Title: ANN - Octane BLAKE2s | Headers 1st | Nodes | Open Assets | XOR^2 | LETS

OCTANE (OCTN) - Octane is a high performance crypto currency experience designed for speed and using the BLAKE2s hashing algorithm.  Octane is designed to provide interesting and involving mining dynamics while also enabling the creation of fast transaction processing and remittance solutions.  A FinTech 2.0 platform intended to provide a testbed for enabling technologies that are not yet finding adoption on top of Bitcoin.  Instead of loading up the wallet with useless features, the approach is to build an optimized core around which layers of the ecosystem can enable use cases.

The Octane Currency Movement

Digital Complementary Currency, High Performance Modern Solution

Octane is a high performance proof-of-stake cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol combined with the Proof-of-Stake protocol.  Octane differs from Bitcoin and coins like Litecoin in that it has a fast block time of 30 seconds, which translates into a fast network with fast transaction confirmations, and it uses proof-of-stake as the consensus mechanism which is environmentally friendly and incentivizes users.  The Octane codebase is continually optimized for speed and silky smooth wallet operation.

There are many cryptocurrencies which have emerged since the release of Bitcoin.  Many are abandoned or highly volatile, making it hard to discern levels of quality and longevity.  Octane has been devised to solve many of the problems seen in existing cryptocurrency codebases and to foster an ecosystem through better positioning, marketing, and economic design.

Global Systemic Risks

"In the absence of the gold standard there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation." - Alan Greenspan

"Real monetary reform will only come after a major currency crisis hits." - Ron Paul

The financial collapse of 2008 in traditional markets was a shocking wake up call.  But in many ways severe global systemic risk still exists in the traditional financial markets.  Worldwide economies are intertwined and interdependent in ways that connect seemingly minute issues in one part of the world to larger reactions in other parts of the world.  It is inevitable that a more severe global economic reset is coming within our lifetime.  What will you do in the face of capital controls, bank holidays, depositor "haircuts", and the plethora of other levers that will be pulled to attempt to provide stabilization.  We very well could see the re-emergence of "depression scrips" to fill in the gaps left by a shortage of cash.  Looking at current events, it is clear that the state of the entire world is in a very precarious position.  What can you do?  You can diversify into metals like gold and silver, and attempt to get physical delivery fulfilled.  But metals are not easily tradeable and require physical storage and security.  You can stockpile cash, which requires physical storage and security, but this may have its own issues with capital controls, governments clearly on a track to practically ban the use of physical cash, not to mention the risks of devaluation and hyperinflation.

Cryptocurrency As A Complementary Currency Hedge

Cryptocurrencies have emerged as experimental digital cash that is centrally controlled by no one.  Decentralization, with no central bank arbitrarily inflating money supply at will, puts you the user in control.  Cryptocurrencies and digital tokens represent a potential hedge against global risks.  Cryptocurrencies are easily tradeable electronically over the internet, and can be made easily tradeable locally through mobile devices, terminals, and even physical solutions like paper wallets.  "Complementary currencies" are currencies that typically emerge locally or regionally as a way to facilitate local bartering and trade of goods and services, filling in gaps left by cash shortages.  They are most common in emerging markets but also exist in some first world countries, generally going unnoticed.  Cryptocurrency is an ideal mechanism to act as a complementary currency.  Defined in software, digital currencies can be extended, integrated with payment systems and other software, and easily verified by anyone through the blockchain protocol.  Because cryptocurrency and the design of the Bitcoin protocol is trustless, the blockchain provides some level of insulation from the potentially unpredictable activities of central banks and world economies.

Bitcoin Vs. Alternatives

The Bitcoin protocol was a paradigm shift, one that will change the future of money forever.  But, Bitcoin may not be suitable for all purposes.  Politics, block sizes, confirmation times, speed, development direction, centralization of mining...there are many variables that are moving Bitcoin in a direction that leaves room for alternatives with differing specifications and operating parameters to fill in gaps or enable some use cases more efficiently.  Like biological evolution, alternative cryptocurrencies emerge, some with better innovations then others, some die off, others survive and thrive given a nurturing environment.  It is clear that enabling the potential for success is dependent on both providing the right tools for users and capturing network effects over time.

Octane Evolution

The initial development roadmap to build out and evolve the Octane network consists of both internal protocol enhancements to optimize the network as well as external construction to jumpstart the ecosystem.  In addition to software, the evolution of Octane will be as much about spreading the word and awareness, and aligning products and services with the needs of the market.

Headers First
Octane will be the first proof-of-stake coin to support headers first, the optimized block syncing mechanism developed in Bitcoin Core.

Octane Nodes
An optimized masternode implementation in Octane that allows users to put up coins as collateral and acts as a sort of savings bond, entitling the users to a piece of the network stake reward.  The savings bond effect acts as a stabilizing force in the cryptoeconomy and has proven to be a popular incentive for users.

Open Assets Protocol
Octane will implement the Open Assets protocol for the creation and transfer of colored coins on the blockchain.  The beauty of Open Assets is in its simplicity, and it will open the door for Octane to pursue things that other coins like Via have tried but stalled on.

XOR^2
More details on what the exciting XOR^2 is and how it works will be revealed in the future.

LETS Local Exchange Trading System
The development roadmap of Octane leads up to the implementation of a cryptocurrency equivalent of the traditional LETS system (Local Exchange Trading System) used by non-crypto complementary currencies.  LETS was invented in the early 1980's and has been digitized by a few products that essentially act as a database.  Octane will build out a cryptocurrency equivalent of the LETS concept, further cementing its position as a digital complementary currency.

About Octane

Users may mine for Octane coins using the wallet or daemon and the traditional "setgenerate true" or -gen=1 commands.

Octane features a fast 30 second block time, which means approximately 2,880 blocks per day. The PoW reward schedule is an inverse parabola designed to reward both early and late miners, so everyone has an opportunity to participate.  The proof-of-work mining period will run until block 11,520, after which Octane will become purely proof-of-stake which is energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Lucky Power Ups

Stakers can pick up power ups if they mine the lucky blocks.  The lucky power up schedule is:

8 coin power up every 888 blocks
88 coin power up every 8888 blocks
8888 coin high octane power up every 88888 blocks

Building Octane

Octane no longer requires libb2 for BLAKE2 support, it has been integrated directly into the source tree.  You can simply pull from github and build as usual.  If you do choose to go with the library version, note that Octane is not using the "p" versions of the algorithms, so openmp support should be disabled (pass --disable-openmp to configure).  Pass --enable-static to build the statically linkable version of the library.

More information about the BLAKE2 algorithms can be found at https://blake2.net/.  The libb2 library can be downloaded from there as well (https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz).

Ah interesting to see, Blake2 should be ideal for FPGA's and/or smaller devices like Raspberry Pi's etc.

I'll add a Pool and CPU Miner later when I got some spare time !

So there is no GPU miner for blake2 ?

There is currently nothing but in-wallet mining for blake2, its a new algo.

Here is the error I get compiling in Linux


hash.h:14:20: fatal error: blake2.h: No such file or directory

You need to compile this https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz and then add that line posted by ocminer
Where do I find these? There not in the blake2 package.

/root/octane/src/hash.h:35: undefined reference to `blake2s_final'
/root/octane/src/hash.h:33: undefined reference to `blake2s_init'
/root/octane/src/hash.h:34: undefined reference to `blake2s_update'

You have to modify your makefile.unxi:

LIBS+= \
 -Wl,-B$(LMODE2) \
   -l z \
   -l dl \
   -l pthread \
   -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/include -lb2

Like the coin and the wallet, it feels very different from the recent cpu coins like the pieces of shit dropcoin and supcoin, this one feels like eh.... 'real mining'  :P apart from only getting one accepted stake block from a bunch of them

also something new to me or that i had not noticed in other wallets is that every new found block goes to a different address... is this common?

Code:
hashmeter   1353 khash/s
hashmeter   1289 khash/s

That's on a Sandybridge i3 1.40GHz × 2/2, entry-level laptop. Blake2b is very quick, takes full advantage of onboard ASIC. A good choice for minimising GPU advantage over CPU, I've always thought.

Ah interesting to see, Blake2 should be ideal for FPGA's and/or smaller devices like Raspberry Pi's etc.

I'll add a Pool and CPU Miner later when I got some spare time !

So there is no GPU miner for blake2 ?

There is currently nothing but in-wallet mining for blake2, its a new algo.

This is blake2s, sia uses blake2

All this Info is also in the Getting Started Page at:

I've lowered the Difficulty of the Stratum Port to meet CPU Mining, as soon as the GPU Miner is out, I'll add a new Stratum port for the GPU miners.

wget https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz

Don't forget, you'll need to install this prior to building it:

https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz

All this Info is also in the Getting Started Page at:

https://oct.suprnova.cc


I've lowered the Difficulty of the Stratum Port to meet CPU Mining, as soon as the GPU Miner is out, I'll add a new Stratum port for the GPU miners.


@Dev: Please add the Pool and the Miner to the OP.

Thanks & have fun guys !

should be very easy, try something like this:

setup a ubuntu 14.xx vps and then (as root):

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake wget libtool

wget https://blake2.net/libb2-0.97.tar.gz
tar xzvf libb2-0.97.tar.gz
cd libb2-0.97
./configure --disable-openmp
make
make install
ldconfig

cd
git clone https://github.com/ocminer/cpuminer-blake2b.git
cd cpuminer-blake2b
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
screen
./minerd -a blake2b -o stratum+tcp://oct.suprnova.cc:3846 -u suprnova.octopussy -p x


Replace your username of course

I never did it, but it should work like this:

Code:
Basic Windows build instructions, using MinGW:
Install MinGW and the MSYS Developer Tool Kit (http://www.mingw.org/)
* Make sure you have mstcpip.h in MinGW\include
If using MinGW-w64, install pthreads-w64
Install libcurl devel (http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)
* Make sure you have libcurl.m4 in MinGW\share\aclocal
* Make sure you have curl-config in MinGW\bin
In the MSYS shell, run:
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
LIBCURL="-lcurldll" ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

I dunno about that, we actually have had a lot of connections on the seeds etc. since launch, definitely a lot of people were on mining via the wallet, and I've held 80+ peers for the duration.  That's a pretty good sign to me, compared to some other recent launches.

If "bob" invested the resources to get his hash, that's cool, I see it as a vote of confidence/interest that someone was willing to go to the trouble.

i could sell, but how do you determine price to pos coin without exchanges..?

divide your expectation of the market cap by the number of coins

so we have a supply of 1,000,000. new coins are debuting with 2-8 btc market caps these days. so this will probably trade somewhere between 200-800 sat in the early going. if you think this coin is likely to trade higher than other alts you could go higher.

Wouldn't be wise if you would hardfork the coin reactivate the POW for let's say 1 more month with the same rewards with POS and increase block spacing to 60 seconds so it wouldn't affect estimated total coins?
New algo would be an attraction to this coin but with such a small POW period it lost the interest no GPU miner, standalone windows miner has been developed for it. Longer POW would deffinitely increase the interest in the coin. Just sayin...

Right now is just another POS coin nothing new

Why exactly? how is it different from other x11/scrypt/sha 'short' pows ? there were 11,520 pow blocks btw. Like it or hate it, distribution has been made. You can't demand to go back to 2009 for low diff btc, it doesn't work like that. FUD away now.

Man it was a suggestion you can barely call it as FUD. It seems that you didn't understood what i said. I  agree with you that it is not different from other short POWs that's what bothers me. New algo should be exploited better than just a 3 day POW

when working win wallet came out 750++ blocks were mined
when ocminer helped to solve howto compile linux wallet 800++ blocks were mined
=upto 240000 coins instamined by devs node

bnProofOfWorkLimit = CBigNum(~uint256(0) >> 8 );
genesis.nNonce   = 39;
so the starting diff was 5,960464477539063e-8=0.0000000596
there was a rule on source to get it higher but it was not used

height: 750 nonce: 578314 (0,34secs to solve with one core)
actual average 1-750blocks is 2.4secs per block
actual average 1-11520blocks is 12.8secs per block
easy mining, like my coffee maker could do the same

last pow block was found only in one sec with nonce 3935091433
that equals about 2500 cores mining on it with in 1 sec,
else saying: there was a gpu miner/botnet called Bob on this coin
his speed is a question but we should be talking about hashpower of 4Gh/s
it is also possible to get this speed with several 32 core vps servers, but it costs you real money
lucky he got only under 100k coins if he was a free rider.
if he paid his power it is fair.

so it is possible we have about 350k coins in two big wallets..

Just curious why in the source code the blake2.h was left out....?  If i may ask.
Originally Octane was setup to link against the library version of blake2s "libb2" downloadable from the blake2 website.

I realize this has been confusing to some people, exchange wallet wranglers, people trying to self-build the Windows wallet... so I have updated the github and integrated the blake2s reference implementation directly and updated the .pro and unix makefile.

If you still want to use the library version you can, but you'll have to revert the edits to the pro/makefile.  The difference with the library version is that the configure script will auto-detect special features of your CPU and enable various optimizations.  For most people this doesn't really matter.

Now you can pull from github and there is no external dependency on libb2, you can build as usual and it will "just work".  This should make it much easier for people who were confused by the library.

I've updated the Windows wallet download link for version 1.3.  This version optimizes lock ordering in the wallet and solves the periodic wallet UI "freezing" and CPU spiking that was happening after winning a stake block or sending coins, common in all recent BlackCoin based coins.  Now it is silky smooth with no freezes/pauses in the GUI.

The Octane Currency Movement

Digital Complementary Currency, High Performance Modern Solution

Octane is a high performance proof-of-stake cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol combined with the Proof-of-Stake protocol.  Octane differs from Bitcoin and coins like Litecoin in that it has a fast block time of 30 seconds, which translates into a fast network with fast transaction confirmations, and it uses proof-of-stake as the consensus mechanism which is environmentally friendly and incentivizes users.  The Octane codebase is continually optimized for speed and silky smooth wallet operation.

There are many cryptocurrencies which have emerged since the release of Bitcoin.  Many are abandoned or highly volatile, making it hard to discern levels of quality and longevity.  Octane has been devised to solve many of the problems seen in existing cryptocurrency codebases and to foster an ecosystem through better positioning, marketing, and economic design.

Global Systemic Risks

"In the absence of the gold standard there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation." - Alan Greenspan

"Real monetary reform will only come after a major currency crisis hits." - Ron Paul

The financial collapse of 2008 in traditional markets was a shocking wake up call.  But in many ways severe global systemic risk still exists in the traditional financial markets.  Worldwide economies are intertwined and interdependent in ways that connect seemingly minute issues in one part of the world to larger reactions in other parts of the world.  It is inevitable that a more severe global economic reset is coming within our lifetime.  What will you do in the face of capital controls, bank holidays, depositor "haircuts", and the plethora of other levers that will be pulled to attempt to provide stabilization.  We very well could see the re-emergence of "depression scrips" to fill in the gaps left by a shortage of cash.  Looking at current events, it is clear that the state of the entire world is in a very precarious position.  What can you do?  You can diversify into metals like gold and silver, and attempt to get physical delivery fulfilled.  But metals are not easily tradeable and require physical storage and security.  You can stockpile cash, which requires physical storage and security, but this may have its own issues with capital controls, governments clearly on a track to practically ban the use of physical cash, not to mention the risks of devaluation and hyperinflation.

Cryptocurrencies have emerged as experimental digital cash that is centrally controlled by no one.  Decentralization, with no central bank arbitrarily inflating money supply at will, puts you the user in control.  Cryptocurrencies and digital tokens represent a potential hedge against global risks.  Cryptocurrencies are easily tradeable electronically over the internet, and can be made easily tradeable locally through mobile devices, terminals, and even physical solutions like paper wallets.  "Complementary currencies" are currencies that typically emerge locally or regionally as a way to facilitate local bartering and trade of goods and services, filling in gaps left by cash shortages.  They are most common in emerging markets but also exist in some first world countries, generally going unnoticed.  Cryptocurrency is an ideal mechanism to act as a complementary currency.  Defined in software, digital currencies can be extended, integrated with payment systems and other software, and easily verified by anyone through the blockchain protocol.  Because cryptocurrency and the design of the Bitcoin protocol is trustless, the blockchain provides some level of insulation from the potentially unpredictable activities of central banks and world economies.

Bitcoin Vs. Alternatives

The Bitcoin protocol was a paradigm shift, one that will change the future of money forever.  But, Bitcoin may not be suitable for all purposes.  Politics, block sizes, confirmation times, speed, development direction, centralization of mining...there are many variables that are moving Bitcoin in a direction that leaves room for alternatives with differing specifications and operating parameters to fill in gaps or enable some use cases more efficiently.  Like biological evolution, alternative cryptocurrencies emerge, some with better innovations then others, some die off, others survive and thrive given a nurturing environment.  It is clear that enabling the potential for success is dependent on both providing the right tools for users and capturing network effects over time.

Octane Evolution

The initial development roadmap to build out and evolve the Octane network consists of both internal protocol enhancements to optimize the network as well as external construction to jumpstart the ecosystem.  In addition to software, the evolution of Octane will be as much about spreading the word and awareness, and aligning products and services with the needs of the market.

Headers First
Octane will be the first proof-of-stake coin to support headers first, the optimized block syncing mechanism developed in Bitcoin Core.

Octane Nodes
An optimized masternode implementation in Octane that allows users to put up coins as collateral and acts as a sort of savings bond, entitling the users to a piece of the network stake reward.  The savings bond effect acts as a stabilizing force in the cryptoeconomy and has proven to be a popular incentive for users.

Open Assets Protocol
Octane will implement the Open Assets protocol for the creation and transfer of colored coins on the blockchain.  The beauty of Open Assets is in its simplicity, and it will open the door for Octane to pursue things that other coins like Via have tried but stalled on.

XOR^2
More details on what the exciting XOR^2 is and how it works will be revealed in the future.

LETS Local Exchange Trading System
The development roadmap of Octane leads up to the implementation of a cryptocurrency equivalent of the traditional LETS system (Local Exchange Trading System) used by non-crypto complementary currencies.  LETS was invented in the early 1980's and has been digitized by a few products that essentially act as a database.  Octane will build out a cryptocurrency equivalent of the LETS concept, further cementing its position as a digital complementary currency.

The Octane Currency Movement

Digital Complementary Currency, High Performance Modern Solution

Octane is a high performance proof-of-stake cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin protocol combined with the Proof-of-Stake protocol.  Octane differs from Bitcoin and coins like Litecoin in that it has a fast block time of 30 seconds, which translates into a fast network with fast transaction confirmations, and it uses proof-of-stake as the consensus mechanism which is environmentally friendly and incentivizes users.  The Octane codebase is continually optimized for speed and silky smooth wallet operation.

There are many cryptocurrencies which have emerged since the release of Bitcoin.  Many are abandoned or highly volatile, making it hard to discern levels of quality and longevity.  Octane has been devised to solve many of the problems seen in existing cryptocurrency codebases and to foster an ecosystem through better positioning, marketing, and economic design.

I think a longer proof of work time frame personally would have been a better choice however any developer has the right to operate their own project as they see fit......

Just curious why in the source code the blake2.h was left out....?  If i may ask.

I had the same oppinion but if dev will keep improving the coin maybe adding some new features, services etc it can be succesfull on it's own

In the block explorer POS blocks are appearing continuously also the blockchain is moving so i guess that POS blocks are solved, but i am syncing up now to see if i can get any POS block

yes, the chain is moving smoothly with pos blocks being found, I just found it strange that i have not received any in the last three days. See mammix2 comment below.

I think it is all about the coin age, that's why after the initial buzz when there are less coins and it is easier to stake, i am usually waiting 1 week to build up enough age again and be able to get Pos blocks

With POS 2.0 you don't build up age, you are better off running the wallet continuously.

Are any of you guys into staking on raspberry pi / hardware staking devices?  One of the things I was thinking of building for Octane was a screen in the wallet that would auto-detect and show you stats from any staking wallets on your local network like raspberry pi wallets instead of having to use a web interface on the device.

would it be possible to do the same for vps? some simple stats like if daemon is online, staking, alerts when daemon offline.. sounds like a cool idea.

IMO - It's cool no exchange has picked this one up yet for a change really, and I hope it stays that way until there's anything other than promises so it can really shine and skip the smaller exchanges, when/if it really shows what is made of and not just another abandoned coin. We would be trading hot air at the moment and there are hundreds of those who-can-spit-out-the-better-BS coins around, hopefully this is not one of them.
It would be cool for the dev to be more involved around here though.
