Congratulation !

Wish you very happy trading !

Giantcoin (GIC) about to get listed on https://mnode.club/.

As time goes on the GIANT project gets more and more attention.

Very soon we are publishing the WP, so you could learn about our plans and why GIANT will become a mass product.
Before demand skyrocketed you can buy the GIANT MN for a very convenient price, so don't miss your chance.

~

are you related to this project ??

Are not . I'm just a news messenger to the community

With current factors in Giantcoin network, each MN investors can earn about $600 per month, that means they might get their capital back and a half of those capital as real profits after only one month.
https://masternodes.online/currencies/GIC/

Today, over 35% of total current circulating supply locked in 142 active masternodes.
https://masternodes.online/currencies/GIC/
And each month, one Giantcoin masternode can get about $1.1k from masternode operations.

Dear Giant users!

It seems like once again we faced attempt to attack the network or competition between pools is becoming enormous. Today we had 52 Orphans on the Giant official pool. We made a decision to cover your losses this time. Please, send your GIC addresses to Giant_admin_rus.
Transaction will be made based on the each miner' percent of the block 20672, which preceded Orphans, extrapolated for 52 blocks.

Please be warned that such supportive measure won't happen again. Orphan is a casual event in mining, so by doing it you accept all the risks.

Dear users!
Our team apologises for the absence of a moderator on the Giant branch.
We ask everyone who participated in the Giant signature campaign to contact the administration of the Giant:
Discord: https://discord.gg/wFBmkJD (fastest way of communication) PM to Giant_admin_rus
Bitcointalk: PM toGiant User

Giant company always fulfils its obligations.
We would like to inform that on Monday a new moderator will join our branch and he will be available daily from Monday to Friday.
All the news about our project will also now be broadcast on the Bitcointalk branch!

Thank you for your attention!

Dear Giant Users!

We are glad to announce that we got closer to our main goal, which is creation of [Suspicious link removed]bined with Giant smart contracts, that Giant.exchange is going to be based on.
We are confident that it will provide various features for betting industry and options trading.

The date of the Giant.exchange launch is set on 10/01/18!

We need to know that you want Giant.exchange as we do, so we announce pre-registration of users of Giant.exchange.
Everyone who will register will have a chance to win 100 GIC!

See you on Giant.exchange!
https://giant.exchange

Hope that GiantCoin team will keep all their promises for customers, investors, supporters.
It might become a terrible scenario for the project if investors, supporters lose their faith in the project one more time.

Great news!

The Giant team has grown by 2 more people!
We are glad to present to you:
Dmitry - our BlockchainDev. Dmitry is our second Blockchain developer and he performs the work with the test network and tests the operation of the GiantContracts.
Grigor - our SMM manager. He is engaged in the promotion of the Giant on social networks, forums and advertising platforms. With the questions concerning advertising and cooperation, please contact Grigor.

We also draw the attention of our investors that in the near future, we are starting the implementation of the enhanced advertising campaign of our project, which will certainly lead to the emergence of new investors and to the growth of the GIC demand. We hope that you will consider this during the participation in the following transactions.
To cover additional costs such as the salary of new employees and the launch of an advertising campaign, our team decided to increase our GIC masternode portfolio by withdrawing a part of the premine.
We declare publicly that 22 953 GIC will be withdrawn from the premine to launch new masternodes. Please note that these funds will not go to the auction, and will remain the coin locked status.

We wish you all successful deals with perhaps the best digital asset of this year!

Hello, dev.
Does Giantcoin wallet supports IPV6 addressing? Can I start masternode on IPV6 address? I can't find this information in technical details.

Dear friends!
We wish to note the significant changes in the market situation and the recent positive GIC price trends!
Moreover, we expect further growth in demand for the GIC anytime soon, since we are launching advertising campaigns. We utilize a variety of marketing tools, such as SMM, Articles, Emails, SEM, and others, to generate additional traffic in terms of the new users and investors!
We wish you successful deals with the new customers!
Stay with us!

In the light of launching advertising campaigns, do you plan to start any bounties campaign? TW, FB, signatures?

Giantcoin team released very transparent workflow checklist using Trello platform.
Thank you, @GiantUser and all members of Giantcoin team.

Dear users!
We are glad to announce that one more technical task from the Sprint 3 is finished.
We have extended the giant-cli interface in order to get the data on:
-an average time of the block presence
-a reward of a last block found in the network

The update is already available on Github and will be included in the upcoming Giant wallet release.
https://github.com/GiantPay/GiantCore/commit/be0a8bf7945c2d217c47378340d36648b1321539

This update is necessary for the following work on a modernization of the Giant network.
Follow our Github updates and click us on the "Stars"!:grinning:
Also follow our tasks execution in Trello: https://trello.com/b/3QPfSlfL

Recently, most of tier coins which have automatic adjusted collateral.
Will GiantCoin team implement tier collateral for Masternode investors?
This sort of collateral will help maintaining ROI for investors.

I expect your idea runs happily.
Good job, aesthetic design.  Good luck team.

I propose the GiantCoin team to make regular reports on progresses of the project.
Those sort of periodic reports might be for weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

To be honest, I spent around half a hour to read articles on Medium and Steemit channels.
They are very well-written, detailed, valuable, and very very helpful.
Many thanks to GiantCoin team.

The Giant project aims to introduce innovative solution of the trust issues that are present among binary options exchanges and other betting services. Giant applies blockchain and smart contract technologies for self-regulation of digital assets used for “smart betting” in a decentralized network.

https://i.imgur.com/FiCVi0j.png

Digital assets are programmable assets that exist in the form of electronic data. With
blockchain technology, the digitization of assets can be decentralized, trustful, traceable, highly transparent, and free of intermediaries. On the Giant blockchain, users are able to register, trade, and circulate single type of assets - Giant Coin (GIC).

Giant has two forms of digital assets: global assets and contract assets. Global assets can be recorded in the system space and can be identified by all smart contracts and clients. Contract assets are recorded in the private storage area of the smart contract and require a compatible client to recognize them. Contract assets can adhere to certain standards in order to achieve compatibility with most clients.

https://i.imgur.com/Lggff6E.png

● Name (Ticker): Giant coin (GIC)
● Type: POW + POS + MASTERNODE
● POW Algorithm: Quark
● Block Time: 120 seconds
● Difficulty Retarget: DGW v3.0 Every block
● Mined/Minted Maturity: 101
● Max Coin Supply: 5151000 POW Phase + Infinity POS Phase
● Premine: 3.88% of POW
● Masternode Collateral Price: 1000 GIC
● P2P Port: 40444
● RPC Port: 41444

https://i.imgur.com/qSoQMUy.png

Ecosystem is vital for the open source community. In order to achieve the goal of an intelligent economic network, Giant will be committed to the development of its ecosystem, providing mature development tools, improving development of documents. We plan to support the following Giant-based applications and ecology and to reward improvements of the processes:

● Node Program
○ A fully functioning Full node PC program
○ Web / Android / iOS clients that do not need to synchronize with the blockchain
● Giant Network site
● Blockchain Explorer
● SDK Development Kit
○ Support JavaScript
● Smart Contract Compiler and IDE Plugin
○ JavaScript / TypeScript
● Decentralized Applications
○ Giant.Exchange

The Masternode Reward depends on the phase and number of enabled Masternodes in the network. In general, payments for a standard day for running a Masternode can be calculated by using the following formula:

( n / t ) * r * b * a

Where:

n is the number of Masternodes an operator controls
t is the total number of Masternodes
r is the current block reward
b is blocks in an average day. For the Giant network this usually is 720.
a is the average Masternode payment (80% of the average block amount)

Return on investment for running a Masternode can be calculated as

(( n / t ) * r * b * a * 365) / 1000

Where variables are the same as above

https://i.imgur.com/eWK2Y62.jpg

As you can see the GIC supply is designed for fast accumulation of Masternodes in the Network during the first years. By that time we can ensure the speed of transactions once the Giant based projects start.


https://i.imgur.com/cvpRVsz.png

Giant has a single native token, Giant Coin (abbreviated symbol GIC). GIC emission is unlimited, but the reward for a block is regulated depending on the block height. At the beginning, the emission curve is designed for the rapid growth of the network, while further, the number of issued coins will decrease. The decrease will occur both due to the reduction of the fee for a block, and due to burning of the transaction fees. Burning of the transaction fees is an important element of the Giant network, since the fee is required to create a transaction and to execute the smart contract. Burning of the fees in the Giant network provides a long-term effect by increasing the value of GIC and by eliminating the problem of transaction spam.

Giant Management Model The emission of Giant is divided into two phases: 1. the POW phase (appx. 1 year) 2. the POS phase (all subsequent time) A key element of the Giant economy is the Giant masternodes. Masternode is a full node of the Giant network that is associated with a frozen collateral of GIC on the account of the masternode owner. By helping to scale and to validate the Giant network, the owner of the masternode receives the following options:

● Payment of 80% of rewards from a block
● Ability to create smart contracts in the Giant network
● Opportunity to participate in building the future of the Giant network through voting, where 1 vote equals 1 masternode


Distribution of Premine

200,000 GIC Premine (3.88% of the POW phase) is reserved for the following purposes:
● 6000 GIC - to create the first 6 masternodes that stabilize the Giant network
● 44000 GIC - to have bounty programs and airdrops
● 50000 GIC - marketing budget for the promotion of the Giant network and Giant-based applications (Giant.Exchange, etc)
● 100000 GIC - motivation of developers for the development of the Giant network and its ecosystem


https://i.imgur.com/yKmN5ha.png

Decentralized and self-financing governance system of the Giant empowers the community to steer the direction of Giant. This system allows anyone to make a governance proposal using https://proposal.giantpay.network. Proposals get votes from masternodes that direct the future of the currency and projects. Initially the Giant block reward allocates 0% into a community-governed Treasury Fund. In the future, after the implementation of the features planned for 2018, the community will decide what percentage of the reward block will go to the Treasury Fund. This fund will be fully open to audit by the public, providing assurance of the fund’s intended use.

Blockchain technology provides us with a decentralized, tamper-resistant, highly reliable system in which smart contracts are very useful. Giant has an independent smart contract system: GiantContract. The GiantContract smart contract system is the biggest feature of the seamless integration of the existing developer ecosystem. Developers do not need to learn a new programming language but use Javascript (Java and C # in the future) in their familiar IDE environments for smart contract development, debugging and compilation. Giant’s Universal Lightweight Virtual Machine, GiantVM, has the advantages of high certainty, high concurrency, and high scalability. The GiantContract smart contract system will allow millions of developers around the world to quickly carry out the development of smart contracts. GiantContract will have a separate white paper describing the implementation details.

The GIANT’ smart contract system consists of two parts:
 
GiantVM - Universal Block Chain Virtual Machine:
GiantVM is a lightweight, general-purpose virtual machine whose architecture is based on Javascript V8 engine, that reads and executes instructions in the contract in sequence, performs process control based on the functionality of the instruction operations, logic operations and so on. It has a good start-up speed and versatility, is very suitable for programs such as smart contracts, can also be ported to non-blockchain systems, or integrated with the IDE to provide an optimal development experience.

Software Development Kit - Compiler and IDE plugin:
DevPack includes the high-level language compiler and the IDE plug-in. As GiantVM' architecture is based on Javascript engine, the compilers in DevPack can compile Javascript code into GiantVM's instruction set. Developers do not need to learn new languages and will be able to immediately start developing smart contracts in any Javascript IDE. This greatly reduces the learning curve for developing smart contracts, allowing us to easily build a vibrant community around GiantContract. The first implementation of the API for smart contracts will focus on the issues of implementing smart bets, but in the future, smart contracts in the Giant network will be increasingly universal.

https://i.imgur.com/3fQt3MV.png

This project would not be possible without the previous work of the Bitcoin and Dash development teams. We appreciate their efforts greatly. We are excited to belong to an open source community and appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this growing technological field.

Cryptocurrency investments are exposed to high risk. Before using any cryptocurrency, it is important to consider the nature, complexity and risk. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. It is important not to use coins without taking into account the possible loss, since the price of these currencies is highly volatile and the Giant team is unable to regulate market-defined prices. We strongly suggest seeking advice from your own financial, investment, tax, or legal adviser. The Giant Development Team will always act in good faith and is not liable for the use of Giant by other community members, people or institutions.

Centralized binary option companies have been known for manipulation of the price feed in their favor, holding their funds and suspending accounts when payout is to be proceeded In this way, traders are playing an unfair game. So traders may win a bet but lose their money. Giant.Exchange aims to build an independent and decentralized platform for the binary options industry based on the Giant blockchain. Traders on the Giant.Exchange receive:

● P2P trades - Traders bet against Bankrollers (the same traders who create a smart bet contract), Giant.Exchange does not receive a share of profit as traditional platforms do.
● Guaranteed Payout - Payments are made by the smart contract directly to traders’ GIC address. No one can block withdrawals.
● 100% Transparency and Provably Fair by getting assets price on blockchain. Therefore cheating by manipulation of price feed is impossible.

We create 100% on-chain system, as we believe the foundations of the Giant blockchain are solid and can support a high user-friendly Dapp.

We do not bet against traders but provide a large catalog of assets and create marketplace by letting bankrollers (masternode owners) create varied asset contracts by themselves on our platform, e.g. 1 minute BTC/USD, 5 minutes BTC/ETH etc..

Giant.Exchange will have a separate white paper that describes the features and technological aspects.

Giant is a distributed network that combines digital assets, smart contracts and masternodes. The Giant system will use many original technologies, as the infrastructure for the Smart Bets.

Giant Coin (GIC) as a single mean of payment of Giant based projects is capable of becoming mass used among users of Giant based projects and investors running Masternodes.

Hello Giant Team,

First of all congratulations for all the effort with this project.

Do you plan to create a video-tutorial (guide) to install many MNs in a single VPS?

The guide in GIT is not fully explicit, I could not understand everything. We would like to see a guide to install many MNs in a single VPS. 
Same for installing a MN with IPV5 address.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate all the update you give us.

Great new !

As time goes by we achieved one more significant milestone, which is listing on coinmarketcap.com that has to proceed in few days according to a positive response from the CMC team. We hope that this website which is a source of information on crypto for a great number of investors can draw additional attention to the Giant project. We are confident that this is just a matter of time before people can recognize uniqueness of the Giant technology! Meanwhile we continue working on new design in order to introduce Giant to new investors the way it deserves. Stay tuned!

Good news!
However, I doubt that how GiantCoin can satisfy minimum daily volume from Coinmarketcap.com to ask for listing there.
Can you explain a bit, please.

Dear users and investors of Giant!
In less than 24 hours, we've got over 50% of votes for the early move to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model.
This means that we are taking this responsibility and making a public announcement:
The Giant blockchain devs will replace PoW with PoS by updating the network's consensys already in the early September 2018!
We hope that you, too, share all our arguments for this measure published in the article called Proof-of-Stake, explained.
Giant is on the right track not without the help of our wonderful community! We are Giant!

I don't see the bonus hunt campaign in this project? If so, can I ask for reliable sources to find out? Thank you.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

My MN is not synchronizing with the network anymore. Now it has 31 hours out of sync.... and not moving. I have added the above mentioned nodes.... but no success.

carefully deceived. GIC does not seem to ask or recommend you to transfer money and share your private key. We should note suspicious posts. They are taking advantage of the GIC's development to appropriating people's assets, perhaps. Join ico on the main website of the project so you are protected with your investment !!!

For those in the unlucky situation of being stuck on a split chain and having a wallet that is not syncing and masternode that is not enabled:

On both the wallet computer and the vps hosting the masternode, go to the .giant/ directory and delete everything except
    

• wallet.dat (NEVER delete this)
• archive
• masternode.conf
• giant.conf

After that, restart the wallet and your masternode and wait for an hour or so for them to sync.

After that, I got rid of the syching issues.

@Giant developers: you are such a let-down when it comes to helping people here. Shame on you.

I am sorry to hear that. We'll certainly be more accesible here in BTT. Nonetheless, let me encourage you to join our Discord, where you can get help 24/7 and participate in voting and discussion of seriuos decisions regarding the project' future.

Trust me, I'd love to, but I have a full job and a family and I simply cannot follow a Slack or Discord. Asynchronous communication without too much fluff is my only chance to keep up with a project. That's why bitcointalk is so important for me (even though it is really bad, full of spam).

You could guys like me a real favor if someone would do weekly status updates and read up on problems - especially in times where new versions get pushed, and even more so if radical changes are implemented.

Thanks.

I don't get it....no more mining or?

As I could see in the OP it supposed to be until block 200 000 and something?

Hello, can I have masternode setup for Windows ?

Thanks,

Dear friends! We don't stop making Giant steps in development of Giant.Exchange. Recently you could notice that the oracle page became available. You can get a glimpse of it via https://beta.giant.exchange/trading#
There are basic features related to Oracle smart contracts.
The commit is available in our Github
https://github.com/GiantPay/GiantExchange

Don't forget that Giant.Exchange is just the first use case of the Giant blockchain. Pretty soon we will publish an article that answers such questions and possibly expands your understanding of the Giant Project! Stay tuned!

Dear friends! Even though Giant.Exchange is our main focus as of now we encourage you not to forget that Giant is a technology first. We answered popular questions and clarified foundations of the Giant Project. We highly recommend you to read the article and to understand the whole scope.

Dear friends! Our team continues to solve tasks connected with the introduction of smart contracts in the Giant blockchain.
Currently, we are working on the command line interface (Giant CLI) upgrade which will add the methods of engagement with smart contracts.

The CLI must provide easy and comprehensive methods to work with smart contracts, namely:
• smart contracts deploy
• smart contracts method calls
• smart contracts info display
In particular, the following methods are being developed:
POST contractDeploy
Creates a transaction which deploys a smart contract and uploads it into the mempool
POST contractCall
Calls the smart conract method, and it can be both readonly which allows to call a smart contract for free without making any changes in the blockchain, and readonly=false which will create a new transaction
GET contractAddress
Returns the smart contract address with the use of transaction hash
GET contractInfo calculateProperties?callReadonlyMethods?
Returns the smart contract info with the use of its address

Good day,

I have allowed myself to write a manual for the Masternodes in German, because not everyone understands the English manual.

Please note that this manual is not official and I do not belong to the team of the project. Please take a look first at the original instructions of the project - many thanks for your attention.

Guten Tag,

ich habe mir erlaubt eine Anleitung für die Masternodes auf Deutsch zu verfassen, da nicht umbedint jeder die Englische Anleitung versteht.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Anleitung nicht offiziell ist und ich nicht zum Team des Projektes gehöre. Schauen Sie sich bitte zuerst die Originale Anleitung des Projektes an - vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.

Why you do not published information about launch Giant.Exchange? Its postponed? What the reason?

Nonetheless, we regret to inform you that, despite all the considerable efforts of the team, the release of Giant.Exchange Beta is postponed. The primary reason is that smart contracts are still not in the main network of Giant. We are working hard every day but Giant Contracts still cannot be called fully ready for introduction.

How about listing fee on your exchange?
Will the exchange have Community Vote campaign which gives free listings for top winners?

Dear users!
Finally Giant has a brand new website our project truly deserves. We did our best trying to create structure that stresses all the major points and competitive advantages of the Giant blockchain. The main challenge was to combine usability plus design. We have a lot to show but want to avoid excess of the information. Infographics with short description linked with an explanatory article seems to be a perfect solution. Enjoy the website and let us know what you think!

Cool team at this coin! Such an informative site done, bravo! Everything is written correctly and without errors. Just did not find the masternodes verification page. At the $PAC coin you can see the queue number of the masternodes and how long to wait for the reward. If you do this, everyone will be delighted!
The team worked very well. By what site, you can talk about the team. Perspective or not. Now there is confidence that the roadmap will be realized! Sooner or later, everything will be done. Good luck, guys!

Dear users! This thread is no more relevant.
New thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5046673.0
In addition to one of the most informative cryptocurrency websites on the market, we have made a new thread on BitcoinTalk. Now you can have a better comprehension on the scale of our technology. Extensive information disclosure is what makes Giant unique in comparison to other crypto projects. We hope that you will have an interest towards our materials and invest some time in looking through them. If you know other means to expand our community through BitcoinTalk, feel free to contact me.
