Feel free to talk any way you like in this thread here.
Think of it as a "main thread" similar to the one on BCT.
Any news/updates that I post in the main thread on BCT, I will also post in that main thread here.
When a discussion needs to be discussed in more detail we can create a thread in one of the subforums.
Alright then. :)
Minerpage you out there??
Great idea, looking forward to many updates, even minimal progression is welcome... there is a lot of support here for Georgem's development effort, let's build on it and disrupt the marketplace!Feel free to talk any way you like in this thread here.First! Hell yea. Thanks Georgem!

Alright then. :)
Also @georgem I know a Dev at EmpoEX exchange. He'd probably add SPR if I asked him to. Do you think any of the trade volume would go there if they added it?
Minerpage you out there??
Greetings... this is a much better place to live than the BCT troll jungle... let's rebuild our community here with only real people, ready to move mountains (and Service Nodes) ;)
Stay tuned guys. Large update coming soon. :)
So i completely discarded and uninstalled everything from my cpu including my GPU drivers. I am running an AMD Radeon 6970. Where would you start with the setup process? Is there a certain driver or catalyst version I should install? What is the purpose for installing the AMD SDK?

I can't help much with this. But I would crosspost in bitcointalk if I were you - there seem to be a larger number of miners there who may be able to help. Posting in both won't hurt.
Stay tuned guys. Large update coming soon. :)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Looking forward to it!

rhino, did you just make another donation? :o
I only quickly read through the main thread...
Thank you very much! :)
I'll soon drown the main thread in an avalanche of posts. ;)
So I am now officially mining. I loaded the 14.9 version of the AMD catalyst and re-setup my mining .bat and .conf files and bam it took off. So is 1.05 MH/s decent? This is my first time mining anything.
Cool, keep it running all the time... sometimes you'll get a few blocks, sometimes it will take a while but nethash goes up and down so stay connected and you'll get SPR ;DSo I am now officially mining.

cool project ;)
It appears - BTC Talk is having some DDoS issues! again.
Hey everybody, just dropping by to say hi and that everything goes well. Hope everybody is having a good time?
For all you guys who donated to me, I am preparing preview versions (closed source) that I will send to you, so you can have a first hand impression about certain wallet functionalities and give me your feedback.
I will contact each of you about this very soon.
Lots of interesting stuff happening. 8)
Just hang in there a little longer, I wish I had 4 hands and 2 brains, lol :)

Just dropping some small knowledge, ...
The Spreadwallet will come with 2FA, but it will only support hardware 2FA solutions:
(http://i.imgur.com/yhdPI89.jpg)
So this means, either a TREZOR, or any encryptable USB drive, like the 2 examples that you see in the pic (each costing around 25$).
No, I don't plan on supporting any third party centralized 2FA solution (like google, etc)... those don't have any place in a decentralized wallet.
Stay tuned for more news...
I'm really glad you are empowering the community to keep their coins and investment secure. Thanks for looking out for us! :D

In the future, when running service nodes, how are private keys protected? Are collateral amounts safe from attack? Or at least highly unlikely to be hacked into?
I'm unfamiliar with how DASH has their collateral amounts stored. I would think if the keys have to be stored on the VPS, they would likely be less safe. In that instance is there any sort of additional protection measures that can be taken? Are service providers or customers liable for hacks?

Private keys are only ever used to sign data (create signatures), or to create public keys.
Those signatures (in combination with public keys) are then used to authenticate stuff.
It should never be necessary to keep a privatekey on a server, that would be a horribly bad security design.
I'm not 100% familiar with DASH either, but I will take a closer look at it some time in the future as part of the altcoin taxonomy project.
Greetings everybody following you here as well as in btctalk. im interested in this masternode project and i have started to bring some hashrate to the network. so found found several blocks (around 200 NOM NOM NOM) few min ago i had the great idea to encrypt my wallet... i cant mine anymore.. i unlocked it with command walletpassphrase for 1000 days but is there a way to unlockit removing the crypting ? thx for the answer !
The bandwidth traffic should directly relate to the amount of simultaneous connections your node has.
People who run a node on a server with >100 connections will use a lot of bandwidth.
I run my bitcoin node on a raspberry pi, ...
I do have a small video ready (without commentary), demonstrating one aspect of the upcoming spreadwallet.
What happens in the video:
The spreadwallet will connect with 5 altcoins simultaneously (SPR, BTC, LTC, PPC and EMC) through "SPV connections".
(TCPSockets that connect with full nodes of these coins and ask for headers through the getheaders message)
As the blocks are downloaded and become available within the wallet I visualize them in real time.
Enjoy!

Will have more updates ready soon.
It's pretty cool that we will be able to sync multiple chains at once! Might cause a bit of a strain on the CPU though, no?

}There are hardly ever many sell walls up since miners usually just dump on the market, so even tiny amounts of BTC push the price way up. Fun to watch ;D
"There are hardly ever many sell walls up since miners usually just dump on the market, so even tiny amounts of BTC push the price way up. Fun to watch"
SPR community used to be about HODL and work on increase value.
Not sure who the dumpers are but I've been trying to help the price go up and provide some volume in these past 2 days but don't see much support.
Guess for every action there's someone who feels there needs to be an opposite reaction. Whomever countered my efforts on Bittrex: go spend the money and gloat about your "windfall". I'll try again later when it's a little more mature.
Guess we need some more convincing to explain the value to some "investors" 8)

BTW will the bittrex delisting warning disappear by itself once we are out of the swamp?
How much volume are we missing exactly?
7 BTC volume required for 14 days....
We are probably close. I'd guess 6 BTC or something.
No word from them. Just the ticket receipt confirmation.
Hm... could it be that they have a strict policy regarding the identity of a developer (for good reasons),
and that they automatically assume that I am a fraud, since it was orginally someone else (mr. spread) who they still have in their system as "the" spreadcoin dev?
meh, don't think that this is plausible. I also used a spreadcoin.info email-address to contact them.
Anyway, I'm pumped now. It's on!
This party will not be over today! 8)
ok thanks.
Hm, mr. spread was pretty cryptic and anonymous, always using VPN etc...
I doubt he would have participated in such a verification process as described in the article you linked.
It sounds like KYC for devs, lol. :o
Well, let's see where this goes.
I will have to deal with these things sooner or later.
From BCT rhinomonkey Today at 12:54:41 PM "Is syscoin in direct competition with SPR in terms of project goals"
I happen to follow SYS, their model is different than SPR but they did keep up with the BTC wallet versions.
In a nutshell: Their concept is innovative in a sense that they link the blockchain to an HTML shopping experience (online blockchain store) using multiple coins for payment (in the upcoming new wallet they announced sometime in Q1 2017). They include Aliasing, Messaging, Escrow, Certification and some more.
They're the coin that has Microsoft Azure acceptance although I haven't seen developments in that direction yet.
Where is bittrex located again?
weird, bittrex still keeps us guessing. lol
:)
December 9th is now over where I live... how about you? Still a few hours to go?
Where is bittrex located again?
Looks like we are in the clear on Bittrex! No more threatening banner! :o
Looks like we are in the clear on Bittrex! No more threatening banner! :o
Indeed, all is good for now.
It shouldn't be that hard to create 7 BTC volume spread over 14 days.
I will keep the updates regular, patrons will add to it, and the rest of the community will support us too!
It will work!
8)
New video coming up soon!Alright, looking forward to it man.

I'm interested in contributing feedback to his whitepaper.

Does he not have an account here yet?
Hey I finally received a message from Bittrex,
a guy named Bill wished me good luck with the project and everything,
and that we should watch our volume and not let it slip behind,
as they're planning to remove markets that are constantly getting the low volume warning.
Well then... it's good that we are NOT one of those markets.
We have been sailing without the warning for many months now,
and we have been getting such a warning maybe once a year.
But this will stop now.
New video coming up soon!
Hi all guys ;)

Presents? Next Week?
From: pokeytex
Hello Georgem - I just wanted to take a moment to say hi and possibly give my advice to you. Take it or leave it as you may. I like you and I think you are doing and going to do great work on SPR! Not because I am invested but because I see the potential in the designs and ideas you put out. I am with you the whole way and hope that you are able to make it all work out. With that said, I would like to advise you on not giving any timelines. People hold your word as gospel and frankly I have fallen into the category once in a while especially with the Christmas "present" comment a couple weeks ago. My advice is to not disclose any time frame and post maybe what you are working on. Under promise and over deliver. I know you have a day job and I am sure your personal life is as hectic as mine with family and all but the natives are getting restless and the negativity on the forum is starting to grow like a cancer. If you have anything to satiate the appetites temporarily please post it. From there - no more deadlines! :o - Be well - Pokeytex
We have a tiny group of people who own an insane amount of SPR (probably 5 Million in the hands of no more than 10 people),
and they can't wait to do "something" with it, they don't give a fuck about decentralization etc.
They want that quick masternode-wealth-redistribution-scam, do some scammy PR, move the price 20x-30x, dump their coins and be done with it.
Pokeytex wrote an interesting PM, and I'm going to address it publicly here:QuoteFrom: pokeytex

Thanks for your kind words.
Yes, you are right. 8)
But even if I didn't give a deadline, someone is always going to complain about something.
IMHO my wrong deadline estimations are the least of SPR's problems (and they will go away over time).
It's this whole "faux urgency" as someone else stated, that goes on in certain parts of the community.
That's why a certain brand of people seems a little bit restless right now!
My wrong deadlines don't correlate with the "faux urgency" in their head, and that is what causes them "cognitive dissonance" and ultimately makes them snap!

I have more long term goals, believe me. 8)
It is true that I keep planning deadlines as if I was already working pretty much 100% on this project, when the reality during the last 12 months has been on average 0-10%.
I probably do this unconsciously (out of gleeful anticipation), but then my dayjob always catches up on me with a loud wake-up call.
In fact, that is the reason why I am working on this patronage scheme, so that there is a possibility of gradually increasing the amount of time I can invest every month.
But your advice is good, and I will take it.
And BTW, I don't mind that some people are starting to act "cancerous" on BCT, they have always been doing that, and if anything I always welcome it when someone shows me their true colors.
It helps me adapt, adjust my wrong expectations and choose more fitting solutions to counteract this. (I am working on a pretty thorough solution here... 8))
Anyway, thanks for your patience,
all I can say is, I will be here, 2017, 2018, 2019... etc.
8)
Very interesting stuff coming,
and the first priority should be to have more regular updates, indeed.
P.S.: I hope you don't mind that I post your PM publicly, but in the interest of transparency from now on I will be posting publicly any PM I receive to address them accordingly.
It should help everybody (and especially newcomers) to figure out what is going on behind the scenes.
You won't believe the PMs I am getting, lmao.
Yours is one of the good ones. ;D
What a sad and confusing statement (if I read it the way it's written).
I disagree and honestly, most of those people have saved SPR from obscurity, kept it listed on at least one exchange. Some of us kept buying because nobody else did. And I doubt your statement about 10 people owning 5M SPR.
Most of those people have put a lot on the line *financially* (with their hard earned money) to keep SPR afloat and to dismiss that effort in a PnD accusation is beneath you.
I think I know most of the people you are dismissing in that post and the truth is the opposite: we all want this to succeed. We are eager for it to succeed, for no other reasons than to see it grow.
On the other hand, glad you confirmed you're only able to work between 0%-10%, something I felt but couldn't confirm. That is fine in itself, now we can all adjust expectations.
As soon as you have the donation system ready you shouldn't have to depend on a day job as much. I hope you change your mind about that statement and use your supporters to move SPR ahead.
The urgency is not as much to make money (some of it would float back to you and cancel the need of a day job) but some of us feel the urgency because it is a fast moving landscape and innovations happen at the speed of light. Some anxiety exists because by the time something is on the market, it is too late.
If you stand by those few lines you wrote, you might be projecting scam methods used in the alt market on your own coin.
Your last project update with the various coins in the same wallet really stoked me. I will continue to donate to you when I can afford to so it helps you with your efforts on development.
Lastly, don't get frustrated with the community. I know it is hard sometimes.
Seriously, I was just trying to explain why trolls and fudsters are having a tantrum right now. Nothing else.
and help me with the patronage
Your last project update with the various coins in the same wallet really stoked me. I will continue to donate to you when I can afford to so it helps you with your efforts on development.
Amen to that.
As I said, I want to create the wallet that I myself always wanted to have! 8)Lastly, don't get frustrated with the community. I know it is hard sometimes.
I'm not frustrated in the slightest.
You know, I am convinced on more than just one level that patronage is the right way to move forward.
1) Those who want to help me can now do so. (and I can properly reward them for doing so)
2) Those who don't want to support me can just sit on their pile of SPR and angrily wave their fist. 8)
That's how I see it.
Now let me finish the next update, so I can soon send you guys an actual preview version. Lots of initial work still needs to be done so that the program runs stable on different machines with different configurations.
Was the plan to get an account on https://www.patreon.com/ so we could contribute in many currencies?

Thanks.
I will define goals and rewards for patreon that will work a little bit different than the rewards I outlined for cryptocurrencies.
I will do some thinking.
But first the new video update, followed by a first preview version for you guys.
Then followed by the two announcements.
Sorry for the delays, but I will keep you updated.
@georgem - When you say you are going to work on a new miner for Spreadcoin - do you mean the algorithm will change or you will make the miner better than what is available now? I am curious because I use the custom one from SP however he hasn't updated it in quite a long time. Just curious is all. Thanks - pokeytex
... or you will make the miner better than what is available now?
2) capable to work with multiple different coins
Multiple "different" coins as in merge mining SpreadX11 coins?
Different coins as in how different? What will be different?
Love to hear 8)
Though this is still something a bit way off, I'm curious as to your position on building dapps. This is something I have become more interested in recently and would love to look into.

That is not way off at all, but rather spot on.
How to efficiently research decentralized/distributed apps is the third field of interest right after spreadwallet and spreadminer.
Creating P2P software is hard on many levels:
It's difficult to test, since you would need many nodes.
It's difficult to debug, since you would need to record all communication between nodes (and track the internal states of all nodes) to figure out where something went wrong.
I have done most of my P2P Experiments with just 5-6 computers and older laptops I have lying around.
This just doesn't cut it anymore, so I am working on a cheap but (much) more large-scale solution.
(http://i.imgur.com/HnbrIB5.jpg?1)
This is what my other announcement will be about.
8)
Can you guess what the solution will be about?
Lots and lots of raspberries or lots and lots of hamsters?

How to efficiently research decentralized/distributed apps is the third field of interest right after spreadwallet and spreadminer.
Creating P2P software is hard on many levels:
It's difficult to test, since you would need many nodes.
It's difficult to debug, since you would need to record all communication between nodes (and track the internal states of all nodes) to figure out where something went wrong.
I have done most of my P2P Experiments with just 5-6 computers and older laptops I have lying around.
This just doesn't cut it anymore, so I am working on a cheap but (much) more large-scale solution.

Can you guess what the solution will be about?
Lots and lots of raspberries or lots and lots of hamsters?
Hrmmm- methinks - "clusters"! ;D
I keep toying with the idea of building a (10) RPi 3 Cluster but don't know what the hell I will do with it when it is done! LOL - I am not a programmer. I see all of the tutorials online about building them and honestly the only thing I can think of is if there was a way to mine with it. Other than that I don't know. I just think to build it would be really cool! I am a geek for hardware!
It would be fantastic if I'm not the only one building and running such a cluster,
so I will keep you updated with any cluster-software I create so you can test it yourself.
use it with the spreadwallet
Yes, I'm gonna build a Raspberry Pi 3 Cluster to bring my overlay and P2P research to the next level.
I'll probably start with a 15-16 node Cluster, to make a few tests.
And then move to much higher numbers (64, then 100?). 8)

Well, one of the things you could always do with your RPi 3 Cluster is use it with the spreadwallet, and manage your 10 favorite coins with it. (1 full node per RPi 3). 8)
BTW, using RPi 3s for full nodes is just one of the tasks they could fullfill, but there are other ideas I have of how to put those "tiny 24/7 workers" to good use:
1) Exchange-Tick-Data Aggregator, so that you recreate a coinmarketcap-style site within the spreadwallet (and better yet: have access to historical tick-data if you let your worker run long enough)
2) Trading-Bot so you can be alerted or trade directly within the spreadwallet
3) Address-Observer, get alerted when there is movement in a coin address...
etc
Maybe you could explore a few ideas of your own? What jobs would you give your oompa loompas?
I'm currently not spending any time on this apect, but I'm just saying I design the spreadwallet's architecture as an open system, where other devs can add functionality in the form of plug-ins/dlls (each representing a worker-functionality and its overview screen)

Hang tight on the Rpi3's - I read that we can expect the Rpi4 end of February - of course just gossip - but where there's smoke there's fire!
http://www.itpro.co.uk/desktop-hardware/27763/raspberry-pi-4-what-to-expect
Atleast the switches, power supplies, cables (USB + Patch) and the whole casing you will not change very often.
What do you guys think?
I am looking for a way to sell all my SPR holdings,
and go full patron mode from now on.
This way I can become a "truly independent dev", which will be needed if we want to take the principles of decentralization serious, and I think it will also send a good signal!
I always wanted to be more like a Bitcoin dev (greg maxwell, etc..) when it comes to how my work is funded, instead of having it done like an Altcoin Dev (e.g. evan duffield who is simulatenously dev and the biggest currency holder).
I wanted to wait a few days with this, but some guy in the BCT thread is looking to buy lots of SPR and I thought this would be a good opportunity.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/spr/address.dws?ShutUpHxbuLdy22g9NE4afviUr2Cnqd68H.htm
131850 SPR.
I want to use this money to buy a few GPU models, hardware and lots of rapsberry pi's, which will be needed for the spreadwallet, spreadminer and my network-experiments.
Also, another reason why I am doing this is:
I can't claim to be working on a decentralized servicenode model (that doesn't favor big whales) while being a big investor myself.
It would be a conflict of interest.
A Masternode-Wealth-Redistribution-Scam similar to Dash (or mr.spread's implementation) will never happen with Spreadcoin, as I alluded here (http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=762.msg4157#msg4157).
I have no problem with rich people holding lots of SPR, but it would a "nightmare on centralization street" if those big whales controlled most of the servicenodes.
How does 4 BTC sound?
As an extra: you will become an insta-patron immediately forever, and I will send you any future preview version of all the tools I create (the first spreadwallet-previewversion to be released very soon).
This is an open offer to everyone.
What do you guys think? Good move? Bad move?
Why sell your SPR?
What motivation will you have to make SPR grow and prosper without having any SPR?
Also, if your goal is to decentralize why would you want to sell that much SPR to another individual like the person trying to buy 300k plus?
Clear, concise questions, I love it.Why sell your SPR?
To buy hardware, right now, so that I can use it, right now.
I calculated that I'm gonna need about 4000$, which based on this low SPR price, means that I have to get rid of all my current SPR holdings, and pay the rest with a little fiat out of my own pocket.What motivation will you have to make SPR grow and prosper without having any SPR?
Let me ask you back: if my efforts make the price of SPR rise, will you as a patron support me LESS or MORE? 8)Also, if your goal is to decentralize why would you want to sell that much SPR to another individual like the person trying to buy 300k plus?
I love rich people, I want to be a rich person myself.
Rich SPR holders can't create centralization with their money.
Much like large BTC holders can't really do anything except sell or hold their money.
BUT: It looks entirely different when we talk about a mechanism like that used in Dash/Darkcoin (or other masternode-schemes):
Suddenly, those who hold large amounts of the currency get to control AND CENTRALIZE actual full nodes.
And THAT ALONE is what I have a problem with, not rich people.
I don't care who owns SPR and how much.
I care about whether this money can be used to compromise decentralization.
Servicenodes will NOT work like masternodes at all.
....
I can answer in more detail, but I'd rather not write these unreadable large posts. Nobody will want to read them anyway.
I'm awaiting your feedback.
I want you to absolutely understand my motivation.
@Patrons and Supporters.
So, I got a few things off my chest today.
Please don't read too much into it, look at it as some sort of house cleaning.
Ok.
Now the next thing that I want to work on regarding spreadwallet,
is to not add any more features right now, but to keep the current state as it is,
and just debug it a little and finalize those things that are just half finished.
The goal is to send you guys a working version that you can run on your computers, stable and reliable.
They will not do much, but you can watch the videos to get an idea about what you will be able to do.
I will create versions for windows, mac and linux.
What systems do you guys have available?
Have a nice evening.
georgem
@georgem - I appreciate the answers and maybe I am reading into this too much - am I understanding correctly that the servicenode solution will not be based on how much SPR you hold but rather another mechanism? 8) - I might be trying to read between the lines too much. It is hard for me to wrap my head around but I believe you have more up your sleeve that you aren't disclosing yet! Interesting...
I pledge .05 BTC (sorry it is not more - I am a guppy in a sea of whales!) when I receive this wallet... Most appreciated. - pokeytex
Georgem, I want pictures of hamsters!
Not pictures of the Spread community. :P
While I work on the preview-version I promised,
it would be nice if someone could help me find a good-looking worldmap that we could use within the spreadwallet.
It should be free to use, creative commons.
And it should be based on SVG format,
possibly even have each country's border available as its own separate data point.
(http://i.imgur.com/OYk9TLQ.png)
Any ideas?
BTW, I will also be posting in the technical subforum of BCT from now on, instead of just in the spreadcoin-thread there.
So be sure to check out the threads in the technical subforum,
I will be discussing all kinds of things regarding protocols, wallets, etc..
and whatever problems I am currently trying to solve.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1763826.0
Should be helpful to find the right people that we can bring on board to create a good team.
Enjoy.
Congratulations on reaching your patreon goal!

@pokeytex, sounds like you had a nice weekend.
Please let me know if your early preview-version works.
I would love to see a screenshot.
BTW, linux and mac versions should be available coming this weekend (+/-)
Also: lots of work ahead, spreadwallet is maybe 5-10% finished right now. Please take that into consideration while testing the preview-wallets. Thanks.
please allow another 24 hours for the next updateLooking forward to it 8)
Georgem, any preview of your latest creation?

Hey pokey,
here are a few very rudimentary instructions of what you have to do.
(more detailled tutorial will come at a later time).
So, you already have Raspian Jessie installed. Good.
You have downloaded the spreadcoin daemon and decompressed it. Ok
Now navigate into the folder with the daemon, so that you are in the same folder.
BTW, I suggest you use a nice SSH client like for example Bitvise SSH Client (https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client?gclid=CjwKEAjwtbPGBRDhoLaqn6HknWsSJABR-o5spw3oOegh_PEFjTYhPxHpOx2Y_RbT4POe7FUVAxbZZRoCzSTw_wcB) (it gives you more possibilites than putty).
Once you are in the folder with the daemon, start it with this command:Code: [Select]./spreadcoind -daemon -server
It will tell you that you need to first create a conf file. (Us starting the daemon once like this has created the necessary .spreadcoin folder in your home directory)
You can either create the conf file on your computer and upload it via the SFTP system of the SSH client (put the conf file into the .spreadcoin folder),
or you can create it directly in the terminal like this:
navigate to your home/.spreadcoin folder like this:Code: [Select]cd ~/.spreadcoin
create the conf file like this:Code: [Select]cat > spreadcoin.conf <<EOFthen just continue typing in the next lines as they appear:Code: [Select]rpcuser=<your rpc username>
rpcpassword=<your rpc password>
daemon=1
server=1
EOF
You typing EOF will close and save the spreadcoin file.
You can add more settings in your conf file according to your needs.
Now go back to your spreadcoind daemon folder, and try theCode: [Select]./spreadcoind -daemon -server
again.
Now the daemon will start and sync, after a while you should be able to do access the daemon like that:Code: [Select]./spreadcoind getinfoorCode: [Select]./spreadcoind getpeerinfo
etc...
So business as usual.
During the sync process the daemon will use 100% of all 4 Raspberry Pi 3 cores, so you might want to monitor its temperature like this:Code: [Select]/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
etc...
There are more things we can do, like move the spreadcoind daemon to the bin folder so that it can be accessed from everywhere,
also if for whatever reason you don't seem to have permission to access the daemon file, you might need to change its file permissions, like this:Code: [Select]sudo chmod 777 spreadcoind
orCode: [Select]sudo chmod +x spreadcoind
I hope this can also somehow help you, pokey.
Please give me your feedback and tell me how far you get.
BTW, it may easily take a few hours to sync if you start from scratch, so what you might want to do is copy the full blockchain data into your .spreadcoin folder via the SSH client to shorten the time.
We will also have to talk about routers and opening ports etc to allow your raspberry pi to have more connections etc...
** KICK ASS TUTORIAL ** Thank you! I am in the process of downloading the blockchain now. I definitely had to mess with some permissions and have to use sudo in front of the commands but I am up and running.

Thanks for your feedback, keep me updated about how it goes.
What temperature are you getting?
And I hope that it uses all 4 cores 100% during the sync?
useCode: [Select]top

(press Q to get out of "top")

I have to ask, what are those things and how I can buy a few ones? :0
It is alternating between the cores. I am close to being finished with a fresh sync. It has been 20 hours and I am around 6.5 million coins. Not much more to go!
The temperature is a steady 49.4 degrees celsius.

Awesome.
Now, imagine that you will be able to automatically setup (no hassle with the terminal) and monitor your raspberry pi's from within the spreadwallet, ---> that's one of the goals of the spreadwallet.
Just plug in a fresh raspberry pi and let the spreadwallet handle the rest. 8)
So... as always ....
stay tuned! 8)

Hey pokey,
another question.
You said you installed Raspberry Jessie on your Pi.
What version did you use? A recent one?
Was SSH disabled by default? Or did you have to create an empty file named "ssh" and put it in the /boot folder, before you could remote access your rasp?
I am asking because since a few months ago, they have now disabled SSH by default, as they explain here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/a-security-update-for-raspbian-pixel/
I don't know which raspberry OS's are affected by this (not the version that I used), but it certainly is good practice to disable SSH by default so that people who want to use it have to specifically enable it first. Also important to change the "pi" user's password immediately after first login.
Anyway, just something to consider.
We certainly want SSH enabled since we want to operate Raspberry Pi's in headless mode, without monitor/keyboard.
LOL it is a little bit of a pain in the arse since now i have to take out the hdmi cable and connect it to a monitor for the first boot-up to enable ssh. But it isn't that much work! :P
The boot partition on a Pi should be accessible from any machine with an SD card reader, on Windows, Mac, or Linux. If you want to enable SSH, all you need to do is to put a file called ssh in the /boot/ directory. The contents of the file don�t matter: it can contain any text you like, or even nothing at all. When the Pi boots, it looks for this file; if it finds it, it enables SSH and then deletes the file. SSH can still be turned on or off from the Raspberry Pi Configuration application or raspi-config; this is simply an additional way to turn it on if you can�t easily run either of those applications.
Yeah but what are these cases? Looks cool :D
Yeah but what are these cases? Looks cool :D
Yes, those cases do look pretty awesome, lol.
pokeytex?
LOL it is a little bit of a pain in the arse since now i have to take out the hdmi cable and connect it to a monitor for the first boot-up to enable ssh. But it isn't that much work! :P
I hear that you don't need to do this anymore.
You can just place an empty file called "ssh" on your raspberry harddisk (just in the top most root folder) and SSH will be enabled.
See here again:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/a-security-update-for-raspbian-pixel/QuoteThe boot partition on a Pi should be accessible from any machine with an SD card reader, on Windows, Mac, or Linux. If you want to enable SSH, all you need to do is to put a file called ssh in the /boot/ directory. The contents of the file don�t matter: it can contain any text you like, or even nothing at all.

SSH can still be turned on or off from the Raspberry Pi Configuration application or raspi-config; this is simply an additional way to turn it on if you can�t easily run either of those applications.
So before you take out your SD-Card and insert it in your rasp pi, you would just create such a "ssh" named file on the SD-Card through your windows system (or whatever system you are using to burn the image on the SD-Card)
georgem the SpreadCoin Daemon is only available for RPi 3? There is no version for windows or other linux distros? I want to test the service nodes system ^^
georgem the SpreadCoin Daemon is only available for RPi 3? There is no version for windows or other linux distros? I want to test the service nodes system ^^
Look here:
http://spreadcoin.info/downloads.php
Here are all the downloads available if you want to run a node in another system.
Servicenodes are not available yet.
I believe I am running (2) nodes - one on my windows machine (wallet & daemon) and one on the Rpi3 - Is that possible on the same IP? Although I use a VPN on the Windows machine - so it is (2) separate IP's. LOL - I think I just answered my own question.
Another example:
I am GPU-mining on a machine in my workshop, so I want to be connected to as many other nodes as possible to reduce the risk of orphan blocks.
Now, if I don't forward port 41678 to this specific miner node computer, then that node maxes out at 8 connections,
but if I do open and forward the port I get much more connections.
Currently it has 45 connections.
Ok - I realize I had changed the port that my mining wallet is on. That shouldn't matter correct? Now should I change the port to the Rpi3 node in the .conf file and restart the daemon? Also, do I need to restart the wallet to have the connections increase or is it on the fly once the router is set up properly?
Pure insanity, eh?
Well, my GPUs and Raspberry-Pi-Cluster are now fully funded.
Thanks to the buyers for making this possible.
8)
Stay tuned!
Which GPU's did you settle on?
Which GPU's did you settle on?
Right now
2x GTX 1050 Ti (already installed)
and
1x GTX 1080 Ti (ordered, will receive next week)
But I will buy more a little later, when prices come down a little.
Sweet - I use all 1070's. Let me know how that 1080ti works. I am looking to purchase some more rigs. Might consider the 1080's.

And how much better does it get with sp_'s improved miner?
I will keep you updated about the 1080 Ti

That is a very interesting and far-reaching question.
It depends how you want your full node to appear to the outside world (so that other nodes can find it).
To first answer your question. YES, you can have as many nodes (of the same coin) as you like behind the same external IP, but NOT behind the same IP and Port!
Meaning, if you set your router to forward port 41678 to a specific computer in your local network, then that computer is the only node that will be accessible through this IP/Port combination.
Any other local nodes will have to use another port and will only be able to make outbound connections to the network, they will not easily accept inbound connections. (which is actually good from a security standpoint)
This is the whole secret behind why some full nodes max out at 8 connections,
but other nodes (on a server for example) can have 100 or more connections.
The latter is more visible to the outside world and is broadcasting in the IP/(official Port) combination for other nodes to use.
In that sense, this is all very interesting, because it ties a little to this general theme that we keep hearing about with bitcoin,
you know... that bitcoin has 5-6000 full nodes?
Yes, but those are all full nodes that run on the official port and are therefor easily accessible by other nodes and will readily accept both outbound and inbound connections.
But there are actually probably 20-30000 additional full bitcoin nodes that run in the same mode that your secondary rasp pi is running,
such "secondary full nodes" are able to connect to the network and share blockchain data, but they do not allow inbound connections just like that.
You can do the following experiment:
Set up your router to forward port 41678 to a certain node in your local network, and then observe what happens to the max connections with this node and the other "secondary" nodes (that don't use the official SPR port).
Fun stuff, I like your questions a lot pokey, you are thinking! 8)
BTW - I did this and now I enjoy 38 connections to my new Rpi3 node! I still can't get my wallet on another computer to show more then 8 connections. I do have it on a different port but I forwarded that port number and also opened it up in Windows Firewall for both private and public. Oh well. It still works nicely.
@Georgem - I just realized you have a slack channel. LOL - I am pretty sure I have donated over $100. Can I get an invite pretty please? ::)
... lots and lots of spacers and screws that I will use to mount the raspberry pi's on plexiglas plates.
(3x raspberry pi's per plate)
(http://i.imgur.com/pthrQwO.jpg?1)
...more packages with interesting stuff should arrive soon.
So think of it this way:
1) The cluster is my own local network where I develop and test the next version/iteration of spreadcoin/servicenodes.
2) Once I am confident that the next version behaves as expected I will release that version for the actual testnet (you guys!)
3) If this works out well too, we can switch the version to mainnet.
Voila.
LOL - Break out the beer - it's going to take a while to clone (48) sd cards - LOL

Although I haven't received all 48 raspberries yet (and all the stuff needed with it).
But I can now start building the case and work on the software. :-)
why do you assume it requires WAN?communicate with Peers with the outside world?
communicate with Peers with the outside world?
or keep it internal only?
It's basically sand-boxed, but gives me the possibility to see and record EVERYTHING that happens. 8)

(http://i.imgur.com/yNfRi4d.jpg)
The plan is only internal, that's why I need many nodes.
It's basically sand-boxed, but gives me the possibility to see and record EVERYTHING that happens. 8)
It is actually possible for such local nodes to all connect with the outside world, but they will all have the same external IP, and will have to use different ports.
But that's not what I am aiming at.
(Also, my internet router would probably have a hard time handling 48 nodes that all want to connect with the outside world at the same time.)
So yes, local network only.
"testnet in a box"
Will the plexiglas plates stand off from each other with the posts or is their slats that they will go into?
I was thinking - why not just using a large number of virtual machines?
I'm quite sure there is no need for so much ram.
The disk can handle many connections as it handles when downloading torrents etc...
The network is a bigger issue offcourse.
I forgot to mention also it would make sense only if You allready had the good and available PC or more of them.
I don't think you grasp the scope of the project, lol
Testing with 10 Raspberries.
Not yet in slate mode, ... but soon.

Sweet - I use all 1070's. Let me know how that 1080ti works. I am looking to purchase some more rigs. Might consider the 1080's.
MSI 1080 ti works so well, wow!

Is this in an open rig? How many degrees in the room? And What is the gpu frequency on the default settings?
I expected to see higher temperatures on 1080ti but it depends on many factors... One is room temp ;)
@georgem
Tnx for screenie ;)
I don't care about the room temp itself, just wanted the gpu ambient temp. for a comparision as I said... My gpu is also in an open rig and not in a gpu sandwich.
Short update: Here are a few new pics of the raspberry pi cluster.
More to come soon.

You're both working on similar things, ...
You're both working on similar things, ...
No, we are not.
BTW, the only other coin I would want to participate in is Bitcoin. ;)
The only exception to that are other SpreadX11 based coins, ... once they appear I will be willing to cooperate with them. 8)
Well I meant similar in that you're both focusing on networking.
The btctalk thread misses you ;)

Networking? :oThe btctalk thread misses you ;)
I'm on the bitcointalk forum everyday, just mostly spending time reading up on technical stuff.
I will address questions about spreadcoin, mining spreadcoin and the tools I'm working on,
but I am not interested in Helium (HLM) and other coins that are being constantly thrown around (as you just demonstrated).
Those have nothing to do with my work or spreadcoin.
BTW, if you want updates about what I am working on, just read my recent posts, for example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045373.msg19039841#msg19039841
In a general sense, yeah.
In a general sense, yeah.
Yes, lots of stuff needs to change.
I'm not saying that I'm happy with how things are right now.
There are too many loose ends everywhere, forum needs to be updated, website still references old stuff etc..
And as if that wasn't enough, we have an ongoing Altcoin-Bubble and ICO-Mania that distorts everything,
and god knows what maneuvers the HLM-people (who own an insane amount of SPR) will do to influence the price of Spreadcoin, lol.
It's gonna be a wild ride, ...
Everybody be careful.
Meanwhile I'm working on solutions.
More to come soon. :D
I'll still be here patiently waiting regardless of updates, so take your time and release when it's ready 8) ...
Hello all! I'm new to mining and want to join the mining SpreadCoin. Prompt, please, where can I get information on how to configure your miner and start mining SpreadCoin?
spreadminer -o http://127.0.0.1:41677 -u XXX -p YYYrpcuser=XXX
rpcpassword=YYY

How to fix it ?
I have 5 rigs in the same lan.
Can i point them to the same wallet (same ip) so that i have a kind of "mini solo pool"?

Did you set the rpc port in the spreadcoin.conf file?
rpcport=41677

Yes, you can point multiple computers/rigs to just one wallet in your LAN.

Yes, you can point multiple computers/rigs to just one wallet in your LAN.
Anyone have a link or instructions oh how to do this. I found one earlier but lost it ug.
Any one can help here:
1. I downloaded the wallet and run it and it has gone thru last 10 hrs sync up the network.
2. now I see the status is 0 hours behind
But the bar still shows message synchronising network......
and the wallet and also the network on top also show out of sync.
Any step I am missing?
FYI, I started using CPU to mine and it is producing some SPR as immature now, so the mining seems ok. Not sure what else is missing on the sync part.
I did not encrypt the wallet yet
2. now I see the status is 0 hours behind
But the bar still shows message synchronising network......
and the wallet and also the network on top also show out of sync.
Also, how long should it normally take to sync the blockchain?
what block height does your wallet show?
no block source availablewhat block height does your wallet show?
It shows 82122 block count but it is not going higher or synqing any further.
delete your blockchain data (except your wallet.data) and restart your wallet.
Any updates Georgem?
Hello all ! Im new to SPR aka SpreadCoin and Im having trouble with syncing my wallet... If anyone is nice enough to link a download link that would be great!
Thank you for ur time !

If you do not delete these two posts and issue a retraction message on both spreadcointalk and bitcointalk within 24 hours from the timestamp on this message I will take legal action against you.
Nothing stopping you posting a retraction or some evidence that I have traded any SPR in recent times...

Then why are you so active in the SPR thread? ???
I would have never bothered you if I didn't see you on each single page of the SPR thread.
STILL!
Because your attitude fascinates me and I want to see you deliver something.
Bitcoin Spread fork = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2671181.0
(facepalm)
Georgem, why don't you create a new coin? What not just abandon Spreadcoin and make another one?
Is it because what you're making isn't directly affected by Spreadcoin?
Sorry for the late answer:
I will never abandon Spreadcoin, I think the Spread Proof of Knowledge (POK) mechanism is interesting and I have already seen other coins use this. So we should at least maintain position as coin that invented POK.
More stuff coming soon!
Hi Guys. Is this forum going to be resuscitated?I think people will come to it once the decentralised block explorer is out.
The SPR has died! ;D
