yeah, I think we already have atleast 2 forks because of low participation (I've seen one stuck at block 500, and the other at 782), lol
Wait guys, I need to create a new blockchain and spread it over 2 servers and hardcode them into the wallet, or else this might repeat itself.
I might also add a checkpoint or two.
Please stop mining for now.
PS: It's also cool to learn about such things in realworld experiments, so thanks alot to whoever spends a few CPU cycles for this. Awesome!
Shouldn't the clients just use the longest chain they find so the fork wouldn't matter? Just asking I really don't know ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Ofcourse, ofcourse. No, forget everything I said, I need to use my brain more. It's just a stupid error! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) There was still an old checkpoint set in the code that expected block nr. 500 to be a certain hash. (goes back to mr. spread) I forgot to remove those checkpoints, aahrg! And that's what created this mess. Wait, I'll look over everything once more, and restart a new chain. Ok cool, I look forward to playing with the voting tomorrow again ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

my miner stopped mining, can't restart it... no error messages, just no hash power... probably nobody on the network?
I have 1 miner at home and 1 remote server running all the time now. What peers to you see when you do a getpeerinfo? And what current block nr does your wallet show right now? I was going to say the same. Miner is out of sync since around 14.01 SPR miner time (GMT probably). Looks like someone put some resources on it and forked us off. ASICs already?

In any case, it's about time we started a few real world experiments. I have lots of ideas for future experiments, ... And those experiments are also good to test what we thought we already knew. Stay tuned!

Amen to that ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Just got a brand new laptop ready for this test cycle. Bring it on! Very cool. I had to work until now, but I can now concentrate on the experimental build again. BTW.. What laptop did you get? Also, you really wanna CPU mine with your new laptop? I hope it has a good cooling system? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Just got a Dell, nothing special... just reserved for the test whenever you're ready. After that we'll throw some more power at it ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks man, I really appreciate your help! Woops, and boom goes the dynamite! Legendary Status!

I sensed that I was summoned (and that I might be the recipient of some SPR). Is this really true? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Congrats on the Legendary Status, Georgem! I'll have coins send you the 300 SPR - you deserve it!

Legendary Status!
Congrats! I have some catching up to do on SPR history. For a moment I thought everybody was calling you Legendary because you released a legendary new piece of software, i.e. Service Nodes. Perhaps the 2 events coincide shortly after each other and this was the first step. Looking forward to the next legendary performance in crypto history ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It will certainly be quite an impressive feat for Georgem to complete the Service Nodes. Once the block explorer is out we SN operators can run a few bitcoin nodes - I hope to run a few. If we get enough up, people will take notice and things will get really quite interesting. (If things don't get really interesting when nodes are released to main-net, which I highly doubt!)

Ever the pessimist, FIFY. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) But yes, I am sure - in fact I hope to be able to give you some credit for it getting that high. Didn't you know Mr. Spread eats SPR, which give him super Jedi Mind Skillz so he can assist Georgem in making the most awesome cryptocurrency since, erm, Bitcoin?

maybe i'm just being unlucky lately, but i'm not finding the same amount of blocks as before, and the net is the same all the time, something wrong...

@georgem: what's the hold up? We were testing a few days ago. Please update with the newest CPU miner and we'll continue the test process. I'm sure I'm not the only person here ready to continue!
I'm on it, I'm on it! maybe i'm just being unlucky lately, but i'm not finding the same amount of blocks as before, and the net is the same all the time, something wrong...
Just bad luck. I can't see anything unusual.

Should be very easy to adjust mining software since SpreadX11 (both the X11-part and the Spread anti-pool-mechanism-part) stay exactly the same, just a new byte has to be introduced, and somekind of GUI or CMD input read in so that miners can type in or set their vote. (Or simply let them write in their vote in the conf file, and it will be used from then on.)
Right now I'm creating an experimental build for testnet that will allow us to CPU-mine and set our vote and observe how the percentage changes over time (1440 votes per day).
Should be fun. I hope to have it finished in a few hours.
I'm not a big fan of having to modify miner software especially since some paid for optimized closed source miners which will probably not get updated. Would it be possible for the wallet to add the voting part when a block is found (from via the .conf or something?) while using current mining softwares?
