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

[Mr. Spread]

This should be fun... block reward 66.66666666? Maybe you should have just went with 666. No plan, just do a coin for fun called "SpreadCoin".. As in bend over, spread wide and take it deep? lol

The point is to make supply similar to Bitcoin but without abrupt reward halvings. Now it is 66.66666666, in two years it will be 50 and in four years 33.33333333. So that reward will halve in 4 years and supply in the first 4 years will be almost the same as in Bitcoin but without abrupt halvings.

Yeah, looked at some of the source and it mentions DarkSend which I thought was a Darkcoin thing.. and some of the other comments in there seem to indicate it's X11 as well.

Yes, there is DarkSend in the source code but it is currently disabled (beacuse it is still not yet fully implemented in Darkcoin). In the future it may be enabled with hardfork.

I love the guerillalaunch!
I also love that it is only minable with the wallet, meaning that there is something new inside.
Mining with my homepc now, hope to scoop some coins, although difficulty is increasing fast
I see that the DEV, although not experienced with cryptocurrency, is an experienced programmer, not afraid to try something new.
Would be great if someone can review the code to see if there is hidden premine or something like that (don't think so, but just to be sure).
That being said: The OP should be containing more information. The coin needs a nice logo.
Also I got an error compiling in Ubuntu, a leveldb error.
Was able to solve it like this:

cd spreadcoin/src/leveldb
wget https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/raw/master/src/leveldb/Makefile
chmod 775 * -R
make
make libmemenv.a
cd ..
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1

So in Ubuntu spreadcoind is working No qt yet though.

I am very curious to hear your plans for further development DEV

Fixed, I added this Makefile (it wasn't added in the initial commit because it was listed in gitignore).

I am very curious to hear your plans for further development DEV  

My immediate plans are:
1. Set up a DNS seed. Currently it uses open BitTorrent trackers for peer discovery but I feel it uncomfortably to rely on 3-rd party services.
2. Make better logo and new splash screen. I'm not a designer myself but I have someone to ask.
3. Make block explorer inside the client. I already have some working code but it is yet incomplete.
4. Make online block explorer.

As for the more distant future, I have many great ideas. Many of them will probably be to difficult to implement but I still want to make something special for this coin.

[Frigga77]

I had not heard about the 2106 time stamp problem before, so had to look it up So apparently timestamps in bitcoin only run until 2106 unless a hardfork will be made.
Is this problem general in cryptocurrency or only for bitcoin/darkcoin ? What I mean to ask: Is there any other coin that is addressing this problem and that already has this 64 bit timestamp fix?

edit: solomining with wallet works, got my first (immature) block now!

Sounds good
Maybe you can keep a contest for the logo, there are some good designers that might be to make something nice.

Probably it's not a big problem and I'm sure Bitcoin devs will be able to handle it if time will come, though they will need to put some effort in it. AFAIK most Bitcoin forks are affected by this issue and I don't know about any other fork which fixes it.

Meanwhile, I added checkpoint into wallet, you can download new version from OP. Also, I tried to make 64-bit Windows build (mining should be faster with 64 build), I made some fixes for it but it still fails with some strange linking errors.

Well, if you are the first to address it then it is definitely a point of sale, even if it is a problem that won't appear before 2106. Will download the new version. Mined quite some blocks now, it is funny to see the amount of coins per block decreases very slowly. Coins per block are now at around 66.65761667.

Wow, I guess you have lost quite a lot of money, crossposting this in so many threads. I don't think this dev is going to scam you. You can solomine this coin with your homepc now at only the costs of electricity, so guess it will even bring you profit!

So how do i go about solomining this with my wallet then?? I have a gpus capable to mine x11

[Frigga77]

So how do i go about solomining this with my wallet then?? I have a gpus capable to mine x11

In the wallet: open tools > debug console
type: setgenerate true
to start mining
Thats all

Gotcha, but my quad core goes nuts not my gpu`s ;/ How do i switch to gpus

Trying to mine with wallet but nothing happens.

seems it's working. just got a block

please dev, change algo to X420

[vegasguy]

I think bitcointalk moderators should require a facebook page in order to list a coin. That would stop all this chinese bullshit, and it MUST be a mature facebook page. Either that or a mature account on bitcointalk. If you are a noob on Bitcointalk and have a coin you want to launch , you MUST get involved with the community and have atleast 30 posts. That will stop this bullshit dead in its tracks! Why has no one done this? NO MORE NOOB ACCOUNTS FOR DEVS, IS THAT EASY!!!

[Mr. Spread]

I added built-in block explorer, you can download new version. It is available from Tools/Blockchain Explorer.
By default it won't be able to show you full info about transactions which outputs were completely spent, this is beacause wallet only stores database of unspent outputs. Also, showing info about address is unpotimized, currently it works fast simply because number of blocks and transactions is very low.
Nevertheles, it is already usefull. For example, you can see that someone collected almost 3000 coins in one address in block 630 (using several transactions for some reason).
