Nice new thread MyFarm/Spreadcoin_ ! I for one will be glad to see the handful of aggressive FUDster/trolls that have plagued the other thread not able to continue their disruptive behaviour here. But I'd be keen to still ensure people asking hard or difficult questions aren't shunned either. I'm sure you'll give people a reasonable chance to ask or vent before (when it's obvious what their objectives are) they're shut down. All the best.

NoobKidOnTheBlock, It's been quite a few hours since your last post so I'm guessing you'll be back on here again soon. I'd just like to take the opportunity to counsel you on the dynamic you've unfortunately fallen into here and how you might be able to lift yourself out of it (advice from someone possibly more than twice your age, given in a spirit of care for your well being and benefit for this thread).

I am coming back to this thread (and several on Spreadcointalk) every couple of days to get up to date with what's going on with masternode and instant transactions testing. Unfortunately there's very little information here on "what's going on", mostly there's just a never ending FUDfest with numerous postings designed to bring discredit and your extraordinarily verbose and long-winded rebuttals.

Now, I can see that you're very passionate but you're also clearly young and inexperienced. What's going on here is almost classic school yard bullying psychology. In your post above you say:


but unfortunately you've completely failed to comprehend how this stuff works (and the damage it's doing to this thread). That you are so upset, that "the hook" has pulled on you so intensely and that you're so completely enamoured by the need to fight back and rally and lash out and scream and go ape-shit mad is a FUDsters dream scenario. They are just loving it! In their mind they're thinking "got hold of a real doozy of a victim this time! Ha!" and you're just playing right into their game.

Can't you see that every time you make a great big long post with hundreds of words challenging them to come up with proof and details, you're just giving them the great feeling they get when someone gets wobbled and upset. Think back to school (or maybe you're still there?) and how bullies had built-in radar that would scan the playground for anyone that would be intimidated and get upset. That's what they love; someone that fights back and gets all consumed by it. THEY LOVE IT!!

So, before your day on here starts again think about how you might just let "the hook" that catches you go on past without a word. Honestly, people coming here to BCT threads are far smarter than what you probably think. The fact there are so many people coming here saying constant terrible things about Spread is indicative of the worry and concern they have for Spread's potential success. Don't worry about them. For goodness sake, just let them go past and don't bite! You'll be all the better for it and the rest of us won't have to read such long postings that just keep coming ad nauseum because you're responding to virtually every FUDder and every little lie or mud sling they do.

I hope you'll take this advice in the positive spirit it's given. All the best to you.

Very interesting threads Coins101. I'd already read most of them. The recent one about crypto and torrents is particularly interesting. This is where I think anonymity will be of particular interest (for Torrent downloads). DRK and SPR have definite opportunities to get involved in these areas and instant transactions will also be key for on-line purchases that are likely in this space.

This stuff is what's going to push crypto along; unusual "sideband" (if I could call it that) applications where crypto really suits. I think there'll be much activity in these realms way before we see mainstream adoption.

CODERsp I think this interaction back and forth between you and BiteMyShinyMetalAss has gotten a bit out of hand in a way that you'd probably not intended. I can see from your writing that English is probably not your native language. If we were having this conversation in a bar over a drink, it probably wouldn't have gone quite as feral as it has, but alas, that's the nature of Internet forums where one can't see a person and interact with them via all the other forms of communication when you're physically present; we're relying purely on written words.

I too have had very inconistent payments on my MN over the past few weeks. Basically since that fork happened, it's been a bit messy. Do I wish it was better? Yes, of course. But like people are pointing out, what we have with our lead developer Evan Duffield is something so very special and of such substance that I'm not going to complain because I know that he works very hard and puts in enormously long days that produce much substance. I'm sure he wants the MN payments to be more consistent too, but there's so much to do and (again as others have pointed out) this entire project and the code that's been developed is still in beta. That means there are no guarantees or "SLAs" on the workings of it. It's still being tested/developed/refined. So we have to expect some stuff to not work properly and this payment system is one of them.

I'm sure it will improve but we all just have to have patience.

Coins, it's obviously your perverted mind in a runaway condition causing such difficulty. Here, I'll give you a different image/conccept to consider:

In Australia we have this stuff you put on bread called "lemon spread" (it's probably in other places too but I never assume that because we have this other stuff here called Vegemite which is a bizarre Aussie thing that if anyone from another country tries to eat they fall down on the floor choking; so it's generally not sold in other places except at specialty "Aussie" stores). Lemon spread is this (obviously) lemony delicious jelly sort of spread that's pretty yummy that you put on your bread. It's sweet, it's yellow and it's probably fattening but kids particularly love it.

Maybe, every time you see the word "Spread" you can think of lemon spread. The worst that can happen is you'll want to eat Spreadcoins.

Oh....I see....

A few questions:

So do these ISG3D people have a QT wallet somehow connected to their 3D printer?

Does the software automatically decrement one DRK from their wallet when it's finished printing?

Are the 3D printer versions of DRK fungable with the virtual ones?

How do I transfer the value held back into virtual (i.e. is there like an "unprint" button?)

So after Josh Garza has finally posted on Hashtalk about the $20 buyback (dis)Honor Program:


The guy from above has now written:


It's funny (but potentially not really....guy could be facing quite a beating)

Paycoin: What a mess!

Someone on hashtalk just wrote:


Just another classic crypto chapter from the "if it looks too good to be true....." book of Learning-the-hard-way.

It looks dodgy as all hell. Here's their contact page:


Throughout the site they talk about "Darkcoin company" and it's mixed in with the term "Diablo" which is in the header of the page. This bit looks decidedly like they're trying to pass themselves off as Darkcoin

From their front page (Google translated)


Isn't it amazing how people can just blatantly lie through their teeth using all the words they think will pass them off as credible.

Have sent a report to Google too.

Seems like we're back.

I expect initially we'll see some pretty comical stuff going on in regards to the number of SPR people load onto their nodes. It will be like watching a Harlem shake video; everybody very still, then everyone moving suddenly in radically different directions. Might even get some wave motions going with lots of MNs increasing their SPR count suddenly as others are decreasing with the gyrations settling down for a bit then starting up all over again.

Excellent articles, thanks Oblox; just what I was looking for.

I'd back up what stonehedge has said 100%. Honestly, we've experienced some of the worst trolling you can imagine in the DRK thread over the past year. Long term committed followers of DRK like myself and stonehedge, are just so over seeing the pithy, lame and childish manner in which these people operate. The DRK team is very serious and professional. While you may get the occasional flippant comment, on the whole DRK people feel pretty good that Mr Spread grabbed hold of this opportunity so quickly and so effectively (it indicates how substantial Darkcoin is and what a strong base to build on it's provided). It's just going to be so interesting to see how this all plays out and I can see long term synergistic relationship between DRK & SPR that will benefit everyone.

We don't need to have immature tribal rivalry and mindless spit-for-spat interactions with people who're from the DRK camp. Many of them are very keen to see SPR do well too (as are many SPR people keen to see DRK be successful as well). Lets just focus on getting the word about these amazing cryptocurrencies out to the broader community.

Following on from LucD88's query about why his wallet balance isn't the same as his MN's address listing on the block explorer, I'd really like to read a guide on how addresses work, the specifics of coin control and the concepts around change (and why getting lots of dust mining payments makes your wallet.dat bloated and what you should do about it).

I know this is in reality bitcoin 101 stuff, but I feel like I'm missing key parts of how that all works. If anyone knows of a good easy-to-read document explaining this stuff, please post a link. I'm sure there are many others that need some education in this are too.

I haven't received a payment for 10 days. Haven't worried about it too much as my MN has been up and down a few times with all the updating, dropping-off problem and general network instability when the fork happened. But it's been up solid on 0.11.0.13 and now 0.11.0.14 for just under 4 days so I'm expecting I should get a payment any time now (and will start to become concerned if I don't see something in the next 24-48 hours).

Okay, guessed 14.04 was safe but thanks for confirming.

Thanks for posting.

Does this mean if you're on Ubuntu 14.04 the issue's already been rectified so there's no action needed?

Did you mean "can't wait for DRK to be on BTC-e"?

You'll probably be waiting for a long time. They're pretty much a closed shop that's intensely LTC centric. As at a couple of months ago they hadn't added a new coin type for over a year. Not sure if that's still the case but people here in the DRK community have tried contacting them without much success.
