hi.. i have download IDENA for windows but don't sync block. it is block at 606121 out of 608582

Can you help me?

Please update the node version 0.14.3

Quote from: frcat on December 09, 2019, 10:12:10 AM

So is this CPU or GPU mining? Satoshi did Bitcoin in the same way and only in several years people made Asics for mining. So here also would be able to mine with asics in some time... whats sense in this coin?

Satoshi did Bitcoin based on 'one CPU=one vote' principle. Idena introduces 'one person=one vote' rule. There is no GPU/Asic mining.
Idena blockchain is driven by a proof-of-person consensus. Every validated participant has an equal voting power in the network to produce blocks and validate transactions.

IDENA VIDEO EXPLAINERS NEEDED

Idena newcomers need video explainers on how to become a validated participant in Idena.

Requirements
- It should be a video 1.5–3 minutes long.
- The video should include the Idena validation ceremony.
- The video should have text or audial explanation in one of the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Korean, Croatian, Portuguese, Turkish.
- The video should be published on YouTube.
- The links should be shared before 11:30 UTC December 18, 2019 via any public channel: Telegram, Twitter, Reddit, Bitcointalk, Discord.

Idena will award up to 10 prizes of 1000 DNA each. One video in each language category that has the largest number of likes on YouTube by 13:30 UTC December 18, 2019 will receive a prize.

The prizes will be given at the Idena team’s sole discretion for videos that the team finds worthwhile.

Depends on the teams credibility and ability.

What credibility does the team have and what is their past experience?

Idena is built by an anonymous group of computer scientists with extensive experience in launching large-scale blockchain infrastructure projects.

The project is fully open source. You can review the code on the github: https://github.com/idena-network

I'm not saying that you should burn part of those coins (in fact that would be the best for community, but as I already said I agree that You should be fairly rewarded). I'm saying that You should reconsider locking 50-80% of those coin for next 2 year. In my opinion it will show your commitment, faith in the future of the project, decrease circulating supply, what will increase listing price and financial motivation for community to become node (faster project grow).

I'm also supporting this idea presented by Tytanowy Janusz.
AndrewIdena please consider and consult this proposal with your team, as the well-being of this project is not without meaning to all of us. I would say that burning or locking 50% of this really big pre-mine, should suffice as a token of being a serious dev. Good image is sometimes more valuable than money and in the long run... who knows

The project roadmap is quite substantial. Idena has had no coin offering. We are considering various options of Idena development funding, so most of the coins are reserved. We believe that the proportion of the premint and mining is healthy compared to most crypto projects.

This is really a great idea. But how do I know it's legit and what will you be responsible for in the long run?
And where will your income come from? Hope to receive your reply soon. thanks

This reminds me of Nano where you had to solve captchas to mine the coin. NANO is doing pretty well market cap wise, so maybe Idena will be a big success!

So the primary use case for Idena is for marketers/advertisers to reach users and solicit data?

Idena formalizes people on the blockchain so there might be use cases that we can not anticipate yet: democratic voting in online communities or bot-protected marketing, free speech platforms without abuse and other projects that need privacy-preserving authentication.

Now, could you make the node window to hide itself in to tray, like the client app does? More of an aesthetic issue but seem important, no body will like to stare at this nameless icon all day.

Working at it.

I have a small question, is there a minimum hardware system requirement for the node and client to install on the VPS server ?

Please check here https://idena.io/?view=guide#guide-remote-0

Quote from: o48o on November 11, 2019, 08:05:05 AM

I constantly forget to do the validation. So i guess i have to but this from exchanges as it seems easier solution when ever it hits into them.
Or is this traded OTC in somewhere and if so, what's the market cap right now?

Check OTC local room of the Idena community channel https://discord.gg/cyWs66H

Validation starts in less than 2 hours

❗️Make sure you have Wait for validation status displayed in app. Otherwise please submit 3 flips or activate the invitation code.

Please don't forget to update your Idena client before the validation: The latest version is 0.0.49.

I already have received an invitation, but I don't know how to start the node on macOS.

There is an instruction for running the node on macOS: https://idena.io/?view=guide#guide-install-1
Please PM me if you have any issues with running the node

Quote from: uboid on October 28, 2019, 09:48:48 PM

A mobile app would be super useful, especially if you use the notification feature to notify people when they have to solve their flips.
IMO using flips is a much more practicable way of implementing a proof of individuality than using simultaneous video chat groups, so this is a big thumb up.

We're exploring possibilities of running the mobile version.
Thanks for the feedback

The new version of the Idena node (0.13.3) is available.
