Not sure what this means. How does this relate to Test MSC currency id=2?

Well, under current implementations, the total number of MSC will eventually be about 50k more than the total number of test MSC because of the dev MSC which vest slowly over time. So far nobody has recognized test MSC which vest slowly over time in parallel to dev MSC.

| This transaction permanently destroys Mastercoins in exchange for favorable placement of this property in the default sort-ordering of properties on every UI. Protocol parsers should accumulate all promotions of a property (which can be done by any address which has Mastercoins), with newer promotions being worth more than older promotions. |

Given that ordering is UI dependent, is it true there's no guarantee that this transaction will have exactly the desired effect, and that placement is dependent on promotion and activity for all the properties?

Yeah. The ordering is the aggregate effect of all promotions, and the UI using those scores. UIs could even weight the scoring differently than described here if they wanted to, but I didn't want to complicate things by talking about that.

Yes, I am cutting the number of properties in half for MSC and test MSC. There are several other messages which use currency ID, and it will now be possible to infer from the currency ID they are using whether they operate in Test MSC ecosystem or real MSC ecosystem. A similar change was made to data streams. Yes, in the (essentially impossible) event that somebody produced a bitcoin address which matched a fake address that had coins sent to it, they would own those coins. The same thing would happen if my client generated the same address that you are using. Again, it won't happen in many lifetimes of this universe :) I think I have now made all changes and fixes according to your very helpful comments. I'm going to start inviting a wider audience to see this PR. Thanks so much. |

This might be too radical a change, but rather than cutting the number of properties in half (something we can't control the generation of), how about using the upper bit of Transaction Type instead? It seems much less likely that we'd fill up 15 bits for Transaction Type than the whole community might fill up 31 bits of currency id. So the test ecosystem would use potentially different transaction definitions - which can be recognized and processed separately from the production ecosystem. I think it would actually be simpler using the same coins in two separate ecosystems rather than two sets of coins to imply two separate ecosystems. |

I thought about doing exactly that. I would probably have gone that way if Keep in mind that it would be trivial to get around this 2-billion property In summary, I prefer to let our children or our grandchildren worry about On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 9:08 AM, Marv Schneider [email protected]:

D'oh!! I was thinking of the ones I just added, even though you clearly said "pay dividends" was one of them. Sorry - fixed. |

Hey Marv, I added a "property data" field in the latest commit. Can you please merge Thanks! On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 2:35 PM, Marv Schneider [email protected]:
