How dense are you exactly? 

I started a poll at spreadcointalk:

http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99.0

Please everybody give your vote to finally decide if we should continue the old thread or the new thread.

I am not so sure that this new thread is a good idea anymore.

Also, Mr. Spread will be unbanned sometime later today, so he should have the last word...

But I would love to keep the thread active that has Mr. Spread as the original Threadstarter, and also a history of the last 6 months.

Let's survive this troll-infestation like a person who has the flu. It will go away eventually. 

The self-moderators here will only go after obvious trolls who are trying to sabotage the discussion, but sometimes we might even leave their posts (as happened with some of your posts, hippie).

It really depends on the phrasing of your post.  

I think the BCT moderators just don't like posts like "+1" and "Voted", and also it seems that recently they particularly hate plain picture posts (like memes, etc...)

A limited version of instantx was succesfully tested in Round 1, yes.

Much work still needs to be done.

Just read what it says there in the first post:


The hard fork went into full effect at block 2202.

You sure must have seen that, right?
I will change the text so that it says 2202 instead of 2200 so that it wont confuse the nitpickers.  

Masternode testing round 2 is live!

You have done nothing you need to apologize for.
Contrary to all the trolls who created all the chaos and damage.

How come the innocent always want to apologize, but the guilty ones don't give a shit? 

Yes, true science is all based around trying to falsify and break your own theory and hypothesis. If it withstands this, it must be working.

I welcome this.

I compiled information on masternodes in the second post of this thread.  If you have suggestions for additions or edits, please post!

They can check the IPs that login to this account.  Mr. Spread won't be logging into this account until his ban is up. 

Done, thanks!

Nice!  Added to the FAQ.  Please keep them coming guys.

Sure.  Where would you suggest adding it?

We ABSOLUTELY welcome hard questions and said as much in the FAQ.

Done!

Thanks.

If you have suggestions for content to add to the FAQ here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=945972.msg10359173#msg10359173 or suggestions for edits, please speak up.

What was the bounty up to for the public pool?  3500 SPR?  Or 2500?  I want to add it to the FAQ.

No.  This is MyFarm, he gave me permission to create this thread.  He will be given the login credentials when his temp ban is lifted.  A couple other people will be trusted with credentials so the trolls can be deleted 24/7.

Mr. Spread has given us permission to start a new thread here that will be self-moderated.  Please join us here and stop using this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=945972.0

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  Why was the original thread locked and discussion moved here?
A.  Trolls and FUDsters took over.  While we welcome difficult questions and want to be fully transparent, some people chose to create misinformation and make the thread unusable for normal tasks and communication.  As such, it was decided to move the discussion here.  Again, we welcome difficult questions and important ones will be added to this FAQ.  The original thread can be seen here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715435.0

Q.  Is it possible to create pools?
A.  If a pool is created, any miner can steal all of the blocks.  Theories have been put forth on ways to get around this such as coding in a collateral system, but none have been created.  There is currently a 3500 SPR bounty on the creation of a public pool that successfully runs with no stolen coins for 30 days.

Q.  I heard Mr. Spread (the Spreadcoin developer) lost all his coins.  Is that true?
A.  Mr. Spread mined 80,000 coins that he then lost in an unfortunate accident with his wallet.  He was never able to recover them.  As he no longer had any coins, the community stepped up and donated a little more than 65,000 coins to him so he would have cause to continue to develop the coin.  You can read about this starting here and see how Mr. Spread and the community conduct themselves. 

Q. Was there an instamine?
A. No. There was a hardfork at block 2200 to make things more suitable to solo mining. From this block forward, the block reward was reduced from 66.66 SPR to 6.66 SPR (diminishing over time as per the supply curve in the OP) and the blocktime was reduced from 10 minutes to 1 minute. The Spread generation speed and total supply thus remain the same, as one tenth of the SPR is being generated ten times as often.

Q.  What purpose will masternodes serve?
A.  Masternodes will allow for InstantX and additional functionality will be added in the future.  Stay tuned...
