Title: [ANN]Arweave (Techstars 2018): A new internet in a very scalable blockchain
Post by: Archain.org on August 04, 2017, 10:41:35 PM

What is Arweave?

Arweave is a brand new internet in a massively scalable blockchain.

It is a global, permanent hard drive on a new kind of blockchain
Arweave was previously known as Archain.

Meet the Blockweave
http://arweave.org/img/icons/weave.svg

The blockweave is an evolved blockchain that offers permanent data storage and can grow to colossal sizes by efficiently self-organising its data across many machines.

Unlike its predecessors, Arweave allows this sharding to occur flexibly and dynamically to adapt to shifting requirements of the network, without losing its guarantees of redundancy and verifiability.
Additionally, Arweave’s novel Proof of Access algorithm replaces the high energy usage of typical blockchains with useful storage of data.


Proof of Access

http://arweave.org/img/icons/proofofaccess.svg

Arweave achieves its feats of vast scalability by requiring miners to only hold the previous block in the system and a set of randomly chosen old blocks. Each time a block is mined, a new ‘recall’ block is chosen. Only those that hold the recall block can successfully mine the next block.

Miners are rewarded in proportion to the amount of the blockweave that they store. Miners are encouraged to store the parts of the blockweave that other miners do not, as this proportionally increases their chance at receiving a block reward. Additionally, the Proof of Access system replaces much of the high energy expenditure associated with traditional cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) with information storage.

Overall, Proof of Access creates a new kind of blockchain that is spectacularly scalable and energy efficient.

Long Term Mission

http://arweave.org/img/icons/vision.svg

Humanity has always attempted to store important information for long periods of time. For lone individuals this is an extraordinarily difficult and costly affair.

By taking advantage of the globally cooperative nature of blockweave mining, the Arweave creates large economies of scale on the cost and complexity of permanent data storage. By providing a cheap and permanent data storage mechanism and an easy interface for developers to interact with, the Arweave will attract vast quantities of valuable and important information.

Over time, this verified store of information will grow in value as copies elsewhere are lost. We anticipate that as the utility of this information store grows, use of the Arweave will snowball.

Arweave’s Functionality


Enabling a New Internet

http://arweave.org/img/icons/newinternet.svg

Arweave provides a new serverless internet infrastructure, one based on decentralisation and the permanent availability of pages.

Because of the blockweave data structure, each page on the Arweave is cryptographically linked to every other page, making its modification or loss impossible.

Massively Scalable

http://arweave.org/img/icons/scaling.svg

Due to the innovative new technologies upon which the network is based, Arweave is the first cryptocurrency that can reach internet scale.

By allowing Arweave to be spread across many computers, a network is created that is as secure and verifiable as all of its predecessors, but can flexibly scale to provide the amount of storage the network requires.

A Platform for Permanent Apps

http://arweave.org/img/icons/gear.svg

Arweave has been built from the ground up as a platform for a new class of permanence based, decentralised applications.

The Arweave makes permanent data storage available to any developer, in any programming language, through a simple HTTP interface. Arweave storage can be seamlessly integrated into apps, both old and new.

What It Can Do

 Decentralised applications made using the Arweave's simple API can solve problems that were previously untenable.

Arweave achieves profound data reliability by building economies of scale in the organisation of data storage. It is extraordinarily difficult for an individual or organisation to build a permanent data storage system, but on a planetary scale, using financial incentives, the task becomes achievable and affordable.

Below are just a handful of the kind of apps that can be built using the Arweave's developer toolkit. If you are interested in building an Arweave app, check out our Github, blog, and our dedicated community Discord server.

A Permanent Internet Archive

http://arweave.org/img/icons/globe.svg

As well as providing an entirely new internet infrastructure, the Arweave supports archiving pages found on the traditional internet. This allows users to secure valuable pages on a decentralised network beyond the control of any one organisation or group. This is made possible through a web browser extension that allows users to mirror pages found on the traditional internet in their current form on the Arweave for just a few pence and a single click.

Once stored on the Arweave, these pages, in the exact form in which they were archived, can be retrieved at any time by its users. Ultimately, by providing a method of permanent and verifiable information storage Arweave strives to ensure internet freedom from undue censorship far into the future.

Cloud Storage for a One-Time Fee

http://arweave.org/img/icons/cloud.svg

Backup your personal file in a permanent and decentralised storage cloud, and pay only for what you use.
Check out the alpha (https://medium.com/@arweave/archiveit-zero-fuss-permanent-file-storage-d849de5233f3)

Legal Document Storage

http://arweave.org/img/icons/legal.svg

Arweave allows verifiable private contract storage, allowing anybody to prove the contents of a legal document at any time. This will disrupt legal archiving, empowering lawyers to cut paper waste and join the decentralised age.

Not only will the Arweave revolutionise legal document storage in the future, but companies are already using the Arweave for financial compliance and verification purposes.

Ensuring Personal Legacy

http://www.arweave.org/img/icons/polaroid.svg

By providing true information permanence for the first time, the Arweave allows everyone to ensure their digital legacy. The indefinite preservation of digitised memorabilia will allow anyone to communicate their life's journey to grandchildren and generations to come.

Permanent and Verifiable Science

http://arweave.org/img/icons/science.svg

The Arweave project is working with academic partners to provide permanent and verified storage of scientific data and results.
By providing a permanent and public scientific publishing platform Arweave will fuel a virtuous cycle of Academic transparency and legitimacy, as well as preserving an apocalypse-proof library of science.

Publish Freely, Publish Permanently

http://arweave.org/img/icons/typewriter.svg

Arweave allows permanent publishing of news articles, blogposts, and social media, on a network hosted by the writer’s peers.

Publishing on the Arweave is serverless and administration free, while maintaining the visual form and style the authors prefer. The Arweave ensures freedom of expression for decades to come for writers across the globe.

Verifiable Democracy

http://arweave.org/img/icons/vote.svg

Arweave allows for open, verifiable and free elections, ensured by the power of cryptography.
By enabling pseudonymous votes, Arweave elections remain anonymous but allow all citizens to verify the legitimacy of a democratic vote. Furthermore, every vote in an Arweave election is cryptographically entangled with every other vote in every other election, ensuring that no single party can subvert their results.

It is an interesting concept but there are a lot of problems. If people are just achieving the links, and if the links go dead after a certain time; there is no value to the stored link. If you want to save whole webpage on the blockchain , that will cost a lot of space. I dont think we have that much scalability in any of the current blockchain.

Without sharding of the blockchain, saving a whole blockchain on a computer will never be successful. How is that supposed to happen?

Another major concern that I have with any plugin that gets installed on my browser is leaking my privacy from that plugin. Is the sourcecode going to be open so that we can be certain that a plugin which has access to my web history will not be secretly collecting my browsing history.

I believe that archain archives the webpage and connecting links so that this information is accessed from the chain and not the internet.  Correct if the links go down, ex: a link to a pdf within the website,  not stored on the chain, then yes that stored link would have little value. 

I am curious of the scalability of Archain, I did read about off chain storage of images. I guess the the real value of Archain will be our own value to storage of information that has a high risk of deletion

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. We do try and explain how our blockweave implements true scaling in the whitepaper, but if it wasn't clear, then perhaps we can do better. To quickly summarise: the blockweave incentives even distribution of the data because a randomly selected old block is required in the mining of each new block. In this way, mining can only efficiently be achieved by storing


a) the whole blockweave (this is what we expect people to do early on)

or, if storing the whole blockweave is not feasible

b) storing the bits of the blockweave that are least stored by everybody else.

In this way, as the blockweave becomes too large to store in one place, the best strategy for each miner individually results in an even spread of the stored data across the group.


After the ICO on Sept 18 when will holder receive their tokens?  I hope they will not be locked until genesis Q1 or Q2 2018? 

Hi,

You will recieve your public/private key immediately, and will be able to use your wallet on the testnet as soon as it is live.

Obviously, tokens wont be available for full use until the genesis block is released.

Another major concern that I have with any plugin that gets installed on my browser is leaking my privacy from that plugin. Is the sourcecode going to be open so that we can be certain that a plugin which has access to my web history will not be secretly collecting my browsing history.

We will open source everything related to archain.

Can I suggest creating a ERC20 token that can be traded in the interim, only for those that would like to do so, and that will be 1:1 to your token upon genesis launch?

Thank you so much for replying. I was guessing correct that the blocks will be saved over the nodes randomly with some redundancy. How many copies for redundancy do you expect?

Thank you so much for replying. I was guessing correct that the blocks will be saved over the nodes randomly with some redundancy. How many copies for redundancy do you expect?

Good question. The simple answer is 'enough'. The longer answer is that the incentives to store blocks increase dramatically as the number of copies of the blocks decreases. At the start, we expect that most miners will hold most blocks, then over time the proportion of the weave held by each miner will slowly decrease.

While its hard to predict what the behaviour of the network will be in the long term, the algorithm has been designed such that the miners are always selfishly encouraged to provide a good coverage of all the blocks.


Can I suggest creating a ERC20 token that can be traded in the interim, only for those that would like to do so, and that will be 1:1 to your token upon genesis launch? 

Thank you, this is an excellent suggestion. We will have to talk to our legal team about this first, but we will look into doing it.

I really love the idea of Archain. But why do you guys choose Erlang as the programming language? For scalability only? Honestly it isn't really friendly.... Beyond this, I'm gonna support Archain anyway.

Hi mgao6767!

Thanks for your support of Archain.

The core of the Archain system is written in Erlang (for the scalability reasons you mention), but we plan to build an 'Archain App Bridge' in the future, allowing the use of other languages.

At the moment we are considering adding support for Java and Python, but we are open to suggestions. Which languages were you particuarly interested in writing Archain apps in?

Great to see someone finally tackling this concept; It's something I have been thinking about for a while.

Having read through the whitepaper, I have a few questions...

  • How will the submitted file size affect the cost to submit the URL ?
  • Do you have any plans to limit the daily  block data size ?
  • What controls do you plan to prevent viruses & malware being added to the library ?
  • How do you plan to handle Javascript webpages which load content after the HTML has loaded ?
  • How would submitting videos be handled ? YouTube webpages (for example) might be updating frequently due to likes, views etc. So a plain video submit may be preferable.
  • Have you considered including an incentivised Content Approver role ? This could be used to check unverified submissions for bad content (porn,hate etc) before being flagged for inclusion by miners.

Hi FredDag,

Thanks for your questions and interest in Archain!

First, the cost of storing a document will be proportionate to the size of that document -- for both 'verified' web pages and 'unverified' files. We do not envisage a daily block size limit.

Support for webpages that load their main content through Javascript is still under review at the moment. These pages (after their contents is loaded) could always be archived in their 'unverified' form, but may not be verifiable (with all their content loaded) when the network first launches. This is something we will look at in the first few major updates to the Archain web-scaper post-launch. One of the methods we are exploring is similar to the way Google partially evaluates some Javascript in order to make dynamic sites indexable.

Videos are a difficult area for Archain, owing to their size. While it will always be possible to upload unverified videos to the network, this will likely prove prohibitively expensive for most situations (given the permanent nature of Archain storage). Instead, however, we aim to support replacing videos in webpages with hashes of videos, in a similar way to the method described for images and other multimedia objects in the whitepaper. This will allow users to 're-unite' videos that have been stored off the chain, with the web pages that have been stored on it. In this way, as long as the video is stored somewhere that it is accessible later, it can be proved to have belonged to the archived web page, at the time of archiving, after the fact (for only the cost of storing the hash itself).

We have not considered a 'Content Approver' role, as this could potentially lead to systemic censorship. Data getting onto the weave, however, is dependent on being accepted by the miners. The system has been designed in such a way that if the community decided to, they could build their own 'content approval' nodes, which miners could choose to consult before accepting transactions. These could simply be typical Archain Developer Toolkit apps (discussed on the website and in the whitepaper).

Finally, we have an experimental anti-virus system (built atop SamAV, utilising ClamAV malware definitions) that can be optionally used to scan incoming transactions for dubious contents. Please note that this feature is 'experimental' at this stage and may not make it into the first release (hence its absence from the whitepaper).

I hope this is helpful. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any further comments or questions.

Thanks,
Archain Team

Hi all,

Thank you all for your comments! I will try to answer the questions in turn.

mgao6767: Good point! We will update it soon.

danniel: We just finished setting up our Slack channel. Please feel free to join us (https://join.slack.com/t/archain/shared_invite/MjI1OTkzNjMxODI2LTE1MDI2NDA3NjItMmQ5YzIwNGNjNw)! IPFS has permanent naming (any single name will always refer to the same contents), but the contents itself might not be avalable if it is not 'pinned'. In Archain, names and documents are truly stored permanently. Once they are added to a block, they must necessarily always be available.

Hi Dev,

Mind if I ask a simple question? What's the total supply of ARC? It seems the pre-sale supply is 50M, and 105 ARC per block afterwards. But is there a capped total supply or it'll be unlimited?

And also, when joining the sig bounty, is it okay to update the signature when my rank upgrades?

Cheers

Post by: Archain.org on August 14, 2017, 11:16:58 AM
Hi mgao6767,

The starting supply of ARCs is 55 million (50 million available in the pre-sale, 500,000 for bounties and 4.5 million held by the company), as laid out in the terms of the pre-sale. The initial block reward will be 105 ARCs, halving every year thereafter. Subsequently, the total number of ARCs is not technically limited, but after a time the rate of increase in the total supply will become inconsequential. Most of the block rewards for the miners will instead be derived from the transaction (archiving) fees.

Thanks,
Team Archain

EDIT:

Also, it is absolutely fine to edit the signature for the bounty campaign when your rank upgrades. Thanks for your interest!

Hi Newbcoins,

Thanks for your comment! You are absolutely right, we should have social media accounts linked on the website with our team members. Some of the team have added theirs today, others will be doing so over the next few days.

We don't offer an explicit discount, but the first set of tokens will be sold at a lower rate than later sets. For example, the first group cost £0.09 per ARC, but the second set will cost £0.14. You can find the details in our terms and conditions. We also have a variety of contribution rewards that you can check out on the website.

In other news, the first version of the Archain web extension was released today! Early backers can now download the extension and start queuing web pages to be archived once the network has launched. There are already a few hundred pages waiting to be permanently archived.

Thanks,
Team Archain

Hi there,

A question to the dev team.
Have you considered the way to deal with attack, where an attacker would request to archive a huge number of random & useless pages?
Several bots could make thousands of such requests per second, thus making the archain "memory" full of useless garbage.
Is there any mechanism in place to prevent it?


Title: Re: [ANN][PRE-SALE] Archain: an internet archive inside a PoA cryptocurrency
Post by: Archain.org on August 19, 2017, 03:02:19 PM
Hi Tajneprzezpoufne,

Thanks for the question. To some extent, the Archain does not care about its contents. One could store (unverified) useless information onto it, but that would not negatively affect the blockweave and would be extremely expensive.

Another way of thinking about the system is that it offers permanent data storage for a fee. On top of this, Archain has a method of verifying the contents of webpages, thus enabling its 'primary' use as an internet archive.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi,

I have a spin on the previous question, which is more efficiency-centric:

Let's say Alice and Bob both submits an URL to be archived, either at the same time or at different times with no incremental content change. Will the network check if content already exist and inform the user or will both Alice and Bob have their content archived redundantly and both be charged the transaction fee?

I'm asking this because there can be "news-worthy" events and many users could archive the same content, but this provides no additional value to the data stored on the blockweave.

We would disagree with you slightly that repeatedly archiving the same page adds no value. By repeatedly taking copies of the same page, the page is subject to greater scrutiny, in that changes are picked up in a much more granular way.

This means that these news worthy events you describe are simply subject to higher scrutiny in archain because of it, a result we think is favourable.

Hi both,

@Jayoba: We have attempted to engineer it such that archiving one web page costs about 1 ARC, but this rate will ultimately be determined by the market of miners, so we will have to see.

@mgao6767: Fantastic! It is very exciting to see people starting to queue pages for entry into the archive. As we see it, collecting of the first entries for our shared digital library does make you a hero, but perhaps we are biased :D! We will be adding a variety of different methods for submitting entries to the archive as the web extension develops.

Post by: Archain.org on August 28, 2017, 01:53:11 PM
Hi both,

@mgao6767: Yes, the archiver pays the miners for their work and storage. One of the things we are most excited about, however, is the potential for people to create special interest archiving 'groups'. These groups would all contribute a small amount of ARC and run an ADT node in the Archain network that automatically archives webpages relating to a given topic. Because of the flexibility of Archain ADT nodes, they could even take manual submissions on a web frontend, check whether the contents are related to the interests of the 'team', and archive it if appropriate.

In this way, groups that are interested in funding the archiving of information about a topic they think is important could be linked with people that want to archive certain web pages for free. The key to these archiving groups, however, is flexibility: The Archain ADT allows their nodes (which decide what the group should archive) can be programmed simply and completely arbitrarily.

@willdono: Glad you like the sound of PoA mining! We hope you will consider joining the network when the time comes.

Thanks,

Post by: eXpl0sive on August 29, 2017, 06:04:00 AM
OK, so been through this thread and also the whitepaper. Had few questions that seem to be addressed in this thread (like total supply of ARC etc). Sttill have few questions/assumptions, please let me know if those are correct:

- I understand that someone who has a wallet and submits a archive request does not need to store the weave. Only the ledger which grows about 13MB per year. Is that correct?

- Actual archive data is stored in the weave which has no size limit but due to the decentralised nature the miners need not store the entire weave themselves, rather 'some' blocks from the weave. The more 'rare' blocks they store, the more incentive they have. Is that correct?

- The 'text' portion of the webpage is entirely stored in weave while media (documents, images, videos) are hashed in weave and the original media remains offchain. As long as the original media is available on local storage, it can be accessed via weave. (However the question is: does the media need to remain available in that particular machine from where it was archived or it can be replicated to other miner machines to make it easier to preserve?)

- The weave works like a P2P system where nobody has a complete copy of the entire weave but everyone has access to the whole data collectively. In that case is there any chance that some part of the weave becomes inaccessible if those blocks are destroyed or go offline for unknown duration (just like P2P peers getting stuck at 98% because there are no seeds)?

The way I see it in a nutshell, Archain is the decentralised version of Archive.org Wayback Machine, with better accessibility.

Hi both,

@stupid_seb: Glad you are interested in the project! We will be in touch regarding French translation.

@eXpl0sive: Your comments are pretty much spot on. Thanks for taking the time to read in depth about the project! We know there is quite a lot of detail to get through. I will address each of your points in turn.

Quote
I understand that someone who has a wallet and submits a archive request does not need to store the weave. Only the ledger which grows about 13MB per year. Is that correct?

Yes. All a 'full' client or miner needs to do to join the network is download the last sync block, and the TX stubs from that block to the present block (the sync block 'period' will change over time, but the total download required will stay comparatively minute).

Quote
Actual archive data is stored in the weave which has no size limit but due to the decentralised nature the miners need not store the entire weave themselves, rather 'some' blocks from the weave. The more 'rare' blocks they store, the more incentive they have. Is that correct?

Yes. The only clarification I would make is that the more blocks a miner has, the more likely they are to be able to mine the next block. However, not all blocks will be equally stored in the network, so miners are incentivised to store blocks that few other miners are storing (as this lets them compete in the PoW part of the PoA system among a smaller group of miners).

Quote
The 'text' portion of the webpage is entirely stored in weave while media (documents, images, videos) are hashed in weave and the original media remains offchain. As long as the original media is available on local storage, it can be accessed via weave. (However the question is: does the media need to remain available in that particular machine from where it was archived or it can be replicated to other miner machines to make it easier to preserve?)

The media can be included on the weave, but owing to the price, we don't expect people to do this often. The files associated with the hashes can be stored anywhere, and 're-united' with the data on the weave later. We anticipate that if the Archain is successful, 10 - 20 years from now sites will pop up where people can offer rewards for the original media that matches a hash stored on the weave, allowing them to completely re-construct pages they find particularly important.

Quote
The weave works like a P2P system where nobody has a complete copy of the entire weave but everyone has access to the whole data collectively. In that case is there any chance that some part of the weave becomes inaccessible if those blocks are destroyed or go offline for unknown duration (just like P2P peers getting stuck at 98% because there are no seeds)?

It is possible, but the incentive for someone to find a block that appears 'lost' becomes extraordinary. It would grant the holder the soul ability to mine a new block that requires that old block, guaranteeing the associated rewards. Then, once the new block is found, in order to be accepted and verified by the network the miner needs to distribute the recall block as well as the new block. As the recall block is 'rare', many of these miners will store copies of it. Subsequently, over time, these storage imbalances will 'level out'.

Quote
The way I see it in a nutshell, Archain is the decentralised version of Archive.org Wayback Machine, with better accessibility.

This certainly covers a good part of the project's functionality. I would add that it also does decentralised verification of the content prior to archiving (unlike archive.org), as well as arbitrary permanent data storage for a fee ('Permanence as a Service').

Thanks again for your attention to the Archain project! I hope this helped clarify some aspects of the project. Let us know if you have any other thoughts/comments/questions/ideas!

Hi, I've thought about creating an archive coin like that before finding your project. Good to know someone is already working on it, we really need something like this with all the ever increasing censorship of oppressive countries and laws like 'the right to be forgotten'. Congratulations on the initiative!

Since the sites will be partially stored and in a decentralized way, how do you plan to avoid bottlenecks in the future? I believe it's important to also reward miners that have high-bandwith connections, otherwise you may end up with Freenet-like connection speeds (I've tried it many years ago and it was very very slow, may have improved since then).

Also. if you need help with the Brazilian translation, please let me know.

So far we've planned to distribute 1,116,292 ARC (As of 14:24 BST - 02/09/17) and an estimated 50,000 ARC through the bounty campaign (This is likely to increase expoentially with the increased popularity of the campaign).

Buyers receive their wallet details immediately after purchasing, and will be able to use them with the Archain client once the network launches.

If you have any questions, let us know.

Thanks,

Dan
Archain COO

EDIT: Clarified when buyers get their ARC wallets.

So a little more than 1.1 mil tokens sold so far. I was going through your site and looks like 50 mil is the goal? What happens to the project if it falls short of the pre-sale target? Because looking at current scenario 50 mil is a long way.

Hi Shaggy404,

We did not expect to sell much of the total supply during the pre-sale period, as we only started advertising the project when the pre-sale began. We see it as a springboard for the main sale, for which, it appears to be working quite well. Our visitor numbers and sales are have been following an exponential path, while we are also starting to gain greater visibility in the crypto media.

As well as pushing development forward, we also plan to use the gap between the end of the pre-sale and the start of the main sale later this year to further raise awareness about the project and build partnerships within the cryptocurrency community.

If the main sale ends before a significant portion of the ARC tokens are sold, a solution that works well for pre-sale/sale buyers, as well as the company, will be reached.

Thanks,
Sam
Archain CEO.

Thanks Sam. I already invested in pre-sale. Was just curious about potential scenarios and your readiness for same. Your response is fair enough.

Wishing you best for the success of the project. It is hard to see projects like this these days: with clear goal, well-set roadmap, solid tech, viable product and pre-existing market demand.

Was wondering what the difference is between Archain and IPFS/Filecoin? Do you think Archain is a competitor to IPFS/Filecoin?

Looking for more information and clarity on mining. What algo are you using? What coins currently on the market is Archain similar to in terms of mining?

Thanks

devs, thanks for all answer. can you tell when the ico will happen?

we invest in archain now but its better if you have roadmap. and also i think permanent net have good use, but blockweave and scaling will attract more investor if you promote it more in the marketing.

Hi all,

Thanks NewbCoins, I will pass that on to India and Joanna, although, I must admit that the blurriness was my idea!

@loferbart: The hashing algorithm at the core of the PoA mining mechanism is SHA2-256, like Bitcoin. The major difference is that miners can only mine blocks for which they have an accessible copy of the 'recall' block (which is pseudo-randomly chosen from the set of all previous blocks). In practice this means that the amount of time miners can directly participate in the hashing competition (PoW) part of Archain mining is directly proportional to the amount of the weave that they locally store, or can access. Another effect of this is that the hashing competitions themselves will be between smaller groups of miners, leading to a lower 'difficulty'.

Thanks,
Sam
Archain Team

Hey,

I believe we may have answered your question on Slack (http://join.slack.com/t/archain/shared_invite/MjI1OTkzNjMxODI2LTE1MDI2NDA3NjItMmQ5YzIwNGNjNw) (Which we highly recommend as a place to talk to the team on!).

But if not I'll recommunicate what Will, our CTO mentioned on the topic.

"Archain is selling permanence as a service while filecoin is selling storage as a service. Ultimately, filecoin lets people rent out their storage space but archain operates on a "pay once, let the networks sort it out" basis. While we may appear similar in certain aspects we don't consider ourselves rivals or competition as our core demographic is marginally different. Filecoin operates essentially as a cloud storage service while archain operates as a permanent distributed harddrive."

If you have any queries let us know,

Thanks,
Dan,
Archain COO

Hi mgao6767,

Most of the development team's time has been taken with working on the website and administrating the token pre-sale recently. Once the pre-sale is over it will be back to 'all hands on deck' finishing the product. We are also taking on a new core-product developer in the coming days to help us at our new office.

It is also worth noting that the product, as it stands in the repository, is a fully functioning cryptocurrency with all of the core Archain features implemented. The critical gap that needs to be bridged between now and the launch of the first alpha test network is support of true networking, rather than the use of a simulated network. We are excited to get back to it!

All the best,
Sam
Archain CEO.

Hello!

I have a few questions to ask though.

1. What is the total market cap?
2. When is the company established? (date) ?
3. What's the date of when ICO starts? (After pre-sale ends)

Regards,

Post by: mikesheadroom on September 11, 2017, 05:32:12 PM
We have attempted to engineer it such that archiving one web page costs about 1 ARC, but this rate will ultimately be determined by the market of miners, so we will have to see.
With trillions of web pages now existing, that seems like quite a high fee, IMO.  When first reading about this project and the projected supply of ARC, I imagined it would cost more like 0.001 ARC per page.  As you indicate though, the market will eventually dictate the price.
Good luck to all with this exciting new project!

Post by: Archain.org on September 11, 2017, 06:05:28 PM
Hi all,

@phucbot93: The main sale will be starting later this year, sometime in November/December. We are planning to have the main sale run until shortly before the network launches, so the exact date is yet to be determined. We will post here and on Twitter, etc. when everything is finalised.

@Crazymoon: Thanks for the questions! I will answer them in order.

1. There will be 55m ARC at network launch, with 10% of that figure issued in the first year as mining fees, halving in every subsequent year.
2. The company was officially incorporated in July this year.
3. See my answer to phucbot93 above.

@mikesheadroom: As you say, we will really have to see how this turns out. We are also focussing on support for 'archiving groups' which would split the cost of archiving certain types of content across a number of people, rather than the archiving of each page being soully funded by one person.

Thanks,
Sam
Archain CEO.

Storj focuses on storing data, not on archiving websites. Archain, as I understand it, is more like a snapshot of a certain website at a certain time, making it possible to see it how it used to be before it was for example censored.

Nope. Not even close.

Do not interpret 'snapshot' as 'screenshot'. It is an archived version of the webpage, residing on a blockchain. You should read their whitepaper. It is interesting.

The OP states 50,000,000 tokens for pre-sale.
Block rewards are 105 ARC @ 5 minute block times, which is 11,037,600 ARC in the first year.  I recall reading that the block reward will reduce after the first year, but I'm not 100% on the details.  Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Edit:  Whoops, this was already answered above.

Hey all,

We've now come to the end of our pre-sale, thank you to everyone who participated and helped contribute Archain along the way, we're going to follow our development timeline as see on page one of this thread. Feel free to continue asking questions or prompting for further details here as we progress.

Our main-sale is aiming for a December start running towards March, although this is subject to change. We're going to wrap up our bounty campaigns this weekend for the pre-sale and potentially carry or start some new ones, but again subject to further inquiries.

We'll be contacting inviduals later about translations very soon too!

One last important piece of information is that we've dropped Slack and moved to Discord, you can find the Discord invitation link here (https://discord.gg/2ZpV8nM).

Thanks to everyone whose supported us thus far! If you have any queries, let us know.

Hi NewbCoins,

Sorry to hear that you are not happy with the changing of the name of the token. This move is in order to differentiate the Archain project's token from other similarly named cryptographic tokens.

We want to reassure you that nothing else about the Archain project has changed: the Archain project is still called the Archain project. Our values, mission and direction remain entirely unchanged.

Please let us know if there is anything else you would like to know about the token name change.

Hi loferbart,

Firstly, thank you sincerely for your comment. I checked, and you are entirely right - I'm not sure how it happened, but the GitHub link on this thread was indeed invalid. I have now amended this error with the correct link to our active GitHub repo. Also, here's the link for your convenience - https://github.com/ArchainTeam. I have double-checked the website link too, and again, you're right - it currently leads to the wrong repo. I will ensure that this is corrected today by the dev team as a matter of urgency.

As you can see by checking out the correct GitHub repository, our development is indeed progressing rapidly and we are very active with our commits. Again, thank you for pointing these issues out, as it allows us to find and correct issues like this.

As always, we welcome any comments you may have when you're had a chance to check out the correct repository.

For details of how this will propel Archain and the AR.cash cryptocurrency to new heights, we recommend that you visit our Medium blog post here (https://medium.com/@archain/archain-techstars-f4ed609355c4).

Post by: Archain.org on February 22, 2018, 04:43:37 PM
Hello everyone,

From today onwards, Archain will be known as Arweave. This will further differentiate us from similarly named cryptocurrency projects, while putting the focus on our novel and innovative blockweave technology. Rest assured that we remain totally committed to our mission of building a universal platform for information permanence, and there is no change or impact on the tokens held by our backers. Same team, same vision, same technology - just a new name.

You can read more about the name change on our Medium blog post here (https://medium.com/@arweave/archain-now-known-as-arweave-432f0708eed0), and check out our brand new website at www.arweave.org (http://www.arweave.org).

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback feel free to share them here on Bitcointalk, or email us directly at our new team email address (team@arweave.org).

Here on Bitcointalk we will be using the new username Arweave.org in the future, so if you see posts from that username, you can know that it's a member of our team speaking to you.

Best wishes,

India

Hi @thestupidfool

AR cash tokens are not on exchanges yet, as our main network hasn't launched yet. If you want more info about our timeline (including main network launch date, etc.), I'd recommend this blog post of ours (https://medium.com/@arweave/archain-timeline-winter-spring-2018-935a44a43318). If you want to hear first about the next opportunity to buy tokens, I'd also recommend signing up to our token sale mailing list on our website here (https://arweave.org/#involved) - don't worry we won't spam you or share your email address, ever.

Let me know if you have any questions - always happy to help.

I completely agree - it's a significant global market and we're offering a unique solution that we believe is genuinely better than the alternatives (especially for medium- and long-term data storage, due to the 'pay once, store forever' ability of the system).

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions - I'm always happy to help!

ICO Analysis: Arweave
Published on May 26, 2018
By VlaSem


Verdict
A project with a wide use case idea, forthcoming main net launch, solid advisers and partnerships, increased project market awareness and a small hard cap make Arweave an attractive investment target.

Risks
    Teams are build from recent graduates that lack experience in corporate governance, but nevertheless, have a good education and you can see that their Github is active and project main net will be launched in June. -1
    Competition in this segment is rather fierce. -1
    The token sale of the project went nine months and thus has a wide spread of pricing during various stages, which in turn makes it risky to enter into ICO. -1.5

Growth Factors
    Data storing is a big market and the product has a competitive edge on its competitors. +1
    Active Github and Mainnet launch June 8. +3
    Confirmed partnerships and strong advisers. +1
    Low cap ($8.7 million), which is both assuring and reasonable. It also sets the project up for significcant growth potential. +2
    Brand awareness is solid; the Telegram group has 24,000 members. +2
    There is a high demand for this project from the community and it seems that the private round is oversubscribed. The project employs PoC (proof of care) for investors who want to participate in the crowdsale, which implies that there will be an unmet demand during the ICO. This could offset negative risks of a wide price spread between token sale stages. +1.5

Disposition
The project generates a two-fold opinion. On one hand, the team is rather young and inexperienced. On the other hand, they have good advisers and partners and plan to launch a working product in June. Although the space is full of competitors, the product has a competitive edge and market is still huge with significant growth potential. However, due to long token sale cycles, Arweave has a wide range of prices during different token sale stages. However, early indicators suggest the project is oversubscribed, which means high demand. This, in conjunction with a hard cap of $8.7 million, give Arweave a rating of 7 out of 10.

Arweave crowdsale has just started. Pers caps are sent out via email and will be protected for 72 hrs. After that for 24 hrs: max 50 ETH (FCFS). Hardcap of the crowdsale: £500k.

While the team behind Arweave is the newcomer in the crypto world, they managed to release a new storage solution. Despite the competition and scaling issues, I believe that Arweave is still a serious contender among the storage protocols.

Does that mean people (first 196 transactions) who broke the rule, their allocation for round 1 and 2 will be redistributed to people who sent after 196. In other words, the allocation refunded will be reserved for contributors who sent the fund after 196 , 1 Ethereum each person until the cap is reached ?

I think I misunderstood. When I said sending funds I meant the transaction itself. And when I said reporting the hash, I meant submitting the hash in the upvest portal. So I’m good. It’s basically the first 196 confirmed transactions.

Mainnet is technically life. Not really life if nobody can connect to it except the arweave team. Which is totally ok. But it would have been nice to know this so we don't spend money and time setting up servers that can not do anything.
I was very excited about today. Now quite disappointed. I think our time has a value too.

Its nearly a year since this project started and hey! They're not yet paying until now. I think excuses and promises are enough since there's no any development. Participants thought that this project is a total scam that it took a lot of months for the said progress. And the investors might be thinking that its a total waste of money and time waiting for a project like this grow.

I just happen to know a few people in the ‘safety’ industry. And I know it’s a big factor. To not only manage and protect people the reputation of contractors or companies.
I guess you reach critical mass where you’re so big that a major safety incident could potentially ruin you, with the speed at which bad news spreads nowadays.
Probably only applicable for developed countries where ‘safety’ is actually valued though.

The total genesis block supply is 55 million tokens (with additional 11mil distributed in the future as mining rewards) and the I believe the circulating supply is approximately 41-42% of the genesis block tokens (so that's approximately 23 mil tokens)

Last thing Arweave needs is to be listed on an exchange oin this market. Look at previous listings of good projects during a bear market vs bull market. The difference is 2-3x or 10-30x so for those of you wanting a listing now your wanting the wrong thing.
The Arweave team needs to have contacted the major exchanges and negotiated the fees and filled out the necessary documents to be ready for a listing, then just wait to pull the trigger.

Well I took part in ICO not preICO. And yes I'm dissapointed as well, but I know the  that the market is not in ICO mode. If tokens were released now we would get rekt. Nothing to do with what btc's price is or was during ico - just peoples sentiment.
If we go below ICO price but 2x in eth I consider that a very good gain.

What happened to being transparent with the people supporting the project? Without the people the project is worth nothing, much like churches, religion, etc.

I smell a lot of greed in here. Seems like people havent invested in projects before. Crypto is so fast in all categories. Especially in developing.
Investments in "real" world companies can take years to fire up any kind of production or results. Arweave startet a year ago with an idea and just one year later you got a working network. What else you want? It also wont be finished by the moment the exchanges list the token.

Completely understand what you’re saying. It’s not a bad idea. But it’s also an option that will take time to develop. Personally I’d prefer if it was done through an existing exchange - leave the exchange to those who already have the infrastructure.And instead have the team focus on Arweave specific development.

Thanks interesting piece, exchange listings have honestly turned into a massive money making racket, sure you have infrastructure to maintain and such but these listing fees are straight up ridiculous
Dexes are the future!

Very dead community with very bad community manager Stan. I have repeatedly cited the example of communities where each member is welcome, and community manager not make stupid answers to serious questions. In this community, the manager is like a parrot, repeating the same thing every time. Stan, be more inventive, sometimes it seems to me that you are a stepchild of artificial intelligence...

As Arweave tester and contributor I can say that I like the idea,
but I do see room for improvements.

- add extension notification for confirmed/failed transactions (desktop, audio, visual...)
- detect and notify duplicate content submission.
- add support for DOCx files.
- better search engine with more files listed
- add wallet option to export data/transactions/archived pages in text files.
- HTTP support for archiving
- compressing files
- add extension support for Firefox and non-chrome browsers

Uniswap
As of today, we have started restricting access to a small number of tokens at http://app.uniswap.org
These changes pertain to the interface at http://app.uniswap.org the Protocol remains entirely autonomous, immutable, and permissionless.

Many DeFi UIs (including versions of Uniswap) are already decentralized on the Arweave's permaweb.

You can check out some of them here: https://permadapp.com

You can get to the Uniswap UI as of  24/01/2021 directly here https://uniswap.permadapp.com/#/swap

The world needs decentralized interfaces.

Wouldn't it have been bad if all non-power user DeFi traders woke up one day and the Uniswap Labs interface was gone w/ no alternatives?

This is a wake-up call! Bookmark the decentralized interfaces. Make them lindy. (h/t @anjan_vinod)
