Thank you kiklo, you are a star. Why I never thought to ask for this I have no idea.

Very busy doing stuff to secure my winter life without having to resort to dumping coins or *shudder* go back to work ...
Like all great stories, there may be trouble ahead .. Let's face the music and dance .. Smiley

Hope to arrange a meeting with the professors .. four of them and talk about coins probably next month, or early next year. We've managed to cook up a great dev team and bringing in new people to crypto, mostly IT folks so it's good. Except they are busy and lazy in equal measure ...

We call it "blazy", it's a way of life...  Grin

All great engineers are lazy, why else would they make things to avoid dong them again? Cheesy

Looks like one final alt push, looks like some more money got hacked and added to crypto. We may be looking at January BTC pump after all.

There is more than one way to skin a cat ... or for a cat to get down stairs Cheesy



That cat moves like an Otter! But then, I call Otters "Water Cats" so I guess it fits...

I agree that the anon fad isn't over. However with ZCoin and ZCash I'm not sure we can complete unless we use Zero knowledge. Anonymous broadcasting is better than almost all anon except for the top ones (SDC, Monero, Nav, Zcoin, Zcash)

Anon broadcast has very few flaws. People can only exploit Bitmessage in that example.

However it takes time to do POW in Bitmessage and then you have to wait and see if your transaction gets in the chain. From an engineering standpoint, it may not be worth it to sidetrack when we already have so many great features.

I say let's get the important templates done get the API done and of course finish pegging. Then we see what doors open.

Absolutely agree David, lets stay the course and get these features done as planned. Not every coin has to specialize in being anonymous, there are many other features that are desirable. In fact, the anon functionality, in my opinion, is a niche and not necessary for success and wide spread adoption.

Just another troll perhaps?



no.



 if we wanted to troll after the latest fork we would have posted something like...


"isn't it about time this is changed?"  in refrence to the mention of being secure on the vericoin website.
as others did.


and we have very much grown tired of being called a troll by those that are terribly ill-informed.


Read the following to understand why this happend (forks and the stake of 1.7 million coins). It wasn't intentional if that is what you are implying. Network was just following protocol.


the action was either malicious or careless and we are not sure which is worse. which ever it was we feel there is more to this story...




... didn't recieve email from you on vericoin@vericoin.info seems like you don't want it to be fixed...

an issue such as veribit sending vericoin to address' that has been stated are not veribit address' is an issue that should be discussed here in public for all to be informed of. and as such an issue we have provided enough information here to have one of the many failed veribit transactions resolved. when that transaction is resolved then we will move on to the others.


nor is this is the first time contact has needed to be made for veribit. and if emails need to be sent everytime to fix a problem with veribit then that is a problem to us for our usecase and the vrc might as well be kept


Ok, lets suppose for a moment you are not trolling and you have a legitimate issue. Did you take advantage of the information offered to help correct the situation, contacts, etc?

And if there is a real problem, I'm sure they will assist you with it if you followed their advise in the previous posts. I have found this team very helpful and not afraid to admit if there is a problem.

if your definition of solid is forks and the "accidental" generation of 2million coins... then yeah the tech is solid.

Read the following to understand why this happend (forks and the stake of 1.7 million coins). It wasn't intentional if that is what you are implying. Network was just following protocol.

Quote
Background:

The VeriFund wallet was crashing every day due to a high number of inputs. Each address has a balance of coins made up of various inputs. If, for example, you sent 1000 VRC to address 1, and you staked, the 1000 VRC would be split into two new inputs of roughly 500 + 1/2 stake each. The reason input splitting is used in various forms of PoS is to distribute coins into roughly equal amounts. If someone holds 100,000 VRC and their VRC is split into 1000 different inputs of 100 VRC each, even a holder of 10,000 VRC with 100 inputs of 100 VRC will be competitive. This helps keep the flow of stake blocks steady with predictable block times and rewards.

Splitting is not enforced at the protocol level, and in fact, it is not necessary. However, a wallet without splitting enabled will stake unpredictably and total long-term interest will likely be lower.

Unfortunately, since the VeriFund Endowment wallet (VFEndownxxnHea9mv59kZx8c7TysGbndYx) held a large quantity of VRC, the stakes split into thousands of inputs. This caused a number of problems. One major issue is the abundance of inputs to send large quanties of coin (for example, if we wanted to use the endowment interest to fund a new block explorer) prevents sending without coin control. Instead, meticulous input selection is necessary to send coins without erroring due to transaction size. This high transaction size due to the many splits additionally bloats the blockchain. The bloat is insignificant for normal wallets with under several hundred thousand VRC, but for the VFEndow wallet with almost 2 million, it was detremental.

Not only did inputs cause issues with sends, but they also caused the wallet to crash due to high memory utilization. With the goal of running the endowment wallet on a low-power system such as a Raspberry Pi, it would never be possible. In fact, running on an Intel I7-3770k with 16 GB of ram was not enough after a month of staking and splitting without manually recombining inputs using coin control.

What happened:
After weeks of discussion between Doug and I, it was decided that we should attempt to improve the splitting system. Instead of targeting splitting according to the original code when the following condition was met:

if ((nWeight < nStakeSplitAge) || ((nCoinWeight/nAverageStakeWeight) < nStakeSplitWeightFraction))

where nWeight is the age weight of the coin, nStakeSplitAge is a constant of 2592000, representing the number of seconds in 30 days, nCoinWeight is nWeight (age weight) * nCredit (coins), nAverageStakeWeight is the average stake weight of the past 60 blocks (roughly 1 hour), and nStakeSplitWeightFraction is 0.35 or 35%

the new target in versions 1.6.5.2-1.6.5.4 was simply

if (nWeight > nStakeSplitAge)

According to the original conditions, if the coin weight was lower than 1 month's worth of age, it would split. Additionally, if your coins made up less than 35% of the network stake weight, they would split.

When splitting is not occuring, the coin attempts to collect inputs so that the minimum size is 5000+ per input. Unfortunately, since it was now much harder to split, many inputs from almost every staker instead combined to be greater than 5000. An example of this occuring is in block 1415038: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/vrc/block.dws?1415038.htm. In this case, 57 inputs that would normally be able to stake independently were combined to create one new input.

What immediately happened after the release of 1.6.5.2 was users on that version started combining inputs and burning massive coin-age due. Since both inputs were significantly reduced, especially among long-term stakers who have been continually staking and thus had the smallest inputs, suddenly there were not enough inputs to consistently stake. The block time started slowing considerably and due to the now-burned coin-age, interest rates shot up to ridiculous amounts.

As reference, the equations defining the inflation rate and interest rate are as follows:

inflationRate = (17*(log(nAverageWeight/20)))/100

where nAverageWeight is the average stake weight of the previous 60 blocks

interestRate = ((inflationRate*INITIAL_COIN_SUPPLY)/nAverageWeight)*100
where INITIAL_COIN_SUPPLY is the original PoW distribution of 26751452 VRC

Since both coin-age was burned in combining inputs as well as not enough inputs existing to have 60 second block times, the VRC chain had to accept blocks with low weight reducing the nAverageWeight down to very low amounts-- amounts unseen previously. Due to the log scale of the inflation rate calculation, this caused interest rates to exceed even 2000% APR in certain instances.

A quick series of patches was made by Doug to change the splitting formula to apply when nWeight < nStakeSplitAge with a new definition of 259200, or the number of seconds in 3 days (1.6.5.3), and trying to reduce combining inputs to 1000 VRC instead of 5000 VRC (1.6.5.4), but it was too little, too late.

In certain cases, splitting was occuring in the same block as the stake causing the coin-age to be insufficient after splitting to create that stake. In this case, nodes that accidentally staked a block improperly in this method were banned from other nodes. This caused forking to occur.

Another change was made in 1.6.5.2 in order to attempt to speed up syncing of new wallets. At startup, previously the last 500 blocks were checked. Now, only 10 were-- a change made in other coins that have been shown to work well. This change did not negatively impact VeriCoin and did indeed speed up startup times.

The other significant change unrelated to splitting was increasing the broadcast of blocks to new nodes. Previously, 2000 blocks were sent at a time. This value was increased to 40,000. In addition, 8000 block headers at a time were broadcast before, now 80,000. The added strain of attempting to seed nodes with many times more blocks at once caused 32-bit systems, and 64-bit systems with less than 8 GB of ram to crash due to the large number of blocks in memory for distribution.

Ultimately, both changes to block distribution and stake splitting were untested prior to release. This was a poor decision, but one made with the expectation that they would not cause any issues. Unfortunately, the fact that many clients were forking due to splitting issues, the reduced inputs able to stake, and crashing due to block distribution caused the network to break into many forks and catastrophically increasing interest rates during the splitting. Thankfully, the vast majority of high-interest stake was on the VeriFund Endowment wallet which we control and can determine the fate of. We will be seeking opinion on what to do with the funds with the most obvious options of destroying them, or staking them in perpetuity in the endowment.

The road ahead:
We have reverted 1.6.5.2+ splitting code back to 1.6.5.1 so users will have more small inputs to stake with rather than few 5000+ VRC inputs. The system worked well for most users before. We may need to create a specialized wallet for the VFEndow wallet in order to prevent crashing, but it should be a limited release just to handle splitting on that particular wallet.

In addition, we have also reduced block distribution back to 2000 blocks and down to 10,000 block headers (up from 8000 but down from 80,000 in 1.6.5.2). This wallet release is numbered 1.6.5.5.

The longest chain was found to be on an unupgraded 1.6.5.1 wallet and was used to bootstrap a new supernode (supernode.vericoin.info -- still without central checkpointing) to help users get on the main chain. In addition, new bootstraps will be created and made available on a regular basis to help reduce the number of forks in the wild.

Future patches will be tested first internally before release. Since Doug and I no longer work physically next to each other, and I have graduated and started working with less free time, our communication was sub-par and the release was not properly vetted before it was published. We will work extremely hard to ensure this does not happen again.

The faith of the large stake was brought to a Community vote and those coins got burned.

It might indeed. I support the whole anonymous thing for one reason, the powers that be have no right tracking what I do on line or off. If you think about it, why should anyone have the power to track what you do, where you go and what you spend your money on in the "legal" marketplaces as well? This is where credit cards and banks fail us, our lives are traceable by where we obtain and, spend our money and this is wrong. Suppose I don't want to be tracked so I can be marketed to like a source of revenue, what options do I have? Anon crypto and cash, that's about it and personally, I'll take crypto every chance I get...

Is it possible to mine for Komodo, KMD, on the mainnet?

If you are a notary node yes. You could also mine them without being a notary node but difficulty will be much higher.

So the algorithm will be like the Zcash one? Equihash?

I guess there won't be any point in mining if you are not a notary node?

Correct.

So it is a round robin for the notary node themselves. So the chosen 1 will have a very low diff, other nodes will have a higher one. Normal miners will have a even higher one. So even though blocks can be mined by others than the selected node, it is probably not worth the work or hashing power.

Wouldn't you agree that all depends on the opening value and acceptance as well as the difficulty? If the price raises at a higher rate than the diff it might just be worthwhile no?
