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

[chrysophylax]

Perhaps I am wrong about this but I feel like Torrent to URL Link Download Service would be easier to implement. Am I mistaken?

torrent is probably the best way of delivering software that i have ever seen ...

although it is STILL in heavy use for other illegals - like distribution of pirate films and so forth - it is something that is probably one of the MOST efficient forms of delivery we have on the internet today ... something we have been looking at implementing with granitecoin ... but that is another story ...

i have been an avid supporter of spr - until the disappointment of mr spread leaving ... we would luv to have a developer with his skill on our team ...

but as it stands - IF the community is taking over and there is some movement forward - then there is always the promise of new things over the horizon ...

unfortunately - what 'solid' team is there? ... what do 'we' have that can even be construed as a way forward? ...

when projects such as this are to be deemed 'doable' - they first need a solid base ... in this instance - it is developers and promoters ( idea makers - especially from the community ) and management ( yes - managemnt ) ... ie - the solid base that all else can start from ...

im not saying that what is happening here is a waste of time - far from it ... but there is no structure or coherence - because there is no LEAD ...

mr spread was the leader - he piked it ... now what we need is management team ( or one person that CAN lead - whether a dev or not - but preferably and 'manager' rather a dev in my humble opinion ) to solidify and bring forth those ideas and utilities to make all this a reality ... someone ( or a team ) to co-ordinate and meld together all this mess that we are seeing ...

i guess its all about authority - cohesion - implementation ... things we are not seeing at the moment - or at least im not ...

just my observation ...

All of those things are great for a business, but this is a decentralized currency.  The things happening on spreadcointalk are fantastic. There is already a group of people on github all connected in a developers pool. This coin has moved forward. In a few days we will see a new ANN for SPR, and masternodes have been a great deal of talk for everyone involved.  I believe we are at the moment where a vast majority of people lose faith in the coin, the people who invested at this point are the ones who make bank.  That moment you look back on and wish you had a time machine and could just purchase $10 worth of SPR.  If all of our plans are implemented it will be glorious.

agreed njs - but even a decentalized currency NEEDS direction and purpose with management even if that management IS the community ... something i found out the hard way when i took over granitecoin ...

i seriously would like to see this move forward in a big way also ...

let me know if i can be of any help in anyway ...

Why are some people trying to rescue a dead coin? just because they are big holders ?

[zeca pagodinho]

The life of a currency is not in the bag holders!
In fact, it is the code written by its creator, and say more, life is the community that was created around the coin.
And most importantly: is the force that the community developed throughout his journey in the source code, the opportunities that this code can provide for those who could understand the greatness of this development, and also the skills that have been acquired by the community.

This is life the currency!

Does anyone really need to be in charge?

I'm not sure if you need someone in charge, or an agreed direction of travel that everyone signs up to and so all the moving parts know which way they need to head.

We all know that SPR has some mining preferences that make it more decentralised than other projects. Keeping multi-pools away is actually a really big deal, and I like it.

Pools? I actually like pools, so if there is a large portion of solo miners and the odd private pool, I'm up for that.

We know that SPR will have master nodes. The issue is what Apps to run first. Once we know that, then the moving parts can start to organise themselves into small groups and coordinate around a common end goal.

What a lot of people don't always understand about 'big businesses' is that everyone inside a big business works in small teams. We can organise around 3-4 small teams that do different things for the common end goal.

It looks like Torrent to URL download service and Escrow are the lead Master Node Apps.

If you are interested in developing one or both of these, can you PM how much you would be prepared to do the work for and we can then arrange for crowd funding, or perhaps directly funded.

Another use for Master Nodes



Master Nodes can earn 2-3% of donations for running charity fundraising pages.

This is a crypto version of popular services such as:

How works this masternode? are like darkcoin?

You know what is interesting to me? The wealth distribution is changing. The top 100 wallets use to own 69% of the wealth, now it's just over 67%.

Could someone please provide an explanation of what a "Torrent to URL Link Download Service" is and where master nodes fit in?  For some reason my brain can't grasp it.  Thanks in advance.

Just a sidenote:

Now that Mr spread is gone for good, you should probably Start a New ANN to get recent Info added to the OP etc..

My pool is still not listed and the title says still "no pools" etc..

Sure.

Increasingly, if you try to use a torrent service, then your internet service provider can block you.  Also, seeders of torrent files can be unreliable and or contain viruses.

Torrent clients contain data that have information about something you might want to download.

If you find a file you want by using a torrent service, then there is a chance you won't be able to get the target file that the torrent is referencing.

By finding the torrent file and sending a request to a download link service, someone else is finding the file the torrent client is referencing, then making it available to you as a regular web download (no torrent client needed). This is more reliable but it can be a paid for service.

So, if you want a file and you have found it using a torrent client - get the torrent details, send it to master nodes.  Others will match your request and generate a url download link. You pay a fee for the more reliable service.

By using master nodes, the url link can be served up with an encrypted url download and master nodes can help to decentralize and anonymize the url download provider.

New ANN is planned.

Out of courtesy, I guess, the new dev team are giving Mr.SPR a little more time.

Good choice, update op its important

[Gladimor]

We do plan on creating a new ANN soon. Just waiting on more info on new dev members.

Thanks for that, I was picturing something completely different.

Well, do tell.

It might be 100% better for all we know.

Doubtful, I thought it had to do with purchasing software.  You purchase software from a website and you get a unique download link produced from a master node or something.  That link i guess would be a magnet link allowing you to download the purchased software through utorrent or whatever.    And the master nodes also hosted the purchased software?  Cheap data hosting, cheap download bandwidth...  I don't know, that's all I could think of.  Thanks for the clarification.
