Would be great if old wallets just gets reject by network so people have to update...

I believe that's how the 0.9.7.3b3 operates.

This is a must-read for anyone seriously looking to experiment with sidechains and Myriad.

All this is only on phone ?

This is interesting thought I would like to play

The API is down again?

Can you imagine a world where each house, apartment, or hut has the option to own its own Myriad miner? What if houses one day can have miners built-in to the foundation somehow? Is this realistic? What practical purposes would it help? Would it benefit the owner of the house at all?

Or should mining be delegated to a decentralized group of people who naturally tend towards the fascination that mining brings? As if it's their full-time job?

I ask this because I see two "classes" on cryptocurrency networks:

* those who have enough money and logistics to mine a blockchain for profit

* those who use the blockchain to simply transact tokens across it

Now obviously plenty of people who make good money may not choose to mine cryptocurrencies because they do not know enough or do not care. But will it be that they become obliged to?

Alternatively, what is the reality of people in lower-class societies being able to mine to make money vs. continue on with their job? This certainly helps with the current conundrum of "outsiders" having to buy bitcoin first to then buy something with it. Well, if you just mined it in the first place you can directly spend it like a normal person would. I don't think bitcoin is going to take off in the rest of the developing world for a very long time (outside of remittances) because of the extra layer of purchasing required for them to get "into" the bitcoin network that they can then transact upon.

A final question for now: What kind of practical usage of a merge-mined token or sidechain could make mining in every household a valuable experience? Could we make it so that this is actually feasible somehow? Or will mining in every household remain a pipedream because of the "stacking" ability of mining software that will keep mining in the hands of the few who were there in the beginning or can afford to jump in "late" in the game. I wonder if some type of personal household token that can be merge-mined through Myriad would be able to be used in some type of society/neighborhood setting, almost like the colored coin idea of Bryce's that never came to fruition. Each household that is mining may receive some special incentivizing token that can be used for purchasing things, keeping their house secure by using it as a smart property mechanism, or something even more novel that I cannot comprehend right now. I just think proof-of-work is such a beautiful thing that there should be some type of value it could bring to every home that chooses to mine.

json json! json is better!

That is my own donation address, not the house. If you like I will forward that on to the house if that was your intention. There is no direct way to fund the house (it is my own stash). However I have faith in the odds, so just keep playing and you will eventually fund the house

The weekly donation goes to 8bitcoder directly (at least that's my understanding, as I think his address was the first one published on the OP under bounties).
