That's great. I've opened it up in Adobe Illustrator and separated all the elements. I'll make individual files for each part and get it back over to you so you can make it available to everyone. |

Wonderful. I was just about to say that I was able to open and extract the vectors with a free program called Inkscape, and I uploaded a logo vector file here: http://spreadcoin.info/downloads/spreadcoin_logo.svgBut it would be great if you would make individual files of every vector and send them to me. Thanks in advance. If you have any further design ideas let me know, I guess we have an open vacancy... |

Interesting, but also frightening feature because it is pretty inevitable that it will be used to spread illegal content. Do we want spreadcoin to take that direction? Spreadcoin is a currency, it could be used to buy illegal things. Should we not go in the direction of currency? Yes, letting people upload whatever content to the network will cause a lot of problems. Even if the files are encrypted with only some participants having the access keys, it will be easy to blackmail us by uploading content to the network and threaten to anonymously send an access key to some government authority. and this is different to any other storage / systems provider currently active today how? ... #crysx |

Even if the files are encrypted with only some participants having the access keys,
it will be easy to blackmail us by uploading content to the network and threaten to anonymously send an access key to some government authority.
and this is different to any other storage / systems provider currently active today how? ... #crysx The difference is that todays storage system providers have to police their own servers and uploaded content all the time. (control uploads, receive copyright claims and delete illegal copies, etc..., and if they don't do that, their servers will be confiscated and their business shut down.) A decentralized content system can't be policed or else by definition it can't be decentralized anymore. And that's why government authorities would then simply attack the decentralized network as a whole. (and if they can't attack it, they will badmouth it and create more stupid laws, that take more of our freedom away...  ) ....they would even remove our pockets in our shirts to make sure that 'bad stuff' doesnt get around ...
That's the end goal, yes. The only thing government is capable of is increasingly move more towards that goal, and create more restrictions. That's their nature. |

Double standards is the very definition of government. They are allowed to do what you and I are not. Their ends always justify their means, but no moral being would follow such a rule. |

Downloading now. I've actually gone from all Apple / Microsoft to some Microsoft and mostly open source now. Can't see me going back on most things. The only things I've struggled to shake are the Adobe products, as I've not found anything better or as good. I've got a subscription and use Photoshop and Illustrator every day. |

Morning all, just wanted to jump in and introduce myself. I've been following SpreadCoin for quite a bit now, though my main interest has been Dash. I've got an Android app that quite a few people are using called My Masternodes Pro, which is a masternode monitor and alert tool. I've also recently acquired the buydash.co.uk site. I've reconfigured large parts of buydash.co.uk to work with SpreadCoin and changed the look and feel to match. I understand that volumes, this early down the road, are pretty small. I am confident that this will change and would like to try and offer an easy way for people to buy SpreadCoin. I'd also be really keen to develop mobile apps / tools that may slot into SPR ServiceNode ownership, once everything starts moving properly in that area. I'd say the buyspreadcoin.co.uk site is pretty much finished and I want to spend a little while longer testing beofre launch, but I've uploaded a few screenshots in the meantime. http://imgur.com/a/Ekfr1Also, thanks very much to StoneHedge for help and advice. Certainly owe him a beer or two with the constant questions. Great looking web site.  +101 |
