The Cypherfunks[FUNK]: a coin for a global band! Talking v2. Join! 80+ songs

[simondlr]

Cryptorush has been working fine all week for me.  I just can't withdraw btc, so I trade for something else I can withdraw.  They might pull through this.

In addition to the KGW problem, Coin2 (C2) had a 51% attack yesterday with double spending amounting to 25BTC.  Apparently it was fairly easy since their net hashrate was so low.  Apparently they were slacking on security as well.  I'm not sure how bullet-proof one can make a high value, low hashrate coin.  The hacker explains how he did it in the C2 forum.

neuromode - are you working on the flyer, or were you looking for someone to put one together?

Yeah. Low hashrates will always be vulnerable unfortunately, doesn't matter what you employ.

I know jwinterm has been playing with Blender (not sure if he wants to contribute to a flyer design).

[simondlr]

fwiw.

The heartbleed bug DOES affect all Litecoin-based coins: http://heartbleed.com/. But it is only vulnerable if you ever used rpcssl. This is not on by default, and is rarely used. If you just downloaded a wallet, you should be fine. If you built from source, it will use your system's openssl library (which is what exchanges will most likely do, and they should patch and recompile it accordingly).

This isn't critical and will be included in the next update.

EDIT: It has been patched and will come with the next update.

Actually, a rather clever feature! Easily claimable tips.

I've been a bit sick, so couldn't do any dev work. Will try to get back onto this asap. So my plan is to implement the TW fix. Then also in that update add in the alert system (properly). I don't think has been using the TestNet, so I'll probably be creating a new one to test that TW fix goes through smoothly. It doesn't seem too complicated, and it's actually not a hard-fork, so it should be okay. In other words, even if less than 51% of the network has old clients, it will still run fine. It could only fork if a TW exploit is targeted to the old clients (IF they have more than 51%). So, for all intents and purposes. Should be fine.

btw: appreciate whomever been's also voting on mintpal & comkort.

On the music front. Should have a remix out soon. Also have a friend, Marc, who is fully trained musician that's going to be contributing some beats/riffs to the project.

Cheers!

Bang high-five!

  i just visited soundcloud and gathered some fluff for the next torrent, but there were two i missed - those on top from Gevelot, no dL button! instead, a [Buy] button! OK says i, i have plenty FUNK, i'll buy some ... sorry to say the buy button wants FRNs, not FUNKs   

     so, hmm, if they are posting as cypherfunks, isn't that an implied opensource release and shouldn't there be a dL button?
    would have gladly paid in FUNK anyway

Uhm, I'll pass your message, I know them.


Edit: Done. They just forgot to activate it.
I should specify they contributed with 2 tracks to cypherfunks project (and they are labeled), not the whole album.

Yeah. That's how I gathered it as well. Thanks guys.

OKay, that was the good news, and thank you Fabrizio89, your help appreciated  
 bad news is both the tracks (and floianuhelemann's BeatWeaver) are rendered in mp3@VBR, so i can't upload them to my prime site. darn shame, that's some good stuf, and i'm sad to miss a chance to pimp their album, (per Fabrizio89's sig) as always, lossless would be great, and if anyone is selling (for crypto) i'd buy-to-share to help get the show (literally) on the high road.
 Soundposition's stuf is perfect, either wav/lossless or mp3@320, i'll prolly downgrade it all to mp3 for the torrent now, and add another torrent later that's all lossless, when i have enough material. thanks!

Thanks for you effort Groggin! It's a appreciated.

It seems CryptoRush markets are down again [for no apparent reason]. They really are not doing a decent job of staying in contact with coin devs. I'll contact them again.

Cryptorush is insolvent and trying any way they can to recover.  Right now even if you could sell Funk on there, there is no way to get your funds back out unless you trade for another altcoin.  Next time Funk does come back up, I'd withdraw everything if you could and wait to see if the become solvent again. Right now there is no way to get BTC, LTC or others out of the exchange.

Keep up the good work!

so good the coin is

 how can we interest services like spotify, pandora, itunes, ringtone sellers, etc., to accept FUNK?

In due time. If we become big, we'll have more clout. As a start, I think it would be cool to sell iTunes gift-cards for FUNK (it shouldn't be too difficult to do).

Also, if enough songs are made with the band, we can just start our own streaming service of JUST Cypherfunks music.

[simondlr]

So. I took time to fully understand the TW exploit & the fix. By the looks of it, the fix actually introduces new problems [that have affect coins such as Aiden & Coin-o].

I might be wrong. But if you have thoughts, please add them to this thread. I posted about the whole thing there:
