We're currently struck on some development work on the core, hence all our attention is there at the moment, there will be a whitepaper for sure in sometime once we can sort out the current major issues.

The GUI wallet is finally out of beta, and stable release is ready to be used!

Xolentum GUI Wallet v1.0.0 - https://github.com/xolentum/gui-wallet/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Many of you had been waiting for this release ... go ahead and try it out. If you find any bugs, stop by #help or #suggestions on our Discord server and report it.

Also, we've gotten two new mining pools - GNTL and FastPool.XyZ - Let's get them some HR.

Cheers!

Keeping the server offline .. ? We currently have >320 members on our community server, so there's no idea to hide anything. Anyway, if you're speaking about the masked server invite, this is the invite - https://discord.gg/ryFJbzy - and https://chat.xolentum.org merely redirects to this invite. Since some people have problem with a masked invite, I'd append the raw invite to the OP.


You need rest then .. what else can help with your tired mind (and soul)? Well thanks for your wise shit, but that doesn't affect me, cuz yeah I already mentioned it you speak shit. "Secretly premined" - First off nice phrase, secondly, there's a reason the project is open-source - so that you can study and audit the codebase ensuring that no backdoors have been implemented by the Devs. To answer you straight, Xolentum was not premined - ambiguous? 1) There was no founder's reward included in the codebase. 2) The exact time of launch was announced before the mainnet was started, so neither did we mine the first few blocks. And ..  our project fund is out of user's donations, with a public view key and images of outgoing transactions so that the community is aware of where their donations are going.

"(exactly: a man who copied a code)" - Nice vocabulary once again :claps:. This shows that you've no knowledge of what you're talking about and all I said above is kinda Martian language to you. Anyway good luck with "yourself". On another note, Xolentum isn't a vanilla fork of Monero. We'll publish a blog post soon about what exactly are we planning ahead, after we are done with the current phase of development. You may read it (if Martian auto-translates well by then).

Hello everyone,

Xolentum v0.2.0.0 - Phantom Ghost is out!

The binaries have been made available with the new release - https://github.com/xolentum/xolentum/releases/tag/v0.2.0.0, and necessary instructions for installing (on Linux only) and verifying the binaries are in the release notes.

Please upgrade at the earliest. Do remember about the block reward reduction at 42K. :wink:

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

This is important, please note. At block height 42000, when 2.1M XOL will have been emitted, the block reward shall drop to 8, so yeah 50 -> 8.

Binaries for v2 will be out soon and there will be another announcement when it is.

Time to buck up and start mining! 

Hello everyone!

The Core Developers would like to have the community's opinion on how the block reward reduction should be done, and hence a poll has been started for the same.

This poll is also being conducted on our Discord server. Your opinion is important in this decision so please vote and let us know your opinion.

Kind regards,

I died laughing. You can be a good clown at a circus, don't you think?

Hello everyone,

Great News Incoming!

Xolentum got listed on an exchange! KuangEX has listed Xolentum for a XOL/USDT pair which goes live tomorrow.

https://www.kuangex.com/announcement/detail/69

A huge thanks to KuangEX, for listing us.

Happy trading!

Yes we did consider "yespower". However, yespower isnt as audited as RandomX. RX has many professional audits.


Won't say much on this ... honestly, qt sucks.

Thanks @rplant8


You misunderstood, Discord is actually telling you that you are on 100 servers which is the maximum servers one user can join. So you need to leave one server to join our server. Our server has 175 members at the moment fyi.

It's official and definitely important!!

Yeah you guessed it right. Xolentum's mainnet has launched!

The latest release is out, so is the block explorer. All details have been updated in the OP.

You can compile or download the compiled binaries and get started with mining! Let's see some awesome hash rate.

Thanks and cheers!

Hello everyone,

So the wait is finally over, it was a long one but worth it.

Xolentum's mainnet will be launched today approximately around 4 PM UTC.

There will be final release created a few hours prior to the launch, so that you can get the binaries and/or compile yourself.

Remember, Xolentum will be solo-mined until the RandomX fork at block 2113 (+60), hence no pools would be available during that time (approximately two days).

There will be another announcement soon after the mainnet has launched successfully, so be ready to start mining.

Cheers!

@dafuqss,

Yes correct. But it's here now. Actually we were waiting for the RandomX fork before releasing anything in case another bug was detected. But that wasn't the case. The chain successfully forked for v2 - RandomX at the announced block height (5203)

And so, here is the first release with all the binaries - https://github.com/xolentum/xolentum/releases/tag/pre-releaseV0.0.0.0

Hope that helps!

@CaVO32,

Well, firstly, I'm sorry if saying that we are students created a sort of impression that it's an experimental project (or that we are inexperienced). It's not the case. Xolentum is a project to be used in production environment. Even though we are students, we've done our research into crypto world and CPP programming in general before setting up such a project in this ecosystem. And besides, it was never said that all of us are students, only two of us to be specific, and the third person is quite experienced in this system, with core contributions to numerous other projects.

Agreed, Monero and ZCash may already offer the features we have to offer but yeah, we're here to innovate. As aforesaid, we are working on a service utilizing the coin at first. It's a futuristic genre card game, which will be quite interesting. And as far as trading is concerned it'll definitely be there, but gradually though. As soon as there's a service for our coin, primarily the game, we're sure users will appreciate and hence, we'll be able to get listed on a lot of exchanges with the mentioned pairs like BTC.

There's NO premine. And we have NOT been mining before posting this here. I guess you didn't read the OP properly, it clearly says that we are in  a public beta and running a testnet ONLY right now, because we want to identify and debug the codebase, so that it's almost perfect if not flawless when we start the mainnet few days later. The whole idea was to be fair to everyone and not be greedy about mining ourselves moreover, we didn't want to launch the mainnet all of a sudden and then face bugs in the initial phase and ultimately shut down.

So far, just to tell you, we've fixed two critical bugs in the codebase while running the testnet. First being a bug in peer discovery, where teh daemon wasn't able to automatically discover peers and you had to mention a priority node manually. Second, the RandomX fork never happened at block 2113 (+99) which was otherwise expected due to another bug, which has been detected and fixed too. The RX fork for the testnet has been postponed to block 5302 (two days later).

The explorer isn't there because we haven't setup the API for it yet, the frontend has been made though (ported from another project). It'll go live soon for the testnet.

And again, when the mainnet launches, everyone will be able to mine. No reservations for us in any way.

Regards,

@TimeTeller Yes, that's correct. The website isn't fully complete. If you go to pages like the "Services" one, you'll find that there are only a few example links which I added to test that the views are fine. Moreover, the block explorer isn't live yet, but it'll be shortly.

Also, you are correct. Sometimes projects which seem very trustworthy at the beginning don't turn out to be the same in the long run, Yet it's community support and user satisfaction that earns success to a project. Be rest assured that Xolentum won't be one of them.

Agreed that some things are just incomplete on our end, but again we are practically three Developers in the core team. The fourth one is our Brand Ambassador. And among us three, two of us (including me) are students. So we are not able to stay online everytime, but try to do our best to get everything done in time. We only have one other Developer other than us who is working on the game, and that is pretty much all on Dev side of the project.

Things will fall into place steadily, and I can promise that everything will be complete by the time we launch the mainnet (expectedly in the next 7-10 days).

For the whitepaper, we are working on it. We announced quite early as we wanted to run a public testnet, so that we can identify, debug and fix issues. I can assure you that before we launch the mainnet, all pending stuff shall be complete. That being said, it doesn't apply to the game which is in development and may require some more time to be completed since we have only one Developer working on it. It would be great if we find additional JS developers to contribute to it.

As far as real life pictures are concerned, the avatars are used to maintain uniformity. I and Sakura do not have any problem with publishing our identity on the web, in fact I've linked to my Facebook profile which has my real life picture and so does Sakura, on the website itself. However, the other two of them would like to maintain anonymity and our team respects that.

Our project is real and genuine, and of course my real life identity is public, hence you can be rest assured that this wouldn't be misleading anyway. If you want to know more about the project or have any questions in general, feel free to reach out to me or a member of our Core Team.

But why Xolentum ... ? Most of the existing cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, have transparent blockchains. This means that user's activity and transactions are traceable by anyone. With Xolentum that's not the case. Xolentum transactions are untraceable since the sending and receiving addresses, as well as transacted amounts, remain private.

Xolentum doesn't have a pre-mine, we do not believe in reserving funds for ourselves. Everything is fair and equal for all.

Xolentum uses Monero's industry-leading technology and we plan to follow them closely to stay ahead of the curve. Hence, Xolentum uses RandomX hashing algorithm, which means that it is ASIC resistant, and mineable only by CPU and GPU. Our main objective behind this is that the person mining even on the minimal hardware should not go unrewarded.

Xolentum has a 60-second block time, which means that not only transactions are secure, but fast too. Moreover, the network fee is very low.

It's a matter of extreme pride for us to announce that we are launching our public testnet today. Testing and debugging will go on for about a week, and then we will launch our mainnet.

We have already implemented CLSAG into our codebase, which significantly reduces the size of transactions.

We give equal importance to the use case of a coin. Hence, it's a pleasure to announce that we are also developing a game that will be using the coin. To make it cross-platform, we plan to have it web-based. It will be released shortly after the mainnet is launched.

We want to build an active community around our project. We already have a lot of users who know about the project and are showing a huge interest in it, and we wish it keeps growing forever.

Hope to see you all on our Discord server, which is our main community hotspot.
