Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Compile a list of "lots stuff happening" please. Yes I agree, I feel that a spreadcoin road map for the next few years would be beneficial here to show our own plans for the future separate from other coins i.e. HLM, thanks. |

New wallet version v0.9.17.1https://github.com/spreadcoin/spreadcoin/releases/tag/v0.9.17.1- new seednodes to sync faster
- fixed wrong year-representation BUG in the GUIheader,
- removed welcoming-text in overviewscreen
  Should now be easier to do a fresh sync. We need more full nodes! Of the 200 peers I see on the network, only 20 are full nodes.  A lot of leeches out there. |

Spreadcoin has done its best, the proof has been several years but still survives amid the changing trends that occur in the crypto market, this proves that dev is very serious in making spreadcoin remain the best choice. |

Is there any alternative 'light' client for SpeadCoin? Isn't any wallet a full node? I don't get what 'leaches' mean here - are those wallets which are not yet synch-ed? |

I'm experimenting with new rpccommands to estimate the health of the network.  For example getpeerinfobyipcount will help you isolate the IPs that make an insane amount of connections to your node. Like in the case shown above we can clearly see that there is a russian GPU farm that has 51 connections to my full node, which means it occupies more than half of the connections available. I don't like this and will look for a solution to counteract this abuse.Other commands will show you the version distribution:  etc |

The difference between a wallet and a full node is that the full node allows incoming connections and that it has port 41678 open. A normal wallet only initiates connections to the outside world (to full nodes ONLY), it never accepts incoming ones (exactly because its port 41678 is closed) |

I'd say the example of the GPU farm I posted above perfectly illustrates a leech: it squats almost half of the open ports on my full node, which means those ports aren't available for other peers anymore, plus this farm doesn't even have the decency to make its IP accessible as a full node, since its port 41678 is closed. That has "leech" written all over it. No, of course a newcomer that needs to sync is not a leech. Baby needs milk, we all get that. |

A normal wallet only initiates connections to the outside world (to full nodes ONLY), it never accepts incoming ones (exactly because its port 41678 is closed) So basically full node in your definition is a node/wallet with public IP address, "listen=1" set in the spreadcoin.conf, and port 41678 open in firewall. I don't think your definitions of 'full node' and 'leech' (this term comes from torrents afaik), are commonly used/accepted ones, but anyway, got it, thanks. Why do you think the russian IP is a GPU farm? It might be a wallet behind a symmetric nat/firewall, which is just changing ports often, without properly closing old connections. |

this definition is pretty standard. Look, if no one opened port 41678 there wouldn't be a network, because a normal wallet with closed port can only initiate connections TO A FULL NODE (because it will allow that). If we only had normal wallets no blocks would ever get distributed. Why do you think the russian IP is a GPU farm? It might be a wallet behind a symmetric nat/firewall, which is just changing ports often, without properly closing old connections.
that's a pretty weird explanation  , I like mine better, because it fits with what I have observed for quite some time now. Also, getpeerinfo shows that packages are distributed to this IP on all connections all the time (blocksrequested, lastrecv, lastsend, etc), which would make sense if this was a GPU farm. And yes, it DOES fit the definition of "leech" that one IP is responsible for half the bandwidth of the full node. |

The SPR community used to run 85 full nodes between them.
They stopped being happy to pay for VPS hosting for full nodes and shut them down when it became clear that Georgem no longer wanted to be part of a community and started throwing insults around at the people who supported him most. This is why the the Spreadcoin network has been a bit sparse for the last year or so.

BTW, here it is directly from bitcoin's mouth:  https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadThe term "Full node" IS generally used in this way and context. |

Well, not sure its exactly the place and time for terminological discussion, but see text taken directly this from the link in your post: A full node is a program that fully validates transactions and blocks. Almost all full nodes also help the network by accepting transactions and blocks from other full nodes, validating those transactions and blocks, and then relaying them to further full nodes. I believe all Spreadcoin nodes and wallets fully validate transactions and blocks. So according to that official definition, they can be called "full nodes". But I understand and appreciate there can be other definitions of full node. As always, the more time term exists, the more different meanings and understandings it gets. |

Ok, we've reached block 2,200,000. Wow!I think it's about time I provided an official bootstrap service, or newcomers might have a hard time: http://www.spreadcoin.info/bootstrap_files.zip(1.31 GB, contains blocks up to #2,200,000) (how to apply bootstrap files: shut down your wallet, go to SPR blockchain folder, delete all folders (blocks, chainstate), paste the zip content so that the folders get replaced. Done) I will update these files regularly from now on. Enjoy and stay tuned. Lots of stuff happening, don't listen to the trolls. Hi - I'm just installed the Mac wallet but it's not syncing at all. It says "No block source available". Pls help! |
