Anyhow, for the new ANN thread we can only use social media accounts that are actively used and in the control of active members of the community.

So if someone wants to be listed he can PM me.

(ATM I have only gladimor listed with his twitter account)

hey, whatever happened to mrcashking?

He started a nice facebook page about spreadcoin back in january... is he still around?

At the moment I am trying to figure out who has control over what social media sites.

I see we have an active twitter account at https://twitter.com/spreadcointeam
which is controlled by Gladimor.

I really like the tutorial you created, e1ghtspace. I like your voice, it has potential. If you train your voice a little bit that could sound really really awesome.
I urge you to "find your radio voice" as they say.

If you just use a better microphone, level the audio and maybe create an intro and outro for such tutorials, that would be great.

I have added your tutorial video next to the GPU Miner download section.

I'd love to see more such tutorials, maybe combined with your 3D animations?


1124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes on: April 28, 2015, 12:17:33 PM
This particular example isn't what we should have, but I like the idea of nodes firing off messages around a distributed decentralized network.



 Cool

Yes exactly, with normal nodes being small synapses and servicenodes being big synapses.
All interacting with each other, ...

That's the idea behind the fancy 2D graphics on the new website...
I would love to see that in 3D...
1125  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes on: April 28, 2015, 11:40:53 AM
Hey everyone, do any of you have any requests for animations? I'd be happy to make some.

Something with node systems would be cool.

You know, many nodes with many connections firing signals back and forth between each other.

That looks awesome in 2D.

It will look even more awesome in 3D... kinda like a brain simulation!

1126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes on: April 27, 2015, 08:32:28 PM
Thanks George!  Can't think of anything right now personally...

Thanks for your patience...

BTW here's a sneak peak to how the website will look like:



The new ANN thread title will simply be:

[ANN] SpreadCoin | Decentralize Everything
1127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes on: April 27, 2015, 08:24:11 PM
What are the current tasks of the new dev/devs ? Some kind of roadmap would be nice Wink

New website has a category called "roadmap", stay tuned until tomorrow when I will reveal both new website and ANN.

1128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes on: April 27, 2015, 08:13:42 PM
I am nearly finished with the website (shouldn't take more than 24 hours)

Now, in the downloads category I have a section called "wallets" where I have the win, mac and linux builds (and a link to github)

Then I also have the AMD + NVidia miners, in their own section called "GPU miners"

Am I forgetting anything important that should also go into the download section?



EDIT: everything "media" related like buttons, design elements etc goes into its own category called "media".

Posted in another thread, FallingKnife's blueprint for avoiding altcoin failure --- I really cannot endorse this strongly enough:

You need a fair start, some transparency, vetted and proven over time not to be a scam.
It should be worth talking about. It needs a message, a story.
It nees a value and belief system.
It needs an undying commitment from a core group who understands the meaning to the core group.
It needs a vocal community, not necessarily a huge community, who believe in it.
It requires some kind of differentiation that sets it a part and make it unique or better in some way.
It takes people who will willingly invest their time talent and energy to promote the cause.

If it's the best anon coin in the world, then find your rabid core believers in privacy.
If it has lowest inflation, find the inflation haters.
If it specifically facilitates a certain activity, find the people who participate in that activity.
It it helps green the planet, then find people who want to do that.

For a coin to succeed, someone has to believe so intensely in it for so long that others will also believe, or find it fun or cool to be connected.

Pure gold.

Cheers

Graham


I normally keep some distance from "falling knifes", but this one I can only agree with.

Hi all, i will be joining the dev team. Right now om away from home, but will start looking at coin status, development etc when i get home beginning next week.

Cool, you are welcome.

There was an update due, but that is going to be deferred, because there is an update due  Grin

Update?

He's just pulling my leg, don't read too much into it... lol

How so?
I always appreciate your comments and your contributions.
Always reminding me that I could be forgetting something important.

Stick around!

I bow to your superior knowledge.

As a first step I would be happy if someone could just build linux 32/64bit binaries using gitian, complete with signatures etc...
and create a tutorial / video explaining how he did it.

You're not the only one hoping for a visit from the software fairy.

But even so, what you're wishing for won't help anyone much. It's not the process of compiling the linux binaries that typically presents problems, the nightmare is in the identification of the precise population of the architecture- and version-specific support libraries that are required for the successful compilation/execution of Windows and Mac binaries for different versions of the respective OSes/architectures. The process is so involved and time-consuming (typically, days of trial-and-error compilation required) that those who've been consistently successful are obliged to amortize the cost commercially by selling the service.

It's not rocket surgery and I'd be quite prepared to take a stab, except that it'd be a week/fortnight's work in return for a grand sum of about $5. It just doesn't make economic sense unless I can amortize the cost in a sustainable way.

Those looking to a future for the SPR blockchain have few options: crowdfund a commercial solution or pitch in individually on a volunteer basis either to build OS-specific binaries on their own platforms and find a solution for the distribution and liability issues (the most significant barrier) or fund their generation by a limited-liability commercial service.

In short, the collectively-chosen product option does not include support for gitian builds, this is an optional extra with an associated additional cost aimed at providing some liability protection for the publisher from “your binary lost my 3.5 million SPR, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer”.

Lots of angles change dramatically when the business plan is taken seriously; volunteers receive scant protection and in consequence are extremely vulnerable to vexatious assumptions of liability. By contrast, those who provide limited-liability commercial solutions are well-protected and vulnerable only to liabilities arising from their own malfeasance.

Cheers

Graham


So how does bitcoin do it?
Who is responsible / liable for the gitian-built wallets you can download at bitcoin.org?

Isn't the MIT license handling exactly the things you are so afraid of?

Looks like a near full house, just need to document for SPR.

Looks like I need to create a github account.

When it gets closer, PM details of any costs.

As a first step I would be happy if someone could just build linux 32/64bit binaries using gitian, complete with signatures etc...
and create a tutorial / video explaining how he did it.

We can then have other people reproduce the build process and see if they end up with the same signatures.

That would be the idea behind trusted binaries.

Later we can then try this with windows/mac binaries.
