From what I understand of mimblewimble is there are no records kept

There are no records kept in the *blockchain*. But every full node receives all the intermittent states of each transaction, and there is nothing stopping them from logging that information. It requires some credulity to think there are no interested parties who have logged Grin from the genesis block.

A self-pruning blockchain does not equate to a fungible blockchain.
Exactly! That's my understanding too. With some full nodes running you can store/trace transactions the same way as Bitcoin blockchain. Grin is not fungible/privacy coin.

Do you have a link that supports your assertion that Grin Full Nodes do indeed (by default?) keep this information?

BTW what about the other MW clones?

It doesn't matter if it's collected by default, am interested party can record the entire history of the network. I think they all/both operate essentially the same, re: beam et al.

"Solo Mining Pool" is an Oxymoron.

It's not really. For one thing, until recently you had to setup a private pool if you wanted to GPUs mine anyway, which isn't the most straightforward thing to do for a lot of people I'd guess. But more importantly you want a very well connected node broadcasting your blocks, otherwise you're going to lose more blocks to orphans than you would end up paying fees to a solo mining pool.

Yes you can setup your own pools to solo mine but this is just a pool that named itself solo. It can be argued what the context of "pool" is in each instance whether pooling ones resources alone is solo yet pooling them collectively is not as is the case here.

How It Works?
It's solo mining pool.
Each miner works independently.
The block reward goes to the miner who found it.
Block search time depends on your hashrate and luck.

Zano is built on the same guts that Monero is. Or are you saying that you are part of the Cryptonote team?
427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Zano on: April 29, 2019, 12:20:26 PM

I wouldn't be holding your coin since 2016, if i didn't see value in it, but 20% is too much. If am wrong about your financial gains from boolberry, then i apologize but i still think that 20% is excess.

I would agree with you 5 years ago (when I was just 1 year expirience in blockchain development).
Now, after I've seen all this interesting and finally dead projects, after I personally spend years for building technology I strongly disagree.

Anyway, I respect your position, just wanted to ask, can you please give an example of the successful alive project which did develop their code themselves and doesn't have premine.
Wondering, how they got listed during past 2 years on any of the top 30 exchanges where listing fees are 100k$+
I don't mean old times when Boolberry got listed on Poloneix for free without even my request, I talk about present time.

(Please don't put as example Bitcoin)


Monero obviously. Yes they started with cryptonote but they have diverged significantly, adding lmdb, ringct, bulletproof, etc.

A more recent example with truly ground up development would be Grin.

Also Bitcoin Tongue

Anyway, I think Grin is the example that meets your criteria the best.

Someone should make a study of all the 1000s of shitcoins correlating their overall success in terms of market cap and social media activity versus the percentage premine...

I'll take a quick stab at it I guess:

CoinPremine %Mcap (Billions $)Social score (Gecko)
Bitcoin09386
Eth7016.668
Ripple10012.563
Bcash~14.772
Litecoin04.560
EOS1004.556
Binance1003.263
Tether1002.815
Stellar1001.957
Cardano1001.860
TRON1001.667
Monero01.159
Dash300.9653
Tezos1000.7945

So...I guess...if you're gonna premine you might as well do 100%

The wownero game was fun, but I'd really like to hear some info on the state of RandomX implementation.

I'm excited to see what this algo can do

The code is being finalized by tevador et al. I think the plan is to have it frozen by end of the month. Then we also will need updated pool and miner software, but if I had to guess probably looking at June or July time frame.

......

Lol so prickly. What is the argument for not just keeping 1:1 swap open for an indefinite or years long period?

Also, I wish I lived under a rock - bat cave living sounds pretty nice, probably save a bundle on heating and cooling costs.

Anyway, 20% premine is pretty bold move. You can say what you want about Monero, but they have managed to retain the top spot among privacy coins without any premine. Zcash has an effective 10% premine, maybe 13-18% depending how you weight their taking 20% in first four years. This isn't 2014 and I understand premines have become somewhat more acceptable in the age of ICO-scams and its aftermath, but I think there is probably a strong overlap between folks interested in privacy coins and those interested in a fair launch. Maybe I'm wrong, we shall see.

Hi jwinterm!
First of all - thank you for your interest to my work!

Regarding premine just want to mention - you never know how the current leader of Monero would launch this project(if he had a chance), because as you know Monero was not launched by him.
I mean - it was given without premine, and it was taken "as is" - with the running network, with the cryptography, with codebase,  with the privacy philosophy.

So, I wouldn't put this as good an example for comparing.



Given that Monero was always seen as Boolberry's closest "competitor" or whatever, I think it's the most apt comparison, especially since this appears to be Boolberry_v2. What do you see as the more appropriate comparison?

Anyway, I just think 20% is a lot, especially since I assume that 20% could then be compounded via staking, but I guess if you're going to do a premine you might as well not do it half-assed.

Another difference in supply between Boolberry and Zano is a 20% premine reserved for the team as compensation for years of project development as well as an incentive for future work and R&D efforts. The team recognized that Boolberry fell short in this regard, leading in part to its lack of success.

Yea, that's why Boolberry never came close to being as popular as Monero - because it only had a 1% premine not a 20% premine. Totally makes sense.

I don't have any boolberries anymore, but I think it's also kind of arbitrary and capricious that the first swappers over the first few months will be rewarded more generously than people later on (not too mention just totally screwing people who don't swap in the first year). Why reward people for closely monitoring the shitcointalk forum?

Boolberry didn't have a premine, it has a 1% dev tax on mining which is optional(AYWK).  This was never going to be enough to sustain world class developers and keep them motivated, what was developed early on in boolberry was leaps and bounds better and faster than was happening on monero(nothing).  So yeah makes sense if you want to keep good development.

Oh we know you don't have any boolberry you tell us every time you come to spout here to spout, last time it was the name iirc.
How is anyone going to be screwed over? Quite the opposite in fact, boolberry will continue to exist and be maintained incl any updates that are possible to be implemented coming from zano, on top of that the supply will  be reduced 1:1 for every coin that is swapped over to zano.  Wink
"Why reward people for closely monitoring the shitcointalk forum?"  Twitter, medium, discord & TG??? Maybe you live under a rock JW?

Really? The OP publishing day is April 25, 2014, 12:38:50 AM, so I think that there is something incorrect here. Maybe you say about anniversary of Monero for its fifth year one week before its birth day. Or Monero actually launched earlier than 25th April of 2014, but the project published its announcement in the forum several days later (one week later its launch day on 18th April 2014)? Can you spend a little time to confirm the exact launch day of Monero main net, please.

It began life as bitmonero for a few weeks. See here:

Is there a problem with the WOW website?

Apparently yes. I'll try to take a look at it tonight...

Edit: fixed, just needed to restart apache. In the next couple weeks sometime all of the websites will be down briefly as they are migrated to new servers, btw.
436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network on: April 16, 2019, 12:22:12 PM
What's wrong with Decred? Half of the coins are already being staked, but the holders left that have coins that can be traded are selling them during rallies. Why?

There's still pretty large emission to miners, and there's just much less speculators in the market to create demand than there was 12-24 months ago.

@bigslimvdub. That is a better update than your last state of Aeon. It is also very good to see that you understand the issue and that you have responded well.

Also, Asic resistance is not unsuccesful only to cryptonote coins, but to all cryptocoins.

Eh, I tend to agree with you, but overall that is still tbd - it seems to be working out ok for ETH and XRP at the moment...

Ethereum and Ripple? You are either serious because you do not know anything or bad in being sarcastic hehehe. However, jwinterm knows everything there is in the cryptospace. It might also either be a bad joke or a hacked account.

Can anyone ask jwinterm in Reddit or Github if he made that reply?

It's really me. Ethereum has allowed GPUs to remain on their network while maintaining the second highest marketcap and emitting quite a lot of coins. The ASICs that have come along are only 2-8x more efficient in terms of power, from what I understand. They're also planning to switch to ProgPOW which will buy them some more time of even smaller efficiency gains by ASICs in the near term, afaik, ahead of their switch to PoS.

Ripple is #3 by valuation/marketcap, whatever you think of that metric, it's quite commonly used, and I'd say they're doing quite well at resisting ASICs.

I don't really think ASIC resistance is a worthwhile endeavor, in terms of the mental and emotional resources it requires as well as the generally added complexity it brings, but that isn't the same thing as saying that ASIC resistance is always unsuccessful.

Any updates to Roadmap ? Smiley

I think the only actual thing that people seem interested in at this moment is putting RandomX on Wownero main net and see if it falls apart. Besides that get the lightwallet working again and keep up to speed with Monero.
