Hi all, I just heard about Burst today, and it looks interesting! I'm gonna read up some more on this later, but I have a few questions first:

Should I read up on the old thread or focus on this new one?

Can an SSD be used, and does it have any advantages/disadvantages over a HDD?

Glad to hear that, pokeytex!

I did not know that you could get anti-keylogger software. Any program in particular that is recommended?

Good thing some folks took a huge dump so I can buy SPR cheaper

Thanks for the reply!

Any recommendations for a reliable VPS service suited for running servicenodes?

I feel sorry for you, that really, really sucks... From which site did you download the miner program, and are you certain that this was the point of entry for the culprits? Consider alerting the site hosting the program as well. You should change all your passwords from a different computer (so it is not keylogged) if you have not done that already.

There's about 28000 coins being sold right now at 14016 sat on Bittrex

Who did and how do you think they got stolen?

LOL! I am flattered 


It's easy to stop them, just ban them. However, I agree with you that part of the fun is having the power to help or not. With that said I don't think it is necessary to have crackdowns on all kinds of teamwork. I don't mind people helping each other by shooting gears all over the place, but there is one particular move that is extremely unfair: When several players suddenly sacrifice themselves and merge into a huge blob, effectively eating anything in their immediate surroundings. If you think about it, the devs already tried to prevent this by making the mass you shoot out NOT increase the size of other players.

So, if the same players continuously do the team-kamikaze move, they could for instance get a warning and finally a ban. Like you said, a good admin to judge would be necessary, and so video proof to mods will help. If you provide say 10+ video clips showing the same offence (easily recordable within a couple of matches), it is not so hard to judge anymore.

I don't see how this can be a negative thing, it will just make the game fair again and a "deadly game of wits" as it claims to be.

I will start off by saying I love this game, and I have loved it since the start. However, as I see it, there is one huge issue: Teams are becoming so large right now that it is almost impossible to play solo. For instance, there is a Spanish-speaking team that have 7 members as of today. How the hell can a single player compete against 7 others that are all against him?

My best guess is that this is making it even harder for anyone who is not in a team, thus making it hard to win anything at all. That effectively removes the money-making incentive to play, which will in turn attract fewer players. It also makes no sense to deposit money when you are at a constant disadvantage, as it more or less equates to betting in a rigged game. Nobody in their right mind would do that.

In theory there is nothing wrong with having teams in a game, but only if everyone were in teams, or if players could choose between a single-player mode or team mode. For instance, if it became illegal to team up in the single-player mode, you could ban people if they were proven to be teaming. If there were two game modes, it could remove the teamers' incentive to spoil the single-player mode.

Also, I can easily live without being able to spectate a game if it means that teamers cannot use a friend who is not playing to spectate and reveal my position. Additionally, we could have a "hardcore" mode where it is not possible to spectate, where blob colours change every few seconds and no skins or names are visible. Even then it is possible to team/cheat, but at least it makes it harder to do so.

In sum, it looks like the teamers are just milking Chopcoin and its players for their money, while providing a less-than-optimal gaming experience for others. Chopcoin could certainly benefit from dealing with this issue.

Is it possible to run a servicenode and use the computer for other stuff at the same time? Does it have to run 24/7?

I just submitted a request 

Marshmellow Scamtos wished me a happy new year by cancelling my withdraws and forcing me to reinvest them automatically (as usual). I wish him all the worst for 2016 and onwards.

Thanks for the reply. I am already using the latest version you refer to, and I also followed the instructions from here https://github.com/spreadcoin-project/SpreadCoin-Wiki/wiki/Mining-Guide.

I wish I knew how to fix that error message. It is mentioned here: https://github.com/tsiv/spreadminer/releases, but it does not offer a solution as far as I can tell.

Hey Spreadcoiners

I am trying to mine using my Nvidia GPU, using the miner link provided on the first page. I have followed the instructions, made the conf-file with my private key in appdata, but even though the example.bat is supposed to "work right off the bat", I get this error when I run it: "Result for nonce blablabla does not validate on CPU!".

Was I supposed to edit the example.bat in any way? Does the spreadminer.conf need to contain any other information than my private key?

I think I was paid in early November, but nothing has happened since...

I have bought my self some S7 VIP shares, and so far so good! Tommy is quick off the mark whenever there is an issue.

It has been for a long time...

I must say I am surprised that the site is still online. What a complete and utter mess.

Normally I would be happy, but I have almost stopped caring
