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

[thefix]

Nice to see more and more activity here along with the hash rate growing to help decentralize the network with many miners. I am dedicating a 6 card 750 ti rig for six months to make sure I am doing my part to help that hash rate grow.


I have been here since SpreadCoin went from CPU to GPU(that was a really fun time) and its been quite an interesting ride with a stable chain and a great community!

What happens in six months?

Are gonna, like, triple the numbers of rigs?

Probably just replace the cards in the the rig with a more modern equivalent depending on how they work with SpreadCoin. Ideally triple the hash rate with a more modern rig, but double is probably more realistic with 6 GTX 1060's or maybe GTX 1050's if they release one.


Edit:

Interesting article about the 1060 and the possibility of the 1050 and 1050ti http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/07/06/nvidia-corporation-may-be-prepping-geforce-gtx-105.aspx

BTW, Spreadcoin is approaching 1 Million blocks in a few hours.... so we are having our own little celebration today...  

what a nice coincidence.

if I mine block# 1 million, do I win a prize? like maybe a teeshirt
that says "I Mined the one millionth block of Spreadcoin and won this teeshirt!"

I'd wear it with pride, even knowing that probably close to no one would know wtf it meant.

Block 1000001 produced exactly 5.00000000 SPR.

Excellent, works like an atomic clock.

Any new developments?

I just can't help myself asking... Did georgem ever keep to his promise to release an update on his progress or are we still guessing?

Something for a future Spreadcoin?

No idea. Georgem? Any news to share? Would be great to have a progress update. It has been quite a long haul since January when we received our last one!

P.S. I will be taking some data science courses in the coming months, so I am hoping to be able to help out once SNs have some data to play with

Just for reference
 
My GTX 750ti SC EVGA cards do 1.79 Mhash average (50 of these on spr at the moment) with no OC beyond factory.  These are purpose built rigs with 8gb of RAM and Celeron CPUs
 
3 x GTX 950 does right at 2 Mhash alongside 2 750ti in the same machine.

A GTX 970 windforce does 4.5Mhash, but this is a much faster CPU (don't know if this matters).

I have 2 5-card GTX 960 machines that are absolute MONSTERS at everything I have tried them on.  I don't remember the exact hashrate they did on spr, but I think they were about 500 watts at the wall.  They are on something else at the moment, and at a different location, so I can't verify.

I haven't measured the power draw any of my faster cards, because they are not dedicated miners.  I'll try to get the 970 numbers for reference
 
This is using sp mod 8 private miner, because he hasn't sent me any updates.  My email address changed after I bought it, so I can't blame him.  But I have been EXTREMELY happy with everything I have purchased from him.

ALL are rock solid, and will run for a month+ at a time.  A 6-card 750ti machine will draw 375 watts at the wall with no voltage mods.  That could probably be significantly lower, but I haven't played with it because they are dead stable on anything I have mined with them

You are right, it's about time, I'll try and give an overview of all the "fields of work" that keep me occupied right now.
Will do that this week,...

That sounds great! I am definitely excited to see what you're up to.

so if i'm reading it right.... 50 x 750ti's ?
at 1.79Mh per card..thats  50x 1.79=89.5 Mh.
net hashrate is  currenty 350-380Mh
do the math...
 oh wow man! you're a quarter of the net hashrate (if/when pointing at Spread)

 yes, the Spread mining force is definitely with you my friend...

Likewise, curious to see what the progression is.

Holy shit. Fuck the people who do this.

According to an eyewitness, the driver of the truck shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” before the attack



An Islamist terror attack in France EVERY OTHER MONTH for the last 18 months. Europe is turning into Israel.



I say arm the population. This is only going to get worse, people need to be able to defend themselves...

Sadly, france has very strict gun control.

Maybe next they will try and ban trucks? That'll teach the bad guys... /sarc

I'm all for gun rights. In an ideal world we wouldn't need or want them, but it is a huge disadvantage not to carry. I don't want to have to rely on the SWAT team getting to my location and neutralizing an idiot (or idiots) with an assault rifle(s) or whatever weapon(s) they have while I find a place to hide. Much rather go out guns ablaze and if I go down, hopefully I'll take the bastard with me.

In light of a lot of these events I think it's also highly important for the public to be vigilant in areas where large crowds are gathering, especially for political events. I think it's pretty safe to assume that attacks like these will continue to occur at large gatherings where mass damage can be inflicted and there is little to be done to prevent at least a few casualties.

Education and awareness are fairly good tools for the general public. I think some schools in America do active shooter drills now - just like they do for earthquakes and fires. It's pretty sad that it has come to that. I know I've taken a short course on what to do during an active shooter situation for a job I took. I often have it in the back of my mind that something could happen when I'm around large crowds of people.  

[georgem]

Thirty minutes before the attack I received a Snapchat video of an acquaintance of mine who was celebrating "Bastille Day" in Nice with her friends. It scared the living sh#t out of me when I heard about the attack, luckily she's alright.

I'm glad to hear everything is alright.

But when will this end? Will it ever? This makes me so angry, but what can we do?

It's important that we don't let government take away more of our freedom just so we can feel "more secure".
Government always abuses such situations to further restrict our liberties.

Life is inherently risky, I think we can't get rid of evil people, but we can be vigilant and not stand there like sitting ducks, or like ostriches who stick the head in the sand...

People really need to be armed, because most of the time terrorists won't even try to attack victims who can defend themselves. They need victims who are helpless.

We need to make it hard for evil people, not easy.

Look at the last terror acts around the world, they mostly happened in gun free places where they knew people are unarmed and unprepared.
