- Network settings tweaked
- Finding peers is much faster
- Optimized IPv4/IPv6/loopback protocol handling

Will you provide the insane rambling here?

[Nolo]

I may have missed it, but what size are the super blocks?  Are they random?  If so, what range can they fall in?

Also, how does this coin differ from ElephantCoin?  I believe it has very fast confirmation times and also has these random super blocks. 



 

[iGotSpots]

What ever happened with your 51% attack on Gil?
and your love affair with Hydoponica is so cute

 


~BCX~

I decided to let SquareEnix take care of him for copyright on Intellectual Property. Don't want to touch it after reading the legalities.

[iGotSpots]

Will you provide the insane rambling here?

Nope, I'll answer questions, though.

I'm happy with the person doing the compiling and feel he will silently answer any issues that arise. He wants his name to have nothing to do with the project. I will say nothing else about him.

[virtual360]

When I start mining Spots, can I go to the beach soon after?

[iGotSpots]

Windows is done, we have 7 total nodes sitting at Block 0.

Linux link almost ready.

I will mine block 1 before I post the links, it has a normal reward, I just want to make sure all 7 nodes are synced when links are released

[iGotSpots]

Ok, we mined the first 4 blocks, two each, to make sure everything synced up. As soon as linux is compiled, we will launch it at block 4. All the blocks rewarded 49 Spots.

Roughly 1 AM Central Time, 2 AM Eastern

[TheSwede75]

I love having priorities. This "coin" wasn't worth the time it took to tread the post, and my sleep is certainly more valuable then mining it, even at instamine-diff...

[Slipage]

delays?

[iGotSpots]

delays?

Nope. Go ahead

[iGotSpots]

Instant rewards. No 0 Spot blocks

[Nolo]

port?

[iGotSpots]

port?

Doesn't matter. Just make sure your solo and conf ports match up

[dellstreakone]

can't sync the wallet
