[ANN] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) | Testing New Masternodes

Here are the top miners (at least 100 mined blocks)

~~snip table

Interesting...my mining activity won't show up in your list because every block reward I have ever found, generates a new address. I think Mr. Spread mentioned every block generates a new address. This list shows rewards going to single addresses. Wonder what they are doing different?

miningprivkey=  maybe?

That's exactly what I was thinking as well

Found 2 more blocks today, so I've got 4 in 72 hours of mining. 1 per 18 hours. 950 kh/s avg hash speed here.

Trying hard to find a rig-renting website which does solo mining but it doesn't seem to exist so perhaps I should just buy more SPR instead.

Ya I think the whole point is that you have to solo mine this coin if you want any of them But I hate the fact that I have to market buy my SPR as well but like I said I'm not worried about it at all because I know all the BTC that I put into SpreadCoin will come back to me 5X fold So let the buying commence

[georgem]

I agree, it's true decentralised nature is what appeals to me. And Masternodes would be awesome!

For the marketing aspect:

- I think the logo is absolutely great! The website is nice and crisp, maybe a nice visual/scematic on the landing page would work, allthough I also like it with only text.

- The purple color of the corporate identity should be the same everywere (I see some different shades now on the homepage).

- I think we also should use an opensource freefont for the corporate identity. Now the Myriad is used, it is nice but copyrighted.

I made some examples, 1. Montserrat, 2. Ubuntu (bitcoin typeface, however different weight and not slanted)



- I think the Dev and the community are the best marketing now, giving input in the thread, creating a good base for this coin.

- With the graphics I can help, but maybe Susel wants to do that.

- Can someone create a spreadaddress.org so paper/cold wallets can be generated?


Thats it for now.

Cheers

I love the logo too, very much.
In fact it's what caught my eye when I was scrolling down the coinmarketcap site the other day.

I found a guy to mine spr, i think he had about 80mh? But once i told him about spr he just went on to mine it on his own lol.

The cost was higher than normal x11 too.

Damn lol. Well at least we now have another community member!

[duboisi]

What about a reward program for Mr. Spread? Surely we can't expect him to endlessly do all these wonderful things for free!
A fraction of payout to him when MN is implemented?

[monoxide]

Woohoo! i found a block with my i7-4770k mining @ 123kh/s for 12hours!

I came here accidentally and could not be happier about it.

This seems really great community and coin!

Good job!

duh..guess I should have read the manual

He already has a load of coins and he'll probably have his own masternode. He even said when he accidentially lost his 80k coins that he felt there was no point coding the coin because he'll gain nothing.

I seriously can't believe what you are saying. You need to get some help because if this gets implemented then we're centralising this coin even more. I mean why would you say this? I just....

[georgem]

I think it should be based on the majority of the hashrate. If the majority of the hashrate agrees on masternode payments then others should be forced to accept it even if they don't agree with it and do not create forks. The only way to cheat would be 51% attack but with 51% you can do much worse things anyway.

I'm against introducing any centralization to SpreadCoin. "Hey, this is a decentralized currency but I have a magic switch with which I can turn on and off some major feature". This can be employed to avoid possible issues when introducing new features but not as a long term solution for any problem.

You are a principled guy, I like that.

Mr. Spread is against any form of centralization... so having a fraction of payout going to him thru Masternodes goes against decentralization.
So I can safely say that Mr. Spread would never agree to any "built in reward program".

Yeah and doing such a thing would be a big F*CK YOU to investors.

I think the fact that you basically have to trust the rig owner with your privkey and your coins makes renting mega-rigs a non starter, even if you can find someone right now prepared to set up the spreadX11 algo for you.

@georgem:

Masternodes are what give Darkcoin it's utility, and therefore value. I'm all for keeping things simple, but you need a certain amount of infrastructure to get anything useful done.  

About messaging in wallet - Masternodes would make this pretty simple, but it's pretty simple anyway. I wrote a little encrypted p2p chat bolt-on for my Darkcoin Simple Wallet that used one of my Masternodes as a key store (address book basically) - it was pretty straightforward. I never took it too far though because extremely simple was all it had to be, send a short txt message to a given address. I didn't and don't want a full blown IRC/jabber/skype/etc. client bloating up my wallet and bringing untold vulnerabilities to my ecash.

There are dozens of coins with in-wallet messaging and a hundred ways of doing it, Mr Spread could probably have it integrated in a day or two... but I hope he will keep Masternodes the priority. They really are an excellent technical and economic innovation, the n-of-m structure avoids centralisation of any service provision and makes them extremely attack resilient.

Anyway, very glad to have you here chucking ideas about!  




edit: How about we drop the 'coin' bit, just Spread?

Yes, i remember some scam P&D coin with a message system that could facilitate jpgs lol.

Not interested, i just want a simple few lines (enough for my address) that i can add to a transaction, that's it.

But SPR needs masternodes to be able to even contemplate anon transactions.

So masternodes 1st Mr, please  .

I hope Mr.Spread tries to redesign Masternodes from the ground up, and create his own truly decentralized versions of them.
I am not against additional infrastructure per se, and having thousands of servers serving millions of wallets is a beautiful choreography.
But can it be done more decentralized?
Spreadcoin needs to explore this.

[georgem]

Maybe not.

Spreadcoin already got rid of pools, and put the blockexplorer in its wallet.
So, the question is... what will its next "victim" be?

 

I look at Spreadcoin and see a lone samurai.
He want's everything to be simple, he is not depending on other people, there are no middlemen he works with.
He always negotiates with bosses, not with their underlings.
He trusts no one, not even his parents (bitcoin and darkcoin)
He will always immediately cut overcomplicating things out of his life, because he strives for simplicity and function.
He will not tolerate ANY CODEPENDENCY.
