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

[oblox]

Regardless of whether or not he comes back, chances are the damage is done. Leaving everyone high and dry leaves a sour taste in many people's mouths, further, there would be no telling if and when it would happen again. Further, you now have individuals that are probably sitting on 5-10%+ of the coin supply because it's so cheap, they figure why not. That's not healthy for the future.

It seems to be working well for the US dollar. We quickly and easily forget people's trespasses. (If there is no harm done to us) Logically your argument makes sense, but realistically people don't follow that.  If he came back we would all forget and all of this would seem ridiculous. People would even beg to have him go away for awhile so they could get more cheap SPR.

Please tell me you aren't comparing this situation to the USD, the world's reserve currency and most liquid market.

You guys seriously trying to explain his absence or it it just denial phase?
I think you don't really believe in everything you say here. Dev left and abandoned you. He would have said he is going for a holiday or something and will be offline for a few days. He obviously knew it would crash the price.
It does not fucking matter if he is chinese or from Uruguay. If he still cared about this coin he would have said something long time ago. Wake up.

Unless he has social anxiety lol

I was thinking about this the other day.  This does follow he pattern of somebody with a depressive disorder or anxiety.

For what its worth, I don't think "lol" is an appropriate way to end that sentence njs811.  There is nothing funny about it.

His word makes or breaks this market. If he didn't tell anyone about a vacation because of anxiety can you imagine how tragically funny that would be? Everyone who sold at a loss would be in complete shock/angry, the fudders would eat there own words, and the bag holders would rejoice that they were stupid enough to push through the uncertainty. Perhaps it would be far funnier to you if you saw it in hind site. Should he come back, yes it would be funny.

If you look at the movement of his wallets, he was consolidating a few days before leaving. Possibly backing up.

Then he was testing until 1am. Had one final peak on here at 9am the next, before heading off. This was over a weekend, almost spot on two weeks ago which will take us up to this weekend  

How long do you go on holiday for?

Anyway, if he doesn't come back formally, then hopefully he will contribute to the new dev team via another account.  60k SPR with a working master node service could be worth quite a bit.

edit

Thanks for those cheap coins whoever you were 

No conspiracy theory here but how do you know what time he was checking in if we don't know where he lives?

This is a high risk high reward situation. If the coin takes off (from Mr. Spread or another developer) then we will make tons, if not we lose it all. All or nothing.

I'll agree with this, but the same could be said about any "new" coin. The vast majority of altcoins are dead. The more probable scenario is throwing good money after bad.

Before deciding to 'throw good money after bad', I did some homework. Read through post histories (Mr.SPR and some others on spreadcointalk), posting times. You get a bit of a pattern. It's still mostly guesswork, but he does say things like:

*I have to work
*In my spare time
*I need to sleep now

When I was able to look at a post time and guess if it was a weekend or a weekday, I guessed he was based in Europe.  I could be 100% wrong. I know that.

But hey, I think he started a project with good intentions. Giving up halfway would be like admitting to yourself that you are not as good as someone else, when you believe you could be or could do just as good a job.

Stephen Fry in the UK is a famous jack of all trades actor/presenter, but he has been known to go awol because he suffers from depression. He was diagnosed as being bipolar. One day he is fine, next he is gone.

I'm not sure that's the case here. Maybe he was getting a bit hacked off with all the FUD, while balancing a job and testing masternodes, while thinking about getting everything done before going on holiday.

He did once say something along the lines of: sorry for not being around, I was dealing with real life.

That's not word for word, but you can see what he says from his post history.

There are quite a few clues. But at the end of it, I don't mind losing a few BTC if my guess turns out to be wrong. Trouble is, there are a bunch of people that are interested in working on the project. And I don't mind getting stuck in, so its not really a gamble.

Like I said, thanks for the cheap coins, whoever you are.

I always found this post interesting...https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715435.msg9905742#msg9905742

Specifically this part:

"After new year I will have hell of a lot of free time, so I hope in the second half of January we will have some code for public testing"

Brings up questions like
-why did he suddenly have free time after the new year? Did his real-life work-life take too much time?
-If English isn't his native tongue why did he use "hell" in this fashion that seems like something a native speaker would do?

[pisciolatzu]

This seems like more distributed than decentralized.. i think it's actually good!!

Of course it's good. That's why we all supported it. The problem is we have no clue where it is going.

In the post below your link, he says:

"I added it to website..."

There are quite a few of these non-native English speaking mistakes.  The Whitepaper has quite a few as well.

I work with European coders whose English is their second or third language. They make similar innocent and harmless mistakes.

Or perhaps Mr. Spread is more than one person.

** I can also neither confirm nor deny that he is made of cheese.

inb4 Mr.Spread makes panic to drop the price, then return with fat bag

There is no evidence of that as far as the rich list is concerned. If that was his plan then he hasn't done it yet. Maybe he lost all of his coins again and was too embarrassed to say anything. So instead he decided to leave quietly.

Distibute is not good after dump.  less people holding coins

rich list mean nothing  I have coin where am top ten holder but not showing   I using many wallets split coins up

That's true. I had forgotten about that.

That's a variant too.

Gotcha, and JL I also noticed some colloquialisms that made it sound like English was his first language or that he was very comfortable with it.  So maybe the time zones in Israel coincide with the times in Europe and that IP trace that eightspace posted would make since.  Anyway not like it matters, it's just kind of fun to do the detective work.

So now, should I buy 10 BTC worth spread or not? The coin seems like a good idea to me at first sight but looks like developer F it up, why it is that difficult to be honest in crypto world

Nobody can answer that question correct. Obviously this is a risk and you can lost money or have a success if dev will return or someone will takeover etc.
