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

[sitonmythrone]

Decentralisation is the key ingredient for crypto, and I actually agree that a patronage funding mode for experimental work is in some ways better than an investment based one. Both are still based on an exchange taking place, but with patronage both parties remain free to widen their definition of success to include much more than ROI, whereas with investments both parties are locked in to expectations of financial return only, so true creativity is stifled. You can clearly see this in art, modern music labels and film studios tend to be investment based, and results suffer, a guy investing 10M USD in a movie these days will go for a bog standard high budget super hero bl8ckbuster because it's almost certain to make a profit, but the end product is usually not great art that stretches the boundaries, whereas a good explanation for the quality of Renaissance art is the funding was heavily biased towards patronage. For crypto I think we're seeing the results of 2 years of the investment model at work, and there's been a load of crappy ico's launched that have the cutting edge qualities of Spiderman 5, or Iron Man 6, so while many might make a return, they're not likely to crack the big problems, like how to scale networks without waste using incentive structures that maintain true decentralisation.

Thank you, this is the most reasonable comment I have seen in this thread this whole week.

So far, from what I can see, the development done on SpreadWallet is comprised of two primary factors: UI/UX, and consolidating common services built on RPC wallet commands into one application.

Now, this is cool, but the wallet shows nothing that indicates any work on the protocol, blockchain, or network level itself. We basically have a fancy multi-wallet at this point. I'm not saying that is crap, and it DOES look super nice, but a lot of the discussion in the history of the coin has been about innovative ideas leveraging the blockchain, and systems built on top of it, to do something new/exciting/supportive of crypto as a whole.

Is there anything being developed that does not fall under the category of UI/UX and consolidating already-developed APIs into one spot? I mean, it's probably the coolest wallet in crypto if you get it released - but none of the big picture discussions ever really focused on such a thing, nor do they require it. It's already clear that you're going to do your own thing, you don't owe us anything etc - so I'm mostly just seeing if you'll indulge my inquiry - is there work being done on a deeper level, beyond UI/UX?

Yes I know there are constant debates and discussions about the big picture ideas, I'm asking about tangible development, not just walls of text theorizing. Is there any evidence to show you're not fully and completely focusing on just making a super cool multi-wallet?

I vote this comment the best this week, second place sitonmythrone

hi all ...

ive finally got my old profile back ...

tanx to cyrus ( bct mod ) and a few others - i now have full access to my old profile ... so will be using this one as much as possible from now on ...

How does the nvidia spreadminer work? when i click on the default batch file (example.bat/http://127.0.0.1:41677 -u rpcuser -p rpcpass) it just shows me "HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds"

have you edited your config file correctly?

this has worked for me flawlessly for past year... (2 nvidia 750ti cards on 2 different pcs)

rpcuser= "your user name"
rpcpassword= "your password"
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rpcport=41677
port=41678
gen=0
server=1
addnode=5.35.253.206
addnode=94.23.23.194
addnode=52.17.253.8
addnode=37.59.18.108
miningprivkey= "your priv key"



copy paste this code into or create the file    "spreadcoin.config" (make appropriate edits)
in your roaming/ spreadcoin folder

 8space  has excellent tutorial linc  in OP

Hi guys,

If you didnt know, this thread has recently been bumped by alt accounts who are trashing the Spreadcoin thread, and are continuously talking about having uninvesting in Spreadcoin and various other activity.

So far Timelord2067 has connected 18 (I think) accounts so far
More info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.msg17591697#msg17591697

These accounts include:
SpreadCoin, georgem, e1ghtSpace, spreadspreadcoin, Mr. Spread, Spreadcointalk, Spreadcoin_, Mr_Spread, rhinomonkey, spreadcoiner, eightspaceaids, poachrhinomonkeys, Kim Georgem Un, Georgem W. Bush, Georgem Washington, Mr Spread, hamsterinthemachine, Mr.Spreadthehamster.

Timelord2067 connected my account (e1ghtSpace) with Mr_Spread due to the positive trust I left on the account.

e1ghtSpace vouches for Mr_Spread u=461477 (activity just two) - who's signature is: Don't mind the registration date, it's a glitch.

e1ghtSpace 0: -0 / +0   2015-02-27   0.00000000      Totally is the legit developer of Spreadcoin. Don't trust anyone else.

As you may guess, the Mr_Spread account I made was a mere joke. This was a bit after Mr. Spread dissappeared. I made the account in 2015 and haven't used it since, except admitting it was mine in the thread mentioned above.

I also believe all of the accounts mentoned above have been given negative trust.

I am just posting this here to clear my name and show that I am not the creator of any of the other alt accounts.

[stonehedge]

What I don't understand is why they think you are running the alts rather than any of the other people on that list....

That bloke talks about proof but offers no proof!

Would be amazing if he was right and georgem and Mr Spread were alts that you control!  I seriously underestimated you if so

Seconded.

Although lets start the conspiracy theory that Mr Spread and Georgem are the same person...e1ghtspace.  A man on the internet said it so it must be true.

Ok, new update is available, please watch the video on vimeo:



Also, all patrons have received a download-link either through patreon, or as a PM in the spreadcointalk forum.

Thanks for your support guys.

If you would like to support me and receive a new preview-version every weekend too, please visit
https://www.patreon.com/hamsterinthemachine

[georgem]

Looking forward to my patreons posting a few screenshots of the preview-wallet.

More to come soon.

Linux and Mac preview versions will be ready soon.

Stay tuned.

[georgem]

@Patrons

BTW, good sources for bitcoin nodes are

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/

and for litecoin:

https://bitinfocharts.com/litecoin/nodes-active/

For spreadcoin use my full node:

SPR:5.35.253.206

or your own, as you like.

I suggest you connect to your local full nodes only, since we don't want to "annoy" other people's full nodes too much as long as the spreadwallet is still in development... 
But be your own judge.

The spreadwallet is now publicly presenting itself as /SpreadWallet:0.0.1/ so other nodes will know who they are talking with. 

[georgem]

Thanks again to all my patrons for helping me achieve my first goal of 500 $ a month, this will help me alot.

If you would like to support me too, please consider becoming my patreon.

I am going to release a new update every weekend.

Stay tuned for more.

Coin, stop polluting this thread with what SPR not going to be.

Yep, we are definitely "not in Kansas anymore", lol...  

[georgem]

BTW, looking to buy some hardware again.

I placed 11850 SPR at 2000 Satoshis,
I want to revamp my MacBook Pro with 8Gbyte and an SSD (It currently only has 2Gbytes and a small 100 GByte SATA),
and also buy a 2-port KVM switch so that I can integrate my macbook through displayport into my main screen/mouse/keyboard setup.
After that, there might even be enough left for yet another Raspberry Pi, 

Thanks everybody.

A few questions if I may.

What attracts people to download Spread wallet instead of using an online block explorer? 

Do people people really want to download a wallet and a full blockchain for block explorer functionality?

Just trying to get my head around what would attract somebody to choose Spreadwallet over an alternative.
