Title: [ANN] Shardus - the foundation for global scale decentralized applications Post by: ulcproject on June 04, 2018, 05:20:30 PM Edited to reflect the rebranding from Unblock Ledger to Shardus.
The Shardus Project https://shardus.com The Shardus Project is building the distributed ledger technology to enable global scale decentralized networks. Any developer will be able to fork the Shardus software and modify the transaction layer to create the node software to easily launch a new network. The first network to use this technology will be a payment network and coin called Liberdus. Main Features of Shardus Technology
Main Features of Liberdus
Abstract The future of blockchain and distributed ledger technology holds enormous promise for radically transforming many of the current trust-based systems and services, as well as impacting just about every industry in the world. However, the delivery of this promise hinges upon the creation of infrastructure software that implements fast, efficient, trustless, secure and highly scalable peer-to-peer networks. The state-of-the-art is currently experimenting with different models of achieving greater scalability and efficient consensus in such networks. The Shardus project will showcase novel distributed ledger technology that creates a self-governing, sustainable, peer-to-peer payment network which incorporates sharding and auto-scaling to provide high throughput, low latency, and immediate finality while maintaining the highest level of decentralization and security possible. The availability of such technology will be useful not only to private enterprises, but also to public ledgers, thus enabling global-scale, decentralized applications able to accommodate billions of daily active users. About Shardus The Shardus Project is a unique code base, and not a fork of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other code. It utilizes many novel technologies not found in any other blockchain project. Any developer will be able to fork and modify the Shardus software to create a new network. Project website: https://shardus.com White paper here: https://shardus.com/Shardus_Whitepaper_20180816.pdf Wiki site here: https://github.com/Shardus/shardus.github.io/wiki FAQ here: https://shardus.com/#faq About Liberdus When the Shardus software is complete, the Shardus developers will fork it to create the Liberdus network. Anyone will be able to download the Liberdus node software and run a Validators to participate on the Liberdus network. Since the consensus is energy-efficient, inexpensive off the shelf computers can be used as Validators to earn Liberdus coins on a daily basis. The Liberdus network will showcase how the Shardus technology can be used to launch a new network so that any developer can use also launch a new network for their own coin or other dApp needing high scalability. No ICO Unlike many projects that are funded through selling of tokens to investors, Shardus does not rely on an ICO. Instead, the project provides incentive for developer and community-building contributions. Developers can earn tokens for contributing time and effort to the project and there are bounties for specific community-building tasks. The project will uses an ERC-20 token (symbol ULT) to incentivize and track contributions to the project.The ULT represents ones ownership of the Shardus technology and ULT holders will benefit when the Shardus software is used to create public or private networks. ULT holders will receive Liberdus coins for each ULT when the Liberdus main network goes live. Other networks which use the Shardus software will also give at least 1% of their initial coins to the ULT holders. Private enterprises that use the Shardus software will need to obtain a license token by burning approximately $10,000 USD of ULT. Check the Token and Bounty sections of the website for complete details. The amount of ULT distributed each month is posted in the Wiki section of the website and the project expects to complete by mid 2020 and distribute less than $5 million of ULT. Obtain Tokens If you want to obtain the ULT tokens there are several options:
Join Us If you are a Node.js, Rust, Go or Haskell developer please consider joining our project. We are currently adding more core developers. Skilled developers are invited to qualify through our online tests. Please fill out the form in the Join section of the website if you would like to be considered. https://shardus.com/#join Background Omar Syed (username omar on bitcoinTalk), a systems scaling specialist has worked at NASA, Yahoo and Zynga helping to architect production systems with millions of daily active users. In 2011 he stumbled upon bitcoin while searching the web for Digicash. He immediately began telling everyone he could about bitcoin. He also began experimenting with other consensus algorithms which could be more efficient and scalable. In 2016 Omar left consulting for mobile game companies and began writing the specifications for the Shardus Consensus Algorithm and the Shardus Ledger which laid the foundation for this project. https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarsyed1/ Community Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShardusLedger YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DQu61lxOvicMi0VsSIAtA Medium: https://medium.com/@Shardus Steemit: https://steemit.com/@Shardus Telegram: https://t.me/shardus Telegram: https://t.me/shardusnews Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/Shardus GitHub: https://github.com/Shardus GitLab: https://gitlab.com/Shardus Title: Re: [ANN] ULC Project | Blockless, Sharded DLT Platform Post by: RickyCardero on June 04, 2018, 07:02:50 PM your project looks really interesting.
you wrote, you don't have ICO, so how people can get you token? only when, it will listening on exchanges?

Yes, there is no ICO. We are looking for good devs, so please consider joining our team and you can earn tokens that way. Also if you know of good devs and you help us find them you can earn tokens that way. See the bounties listed here: https://github.com/ULCproject/ulcproject.github.io/issues If you have something else in mind that you can help the project with, please let us know. If it sounds good, we can offer you a bounty for it. Title: Re: [ANN] ULC Project | Blockless, Sharded DLT Platform Post by: ulcproject on June 04, 2018, 08:10:15 PM Italian translation reserved if you need it Sounds good. We can offer you a bounty of 500 ULT for doing this ($50 USD since each ULT is valued at $0.10). Title: Re: [ANN] ULC Project | Blockless, Sharded DLT Platform Post by: ulcproject on July 20, 2018, 12:19:26 AM The ULCProject.com token ULT was listed on Bancor.network today. Bancore provides one of the most easiest interface to convert between ULT and ETH or any other token such as DAI.

and this ANN was created back on June 4th. Twitter is more active as far as I can see Title: Re: [ANN] Shardus - the foundation for global scale decentralized applications Post by: fraazi on August 08, 2019, 08:58:16 PM We're considering putting cash into different crypro projects. When were you developing the project guys? You got investors on board?
