Re: [ANN][SPR] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools)
Bad news 
I was too careless and lost all my mined spreadcoins. I contacted several data recovery companies and most probably it will be impossible to recover my wallet. Without these spreadcoins I will have no incentive to futher develop and support SpreadCoin.
Sorry for wasting your time with this cryptocurrency

I think I found a way to recover my spreadcoins but you may not like it.
As I lost my wallet.dat I don't know exactly what blocks I mined and exactly how many coins I had.
I can approximately determine block before which my lost coins are situated. Everyone who have mined coins before this block will send them to him/herself (this can be made automatic). This will mean that this coins are not mine. Then, using some hack and releasing a new client I can send myself amount of the rest coins (or maybe less, say 80%).
This rasises two concerns:
1. What if someone will forgot to send coins to him/herself? These coins will still be spendable so he/she will not lost them. This raises the second concern:
2. What if I am a scammer and want just to double my coins, keeping old ones and getting new ones? The only way to prevent this that I see is to limit the percentage of presumably lost coins that can be spend but this is not trivial.
What do you think about such a plan? Is it acceptable in you opinion?
P.S. This way there is no need for anyone to donate coins to me.

And you guys fell for this ?!
No we didn't, that's exactly why it was not done. The donation proposal was mine, and this was a response to it. Please do not "cherry pick" posts from the forum in order to prove a point that no one cares about.
Just to remind you, if he had said: "I have instamined too few coins, and want more to keep developing the coin because i am a greedy bbastard", we would have donated in the same way, because we wanted to reward him for developing the coin. You don't seem to get that. The community of early adopters WANTED to give him a reward for having created the coin, and we did so. So please, your point was made, you don't trust Mr. Spread, and that's fine. You don't like this coin and that's fine too. We got it. If you have NEW concerns, please post them, but stop repeating yourself.
I'm not dismissing you as a troll because about one in ten out of your posts brings real concerns and constructive criticisms, but those are the ones where you actually write what you think, not the ones where you place lots of quotes, and Complex question fallacies full of passive aggressiveness. So if you keep posting the good ones, the real criticism without malice or implied accusations, you are really welcome as a member of this community. But please, it's getting tiresome to keep separating the wheat from the chaff and if you keep acting that way you'll fatally be ignored in the end.
That's a horrible signal-to-noise ratio. Hit my "ignore the troll" threshold a long time ago.
I'm sure we've all had the experience of standing at a set of traffic lights waiting to cross the road when some idiot in a hotted up hoon-mobile does a massive burn out, making all this noise and commotion as they tear off from the traffic lights with fumes and burning rubber left behind for us all to breath and be immersed in. In that person's mind they're thinking: "Man, I really showed those people standing there and in the other cars what a hot and super happening dude I am who has the wheels to match; yeah baby, I rock!" But in reality everyone's thinking: "What a fuckwit! Man-oh-man, what sort of bizarre growing-up dysfunction was that guy exposed to that he thinks what he's just done is even on the 'cool' scale at all, let alone a fair way up it! What a complete jerk!"
As so it goes for Hippie Tech. This is how these people function. They're in this bizarre parallel world where they actually think that the stuff they do is "pretty damned good" and that people will think "yeah he really showed em!" But in reality, everyone just thinks they're a total prick.
And that pretty much sums you up Hippie. You're a dick mate. You come in here and throw all this shit around and actually believe you're doing something half decent. But, you're not. You're just making a total fool of yourself by picking out selective texts and attempting to discredit through imbalanced postings that are neither accurate nor reasonable. Your obvious agenda is to malign and rubbish Spread. But in doing so you're a most pathetic waste-of-space because it's so childish and so lame.
Give it away. Go back to things that are of worth and of use to you, because Spread clearly isn't. Go and do stuff that helps, not hinders. Reach deep within to find empathy (we all have it) and use that empathy to direct your actions and your objectives. You'll feel all the better to wake up each day knowing you're off to do useful stuff that will bring respect rather than just trying to bring other people down.
Go away and leave the people here alone. If you think it's all folly, fair enough, you've said your piece, now leave (and don't come back unless you're prepared to add value, not just put shit on everything and everyone).
