WOW! this is awesome!

OK, just to be clear, which github link is going to be the one?

Ok, I'll wait 24 hours... Not a problem.

Really?  Aside from our standard FUD, I think it's pretty far from dead. 
That last post about getting delisted from Cryptsy was made up, there's a new dev, another new dev who's helping him, the old dev has quit, but is still certainly around, and we have a pretty strong and committed community backing everything... There a new version of the wallet (less than a week old at this point), and a whole new direction coming.  I'm actually thinking 8bit is currently cheap, which is the opposite of dead.

I think that's just some quality grade A FUD right there...

Indeed it is...

I was responding to a comment you posted less then 30 minutes ago... Just sayin'

Wrong with me? Well, I work too much, I could stand to lose about 20 lbs, I drink a little too much, my house is a mess, woke up today to find out my parents dog was killed by coyote last night, my ex-wife is a royal pain in my ass, and I'm 40 fucking years old... Other than that?  Not a lot, I'm hanging in there, thanks for asking... :p

Agreed, so stop bringing it up.

So, by your logic, you're mad at mastertrader, thus you feel justified in screwing all of us, and we should be upset with him, even though you screwed us, because he screwed you in the first place?

Does that sound about right?

And, if you were in our position, would you care? Seriously? 
I'm sure mastertrader has been screwed in the past, if he justifies screwing you, with that same logic... do you care?

Seriously folks,  this is the post I'm being attacked for...   Like I've done something wrong...   

Yea obviously most threaded processes work like that, and when it started swapping the entire compile process,  I stopped it and increased the amount of available memory.  All I did was give a warning to others who might not have known why it was failing (or just REALLY slow),  in a post saying I made YOUR code work,  and here's how. And you've taken THAT as a reason to try attacking me?  Really?

Really? why not?  if -j == the number of job slots (threads)...

I know what the flag is for... And that's not the issue I had.  But keep running with this, I'm sure it's helping you somehow...

Point of fact:  I was compiling on a 2 core VM, with 768M of RAM, the issue was it was running itself out of memory.  the -j2 flag was correct.

Cool I guess...

Over the course of my entire career, no-one has ever cared if I can program, building software isn't on my resume, and it's not a skillset I claim to have... that's what developers are for; they do their jobs, and I do mine.  And, if you want to get into the nuances of building and running NIX networks, I'm SURE I can find things related to, but not in your skillset too... In any large enough enterprise, there's more than enough separate work for both roles, and network/firewall people, and desktop people, windoze admins/engineers, netsec, etc. etc.  We all all have our jobs/skills, and I'm not bagging on yours.  And I could.

I took your completely undocumented code, and got it to work on a new system, in less than a day, annnnd I'm not a programmer... But, somehow you feel the need to lash out at me? I'm confused, seriously.

So, the better question, is why are you trying to pick a fight with me now?
Because I told you I don't care about your issues with everyone else? Why should I? Why should anyone?  Even if you're right, you're hurting the rest of us with this behaviour.

There's no reason for any of this, so I really don't understand your motivations here.

Of course I know what make is for... and yes, something that amounts to a script for building software from source, is generally speaking a programing tool.

Indeed, I'm not a programmer... Which I've made clear.  
Engineers (I haven't been an SA in years) generally don't spend a lot of time compiling code, and I've never even taken a class in C.

That said, if you want a secure, multi-honed, geo-loadbalanced, web/authentication/database platform, running on a mixture of Linux, AIX, and Solaris, monitored, automated, making money, designed, built, and deployed?  Then I'm your man.  :p

Well, as much as I think he might be like 14 years old based on his behaviour...
Credit where credit is due, didn't he write the current website/block explorer with the URL he took his username from?

Indeed, that was directed to you...
Who else spams this discussion with never-ending craziness directed at mastertrader and dbt?

He's absolutely right though...

All you do is bitch about and argue with mastertrader here, he's not going to be the new dev anyway, and the rest of us still don't care.

And as far as dbt1033 goes, you're just holding a grudge because he called you out on your own crap.

You've had dozens of comments from most of the community asking you to knock it off.  And you still can't stop from spamming this thread with your issues, which are largely just your own, and don't involve 8bit, and it's future one bit.

This is counter productive, and while I totally understand the need for a open thread, you sir, are starting to make me long for a moderated one.

Hiya folks,
So, I stumbled onto this looking for random stuff to mine, and decided to compile a wallet.

An observation or two...

1. the wallet compiles pretty easily, and that's good.  But, if you need to compile the leveldb stuff separately, you should document that somewhere obvious.  That was a small pain the the ass to figure out. (Orrrrr, can that be included in the main makefile so the spacecoin make process will do it as part of the spacecoin build itself? Especially considering you're already distributing the leveldb source with the spacecoin code anyway.)

2. Not that it matters with only a week's worth of data in the chain now, but going forward... LOTS of blocks = slow sync.  At the rate this loads blocks into the chain vs. the raw number of blocks this coin produces, in six months it is honestly conceivable that a fresh wallet might take several DAYS to sync.  There's dozens of wallets out there that have that exact problem, and most of them aren't as block-chatty as spacecoin seems to be.

Anyway, I'm liking this coin thus far... So, I'm going to keep most of my mining, stake them for a while, and I'm curious to see where you folks can take this.

Cheers

That is a really well thought out answer.. thank you.


That part is funny to me specifically... I don't disagree, at all. But, in my case, I've got an old hp thin client (not much better than a raspberry pi in cpu power and power usage, and only 1G RAM), and I've got 4 1T USB disks plugged into it... I think I'm screwing with your ratio.
