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

[georgem]

We will see, if spreadcoin can make truly accessible masternodes that don't need you to invest an arm and a leg to take part.

Dirt cheap to set up means dirt cheap for bad actors to set up... but as I have previously prophesied, they aren't going be dirt cheap for long.

...and what if the bad actors (who own masternodes) must also obey the rules of the protocol, and can't really cause any serious damage? (like stealing your coins, etc..)

Ofcourse it depends what service your masternode provides.
Suppose we have a compromised masternode in darkcoin.... the bad actor can then probably de-anonymize the transactions that "go thru his node", that's the damage he can do. Not more.

But if your SPR masternode is simply serving instantx (signing transactions or whatever that means) and nothing more then what exactly will a bad actor be able to do with his "bad node"?

I understand the problem that comes from DDOSing parts of the network... but what other sources of danger are there?

It's a complex and dynamic distributed system, dog only knows.    -  Good idea to make it expensive to attack at all though, just on general principles.

dog doesn't know shit, if only satoshi could help us!

[georgem]

They could only reveal where they routed it to - if there's more than one round, then they can't de-anonymize it totally.

Yes, but once a few bad actors collaborate, they should succeed.

What exactly is the definition of a "round" again in darkcoin?

By default it says "2 rounds".. does that mean that my mixing will involve 2 randomly chosen masternodes?

And when I use 8 rounds it will involve 8 masternodes?

That's the general rule, right?

Yes. Each round your DRK gets mixed with two other participants, everything signed by the MN handling that round for the three of you.

[georgem]

Yes. Each round your DRK gets mixed with two other participants, everything signed by the MN handling that round for the three of you.

ok, so

With 1 round , 1 masternode and 2 other participants are involved.
With 2 rounds, 2 masternodes and 2 other participants are involved.
With 8 rounds, 8 masternodes and 16 other participants are involved.

And those are always different masternodes and different participants, that haven't been used in the previous rounds of the same session, right?
Or is there a probability that the same masternodes/participants will be used within the same session (nr of rounds) ?

Is this exclusively random (meaning for the rest of the session we are not going to use the masternode/participants that came up previously) or is it inclusive (meaning we just throw all the dices once more)

There's code in there to prevent you using the same MN within some timeframe, but it's pot luck who you mix with AFAIK as the MN doesn't and can't really know what anyone's mixing history is.

Anyone running a couple of 980's could share some info on how mining is going for them? e.g. how many blocks a day?

Ok i'm trying to render my massive blender water simulation. It's taking 2 minutes for each frame (25 samples) I have 1000 frames. Does anyone have a render farm by any chance? Because I need one.

edit: Nevermind I just restarted blender and it's fast again. 25 secs now.

Do you have an nvidia GPU? Set it to use CUDA if you haven't already.

No I have AMD.

I need to cd into the blender directory and;

Code:

set CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST=ALL
start blender

I tried to make a .bat file that does it but it doesn't seem to have worked properly. The option to use the GPU to render was there but it went super slow. Maybe it was using my CPU's GPU.

Btw now i'm rendering at 100 samples. 50 sec/frame. F that, 10 samples.

Anyone think we should put together a community bounty fund for an improved GPU miner?

I guess Wolf0 has already sold his optimized GPU miner to some private whale farmers. 
So ,to make mining fair,it's quite neccesary to release a optimized GPU miner publicly.

60.162.57.53 geo-locates in China. Big surprise there! Lol! And 114.201.55.253 geo-locates in South Korea...

Not sure, but I am assuming that each port address is a different QT wallet... How many miners did Mr.Spread limit to each wallet?

Actually there is no connection limit to a single wallet as long as your CPU/brandwidth is powerful enough.
