No, to keep them away from squatters, I mined a bunch of account names on the steem network of prominent forum members (especially in the Monero/AEON communities, since those are the ones that I'm most familiar with), including AP. They will be handed over upon request.

EDIT: The only one that has been handed over so far is fluffypony, although I don't think he has used it (not sure).

Sig spammer who is also spamming something called CBX

I think that was per-output. If you have many of these small outputs, one of them will stake sooner.

Currently you need something in the neighborhood of 1000 CLAMS to stake once per day.

Any of those are fine, it doesn't really matter. The main thing is just not to have one huge output.

I never disagreed about PoS being useless and a bad move for Ethereum (i.e. I agree with Nick Szabo).

Ethereum is not currently a PoS system, so you can't criticize it for that, yet. You can criticize it for being totally non-scalable.

I never said they aren't "planning" to change, in fact I said they are. They are also "planning" to scale.

All I said is you can't criticize them for "using" PoS (which they claim will happen in the future) and at the same time criticize them for not being scalable (which they claim will not be the case in the future). Either pick the current deployed system to criticize, or some imaginary future system at least consistent with their stated plans.

Ethereum is not "using PoS", it is entirely PoW (except the ICO). Yes they plan to switch to PoS but that is just as much vaporware as the scaling solution. You can't have it both ways.

Sorry for the incorrect attribution. My error.


You're delusional.

Was there something incorrect about what I wrote? Do you disagree that the XDN interest of "0.4 to 1.094% annual" is very low?

Many of us told you from that start that 50% per month was way too much of a fastmine. It was an okay experiment, and in theory I suppose it had non-zero probability to work out, but it mostly hasn't.

So it stands to reason that trying something else with better (?) numbers may be a good idea.

Then again I have no idea if this coin will work out any better, especially since as you say it doesn't appear to have any other advantages.

I don't know anything about SDC's distribution. Literally nothing. So I'm not insinuating anything, just pointing out that you calling something a LIE based on a richlist is ignorant at best, scamming at worst.

Now that I have brought to your attention that richlists can't ever prove anything, it can't be ignorance. If you do it again, it is definitely scamming.

The high interest makes it a bit more like a XDN+HODL hybrid than pure XDN (the latter has interest but it is so low as to be almost irrelevant). Also, the distribution is much slower than XDN, which was clearly a fastmine (50% of initial supply per month). This one is still fast, but much less so.


Valid point. I'm interested in seeing the plans for this.

I doubt it. Look there are people who claim all sorts of things. Some are just kids making it up or pathological liars or whatever.  Or maybe a half-truth, like he has that many servers but they don't mine full time or aren't all mining this coin.

30x12 cores @ 50 h/sec/core would be about 18000 h/sec which is more than the entire network hash rate right now.

It is much the same with botnets. Making claims you know that no one can prove or disprove is easy, doesn't make it true.

Don't forget one of the reasons people try to shittalk a coin or tell scare stories about it is because they are mining it themselves and want to discourage you from doing so. I have seen that so many times it isn't even funny.

I have no idea if this coin is ever going to be worth anything, but that depends a lot more on the development and marketing plans and execution than scare stories about some Chinese superminer, botnets, etc.

Richlists don't prove anything whatsoever. There have been countless leaks of discussions by whales about splitting up into more addresses (not insinuating SDC specifically here, I don't know). I've seen it myself in chat rooms for some coins too.

I don't think he's really an Eth dev, either. He's given some talks at Eth events, and has been involved in some Eth businesses.

Anyway, he's obviously someone who has been around crypto for a long time and has a deep understanding of many of the issues. That doesn't mean he is always right but I'd give his opinions a fair amount of weight, and if I disagreed with him about something in the domain I'd want to hear his reasons.

Nick Szabo has never been a Bitcoin dev, unless you consider him to be (all or part of) the Satoshi Nakamoto identity, in which case he hasn't been a Bitcoin dev for five years or so.

I described the only mechanism that exists for the resources of The DAO to be mobilized.


Then in your opinion, issues will not be organized by The DAO, because no other mechanism exists.

If you own SDC (transparent form) which apparently is usually the case, you would not have been affected at all. If you owned Shadow (obfuscated form) you should consider the privacy that was supposed to have been provided by Shadow to be destroyed and you should move the coins several times using the new (presumably fixed) version if you want any sort of privacy there.

I know SDC supporters like to say that the exploit didn't matter because it still had stealth addresses, but that is pretty much wrong. The method depends on having both untracability and unlinkability for privacy; just one or the other is very ineffective. That's why coins that just use stealth addresses with no method of untraceabilty are not considered a viable solution to blockchain privacy.

EDIT: typo, add not above

By klee using it.

I nominate anyone to work on a marketplace that does not spam the blockchain with bloat that will quickly become entirely irrelevant (and indeed is irrelevant at birth to many users) but if stored on chain will need to be retained and passed around by every full node (including users who want full privacy) for as long as Monero exists. Yes, work on a marketplace if that interests you but there are better models. For example, p2pool's share chain is a better model for a decentralized system with secured data that has only short term relevance.

In fact I would contribute to funding for this, but not to something that bloats the Monero main chain.
