Show HN: Skepticoin, the Coin for Non-Believers

sashimi-houdini 5y ago
I heard about bitcoin first right here on HN, and I thought today would be a good day to return the favor. Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks Sashimi. Any details on PoW/PoS/PoSSD/DAG? tokenomics? Is there a smart contract system? A secondary layer? Is it rug pull proof? Did you premine? 51% attack? Can I mine this on my Atari ST? You going to list on Sushiswap first? Should I buy this or SafeMoon? Or do a balanced portfolio to spread risk? Buy or mine? Can I buy you a Pizza or two for 10000 of these? And do you have a faucet? What's the discord?

    We haven't properly covered the more advanced layers of bullshit yet but we're getting there: https://github.com/skepticoin/skepticoin/blob/master/docs/params.md https://github.com/skepticoin/skepticoin/blob/master/docs/pa... for details on the parameters Atari: not sure but if it supports Python you're good (until target hash rates ruse even further) Pizza: see elsewhere in this thread Issue #1 on github is for begging ("faucet") There's a subreddit rather than a discord for now... we like to be open about what this particular pump and dump is about

      I have to tell you I love the small blocks. The smaller the blocks the sooner you can offer a thundering network, and we can set up some triangles and that’d be damn awesome. Convoluted tech is the best. How about a block size halving every 13 months?

  Mining right now, finally found a good use for WSL2 other than running docker desktop. Note that the instructions for WSL2 were a bit different (I'm running debian) - had to install python3 and python3-pip packages but after that is was smooth sailing. I am currently the proud owner of 0.00 skepticoin and that makes me feel good.

  How many skeptis for 1 pizza?

    Pizza I'm not sure but a bag of tulip bulbs was bought for 10,000: https://github.com/skepticoin/explorer/blob/master/b0099d84dd74e2143f15503ea571d7f4f29fa23633f64819b1fc74e6bc5cc61c.md https://github.com/skepticoin/explorer/blob/master/b0099d84d...

  What do you mean? Skepticoin is the future of cryptocurrency!

Is there a way to contact you? Maybe some IRC channel or whatever?
