No release date yet?
A fork can be released in about 3 or 4 days. Most of that time is building the windows wallet (about a day). We're taking our time for a reason. I hope you understand: we're here for the long-term, so we need to put the foundations in place and most of those foundation are essential and non-technical.

Take all the time you want Coins101, I'm here no matter how long it takes, and it's better to take extra time to get it right the first time!

Why are you using spreadcoin and not a more well known coin? For all we know youve been buying up a crap ton of those coins for weeks and you are going to distribute a massive amount to yourself. Im all in on the project, but if you are going to do distribution through an unknown coin, why not just ICO it. At least you would be honest on how much of a cut youd be taking.
Thanks for popping in. The history of Helium is deeply tied to Spreadcoin, so while it may serve as a relatively unknown coin, it embodies several years of history, sacrifice and commitment. We made an announcement some time ago and will be giving people ample opportunity before any snapshot is taken. To see the announcement and the rationale why this is happening, see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045373.msg18030003#msg18030003

When I first got into crypto in Jan of 2016 Spreadcoin was one of the first coins I found, and I mined Spreadcoin solo for about 6 months when the network hashrate was between 250-300mhs total. The only reason you think it's not a well known coin is because it isn't worth $500 a coin and the only reason you know about it now is because of the recent price increase I bet... If you look around more constantly looking for coins with good development and good ideas instead of just chasing the coin that is worth the most you would find a lot more of these coins that you call "Unknown."

Fair enough, do you think that the coin is going to launch at some point this month or are we looking at may, june, july, ect? ( Doesnt have to be exact just what you are roughly planning for)

This is a very serious project that runs many years in the making, so we are taking our time with the launch to ensure it is done right. As soon as we have a firm date for Helium to launch we will be making that known to the public.

I just re-read my previous reply to you and I think it sounded kind of rude so I just wanted to apologize to you for how I came off in my comment. I was not trying to be rude or mean in anyway. I am sorry.

From what I have heard and read it will be 1 for 1, so if you have 1000 like you said in SPR then yes, you will have 1000 HLM.

For the Masternode system, is the plan for masternodes going to be to have a fixed price like dash, or something dynamic and market competitive like spreadcoin ?

It will be announced soon, but I do think that the majority were leaning towards 1000, not 10000. I think Coins mentioned that HLM could look into dynamic collateral at some point. Best to just wait for further details at the moment. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

So, unless anyone wants to raise some serious concerns now, we'll run with Master Node collateral at 1,000 HLM. Thanks to everyone who gave their input. @entropycoin did raise an interesting point about making the collateral dynamic. We won't do anything on that for about a year, but it's not going to be forgotten as a possible future option. We'll need to get a stable network first. So that will be the main goal, getting people using master nodes and creating some useful tools, apps and guides to assist in that process.

I don't think 1000 coins as collateral for node ownership sounds unreasonable as a starting point. If 2500 nodes come online, it would only take a doubling or so of the market cap for it to be slightly profitable from the onset (assuming there are no services initially that would add to this profitability). $150 at current rates. Not a prohibitive entrance point for those looking to get in now.
Hopefully this advanced notice quells the potential for future criticism of how helium was distributed, assuming everything else goes as planned.
Buy/mine 1000 spreadcoin now, have enough to own a helium node in the future. Simple enough.

I have some spreadcoins and will watch this thread. I just don't quite get it - is Helium designed to be poolmining-resistant ?
