I'm not suggesting that anybody should be looking at anything.  I only said that the SPR team split up 18 months ago and moved to Crown/CRW and Coins101 decided to go his own way with Helium.

I don't know if Georgem is working on SPR any more.  He doesn't update BCT, Spreadcointalk or his Patreon any more. Given that it has been over a year since he last released anything and hasn't made any public progress on his roadmap, I personally assume that SPR is dead.

Just to be clear, the majority of the SPR team left to Crown/CRW over 18 months ago (where you will find masternodes and systemnodes) and coins101 decided to salvage his investment in SPR by taking the idea to Helium which is currently launching.

I assure you I am not trolling when I say this.  Just stating a fact.

Electroneum doesn't have a public working chain yet and is not yet tradable on Exchange which means that its current value is zero.  As soon as it is launched on an exchange, it will have tradable value.

I'm puzzled as to why Cryptopia are charging Electroneum $25k for a listing when they normally let good projects list for free.

Higher?  It hasn't even been put on an exchange yet.

Interesting to see that Cryptopia won't waive the listing fee for them either.

More people starting to mention that they are paid BTC to post about Electroneum...

The marketing machine is strong for this project. 

There is no money for nothing here. Both masternodes and Systemnodes (when released) perform technical functions.

I have a right to post here with my scepticism about the long term veracity about this project and the methods that the Electroneum team are using to promote it. I have been careful to not call Electroneum a scam.

My motivations are not personal gain, I am legally unable to invest in ICOs anyway due to the recent SEC rulings amongst others in my home jurisdictions.

Also, I am perhaps a a crypto old timer who values innovation and development over marketing and sales.  Electroneum could well be a good investment if your only interest is making money.

Lets see if I am to be proven wrong. Lets make this interesting.  I'll donate $500 to a charity of your choice if the price of Electroneum is higher than the first week high after 4 weeks. I'll try to remember to check in back here, if I don't just PM me.

To save you trawling for info, this was the last major update to the commnunity by Georgem, dated January 2016. There have been updates since, but mostly vague.

I *think*, but could be wrong without bothering to read back through the thread, that the last actual code release was in 2015.

In his own words, if you believed in him or the project you are a cockroach.

I'm very sceptical of these claims.  Electroneum are paying for Twitter retweets from botnets and also paying people to post positively on BCT.  How do we know that they aren't also gaming the investment statistics?

I've got a 1 BTC bet with somebody what is going to happen in the 1st week from launch on exchange.  Going to be exciting to see who is right!

Why does difficulty need to be adjusted up for launch if Helium has implemented DGW as planned? Doesn't make sense to me.

You're welcome.

As gjhiggins correctly implies, the HLM team would have looked into whether it was sensible to simple fork SPR but I assume the amount of work to get SPR up to date with core updates was deemed uncessary when you could just fork from a later version of Dash which already contained the core updates.  Its a smart move.

Something that I find fascinating is how the respective groups of ex-spreaders get on with their new projects.  Whilst HLM and Crown have never positioned themselves as rivals, their plans sprang from their frustrations at SPR and both projects have very different approaches to similar problems.

You should know. The OP mentions that there will be difficulty smoothing via DGW.  No matter how many miners there are, the same number of coins should be mined every day if it works.

Just out of interest, does anybody know how many tokens are going to be issued for the $40m?  Also, how many coins will be mined per day?

SPR was nearly delisted at least a dozen times over the last couple of years due to low volume, when I was part of the SPR team, I used my own funds to prevent it from being delisted.

Something else worth considering is that Bittrex had much lower requirements for adding a coin in 2014.

Fancy seeing you here 

Swoon! 

I've been lucky enough to alpha test the new app.  It is fantastic.

Mattermost Outage

The Crown Mattermost is currently unavailable due to an infrastructure failure at the host ISP.

I'm waiting for any update from the ISP, if it doesn't look like they will recover the problem soon I will launch a backup from another location.  I'm in the UK and need to go to bed now, will provide an update here when I get up at about 0530 BST.

The Crown Mattermost Server should bring itself back up once the OVH problem is solved.  Hopefully it will have self healed by the time I wake up.

There sure are a load of suspiciously banal posts on this thread.

Of course it is possible for somebody to take over SPR but the reality is that the SPR code is so far out of date and in such need of core updates that it is beyond economical repair.

This is why most of the SPR team left to develop their ideas on Crown over a year ago and Coins101 decided to start from scratch with Helium.

If SPR was worth saving, believe me...the old SPR team would have done.
