chain stuck ?
use this: addnode=73.119.36.245 addnode=31.165.17.142 addnode=178.130.36.81 addnode=94.231.134.254 addnode=178.83.0.11 addnode=83.209.21.254 addnode=93.254.60.207 addnode=91.250.82.171

So basically full node in your definition is a node/wallet with public IP address, "listen=1" set in the spreadcoin.conf, and port 41678 open in firewall.
I don't think your definitions of 'full node' and 'leech' (this term comes from torrents afaik), are commonly used/accepted ones, but anyway, got it, thanks.
this definition is pretty standard. Look, if no one opened port 41678 there wouldn't be a network, because a normal wallet with closed port can only initiate connections TO A FULL NODE (because it will allow that). If we only had normal wallets no blocks would ever get distributed. Why do you think the russian IP is a GPU farm? It might be a wallet behind a symmetric nat/firewall, which is just changing ports often, without properly closing old connections.
that's a pretty weird explanation , I like mine better, because it fits with what I have observed for quite some time now. Also, getpeerinfo shows that packages are distributed to this IP on all connections all the time (blocksrequested, lastrecv, lastsend, etc), which would make sense if this was a GPU farm. And yes, it DOES fit the definition of "leech" that one IP is responsible for half the bandwidth of the full node.

I don't get what 'leaches' mean here - are those wallets which are not yet synch-ed?
I'd say the example of the GPU farm I posted above perfectly illustrates a leech: it squats almost half of the open ports on my full node, which means those ports aren't available for other peers anymore, plus this farm doesn't even have the decency to make its IP accessible as a full node, since its port 41678 is closed. That has "leech" written all over it. No, of course a newcomer that needs to sync is not a leech. Baby needs milk, we all get that.

This is a bit confusing... What you mean by 'full node' here? Is there any alternative 'light' client for SpeadCoin? Isn't any wallet a full node? I don't get what 'leaches' mean here - are those wallets which are not yet synch-ed?
The difference between a wallet and a full node is that the full node allows incoming connections and that it has port 41678 open. A normal wallet only initiates connections to the outside world (to full nodes ONLY), it never accepts incoming ones (exactly because its port 41678 is closed)

I'm experimenting with new rpccommands to estimate the health of the network. For example getpeerinfobyipcount will help you isolate the IPs that make an insane amount of connections to your node. Like in the case shown above we can clearly see that there is a russian GPU farm that has 51 connections to my full node, which means it occupies more than half of the connections available. I don't like this and will look for a solution to counteract this abuse.Other commands will show you the version distribution: etc

New wallet version v0.9.17.1https://github.com/spreadcoin/spreadcoin/releases/tag/v0.9.17.1- new seednodes to sync faster
- fixed wrong year-representation BUG in the GUIheader,
- removed welcoming-text in overviewscreen
Should now be easier to do a fresh sync. We need more full nodes! Of the 200 peers I see on the network, only 20 are full nodes. A lot of leeches out there.

Ok, we've reached block 2,200,000. Wow!I think it's about time I provided an official bootstrap service, or newcomers might have a hard time: http://www.spreadcoin.info/bootstrap_files.zip(1.31 GB, contains blocks up to #2,200,000) (how to apply bootstrap files: shut down your wallet, go to SPR blockchain folder, delete all folders (blocks, chainstate), paste the zip content so that the folders get replaced. Done) I will update these files regularly from now on. Enjoy and stay tuned. Lots of stuff happening, don't listen to the trolls.

Please don't encourage people to use yolobit... It is a known scam exchange.
use cryptopia
Reason I didn't want to mention cryptopia first is because I get reminded of HLM every time I visit it: To this day this message is shown there. Not very encouraging.... SPR has officially absolutely nothing to do with HLM.Much like BTC has nothing to do with all the scam airdrop/forks that were declared by third parties. It bothers me that these assertions are still being spread around.

Yes, yes, lots of people still wish SPR death etc, they want SPR to disappear to delete all traces of the HLM exit scam. It would fit them well. Not gonna happen though. I dont't think Spreadcoin has been dead or will be dead because the dev has still been actively here. Don't know why someone called the coin is a dead one. SPR is alive, breathing fresh air for the first time in a long time! we are still getting rid of the infected tissue though: I'm glad that SPR's price isn't artificially inflated anymore.We never deserved Bittrex. It was mr spread's achievement, not ours. This privilege of being listed at Bittrex has been fully abused by HLM, for the last 2 years. It's the exchange they used to play it all out. There is one good thing in bittrex kicking us: HLM group has finally given up their positions. So I'm loading up again! For the last 2 years I didn't own a single SPR. This isn't the case anymore. The healing continues.

You are right, people can choose whatever they want. Let people make their own mind up though, and do their own research. Every exchange has been called "scammy" by someone.

SPR is currently listed in those 2 exchanges: Cryptopia Yobit
I adjusted ANN and removed bittrex.
Happy buying!

Funny how the price can drop from 3 $ to almost 1 % of that, yet hashrate basically stays the same during all this time. This isn't fishy at all.
|

I'm here to stay. Bittrex is free to delist any coin they like for whatever reason they choose. (We already have a missing original dev, and an exit scam tied to our name, so sadly this was just a matter of time.) Yobit is still open for trading though: https://yobit.net/en/trade/SPR/BTCI hope the fairer price will allow a much fairer distribution of SPR among those who still believe in this project or see an opportunity.

ok, I removed the from the OP. I will figure out a better way to address this another time. (and probably just on our official website in a category "history of SPR" or something)

Hi there! Anyone knows how to launch two instances of spreadcoin-qt wallet simultaneously?
I'd like to make a script under Win 10 that could run spreadminer for mining onto two different wallet.dat alternately (every 12 hours) on one machine.
In order to be able to do that you need to give one of the two instances another port and another datadir (blockchain folder), so that they don't interfere with each other. The datadir you have to add via parameter -datadir=the_other_folder to the spreadcoin-qt.exe (through commandline, or for windows create a shortcut and add parameter there) After that you can set the Port (and RPC-Port) via a spreadcoin.conf file once the second blockchain folder has been created. Use any values other than 41678 and 41677. port=X rpcport=Y Thank you very very much, Georgem! Let me know if you succeed.

@georgem you are making an honest statement at the beginning of this thread, but if it's known that these risks exist wouldn't it even be better to quit this project? Are you still working on this?
Yes, of course I am. Spreadcoin has grown on me, and I will never abandon it. Why give up a coin with high hashrate, bittrex listing, unique tech (we are the inventors of POK - proof of knowledge), etc ? Don't worry, I will rephrase the warning at page 1, and put it someplace else. There are better ways of expressing what I want to say, and not as "in your face" as I did so far. Basically we need to inform people that... 1) the original developer has left in 2015 2) this led to a centralization of the coin supply 3) which in turn escalated into HELIUM in 2017. We don't need to hash and rehash 3) over and over again, I am ready to put this controversy to rest. (Not changing my opinion though, just switching focus completely) By now the coin distribution has normalized, the market has relaxed and found a reasonable equilibrium and price level. Everything makes more sense now. So.... I have lots of open threads and experiments here, and I will have to start somewhere and in small steps, dissect everything and try to find a decent rhythm of contribution... Stay tuned!
