12.5 hours to go in the UK.  Wishing you all a very good 2016 

I'll be paying out tomorrow (unless my hangover is particularly bad) - Georgem just went Legendary.

Getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, I've been told off about that in the dev channel, but hey-ho.

As we are getting ever closer to running full Bitcoin nodes, SPR now has economic and technical interests in Bitcoin BIPs progressing professionally.  I think we should consider allocating a portion of data income to BIP development to support them.

This is actually quite a tough challenge. If there is support for this, then the issues become which BIPs get funded, how do you spend the funds, etc, etc.

Thoughts? I might open this up to the Bitcoin discussion thread if there is some support for this idea.

Yeah - still hero, either coins101 indeed has a hangover or the forum system is playing a trick on us...  

Aaaah.  It was a joke.  Very funny mate

Yep, it's in the birth canal alright.... can't wait to unleash this d(a)emon baby on you guys.
Soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (For me at least)

Found it:

The task is indeed enormous, and I am by far not yet finished in every aspect.
But what I am going to present later today (could take a few hours still) is the current state of the work.

Stay tuned, and don't buy into a bubble, guys. Wait for the real wave that will come over the next days, when testnet starts.  

More info later.

Sounds reasonable.
But first we are going to stick for a while to altcoins that have a small blockchain.
Makes testing easier and faster.

So, the 80GB Diskspace is not really required, but can't hurt.
We are probably good with 10 GB Diskspace too...
