Hello PIVX Community,

We would like to share the new technology implemented by DASH  "Chainlocks" in our understanding we don't need to give to miners almost half of the block reward (45%) to secure the network. It enables us to incentivize other parties of the network.

We are testing new technology "CHAINLOCKS"  in order to try a different distribution of the block reward. which consists in:

10% MINERS
60% MASTERNODES
20% SYSTEM PROPOSALS
10% CHARITY PROPOSALS

We really appreciate the hard work of Dash Core-Team same as the PIVX community and we will let you know. How "chainlocks" works in practice within a small project..

Best regards,
Meraki Core-Team

These instructions cover installing Sentinel on Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04.
Dependencies

Make sure Python version 2.7.x or above is installed:

python --version

Update system packages and ensure virtualenv is installed:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y install python-virtualenv

Make sure the local MerakiCore daemon running is at least version 12.1 (120100)

$ meraki-cli getinfo | grep version

Install Sentinel

Clone the Sentinel repo and install Python dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/MerakiCore/sentinel.git && cd sentinel
$ virtualenv ./venv
$ ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Sentinel is "used" as a script called from cron every minute.
Set up Cron

Set up a crontab entry to call Sentinel every minute:

$ crontab -e

In the crontab editor, add the lines below, replacing '/path/to/sentinel' to the path where you cloned sentinel to:

* * * * * cd /path/to/sentinel && ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py >/dev/null 2>&1






Send a collateral:

Click Tools > Debug console to open the console. Type the following command into the console to generate a new Meraki address for the collateral:

getnewaddress
yiFfzbwiN9oneftd7cEfr3kQLRwQ4kp7ue

Now send exactly 1000 MERAKI in a single transaction to the new address you generated in the previous step. This may be sent from another wallet, or from funds already held in your current wallet. Once the transaction is complete, view the transaction in a blockchain explorer by searching for the address. You will need 15 confirmations before you can register the masternode, but you can continue with the next step at this point already: generating your masternode operator key.
........................................................................


Prepare a ProRegTx transaction

Debug console:

getnewaddress
yfgxFhqrdDG15ZWKJAN6dQvn6dZdgBPAip

getnewaddress
yfgxFhqrdDG15ZWKJAN6dQvn6dZdgBPAip

getnewaddress
yfgxFhqrdDG15ZWKJAN6dQvn6dZdgBPAip

Command:
protx register_prepare collateralHash collateralIndex ipAndPort ownerKeyAddr
  operatorPubKey votingKeyAddr operatorReward payoutAddress (feeSourceAddress)

Open a text editor such as notepad to prepare this command. Replace each argument to the command as follows:

1.collateralHash: The txid of the 1000 MERAKI collateral funding transaction
2.collateralIndex: The output index of the 1000 MEK funding transaction
3.ipAndPort: Masternode IP address and port, in the format x.x.x.x:yyyy
4.ownerKeyAddr: The new MERAKI address generated above for the owner/voting address
5.operatorPubKey: The BLS public key generated above (or provided by your hosting service)
6.votingKeyAddr: The new MERAKI address generated above, or the address of a delegate, used for proposal voting
7.operatorReward: The percentage of the block reward allocated to the operator as payment  (Leave it 0)
8.payoutAddress: A new or existing MERAKI address to receive the owner’s masternode rewards
9.feeSourceAddress: An  address used to fund ProTx fee. payoutAddress will be used if not specified. (find an address where you have some MEK for transaction fee)

Example command:

protx register_prepare "0123456701234567012345670123456701234567012345670123456701234567" 0 "1.2.3.4:1234" "Xt9AMWaYSz7tR7Uo7gzXA3m4QmeWgrR3rr" "93746e8731c57f87f79b3620a7982924e2931717d49540a85864bd543de11c43fb868fd63e501a1 db37e19ed59ae6db4" "Xt9AMWaYSz7tR7Uo7gzXA3m4QmeWgrR3rr" 0 "XrVhS9LogauRJGJu2sHuryjhpuex4RNPSb" "XrVhS9LogauRJGJu2sHuryjhpuex4RNPSb"

Output:
{
  "tx": "030001000175c9d23c2710798ef0788e6a4d609460586a20e91a15f2097f56fc6e007c4f8e00000 00000feffffff01a1949800000000001976a91434b09363474b14d02739a327fe76e6ea12deecad 88ac00000000d1010000000000e379580dcfea3eb6944bfbe1de5fa2317932e260acce4d9ff3ede 5f4287a34160100000000000000000000000000ffff2d4ce6ef4e1fd47babdb9092489c82426623 299dde76b9c72d9799f20ed1538e28259ff80044982372519a2e6e4cdedb01c96f8f22e755b2b31 24fbeebdf6de3587189cf44b3c6e7670ed1935246865dce1accce6c8691c8466bd67ebf12000019 76a914fef33f56f709ba6b08d073932f925afedaa3700488acfdb281e134504145b5f8c7bd7b47f d241f3b7ea1f97ebf382249f601a0187f5300",
  "collateralAddress": "yjSPYvgUiAQ9AFj5tKFA8thFLoLBUxQERb",
  "signMessage": "yjZVt49WsQd6XSrPVAUGXtJccxviH9ZQpN|0|yfgxFhqrdDG15ZWKJAN6dQvn6dZdgBPAip|yfRaZN8c3Erpqj9iKnmQ9QDBeUuRhWV3Mg|ad5f82257bd00a5a1cb5da1a44a6eb8899cf096d3748d68b8ea6d6b10046a28e"
}

Next we will use the collateralAddress and signMessage fields to sign the transaction, and the output of the tx field to submit the transaction.

We will now sign the content of the signMessage field using the private key for the collateral address as specified in collateralAddress. Note that no internet connection is required for this step, meaning that the wallet can remain disconnected from the internet in cold storage to sign the message. In this example we will again use Meraki Core, but it is equally possible to use the signing function of a hardware wallet. The command takes the following syntax:

signmessage collateralAddress signMessage

Example:
signmessage yjSPYvgUiAQ9AFj5tKFA8thFLoLBUxQERb yjZVt49WsQd6XSrPVAUGXtJccxviH9ZQpN|0|yfgxFhqrdDG15ZWKJAN6dQvn6dZdgBPAip|yfRaZN8c3Erpqj9iKnmQ9QDBeUuRhWV3Mg|ad5f82257bd00a5a1cb5da1a44a6eb8899cf096d3748d68b8ea6d6b10046a28e

II8JvEBMj6I3Ws8wqxh0bXVds6Ny+7h5HAQhqmd5r/0lWBCpsxMJHJT3KBcZ23oUZtsa6gjgISf+a8GzJg1BfEg=

Submit the signed message

We will now submit the ProRegTx special transaction to the blockchain to register the masternode. This command must be sent from a Meraki Core wallet holding a balance on either the feeSourceAddress or payoutAddress, since a standard transaction fee is involved. The command takes the following syntax:

protx register_submit tx sig


tx: The serialized transaction previously returned in the tx output field from the protx register_prepare command
sig: The message signed with the collateral key from the signmessage command

Example:
protx register_submit 030001000175c9d23c2710798ef0788e6a4d609460586a20e91a15f2097f56fc6e007c4f8e00000 00000feffffff01a1949800000000001976a91434b09363474b14d02739a327fe76e6ea12deecad 88ac00000000d1010000000000e379580dcfea3eb6944bfbe1de5fa2317932e260acce4d9ff3ede 5f4287a34160100000000000000000000000000ffff2d4ce6ef4e1fd47babdb9092489c82426623 299dde76b9c72d9799f20ed1538e28259ff80044982372519a2e6e4cdedb01c96f8f22e755b2b31 24fbeebdf6de3587189cf44b3c6e7670ed1935246865dce1accce6c8691c8466bd67ebf12000019 76a914fef33f56f709ba6b08d073932f925afedaa3700488acfdb281e134504145b5f8c7bd7b47f d241f3b7ea1f97ebf382249f601a0187f5300 II8JvEBMj6I3Ws8wqxh0bXVds6Ny+7h5HAQhqmd5r/0lWBCpsxMJHJT3KBcZ23oUZtsa6gjgISf+a8GzJg1BfEg=

Now wait 1 confirm.


Congrats! Welcome on board! You are a Meraki masternode owner! You have now a passive income, strong voice in Meraki community and a vote how to use Treasury funds. (20% Meraki proposals) and also (10% charity proposals)  
You are the one who can choose by voting YES or NO for proposal owners. Meraki Core team is building already UI for voting.
Stay tuned!

After 100 blocks you will get your first reward.  ~4h  And rewards are high because 60% of block reward is getting divided between all masternodes and at the moment there is not much masternodes yet but number is growing every day.

Mining difficulty low right now. Chance to get some coins.

for Solo miners:
https://github.com/coinfoundry/miningcore
Port 3052

Statistics:
https://pool.meraki.cash/stats.html

We have been taking all the questions and summarized them here.

1) Why the first launch failed?

Mistake 1 (We learnt from it)

When we launched the blockchain. We didnt know the blocktime wasnt 2.5 minutes but it was faster so it means we got more funds than expected. Everything happened in seconds and bunch of coins landed on the first miners (and us also, too many)

Mistake 2

We were in negotiations with Crex24 to be listed within 36-48 hours (in order to give access to everybody) not only miners. It did not happen and this was really vital to get not just miners involve since the early stage of the project but everybody! So what happened was that access was limited to only 1 miner who put the MNs up and try to take over the network.
There was a clear attempt to control the network and this will put in risk the whole project, community and investors. As our main purpose is decentralization we could not let this happen.
This miner had a chance to dump the project at any given chance.

2) Can we get a compensation?

We invested our hash power, human resources, time and energy from who will we get the compensation? We took the risk like everybody. We did not reach the exchange so nobody profit from it.
We will make Meraki work.

3) The "Re-Launch"

With this re-launch. We put all our mining rigs to support Meraki network and we got together 75k coins to insure the direction of the project. Today core-team is not mining anymore. There is no need as we can keep track of the project and we are live in the market.

4) Why Meraki Core-Team is holding 75 masternodes?

Meraki Core-Team has 75 Masternodes to lead this project to the right direction. We see that it is very important for core team to lead and grow Meraki until it learns to walk and then step by step we will decentralize the project as soon as Meraki will start walking on the direction of the roadmap. If we dont have the 75 Masternodes then the whole project will take a very different path. We are expecting around 6000 masternodes in the network and the Core-Team is not adding any more masternodes and the funds of the reward will be used for the network development.

5) Does Meraki core-team will have more than 75 masternodes?

No, we will not have more than 75 masternodes.

6) How Meraki will be decentralized?

Our calculations are expecting 6000 masternodes Core-team will hold 75 of them. While reaching the goals of Meraki development and road-map. We will liquidize what we need for development, as less as possible.
We will decentralize the project step by step as soon as Meraki will start meeting the roadmap plans.

7) Can I swap the old MEK to new MEK?

The main aim of our project has been mentioned many times and we did not promise people will be rich by mining.
So it is an economically decision people made - an investment - and by external factors something happened and people couldn’t get what they wanted (a cheap coin to mine)   The correction was made immediately to minimize any negative implication that it could arise.  This project still working and will be working.

We are open to keep responding all upcoming questions but please join our telegram group so we can have a proper bridge of communication.

Best regards,

Meraki Core-Team

No, we are not adding any more MN's. We are using the masternode rewards to grow Meraki network.  
So now, its not just miners, but also investors who can join the network. There is a chance for everybody to join as we are live in the exchange


We are collecting all the questions about 1.st (failed),2nd Meraki launch and future plans and we will answer them all together in one post.  We are on it.
Stay tuned!

Best,
Meraki Core-Team

We are preparing a big post with all the answers for the questions posted.

Announcement!

Meraki Core Team is owning 75 Masternodes to lead this project to the right direction. We have invested in this project very big amount of energy. We see that it is very important for core team to lead and grow Meraki until it learns to walk and then step by step we will decentralize the project as soon as Meraki will start walking on the direction of the roadmap. If we dont own the 75 Masternodes then the whole project will take a very different path. We are expecting around 6000 masternodes in the network.

Thank you for the Masternodes who joined us already and who still believe in Meraki!
We will do this together!

Kind regards,
Meraki Core Team

Thank you saltpool. We are preparing some news explaining why all of this happened.
