pip install -r requirements.txt
To go back to your screen, use
Code:
screen -r nado
To update your NADO installation, use
Code:
git pull origin main
from the directory where you have it installed.

Windows
There is a release page in GitHub (https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases), which is periodically updated when major changes occur. The easiest way to run NADO for Windows users is to use the nado.exe binary from there.

It is also possible to install Python on Windows (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and run NADO directly. Command line instructions:
Direct installation

First download (https://github.com/hclivess/nado/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) the master branch from GitHub and extract the archive. Run the command line as Administrator and enter the following commands:
Code:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

To run NADO, execute the following command: python3.10 nado.py

After installation, go to your browser and announce your peer to one of the nodes like this: http://127.0.0.1:9173/announce_peer?ip=144.91.103.83 (http://127.0.0.1:9173/announce_peer?ip=144.91.103.83). For this, you should have port 9173 open (https://www.google.com/search?q=port+forwarding+guide) so the node is accessible from the internet if you want to receive rewards. After this step, synchronization should start shortly.

Wallet
You can download the official NADO wallet here (https://github.com/hclivess/nado-microwallet) or on the release page of NADO (https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases).
Remote access

After running the node, you can access it at http://127.0.0.1:9173 (http://127.0.0.1:9173/) from where all API calls used by the node itself are accessible. Here are some examples:

● http://127.0.0.1:9173/get_account?address=ndo6a7a7a6d26040d8d53ce66343a47347c9b79e814c66e29 (http://127.0.0.1:9173/get_account?address=ndo6a7a7a6d26040d8d53ce66343a47347c9b79e814c66e29)

Private key storage
In previous versions, private key was stored in the folder where NADO is installed, under private directory, specifically in the keys.dat file. With the latest version, this file is stored in user's home directory,
Code:
/~/nado/private/keys.dat
in Linux and
Code:
C:\Users\[username]\nado\private
in Windows.

Is there anything unique?
Yes. No mining, minting, block production happens in every node at once, based on the deterministic principles of the blockchain. This is possible because block production is separated from the consensual layer. This removes all the selfish miner incentives, which cause issues like transaction exclusion in traditional PoW systems.

What is NADO?
NADO is short for Tornado. It is just another blockchain written from scratch with a highly experimental consensus algorithm, which was created to provide effortless mining for all participants with a public IP address. NADO is not a classic proof-of-work blockchain like Bitcoin. Unlike most other crypto, its focus is on accessibility to rewards for everyone. It has a fully elastic reward mechanism, rewarding users only when transactions are happening on the chain. Users can burn their share of tokens in order to increase their chances of winning more rewards in the future.

What's the reason for NADO?
NADO is a take on one of the newer trends, where users do not use graphics cards or specialized hardware for mining, nor do they have to own a large portion of tokens in order to be rewarded. It is inspired by IDENA and NYZO, while attempting to bring the barrier of entry even lower than those two by not requiring solving of puzzles or highly efficient machines for users to remain in a reward distribution cycle.

What does NADO do differently?
In NADO, every user generates new blocks at the same time. This is possible because users are not rewarded for mining blocks but for keeping the network running. After generating a block and receiving a reward, chances of receiving more block rewards are temporarily lowered based on the public IP address. Every IP address can only have one block generating node. While this excludes users without public addresses, it prevents node spamming to a degree.

Sounds interesting, can you elaborate?
There are multiple cycles for every block. It starts with accepting peers and transactions directly. In the second stage, transactions and peers are stored in a buffer for the following block so that transactions can stabilize across the network. NADO prefers decentralization to efficiency, which means it exposes consensus more than the individual node, which makes it more resilient regarding SPOF but less efficient.

But is there a premise?
The premise of NADO is that users stop being interested in decentralized value distributing projects because it becomes progressively more difficult for them to join them or remain as time goes on. The main reason for users to leave is not the lack of adoption, but the mismatch between adoption, distribution and inflation. Distribution is the single one most important aspect of a cryptocurrency project as proven in the success of NANO, where no single entity was capable of obtaining a high amount of tokens through monopolizing token distribution.

● Constant rewards are counterproductive: Users will keep running their nodes even though they are not receiving rewards in a particular moment because there is no block reward for a particular block because network activity is low. Fighting inflation is more important than hoping for users to not stop running nodes.

● Elastic distribution was one of the key promises of Vertcoin, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies of 2014. NADO puts these promises into practice.
● Litecoin was created as a Bitcoin with fair distribution. None of the projects mentioned above put large effort into marketing and were extremely popular nonetheless.
● Barrier of entry is directly correlated to fairness of distribution. This is an idea on which Steve Jobs built his entire business. Removal of hassles in Apple operating systems and simplicity of their mobile devices led to widespread adoption simply because there were no hurdles to adoption.
● Interestingly enough, some of the most successful "cryptocurrency projects" where pyramid schemes that had zero technology in them: Bitcoinnect and Onecoin. All users had to do there was to go on a website and click a button to invest money into something that did not exist. Why did they do it? Because it was easy.
● Combining great and accessible technology with perfect distribution and effective marketing is the key to successful adoption.


Why not only use the existing projects?
● With PoW, the problem is in the arms race.
● With PoS, the problem is in the rising price.
● With PoD, the problem is in the increasing difficulty to re-join mesh with more participants.

Proof of what?
Every node in the NADO ecosystem keeps track of what opinions other nodes have by sharing state checksums for current block producer pools, transaction pools, peer pools and block hash pools. Participants add credibility over time to those who share their opinions on what the state of the network is. The security principle is that any attacker needs to be connected to the network for a longer time than the legitimate nodes and postpone the attack until their network participation duration is longer than that of other nodes - to perform a 51% attack. If the legitimate nodes stay in the network longer than the attackers, it is impossible to attack.

Burn-to-Bribe system and governance
In the beginning, all users have the same chance at receiving a reward every block. If they succeed, they are issued both tokens and a penalty. This penalty lowers chance of further finding rewards in relation to users who have not been rewarded yet, but it can be negated by burning a portion of the coins they generated or obtained otherwise. Currently, the model is set up in 1:100 ratio, which means that 1 portion of burn negates 100 portions of penalty. Both penalty and burn are counted from the smallest unit of NADO, so the lowest penalty resolution is 0.0000000001 and the lowest burn/bribe resolution is 0.0000000010. This system was created as an additional measure against inflation after implementation of elastic distribution and burned tokens are used for governance purposes.

To burn your NADO, send it to the following address:
Code:
burn

What about security?
There are no guarantees for security of NADO, mainly because of its highly experimental character. Compared to more excluding networks like Bitcoin, security will always be lower as the main focus is on lowering the entry level for new users to make mining as inclusive as possible.
How many decimals are there and what are the units called?

1 NADO can be split into 1,000,000,000 units.

Got some sci-fi tech mumbo jumbo?
● Cryptography: Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (Ed25519)
● Link hashing: BLAKE2b
● Block capacity: Capped at 250KB per minute
● Block reward: Between 0 and 5 depending on network usage
● Transaction throughput: 7 raw transactions per second
● Proof of Fidelity with aspects of majority and diversity
● noSQL MessagePack file-based atomized database system
● Optional MessagePack formatting in API
● Shared mining protocol
● Periodic intervals to enforce consensus stabilization
● Burn-to-Bribe deflationary incentive and governance
● The logo is a vortexed version of the Impossible Toroidal Polyhedron

Having some really bad problems that I can't fix - if anyone can help that would be great:

This looks like a connectivity issue, where are you located? You can use a different node to announce. Try one of these: http://78.102.98.72:9173/peers
If it is the wallet that's causing you issues, I just added async code from node to wallet as well - selecting peers is now based on accumulated trust credit
Good luck

Also I would like to ask everyone to update their node before block 12000, we will have a fork to adjust mining to not prioritise burners over new addresses

https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases
0.14 - Goatmilk is good for you Latest
- New burning bonus mechanism that prevents miners for going below bonus of new addresses, replaces the original 1/3 block burn competition idea
- Several terminal output improvements

How do you know if you are fully functional?  I am getting My Block Hash: then a block hash and such but I don't know what it should "look" like to understand if everything is functional.

Am I to understand  "NODE IS OK!" means I am good?

Greetings, there has been an issue with the compiler, which prevented Windows users from using the latest wallet.

With help of a guy from Blizzard and Riot Games, we were able to resolve the issue and Windows users can now enjoy the latest code.

https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases/download/0.17/NADO_MicroWallet_setup.exe

this includes
- proper keys storage/usage (critical)
- massively improved connectivity and transaction broadcasting
- correct refresh rate

Please update

Make sure to backup the 'private' folder which holds your address key pair.

When receiving error messages like the one below, it could help to completely remove the nado folder and install from scratch using the latest release (remember to back the 'private' folder before you remove the nado folder).

Did your address change? If it did, you still have your keys.dat in your wallet folder. That's your original wallet.
Code is relatively stable right now and key locations are unlikely to change in the future. If you find your old keys, you can copy them to

~/nado/private/keys.day
or
c:\users\...\nado\private\keys.dat

always make backups (and restore backups to confirm)

Your old keys are wherever you installed your wallet, so probably "C:\Program Files (x86)\NADO MicroWallet\keys.dat"

We are currently experiencing a network unstability due to a loopback bug. The code has been fixed and new features added, such as forced sync. You can force your node to sync from a single IP until it reaches a majority consensus with:

Code:
wget --delete-after http://127.0.0.1:9173/force_sync_ip?ip=207.180.203.132

Also some of the most important parts are being streamlined and restructured, so code is easier to improve. Thank you for your patience.

Visual C++ is notorious with versioning. I recommend installing a different version. You need one that is compatible with latest Nuitka.

You should use version at least 14.2:

0.18 - Moulin Rouge
https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases/tag/0.18

Code:
Disabled binding of 0.0.0.0 and loopback addresses
Promiscuity mode (ignores trust for pure 51% sync mode)
Option to force sync from a single IP until 80% consensus is reached and joined
Cascade limit set to 1 by default (sync from majority)
min_peers, peer_limit, max_rollbacks, cascade_limit, promiscuous can now be set using configuration file
Safer trust management
Transaction pool and block producer list are now synced from majority block hash nodes
IPV4 enforced
linewallet moved here, now supports arguments for most values and takes private key as argument (use --help)
Proper storage of block producer hashes
Restored security for transaction incorporation

Post by: bit-signal on January 13, 2023, 12:12:36 PM
The nado blockchain underwent a hard fork at block number 20000. After this point, transactions must include a target block in order to be included in the blockchain. Additionally, blocks cannot be older than the previous block.

All nodes on the network simultaneously create blocks and propose them to the network. The network then uses hash matching to determine the validity of the blocks, transactions, and block producer agreement. The majority of hashes will be considered valid. Nodes that are a part of the majority do not need to propagate blocks, as they have already created them. However, other minority nodes need to catch up and sync to the latest valid block. A block reward is given to the winner of a specific address mining algorithm.

If a node is unable to reach a particular node, that node will be removed from the block producer list and will not be considered for block production. When that node remains in the network and connectivity improves, it will be restored to the block producer list after a certain period of time.

0.2 - Chronos

This release completely reworks how block_time is understood in NADO, removing possible exploits and situations that have historically led to nodes desyncing. New mode switch is included for periods, nodes no longer add other lower protocol nodes to status pool, etc. Beware, a count of blank blocks have been generated for this system to work properly (starting at around 65,000).

https://github.com/hclivess/nado/releases/tag/0.2

There are no further big changes planned for the nearest future, thanks everyone for testing!
