Askcoin is a cryptocurrency for real-time Q&A and event prediction. It has a built-in decentralized exchange, It was created for people to ask questions freely, to talk freely, to trade freely and to predict events freely. It's decentralized and ASIC-resistant, this is achieved by a new POW consensus algorithm.

As we all know, bitcoin is mined by calculating sha256, so whoever calculates sha256 fast will be able to produce new blocks before anyone else, this is exactly what ASIC mining machines on the market are good at.

In order to weaken the advantages of ASIC mining machine, the mining algorithm of askcoin uses sha256 combined with memory loading to resist ASIC machine. In askcoin, the speed of mining depends mainly on the speed of memory load, not the speed of sha256 calculation.

Now, Askcoin's Mainnet is launched, it is different from any question-and-answer project in the past, because it is a completely decentralized project, which is reflected in the following aspects:

1. Anyone can run askcoin's full node freely

2. Anyone can freely choose whether to mine on the Full node or not.

3. Anyone can run their own block explorer freely.

4. Anyone can connect askcoin's block explorer to the full node they are running

5. Anyone can connect askcoin's mobile app to the full node they are running

Unlike Bitcoin, askcoin uses an account model, so before using askcoin, you have to register an account in the block chain. In askcoin, there are five types of transactions:

• Register an account
• Transfer
• Ask a question (or topic)
• Reply to a question
• Reward a reply

In order to prevent DDoS attacks, 2 ASK fees will be deducted from the initiator of each transaction. But if you are registering an account, who will pay for it? That's what your referrer should do.

In askcoin, if you want to register an account, you need to enter your username, avatar, and the string signed by your referrer. When the full node receives your registration request, it will deduct 2 ASK from your referrer's account.

Of the 2 ASK fees paid for each transaction you initiate since then, 1 ASK will be paid to the miner's account that put the transaction in the block, and another 1 ASK will be paid to your referrer's account.

The total supply of askcoin is 1000 billion, of which 900 billion is produced by miners through mining, and the remaining 100 billion is retained by the founder team for promotion, popularization, attracting users, stabilizing the market and so on. That is to say, the vast majority of ASK comes from mining.

SPECIFICATION:

• Total supply: 1000 billion (considering the long-term support of small reward amount, so a single ASK price must be low enough)
• Block time: 20 sec
• Block reward: 5000 ASK
• Algorithm: SHA256-AR (asic-resistant)

For the reasons stated above, when you first register, you need someone to generate a signature string for your registration. You can post a reply here, leave the user name you want to register, or tell me through telegram that I can help you generate this signature string. The person who replies here can get 1000 ASK coins for free. Once you register successfully, you can also help others to generate the registration signature string by using the corresponding function button in the mobile app, and you will automatically become their referrer.

To make it easier for new users to register, we have released a web tool to generate signature strings for users to register. You can access its source code through github:
https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin-gen-reg-sign

If you are a new user and need to register, you can generate the signature string for registration through the following address:
http://generate.askcoin.me

If you want to register through mobile app, you can copy the signature string generated by the above tool to the corresponding input box in the registration UI of mobile app for subsequent registration process.

If you want to register by running the full-node command, you need to modify the config.json file first, and make sure that your node has established a communication connection with other nodes, and then wait for your node to synchronize with other peer nodes before proceeding with the registration process, and then synchronize your system time with global UTC time (using crontab and ntpdate command).

So, what can I do to get ASK coin? There are 3 ways to get it:

• After registering the account, you can import the private key into the mobile app and receive a reward by answering questions from others.
• Run the full node to mine and get the miner's earnings.
• Buy ASK coin through an exchange or person-to-person transaction.

well, what's the point of the coins, the additional pools, I don't see them here, how can I try to mine, thank you

If you want to mine, you can refer to the fullnode's doc:
https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin#askcoin

  as it is all difficult for you, and even half the coins you have .... monopoly ;D

You're wrong, guy, Please read carefully:

"and another 500 billion is temporarily retained by the founder team for promotion, popularization, attracting users, stabilizing the market and so on. When the project develops to a stable state, we are willing to donate most of our ASK coins and transfer them to the system reserve account to supplement the supply of mining. That is to say, the vast majority of ASK comes from mining."

Do you have ready wallets and miner under Windows? Where and how can I mine?

Maybe our next step is to list askcoin on Bisq (decentralized exchange).

as I resolve this I do not get a reference

The 'gen_reg_sign' command can only be executed by the account already registered, what name do you want to register?
I can generate this registration string for you, tell me your username please.

At present, signature strings for registration can only be generated by other registered users, which reflects our persistent de-centralization, because we do not want to rely on any website or toolkit to use askcoin, but hope that askcoin can really be widely disseminated and voluntarily promoted among people. But it is undeniable that this does bring some trouble and inconvenience to new users. Here, I sincerely invite new users to join our Telegram group (https://t.me/askcoin), where we generate this signature string for you. Soon we will develop a temporary website tool to help new users generate signature strings to improve the convenience of new users to some extent.

Ok, this is your sign string:

{"sign":"MEUCIAKl2/WNobZwqVx6YQHAsjwjyk57ygN+pTYzW1mLz19SAiEAt0qj7o9UAkKEVfPNK8bZozbZuOJ3517BTWCHqY4dseE=","sign_data":{"block_id":9410,"fee":2,"name":"ZW1lbGk=","referrer":"BHc3Pxr4dCoXot/WTcwzCTTrPgXgCkHjno92kaHLghhkn+aF/iMdZU4L6YtJtAVHPf0Ql+Rb+GZBAjrSG66JRuA="}}

This signature string will expire after 100 blocks, so you need to register in time.

You should copy the whole json string, like this:

reg_account emeli 5 {"sign":"MEUCIAKl2/WNobZwqVx6YQHAsjwjyk57ygN+pTYzW1mLz19SAiEAt0qj7o9UAkKEVfPNK8bZozbZuOJ3517BTWCHqY4dseE=","sign_data":{"block_id":9410,"fee":2,"name":"ZW1lbGk=","referrer":"BHc3Pxr4dCoXot/WTcwzCTTrPgXgCkHjno92kaHLghhkn+aF/iMdZU4L6YtJtAVHPf0Ql+Rb+GZBAjrSG66JRuA="}}

But that sign string is expired, this is the new one:

{"sign":"MEQCIDfczbKUf8hUJ3mO5GN+V/s686jDj+yQG/5/Ed5EjH5KAiBNC8Amyhbj78z+z6+kmYUxQSiYEZ3sUr8ohUTbJHIbjg==","sign_data":{"block_id":9671,"fee":2,"name":"ZW1lbGk=","referrer":"BHc3Pxr4dCoXot/WTcwzCTTrPgXgCkHjno92kaHLghhkn+aF/iMdZU4L6YtJtAVHPf0Ql+Rb+GZBAjrSG66JRuA="}}

parse reg_sign failed, block_id is expired

The signature string will expire after 100 blocks, so you need to register in time, this is the new one:

{"sign":"MEUCIFW22c1GCyFTmRS00fMbyKHYl0JR1VhHfiz8I/q/RGUpAiEA048Kh22nNEJ4wWAdJc0P3q45SpGtTsh+DIIkcP1zqhc=","sign_data":{"block_id":9796,"fee":2,"name":"ZW1lbGk=","referrer":"BHc3Pxr4dCoXot/WTcwzCTTrPgXgCkHjno92kaHLghhkn+aF/iMdZU4L6YtJtAVHPf0Ql+Rb+GZBAjrSG66JRuA="}}

please generate a reference
user: pochy

This is the signed string:

{"sign":"MEUCIQC7bpti12gIffyes4rpN3tYS8/uKVIWydiZFJVCNRmF8gIgEcSEKtF8hJmj/7t8lEOyaPeYSSLFGec35AA5Kw0LFXo=","sign_data":{"block_id":9821,"fee":2,"name":"cG9jaHk=","referrer":"BHc3Pxr4dCoXot/WTcwzCTTrPgXgCkHjno92kaHLghhkn+aF/iMdZU4L6YtJtAVHPf0Ql+Rb+GZBAjrSG66JRuA="}}

then every 100 blocks you have to generate a new account ??

Not only me, all the users already registered can generate this registration string for new users.

in the reference that you send there must be something that is wrong because 100 can not pass in two minutes and my classmates pass it to me

In askcoin, the average block interval is about 20 seconds, so 100 blocks are equivalent to about 2000 seconds. In the registration string generated for you, there is a block_id field, which is valid as long as the difference between this field and the latest block id (or height) is not more than 100, You can query the latest block id (or height) through the block explorer: http://explorer.askcoin.me

this does not work xpirad

That signature string has not expired. You need to synchronize your Fullnode to the latest block before registering users. Please refer to:

https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin#miner

samolente tell me what I do wrong?

Hi, all,

If you want to be a miner of askcoin, before you register, you must synchronize with other peer nodes in the network. You can check the latest block height of your current full node by executing the 'info' command to compare with the latest block height of the whole network, or you can know the block height of your node by executing tail -f log/askcoin.log command.

Can you join our telegram group? Telegram can communicate more in real time:

what happened to your team members? why did you set up cartoons?

Do you care about our appearance, hehe? Our focus is on the project, not ourselves. I hope you don't rely too much on the official website. The idea of decentralization is contrary to the so-called official website. We prefer you to focus on the decentralized P2P network of askcoin. Our team is not fixed. The askcoin project is developed through remote collaboration. So we don't care about each other's looks. By the way, do you know what Satoshi Nakamoto looks like?

Askcoin's full-node network has been running steadily for 10 days without any problems, ^_^  ;D

One thing strange.


Still no source code.

It's not stange, the source code of askcoin's full node will be open after it has passed its infancy in order to protect its originality.

Now, Askoin is listed on Bisq (Decentralized Exchange)! You can buy or sell ASK coins on Bisq exchange.
Refer to the latest version of bisq (0.9.4):
https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/tag/v0.9.4

We promise that we will gradually donate ASK coins in our hands until the number of ASK coins we hold as a percentage of total supply is reduced to 10 percent or less.

Today, we decide to take the first step of our commitment: donate 50 billion ASK coins to the system's reserve fund account (all miners'mining rewards come from the reserve fund account). In askcoin, if you transfer to another account, the ID of the payee must be greater than 0, so we can't donate it by transfer, because the ID of the reserve fund account is 0, but we can donate it by another way: start a topic, set the amount of reward of the topic to 50 billion, when the topic expires (about a day), its balance will be transferred to the system's reserve account.

You can check this transaction by entering the following block hash in the block explorer's search box:

FYI:
  Because Askcoin is ASIC-resistant, so you can mine ASK coin directly with CPU without needing any pools.

How to mine askcoin

you need a vps with at least two cores. you can easily get a vps with 2 core on vultr for 20$/month https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7952801-4F with my reflink  u have 50$ free


go to https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin/releases
connect to the server and write :

mkdir askcoin
cd askcoin

Does currency have discord?

No discord, but you can join our telegram group:

Thank you for your support, let's work together to build the world's first completely decentralized communication and reward platform!

Hi, guys

Because the latest block height of askcoin is over 100k, synchronization of new nodes may take a long time.

In order to save synchronization time, I suggest that new miners can tell us in telegram that we can send the latest DB data directly to you through telegram, so that you can start mining immediately.

In fact, any existing node can provide it. Providing the latest DB data to the new node will not cause any security problems, because when askcoin starts up, its consensus layer will verify the local DB data and compare it with the current accumulated difficulty in the latest network. If the DB data you receive is wrong or malicious, it will be discarded or rejected by askcoin.

I just started the extraction of this coine I have to say and really well made an excellent idea go dev;)

Today, we made our sixth donation of ASK coins and donated 50 billion ASK coins. So far, 300 billion ASK coins has been donated. We promise that we will gradually donate ASK coins in our hands until the number of ASK coins we hold as a percentage of total supply is reduced to 10 percent or less.

You can check this donation by entering the following block hash in the block explorer's search box:

Q: What can I do to get ASK coin?
A: There are 3 ways to get it:

• After registering the account, you can import the private key into the mobile app and receive a reward by answering questions from others.
• Run the full node to mine and get the miner's earnings.
• Buy ASK coin through an exchange or person-to-person transaction.

askcoin remind me quora model in web and askcoin is for blockchain based application look like this project have great future

To whom did you donate your ASK coins? Should include also where you donated it and the reason why you give it to them? Because the coins might end up again to your coffer.

Not to someone, but to the reserve_fund account which is the one that pays all the miners. Also means that all our donations are ultimately for all the miners, you can refer to the top100 in askcoin (http://explorer.askcoin.me/top100.html (http://explorer.askcoin.me/top100.html)), at the top of the list is the reserve_fund account.

@Twinkledoe,

If you are familiar with C++ language, you can refer to the 'proc_topic_expired' function in blockchain.cpp file (https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin/blob/master/src/blockchain.cpp (https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin/blob/master/src/blockchain.cpp)):


When a topic expires, its balance will be transferred to the 'reserve_fund' account.

Today, we made our seventh donation of ASK coins and donated 50 billion ASK coins. So far, 350 billion ASK coins has been donated. We promise that we will gradually donate ASK coins in our hands until the number of ASK coins we hold as a percentage of total supply is reduced to 10 percent or less.

Today, we made our 8th donation of ASK coins and donated 50 billion ASK coins. So far, 400 billion ASK coins has been donated.
Now we have less than 10% of the total supply of ASK coins.

very good gogogo

Let's go,  ;D

In fact, You guys can post anything on askcoin platform, not limited to questions, answers,
there is no restriction on what can be published and no one can censor or block what you publish.

Hi guys,

If you want to run askcoin's full-node on Windows, you can install linux OS in a virtual machine such as VMware,
and run full-node in that environment.

Askcoin full-node v0.0.2 is released!
you can use merge_point feature now, it can save your disk space, also can significantly reducing synchronization time for new miners,
for more information, please visit the following links:

https://github.com/lichuan/askcoin/releases

The title of this topic is changed, because we plan to add event prediction and betting features to Askcoin, which can predict sports events or political events to reflect the actual probability of an event in real time. the event must be clear, no ambiguity, the final result of the event is either TRUE or FALSE, so the players can freely buy TRUE or FALSE to predict whether an event will happen, and finally the witness will publish the result, and each participating account will be settled by the system.

To be honest, I don't like centralized exchanges. They charge a lot of money and can decide when to delist a coin in any way they want. I don't think this is the direction that blockchain should go. Blockchain should give everyone a more free life!  So in the future, we may develop truly free de-centralized exchange on askcoin.

I think like you, these exchanges are just ruining the crypto market ... they only value those they like and not who they really deserve. if I can advise you in my opinion if you can make a simple game like slot or roulette where you can bet the ask you would really make a bang;)

Yes, we will add prediction and betting feature on askcoin, but we need to implement decentralized exchange on askcoin first.

From now on, the main site of askcoin will use HTTPS protocol to prevent man-in-the-middle attack, but the block explorer and registry string generator sites still use http, because http is faster, and these two sites do not involve package informations and links of fullnode and mobile app, so there is no factor affecting security. So, there are three sites for you to visit:

https://www.askcoin.me
http://explorer.askcoin.me
http://generate.askcoin.me

FYI:
   The reason why we want to develop a separate blockchain dapp is that we can't implement all its functions on the existing platform. For example, you can't implement a dapp like askcoin on the platform of Ethereum, because the mobile dapp is connected to the fullnode through websocket, when the block of the fullnode is reorganized or reverse, the mobile dapp also needs to deal with the corresponding complex logic which can't be controlled in detail on Ethereum. In addition, the nodes of Ethereum occupy a lot of disk space, so it's not easy for people to run its fullnode.

   We hope askcon will give people some thoughts on where the blockchain industry should go. Askcoin can also bring people real freedom, because it is a really valuable decentralized use case.

Now, for security reasons, all of askcoin's web addresses have been replaced with HTTPS.
You can safely access the following links:

https://www.askcoin.me (https://www.askcoin.me)
https://explorer.askcoin.me (https://explorer.askcoin.me)
https://generate.askcoin.me (https://generate.askcoin.me)

How do we know who to ask and whether they are capable of answering the question?

When you want to create a question, you need pay some amount of ASK as reward, when someone sees your question and replies to you, if you're satisfied, you can decide to reward that response, you can also decide how much to reward on each reply.

In the future, we will also develop a built-in decentralized exchange that will allow users to initiate P2P trade directly on the askcoin app

askcoin-merge-point-500000 is released, new miners can use this merge_point as the new starting point:

Have you guys researched who your competitors are?

Do Windows users can mine? If we can then how? I dont see it in docs.

You can install a linux virtual machine on windows, such as VMware.

No, don't care

For new users who have just registered, they have the opportunity to get a random number of free ASK coins to experience the various useful features of askcoin. New users can use these free ASK coins to ask questions, to reward, to transfer money, to answer other people's questions.

Hello is this by any chance related to the AskCoin DAG version? Also max supply is 1000 Billion, so is it 1 trillion total? Also will the Android Wallet be submitted to Google Play?

No, our askcoin uses POW consensus, not DAG.
they just happen to have the same name, they have nothing to do with each other, they are two different projects

At present, we release new version of askcoin on github website.

Due to the performance issues and complexity of the React-native framework, we plan to rewrite askcoin app with google's flutter for better modularity and performance.  ;) ;) ;)
