I hope Spreadcoin devs releases something new before Oct 10 HLM snapshop to to save spreadcoin. Otherwise, we'll probably see a massive dump.
c.f. self-realising expectations Cheers Graham |

Something is not right. What i have see is that PoS increase diff for PoW and PoB while diff for PoS stay low. It is not possible that 3 Mhs hash gives diff ~0.24 -0.25. After many years of involvement in SLM, in the last couple of months i cant see any logic.
PoW max 50 SLM. Diff rise reward is less. That is fine
PoB max reward 250 SLM. Diff rise, same as PoW, reward is similar to PoW???
Difficulty is focused on controlling the emission rate by varying the amount of hashing required and (I suppose) needs to account for variations in network PoS staking weight hash vs steady PoW hash vs irregular PoB PoWPoS hash (says PoW but hash req'd is PoS level) to maintain the overall level of hash required to secure the ledger. The profile of the network has changed in the last few months, it would be worrying if the ratios didn't change. PoB vs PoW vs PoS rewards and the development history are canonically detailed here: https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/blame/slimcoin/src/main.cpp#L1050Slimcoin is a PoSV1 implementation, as characterised by earlz: http://earlz.net/view/2017/07/27/1904/the-missing-explanation-of-proof-of-stake-versionPoSv1 - This version is implemented in Peercoin. It relied heavily on the notion of "coin age", or how long a UTXO has not been spent on the blockchain. It's implementation would basically make it so that the higher the coin age, the more the difficulty is reduced. This had the bad side-effect however of encouraging people to only open their wallet every month or longer for staking. Assuming the coins were all relatively old, they would almost instantaneously produce new staking blocks. This however makes double-spend attacks extremely easy to execute. Peercoin itself is not affected by this because it is a hybrid PoW and PoS blockchain, so the PoW blocks mitigated this effect. HTH Cheers Graham |

Heads up BCT holders ... http://blog.rongarret.info/2017/09/the-bitcoin-apocalypse-is-coming.htmlCoupla standouts, Ron is one of the few technically well-informed people who actually understands the role of the embracing social contract: The problem is that making any changes to Bitcoin is really, really hard, and this too is by design. At root, Bitcoin is a process for achieving distributed consensus, in particular, a consensus about who owns what. But before you can use this process you have to achieve consensus about the process itself. And you can't use the blockchain to achieve that consensus. The whole thing can only be bootstrapped by the messy process of politics and human interaction. That is one of the reasons that it is remarkable that Bitcoin has gotten as far as it has.
If he was aware of the fact that user groups of cryptocurrencies based on the Bitcoin protocol are inherently Teal orgs, he might not have seen Bitcoin's continued survival as quite as remarkable.This is why I find questions about a roadmap impossible to answer - it doesn't matter how much effort is put in to improving the codebase or promoting the coin, the silent majority silently makes its silent judgement as to whether it can be collectively arsed to bother. But it is admittedly true that ... The elephant in the room is what many see as Bitcoin's core value proposition, the supply limit of 21 million coins. This limit is often advertised as being inviolable because it is mathematically enforced, but that is only true as long as everyone is running the code that enforces that limit. The 21-million coin limit is enforced by exactly the same mechanism that currently enforces the block size limit. If the one can change, so can the other.
What Ron doesn't address is the question what economic parameters are collectively perceived as definitional? Would it still be Bitcoin if the limit were 21,000,001 coins? What about 21,000,002? 22,000,000? If the algo was changed to Blake2 for extra speed? If the algo changed to Blake2 because SHA-2 was compromised? Anyone care to challenge me if I asserted this is a matter of group psychology rather than economics? Where next for Slimcoin? I can discern a broad trajectory - the next phase will be a period of consolidation during which the added functionality is polished into something accessible and immediately usable. This involves creating more accessible descriptions of Slimcoin, descriptions which barely mention cryptocurrency at all. ... unless it is the case that collectively the group feels that Slimcoin should remain purely a “store of value” cryptocurrency - and we won't find out until the silent majority has not spoken (if you get my drift).

Does anyone know when helium is going to be released?
The Helium development team does ... coins101 [12:40 PM]
We have a snapshot date, time and block height. We've sorted out financials and commercials. We've got a snapshot script. We have confirmation of pretty much everything. What we are waiting for is 100% confirmation on what's been agreed, including dates and times.
Questions about Helium will be more fruitfully asked in the Helium slack or the Helium thread (rather than this thread focused on Spreadcoin) as they are far more likely to be promptly and fully answered there. helium thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1809278helium slack auto-invite: https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/Cheers Graham |

And there was a time, that exchanges were even 'battling' for coins/tokens, with free votes, etc.
That's the impact of the costs of KYC/AML regulation. Cheers Graham |

the high fees exchanges today charge for a listing (thousands of dollars!)
Tens of thousands. Cheers Graham |

Jackson Palmer, the founder of altcoin Dogecoin, is concerned about the direction the crypto-market has been taking. The Australian, who launched his own alternative crypto-currency in 2013 and left the project in 2015. Palmer is among the select group of crypto-coin enthusiasts who began studying the theme long before the price of bitcoin surpasses the $ 10 mark. When he decided to create Dogecoin, which already had a market value of more than $ 408 million, and today worth $ 126 million, the idea behind the initiative was to show how absurd it is to dump large sums of money in unstable business.

Does anyone have any solutions for this?
I wonder whether your client perhaps successfully staked before it was fully synced, causing a local fork? You might try loading a fresh blockchain from dooglus' snapshot. HTH Cheers Graham |

[A few of the ones you have listed have dates too early -CNC coin, Starcoin, Zcc coin, Vertcoin.
Just taking the first one - the date is correct according to the pszTimeStamp and the genesis block datetime : https://github.com/CHNCoin/CHNCoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2011If you'll forgive me, I'm going to ignore any further unsupported assertions. Cheers Graham |

As per title
Although would be good to include those that have died off but just have a note beside it.
Chronological order would be nice too.
What I have, atm: By now, some of the “extants” will have slipped to “defunct”, at least until someone revives the chain. Cheers Graham |

Did anyone as yet pull open this file and find allcoins wallet? so we can black list it?
I am a computer illiterate and don't dare install anything unless under my cousins supervision who is away ...
Fair enough. Just identify the offending addresses and I'll strip them out of the database with a SQL query. Cheers Graham |

Mr Spread...
Spreadcoin's Satoshi... gone but not forgotten!
coins generously suggested “Graham” as the label for the initial release of the Helium client as some sort of recognition of the midwifery role I'm playing. I demurred and returned serve with a crushing “Nah, hasta be ‘Mr. Spread’, dunnit?” And so “Mr Spread” it will be. For all the reasons implicit in your observation. Cheers Graham |

I've also seen some accusation about Georgem being Mr. Spread himself.
I've not, else I'd help people disabuse themselves of that misperception. I've interacted with both, on technical matters, and I am certain that Mr Spread and georgem are two very different people. Cheers Graham |

yeah ok i know... double click an icon and and going to bed and letting wallet sync for a few hours is a pita.......
I agree. Far, far too much to ask, hence the nightly milling of https://minkiz.co/noodlings/spr/bootstrap.dat.xz Unfortunately the majority of users are obviously purists as they exhibit disdain for such inessentials as bootstrap.dat, choosing instead to tough it out on first principles, syncing from the network. One cannot help but stand back and admire such personal sacrifice of time and effort, even if it is rather pointless. People do like to suffer, I've found, especially when they think they ought to. Cheers Graham |

On ACME there is more than 2 milions burnt coins it shows, and supply is 15.2 mln (total 17.2).
It's lagging, as I mentioned. Cheers Graham |

bittrex could end up holding a ton of helium and that would not be good for the initial distribution of this project.
I wonder if Bittrex have calculated that they'd make far more money by exploiting their customers' ignorance/inattention than from the fees they'd charge to perform the swap. Cheers Graham |

Your estimated time ...
Classic stroke, perfectly played.  <respectfully light applause from the crowd> Cheers Graham |
