[ANN] eMunie (EMU) - NOT a BitCoin fork/clone - call for beta testers

[Malkov]

I like betatester 5x7970 thx

[chickenfried12]

  I would also like to be a tester.. Thanks

[Deprived]

I'll sign up for the beta test - nice to see some originality for once.

I do, however, see a few issues with the proposal.  Some (hopefully all) are probably addressed.

1.  Transactions.  If the network grows to any decent size then there will frequently be multiple transactions created at the same time.  This poses a massive problem as:
a) If transactions don't have to be ordered in the ledger then it allows the back-insertion of double-spends (i.e. spend something legitimately then, using 2 of your own hatching nodes, spend it again later but with an earlier time-stamp).
b) If transactions have to be ordered - i.e. once one is accepted any others must be after it - then that is surely going to lead to lots of orphaned transactions and ones which have to be reprocessed to get back in sequence.  That would then allow anyone to grind the network to a halt by broadcasting a fairly modest quantity of transactions.

2.  Voting to create new EMUs.  This talks about voting on a random node.  How is this randomness enforced?  Clearly it can't be implemented by use of a RND function in the client - or people could change the code, create lots of semi-clients (i.e. lightweight ones with nothing much other than voting mechanism) and vote yes to a seed node they run themselves.

I'm in for beta testing!

Also looking forward to see a more detailed description / paper of your concept.

[shantee]

Same here ! I 'd love to test !

Finally some innovation !  that's a relief and good to see after the many crap alt coin we have encountered during these last 2 weeks

[arsenische]

I'd like to see it too

[jimoc]

Count me in for the beta if you are still looking for testers.

[ac1d]

Great concept! I will be following this closely, as this seems one of the better ideas around alt coins. Great effort to do something really diferent. Good Luck!

[sindesky]

I want to be a tester!!!

[mebezac]

OP can verify if all the ideas in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212837.0 are also going into eMunie?

[twobits]

I liked the old name better.  And yes I would like to test.

We've been playing with a "meaning" for EMU over here and the first one you suggest is the current favorite.

Seems there is a growing consensus regarding the name too, so I'll be pitching your suggestions to the team.

I was expecting to find a picture of a coin with an emu on it.
