[ANN] 42 | Time to Revive 42 Coin - Everyone get in here!!!

[funkenstein]

Ok - so what is the big deal?

Well everyone has to answer this for themselves, for me it's unforgeable currencies, which looks like a big deal.  That's why I pay attention, collect coins, follow alts, etc.    

The coin didn't fork - it continues to be mined and traded.  

These two statements are unrelated.  Any fork can be mined and traded, this doesn't mean other forks don't exist.

Start your other coin separately.

Not sure what you mean here.  Woodcoin reference perhaps?    

Honestly - do you really think people cared about the whole 42 coin cap thing?  Quite the gimmick, like so many alt coins.

Because nobody has responded otherwise, this is a confirmation of your statement.  Indeed, nobody cares about the total money supply!!  
This example doesn't bode so well for a 21million BTC cap on mainnet bitcoin does it.  

Edit: well perhaps the market showed some signs of caring

when hendo created the software of the 42coin, he found a new mineral in the cripto world. This mineral exists, although no one would it have imagined to create it, dont forget the text, "the maths existe although no one discover it". we use it.
And we know that never, in the all universe will found more that 42 pieces, it's a wonder found by someone who looked the other way.
I think that the people who have some coin on your property can feel privileged.
And possibly,who knows, maybe can be useful to change scarce resources in the future.

Sadlz this coin is pretty much done

[sirslayer]

Wrong!!!!

[Hippie Tech]

Wrong!!!!

The scammers at cryptsy will never let ANY their "limited supply" inhouse shitcoins die !

craptsy FTW !!

so there are more than 42 coins in the wild?

i saw 45.xxxx money supply

correct?

[zul32]

A few pages back, people were asking for a link to a working wallet (the first page is not working). Their main website isn't coming up at all either.

Any help please?

Thanks

Correct. A common mistake by "developers" who dont really know what they are doing

https://github.com/fourtytwo42/42/blob/master/src/main.h#L36

They think the above line limits the total supply. But it does not. All it is used for is a sanity check for transaction creation.

https://github.com/fourtytwo42/42/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L835-L867

In reality 42coin has no cap and will continue to create 0.000042 coins per block forever. The title of this thread should really be changed

I would also advise people to be extremely careful with the above links. I dont have my pc on me so cant test it for anything malicious right now. But common sense should tell you not to download a wallet posted by a brand new account...

Hi, long time no post I know...

I've just been reading up about BitCoin's XT or some such name being different to BitCoin Core while both are being used for transactions.

I've also read another dev has ported 42's wallet and forked it so they have a common point of origin, but am I interpreting correctly that (in this example) if a third person were to create a rival wallet to the current 42 wallet, then that wallet (if it gained 50.01 % of the wallets on the network) would become the default wallet?

If so, how is that determined?  Is there code in the wallet which makes an assertion that is broadcast? Or is it, "well duh, there's 50.01 % on the network using it, therefore it must be the default wallet..."?

Thanks for reading,

What determines if you are using the "proper chain" is that the receiver of payment accepts your coin.  That's all there is to it.  If you can pay with the coin, then that makes it valid coin. 

The question is thus put on the seller: what coin shall we accept?  Probably the seller wants to accept coin that will continue to be valuable, that they can then use to purchase other goods and services.  It's determined by markets..  by economics if you will.  See e.g. http://economicmajority.xyz/ for further discussion. 

In other news, the owner of the github repo "fourtytwo42" has made an interesting commit:

!!! 

I fired up the wallet and don't see any blocks mined on this chain which is limited to 42 coins, in two months.  Somebody throw some scrypt hash on this please!!  For the lulz!!  Or just for the 42 BTC millies I offered for any amount of 42coin fees mined in block 990382.

I'm not sure you understood the question and you seem to have gone off on a tangent...

Thanks anyway people.

Sorry for the tangent.  Care to explain the question again? 

[mmfiore]

What is the latest version and where do I get the current version of the wallet?

[smarterhash]

well - there's no reduction in people mining the coins...

what's it called? 49 Coin

soon to be 50 coin?

LOL

[alt19]

any block explorer?
estimated inflation over the next 10 years?

the information is needed for http://alt19.com/19/cryptocurrency.php

Found only this: http://42.blockexp.info/, but it stuck on block#1144738. 

Looks like after 10 years we will have around 350 42 coins...

well that's not horrible ... maybe there can still be a fork but planned out in say 2017 ... should be enough time to get the word out ... and it sets a limit of 420 coins ... then maybe shift the decimal point some how make the reward 42 ... 35 coins will be in the wild after 10 years that way and it can reward forever @ 0.00000042


currently @ 48.67530052 (42s)

((4.867 (42s) if this logic makes sense))
