ScamCoin is open-source? Well, that put's a whole new spin on things. Let's see what we've got here...
Does MicroCash work the same way? 
Code: (mining.cpp)
if(g_bTrustedMiningOnly && (pBlock->nBlockNum%2)==1 )
{
Sleep(100);
continue;
}
Huh. I've always wondered how trusted mining works. Now I know! {
Sleep(100);
continue;
}
Does MicroCash work the same way? That's so trust nodes will only bother attempting to create trust blocks which are even, the odd blocks are normal blocks. Both trust nodes/blocks and trust accounts have been removed from MicroCash due to criticism.
@Coinhunter (or whoever is playing the part)
Over on your SolidcoinTalk info I saw you posted the below as one of the "New Features" in MicroCash.
"Denial of Service code added, can now ban nodes that flood the network"
Which means you have the ability to ban specific nodes, period. The reason doesn't matter, you have that ability and your unstable history more than proves that one of the fastest ways to get banned is simply to disagree with you.
It also means this built in DDOS protection can be exploited to create all sorts of havoc. I wonder how bloated the "Ban DB" will be with maybe 100,000 banned nodes?? It only makes sense you have a central control server somewhere maintaining a database.
Peer <---> Central Control <----> Peer
Same structure as Solidcoin 2.0 except this time you're admitting it up front.
~BCX~
I think it auto bans so if it gets like a hundred thousand or so requests in 10 seconds, then it automagically bans.
More like...
Peer Control <---> Peer Control <---> Peer Control
LOL
How can we understand this?
1. In order to prevent a 51% attack, the other 51% need to agree on a ban. Unlikely if you can count.
2. Or can bans be set by minorities or single nodes? If so, even small attackers can abuse the power to ban.
3. Or, most likely, the power to ban is centralized, and its owner will dissolve this whole project soon again for yet another iteration at getting at your money.
As in SC2 the threat of a 51% attack is replaced by a much more likely and dangerous attack vector, coming from its inventor. The power to shutdown something is akin to total control, as SC2 shows pretty well. The tyrant nodes proved to be the big dangers some assumed them to be. Noone is able to continue SC2 without them. SC owners are forced out of their coins and into a totally new coin&tax scheme whether they want it or not.
