Title: Ghost by McAfee
Post by: Silber on May 16, 2020, 01:09:14 AM
John McAfee will start his own PoS privacy Coin. I'm glad that the Whitpaper isn`t a FotoStory of John eating his johnson.


Her are some Information from the Whitpaper and Litepaper:

Quote
Masternode: 20`000

Total Supply: ​55,000,000
At May 25, 2020: 13,573,415 GHOST (InitialSupply)
By June 2022: 15,087,292 GHOST
By June 2040: 30,226,069 GHOST

The remaining supply of G​HOST​ coins will be allocated towards masternodes, proof of stake rewards, and future development over time.

Block size:​ 2 MB
Block Time:​ 60 Seconds (Re-targeting every block)
Coin Emission Rate:​ Max. 6 GHOST per block (Always less due to burnt fees & unused treasury). 3 GHOST are allocated as staking/masternode rewards, 2 GHOST are split between stakers, 1 into a pool for future development.
Coin Supply Control: ​ALL transaction & zGHOST minting fees are burnt from coin supply.

PoS Stake Eligibility
Minimum Input Age: 60 blocks
Reward Maturity Confirms: 101 confirms
Wallet Status: Requires wallet to be kept running & online.
Transaction Send Eligibility
Minimum Confirm: 6 confirms
SwiftX Eligibility
1 confirm for locking and 6 confirm to spend. Collateral held for 15 blocks.

Privacy Technology:​ Custom zk-SNARKs ZcashSapling
Key Features:​ Custom accumulator check-pointing system Accumulator Modulus:​ RSA-2048
zGHOST Denominators:​ 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 Mint time:​ >= 0.5 seconds
Spend time:​ >= 2.5 seconds
Maximum single Spend limit​: 35,000 GHOST
Maximum single Spend denomination count limit:​ 7 Fees (mint)​: 0.01 GHOST per minted zGHOST denomination. Fees (spend)​: No fee to spend zGHOST back to GHOST.


GHOST​ is a decentralized Proof-Of-Stake (PoS) network controlled by GHOST coin holders and masternode operators. G​HOST has no central company or owner.​ The direction of the coin, development, and strategic decisions are voted on by masternode operators.


25% (13,750,000 GHOST) of the GHOST supply will be distributed to ESH token holders upon launch on May 25th. The exact amount that will be awarded to each token holder will be a percentage of their ESH holdings against the total ESH supply.

GHOST​ coins will automatically be sent to the wallet addresses that are holding ESH tokens on M​ay 25th.​ A global “snapshot”, a total count of all the wallets holding ESH will be taken before GHOST launch. I​t is highly recommended​, a requirement to an extent, that your ESH tokens are held, and stored in a wallet fully under your control. If your ESH tokens are in an exchangeit’shighlylikelythatyouwilln​ ot​receiveGHOST.

At the moment the highest ESH Token trade volume is on Idex: https://idex.market/eth/esh (https://idex.market/eth/esh)

I'm thinking that McAffe will pump the shit out of his coin. Before the Whitepaper was issued, there were many meme about Ghost on 4chan and McAfee hasn't begun to shilling his coin at that time. The tech behind this coin isn't the big thing, it`s about the Name McAfee and McAfee`s Shilling ability. McAfee has street cred when it comes to privacy - and that is imported for a privacy coin. So this coin could go to the moon.

Right after the big pump, how much people jumped into it thinking about the pump? So Mcafee is doing the same thing as Craig wright, those guys are becoming a joke.

I read Mcafee's interview, I wonder why his team didn't make a new Whitepaper. However, the swich coin price is stable for the moment.

After such verbal skirmishes on Twitter with PIVX whom only the blind did not see, and all this was commented on by other media, her success is guaranteed (at least for a short time). Maybe this was all done intentionally? good move John!

My Friends - Omar's Crypto Bazaar welcomes GHOST by McAfee.  Welcome, by all means welcome...


If they are looking to launch their coin but have not made an ANN here on BitCoinTalk, then I urge you one and all to come to Omar's Crypto Bazaar and trade one-on-one with like minded people amongst the various Cornerstones of the Bazaar.  There are no fees to trade, but we urge you to trade with an Escrow - links to the Bitcointalk Escrows can be found pined in our Discord channel https://discord.gg/MBc62Wd

If you are a Dev then we can have a quiet chat about adding your coin to our Bazaar - for a modest few Shekels I assure you.  Gather the crowd to fund your place in the Cornerstones of the Bazaar, or just announce your trades to the masses.  One and all are most welcome!

I must go now, I fear there is a white ambulance parked outside and the (you-know-who) busters are powering up their power packs...

Post by: davis196 on May 23, 2020, 11:50:54 AM
This is going to be a pump&dump coin.If MsAfee wants a privacy coin,why doesn't he adopt Monero?
I wonder who is going to buy this GHOST coin and HODL it in the long term?
Are there any people,who actually trust John McAfee?
I respect John McAfee for one thing.He never tried to hardfork Bitcoin and to create a fake "Bitcoin insertanythingyouwant" altcoin like Bitcoin cash,Bitcoin gold,Bitcoin diamond,etc..
He just created his own altcoin,so I definitely respect him more than Rover Ver and "Faketoshi" Wright.


Title: Re: Ghost by McAfee
Post by: brrzzz on May 23, 2020, 04:42:15 PM
Yes, he himself has long been from all these developments (I read his twitter, today here, tomorrow there, just a traveler), he is just a media person, and it doesn’t matter what he says, the mass media will catch up. All these projects have been indifferent to him for a long time)


Title: Re: Ghost by McAfee
Post by: umbara ardian on May 23, 2020, 10:57:01 PM
Continuing is the new shitcoin coming from him. I still remember all the projects he promoted in previous years, most of them dead and out of action. So if someone wants to invest in this project then they need to research it carefully because it is likely to collapse in the future.

I didn't even think if mcafee earned million dollars as there was no a lot of icos have endorsed him to promote their icos in the past. Mcafee doesn't even wanna waste a few dollars for that. He was a fucking garbage scammer and this token has already proven it. he is a stingy person lol  :D

Why is Ledger and other hardware Wallets not mentioned in the White Paper? Will the Hardware Wallets also receive the Ghost Airdrop?

ledger is a private wallet and you should be able to receive the ghost , all hardware wallet is private and will also get the airdrop, is mentioned on the whitepaper.

It seems that the Ghost ERC20 Token is already tradable on Uniswap:

Where did you check your Ghost Balance?

Did you take a look by using your Ethereum public key in etherscan.io or did you just look in your mew wallet?

In your mew wallet you must add manually a new token so that mew will show you such new token.

Title: Re: Ghost by McAfee
Post by: Silber on June 02, 2020, 10:45:56 AM
Did you invested in ghost tokens or you are waiting for the mainnet to invest into ghost , what your felling about it?

I bought 8`000 Ghost between 0.60$ and 2$ (for me Ghost is a speculation and not an investment). I hop that the mainnet will come otherwise there is no way to sell my Ghost for a higher price.

In the worst case scenario the mainnet will never come, McAfee fake his own death and the Ghost ERC20 Token will be delisted from the exchanges.

In the best case scenario the mainnet is a solid working system, that earns profit for the staking Holder and Masternod provider, and because of McAfee shilling ability the Ghost price will literally go to the moon, means a marcetcap beyond Moneros market cap during the last bullrun (7 Billion).

In my opinion it will bee somewhere between the worst case and the best case scenario. I hope that I can sell my Ghost between 8$ and 30$ in stages during the next bullrun.

And you?

    I think it is better to observe his actions from the outside, so it is safer (and fun).. given that this is a man of his word)) if said the made, if not made the still times said)))

   "Back in mid-2017, McAfee said that by 2020, the rate of the first cryptocurrency will grow to $500,000, and if this does not happen, he is ready to cut off and eat his own sexual organ. Later, he changed his forecast, saying that by this time bitcoin will be worth $1 million.

However, earlier this year, he retracted his words, saying that he only "drew attention" to the cryptocurrency market. Now, McAfee said that it was an absurd joke, his forecast was "nonsense", and people who believed in his words are idiots."  https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1266734176235126785?s=20


  what's to stop him from saying that you're all idiots who believed in Ghost, after something might go wrong with his plan?))

McAfee took the code from PIVX and the logo from NIX team. Guess its legit in crypto sphere to take over code from some team and lanch your very own taste of moon / shit coin. Did you noticed McAfee tatooed his arm with this GHOST logo ? I think, down to his ass there is still a lot of space for more coins logos to be created and chilled by McAfee.

LOL, what do you mean "real whitepaper"? You mean the second, non-plagiarized whitepaper?

Just ask yourself this: if a project can't be bothered to summarize the idea of their coin with their own words from the get-go, how much effort do you truly believe they are going to be putting into anything else? When caught, they used the same excuse that every other scam project that got caught with a plagiarized whitepaper uses: "Oh, we outsourced it to a 3rd party and had no idea..."  ::)

Obvious scam is obvious.

Sure, it will pump, and then it will dump, and then it will turn to dust. Just like every other crypto project McAfee has ever put his name behind. Apparently people still have faith that a 74 year-old con man will somehow develop something original out of a forked project, and that this time is going to be different.

Oy vey.

Crypto is a Clown World, it`s more about creating a huge hype about "the next big thing" than about serious work.

While I appreciate your honesty, you are completely wrong here. Crypto in itself is just a technology - it is not bad or good - it just is. The clowns in crypto insist on pretending crypto is a Clown World in order to justify their scammy behavior. Creating undue hype in order to market a scam is nothing new and has been done since the beginning of civilization.

OK, so instead of being a clone of Pivx its now a clone of Particl: still, absolutely nothing new or innovative being done here. There is some plagiarism happening in the new white paper but it isn't from Particle, its from Zcoin.

From the new Ghost white paper (https://www.ghostbymcafee.com/pdfs/Ghost_by_McAfee_Whitepaper.pdf) (copied words are bolded):

Quote
Usually, cryptocurrency transactions are broadcasted across the network using the Gossip protocol, in which every node sends the transaction to all the nodes, to which it is connected. While the current system is efficient, it is also possible to de-anonymize the original sender of the txs [Fan18]. Dandelion++ makes a simple but crucial change to the current transaction broadcasting pattern.

Instead of sending transactions to all connected nodes on the network, Dandelion++ initially sends them to only one other node. This next node then randomly decides if it Ghost, a peer-to-peer privacy-oriented electronic cash system broadcasts the transaction on to just one, or all of its connected peers. With the introduction of the element of chance, the propagation pattern now becomes unpredictable, making it infeasible to trace a specific transaction back to the original tx broadcaster’s IP address.

From zcoin.io (https://zcoin.io/plus-plus-privacy-zcoin-integrates-dandelion/):
Quote
Usually, the way that cryptocurrency transactions spread across the network is very predictable. While the current system is effective, it is also vulnerable to low-cost, large-scale deanonymization attacks. Dandelion++ makes a simple but crucial change to the previous broadcasting pattern.

Instead of sending transactions to all neighbors, Dandelion++ initially sends them to only one other node. This next node then rolls a dice to decide if it passes it on to just one or all of its neighbors. With the introduction of this element of chance, the propagation pattern now becomes unpredictable, making it infeasible to follow the transaction back to the sender.

This isn't plagiarism but it certainly is a lie:

Quote
Why Particl?

When Ghost was initially started, it was an unanimous decision from the development team to fork the codebase from this open source project . Further to their initial bitcoin fork, they have extended the functionality of their network in a direction that similarly aligned their goals with the ones Ghost has.

1. The initial idea was actually to clone Pivx and hope nobody would notice.
2. After getting caught, they just cloned a smaller project instead of bothering to create anything original.

This project has quite a few markings of a scam and if they had an official account on this forum I would probably tag & flag them.

Don't buy this bullshit unless you like losing money.

PIVX is a failure and the developers know it, they are just milking it.

Even the developer of pivx has already created its own fork coin for pivx called veil with a new mechanism but that's very sad to see the veil platforms have been getting hijacked due to the vulnerability that is being discovered by the hackers.

Maybe you don't but believe it or not the vast majority believe they do, the way I see it, people are into crypto for the quick profit thing, it is all about what can make 50% - 100% profit, not about the technology and certainly not about the originality behind the project,
Am sure those who bought GHOST are buying with the hope that it will pump insanely because of the person behind it,

McAfee is known for his flamboyant way of operating, people once believe in him, see him as the crypto lord... even though many people no longer have such believe..... still there are many who are hoping to make profit off him through this project once again. The market is already choked with repetitive projects.

McAfee is taking advantage of his fame, he knows that many people follow him and he knows that many people believe him, he will try to get the most economic benefit by launching copies of altcoins or doing whatever.

When time passes and it is shown that his project is a failure he will do what he has always done, say that it was some conspiracy by the government or that the aliens have abducted him.

To be fair, it's still super new and prices will vary heavily through the weeks. Losses aren't realized until you sell them against a fixed price or hedged asset, like USDT or to btc or something it trades against.

Dead cat bounce might happen but at this point, BTC is fluctuating and this fluctuation might lead to a further dump in the price. So if I were you I would be a bit careful.

There's still an address with 5% tokens so he might still be holding them.  Also in etherscan, one address shows to have around 77+% tokens is that the team's token? because 77% is a huge chunk of supply.

It's weird why people still wanna believe anything that McAfee says because he has proved time and time again that he promotes a project just for the money as soon as he runs away the project suffers badly. I learned that hard way by investing in his SETH.

I sold all my Ghost and that gave me a huge lost of ETH. There is a German saying "besser ein Ende mit Schrecken, als ein Schrecken ohne Ende"; that means: "better an end with horror, than an endless horror".  

I also asked myself: "would I buy Ghost today?" and the answer is "No!" so why should I keep a Token/Coin that I would not buy anymore...

The trading volume seems quite suspect to me. the two exchanges with the largest trading volume (together 90% oft the trading volume) have a low confidence of 15 on coinmarketcap. And the ratio between the market cap of Ghost and the daily trading volume ist very high. Maybe some wash-trading or something other devious behind this...

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ghost/markets/ (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ghost/markets/)

Before I bought Ghost I understood on a logical level why so many people hate McAfee, but now - after loosing a lot of ETH and a lot of Lifetime - I feel that hate towards McAfee and my own greed. It's time to listen to Eckharte Tolle to come back to the present, get ride of this negative emotion of my past, and finding inner peace again.

The troubles don't end there for John McAfee, as the SEC is suing the billionaire for his numerous declared supports for dubious cryptomoney schemes.

In this complaint filed in the Federal Court in New York, the SEC is accusing him of violating several U.S. securities laws. And not just a little! According to the document, McAfee received a huge payoff for promoting Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs):

"McAfee received more than $11.6 million worth of Bitcoins (BTC) and Ethers (ETH), plus an additional $11.5 million in promoted tokens, as undisclosed compensation for his promotions of seven ICOs. »

That's all well and good but McAfee has since pulled the plug on his involvement with this coin for almost a month now. Maybe he has residual holdings to pump but I doubt it. I think he's got more than enough on his plate to deal with for the time being. Ghost was probably the last case study of a McAfee pump job ever -- so it will go down in history for that. What a time to be alive.  ::)

Holy moly, that's wild.

Thanks for sharing... I did not expect things to come to an end this way.

There will be some great conspiracy theories to arise out of this, seeing as how Spain had just ruled he could be extradited to the U.S. hours earlier.

This quote says a lot about what he was capable of, after he was accused of killing his neighbor in Belize:

Quote
Then-Prime Minister Dean Barrow expressed doubts about McAfee’s mental state, saying, “I don’t want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers.”

https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2021-06-23/spanish-court-oks-extradition-of-mcafee-to-the-us

McAfee told Wired Magazine in 2012 that his father, a heavy drinker and “very unhappy man,” shot himself when McAfee was 15. “Every day I wake up with him,” he told Wired.

He lived for a time in Lexington, Tennessee, a rural town of about 7,800 some 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Memphis. In a 2015 interview with WBBJ-TV, McAfee said he only felt comfortable when armed. The TV station reported that he chose to be interviewed with a loaded gun in each hand.

“Very little gives me a feeling of being safe and more secure other than being armed in my bedroom with the door locked,” McAfee told the station.

Sounds like he was born with mental health problems that were most likely exacerbated by years of drug abuse.

His pinned tweet (https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1405178506712174593) makes it sound like he knew what was coming, and he's trying to absolve his associates of potential incriminations:

Quote
The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association.

I have nothing.

Yet, I regret nothing.

This would have been a great opportunity for him to say that being a swindling con artist is bad and we shouldn't do it in the name of having a society and the golden rule, but oh well.

Well one thing is for sure: no one can accuse him of being a pussy.

RIP John McAfee.

If he got Epsteined, does he really have any very valuable intel to be epsteined as well?

Didn't McAfee also claimed that he uncovered who the real Satoshi N. is as well?

Anyways, we'll never really know the real story why he was epsteined anyways....

RIP.

Whatever he was he was a clever fame hungry man. He tweeted that he would not kill himself, then killed himself. Knowing that the conspiracy theories will go on and on and hence his name will go on too. He was scared of going to the us and spending his remaining days in prison. He did kill himself imo but left it open so people speak of him.

BTW does anyone know how many coins McAfee holds? And did he dumped them already?
McAfee has/had 5% of the supply. I assume that McAfee sold it already, because at the last month the price was dumping (23 July the price was 1.67$).

5% of what Ghost coin or bitcoin? Nah McAfee likely doesnt know about the existence of this coin, why would he hold a stake? And seeing that McAfee antivirus is just as dumb as McAfee himself as it doesnt detect any vitrions at all, I guess doubts should be posted against the fact the McAfee's bitcoin price prediction is legit. Surely everything this guy says is fraud.

Ghost Development Update (October 2022)

For Q3, our developers continued to push out a number of developments and exceed milestones, with one deliverable that’s for the history books.

Automated Ghost Veteran Rewards

Our developers worked over time on this deliverable and pushed it to production on Saturday, October 1st at block height 591621. This protocol entered the history books for Ghost as the blockchain becomes even more decentralized. The AGVR protocol introduces GVR rewards on a per block basis given stake weight and AGVR eligibility. No other blockchain has this similar structure in place.

Currently, at press time, there are 102 AGVR eligible Veterans that will soon observe AGVR blocks in their wallet. These Veterans are currently waiting out their time lock of 21600 blocks as described in the AGVR update posted here. After block height 613221 Veterans will begin to see the first AGVR blocks being produced.

We observed a brief bug after the initial hard fork that was related to anon inputs/outputs. Within hours our dev team deployed the hotfix and released the current core version, 0.22.1.0. There were no errors found upon the basis of the protocol tracking GVR transactions, so users and the blockchain remained unaffected. This protocol is compatible in all formats of the Ghost Wallet including GhostVault. Furthermore, users who are cold staking can still enjoy the benefits of this protocol as the rewards are paid directly to the staker and not the pool.

Ghost Electrum

In the background while AGVR was approaching the final stages of development, our developers were also working on a new lightweight wallet for both desktop and mobile use! Shortly after the launch of AGVR, we proudly introduced Ghost Electrum. This new lightweight wallet can be downloaded directly from the Google Play store here. And for those that do not have access to the Google Play store, the APKs can be downloaded here. This is Ghost’s first official mobile wallet developed as an app for your Android device. For Apple users, iOS versions of Ghost Electrum will came later, but again, Apple users on macOS can download the APKs just fine.

The Ghost-Electrum wallet is not a full node like the Ghost Desktop or Ghost QT wallet. It is a lightweight wallet that features greater coin control and accessibility. This new wallet will help pave the way for Ghost to be implemented with hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger. Because Ghost-Electrum is not a full node, sync times are as low as 2 minutes. This is achieved through servers indexing the block headers.

Speaking of servers, there are zero downtimes because Ghost Electrum servers are decentralized and robust. Your wallet is never down. Another advantage of using Ghost Electrum is the near instant transaction time since block headers are indexed, unlike a full Ghost node. As mentioned above, this lightweight wallet now makes it possible for Ghost to be used on hardware wallets. In the meantime, users are still able to utilize Ghost-Electrum as cold storage. Your private keys are encrypted and never leave your computer. If your device goes offline, you still have access to your funds via recovery seed. It should be noted that the seed phrases on Ghost Electrum are different from that of the Ghost Desktop wallet.

Moreover on security, Ghost Electrum features 256-bit addresses just like the Desktop and QT wallet. This is not common in other lightweight wallets as 256-bit encryption can become complex due to the cryptography. These addresses use the most secure encryption currently available. Not even Bitcoin uses 256-bit addresses. Fore more on Ghost Electrum, please read our announcement here: https://ghostbymcafee.medium.com/ghost-electrum-44a39c6fdfa8 (https://ghostbymcafee.medium.com/ghost-electrum-44a39c6fdfa8)

Hardware Wallets

With the launch of Ghost Electrum, implementing Ghost onto popular hardware wallets as described earlier will make this all the more possible. In the past we have researched the different requirements each hardware wallet has. We have developed the foundation for this and are now moving forward with the main development. There has been a few test runs in the past with Ledger, but it was nothing compared to what will be actually supported via official firmware.

When this deliverable hits production, users will still be able to cold-stake just like on the other wallets, and of course, use this as cold storage. In the previous section it was mentioned Ghost Electrum supports 256-bit addresses. This will remain true when Ghost is supported on the various hardware wallets available. More to come regarding this deliverable later.

Partnerships

In other developments, our Community Relations and Media Personnel team have been busy seeking out new opportunities to create strong partnerships for the Ghost ecosystem. Some of these include repairing old partnerships that spoiled in our early days due to lost contact and others are new partners that will increase the accessibility of Ghost, among other things. As our continuing efforts to spread awareness and expand our community, we have had a few official news articles written about Ghost. We expect to increase the number of articles through our Media Personnel. They are working day in and day out connecting with journalists and writers from every avenue.

New Exchange Listing

Speaking of partnerships, the last cherry on top of an explosive Q3 is a new exchange listing! $GHOST has been listed on Exchange Assets, a Ukrainian based exchange that offers PoS pools, interest on your holdings, and more. They have been around for over five years and counting! Exchange Assets offers four different trading pairs for $GHOST, BTC/LTC/USDT/S11. Users can trade on this exchange now.!

For whatever reason I remembered this thread and just read through it all from beginning to end. I never liked McAfee -- of course his passing was sad -- but it is disturbing to see the continuance of idolization of him on Crypto Twitter. He was a narcissistic, pathologically-lying con artist. He never contributed anything of substance to the crypto world other than entertainment. I suppose that is enough for some.

What I learned over the last year or so is that a lot of crypto traders celebrate influencers' manipulative skills, along with their ability to lie with a straight face. These are not "virtues" that should be championed, yet they are. Similar to how a lot of douchebags think Jordan "Wolf of Wall Street" Belfort and Martin "Pharma Bro" Shkreli are cool. I dunno how such people see themselves as protagonists in their own life story. They think, "since these guys are scumbags and being celebrated, its OK if I'm a scumbag too." Which is incorrect. Nobody should aspire to be a scumbag, regardless of they potential payday involved.

BTW this coin is no longer being traded, although it is still producing new blocks, somewhat interestingly.

It's for sale. And development continues. McAfee is the founder, and the leadership is now in the community that once picked up and has not given up on the idea of the perfect privacy coin.

What you wrote about McAfee is not a problem with the project, but with people who tend to cultivate personalities and worship them like in cults. It's probably used somewhere when you need to mention McAfee as a founder or for marketing purposes.

Ghost Development Update (First Half of 2023)

With the first six months behind us, we have maintained our focused on executing roadmap deliverables and also pushed out a few maintenance updates along the way. Inside this update we will be discussing our progress on the Polygon Bridge, Core maintenance, On-Chain Governance, Community events, and other noteworthy developments.

Polygon Bridge

Earlier in the year, after our developers completed their research on how the smart contract mechanism would interact with the two blockchains (Ghost & Polygon), our developers published the basic contract interface. This is a set of predefined functions and specifications the bridge must adhere to in order to interact with other contracts or applications within the two blockchain’s environments. This interface specifies the function names, arguments, and return values among other parameters.

Continuing the development, the next step was to develop the data structures and controller contracts. The controller contracts will serve as intermediaries between user interactions and the underlying smart contract, coordinating actions and managing data flow. The data structure serves as an organizer and is used to store data in a way that facilitates efficient access, necessary manipulation & retrieval of data.

Moreover, development on the actual smart contract itself continued as the burn and mint functions were implemented. For a two-way bridge to be interoperable, there has to be a way for users to both, be able to mint the wrapped coins, and burn them when they want to move back to the main chain. This is a very important area of the bridge as these functions naturally manipulate the tokenomics of the wrapped coin. In order to protect the bridge, logic statements and functional tests have been incorporated into the burn/mint mechanism. In simple terms, this protects the blockchain from bad actors artificially inflating the supply.

Going back to data retrieval for a second, its important to understand how the bridge will gain access to certain data that it normally does not have access to, due to the blockchain’s isolated and deterministic environment. This is solved by adding an oracle. The role of the oracle is to provide trustless data to the smart contract itself. This bridges the gap between the two blockchains, as Polygon normally would not have access to Ghost’s blockchain data, i.e., tokenomics and conversion rates included.

At current press time, our developers are nearing the final testing phase for the polygon bridge. A testnet has been deployed and has been proven successful already. This is far from a final checkoff, but still a very exciting and huge accomplishment nonetheless. We will keep you updated as we get closer to production.

Core Maintenance

During testing of our upcoming on-chain governance model, one of our cryptographers noticed block 754789 experienced an issue where the block contained data with coins being sent to OP_RETURN, which then caused the AGVR protocol to reject this specific type of output. A hotfix was deployed only hours later and the blockchain resumed normal operations. To read more about this, click this link.
https://medium.com/@ghostbymcafee/emergency-hardfork-b87d1e601110 (https://medium.com/@ghostbymcafee/emergency-hardfork-b87d1e601110)

With the OP_RETURN bug resolved, we took a look at our core and decided to push out some maintenance updates to improve overall efficiency. Some of these maintenance items include improving sync times with the blockchain. Specifically, with the AGVR protocol, there are times where users can experience longer than usual sync times due to the nature of the protocol.

In addition, with Bitcoin’s latest releases, we decided to match our codebase to be up to date with the latest upstream. This will include adding Taproot to the codebase, but not fully implemented. There still has to be some changes made to make Taproot compatible for Ghost’s code, explicitly speaking, how Taproot will interoperate with RingCT and Bulletproofs.

On-Chain Governance

With the aforementioned core maintenance, we are also working on getting on-chain governance into production ASAP. This is a long awaited feature that every decentralized project should have. We completed our research on how this governance model will work last year, but are just now able to develop it due to other deliverables taking priority. The framework for this model is available on our GitHub now. We are actively in testing phase, so final tweaks are being made to ensure that the voting mechanism is trustless.

More on this, earlier in the year functional tests and logical statements were included to ensure RingCT will seamlessly work with on-chain governance since both of these protocols work at the consensus level.

Community Events and Updates

On June 22nd, Ghost turned 3 years old! We celebrated with another successful baking competition and enjoyed seeing the delicious creations our community baked. The winners of this year’s baking contest are below.

Following our 3rd birthday, as per our consensus, Ghost observed its 2nd block reward reduction at block height 788400. The current total block subsidy is now 10.8 $GHOST, down form 11.4 $GHOST. The current reward distribution is now as follows, 5.400 $GHOST for Veterans, 3.672 $GHOST for the Miner, and 1.728 $GHOST for the Development Fund.

If you haven't already downloaded SHELTR, our mobile wallet, we highly recommend you do so. SHELTR is not just any mobile wallet, it’s a PWA (Progressive Web Application). PWAs are known for their awesome features that make them feel like native apps, and SHELTR is no exception. It has a seamless and smooth user interface that makes it easy to use for everyone.

Wrapped Ghost on Polygon is now live!

$WGHOST
Contract Address: 0xb5e0CFe1B4dB501aC003B740665bf43192cC7853

This historic event brings a new chapter in our ecosystem’s history. New opportunities have now been opened, in addition to the uncountable amount of liquidity available and endless DeFi possibilities.

For Polygon, this is also huge news as there is not a whole lot of privacy focused projects on their platform. This is where Ghost has a sort of “First-Mover-Advantage.” With Polygon’s recent launch of their zk-EVM and the privacy protocols found in Ghost, transacting privately and across chains has never been better.

With the launch of Wrapped Ghost, ticker symbol $WGHOST, this marks the completion of Phase 1 of 2 and brings us ever so close to launching our decentralized two-way bridge. For now though, users wanting to bridge their Main Net $GHOST assets over to Polygon for $WGHOST, can head over to nonkyc.io for the transfer. Every $WGHOST token has an exact 1:1 collateralized Main Net $GHOST counterpart. Below are some quick details about $WGHOST:

Initial liquidity launch: 100,000 $WGHOST

Initial Liquidity Pool: Uniswap $MATIC/$WGHOST

Contract Address: 0xb5e0CFe1B4dB501aC003B740665bf43192cC7853

How to bridge: Head over to nonkyc.io and deposit your MainNet $GHOST into your wallet. Make sure you also have some $MATIC in your wallet for the withdrawal fee, there are no bridge fees. When you withdraw, it will prompt you to select which network. Select Wrapped Ghost as your option to withdraw and fill in the boxes with your Polygon address and amount to be withdrawn. Once finished, you can click “Make Withdraw.” Now you have successfully bridged $GHOST over to the Polygon Network!

Phase 2 of 2 will include the launch of our decentralized two-way bridge as mentioned earlier. When this bridge goes live we will upgrade the current wrapped ghost smart contract which will include some new features making it a better overall token. While we are closing in on Phase 2, final testing is being done on various aspects of the bridge such as the oracle and among other parameters. We will keep the community informed about our progress as this develops.

In the meantime, please enjoy using $WGhost on Polygon and explore all of the fun DeFi possibilities now available to you. This infinitely expands the Ghost ecosystem and is a great addition to the space as a whole.

GSTVPN Announces the Launch of Shadowsocks Network

We are excited to introduce the initial deployment of our Shadowsocks network at GSTVPN. Shadowsocks, a fast tunneling proxy, empowers users to overcome firewalls and enjoy unrestricted access to the internet.

In an era where private and unimpeded internet access is crucial, VPNs play a pivotal role. They provide freedom from content restrictions imposed by geographical or political borders, ensuring an internet experience that is free from censorship and protected from prying eyes.

However, some governments, ISPs, and organizations attempt to hinder access to VPNs, recognizing their efficacy in safeguarding user privacy. This has led to disruptions and, in some cases, outright blocking of VPN protocols in certain countries or regions.

Enter Shadowsocks, born out of necessity to combat internet censorship in China. Utilizing state-of-the-art ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, Shadowsocks ensures both high security and performance. Similar to SSH in its protocol, Shadowsocks excels in circumventing blocks more effectively than other protocols.

Initially, our Shadowsocks service is available in four locations: Dusseldorf, Germany; London, Great Britain; Palermo, Italy; and Kansas City, US. Stay tuned for more locations to come!

Connect with Shadowsocks and break free from censorship – because when you're connected to a VPN, there's nothing they can control or monitor. Enjoy a private and unrestricted online experience with GSTVPN's Shadowsocks network!

Ghost Development Update & 2024 Outlook

For our 2024 outlook we have a few scheduled hardforks coming. First of these series of hardforks is an update to the max supply figure, given the pre-mine that was not taken into account with the original developers. That being said, this will cap off the total amount of GHOST created at 55MM coins, with only 0.90 GHOST being produced every block once this maximum is reached. So overall, we are decreasing the block reward by 25%. This will revise the current reward distribution as follows:

Block reward: 8.100
Staker reward: 3.726
AGVR reward: 2.673
Dev Fund: 1.701

The second in the series is an overall update to the chain itself. This includes faster sync times, improvements to AGVR, upstream to match Bitcore 25x, Taproot, and other various improvements. As you'll notice, there are also further functional tests and additional support for the logic behind the On-Chain governance architecture. Another huge step towards decentralization. Much much more to come about this second update.

Lastly, as the aforementioned have taken priority over other deliverables, it also lays the groundwork for certain protocols to finally be re-implmented and or improved upon, namely, Dandelion++. Once Dandelion++ is re-implemented into Ghost-Core, we can discuss raising the maximum ring size and as a result, improving Bulletproofs. We hope to share some of our research supporting this decision soon. Again, the key here is to optimize transaction verification times while aslo ennhancing privacy protections. We call this Smart Scaling. 

We hope you are all just as excited for these updates as we are! Please stay tuned for more inforamtion.

The hardfork to the new core version 0.23.0.0, will take place today, Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

Please check your nodes and upgrade if you haven't already done so. Many of your nodes have updated automatically, but it's crucial to check everything again so you don't lose participation in the blockchain.
Over 100 commits have been made to this update alone, with several other developments continuing in parallel.

You can download the new base version by visiting our official GitHub or by following the link below.
