Not really, I think we are holding quite steady. 

Oh, you are talking about blockchain size?

I thought you meant coins per block found.

Still, that's what interests me, how many coins are in a SPR block at the moment?
And how many are in a DRK block?

And how can I find this out easily? (Please don't tell me I have to calculate it by using some crazy blockhalving formula)

I think you can ignore this. As long as your hashrate shows mining. When you are solo mining you do not get long polling anyway, right?

I can imagine.... the irony!

how do you read out the current block size of SPR or DRK?

Yes. Please read the mining guide.

Spreadcoin price very stable with nice volume. 

Thanks.  I say go for it. Even with just <100 $ you can start.
You don't need a heavy 100 Ah Battery like me. Use a much smaller one and learn how it works.

Also, with 12 Volts DC there is not really any danger of you getting hurt.That's what I like most about compact solar energy.
(but be careful with AC and higher voltages, also those large batteries are not toys).

Meh, in hindsight we regret everything, you don't have to think this way. Your decision sounds good enough for me.

I too have a (small 350 Watt) AC converter running that I use to now and then power a 24 inch monitor with one of the laptops, so I get to enjoy a movie or two nearly every evening with my girlfriend.
But ofcourse we also have a beamer we could just use, it's not like we are forced to live this way, but it's interesting how much you save by not constantly use the most wasteful devices but more and more the more efficient ones.

Exactly, what surprised me the most is, that even with this little space I use with my solar panels (in sum only about 1 square meter panel) and a lame panel efficiency of only about 16%, I still manage to put this energy to good use, I really feel the effect they have on what devices I use and how I think about energy. (I can constantly power small devices like tablets, mobile phone, a few led lamps and 2 laptops, and I have done so for the last 3 years. Total investment about 1300$, but I overdone the redundancy a little bit (buying controllers and batteries three times). It could be done cheaper. But redundancy is important to me.)

Now imagine if one day this square meter runs with an efficiency of 40%? Or maybe 50%? This would bring in 3 times more energy than is available just at my small 4 window seats... that's incredible. With your roof you could power 3 houses all running mining equipment.  

This is just the beginning. Cheap commercial Solarpanels just need to raise their efficiency from <20% to >40% while staying cheap and we will have a worldwide revolution.

Not reliably, no. Maybe on the sunniest days I could constantly run 1 GPU at 60 watt , but my system is oriented around backup and complete self sufficiency.

I even have a redundancy of 3 controllers + 3 batteries. I just want to have light, laptop, mobile and tablets running indepentently from whatever happens to my neighborhood. :-)
Also I don't have my own roof, it's just a rented apartment, so the landlord just allows me to use any south and west window seats for small solar activities.
If I owned my own house/roof I would go totally crazy with it, I tell you. :-)

Niiiiiice! 

Can we take a look at your solar panel setup? Your solar battery must be like 300 Kilos to deliever this consistent power, lol, right? Or do you only use solar energy on the fly without saving it for later?

I too have a few small solar panels on 4 of my window seats, all panels together average to about 100 Watt an hour on a sunny day.
I use them to power all my gadgets, 2 laptops, some tablets and mobile phones. And I use 2 x 20 Kilo (+ 1 x 30 Kilo) Batteries to save the solar energy for later use.
Lol, maybe I could power a USB miner with this.  



One of my small solar panels, right in front of my basil (you gotta be self reliant!)



Control of input (solar) and output (battery)



And the 30 kilo battery.

I hope Mr. Spread gives an early heads up, so we can coordinate the testing. This will be such a fun experience.

I just registered at BTER to try and upvote SPR. But as it seems you need this currency called BTR to even be able to vote?
Sucks.

Any news about cryptsy?

low volume alone has never cracked anything. Spreadcoin has a lot of things coming its way, a lot of anticipation building up!

Yes, but your "score" will also determine if you get a payment or not:


But as you say, all of them the same amount.
If an MN passes both the SPR amount test and the score test, then it will recieve profit.

I think the score test is just here to ostracize masternode owners who offer the lousiest service when it comes to "instant x speed". (think of it as extra punishment)
But again, this will first attack the people from the "weakest link" - side of things.
The amount deposited is far more important than your score.

I would even assume that a MN with 10k SPR but a lousy score will recieve the profit, while a MN with 100 SPR in it (suppose that's the weakest link) but brilliant score will recieve nothing.
Why? Because the weak MN with the brilliant score only needs a small push to be out of the picture, while the strong MN with lousy score will just fall 500 ranks lower but still remain in the business.

Am I correct, Mr Spread?

I see...
Hm, I think darkcointalk only does this for Alerts and Inbox, right? And it will inform you about new posts when you are in the same thread, right?

I don't think that we need that... 

thanks!

I am not sure what you mean with "auto updating thread pages"...

new update for the spreacointalk forum:

in the top right menu bar you will find the real time (1 min) price of SPR and its daily volume.

Enjoy.

PS at the moment it is obviously only gathering bittrex data, but I will adjust that the more exchanges we get.
