Ripping people off, yes. That's something I care about, and why I was letting people know about the fake development (copied refactored code). It was a huge red flag. People who listened (not only to me but to the many other knowledgable members who said the same thing) got what they deserved (they got to keep their money) and people who didn't, well they also got what they deserved.


Whatever the reason, the result is the same, and there is no shortage of reasons. There have certainly been people who have ripped off the altcoin ecosystem for personal enrichment rather than a drug habit. The ecosystem is equally ripped off either way.

It was never a few line of code. There were (multiple) entire significant modules that were identified as refactored (i.e. copied and reformatted). This does not mean that other parts were not also copied, it just means that no one went to trouble to compare and identify all of the copied code. Why should we do his work for him? It is his job to cite the copied portions, no matter how much or how many, not hide them.


That's because the licenses allow it and if you look in the copyright notices for just about any game you will see the required attributions and license notices for the redistributable code. Game devs who use redistributable components don't claim to be geniuses who implemented them from scratch.


I actually don't care about his personal problems and I actually wish people would leave him (or other people with personal challenges who pop up here from time to time) alone about it. There is a sadistic streak on this forum that comes out where certain people want to "beat up the special kids" whenever they can. It isn't admirable.

Whatever challenges john-conner faces I hope he gets the help he needs and/or otherwise manages to reach some state of happiness and peace in his life.

RingCT is already in the code and active on the public testnet. It is scheduled to go live on the main net with the next hard fork.

Switch to equihash is on December 6 (but 3 second blocks are friendly to solo mining)

So far it is only solo mining using the node software, which you have to compile yourself. Get from https://github.com/steemit/steem. There might be some mining guides upthread or if not then definitely on the previous thread.

We have a winner.

As I understand it, they only process AEON transactions occasionally (like once a week or something) to avoid having to run the wallet all the time. That means a long wait time, but so far everyone has eventually gotten their coins. If you have trouble you can probably get help by opening a ticket with them.

As far as I can tell there won't be any change to the mining instructions. The code will change to the new algorithm (equihash) on December 6. If I learn anything different I will post it here.

The hyperinflation scheme never added any real value to begin with. Everything else will work much the same as before. Inflate insanely and then pay insane interest to offset nearly all of the inflation? Sorry, that was kind of pointless. Removing it is either neutral or adds value. (Although I was never as strongly against it as were some others, I also never saw much point to it.)

The 'endless' hyperinflation scheme ends in one week.

Guys, I had and have literally nothing to do with the design or implementation of busy.org. I donated some money to them to finish development because they had what looked like a solid team and good progress but not really enough funding to keep going. I've also give them some advice but primarily on organization and funding. Most if not all of the concepts and vision for busy were in place and even partially implemented before I got involved with it at all.

So i don't know what this comment about stealing ideas is about (I didn't read all the past messages) but certainly nothing like that happened with busy. Though I will say if these 'ideas' involved posts on bitcointalk that is certainly going to be fair game in practice; anyone can find those with a web search.

Steem dollars (SBD) is a "pegged" smart coin that is intended to retain a value close to 1 USD (and recently at least has been doing a decent job of remaining close to that). I you are looking to speculate on the price/adoption/market cap of the Steem platform, SBD is probably not what you are looking for. STEEM is the token for that.

There is no firm date set since there is no final release of the update implementing the hard fork. I think the tentative date is December 6, but I don't know the exact time or block height.

There is more to the change in market sentiment than just the chart. There is a huge revamp of the economic model on tap (no more hyperinflation). No one can promise this will make a difference longer term, but for now the market seems to like it.

This was done

Yes we will. There is ultimately going to be no reason for any coin not to support i2p (the main reason currently is the Java-based i2p router is annoying if you don't normally use Java). It just makes good sense to do. We already work pretty well with Tor though


chainradar and minergate both have AEON chain explorers.

Latest update on the economic model hard fork. I expect this to be enacted without additional significant changes (my opinion only).

The instructions are here:


It was released as a testing version and has some limitations involving rescanning of old wallets (click through and read including the FAQ a few posts after that if this applies to you). Other than that, no problems has been reported in over a year, so it should be fine. The branch has been updated with some patches keeping it in sync with the latest release from master.

The pruning version runs pretty easily in 2 GB and I've been told people have used it in 1 GB.

Less memory usage is coming.

I'm not sure about the RAM requirements.

The last estimate I saw was taking about a minute of CPU time for transaction on a desktop. That probably varies depends on specs, but it will very likely be longer and certainly be a high battery drain on mobile.

Also the usability (RAM/CPU resources) comparison will be made, and Monero will come out ahead easily. As you say this is a medium term concern likely fixed by improved technology longer term, but for now it will be mild to moderate positive for Monero.
