Simcoin – A Docker-Based Blockchain Simulation Framework
- speps 9y agoSemantics I know but should be called "CoinSim" and not "SimCoin". At first, I thought it was a physics simulation running on Ethereum, but it's a coin simulation framework.
- simonmulser 9y agoyes, would be a better name for the project. I hope the subheading clarifies the purpose.
- lukevers 9y agoI thought it was a coin based on the game "The Sims" or "Sim City". I was pretty disappointed when I saw it was not.
- seomis 9y agoWere that a semantic issue, wouldn't it just as well apply to every Sim [City, Ant, Earth, etc.] ever made?
- avip 9y agoWhat's simcoin/base:v1 ? I don't see it in dockerhub.
- simonmulser 9y agothat is a dockerized version of the bitcoin reference implementation. you can build it with `make build-image` (consider to use multiple threads to build the image - check Dockerfile under code/docker).
- krosaen 9y agoI think it'd be worth marketing this as 'multi-node' somehow, otherwise the docker piece seems irrelevant. So what's cool is: you can simulate a multiple node blockchain network (and this is technically achieved via docker).
- simonmulser 9y agoor "A Blockchain-Network Simulation Framework".
- tlrobinson 9y agoI’m a little surprised we haven’t seen more simulations done to support “big block” and “small block” positions in the Bitcoin scaling debate. Or have there been some?
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoHow many simulations would you like, we already know large blocks propogate fine and at some point they will introduce orphans to a less optimized part of the network
- tlrobinson 9y ago> a less optimized part of the network To me that reads "smaller miners", which means further centralization of mining.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoyes, and so does orphans
- hybridsole 9y agoBut it doesn't mean they propagate "fine" if it pushes smaller participants off the network. That is exactly what cryptos like Bitcoin are trying to avoid.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoI didn't take a stance at all. I said exactly what would happen and that the tests exist.
- jameskegel 9y agoCryptonote currencies like Monero have elastic block sizes for this reason

- progx 9y agoWhen starts the ICO? ;-)
- simonmulser 9y agothis is an IDO - inital development offering ;)
- 0xWilliam 9y agoGRC is an amazing coin technology that integrates with BOINC for simulating real science!
- jtwebman 9y agoLooks like this might be dead. The exchange has just a few buy orders on it and lots of sell orders.
- simonmulser 9y agothis is about the simulation framework (https://github.com/simonmulser/simcoin https://github.com/simonmulser/simcoin) and not the coin simcoin.
