Hey all ... newbie here.

We need help on some ideas that we are working on at The Ingenesist Project.  I've been on the Beyond Bitcoin Hangout for the last several months learning about this community.  I believe that here is great potential here.  Is this the right place to ask for interaction with this members of this group?  Let me know and hopefully we can start a thread.  Thank you very much.

All money is backed by the productivity of those who choose to use it; that's just how network effect works.  The more people there are who consider the currency valuable and who are willing and able to provide a variety of goods and services in exchange for it, the greater the utility of that currency.

I could be misunderstanding, but my initial impression was that Curiosume is an attempt to create a currency based on these principles without recognizing that this is already a big part of how every other currency works.

In the interest of not slipping the release date we are going to fall back to 3 or 5 second blocks using the current P2P code.   Then after we update the P2P code we can increase the block rate to 2 and ultimately 1 second block times.

Ben is in the process of preparing instructions for committee members on how to change the block interval and we plan to dynamically update the test network to prove that we can do this on a live network.

Under the new protocol transactions only get sent once (vs twice under the current protocol) so bandwidth should be lower and block latencies will be lower because we do not send transaction data with the blocks like we do today.

Please try to make just one damn thing work (commercially speaking) before screwing it off to go and make something else.

You don't like how things are going. This is why we have Voting.

Did the chain ID change or am I on a fork?

test5 is a brand new data directory.

Thanks.  I am running with the new logging now.

Interestingly enough those changes prevent anything from showing up in the terminal
