[ANN] SpreadCoin | Decentralize Everything (decentralized blockexplorer coming)

[georgem]

If you want SpreadCoin SN to do so many things, you need to drastically increase the Dev capacity. No point keep adding features to the plan but no beta to show. Maybe you should work with multiple Coins, each realize one big feature.

If you want to know exactly what I am currently working on look at the roadmap:

http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735.0

(Currently working on Breakthrough 1, a pretty bold goal)

Take with a grain of salt whatever additional ideas people spread around in this thread.
It's just brainstorming, and who knows, good ideas might develop out of it.
(We do have a few separate R&D fiels that will become more important over time)

Sounds like a scam.   Might as well search for scammernakamoto.  Do not take from our hard earned nodes!  I thought spread coin was above all that.  We do not want to turn into fedoracoin do we?

Don't worry, I think people here are just brainstorming, so always take such unofficial ideas with a grain of salt.

One day we might have a vanitygen-competition, but only if it can run on top of a blockchain-based crowd-funding mechanism, where participants themselves decide the goal of the competition and the prize-collateral they are willing to bet. No middlemen whatsoever. And most importantly: people who don't want to participate, don't need to.
Such schemes must always work in a trustless, permissionless manner, where nobody has any control or liability: with only cryptography as the sole guardian needed.

As a libertarian I understand the principles of decentralization pretty well, so rest assured that everything I research and develop has the goal of increasing decentralization, or finding new ways of decentralization where it hasn't been tried before.
I am not here to please investors or fintech or my own or someone elses financial needs. But in the end, the world is in dire need of more decentralization so all the aforementioned parties will find value in truly decentralized systems.

That's why I'm building the decentralized blockexplorer.
That's also why I am building servicenodes that run with a competitive collateral. (decentralizing away the need for a "king" that decides the amount of collateral for everybody else)
Literally everything I will work on will have the name "decentralized" in front of it, or else I'm simply not going to touch it.

You get the idea: if it can't be done in a decentralized way, we shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

So with this in mind, I understand that not everybody here has the same mindset. Not even all of the core members.
But I am not here to police other people's "ideas".

But I'll do everything I can to not let conflicting agendas dissuade spreadcoin from achieving true decentralization.

---

So... I'm putting a few things together.

I understand that what people are most waiting to see is some sort of update about the work I've been doing. And not just once, but in a regular manner, maybe once a week?
It will take me a few days to put all the experiments I have done (and their results) in a digestible form that can be publicly presented.
I do have a promising format in mind that I can use to present updates, possibly in the form of a youtube podcast.

Please bare with me for a few more days, to get everything in order.

Thanks everybody!

When can I expect this weekly update you mentioned close to a month ago?

[Ayers]

because this is a decentralized 100% project, can the value be added on the wallet, and maybe a decentralized exchange built in the client itself, so we can trade directly there?

[defunctec]

Whats the current progress on servicenodes?
Bitcoin Core upgrade?
Decentralised block ex?
Intelligent testnet environment?

Nothing added to github for months and months. Servicenodes late again and again...

Tell me again why I bother with SPR? Or should I just listen, believe and buy at these "cheap" prices?

I wouldn't be surprised if georgem doesn't release servicenodes at all, pretty grim but I just can't see it.

I'm currently selling most of my coins (unfortunately),  hopefully I can buy back at much lower prices once the market tanks for real.

Good luck everyone, don't be blinded by the prospect of flashing lights, money and fame... think with your head and trade accordingly.

And for ur information georgem is the true dev of this coin if he wasn't him now this coin worth 0 so it's good that u have where to sell  remember this so keep up the good work georgem and congratulations for what u have done till now

Georgem is good (wallet, vangen, nodes, website, blockex), i'll keep a small amount of spr because of this. But i'm also trading, i see the price dropping even more than it already has, so why not sell now and buy later?

My reasoning is the price is where its at because of speculation on service nodes being released soon. Its clearly not going to happen anytime soon. So i expect a small temp bounce in price and then a drop in price to around 6000-7000

Exactly this happened.

The problem now is on the one day chart. MACD red line is ready to cross the black (not good). The one day chart show's a huge bearish reverse flag ready to explode down.

I think this is down to one maybe two investors with over 200,000 SPR totally getting out of dodge, regardless of losses.

Sad to see, but an opportunity to maybe pick some coins up between 1000 - 3000 sats

because this is a decentralized 100% project, can the value be added on the wallet, and maybe a decentralized exchange built in the client itself, so we can trade directly there?

There are already clients that do this, but they use APIs to exchanges:



TierNolan has been looking to do altcoin swaps (exchanges) for about 3 years. Some recent BIPs and other general crypto technology enhancements have brought this much closer.  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1364951.0

There was also a bunch of work done by Coinffeine, but after launching their project they decided to go down the closed source bank funded route (we were in contact with them to do something together).

http://www.coindesk.com/coinffeine-centralized-exchanges-distributed-alternative/

So, the short answer is yes. Client side trading, lose the API with atomic swaps.

The key question will be, by the time we need to consider this issue: what will be the regulations issues preventing us from doing this?

I was amazed that the Bank of England in the UK has decided to release its own Crypto currency.  They see that as some sort of future to releasing physical currency.  This will 100% be something they can plan for 30 years time.

But (and what I big butt), by making official currency crypto, they risk much easier accessibility to decentralized exchanges whose current limitation is interacting with fiat controlled by banks. So, once they get this and the risks it poses, they will look to clamp down on those running decentralized exchanges - even if its tens of thousands of nodes spread around the world.

Bank of England crypto or 'Fedcoin' will cut out the banks. These are currently the policemen for governments.

It's a shame really. I always knew it would come to a point where central banks start to make their own crypto's. Plus, media has been pushing the cashless society because of negative interest rates and the resulting mass cash withdrawals.

The BOE swoops in with BOEcoin, orders cash to be returned, save's government a fortune on debt servicing and the BOE are hero's.

But really it would be a POS coin with 3% return for BOE stake holders

Hi !
I have a problem with transaction , this morning i send pepe coins from my wallet to my account in trademarket but coins no goming in account.
Transaction details:
Status: conflicted

What is the problem ?
Thanks !

[Abou Talha]

You have to run a servicenode to secure your PEPE transaction.

Sorry , i was wrong the forum for this question! I mine two coins and my problem is with pepe wallet , no with spread .

No worries! Feel free to stay and hang out with us!

I've been keeping very close tabs on crypto + torrent projects, details here

The technology is getting closer to being plug and play. This opens up the possibility of enabling ServiceNodes to run legal torrents with operators distributing (relay directly from movie houses) content locally and sharing in pay-per-view revenues paid by users to rights holders.

For example, Netflix is just one big ServiceNode. We could have thousands of nodes distributing content locally. So, why not?

Please vote:  here

Worth looking at, but something on testnet ASAP would be great.

I did a bit of playing around with trex's tools and such and did a bit of analysis. Can anyone help decipher what's going on?

If I had to guess the coin is in for another pump.  Lots of these guys go around and pump a coin for a couple of days and walk away with a small profit.  It looks like someone is pushing the price down, accumulating spread, and will pump it in a short while. :/

Buy support is up by a few Bitcoin. I think someone would have trouble manipulating the price further down unless they're cool w/ losing a lot of SPR.

Hey Coins,

When will there be more information on the Bitcoin halvening event (http://blockchain2020.com/block-420000/blockchain-2016/) in London - in terms of tickets/ prices etc. Will there be a way to stream it online for a small fee?

Waiting for testnet before getting things moving around here:

As can be seen from our contributions on pushing Dash up the price charts, we can be pretty prolific when we want to be:

Ok, here it is, in all its beauty. Top 50 Posters, all fabulously awesome people.

It includes all 3133 pages, today.

Was this ever made;

I will work on a historical visualization, like a time lapse animation, where you will see people appear and disapper, growing over time, stagnate (like tantestefana after the hack), etc...
maybe even visualize who quotes who, etc...

And ultimately: wordclouds.

*Giggity*

That buy support tho

Background:

Back in January, someone (we don't know him/her) posted a comment on an Azure blog post that Microsoft Azure should allow Spreadcoin onto the Azure BaaS platform:



https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-blockchain-as-a-service-update-3/

Marley Gray, Director @Azure, said it would be great to have Spreadcoin on the platform.

Read more about the Azure Blockchain as a Service, here: http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-blockchain-azure-marley-gray/

I don't recall seeing any details about the final vote, but it seemed like most people were for this application to proceed?

I would also suggest to get on one more exchange, Polo would be good.
