Did we just find an enforcer node? Grin

P.S. Solidcoin does serve a purpose. It is like flypaper to those who are terminally gullible. So that when all their money is gone, the story won't read "Someone got all their bitcoins stolen by scammers." So, it doesn't really matter who runs it. We just have to make the bar high enough so that only those who cannot be salvaged partake in the kool-aid.

It's funny how idiots like you have been saying this for what, 7 months now, "it's a scam run for the hills". You think if you say it every week it's going to be true one week? SolidCoin is the second biggest p2p currency, is the 3rd longest running (behind NMC and BTC) and is continuing to grow in price, new features and supporters.

SolidCoin has proved it's less of a scam or even a "pump and dump" than anything which is younger than it or that has already died. Yet we don't see you jumping around the place with your rabid fingers proclaiming litecoin is a scam. You are a troll sir, get a life.

I guess you don't count part where you had to shut down the Solidcoin network and rebuild the protocol because of deep seated flaws. Remember Solidcoin 1.0? What happened to 1.0? It got rolled up.

I guess you don't count shutting down the mined block rewards in Solidcoin 2.0 to prevent others from getting a tyrant node. Didn't you want to test your method for the natural instantiation of tyrant nodes? I guess not, because that would mean someone else could control your little pet project.

Solidcoin has few miners, even less trade volume. Even so, 12 people can keep a cryptocurrency alive for a very long time. It just won't be a very popular one.

As for Litecoin:
How many premined coins did Litecoin give to it's developers? 150 premined coins.
Did they release their source from the start? Yes.
Did they explain clearly what their intentions were? Yes.
Did they steal others work and claim it as their own? No.
Doesn't sound like a scam, it sounds like an attempt at a cryptocurrency. Time will tell if it becomes popular or not. But its authors let their work speak for them. They don't make wild claims with no evidence to back them. That is why I don't take issue with them.

You on the other hand can't go a page these days without telling some lie. First you are Realsolid, then you are not, now you are again, then you aren't again. It is a bad idea to put trust in someone who has multiple personalities combined with pathological lying, especially in a security context.
