SolidCoin v2.0 Public Beta

[Lolcust]

Sources will be available.

So far, there has been no indication of that.

You had soooo much insider information in the other bashing thread.

Actually, no, I didn't have and still don't have any reliable information, insider or otherwise.

Still, one has to wonder, why would one withhold sources, if not to hide something....

[Bobnova]

I sure as hell won't be downloading a binary from someone who at least claims to know current botnet rental rates.
No thanks, I prefer to be in charge of my own computer.

[Lolcust]

You don't want to share your paypal login and password with Dear Leader of Solidcoin ?

You meanie.

Ah true, it was not you, but you could have asked your buddy

I just say "7.7 mio coins"...

[Lolcust]

I just say "7.7 mio coins"...

Those are quite in the open - relevant strings are in config, in fact and both source and config were available from moment of publication.

So no, I'm not hiding anything and am quite proud of my premine and the laundry idea.

Now, I assume CH is quite proud with his design, so why not show it's internals?

I mean, sure there are no parts that deserve to be hidden due to controversy or unsound design, no one actually believes such things to be possible...

Leg pulls aside, could someone please suggest a legitimate reason to conceal sources for "free" software of this kind ?

[Beta-coiner1]

For me as a miner,the simple reason is that mining SC right now is certainly more profitable now as it is worth more and can be mined more easily for now.Should TBX increase at its time I will certainly think about going for it as another alternative.I actually mentioned in another thread was wondering if it was even possible to do merged mining via CPU only w/ Tenebrix and Solidcoin. ?

I guess I chose the right name when I signed up for this site,lol.

If you don't like SC2, why don't you just ignore it completly? Maybe you have other interests?

Someone is selling Solidcoin 2 Public Beta coins for actual bitcoins ? :-/

I don't "dislike" it, but I am genuinely perplexed as to what legitimate reasons might one have for not releasing the source of a public beta.

If such reasons exist, it should not be that hard to make a convincing argument in favor of withholding the source code from potential users.

I am of course biased, but I find lack of sources in Solidcoin beta  seriously worrisome and *wrong*.
Say what you want about premines, premined coins can't have potential to run arbitrary code on your box...

Sources will be available. Intelligent people understand, that you just spread FUD because you hope that TBX doesn't die... Why should people support a CPU-currency with 7M premined coins, when there is a better alternative? 

Yep he is scared tenecrapix die now.

I am merely curious as to what reason one might have to hide the source code of the fruit of his labor

So you cannot see how the 51% attack is prevented and bypass that protecshun !!!

I hope you jest.

I also hope that if you said it seriously, that you are wrong, since it would be a horrible shame if the network of SC2 depends on Security through obscurity

To hide the fact that a 51% attack can not be prevented without altering SolidCoin from a peer to peer currency to a centrally controlled one. To prevent SolidCoin users from seeing just how much power CoinHunter now has over every single client and every single transaction.

Now come on, there must be a non-nefarious reason for withholding the sources, I'm sure it will soon become apparent.

It's because of all the trojans and wallet stealers included

You know there isn't.

No, I'm sure something benign is at hand, it just has to be...explained. However the nature of this phenomenon necessitating source concealment intrigues me, hence my inquiry

Nobody here knows anything, except that the source has not been released.
