Still away on long vacation. It's nice to see there is stilll life in karma. Had a few problem updating my client a few days ago, but that was resolved with a few addnodes kindly suggested by bitwho.

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Enjoy the pics, I will probably upload a few more but this is all I have time for right now. Edit: almost forgot to say where they are from... They are from Angkor Wat in Cambodia.





Cheers

No block source available, why does my client not pick up other nodes?

You are on your own if you use my services. I don't maintain them anymore, I don't think the nodes are synced up. YMMV.

the p2pool thanks whoever decided to join in, there are now three miners there. 2x ~12MH/s and one 1.5MH/s. Karma good.

people need to help out mining on the p2pool, that lonely ranger could use some help.

Right back at you. Karma is strong with us <3

I am still in the planning phase of the trip, I will be travelling start december. First Brazil in december, then India in January, Nepal in february, Cambodia in March, USA in april. Back to Denmark late May.

I will make sure to update this thread with pictures.

Yes, I am having lots of fun planning, making plane reservations and getting visas for all countries. I can't wait for the journey.

Karma is doing good. Stay calm people, everything will work out. It always works out, trust me.

Yes, that works for me.

Wow, that first paragraph was your excuse for saying stupid shit about my family, because you wanted to sound smart? My mother has been dead for 25 years so let's try again. Your excuse was to attack me and call me bipolar? I think you need to step back take a deep breath and stop whatever you think you are doing right, because you are not.

The most spectacular thing you say is that the only thing you try to bring to the table is "unbiased outside perspective".

BOOT UP YOUR SERVICES AND please keep your personal criticism of other people people out of this thread.. Also stop insinuating you are going to steal KARM.

I am not sure an endorsement by me carries any weight but I also like the swiss. We communicated a little bit about mining while we were still scrypt-based. I also think they can carry the coin a long way.

I am very hesitant with the duke because his demeanor is just shitty.

And I am NOT saying my demeanor is better but he says he will steal the coin if he does not get it freely.

I'd go with the swiss... I'll get back when I have tried porting some of the oensource merchant APIs that people here linked to, thanks people. They look like better alternatives than "straight"-merchant API which is very new.

And JUST UNDERLINING IT AGAIN:

We can all create karma-related services. The swiss, TheLittleDuke, me, anyone else. Because I dislike thelittleduke does not mean that he cannot create karma-stuff. He is more than welcome to create karma-services, APIs, infrastructure. So no one is out even if he wants to make it sound like if he does not get the karma name that karma will die and the only way he can "do" stuff is by getting the name....And if he does not he will simply create Karma2. Ridicilous.

Put up some services and let the community decide if they like your services and trust you.

Seriously, could you be an adult? My mother has been dead for well over 25 years. How inappropriate to talk about people's families.

The way you conduct yourself does not strike me as someone with 20+ years of business experience. Talking about people's family, seriously? And then you have the nerve to talk about "the platinum rule".

If you're this way you won't mind me cracking jokes about your kids or your siblings'/whoever in your family, right? Since you already brought up family you are ok with that right? ..Or are we only doing mom-jokes?

Anyway...

You are trying to take over the name of the coin that is all you want and you come off very aggressive. Ego ego ego. I don't think you realise what karma is...

Let's just pick ONE post and try to highlight some of the weird stuff you are saying thelittleduke...

Again no need to create a new coin. You can use the current "infrastructure" to build on. Nothing bad will happen, the sky will not fall but you will gain the trust of the community members. Why do you seem hellbent on controlling this coin before you even launch a single service for it?

Please launch a karma-related site before you start stealing the infrastructure (and yes stealing someone's html and posting it as your own is just passive aggressive behaviour that hints about your motives and how you conduct business,)

Yes from the "Gee" and other spiteful comments-duek comes this. Let me tell you what I told others. If you are the perpetrator of bad behavoir you are really not the one to tell others to stop this behaviour. It's psychology 101.

.... Did you really fuck off all the way back to here so soon?

I saw a new opensource merchant API project for bitcoin released a few days ago but it is not really forkable right now because it relies on external block explorers not a local wallet. I would have forked it otherwise.

Does anyone here know about an opensource merchant APIs for bitcoin or similar coin. I'll port and host it if someone points me in the right direction.

Gee I wonder how this started.

I am sure most people here can see who is aggressive.

The "nonsense" you are putting up with is people telling you "no you can't have ownership of karma" and "no we don't want to listen to your threats about forking everything and moving along without us"... So please... just create your services and let's see what happens. Can you walk the walk or do you just talk.

The only people any karma-stakeholder should take seriously are people who are running services for karma. Anyone can _SAY_ that they want to do this and that for the coin but if they don't why the fuck would you trust them?! Anyway... I am out for today.

No need to gee me. You have no idea how much destructive power I have and I am getting quite bored with you. I'd just like to go travel without shooting a lot of negative energy out in the universe. So ok... anyway... I am trying to help..... Back on track.

Good now that you found the domain, whois the domain and you will know who to contact, this guy is the only one who has a service that is REALLY needed with karmacoin. Everything else is just icing on the caek.

for everyone this guy is

And his service is not really NEEDED either. Clients will just have to addnode a node if the seednode goes down. We did that for a long time after Karmacoingood (the original developer) closed down his seednode and until we got this seednode added to the source code. I am not sure what the exact agreement is with alltheco.in about the seednode, if they expect payment or something or if this is a free service that will run indefinitely.

I really don't understand why you need to *own* karmacoin to create services for it. Truly I don't. Cryptocurrencies are P2P in nature. They are not centralised. STOP TRYING TO CENTRALISE KARMA FFS. If the recent shitstorm has shown anything it's that centralised leadership is bad. Kosmost did his divide and conquer and isolated willing victims and killed the coin.

So no, everything should be spread around. I am so tired of listening to all this "wah wah we want to control karma", "NO _WE_ WANT TO CONTROL KARMA" back and forth.

Everyone can have karma

So exactly why are you holding back? Launch the API, launch the services you want.

First of all build some services, run them and then maybe start talking about "building wallets". You don't just build a wallet and fork the network.

None of what you want to do needs new wallets.

There is no need for a power-grab, all that is needed is that the seed-node runs on the bootstrap domain/ip-address from the source-code.

Paste the domainname/ip address here so I know you are sincere. If you can't find it you don't need to talk about building wallets.

The __ONLY__ thing that karma needs is the hostname that has been put into the source-code that points to either a wallet or a seednode. Whoever controls that controls karma.

EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE BY ANYONE!!!! IF YOU HAVE SOME TECH/SERVICE JUST RUN IT!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION!!!!

*GASP* THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE MERCHANT API IMPLEMENTATION *GASP*

GO GO GO

Kosmost has a real name and it's known to some people (I forgot it) but I don't think anyone here is entitled to it because while he is a jerk he is not a criminal (atleast not where I live), and so no need for it really unless for intimidation or similar stuff which is not how karma-people should operate.

Kosmost: i'd still like to know about the $500/month cost for Lill.com

Kosmost, please break down how LILL.com was costing $500 a month.

Thank you people.
