Yeah, I know. Application Specific  I was just thinking it would be economical to make small ASICs, not the big bastards because people would go bankrupt from the electricity costs without having any income. USB miners, people wouldn't notice the costs. Actually, its probably Stonehedge that seeded that idea from his little Sha mining hobby  I agree, creating smaller devices is always more economically profitable, and not as risky an investment both for the producer and the buyer. I would love to see a small ASIC device that just does very fast general hashing of all the common hashing functions currently in use and allows for flexible kinds of inputs.Meaning you can hash any kind of data. So it would hash SHA256, RIPEMD-160, all separate X11 functions etc... and maybe use a buffer of 32-64 Gbyte on the stick so that files that fit on the stick can then be hashed incredibly fast. The would be the perfect ASIC for van gen. |

....I thought about all those USB miners that are now forgotten in corners of bedrooms all over the world [...] and how we could have armies of them again looking for van gens of Satoshi.
I am afraid that's not how it works. Every ASIC is always extremely limited in its use case. All those past USB miners can't even be used to just act as fast SHA-256 hashers for other projects. They can only do the very specific double SHA-256 function for very specific inputs coming from pools. All bitcoin pow asic miners can only do that and nothing else. So they are and will remain useless forever once their profitability is gone. ASIC = one-time-use throwaway consumergood. So an ASIC has much more in common with this than anything else:  This means that for vangen purposes you would need to create a different kind of ASIC that hasn't been created yet (as far as I know) |

I would like to propose a $1m reward for finding Satoshi.  Specifically, finding SatoshiNakamoto vanity gen. By offering 1 Million $ it suddenly becomes attractive to create a specific ASIC that doesn't hash POW but rather SPR addresses. And doesn't this mean that those insane numbers of trillions of years (based on CPU hashing) will be reduced by a factor of maybe 10^6 or more.... ? And all of a sudden* this might start awholenother* ASIC race! *  |

Well....  SPR was launched....but in March 2015 it was born Headline targets are 3,000 Bitcoin Full nodes, p2p exchange, automated escrow and start on APIs by July 2016 - plus some other great stuff in the works Congratulations everybody!  Yep, this is just the start.... a lot of mindblowing things ahead of us! Stay tuned... |

Ah what a pity, and my pool was never added to the OP :-(
Your pool is still considered "under investigation"... |
|
|

unofficial lunch of multipool miningcores.com - you can mine X11 and scrypt coins *in progress* building option for payout in Spreadcoin currently pays out in BTCLooking very good! I will add it to the OP, or wait, since you said it's "unofficial" I will wait with that. |

Thanks a lot for linking this paper! Looks very interesting. |

hey, i am looking for a cpu coin to mine,
has gpu mining destroyed spread coin for cpu mining,
or do you think I can mine cpu this coin?
with SpreadX11 the diff is almost 3x slower on gpu compared to x11 (as far as i know) so you should have better chance of cpu mining this coin... depends on number of cpus and type ofcourse, but you might have better luck finding a true cpu coin ... but try if you want to, i did mine a couple of blocks of this coin via cpu ... thats a couple of months ago. I downloaded the spreadcoin wallet, but it isn't processing the blocks, stuck at 0 blocks processed for 10 minutes now. don't have any active connections Alternatively, download the new wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045373.msg11262666#msg11262666it has been tested for quite some time, and seems to work ok. It will leave beta stage soon. |

The wallet explorer works great, too
...img snipp...
All seems to be ok
chain.miningcores.com is also running fine I did start looking for that link....needs to be in the OP I have added it. |

Block Explorer showing almost 2 hours since the last block?
Seems like the chainz.cryptoid SPR explorer is stuck at block 491028 https://chainz.cryptoid.info/spr/Anyway, my full node shows 491141 blocks: {

}I am still working on our own official SPR explorer... stay tuned. |

well he does have a time issue:
"timeoffset" : -6
True, but that is only a very minor timeoffset. As far as I know, this timeoffset is measured in seconds. timeoffset: Seconds of difference between this node's "wall clock time" and the median reported by our network peers. |

I wonder how streamium is going to generate profit.
Their github page announces it as "Decentralized trustless video streaming using bitcoin payment channels." https://github.com/streamium/streamiumAlso: from the autor website: "Streamium: A proof-of-concept trustless decentralized solution for streaming video via WebRTC by establishing a payment channel between the service provider and the consumer." And another site using bitcoins to unlock content: https://popchest.com/A combination of both is what I'm interested in as an application. One of the (many) applications running on the SPR Service Node Network and contributing value (residual income) in addition to the SPR rewards  Yes that would be awesome, but also a ton of work. But we have time! |

anyone else having trouble to sync? Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade. :/ I had a similar error last year when my pc's time was off by an hour or so. (when it didn't switch to summertime for some reason) Please check that your system clock has the right time set, or else the wallet will complain when there is a large difference between current timestamp (broadcast by your peers) and your system time. That should fix it. EDIT, or maybe it's something else, because such an error would normally lead to such an alert: "errors" : "Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Spreadcoin will not work properly." |

This is certainly something that has been briefly discussed as a future option. I see no reason that it isn't possible although there are probably a fair number of legal and compliance issues to be addressed to provide such a service.
I agree it could get complicated but if this services started with independent music owners first, it could simplify a first release. If an artist were to "own" 100% of all the rights they could submit it to the catalog and make it available for playback only. The artist decides the rate and the SPR network facilitates the transaction. EDIT: and Service Nodes generate extra income (perpetual)! I wonder how streamium is going to generate profit. They state that they are completely for free (no fees, all BTC goes to the video creator)... But how is this possible when video broadcasting is one of the more expensive things to provide, especially if you broadcast videos to multiple people, not just person to person. So, I wonder how they are going to monetize this in a world where everybody expects everything to be FREE. |

but now we have service noodles, maybe  lol, it definitely needs to show a giant pot of noodles... but who is eating them? The ape? i think a 'block' version ( like that of minecraft ) of the spreadcoin logo ...  ... #crysx or something along the lines of:  |

Yeah, I wonder why no X11 based coin ever had the idea of putting all sphlib related classes and headers into a designated folder. Looks much more ordered now. Neat! |

let's see how we are going to handle this communication barrier. Hi, georgemand all others! You did a fine job with this barrier of communication. But in fact, this barrier does not exist ... And although my contributions in the source code are purely cosmetic , I have been closely and mindfully looking the progress of work on a new SpreаdСoin wallet. Welcome awoland. Highly appreciated that you finally make a post here in the new official spreadcoin thread. This must be your first post ever on BCT in english language??? After more than 1500 posts in russian? I feel honored. Please stick around and contribute, your input is highly valued. PS Next time you make a commit to the master branch it would be nice if you could contact the devs / community first, before you go ahead. Thanks. |
