Hello,
It would be so nice to see DigitalNote XDN at your pool. Pool is great and reliable.
We have a  miner inside the wallet and will point it to your pool too.
Also you have a cryptonight support with Monero, so it will be pretty easy to add XDN.
Thank you.

1. You should wait. Your wallet acts correctly and stays on good blockchain. 136218 height - is a height of good blockchain
2. we are investigating abnormal activity in blockchain. Looks like some pool, and looks like it is minergate.com didn`t made an DigitalNote upgrade.
3. http://duckpool.mooo.com:8080/#pool_blocks is the very very good pool, producing a valid and good blocks, because pool admin made all updates at time. Thank you very much, we will make a dev donation to you, as soon as we will solve all issues.

Block height 136212 is a Deposit Upgrade block height.

looks like chainradar did not made a DigitalNote update.
We will investigate this event, but everything is about update.
Please keep your updated pools running. Thank you.

ARe you using the latest DigitalNote XDN from the official repo?

https://github.com/xdn-project/digitalnote

Fist i must say - there is a "hard coded" value in Bitcoin about handling transactions. DigitalNote has no such a value, everything is dynamic. When network needs to produce a large amount of transactions, XDN will self organize itself to handle it. That digital duck is very smart.
I will provide some benchmarks and charts later, sorry for any inconvenience, but we are very busy with deposits and GUI update.   

He accepts a block with the transaction. It is 1 conf, but not 0-conf



The paper says that nodes "ban all blocks (blockheaders) with the last Nth stakeholders",  but that can happen only if they will discover such headers. Imagine:
All nodes are connected as bipartite graph (every "red" node is connected to a "blue" node, but there is no "red"-"red" or "blue"-"blue" connections)
Attacker sends different blocks to all red nodes, remember, there is no connection between red-red nodes, so red nodes relay blocks only to blue nodes. Each blue node will ban this header. But how can red nodes know about it?
We will need to implement some kind of alert system to avoid new DoS attack vectors. Can you ban the node for sending 2nd, 3rd, 4th ... block with the same header?

I don`t think that system with a user, who can create unlimited number of blocks "for free" will run perfectly.
Can see a problems here and solutions can cause new problems.
I think  that future DIgitalNote type of PoA implementation will have no such a treat.
Thank you for answers and your work, please, comment any possible issues with XDN PoA idea.

Absolutely nice to see such things around XDN. Much appreciate your efforts for XDN mass adoption. Thank you.

As for now you can make a deposit transaction with "the core" of XDN. There is NO deposit support in wallet yet. We will introduce deposits in wallets like DigitalNote GUI wallet in near days, we are working on that release now. Just wait a bit. Or if you are an experienced user you can make deposit transaction now with your own code.

 

What if the last stakeholder will send lots of valid blocks. Like he will connect to all peers and send them different, but valid blocks (the "cost" of this kind of action is comparatively low).
How they can choose the "right" one?

PoA stakeholder can pretty easy split the network and make a double-spend (?) :

1. he makes one  block with his own transaction to merchant and sends this block to the merchant.
2 immediately creates the second block with a double-spend transaction and sends it to other peers.
3. The first block will be orphaned with a high probability, so as merchant's tx.
So we are planning to return the ability of choosing the tx set back to PoW miner. Can you, please, comment it? Thank you.

Also much appreciate any other ideas to implement on the top of XDN blockchain and deposits. Now we are ASIC-resistant PoW with an original PoW initial distribution, but PoA will make XDN much stronger against 51% attack, but we should consider all options.

Dear XDN users, after DigitalNote announce XDN  hashrate increases every day. Now is is about 200 KH/s.
But i must remind you to switch and update an old duckNote and DarkNote daemons to a new DigitalNote daemons, because new features, like deposits are available only in DigitalNote core.

Miners, please update your software to a new XDN software - https://github.com/xdn-project

Thank you. Price correction is expected now and many times in future. We strongly believe it will go up dramatically with the expansion and mass adoption. Lower prices is good for any currency to be used. Low prices now gives a chance to buy for a new users and investors. Any way, as a developers, we don`t care about xdn/btc and xdn/usd. The goal is to have things work just with XDN - almost instant transactions protected by ASIC-resistant PoW and POA in future, micropayments, deposits (like a bank in blockchain), crypto messages, etc etc etc. We are making decentralized crypto with bank and all services on top of blockchain. With Proof-of-work, 1cpu1vote blockchain.

With XDN mining, with development help, with your ideas, all together we will push DigitalNote in masses. To be free, to avoid censorship of any kind, staying private, protecting your rights.

Thank you for your critique, but i must disagree.
First of all XDN can be barely called a clone, i mean now it is a mix of blockchain technologies, some was made from scratch, like crypto messages and deposits. Even the "core" of XDN was refractored with the DigitalNote release. Initially it was a fork of Bytecoin, but now it is hard to say if it is, because we merged so much staff from the original CryptoNote codebase. XDN core now has both bytecoin and cryptonote elements with the original XDN features like you can find on the official website or whitepaper http://digitalnote.org/whitepaper
The is no shame we can feel, truly, look what we made, look how bright it is, look how it can change the world.
We never waist time, our actions are measured accurately.
Some like duck, some like dark - everything here is not a "-", but "+".

In the hearts of early adopters and as a part of XDN History, you can always call it duckNote.  It is still here with us http://archive.ducknote.cc/ and always will be. duck never dies, duck is here, lives in XDN blockchain. Everything about XDN lives in XDN blockchain. Forever.

I understand your point, but DigitalNote is the last name here - end of the first year distribution. It is like a new coin with a constant block reward. We made blockchain deposits possible (first ever) to integrate POA (first ever). Think about XDN duck->Dark->Digital as a natural process of evolution, as a way we are going.

duck - to spread the initial hashrate that was pretty big with big rewards
dark - to spread XDN coin units and also the hashrate too
digital - ready for mass adoption, decentralized

DigitalNote made a 5th year Bitcoin route in 1 year, i mean XDN is even better coin for mass adoption in terms of blockr ewards, coin units count and of course DigitalNote features.

I want everyone to understand DigitalNote XDN block reward structure for miners:

Miners reward = Base_block_reward + fee

Base block reward = 150 XDN
Fee = average message fee = 1 XDN, so in case of 150 messages in 1 block, miners will have an additional 150 XDN.
DigitalNote cryptography is faster than Bitcoin and able to handle much more transactions per second, than  BTC.

Deposits. already implemented in core, but not PoA. PoA will be based on blockchain deposits, we are hard working on it. When done, DigitalNote will be the first cryptocurrency (not only first CN coin)  ever implemented Proof-of-activity in addition to Proof-of-work.

We will discuss PoA here and in other places.

Thank you.

Hi, i would like to introduce an approach we are (XDN-project dev team) going to implement on the top of DigitalNote XDN blockchain http://digitalnote.org & http://digitalnote.org/whitepaper.
1. We want to implement PoA in XDN, rather than PeerCoin PoS, because we consider PoA is safer. It is truly HYBRID protocol: we need both PoW and PoS elements to produce a block, so 51% attack is harder. Remember, XDN has an ASIC-resistant proof-of-work.
2. Original protocol doesn't suit for an anonymous CryptoNote transactions. So we had 2 options:
2.1. Research and develop the new PoA scheme for XDN. That is a long and unpredictable way.
2.2. Implement a useful blockchain based feature (called deposits) and then apply the PoA based on blockchain deposits. So we chose it and made blockchain deposits based on multi-sigs a part of DigitalNote XDN.
3. Now we have deposits (check https://github.com/xdn-project/digitalnote), now we are ready to implement Proof-of-activity. Before that we want to discuss PoA with all interested parties.
4. Also we noticed a possible problem with the original PoA. ONLY the "last" "stakeholder" can set transactions for a new block. When done, he signs and broadcasts a new block to the network. Seems nothing wrong here, but "last" "stakeholder" can produce as many valid blocks as he needs by changing transactions set. So he can split the blockchain and make a double spend. In that case we are planning to give a right of setting up a block to the Proof-of-work miners.
