Yes it is unfortunate that bitcointalk censors idiots who attempt blackmail and extortion

Primer wins, people are listening to his nonsense.  Clever trick by someone with more energy for propaganda than I have will to refute.  I've reported his blackmail and extortion attempts to the moderators, either they are going to block him and remove his posts or they arent and he can spend the rest of his days trying to get someone to listen to him.

I sure do hope the mods can verify it all.  The posts, the pms, everything.  The PMs are sitting in my box here, primer cant refute he tried to extort me.

My PM history with Primer.  Interesting he calls me a scammer.

Those who continue this discussion feed into primer's need for chaos.

You are right, I am a big scammer.  He who yells the loudest in the publics eye is right.  You have served your purpose of full chaos, and make a convincing case, so now I will continue my work, and you can continue your chaos.  I am no longer commenting in regards to this.

I cannot compete with this.  Anyone can modify a post they previously posted, as I can modify this post later to include a quote from a future post.  Your lust for chaos is evident and obvious.  I have no shill accounts, and it would do no good.  There is no marketing in place as of yet by shill accounts or otherwise.  Please nobody listen to this chaos lover.

There is a good reason there is a distribution period for any coin, which included bitcoin itself  -- it is to distribute coin to parties interested.  During the initial distribution it is unreasonable to expect valuations or popularity of a coin which has been around for years, or in some cases which has been heavily marketed months in advance of launch.  Nobody can expect from three weeks since the launch and beginning mining for a coin to be valued at millions of dollars, regardless of the innovation (which as of yet does not merit such a high valuation)  I implore all miners, and shareholders to relax and stop pushing for an instant high valuation of a coin which is not feasible.  Development is continuing on Shiny, and will continue.  There are currently two core developers working on developing the core protocol (myself and laxori666 who has volunteered his help).  From the network hash rate it is evident that there is still confidence remaining.  Please stop this endless banter of coin valuations.  It neither attracts people to the coin, nor does it bring anything of substance to the conversation, nor does it add any value in any way conceivable.  In the coming weeks and months several core changes will be introduced, none of them copy/paste of code already in existing coins, but all being introduced to market first on Shinycoin.

I hope when the pool issue is resolved you will change your mind.  This should have been taken care of weeks ago, I made a mistake to wait until now.

There is already a bounty to build a good website, is that something you can do?

It is not enough to just provide the ramhog modules, which I will do.  The data structures are also slightly different.  I will make all changes needed for the pool to work and those changes will be open sourced.

My pool will be open source, anyone can compile and run it.

I'm working on a mining pool as this has been the source of many requests and frustrations.  The pool will charge a 1% fee just simply to support server costs.  The pool should be up in several days.  I'm sorry I didn't take this on earlier.

To Shinycoin community:

There is great interest in Shiny, the high hash rate on the network suggests as much.  I would like to ask for volunteers from the community to assist with several things in development and popularity of the coin.

Since there was no premine I ask for volunteers to both help with the work and to donate SHC.

Here is the list of things that needs work, I may have missed something PM me and I'll add it, and soon will put this on the OP

Wallet Internationalization - Bitcoin QT already has the ability, but as I've changed some things not everything is internationalized.  Someone needs to go through it and make it fully internationalized.  There is a web service that can make it easy, transifex.com

Tip Bot - This is fairly straightforward, just a website that a user can make an account, and email SHC to anyone with an email address, who then makes a wallet to access those SHC

Open Source P2Pool - There should be an open source P2Pool.  Sandor has his mining pool up and I've pointed my hash there, but its always best to have multiple pools to choose from.

Improved Block Explorer - laxori666 got one up very quickly and it works as it should with no problems and it is much appreciated.  It is ashame that it appears he's received no donations for his work in either SHC or BTC, so I've donated 1000 SHC, and encourage everyone to donate what they can.  The site should also have charts, stats, and a more interesting design.  Anyone who can work on this please PM me or post here

ShinyCoin website - http://zetacoin.cc/ is a great example.  Nothing about Zetacoin, but their site is simple, has enough info, downloads etc.

Protocol level changes - I'm working on some features which I've already started in the code which include user created currencies.  Anyone who has any ability to make protocol changes, I can use some help in this area.  If you have the experience/expertise PM me

For each of these completed tasks I will send 1000 SHC and I hope the rest of the Shiny community will step up and donate what they can to incentivize and reward people helping with the coin.  PM me or post here with your pledges.

I will be giving regular updates on how things are going from now on, and have more time to work on the code.

Good!  Was that the windows or you compiled yourself?

The network was settling down, so it took longer than it should.  Try it again, it sync 250 blocks per second now.

Also please update any nodes you have.

Good!


It can't sync yet, I haven't put the hash-signing node on the network yet, I will when it has caught up probably in 2-3 hours.  The warning, as it says, "Wait for block chain to download".  Will you be here in a few hours to test when signed hashes are in the network?

Also if anyone has any nodes which accept connections, please update them now so they propagate the signed hashes once the hash-signing node is up.

EDIT: Again if you have the RAM, your config should look like this (once you are synced):
This way your node verifies the proof-of-work hashes itself.  But still it will relay the signed hashes so that nodes without the RAM can still be in the network.

My transition node has signed the hashes up to block 360 900.  This will be the last time in the history of Shiny that a sync takes this long.

A useful post?  I am surprised.  Thanks, that wasn't an issue because of these changes but good to know for the future.

Ok, I just updated the github code.  I will be spending some time transitioning my nodes to make sure they signing node isn't overloaded, as it has a few thousand blocks to catch up with.  Feel free to update your nodes in the meantime, and when the signing node is ready it will spread the signed hashes throughout the network.  Then anybody should be able to run a wallet with minimal RAM requirements.  Let me know if there are any bugs or issues.

That's how I had it initially.  However, if I do that then syncing will still be slow for someone who is checking.  I am leaning towards having the default be true.  Then a miner has two choices after adding "-gen=1": either add "-ramhogthreads=n" or add both "-ramhogthreads=n" and "-usesignedhashes=0".  The former, they will sync quickly and mine, the latter, they will sync slowly and mine.  Or they can leave it on for the initial sync, then change the setting again.  A miner will have to be comfortable with changing config files anway.  Any thoughts?
