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

[e1ghtSpace]

Hey guys, I just created a Spreadcoin forum.

Here is the URL:

http://spreadcointalk.site90.net/

I will eventually move the site to paid hosting and use spreadcointalk.org or whatever everyone wants.

Enjoy!

What are the costs to make it spreadcointalk.org?

I am not sure but I will look into it right now...

Edit:
Unfortunately it looks like that domain is unavaliable to purchase as well as the .com and .net
Maybe someone from here registered it?

I can provide a vBulletin 3.8.x license (it's the best version of vBulletin) for free.  So really all you need is the domain and hosting.  PLEASE do not use shitty free forum software like most do.

This forum is Shit?

Wolf0 said he need a bigger exchane to sell SPR.

Yeah, we all need a bigger exchange.

I'm working on an API for external miners. I will then make an external CPU miner to test it and as a reference for implementing GPU miner. After that I will start working on GPU miner by myself if there will be no interest from other devs. Even if I will be the first who will make a miner bounty will still remain for improving its hashrate.

It's a certainty that there are optimized miners unavailable to the general public.  Can you improve on the miner you've released?

Everything is fine, spreadcointalk.org, .com and .net were registered by georgem.

Great! Well, I changed the theme so that people know they aren't on Bitcointalk.org. I'll have a look for a better theme and install it if I find one.

Where is wolf0 now ?
he was here a couple of days ago and said he was testing the improved GPU miner.

smf and phpbb are ok-ish.  But compared to vBulletin 3.8.x series, they are subpar.  With that said, compared to much of the free forum software out there, smf and phpbb are excellent.  Hell, I'd rather run them than vBulletin 4.x or 5.x.

I'm beginning to come to huge realizations here on why Spreadcoin is different:

-Lack of pools means miners don't get a steady stream of income but rather must now devote time and must have a sense of belief in the coin that they will eventually find a block. This belief has been lacking for a year now since the emergence of mega-miners and pools. This sense of belief is also what leads to buying on exchanges as some miners either a) figure out that buying and holding makes more economic sense than mining and waiting, or b) lose patience with waiting to find a block.

-Dynamic masternodes will basically cause these same believers from above to do whatever it takes to continue holding a masternode. Mr. Spread has stumbled upon what could likely be a major feature for every Crypto going forward, including bitcoin. As Mr. Spread continues with innovations, Spread's believers will fight to continue holding their masternodes. Miners, who no longer have the patience to wait for blocks, will instead prefer to run masternodes to increase their SPR.

-Like bitcoin, eventually the believers and miners will increase so much and will become so vocal that merchants will have no choice but to accept Spreadcoin.

IMO Marketing now should be decentralized in the form of us constantly figuring out what the payout is to miners (SPR/mh/day). We know SPR is one of the only profitable coins to mine, so take that message to the mining boards here on bitcointalk.org. I took that message to them a week ago and suddenly difficultly has doubled along with price and there were dozens of posts here from new faces asking how to mine...and we're again on the precipice of yet another move up for both.

Anyhow, again, the lack of pools means miners have to devote time, effort and belief into SPR... And that is what makes value go up, not a cheesy PR article appearing on Yahoo Finance's business PR page or an article on Coinbase which the PnD crowd use for a short-term pop.

TL;DR Spreadcoin is very subtlety different. No pools means a different mindset is needed,, and a sense of devotion, not unlike the mindset bitcoin had years ago before ASICs. And dynamic masternodes will only create buying frenzies among these devoted. And eventually those devoted will demand merchant acceptance.

You bring very valid points regarding miners' devotion towards a coin with no pools Solo-mining can be incredibly painstaking, especially when you go long hours without blocks.

Speaking of mining... do you think we should set up a community bounty address towards an improved miner?

Hard to say, I'd imagine that it would have to be a large enough bounty to persuade this miner with his improved miner to want to give up his 'improved' revenue stream. And we would have to believe that this improved miner is truly giving us the best improved code and not keeping the best miner for himself while giving us the second best miner.
Maybe if we tiered the bounty so for example it's 500 for the first improved version then 750 for the next improved version then 1000 and so on so at least we're always upping the incentive for these miner programmers to constantly offer what is hopefully close to the best miner they have? I am very untechnical though and have no clue how difficult it is to program a miner.

From what I hear, kernel programming isn't too difficult, but takes time.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of buying a GPU to use it just for spreadcoin.

Any recommendations?

Shouldnt' cost more than 200$.

Hmm. I would just buy coins for masternodes if I were you.

I have a few coins.
But I have no GPU... so I feel a little "strange".

Mr. Spread your right, in the beginning I have mined 1 block on my Imac   but than stopped (it's my working computer). Everyone SpreadEnthusiast should mine in the spirit of this coin to make it strong decentralised! I am going to do some research on a good way to start mining, perhaps anyone has some suggestions. Thanks

For less than $200 - around $149 new or $90 on ebay - purchase an EVGA - Nvidia 750ti.  It is extremely low power comsumption and processes at about 1.5 mh/s not oc'd.

Thanks, I will check it out.

So how much power does it consume when running 100%?
