@Arcurus why don't you come sell me some of your DASH on FreiExchange?

well anyway, it works better if you start with no block chain downloaded (empty chaindata\) then run C:\Users\Reza\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum Wallet\binaries\Geth\unpacked\geth --syncmode "fast" --cache 1024 console. That loads chain much faster. After that, run wallet. I'm not sure how wallet performance will be after that. more info: https://theethereum.wiki/w/index.php/Ethereum_Wallet_Syncing_Problems#How_to_recover_from_slow_syncing.3F

But the time is over. And their first declaration was already recorded. i could be completely wrong here. But I value the 'back to basics' thought process to see what exactly is meant or required to happen. After a few ego 'releases' it is actually fun. it seems to me the POW essentially does 3 things: (1) choose a unique person to issue the block; (2) maintaing the 10 min pace (allowing time for transactions to be transmitted accross the network and for people to assemble blocks); (3) third 'to have skin in the game' to not cheat. The second can be achieved by a clock, the first thr

Back to basics. Please endulge me: Why can't something like this work instead of POW? 1) Master clock starts at 0 2) At a special viewing area, a number is randomely chosen and put in a closed "box" and put in central viewing area (but number remains nonvisible). 3) for 10 minutes, nodes compile block. When they are ready to submit, they announce they have a block and submit it with another randomly produced number. 4)At the end of the 10 minutes, the random number is revealed, and the node that submitted closest number wins. A variation is, a node is selected a

Is there something that can be done so that the blockchain cannot be copied with a hardfork like BCC? It seems to me now, BCC has proven that Bitcoin is not a trustless system. Am I wrong in my perception of this? But I realize I am asking to make a hardfork that won't allow hardfork ...

Perfect. I will use that excuse for the explorer too.

How can that happen? How does the wallet allow you to send more then you have? Demurrage is deducted every block, when you open your wallet. But there is a difference of 1 satoshi. So it's really close.

I would like to help with the testing.

@Mark Friedenbach Yup. I meant 'currency split' as in 'stock split'.

Hi Maaku! Is what you are describing a currency split to bring remaining funds back up to a total supply of 100 million?

Well, that's as official as things get here. We got a majority of 'Yays' agreeing that Option 4 represents the communities choice for ending the foundation. So its done, decided. LET'S DO THIS!

Oh me too. Just updating the wallet for a couple of weeks takes longer that the initial load a month ago. I think this has to do with the denial of service attacks. Apperently there is a 'fast load' method, but I don't think this makes a difference for recent attacks. I too gave up. I will try 'fast load'. We have to figure this out so we can put Ethereum on the exchange. Honestly, I'm not sure how Ethereum can even function right now. I mean, my lap top has 12G of RAM and it can't update the wallet! To me, it's like Rick's animation ^^, a total car wreck.

Thank you. But I already counted you @fedde. We still need one more 'yay' to say this was decided

Since, we are not using rules of order, discussion is still happened while voting on a resolution to move forward. That's fine. But one more 'yay', or synonym of, will make it a majority.

@Fabrizio, regarding the parameters for option 2, I too did ask if @jtimon could maybe share some thoughts on that. And thanks for presenting your ideas too--although I wanted to wrap this up. He has so far clarified: 1)funds to go through miners, not POS; 2) one of the reasons we want to end the Foundation is because no alternative method for distribution was developed by us, so we shouldn't pretend that we will developed one now, 3) the goal is to end the Foundation, not to create another one. So option one represents the maximum time to distribute the funds, option 4 thier complete destruct

Yes, smiley crêpes are considered a synonym for 'yay'.

While we are not following rules of order, 3 more 'agrees' would make it final. So please indicate a 'yay' or a 'nay'. Yay = 'yes' and nay = 'no'. Any other synonyms are acceptable

Well Fab and Bick weighed in. A total of 10 people voted. That's pretty good. It's a little difficult to count and rank as some people voted for one option, some ranked their choices, and some gave equal rank to two or more options, then some changed their minds ... . I also know Fedde's second choice is option 4, which I included. So not counting 3rd or 4 th rank, and giving equal weight to 1st and second choice, I count: option 1 - 7 option 2- 4 option 3 - 1 option 4 - 7 It appears that option 4 is most people's second choice and the philosophical 'middle

regarding distributing mining coins in a different way, could CPU mining be a solution? Obviously not for the hash rate, but for identifying a participant. Then mining rewards can be distributed on a weighting factor between hash rate and no of participants (as identified by the network of wallets configured for mining). I suppose this has nothing to do with developers but rather P2pool.

@jtimon, could you maybe say what you thought would be a good set of parameters for Option 2? I assume this would set the time frame and payment regime for the Foundation funds? Anyway, option 3 looks bad. One thing there is to learn about the Foundation is that bad optics should be avoided. While the Foundation funds have remained mostly untouched, people had viewed it as a possible scam. So then we distribute the Foundation funds and the richest people get richer--pure POS. After we multiply all address balances by 5, what then? Where are you going to spend it? Its like you and your fr

Well, staying off topic for just one more comment, ;-) @jtimon, that sounds GRRR-EAT!!

Looking through the comments, people have voted for more than one option. Considering that, it appears that option 1 has the most support at 6 votes, and option 2 at 4 votes.

Well, @jtimon with the BTC from the ico, you pay the developers to work full-time on FRC and do promotion. I'm not saying one has to do an ICO, I'm just answering what one could do with the BTC: invest in FRC. But, the time it takes to set up a ICO, FRC wallets could be updated. Certainly, you know the issues surrounding coming regulation better than most.

;-)

Well anyway, Freicoin without demurrage is not Freicoin. Without demurrage, it just becomes a crappy 2014 clone of Bitcoin. You could POS or change the hash protocol, but there is no originality there. How many clones from 2014 are significant today? The top 20 list of crypto-currencies now are 50% coins in ICO (ie not even existing),Ethereum, and Ethereum copies which are at best multi-million dollar templates for Azure. Meanwhile we have a bunch of mouth frothing 'investors' creating self fulfilling prophecies from technical 'analysis' while everything is simply correlating to BTC. What, am
