[devlin]

To celebrate the new thread without trolls, I've create a nice buy wall on Bittrex

This is a good thing.

If you have suggestions for content to add to the FAQ here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=945972.msg10359173#msg10359173 or suggestions for edits, please speak up.

Please add the current "pool" situation to the FAQ.

Show how the whitepaper clearly describes how pools are possible but not financially viable.

Also add how nonce pool works (trusted people only/public pool would be robbed)

I added a little bit to the FAQ.  Would you be willing to do a short writeup and I'll edit it in?

Thanks!

You could also add Mr.Spread's direct profile link to the OP so anyone new can know he's the developer and see for themselves.

Direct link to Mr.Spreads bitcointalk profile. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=360096  

Unless your going to let him add it personally when he returns.

Suggested addition to the FAQ:

Q. Was there an instamine?
A. No. There was a hardfork at block 2200 to make things more suitable to solo mining. From this block forward, the block reward was reduced from 66.66 SPR to 6.66 SPR (diminishing over time as per the supply curve in the OP) and the blocktime was reduced from 10 minutes to 1 minute. The Spread generation speed and total supply thus remain the same, as one tenth of the SPR is being generated ten times as often.

I agree, this situation (pool mining) need to be clearly described to understand everyone what happen (not only miners).

Done, thanks!

It doesn't matter if I consider new thead itself a bad idea... It's only my personal opinion. But what about this (I copy my sentence from the old thread) :

What if such account will be considered as multi-registration from Mr. Spread and ban avoiding?

I'm actually worried about this, guys. Did you think twice about it? Is not it would be better to wait for the end of Mr. Spread's ban time? Anyway, what's done is done. I know, you are honest guys and Mr. Spread still don't have password for this account and will not have it until it will be permitted to him to write here again. But mods can decide otherwise. And in this case it will be a catastrophe: permanent ban of Mr. Spread and so on. It's why I sincerely wish you good luck.

They can check the IPs that login to this account.  Mr. Spread won't be logging into this account until his ban is up.

What is Mr. Spread the developer's real name?  Where can I find information on him and his background?

Thanks

Ok, here we go.
It's sad that we lose about 6000 posts in the old thread, but hey, most were from trolls anyway.

Happy to restart.

What is Mr. Spread the developer's real name?  Where can I find information on him and his background?

Mr. Spread's real name hasn't been divulged as he supposedly resides in a country where cryptocurrency is not legal.

Does this add risk to the coin?  Some will think so, yes, and I understand that.  I personally am ok with it as I lost a load of BTC on one coin where the dev's name was known.

Who knows, but it's his personal choice not to disclose his name he probably wants to remain anon like Satoshi.
His work on the github source for spreadcoin speaks volumes that he's not an average developer.

In this new world of crypto I think anonymity is necessary (inclusive for developers). If a coin succeeded to be used globally and have a value to compete with fiat and  developer identity is known, governments and large companies will try to control him.

Thank you for the answer.  He can just go *poof* then.   JG can't really do that and will certainly reap his "rewards" from the justice system in case that's your example.

[MyFarm]

Yes, he can just disappear.  I don't feel like he will, but it's possible and any potential investors should take that risk into account.

My example was Fractalcoin.

Right Also having your identity out there isn't even that much credible anymore. Although in some case it helps. But Look at what Josh Garza from paycoin and Gaw miners did with his identity fully known to everyone. With no features at all in his coin.

Head lighter, just to get here!
I think the translations of announcement should change the link of the original announcement for this one. What is the opnion of you?
