In the University by a friend 3 years ago.

Probably a cool project to learn about Bitcoin but not a good idea to store BTC in the longterm.

What an interesting concept. I wonder how many will write and then lose their Priv Keys or make bad investment in Altcoins and be mad about their initial post  Grin

This is just the normal up/down of the market, the bubble we're in is MUCH bigger and started 2-4 months ago.  When that pops it's going to be MUCH more dramatic than what we've been seeing the last few weeks with big gains and modest losses. 
Totally agree, we're in for a bumpy ride the next year.

OP has the time to reply to easy comments but have no time to explain how Nimiq is going to stop miners from writing optimised C code to mine nimiq instead of depending on a browser.

Sorry about that, we have been busy implementing some new features in our Betanet, probably missed your post.

Nimiq is designed to be Browser-based but not Browser-only. We want people to improve hashrates with custom clients. Even though is a cool feature, Browser-based mining is not the most important one in the Nimiq Network. We think the most important feature is that browsers can connect to the network and send and verify transactions without a trusted third party or installation of additional software.

A nice idea - but what's the algo? people will just make CPU and GPU miners instead of browser-mining it.

Indeed, that point need to be clarified.

Need answer to the above. This is not clear yet ya know.

The current PoW algorithm used by our Betanet is Sha256. We will switch to an ASIC-resistant proof-of-work as soon as possible. We are currently doing some testing and research, the final PoW will be memory-latency-bound and implemented in (or compiled to) WebAssembly, which reaches near to native performance in modern browsers. We are confident we will find a proper choice for our PoW algorithm, definitely before the Mainnet launch.

148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Easiest Ethereum Wallet To Use? on: June 08, 2017, 01:16:06 AM
Definitively MEW (MyEtherWallet) is the easiest ETH wallet to use.

That looks great! Is there any way to export the wallet?

Currently, just type Nimiq.get().wallet.keyPair.toBase64(); (cf. our API doc) in your Javascript console that you can open with F12

Be nice and send me some too.

Nimiq
The Browser-based Blockchain




 
Overview



As the first blockchain built as native to the web platform, Nimiq lowers that barriers to entry for blockchain technology and makes it significantly more accessible for the mainstream.


Current available cryptocurrencies are complicated to use and counterintuitive for the average person. Further decentralization is difficult if access to blockchain technology is limited to technically skilled people.



 
Nimiq is designed to be used by everybody


Nimiq is the only blockchain created and designed specifically for mainstream adoption.

Features of conventional blockchain that inhibit mass adoption:


  • Blockchain data around 100 GB, which means synchronization time could take up to an entire day
  • Software installation is absolutely necessary
  • At least 10 minutes for transactions and high cost in micro payments



Nimiq is designed with simplicity and mainstream adoption in mind:

Nimiq dramatically reduces the amount of download data required to sync by using NIPOPOWs and the mini blockchain scheme: Nano clients synchronize in seconds with any device that supports a recent Browser. Nimiq is written in JavaScript, which is the native language of the world wide web, so no additional software installation is required.

 


Nimiq Ecosystem


The Nimiq Protocol enables an easy-to-use ecosystem running directly in your browser without the need of installing additional software--in line with our vision of widespread accessibility and adoption.


Miner


The Nimiq Miner can be used by anyone with a modern browser. Browser mining pools provide a steady reward for devices with low hashpower. Installation packages are provided for Windows and Linux.

Safe


The Nimiq Safe is accessible by the web, including support for Ledger Hardware Wallets (in approval process).


Account Avatar


Account avatars (Identicons) help the user visually distinguish one account from another. Each account is identified by an IBAN-like account number that has the ability of detecting misspellings. Both features are designed to protect users from typos and scams.


 
Specifications

  • Block time: 1 minute (inspired by the results of "On the Security and Performance of Proof of Work Blockchains").
  • Total supply: 21 billion tokens divisible by 10⁵ resulting in 21e14 satoshis, identical to Bitcoin.
  • Block reward: Starting from 4405 NIM and decreasing in a curved fashion—inspired by Monero and Cryptonote—until 4000 satoshi have reached. The Remaining NIM will be rewarded in a linear fashion until the total supply.
  • Max Block size: 140 kB
  • Difficulty adjustment: Each Block.



Nimiq Non-Profit

As established and promised by the creators, there are two accounts vesting over 10 years with 2% and 2.5% respectively of total final amount of NIM:


Nimiq Foundation supporting the long-term financing of the Nimiq project:

Contract Number: NQ09 VF5Y 1PKV MRM4 5LE1 55KV P6R2 GXYJ XYQF

Contract Account Balance: 525'000'000 NIM


Nimiq Charity supporting projects of high social and ecological impact:

Contract Number: NQ19 YG54 46TX EHGQ D2R2 V8XA JX84 UFG0 S0MC

Contract Account Balance: 420'000'000 NIM

What I did.

I search for local crypto currencies usersgroups(telegram, whatsapp, forum and localbitcoins), from there was really simple, I found a guy who sold 350 dolars in ethereum, we did a face to face transaction and the next time, I bought a larger amount to the same guy, I only did bank deposit.

I pay a little more than in a exchange, but I get the peace of mind that a bank in not the one getting that fee and is other person from the cryto currencie community.
