Gridcoin - [GRC] 3.7.7.0-unk + 2/1/18 Snapshot upgrade missing staking coins locked from forking and extra steps for resolution

in gridcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

Interesting reading as always. A few notes on things you may have gotten incorrect:

The quakecatcher@home project was on the wiki whitelist for 6 months until I asked why I was not getting paid any GRC for the project and @NeuralMiner quickly removed it so those lists are as honorable and trust-able as the self proclaimed " trust-able community leaders "

The QC project was on the wiki since its inception on 4/15. I removed it from the wiki on 10/16. This is easily verifiable on the wiki history here:
http://wiki.gridcoin.us/index.php?title=Current_BOINC_Whitelist&action=history

I removed it from the wiki because QC was not on the whitelist, and I was doing a cleanup of that particular page (as is evident by my edits). It seems you're unaware of how the whitelist works, so let me explain: the working, official whitelist is on the blockchain (and updated as soon as possible on the official website and wiki by volunteers). Adding or removing a project from the wiki doesn't add or remove it from the actual whitelist. Regardless, I felt that having the wiki be accurate and match the current state of the whitelist was important, and why I made the edits. If you somehow feel having incorrect information on the wiki would've helped you or anyone else, I'd be open to hear your reasoning.

removes Customminers domination and security loop holes and possible easier exploiting the gridcoin network hosting more than 51% wallet clients

This is categorically incorrect, unless you expect people to believe that 51% of wallets/total supply out there are CMs. Not only that, but it's a basic misunderstanding on how a 51% attack would even work. Please stop spreading false information. This is not a "loophole", but simply your personal dislike for a single member of the community that's put a lot of time and effort into making it better.

since the Neural Network locks onto the coins and makes them not available for spending while held in the staking " kitty pot " until a consensus block is staked

Minor correction, and for anyone that may be confused from reading what you wrote, the NN doesn't "lock" coins or anything along those lines. Staking is separate from what the NN does. If staking required the NN, Linux users would never be able to stake (since Linux doesn't have a NN). The NN calculates research rewards and used for calculating superblocks. I suggest further reading so you can better understand the subject here:

thanks to G_UK's wonderful extensive work and thought process and taking the time to create from his own intellectual ideas apparently a graylist upkeep team

I agree; G_UK (@guk) deserves a huge thanks and recognition for his work on the greylist proposal. If anyone hasn't see it yet, please visit:
https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Tasks/issues/194
Submit any ideas/comments; I'm sure G_UK would love some feedback. He's put a lot of time into it, and even has a PoC spreadsheet you can use to see how it would affect current projects.

btw yes I a victim of that abuse and slander and all I have done was offer my time and my hosting services

You have been neither abused nor slandered. Ironically, you were banned from IRC for insulting other members of the community, threatening to DDoS/DOX others that donate their time and equipment, and making negative (to put it lightly) comments regarding their race, sexual orientation, and country of origin. After being banned for 3 days, you came back and continued along the same path. Out of hundreds of people on IRC, you are 1 of 2 people banned. We asked that you respect your fellow community members, but apparently that was far too difficult, and you were banned accordingly (by myself). If you feel that was done in error, you can ask another OP to review the issue, and I will gladly supply the IRC logs.
I'm not sure where I read the following, but I suggest you follow their wise advice (and I would hope they practice what they preach):

but we are a Team and need to act like a team even if we do not get along or like each other or what each other says we need to support and encourage and help each other not slander , ostracize outcast and shun

make everyone such as dutch happy so then he can hit and run on the project he bitches showing its his time of the month and maybe he was taking a few extra estrogen pills...

Perhaps give the previous quote a few more reads.

Now, for the people that managed to get through this light reading, let me suggest a few great articles that shed a positive light on the people in the community:

Great and positive news and articles from members of the community that I suggest everyone takes a look at.

thanks for mentioning the classroom! <3

honestly, i was just about to say that i have begun to receive some pretty "off" treatment since a couple of hangouts ago... but since you can still utter my name without spitting, i can see it's just a select few that would have me excised from the community. i've done nothing but shape up, and the reciprocral attitude, if i had to say, is even worse than when i was doing a crappier job. lol

how's that old proverb go...? "I built the bridge into town, and do they call me Sandy the bridge-builder? No. But, you fuck one sheep..." ;)

and yes, onward and upward GRC!
