So, I want to clear something up that a lot of the crypto community seems to be unaware of. SolidCoin, not Peercoin, was the first currency to do proof of stake (PoS).

SolidCoin v2.0 was released October, 2011

https://github.com/solidcoin/solidcoin

https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2012-01-09-bitcoin.markdown

Github staff issuing DCMA takedowns of github repositories?

Ah well, it couldn't last for ever, time to start making alternative arrangements.

Cheers

Graham

I take it you have looked at their DMCA policy?
https://help.github.com/articles/dmca-takedown-policy/

Seems to me to be sensible. You should
take into account that they themselves could be held as
liable were someone to to take infiringement up to courts.

That being said, if you know a decent alternative, do please
elucidate.

I was labouring under a misapprehension, I'd misinterpreted the “Bitcoin” commit comment as the committer's affiliation. Nevertheless, the identity of the originator of that particular DCMA takedown request is not revealed and I don't welcome either the opacity or what it implies.

Minimally it prevents checking the claim that Solidcoin2 was indeed the first “proper” PoS. Its features and clone heritage are now essentially indeterminable and the removal of the source code effectively prevents any remediation.

If anyone has a copy of the code from which they can report details of: genesis block hash, root merkle hash, nonce, ntime, starting diff, etc. I'd be grateful for a PM.

Cheers

Graham
