yacoin is the stupidest name i ever heard

In regards to the data removal, what could be done, is that the DTC account that added would have to pay a subscription of sorts, to keep the data in the blockchain, such as 0.0000001 DTC per block or some other interval. This would ensure that it isn't just useless information being added. And to keep useful data in the chian there should be a lottery of sorts, for the most accessed/downloaded blocks, giving them a portion of the mined DTCs. I understand there may be potential abuse by the posters continually accessing a block to give themselves a higher chance of winning the lottery, but one could simply make a hashcheck of the ip looking to access the block, and only give them a point if it is the first access of the block.

Whoa, what are you using!?

Also was there a premine on this?

Thanks!

I also wonder if having some option to remove data at some point would be a good idea, if whomever added it so chooses.  May help if this gets widely used at at some point and the burden becomes great as well. Not sure if this is feasible, but of course some data will become obsolete over time.

So block reward is 15? That's how much I got on last block.

Something is not right ... One block I found is "immature" for 10 hours and has only 1 confirmation ... Another one was already OK and then turned to "immature" again ( has 1000 confirmations! )

Anyone selling? Ready to buy 50K DTC for 0.02BTC.

Should add PoS, PoS would encourage more nodes to stay up 24-7 and supply the needed bandwidth, it looks like this chain could be very very large. If would also encourage older cpus to run nodes for income.

and of course contact some of the torrent sites and work with them for easy implementation

@maxsolc:  

I agree with you, Datacoin should rather be compared to VPS services.  I checked around and I see roughly 1BTC per TB per month.  So say over 5 years about 60 BTC for 1 TB storage.

You get 20kb storage for 1 DTC (hard coded).  So 50 million DTC to store 1 TB.  

Therefore 1 DTC = 60BTC/50 000 000 = 0.0000012 BTC

Or 1 BTC = 833 333 DTC

Don't get me wrong - I love this coin because it has real value.  It is backed by file storage (and some bandwidth), which is worth something.  The assets of the p2p network are bandwidth, file storage and parallel processing.  Coins which monetize these assets automatically have value and should be successful.  The other coin I like is Gridcoin, which offers BOINC processing.

@oocook5u:  

I understand messaging will be implemented in Bitcoin 0.9.  The messages will be pruned immediately, so there will be no bloat to the blockchain.  Datacoin will therefore have messaging, like all other alts who use or inherit the changes to the Bitcoin client.

One way would be to just include header data along with your payload. Eg. If you were to upload a 500kb file, the client could break it up into 127k chunks. Then attach a 1kb header along with each one. It's basically just a linked list where each data package is an item. The client can then get the address of the next message as it reads the current one. So like:

msg1:
  header:
    next_msg: {msg2_location}
  data:
     {127k_of_data}

msg2:
  header:
    next_msg: {msg3_location}
  data:
     {127k_of_data}

msg3:
  header:
    next_msg: {msg4_location}
  data:
     {127k_of_data}

msg4:
  header:
    next_msg: {NONE}
  data:
     {119k_of_data}

Ideally there should be some sort of standard so that different clients could understand how each other are adding data to the network. The system could support multiple data storage methods as long as info about which method was being used was also included in the header of a message.

I will also add +250 DTC for the best logo. Let's wait a week (until Nov 25) before making any decisions.

I see this coin as having huge potential, probably none monetarily for a while, but in terms of informational value, it supercedes any coin to date. Wikileaks could have a huge use for this coin, having whistleblowers post leaks through Datacoin, ensuring anonimity on leakers side, along with the full integrity of the information. Once information of value starts coming in, there will be some serious monetary value to this coin. I'll be looking to get all machines I know running on it!
