Re: [ANN] Boomcoin|An scalable anonymous currency system based on Proof of Capacity
why trust rico666? some even say he killed burst. PoC-Consortium cheated the community. Now they want to charge miners a high fee when using helix. so much for the topic "professional approach"
This thread is about Boomcoin and not about some whackos' perception of reality.
"Some even say I eat babies." So what?
What I wrote about obligations that the GPLv3 license brings, you can read it up yourself if you "don't trust me" https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.en.html
Sheesh. I will even paste out the relevant passage for the tl;dr Dyslexion
guys out there:Quote
Protecting Your Right to Tinker
Tivoization is a dangerous attempt to curtail users' freedom: the right to modify your software will become meaningless if none of your computers let you do it. GPLv3 stops tivoization by requiring the distributor to provide you with whatever information or data is necessary to install modified software on the device. This may be as simple as a set of instructions, or it may include special data such as cryptographic keys or information about how to bypass an integrity check in the hardware. It will depend on how the hardware was designedbut no matter what information you need, you must be able to get it.

If I insisted on obtaining the source for Boomcoin now (because I wanted to tinker with it, or even make another clone) and the Boomcoin author(s) would not comply, I could take this to the FSF.

As per your vomitory about Helix license: Yeah - duh! It's commercial software. We're not charging "high fee", we simply sell licenses for that software. It's not mandatory dummy, it's simply an investment for PoC miners - just cheaper than buying HDDs.
"Eulenstein", I do know that it doesn't matter what I write here, you made it perfectly clear in your little text that you are not to be rationalized with.
