Hi,

I don't know if someone already mention that, but I still don't understand why bitcoin services are using freenode as their IRC channel service.
Freenode was meant for open source projects and this should not change. I think it's time for the crypto-community to launch his own channel service to promote projects around a reliable chat service. I don't know #opencurrency #cryptochannel #anythingelse
Of course bitcoin-core and many altcoins are opensourced so their use of freenode is normal. But what about these folks from pools, mining softwares and hardwares, using freenode ast a support channel for closed and paid services ??

THIS SHOULD STOP. IT'S TIME TO LEAVE FREENODE.

Hi,

We are offering a bounty to the first 5 pools that will add metacoin. The only condition for the bounty, the coin cannot be removed before at least one month. Bounty will be paid in two times. First payment once the pool is up and second one at the end on the month.

Contact me inbox for further discussions.

Thx all!

Metacoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=677710.0 devs have worked on many potential features for the coin future including a built-in escrow.
It's a feature that will allow two unrelated people to exchange without a third party in a trustless and secure way. What do you think of that feature? Is it useful and needed ? do you think it may foster the coin adoption or will people still continue to use traditional escrow services ?

PS: I haven't read the paper so I don't know the technical of how it'll work, just want to talk about usefulness and potential extent of such a feature.

Metacoin is not like any other altcoin. Development to include a decentralized clearing system in its core started. This feature will make this coin truly unique with something that even bitcoin didn't achieved. For example with metacoin you will be able to exchange other altcoins without the need of an escrow or reputation thread. You'll be able to buy almost anything without worrying to get scam by a malicious seller...
The contracts in it allow metacoin transaction to be enforceable if anything goes wrong; these contracts can be redemeed at any time or get listed in an OTC market. It's a major stepstone since bitcoin itself. Don't miss out and read the paper here

How to sync the wallet ?

1) Manually add nodes under console
addnode node[number].metacoinproject.org add

2) Or create and add a metacoin.conf file
to to get it syncing, metacoin.conf file must be in appdata/roaming/metacoin dir on Windows or .metacoin on Linux

Example of a working metacoin.conf file :

server=1
port=8485
rpcport=8484
addnode=node1.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node2.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node3.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node4.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node5.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node6.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node7.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node8.metacoinproject.org
addnode=node9.metacoinproject.org
addnode=137.135.210.36
addnode=162.243.101.220
rpcuser=metacoin_user
rpcpassword=c11bWq71Ut23a4fM1b3dfc5bb52dXPf31

Mining:

mine using < gen=1 > in metacoin.conf or  < setgenerate true >  from the console
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/QRK/ miners for enhanced cpu mining
or
using sgminer for gpu mining.  It works using -k quarkcoin
