Title: [PRE-ANN] STILL Protocol - The World's First MiniDAG

STILL Protocol

In recent years, the cryptocurrency space has partially lost focus on its primary purpose: creating a secure, decentralized, accessible and democratic currency that's both a mean of transaction and a store of value. Announcing STILL: a scalable, secure, decentralized, accessible digital currency protocol.

The STILL Protocol is an innovative cryptocurrency protocol built to scale: it is the world's first MiniDAG, a Proof-of-Work consensus system that abstracts work commitments, allowing a chain without orphan nodes where unnecessary data is pruned away; it effectively is the most scalable Nakamoto consensus to date. MIniDAG gives an immediate guarantee on the order of blocks and can handle sub-second block times.

The security will be provided by a Multi-Chain Proof of Work: STILL and its forks will be merge-mined and share the same hash-rate, mutually contributing to the protocol security even when the STILL emission will be low. Thanks to Merge-mining, STILL will also have a smaller carbon footprint compared to legacy "segregated" PoW blockchains. The mining algorithm, RandomSTILL, is based on the extensively tested RandomX mining algorithm, with a smaller CPU and memory footprint to enable faster verification of blocks.
STILL will be fair: the launch will be announced in advance, with no premine or masternodes. The development of the project will be funded with a 10% share of block rewards; this will eventually be reduced or completely removed once the protocol has reached stability.

STILL is written from the ground up in Golang: it is not a fork of any other existing project. You can read more detailed info about the technological features in the STILL documentation.

A significant amount of research has gone into developing the STILL emission curve.
