I am sure he can handle the complexity and make up for the initial ****up.

shit i tried that one before also.. Wallet failed to connect to daemon... Is this a firewall issue?

I am willing to buy 50K EC for .15btc, up to 1 BTC worth. PM me if interested. Open to negotiation.

Its not the fact that you started something that is the problem. The problem is the absolutely blatant plagiarism in your announcement. You could have tried harder, seriously. Unless it really is your first day here.

There isn't any reason to reduce the 10 EC inflation rate. Over time, the fixed reward will represent less and less inflation.

I don't anticipate anyone on the team embracing masternodes. We don't see a use for them unless someone can make a very compelling case.

It's not clear how a community is going to implement anything it votes for. How do you see that working?

I like it!
And what do you think on increasing coins limit for masternode? Cause at the end of big blocks, even if 1/3 of all coins will be in masternodes, we'll have more than 700 MNs. To have decent profit from MNs you'll have to hold tenths of them! That means many VPS'es and much confusion.
Maybe 20-30k DNET for 1 MN is better?

I also never liked reducing the max coin supply for the sake of making it more rare.
So this new propoal DOES NOT reduce the number of coins during PoW. Just longer.
Let me know how this sounds. I have not submitted this yet. Just throwing out ideas.

New Proposal

Proposal Name = 50BlockPoW
Proposed Change: Variable PoW block reward reducing by 80% after block 86400.
Reason = It promotes a more stable growth due to less daily inflation & longer PoW for better distribution.
Total Coin Supply During PoW Phase: 64,800,000 (SAME!)
Vote Duration: Approx. 10 days (Until block 59200)
Effective Date: Approx. 19 days after vote end. (Start block 86401)

Blocks 1 - 86 400 (56 days)
POW reward: 250 DNET
Total supply: 21 600 000

Blocks 86 401 - 950 400 (600 days)
POW reward: 50 DNET
Total supply: 64,800,000

The end block is actually half way through the budget period after the proposal, so the payment will already have been made by then. You can't change the end block.

For proposals that are intended to gauge support for ideas you can set an arbitrary end of voting in the description of the proposal, as long as it is not ridiculous short, like a few days or less, we will honor it.

You can't delete proposals, and Masternodes only get one vote each per proposal, but you can change your vote back and forth as many times as you like.

If you make new proposals, following similar reward structures, just with changes a bit more in the future, and PM me your address I will refund the cost of your initial proposals as my way of saying thanks for doing your part. I would suggest making the changes in reward coincide with budget blocks, so every 43200 blocks, and start at block 86400, that way the budget for the month would be easier calculated. If the reward changes in the middle of a budget period, and the budget is 10% of the rewards for that period it is not as straightforward coming up with the total budget for the month. It wouldn't be that much more difficult, but I like to keep things as simple as possible.

I still don't like the idea of changing the rewards, it really feels to me like people trying to profit from an early investment. Not that I don't think that is a reasonable expectation, but everyone got into this coin knowing ahead of time what the coin roll out would look like for the initial 6 months. I feel the whole "lets cut the number of overall coins" debate stems from a place of greed, not just what is best for the coin. I don't see the difference between 32 million coins at 2k sats and 64 million coins at 1k sats, you still have the same market cap. I hold a substantial pile of coins, and stand to have my holdings worth more with fewer coins, but that is not what I am really here for. Sure, I would like to monetize my time invested in this project at some point, but I am also interested in creating something new, sustainable, and innovative.

My understanding is this is an announcement forum.  Is it customary to link every thread that exists about a coin?.

Any exchange for that crypto?

Nice dump guys
I suggest you to go .000010 before i'll slowly buy <.000020 wall
Any ideas?

nice.  one step closer to exchanging.

We are going to go through the process in due time. First you get on small exchanges for price discovery and distribution. Then you go on big exchanges. There is no rush here. Miners can get out early at a smaller exchange with some good profit. And believers can hold for bigger exchanges or implementation of roadmap features.

We won't put the cart in front of the horse.

We are going to put some website content up within the day. For now, the community should start to try to help us get on yobit or bleutrade.

In the meantime, here is a block explorer with rich list: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ec/

Yes. We are working on all this. We are still nailing down the following:

1. Finalize branding, logos, etc., pay the bounty
2. Add enough Website Content to satisfy exchanges
3. Block explorer (probably fairglu's) -- this much of the list will get us on yobit and/or bleutrade
4. We need to decide on where to host the Qt wallets so we can track downloads (not mediafire)
5. Finalize the medium-term development road map
6. Get the whitepaper finished (post bleutrade/yobit, pre bittrex)

It seems like a straightforward list, but we have multiple devs and we have to reach consensus about every little thing.

Once we finalize all decisions, we should proceed through the list pretty fast, although we will pace 4 & 5 to ensure we spend enough time at the smaller exchanges before we move to the larger.

RaiBlocks places transactions in to ledger on an individual basis.  This removes the concept of block intervals, block sizes, and all the other complicated parameters that destroy scalability.

The fact that $G$ = $aG^*$ is but a little lemma whose proof that I found in the margins of my notebook.

I will use the additive notation, since this is what is used for Elliptic Curves, but it's just a convention.  Multiplicative notation is just as fine.

Lemma *:  Let $K$ be a cyclic group of order $n$.  Let $G$ be a generator of $K$, i.e. $<G> = K$.  Then, $\forall H \in K \exists a \in \{0, \dots, n-1\}$ such that $aG = H$.

Proof:  Assume $K$ is a cyclic group of order $n$ and $G$ generates $K$ and let $H \in K$.  By definition of cyclic groups, since $G$ generates $K$, there exists an integer $a \in \{0, \dots, n-1\}$ such that $aG = H$.  -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_group . 
Q.E.D. of Lemma *.

Now, since the elliptic curve that is secp256k1 is a group whose order is a prime, then it is a cyclic group.  This is because all groups that have prime order are cyclic -- for a proof, see : http://planetmath.org/proofthateverygroupofprimeorderiscyclic.  For some clarification that secp256k1 has prime order, see : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38108/order-of-group-of-points-of-secp256k1 and the answer by Akater which references the documents defining standard curves, for instance SECG -- http://www.secg.org/sec2-v2.pdf -- to which secp256k1 belongs.

Therefore, by (*), $G = aG^*$ is true.
