your videos on demand?
Interesting... how about video streaming? Live and archived? How would that work? That's bandwidth intense, and bandwidth is still far from free, specially for video hungry apps! Yes, video streaming as in "creating a decentralized youtube" would require us to have a very profitble businessplan in place. I can't imagine right now what that would be... But as a first step, maybe something like a decentralized imgur.com (file-hosting for pictures) could be worth it. I always imagine what would happen if imgur.com suddenly went offline and took like half of the internet's pics with it. Scary thought! That's why we need to replace those giant centralized entitites and put them on a blockchain secured network. |

There is no reason why we can't extend PoBN to Proof of Litecoin Node as well.
Totally. And now think a step further: nobody says it even has to be a coin/blockchain. There could be allkinds of services / programs, for example we can imagine a renderfarm (Rendering on Demand), where we need to prove that a servicenode has the opensource 3D program blender installed and running. People could then pay SPR to render their large animations on the Servicenode network.... Or ffmpeg? Convert your videos on demand? Etc.... solving the problem of ProofOfX opens the door to a whole universe. the business world: SPR SN provides secure chains for whichever currency floats your boat. Security on demand?
Security on demand?That sounds awesome!
Everyone keeps talking about the hash rate of the network, and how relevant it is to keep the network secure, but it is often omitted that the total number of full nodes is just as important to keep it safe. So better get a full node. Think of it as your "civic duty", like going to vote in the elections.
We here agree wholeheartedly 100%... that's the main reason for doing PoBN. It will benefit both BTC and SPR, since any Servicenode will need to run both a full BTC node and a full SPR node. |

I had a sneaky suspicion he was a fat hamster and they weren't just close up photos Yeah, he hasn't used the hamster wheel in weeks... But he likes to climb... ... but only when there is food waiting up there... lol ok... I see now...  |

It's done! Mr. Spread's weight is 63 grams!I am surprised that Mr. Spread is heavier than I expected! I'll probably need to put him on a diet!     Now, let's check who the winner is! |

Discovered what may be a typo in the WP. On page 46, second to last paragraph - "With Bitcoin nodes approach 10,000, these node numbers would yield more valuable...pockets of regional financial activities." I'm assuming an "ing" was missing after approach.  That's great, thanks. The WP is still a 'draft' because we need to get general feedback. The bulk of the work was also done in June and part of July, and with the blockchain debate still unresolved we want to have some flexibility to update the WP before issuing a final version. The main approach won't change, just details around the edgers. PM your addy for a bug bounty of 101 SPR. If you don't claim it, I'll send it to the devs. Why don't you create a thread in the spreadcointalk forum so we can discuss and dissect your WhitePaper? People can then post about typos, pros/cons and ask when they don't understand something. |

I'm keen to maintain spreadcointalk for technical support only - for the foreseeable future. But remember the times when BCT went offline again and again? That's the main reason for having a secondary forum, .... because you can't really rely on BCT only. |

I'm looking forward to getting spreadcointalk tidied up and updated so its ready for testnet discussions  Have fun, let me know about your ideas! |

and even though the bet was already over and won ...  ... #crysx No, it's not over, I wasn't taking it serious, but now I am. Mr. Spread is more or less ok with it too.... So try again! Every post following this post is valid, and might win 1000 SPR, gratefully donated by stonehedge.Posts must be made in this spreadcointalk forum thread:

My guess is 39g. Someone else bet 41! Edit: Oh, I'm retarded, the second image didn't load until now. Contest still going on, try again, this time for real! |

damn, I was much too quick to reveal a fake solution.... I wasn't sure you guys were serious about this. LOL! sorry, will do better next time,.... Also, you know what, I could ACTUALLY weigh the hamster instead of just guessing how much he weighs. Problem is, the little beast just won't stand still, and I can't blame him... EDIT: Alright, I take everything back, I will actually weigh the hamster after 1700 GMT on tuesday (that's tomorrow)... so everybody, bets are still possible! The closest guesses at 1700 GMT on Tuesday win the prize and if more than one person is closest then the pot is sharedEDIT2: I now know how to measure Mr. Spread's weight. I will put him in a box that I have measured when it was empty, then I will use the TAR function of the scale, and measure the box once more with Mr. Spread in it:  Posts must be made in this spreadcointalk forum thread:

You're fucking joking? Coins101? I reckon you two conspired and agreed to share the prize. I'm just happy to introduce Mr. Spread the hamster to the world! Everything else is between you and coin101... Hey, in the future we can do some proper bets with mr. spread.... like when we have "important decisions" to make, let him decide (life on camera) between 2-3 boxes , and see what box will interest him most! :-) ... Like the ape that throws darts at the stocks. Or the soccer octopussy:  |

100 pages since the new ANN thread started!
Guess the weight of Georgem's hamster (in grams). Closest guess posted by 1700 GMT on Tuesday 13th wins 1000 SPR.
Rules: If there is a tie, the prize will be split. Georgem can't enter.
That's what Mr. Spread (yes, my hamster is named Mr. Spread) has to say about that:   100 pages and we haven't even started yet. Yay! EDIT: This post is just a joke, the contest is still on!Posts must be made in this spreadcointalk forum thread:

In other news: https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-and-firefox-block-kickasstorrents-over-harmful-programs-151009/Firefox and Chrome are blocking the most visited torrent site in the world, claiming that it runs "malicious code". Here we see again a glimpse of the future of what's about to come when everything is centralized around google and their friends. ....and that's why I always said, we are going to need a decentralized search engine running on the spreadcoin network. After implementing PoBN and ServiceNodes, that's the most fascinating next endeavour we need to undertake: To create a decentralized searchengine that runs on thousands of servicenodes. |
