Title: 2018 Historia Year in Review Post by: ChrisTaylor on January 29, 2019, 06:04:40 AM The Historia Team has been asked to share more technical details of where we are going, as well as answer a few questions concerning what type of content should be submitted. In this post we will discuss and outline future research, community questions, and a few fun ideas that are “far out” there to say the least. This is our vision.
Technical The following is a list of on-going research ordered by descending priority for 2019. It should be noted that the Historia Team is in the research phase and make no promises that all of the below functionality will make it into the final product. As always, the Historia Team looks forward to hearing community feedback.
b. Collateral – Currently the collateral is 100 HTA to run a masternode. Many have questioned the logic of this decision. Because of the previously mentioned Spilt Masternode Sytem we can have masternodes running with 100 HTA collateral, as well as masternodes with 1000 or 10000 HTA required for collateral. Currently, we do not have a specific number of coins that will be required for collateral, but it will be at least 1000 HTA for the next level of masternodes. Buy them now while they are still cheap! c. IPFS – Currently IPFS is required to run a masternode, but if IPFS is not running, the masternode is not penalized. This will change as we further integrate IPFS into the Historia network. In the future if IPFS is not running 99% of the time, your masternode will not be paid. We will release some further instructions on how to keep IPFS running 100% of the time. 1. It should also be noted that the Historia team will be removing the requirements for the 100 HTA collateralized masternode to run IPFS and only those with higher collateral will be required to run IPFS with the masternode system. 2. Finally, the higher level collateralized masternodes will be required to run IPFS 99% of the time, support both IPv4 and IPv6, and run the IPFS web UI over HTTPS. This will allow for record access in a decentralized manner, without a reader of the records having to download the wallet.
a. The 100 HTA collateralized masternodes rewards increases will be at a lower priority that the higher level collateralized nodes. We are now considering these mostly as “voting” nodes, and not content distribution nodes. b. The higher level collateralized masternodes reward increases will be at a higher level priority where there will be an increase in rewards to meet the demand. These will be content distribution nodes, and it is important to have as many as these as possible.
a. Enforce InstantSend over a certain amount of coins being moved. This helps to prevent against 51% attacks b. Raise the InstantSend fees per transaction, to further help support the masternode owners.
a. A user must have a certain number of coins for collateral. This will probably be around the cost of a low level masternode. b. A user must register his coins to a specific wallet address. Once this specific wallet is registered and the collateral has been sent, this wallet will always having voting rights. No refunds. c. The collateral will not be burnt, however redirected and redistributed to the masternodes. Community Questions A few questions have been brought up from our community that should be addressed. What kind of events could be called “historic events”? – Ultimately, it’s the network owners that choose. It should be mentioned that the Historia team does NOT control what will get approved as a record that will be permanently and immutably stored. We can only suggest what we would like to see. For our use case, we believe it best to have current events, as there will be more evidence to prove it as fact. Do older events that happen qualify or only current events? – If there is enough evidence to support something that happened 50 years ago, and the network owners want this to be permanently included in the record, then it will be added to the permanent record. Can the Historia team or community, add existing historical events from existing sources? – Yes definitely, however as with all records there has to be the appropriate evidence. Taking this topic further, in the web GUI the Historia team can see archive tools being implemented that will make it easy to import information from other sources. If there are further questions that the community would like to see addressed in a blog post, please reach out to us on discord, or email them directly to info@historia.network. “Far Out” Ideas The Historia Team wanted to share the very long-term vision with the community. It should be noted that we are attempting to build this project as a multi-generational project. Our success or failure will not be judged within our lifetime. As such, we need to come up with ideas now to help secure the historical record in the future. Of course, most of these scenarios require Historia to be successful from a monetary perspective. As the coin gains popularity, it is the intent of the Historia team to secure the hardware that stores the growing Historia blockchain by employing duplicate copies in multiple secure locations. In a catastrophic event, the destruction of 99% of masternodes will not mean any loss of Historia content. This would ultimately require storage in the least accessible locations. These include the following ideas:
