Looks like a great idea.  Nice website, with list of partners.  (although not sure how i feel about "batshit crazy ventures" or whatever their name was.

It's a solid release with technical whitepaper + website + team instantly available.

How do you propose to do the distribution of the coin?  Will you be doing one of those "donations" or will you simply be distributing it like an airdrop?  Or will you be having a sale?

Thanks

looking forwards to seeing a fault resistant DAG protocol... and if you can pull it off, it'll be the first.

The generation of the coin will occur in the next few months, and at MainNet launch the tokens will be swapped. Distribution will happen over a variety of different methods including airdrops, validator rewards, etc. I hope that helps! More information will be coming soon via press release so stay tuned :)

We are looking forward to delivering one! :)

so... a token sale  ???
I see no benefit in offering a token ICO.

If you have DAG accomplished, then you should use DAG directly, surely...?
unless you don't really know what a Directed Acyclic Graph can do.

A token ICO has not been announced and is not on our roadmap at this time. 

OK. in that case, this was confusing:

http://info.constellationlabs.io/constellation-token-information (http://info.constellationlabs.io/constellation-token-information)

It seems to me that this is just another new bctalk account looking to make money.
This market is in for a rude awakening when US SEC decides these are all securities.

DAG is nowhere near ready for any of the things you profess to being able to do. For a start: 4000 tx's per second? Good luck getting 2000 without orphan blocks.

This is not a viable whitepaper, and anyone who buys into this will have a shock.
So you say there is no token sale,,,, ok... You could try the 'masternode' approach, but both you and I know that a DAG protocol won't respond in the way you hope it will. DAG nodes are not a static graph and when you try to hold them static, that's when you see total disconnection.. not just orphan blocks.

So. that rules that part out. What next?

"Lets just make it look like we have something viable and hope that people jump in with shedloads of money"

^this, is where your project is at. However, I will watch closely. Prove me wrong.

Thanks for the feedback and although we have closed all of our private contribution rounds, if there is any future sale we will reach out to those on the token request list. We are glad that you're willing to stay tuned. And as the weeks and months march on we will be releasing more technical papers, code demos, etc, etc. Our test net is slated for summer so feel free to check back in around then :)

Fault-resistant DAG application?!?

Listening and watching with great interest. I'll understand if you decide to ICO something like this, but if you make it mineable or airdropped I will be overjoyed.

Very, very interested.

agree, if you build DAG project, just use DAG, there are so many so called DAG projects here ask for donation, but never see a real product!!!

Thanks for the swift response.  Sounds very good to me, although i am patiently awaiting further details.  A press release is a very exciting way to make your first impression in addition to the already solid ann+website.  Looking forward to following your progress!

Looks interesting, is there any sort of roadmap planned?

wow ok I'm intrigued.
Hope for mining but would probably invest in the case of an ico

mining DAG is not easy! I'd avoid this one.. but watch out for DAGlabs instead, or mine XDAG.

There is project, Dagger which is minable DAG coin!

Well mining would mean that the network is being sustained through Proof Of Work-- which is not the case here. Validation occurs by a different consensus :)

i see XDAG last time  . other coin for smart contracts  http://xdag.io/

So, prey tell, what use is this to the members of this forum?
perhaps you are advertising in the wrong spaces.

is it like Darcrus project?

This is very interesting! keeping an eagle eye

will keep an eye on that as well!
any estimated date for this new press release? still before the end of april?

It looks like a kind of deception with STONE. Just to cheat the donation, and after the creation of the post, there is no further information.

Well from what I saw the dev wasnt asking for donations?  MAybe i missed it?  I think this has the potential to be one that actually delivers but i won't agree to the donation crap.  Id rather an airdrop which makes more sense.

We aren't looking for donations but please keep up to date with Constellation by checking out our site or following us on Medium

https://medium.com/constellationlabs
www.constellationlabs.io

:)

as  i reviewed the project for about 2hrs,it looks like a comprehensive project,and im hoping that will be successful project

Please share your detailed review with us unless I misunderstood and it is just a personal review. Thanks.

There is already a bytball better than centralized IOTA . The system is not on blockchain, but on dag, including smart contracts and oracles. What is the decisive advantage of the project that you offer in comparison with existing solutions? What is your innovation?

the information about this project is incomplete, I am waiting for his complete information, hopefully this project finds interesting ideas and concepts, because if ico project has interesting concepts and ideas will be many interested investors including myself, I will participate if I think very fit in my opinion

i see you are doing facebook ads, what is the progress and roadmap ahead?
are you planning for ICO and if yes when?

scam

We are privately funded, and have no plans for an ICO or public sale. Tokens will be distributed via airdrop. Please check out the roadmap on our site at www.constellationlabs.io

:)

Thanks for the message! We do not have plans for an ICO but please check our website (http://"www.constelllabs.io") to see complete information on Constellation :)

That's a mature reaction kudo's. It's just the landscape we live in and the amount of scamcoins/threads involving DAG projects.

Our consensus rounds select delegates based on earned reputation of each node over time, not pow, pos, or dpos. This is outlined within our whites-paper and will be further examined in our next series of papers.

So,> 50 days thread old, 2 pages, zero info about airdrop, very poor roadmap, no code on github, "token info" button does not work and a huge team is presented on the site=> the question is what they did during this time?

Just checking on the site of this project, It look so interesting when i look on the partners, I saw some familiar names from all of them.
So then I wish a good luck for the project.

Hi! The token info button is currently being swapped out for a button on Airdrop registration which will coincide with a blog post in the next few hours announcing it (you caught us on a big day!). Github will not be opened up until the testnet this summer, until then all code will be held privately. This is our second thread (a team member accidentally made this second one). Here is the original: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2702538.0;all

🤗😍✌️🤞

KYC in crypto airdrop...

When you see that the partners of the project are large companies with a worldwide reputation, this inspires confidence and there is confidence in the success of the project
egretia

We strongly believe in KYC and AML. We hope that you choose to participate given that the Orion portal is soon goin live :)

Thank you so much! And thank you for supporting Constellation :)

What Daaps are you currently working on?

 Can you explain your consensus model Proof of Meme? ???

Any news on exchanges?  I hear you just completed your TGE?

Thanks for reaching out! Our tokens (DAG) have been minted and are undergoing distribution until June 14th. We will never discuss exchanges publicly and any news will be announced via our social media channels :)

Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Conste11ation

Awesome question!! Proof-of-Meme is a distributed consensus method that incorporates a node’s historical participation into delegate selection. Definitively, a meme is a unit representing an imitable idea or behavior that can be spread (Dawkins, 1976). Thus in our case, it represents benevolent behavior across Constellation that is rewarded and should be imitated to improve a nodes overall reputation within the system. Proof of Meme is meritocracy compared to Proof of Stake which is a plutocracy. We hope that makes sense!

I read a part of the posts about the procedure of the KYC foк all participiants for obtaining airfields. Is this information true or not?

We have several applications being built in tandem with Constellation. Although we aren't ready to announce them yet, they are incredible companies that will truly leave an impact 🌎

We strongly believe in KYC/AML so this is required for all airdrops and for all of our private contributors :)

I heard some news about a developer portal.  What sort of plans do you have for the platform?  When will there be developer documentation?

Ethereum and Bitcoin do have a number of obsolete characteristics, and in order to speed up the processes in the system, a more modern operating system needed, which can be adapted to a large number of users. I hope that this project is capable t do it.

What is the main development challenge your team is currently tackling? Day to day what is your main focus?

How will the chaining of smart contracts actually work?

So does a hylochain help connect different blockchains?

I saw in a recent presentation that you are formally verifying your framework using category theory.  Can you explain what catagory theory is and how you are using it for those who haven’t come across it?

There are a number of moving pieces.  You can read VP of products latest post on our community portal for a weekly breakdown...https://community.constellationlabs.io/t/eng-update-kryo-algebird-metrics-and-gossip/107

Check our blogs and social channels for weekly engineering update: https://constellationlabs.io/blog/

In a way, yes as most protocols can be implemented in terms of the hylomorphic recursion scheme. The main purpose of hylochain is to embed blocks within blocks (think tiers) in such a way that we can traverse and combine the resulting graph of nested blocks using simple map reduce operations

Category theory is a reformulation of the foundations of mathematics that has taken stride since the mid 20th century due to its uncanny ability to describe ‘unfamiliar’ mechanics of quantum mechanics and most recently it’s role in the formulation of functional programming. The tl;dr on ct is that it’s a way of defining processes as different parameterizations of underlying mechanics. Category theory allowed us to define our recursive blockchain (hylochain), which allows us to dynamically partition the network with only local update rules; orchestrating metastability while only operating on local data. In terms of formal verification,  curry-howard correspondence allows us to attribute the mathematical properties of theoretical abstract data types to actual in memory objects using an ordinary type system. Proof of MEME defines liveness in terms of the steady states of a differential equation, and by defining our data types in terms of monadic operations, we can ensure that our code emulated our analytic models.

so if there are no transaction fees, how will you make money?

The value of the infrastructure is based on the awesome companies integrated with/built on top of Constellation. We have various partnerships in the works to hopefully have a few up and running projects powered by $DAG by MainNet launch.

How is Proof of Meme a better approach to consensus than other models out there and how did you come up with the name?

Why was it important for you guys to build in JVM?  What are the benefits and limitations of going that route?

New Consensus Model - Proof of Meme
 
Constellation’s Proof of Meme Consensus model is one of the defining aspects of our protocol underwriting our vision for a secure and fair internet.  We’ve produced a short video explaining the origin of the name, the basics of its functionality and how it fits into our overall vision. For those that want to delve deeper refer to our white paper, specifically page 11 “ Delegate selection model: Proof of Meme”.
 
Given the uniqueness of our consensus model, we want to encourage debate and questions on the topic. The Constellation team will be active on this thread.

JVM is a widely used programming language that will open up development to a wider community and user base.  As opposed to something like solidity which has a steep learning curve

We're incentivized to build utility on our platform and increase the value of our founder token allocation.  Check out our token distribution model for more information: https://constellationlabs.io/blog/

We've successfully distributed tokens.  Please see an update from CEO Brendan on our distribution approach:

Hello Constellation Community,
 
We’re excited to announce that tokens have been successfully distributed today, June the 18th 2018.  The $DAG token is live (See the contract on Etherscan here) and available for use in our community portal Orion. This marks the end of an intense sprint of development, token economics, marketing and channel development across our global community of supporters.  There are a lot of misconceptions about token distribution and the significance for blockchain businesses. We want to address some recurring questions from the community here and provide insight into the business decisions we’ve made.  Unlike a lot of projects, we’re builders and haven’t wasted resources on generating fomo around promises that we cannot deliver. We’re interested in delivering products and continuing to build the Constellation network and community. The distribution of $DAG today allows us to do just that. There are also legal and regulatory reasons as to why we’ve operated in a certain way and we want to make those clear, we have a long-term vision and adhering to these rules protects that vision.  Please read on for further clarity on our positioning:
 
A Product-First Approach
 
There will always be community members and investors who are out for a quick flip. However, we are focused firmly on building a viable and scalable network that can scale to billions of users. We are single-mindedly focused on that vision ahead of anything else. This is the distinguishing factor between a mature company and “project” that will not endure in the space. To support that, as founders we have a 4-year lockup on our own tokens. It takes copious amounts of resources, time and dedication to build a completely new blockchain from the ground up. We cannot get distracted with catching the ‘right moment’ in a time-cycle that can last for weeks, months or even years - when is the 'right moment'?
 
The right moment is a one that fits with the long-term business goals of The Foundation. One which aligns with the release of our incentivized community portal Orion from which token holders can stake $DAG and earn bounties for contributing to the success and growth of the Constellation network. In addition, our upcoming release of our permissioned testnet that has cross-chain compatibility with our DAG ERC-20 token. Allowing validators (miners) to earn monthly rewards in $DAG for contributing bandwidth and resources to the testnet. This means that without the release of the token we cannot continue to build the community or test and develop the Constellation network under real-world technical and economic conditions.
 
Communication
 
We asked investors and members of our community how they feel about token distribution in this market cycle. The answer we got was mixed, with some favoring a release and some wanting hold back. We took into account the growth of the network, functionality of the live token and a breadth of community input when making this final decision.
 
Timelines
 
Forward momentum and development require sticking to timelines. In normal tech companies, you move at speed in an agile way and have no end of roadblocks as you develop with well-established technology. In the blockchain space, you are not only moving fast but with new untested technology. In the case of Constellation we are building new technology that has never been seen before from the ground up. We are not a fork or copy/paste project and we must focus on building a new network without distraction. Timelines are essential to creating a company culture that delivers consistently. As many of you know we postponed token distribution from March to June once.  That decision was not taken lightly and we cannot pull back further on an already demanding roadmap.
Exchanges
 
We’ve reiterated this many times across all our channels but we are not in a position to discuss exchange listings. If and when $DAG starts trading the community will know and spread the word, any nonpublic information has to be protected.  We would like to share as much as possible but there are strict legal guidelines we must adhere to.
 
Finally...What has the brief history of crypto taught us?
 
Each larger bear cycle in the crypto market has enabled new strong players to emerge. In the downturn of 2013/2014 it was Ethereum that launched into a bear market. We will be seeing new players strongly emerge from this bear cycle as well. Crypto has come to stay and Constellation is at the forefront of building the new internet of connected devices that fairly rewards users and builds a global community of users. We are here to stay and are going only one way - forward!
The journey for us so far has been a humbling experience and we’re excited for the future and thankful to be building it with you. Without you, the community none of this would be possible and for that, we thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions please dive into our Telegram and we’ll answer asap.
 
Kind regards,
 
Brendan Playford
 
CEO Constellation Labs

Our CEO has released a statement to address $DAG launch and market volatility:

https://medium.com/constellationlabs/dag-distribution-addressing-market-event-pt-1-775c8c17f602
 (https://medium.com/constellationlabs/dag-distribution-addressing-market-event-pt-1-775c8c17f602)

Hello Constellation Community,

DAG launched yesterday to unexpected market volatility. It became quickly apparent what the issue was. In the spirit of transparency and community collaboration, we’d like to inform everyone and address what transpired.

Soon after token distribution a strategic investor with a large allocation unexpectedly sold their stake causing the dip in value. We had a huge amount of interest during our private sale and we took time vetting and building relationships with our partners. We wanted to ensure they shared our long-term vision and passion for the space and technology we’re building. Unfortunately, one specific investor did not make their intentions clear, like the community we are shocked, disappointed, and ultimately feel let down. It’s especially disheartening that someone with the privilege and capital to be an early round investor in Constellation would operate in such a way. The sad reality is this lack of professionalism is all too common in our industry at the moment, something that Constellation as a company is battling to change.

The individual in question has been contacted by myself. The reason behind his actions were a result of our refusal to give him early distribution and privileged information on exchange listings. We take this kind of behavior seriously as it is insider trading. We will continue to uphold these standards regardless of whether it puts us at risk from actions like this. We are seeking legal advice on what remedial steps we can take with the individual and will keep you updated on this.

Our price has stabilized and we’ve been in touch with our strategic investors to normalize and address the situation. We’d like to thank the community for rallying to our support (you know who you are) during this minor blip. We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again — we’re in this for the long-term. Anyone who takes the time to read the whitepaper, research the team and review our content knows that.

There were accusations in Telegram yesterday that indicated that the volatility was a result of founder tokens being sold. Let me be very clear and concise — we will never undertake any selling of tokens on exchanges. We have large institutional OTC partners that these types of sales will be executed with if and when they happen in the future. This includes any tokens sold to cover the employee and founder tax liability with the IRS for April 2019. In an effort to maintain transparency here is a current audit and balance matrix showing liquid supply and upcoming token movements. We will send an announcement when we are going to move token balances in cold wallets and the reason behind the move well before they happen from now on.

The final circulating supply of $DAG tokens will be:

628,341,430.42

This is until the first unlocking period the takes place on December the 1st, 2018.

Many thanks for all of your support and we will be releasing more product updates in the next 48hrs, including a demo of our testnet.

Our AirDrop registration is now closed.            

https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-airdrop-registration-closed/

Dear Constellation Community,

We’ve hit over 62,000 registrations and the Constellation 2018 AirDrop is now officially closed to new applicants.  The response has been phenomenal and we’re thankful for everyone who signed up and spread the word.  The monthly AirDrop was set up to reward early community members and evangelists by providing a membership to our network, portal, and future testnet.  As our profile grows we want to make sure our allocation of community tokens rewards the pioneers and early adopters.  Involving the wider community is important to us given the current regulatory and legal restrictions around public sales.

As a reminder, below is the Airdrop schedule. We have allocated a total of 33M tokens split evenly across the 6 months with 3M tokens going to Earn.com participants on July 7th. Depending on the number of tokens staked you will enter one of two tiers, community or developer in our now live Orion Portal. Each tier will provide a 6-month membership to the community portal and tokens will be staked (locked) for the same period.

View the Airdrop Schedule and post here:
https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-airdrop/

Please note that all existing participants will be required to undergo KYC/AML through our token portal once live and the AirDrop is not open to US participants at this time. We’re currently looking into ways to reward our US community through 3rd party partnerships such as our current Earn.com campaign. Again, thank you all so much for your incredible support and we are extremely excited to continue this journey with you all.

DAG Lists on KuCoin


We’re excited to announce that DAG is now trading on KuCoin (https://www.kucoin.com/#/). It has been two weeks since our initial token distribution and we’d like to thank everyone for the support so far, particularly our community members and partners in South East Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and South Korea.  We’re excited to be part of the KuCoin family and we could not have done it without your support. The momentum has been relentless with a number of listings on global exchanges over the past week. Our exchange presence will continue through July as we roll out our testnet and further features on Orion.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, KuCoin has a global presence which offers a safe, secure and easy-to-use mobile and desktop exchange service.  They’re leading the way in customer support, user interface and trading tools, and we’ll be growing our network and presence alongside them. If you’re not already a member jump in and start trading (https://www.kucoin.com/#/trade.pro/DAG-BTC). 

Token Distribution Audit

Yesterday Brendan provided a detailed breakdown of the token sale. It overviews the internal structure of each round of token sale in the Constellation SAFT and private sales that occured in both January 2018 and June 2018 respectively.

Ryle VP of Engineering ENG Update

We’ve begun performance testing the experimental alpha release on the kubernetes cluster. Focusing on tests with between 3 and 10 nodes right to verify basic functionality and optimize machine selection and our data storage layer and LevelDB access. We found and began patching several bugs related to chain buffer memory and node synchronization edge cases. Nodes are all synchronizing properly on the longest chain (the bundle with the highest cumulative score,) but there was a desynchronization issue in validation set updates during chain switches. We’re running tests on the order of a few hours and applying patches repeatedly to collect data and verify integrity with parity checks on the chain. Bundles are demonstrating a full DAG data structure, and the parent hashes correspond to our main chain which acts as a snapshot mechanism for the graph.

For now, we’re using a relatively simple DAG with signatures of node ids embedded, this determines reputations and validator rewards, and applies transaction updates on main chain additions for simplicity. Eventually, the inner bundle DAG will become much larger as we scale the cluster upwards, and we’ll begin adding more combiner types. We’ve upgraded the consensus module to be more abstract (allowing many consensus operations to happen in parallel on different sections of the graph.) We Began defining schemas for batch signature combiner operations, inner checkpoint operations for reducing transaction redundancy, preparations for address data locality functions, address metadata state embeddings and refactored some of our JSON exports for easier use.

We’ve also setup CORS for upcoming migration to new UI and fixed some dashboard cluster display bugs.  We started adding API authentication for locking down nodes and began optimizing UDP serialization layer and adding more security fixes. We moved more metadata storage into LevelDB and refactored schema to reflect updates and finally… Added more endpoints for serving bundle data / recent transaction information to UI.

Until next week.

Sincerely,

The Constellation team.

CEO Brendan has provided a detailed breakdown of the token sale:

https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-token-distribution-internal-audit-july-2018/

Hi Constellation Community,

In the interest of transparency we’re providing a break down of the internal structure of each round of token sale in the Constellation SAFT and private sales that occured in both January 2018 and June 2018 respectively.

Please review this document in conjunction with our formal token model which can be downloaded here:
https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4221910/Constellation-Token-Model-1.pdf

These figures are currently being formally audited by our accountants in San Francisco and Cayman. These will be updated in around 8 weeks time if there are any changes and formally published during August as a PDF report.

These figures represent all tokens that were sold to the public in the previously mentioned tranches of tokens sales, they do not include earlier seed rounds where tokens are locked for 2 years with 6 month cliffs and remain locked.

As can be seen the discounts ranged from 15% up to 50% for a very small allocation of tokens that went to partner applications being built on Constellation. The bulk of tokens were sold with a 25% discount in the January SAFT sale.

Ethereum lock in rates:

January 2018: $900 USD

June 2018: $561.20 USD

The total raised was slightly above the hard cap of $33.7M and totaled $35,260,238.41 and was paid by a majority of Ethereum, although some payments were received in BTC and USD. The breakdown of which will be released with a the full accountancy audit.

Please click here to review the information in a public Google Sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WKcl6z3APqP-VT7uBIKB7NtWI2pUaJBbBBrnV5e7lZU/edit#gid=2036548479


This information will be superseded by a formal audit from our accountants that will take place over the next 8–12 weeks and made public once completed. Any discrepancies will be corrected in a follow-up PDF report.

We will follow this blog post up with a token release schedule graph which will show the release of tokens from locked wallets over the next 10 years including validator rewards.

Happy Monday!

Kind regards,

Brendan Playford

CCN has covered our KuCoin listing and opening of developer portal, Orion:

https://www.ccn.com/high-throughput-blockchain-lists-on-kucoin-opens-up-bounty-program-to-developers-using-the-dag-testnet/

We'd like to take a moment to answer questions prior to our first Airdrop:

https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/airdropupdate/

Dear Constellation Community,

Prior to our 1st AirDrop we wanted to clarify some recurring questions from the community.

Please be aware –  A number of AirDrop scams and fake google doc forms have also been circulating.  Report any unofficial/scam DAG AirDrops in our telegram channel. 

When does the AirDrop Start?

Successful registrants for the first AirDrop will receive an email invite to start the KYC process on July 7th. The first round is limited to the first 2000 people who complete KYC.  If successful, you will receive confirmation prior to tokens being distributed on July 24th.

Why am I receiving my tokens in the 24th of July and not earlier?

We need to ensure that our lock-up contract is fully audited.  The intervening weeks before token distribution will make sure the process is safe and secure.  Future AirDrops will not have a shorter period of time between KYC and AirDrop distribution.

If I registered for the AirDrop am I guaranteed to receive tokens?

No, our AirDrop was heavily oversubscribed therefore not every registrant will be accepted. If you do not complete the KYC registration you will be unsuccessful and exempt from further AirDrops.

What happens if my KYC is pending?

The team will be manually checking your credentials.  You will still be in line for the AirDrop if KYC is manually approved.

How many AirDrops will I be eligible for?

Just one.  If selected you will be placed in 1 of 6 AirDrops this year.  Refer to the schedule here for timing.

How many tokens will I receive?

Depending on which tier you fall into you will receive:

Community membership: 250 $DAG
Developer membership: 1000 $DAG
I applied for the AirDrop via the Earn.com promotion. When and how will I receive my tokens?

Earn.com users will receive tokens through the same KYC process as regular entrants for the second AirDrop on August 14th

I was an early member of the Telegram channel. Will I receive DAG via the AirDrop?

Yes, as promised the first 3000 telegram members with automatically get placed in the September AirDrop.  We have captured your emails.

Will Tokens be locked up?

Yes, Tokens will be subjected to a 6 month lock up which will in-turn give you access/membership to the Orion portal across community or developer tiers. After 6 months the token will be distributed to your ETH wallet provided.

Any further questions jump into our TG channel.

Happy 4th of July,

Constellation Team

Cointelegraph has covered the launch of our membership portal, Orion:
         
https://cointelegraph.com/news/horizontally-scalable-blockchain-system-launches-flagship-membership-portal

What are the 9 different foundations and what is their purpose? Will that also be released after the formal audit?

smart contracts on a dag is an amazing idea. i will wait for results

 [Weekly Update 8/31](https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/constellation-update-product-engineering-news-media-mentions-techcrunch/0

Dear Constellation Community,

Our teams have been hard at work this week, and we’re all very excited for our  sponsored panel and workshop at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2018 next week. Read on for more about what's been going on...

Product Update

This week we found additional end user experience that required enhancements. This is in preparation for our community to earn points and convert those points into DAG.  This week’s enhancements include MetaMask, Orion Portal, and Social account experience.

- Added front end validation to the transaction approval process which lets transactions run more smoothly and reduces risks that a user inadvertently stakes more than DAG than intended.

- We added the ability to link Medium accounts to your Orion profile, which will let you participate in bounty rewards related to marketing.

- Updated transaction processing screens so that they auto-refresh to show transaction updates.

- Fixed bugs that arose after Metamask released updates.

- Small changes to copy and UI.
 
Engineering Update

- New updates are on dev branch (https://github.com/Constellation-Labs/constellation/tree/dev).  Merged V1 batch downloader fixes. Finalized new edge schema for all chain data.

- New flow uses a schema similar to GraphX but with batch signatures and hashes at raw edge level. Edges at a higher level are polymorphic with 3 type parameters, left vertex, right vertex, and optional edge data. Our basic primitive is that of an Observation Edge which tracks 2 ordered vertex hashes and an edge data hash. This is a requirement for signatures, the actual data is populated after resolving in a polymorphic Edge class which is encapsulated in each specific usage. Example being a transaction which is an Edge between 2 addresses with data corresponding to the amount. Observation edges are captured by Signed Observation.

- Edges which hold witness signature data of an arbitrary number of participants. Checkpoint edges capture sequences of hashes, and validation edges capture collections of checkpoints.

- Genesis flow has been updated to incorporate new schema. We’re adding a REST transport layer for more generic node peer communications and simplifying and unifying the network code.

- Worked on finalizing resolver mechanics which require a notifier DAG for issuing processing updates to new data which has dependencies on other potentially unresolved data.

- Fixed bug in address formatting. More refactoring around Futures handling to optimize code.

- Working on on unifying and simplifying the networking code.

Media Mentions
- COO Ben discusses Constellation's distributed ledger and consensus model with Markets Media (https://www.marketsmedia.com/constellation-labs-eyes-distributed-ledger-3-0/).

- VP of Engineering, Ryle, weighs in on whether or not blockchains can ever move beyond economic models with Finder.com.au, Australia’s premier crypto and financial outlet (https://www.finder.com.au/constellation-can-blockchains-ever-move-beyond-economic-models?utm_content=buffera73c0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer).

Constellation Update - TechCrunch Disrupt, Ambassador Program, AirDrop 3 & More
https://constellationlabs.io/blog/index.php/weekly-update-tech-crunch-disrupt-ambassador-program-airdrop-3-more/

Dear Constellation Community,

It’s been an incredible couple of weeks here at Constellation Labs, and we’re excited to recap all that has transpired.

TechCrunch Disrupt proved to be an enormous success. We spent three days meeting the wider SF tech community, connecting with business leaders, developers, and entrepreneurs who expressed interest in what we’re building and how their projects can potentially integrate with our distributed ledger technology. The conversations were truly inspiring, and they’ve helped us further refine our product vision and how we communicate as a company. On Friday, Ben Jorgensen joined an amazing panet of industry leaders from Mozilla and IBM to discuss the future of blockchain enterprise adoption.

Following that talk, Wyatt and Ryle gave an in-depth overview of Constellation’s technology and how we are improving and differentiating ourselves from legacy blockchain protocols. The reverberations from this presentation keep coming, with attendees from the conference continually getting in touch to find out more. While at our booth, we captured a series of short interviews with the wider team which you can view below. Stay tuned, as the panel and workshop videos will be shared next week.

As if TechCrunch wasn’t enough of a success, last week also marked the launch of our Ambassador program. We’ve seen a huge amount of press coverage and interest with applications rolling in. Check out our team’s interviews from TechCrunch below, and read on for further Ambassador program news and the regular engineering, product, and Airdrop updates.

Product Update

Features

- Built and released Metamask validator that checks whether a user is on version 4.9.2 and above on Chrome and Firefox. Users are asked to upgrade before going through any of our Metamask flows if they’re on an older version.
- Updated upgrade/downgrade and airdrop flows with new Metamask images reflecting the UI on 4.9.2+.
- Users can now link their Facebook account to Orion under Settings.
- We updated the Airdrop flow to support dynamic sign up. Users who have been airdropped 250 DAG are directed to join the Community tier while users with 1,000 DAG are directed to join the Developer tier.
- We officially launched Points to DAG (PTD) to the community. All users can use PTD including Orion members on the Free tier.
- We built a monitor that tracks ETH in the wallet that holds PTD DAG to ensure we always have enough gas for transactions.
- We built version 1 of the Smart contract and updated it to their repo. Work paused for now.


Engineering Update

- Peer authentication and banning flow updated for REST endpoints.
- Fixing bug in Actor dispatcher thread pool allocations. Added more separation boundaries between actors and futures.
- More refactoring of schema to incorporate new edge flow, more metadata added to DB.
- Updated genesis to add another distribution tip to pass validation.
- Work on balancing max graph width vs. the number of active tips.
- Safer database update models for multi-threading transaction handling support.
- Refactoring whole flow with new metrics collections and updating tests to reflect changes.
- Changing checkpoint validation logic to prevent excess recalculations, requires schema updates to DB metadata.
- Began migrating resolver from bundles to edges.

AirDrop 3 Announcment

AirDrop 3 is approaching. The next round of emails will be sent out on Tuesday, September the 18th, kick-starting the KYC process. Remember to complete your application by Friday the 21st. If successful, the tokens will be staked for access to the Orion Portal and released 6 months from the completed KYC date. You will not be able to sell your tokens prior. On that date, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access your staked tokens via Orion.

Ambassador Program

Earlier this week, we announced the Constellation Global Ambassador Network. The Ambassador Network is a global network of blockchain and crypto enthusiasts focused on creating strong word of mouth networks and growing local communities for blockchain projects that align with Constellation’s core mission — to advance the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology in a way that is truly decentralized and open to all. Here’s a quote from one of our first ambassadors, Ray Rehito Hatoyama:

“In 5 years, I believe blockchain will become the core technology for innovation, and I believe in Constellation Labs's vision to bring decentralized technology to the next level. I saw an ambitious dream in Constellation. Constellation will take a big role of upgrading blockchain technology to a universal common language, and thus enhancing global connectivity, such as internet and mobile, that shaped the world to how it is today. I'm happy to be an Ambassador of Constellation Labs, helping to continue to propel innovation, together.” - Constellation Ambassador and former Hello Kitty Managing Director, Ray Rehito Hatoyama

In addition to Hatoyama, early Constellation Ambassadors include Sebastian Spitzer, New Business Specialist at REHAU; Ratul Saha, Founder of GetonChain; Julian Jung, Co-founder, and Partner of Game Theory Crypto Group; and Jacob Mullins, Partner at Shasta Ventures.

Engineering Update - Partitioning with Altif and Wyatt
watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC36hqZFXl8&

I saw that the founder Brendan Playford, the CEO & Founder of Constellation $DAG as left the project and I logically ask on telegram the reasons. This earned me an immediate ban.

I do not say it's a scam, but I have seen these methods of responding with banns only in shitcoins or scam projects.

The community is also very virulent, one of the worst I've ever seen...

Their only argument that they concluded a “deal” with Air Force, but advertisements and partnerships make not everything, like UnionPay with HPB or the British islands with LIFE, it does not prevent the project from dying.

But watch out with this "deal" they just joined a program like many other startups https://www.afsbirsttr.af.mil/

The news is oversold by the team, but the market never lies. It would be the partnership of the century but the project remains in microcap and this from years...

Personally, I prefer to remove everything from this project, too many redflags, we have no transparency on the team and the methods are worthy of dictator communism

I'll let you ask the question or make your own opinion or argue here.
