Title: [ANN][XPS] Payshares - Simplifying Money for Everyone
Post by: kedia on April 04, 2015, 08:53:17 AM

Payshares is an open source protocol for exchange, payments, and remittance forged by Kedia.  Its base components include an open distributed ledger system and native currency payshare units known as XPS.  The Payshares Platform enhances the cryptocurrency industry with near instant extremely low cost transactions with great risk reduction for all participants.

Payshares for Windows: https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/releases/download/0.28.0-k/paysharesd.exe (https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/releases/download/0.28.0-k/paysharesd.exe)
Documentation : https://github.com/payshares/docs (https://github.com/payshares/docs)
Wallet: https://launch.payshares.org (https://launch.payshares.org)
Initial Supply : 100,000,000,000 XPS at 1% inflation.

The Payshares Ledger holds all account information, transactions, and offers available on the network.  Participants on the network are able to reach consensus in average of one to five seconds.  Consensus allows for the network to operate in a distributed fashion.

Everyone is able to participate and contribute computational power to the network on standard hardware.  Standard Servers reduce storage requirements by maintaining a recent snapshot of the ledger.  Trusted Nodes such as those in operation by Kedia will maintain the full ledger.

Every feature currently available in its competitors is also currently available for Payshares.  Unique to Payshares is the expansion capabilities of its distributed exchange, opening up asset management opportunities previously only achievable by centralized financial systems.

Development Update:

Payshares is now forging consensus and the initial reference implementation of XPR is available at https://github.com/payshares/paysharesd

Support is being provided for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit.  It is recommended to have at least 2 GB RAM, a quad core processor, and adequate disk space.  Installation of paysharesd on Ubuntu 14.04 is relatively straightforward with administrator privileges:


Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git autoconf autogen automake build-essential software-properties-common libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libgmp3-dev libminiupnpc-dev libmpfr-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev pax-utils
sudo apt-get install git scons ctags pkg-config protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev libssl-dev python-software-properties libboost1.55-all-dev g++ make
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 40 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
wget https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/LATEST.tar.gz
tar xzf LATEST.tar.gz
cd libsodium-*/
./configure
make && make check && sudo make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/payshares/paysharesd.git
cd paysharesd/
scons

After compilation, paysharesd will be available within the 'build' directory.  paysharesd.cfg should be placed in the ~/.config/payshares directory.  Create the following directories:

Code:
(if not exists):
mkdir ~/.config

mkdir ~/.config/payshares
mkdir ~/.config/payshares/db

The published documentation will be updated to reflect the initial validating node as referenced in the following example paysharesd.cfg:

Code:

My question:

Is this some sort of premined piece of shit coin like ripple?

Not much for info on this launch and it smells pretty rippley.. that isn't a good thing.

*edit: Total coins: 99999999999999000...  Only a fucking FOOL would get involved with a project with a ridiculous amount such as this.


Title: Re: [ANN][XPR] Payshares - Simplifying Money for Everyone
Post by: MRKLYE on April 28, 2015, 03:08:49 AM
My question:

...


The supply isn't mineable and reads as 99,999,999,999.999000 XPR at 1% inflation.  100 Billion Units is hardly ridiculous and participants may obtain units through participation on Twitter and Facebook.


Maybe I'm being critical. I just don't see any innovation or reason for this coin to exist though. :/

How should distribution of the Payshares Supply occur? embed
1. Perform a Giveaway
 3 votes (60%)
2. Host an ICO
 1 vote (20%)
3. Let developers retain it
 1 vote (20%)
5 total votes

Only 5 people vote on https://strawpoll.me/4354114/r

I am waiting for news are this coin will be launch or not,,,?

This seems to be a fork of Stellar which is a (back then already slightly stale) fork of Ripple. Any plans to update with more recent improvements from upstream rippled, as stellard is being rewritten significantly after all?

Also it is not unlikely that you are also vulnerable to some issues that Ripple recently fixed.


Title: Re: [ANN][XPR] Payshares - Simplifying Money for Everyone
Post by: Sukrim on June 09, 2015, 02:51:12 PM
Well, your config files are broken, so I can't verify if you are vulnerable as it is impossible to connect to your network - also you don't seem to actually do anything on that ledger (your total_coins number hasn't changed). Do you offer bug bounties?


Title: Re: [ANN][XPS] Payshares - Simplifying Money for Everyone

Payshares-lib 0.10.3 K has been released. The commit can be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/Payshares/payshares-lib/commit/abda6b2e6a478494c1674a0fac93be164a56bd33

Prior to building, please confirm you have the correct source tree with the git log command. The first log entry should be the change setting the version:

commit abda6b2e6a478494c1674a0fac93be164a56bd33
Author: Kedia <owner@kedia.co>
Date:   Fri Mar 9 01:25:14 2018 -0500

This is the Salted Beef Release focused on Foundation Platforms. Short term support is being provided for Ubuntu 14.04 while interim support is being shifted to Ubuntu 16.04 scheduled for the summer of 2018.

0.7.35
LastLedgerSequence is set by default on outgoing transactions. This refers to the last valid ledger index (AKA sequence) for a transaction. By default, this index is set to the current index (at submission time) plus 8. In theory, this allows ripple-lib to deterministically fail a transaction whose submission request timed out, but whose associated server continues to emit ledger_closed events.

Transactions that err with telINSUF_FEE_P will be automatically resubmitted. This error indicates that the Fee supplied in the transaction submission request was inadquate. Ideally, the Fee is tracked by ripple-lib in real-time, and the resubmitted transaction will most likely succeed.

Added Transaction.iff(function(callback) { }). Callback expects first argument to be an Error or null, second argument is a boolean which indicates whether or not to proceed with the transaction submission. If an iff function is specified, it will be executed prior to every submission of the transaction (including resubmissions).

Transactions will now emit presubmit and postsubmit events. They will be emitted before and after a transaction is submitted, respectively.

Added Transaction.summary(). Returns a summary of a transaction in semi-human-readable form. JSON-stringifiable.

Remote.requestAccountTx() with binary: true will automatically parse transactions.

Added Remote.requestAccountTx filter, map, and reduce.

  remote.requestAccountTx({
    account: 'retc',
    ledger_index_min: -1,
    ledger_index_max: -1,
    limit: 100,
    binary: true,

    filter: function(transaction) {
      return transaction.tx.TransactionType === 'Payment';
    },

    map: function(transaction) {
      return Number(transaction.tx.Amount);
    },

    reduce: function(a, b) {
      return a + b;
    },

    pluck: 'transactions'
  }, console.log)
Added persistence hooks.

General performance improvements, especially for long-running processes.

Payshares for Windows is now available at Github: https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/releases/download/0.28.0-k/paysharesd.exe (https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/releases/download/0.28.0-k/paysharesd.exe)

With publication of this executable, five validators are being brought online with possible long term availability.  The master validator remains at one.vld.payshares.org.  Our secondary payshares.org validator is in a snapshot state to preserve integrity of the Payshares blockchain while recently discovered issues are resolved.  This release is experimental with bounties for issue resolution ranging from 10,000 to 1,000,000 XPS.  It is expected that unknown events related to paysharesd on Windows may occur.  Post any discovered issues to https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/issues (https://github.com/Payshares/paysharesd/issues) and solve the issue to receive an XPS Bounty.

RocksDB is currently not an option for storage on Windows.  As such, daemon configuration and performance are different than linux flavors.   In particular, users will notice that synching the Payshares Blockchain takes longer than usual to synchronize as SQLite is being used.  Here is a sample paysharesd.cfg for Windows:
