this idiot uses a simple random number generator to determie block rewards. guess what happens when i remove that and just return max block reward instead?
i will be posting an altered client that gets 5k coin rewards every time, in the next hour or so. this coin is trash and needs to die.
Actually that doesn't look possible: const char* cseed = prevHash.ToString().substr(8,7).c_str();
long seed = hex2long(cseed);
int rand = generateMTRandom(seed, 100000);
if(rand > 30000 && rand < 35001)
nSubsidy = 188 * COIN;
else if(rand > 70000 && rand < 71001)
nSubsidy = 588 * COIN;
else if(rand > 50000 && rand < 50011)
nSubsidy = 5888 * COIN;
The seed is based on the previous hash, hence it might be open to some kind of attacks, but "just changing the function" should not work. Unless he botched badly block verification, of course. I changed the function at launch to just give me 5888 coins. Found two blocks, both rejected by the network. Nope, can't cheat it this way.  glad it got tested |

The market dictated the value of the coins. Vern simply instituted the mechanism for trading said coins. All the coins added since launch were due to petitioning by miners and/or coin developers and supporters. During beta there wasn't a single coin on the exchange that he didn't have a pool for. A free pool mind you. Of course bag holders are going to be upset when their coin-of-the-week gets massively devalued, penny stock holders probably feel the same way when their investments fall through. The market is decided by... the market. And as stated earlier, if a coin has merit it will survive. Of course, it's always easy to find fault when you look hard enough.
This is nonsense, the market is manipulated every hour of the day with carefully crafted buy and sell orders, you only have to have a look at the bots on Gox to see that. There are people that know what they are doing, and know how to take advantage of miners dumping new coins. Crazy how people try to make poor vern a villain hes about the straightest shooter I have met in the coin world. |

There's no possible 'random' method of determining block rewards. Whatever mechanism you have in place will be cheated to hell in back. Just like with junkcoin.
^^ This. And of course, that is something that OP knows and have used to pre-mine the first 500 blocks VERY profitably.. DERP! The guy who said that was an idiot. If you base the block reward on something that can't be known ahead of time reasonably, like the previous block's hash, it can't be cheated. this idiot uses a simple random number generator to determie block rewards. guess what happens when i remove that and just return max block reward instead? i will be posting an altered client that gets 5k coin rewards every time, in the next hour or so. this coin is trash and needs to die. Hate Hate Hate..... do it hazard that would be amazing! Challenge accepted your tarnished rep is now on the line.....again. my tarnished rep? if these coins are open to such simple vectors of attack, they have no business existing. mining resources should not be wasted on them. etc. if i dont do it, someone else will come along and do it. thats how the world works. know why good coins like btc and ltc havent been attacked? because its not possible. I simply was saying make it happen do it break the coin....show us our foolery. |
