@dev, why did you fork communitycoin (which forked novacoin) and leave so much specific code in it?
nobody who knows what he is doing would start a coin which is a descendant of novacoin.
why using scrypt as the internal block hashing algo?
scrypt is a PITA and so slow. when you reach block 100000 it'll take ages to open up the wallet.
Look, you saying all this in the forum just to try to break BCF's rise. I have moved the date of the white paper back to 1/30/2014. You can read it then and answer your own questions. An email or PM might of got you a lot further as long as you were respectful instead of accusatory.
Satoshi even said that at some point adding a new hashing algorithm might be necessary at some point. None of us here are weighed down to anything. This is BitCoinFast which in my opinion has the potential to go all the way. When a coin goes all the way or when it goes nowhere you need to realize that there are still options. Its choosing the correct option that is important.
So either put on your googles, helmet and in your case safety belt, and either join us for this historic ride, or turn your trollmobile around and get the F_ck out of here!
hey, hey, calm down, mate.
actually I'm here to help and point out weaknesses of your code. YOU should be respectful instead of accusatory. but admittedly my words were a bit harsh.
so, once again: why did you choose communitycoin? I don't get it!
you could still mine scrypt but internally use sha256 for block storage. like litecoin, dogecoin and a ton of others.
this coin is still very young and it's still pretty easy to eradicate such design flaws.
and hey: get rid of this ->
https://github.com/BitCoinFastTeam/bitcoinfast/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L307 to L322 it doesn't make sense at all.
come on, do you want the cummunitycoin devs send the sync-checkpoints for you, or what?
https://github.com/BitCoinFastTeam/bitcoinfast/blob/master/src/checkpoints.cpp#L366you didn't even manage to replace the alert keys, OMG:
https://github.com/BitCoinFastTeam/bitcoinfast/blob/master/src/alert.cpp#L19are you serious with this coin or are you playing the same old boring pump and dump scam game, we have seen all over here. i can stand it any more!
If you came back in a year your supposed issues which I can not at this time confirm or deny are non issues now and most likely ever. Next time you want to talk about the code with me do not grand stand it just send me a Private Message or email. However I am not going to get into any specifics regarding future development or forks since as I said the White Paper will be out by 1/30/2015 (My apologies for giving you the incorrect year last time)
Thats about all I have to say other than your a tricky ass S.O.B, however I am really glad you came back man sometimes I get a little heated plus its a must that I maintain control of this project. Plus its not like we are on a field somewhere or in an ally with bats, it takes a lot of talent to lead a group virtually like this. Just when I think I have it down my clock gets cleaned so I cant call it nor frankly can anyone in my opinion. I find to be a strong leader its best just to be myself as much as possible and even being yourself has consequences.
We will talk soon, plus I might possibly need your assistance as an anonymous reviewer of the White Paper before its released at the end of next month. We will see.
