1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / The Problems With Cryptocurrency Mining: Energy Use & Centralization on: August 09, 2019, 05:02:59 PM
Proof-of-work mining has a few serious problems. Every day, networks like Bitcoin, Dash, and Litecoin become evermore centralized. Industrial-scale mining operations that burn through electricity have put the power to control the networks in the hands of just a few. Individual miners have to rely on mining pools to compete. But mining pools themselves also act as a force for network centralization.

Mining is quickly becoming more of a problem than a solution. Even long-standing pillars of the community are speaking out against it. But a few young projects are working hard to out innovate these challenges, and each one has a different solution.Most mining today is done by massive, factory-style operations. A popular destination for such operations is Iceland. The government of Iceland has warned that they are running out of resources to feed the endless demand for more energy for mining operations. In fact, they have stated that if they allowed every investor or company that wanted to start such an operation to do so, they would be totally unable to keep up with the demand.

At the moment, there are some obstacles between different crypto chains. To eradicate these problems, we need to connect chains with multi-currencies integration. When it comes projects who are solving these problems, ChainX would be the best. ChainX is an Inter-chain hub for digital assets breaking barriers among assets in different chains and creating the ecosystem of multi-currency integration. ChainX is aiming to be the gateway of various inter-chain assets.

BTC has established the most widely accepted consensus, but its transaction efficiency is low; ZEC has enabled privacy protection, but smart contract is not incorporated; ETH has smart con-tract, but it cannot migrate to the PoS system; ChainX can transfer all assets across chains in a decentralized way. Chains that have connected with ChainX can enjoy asset connectivity with all chains.

The PoW algorithm issuing new cryptocurrencies based on the mining power is considered to be a relatively decentralized and fair distribution model, but it is still prone to be monopolized by big miners, leaving ordinary users no choice but to buy mining machine at high prices. The PoS chain generally has a large private offering or setting up a fund to issue cryptocurrencies. After the launch, it only issues additional tokens to users with voting power, resulting in new users resorting to the secondary.

Bitcoin mining uses too much energy

You may have heard this argument before, but Bitcoin mining is consuming an increasingly large percentage of the world’s energy. Today’s estimates suggest that mining operations are now consuming as much or more electricity than the entire nation of Denmark. While it’s not enough energy consumption to cause a global catastrophe, it is quickly becoming a serious problem.

Secondly, ChainX Token Economy

The token of ChainX is PCX, 21 million in total, with output halved every two years. No private offering or pre-mining will be launched. 20% of total PCX issuance in the first two years is distributed to the development team for research and development, after that all issuance will be distributed to the community. 90% of the total will be owned by the participating users through assets mining with only 10% for the founding team.

Thirdly, Asset is Power

We all know that the measurement of POW mining power represented by Bitcoin is the computing power, namely One CPU One Vote. The measurement of PoS mining power is the amount of coins, One Coin One Vote. ChainX pioneers the asset mining model of “One Asset One Vote”, which means that users can participate in ChainX Staking by simply depositing cryptocurrencies and they can get PCX. Asset value is the only voting power.

What’s More, the Reward Calculation !

Here is the recent calculation result.
SDOT PoS mining revenue (DOT mapping)
10,000 SDOT day theoretical income: 31.9 PCX
Converted to USDT: 510.4 USDT
Daily rate of return: 3.64%
Annualized rate of return: 1328.6%

How to calculate?
The PCX generated will flow to three reward pools.
1. BTC deposits pool
2. DOT mapping SDOT pool
3. Nodes’ PCX votes pool

In the ChainX system, voting is used as the computing power of mining. Voting is divided into “virtual voting” and “real voting.” Users are rewarded with PCX according to their voting weight or computing power.

BTC deposits :virtual voting power
After BTC is deposited, the virtual voting power is obtained according to the BTC/PCX average price generated in the Chain X currency trading system, and the voting power will have a further 50% discount.For example, if one BTC equals 100 PCXs and with 50% discount to be imposed, then depositing one BTC means 50 PCX virtual voting power.

DOT mapping :generating virtual voting power
After DOT is mapped into Chain X and becomes SDOT, SDOT will obtain the voting power of 0.1PCX.For example, if you map 100 DOTs, you can get the virtual voting power of 10 PCXs.

PCX voting (generating real voting power):
In the first cycle, everyone does not have PCX, but in the second cycle, users can vote PCX to their favorite nodes to get the corresponding PCX voting power.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / ChainX: The First Polkadot Eco-Chain on: August 09, 2019, 12:51:29 PM


The ChainX mainnet was launched on May 25, 2019. It is the first Polkadot eco-chain based on Substrate technology. In order to preheat the polkadot ecosystem, chainX has opened a green channel for polkadot investors.

Firstly, Let’s get to Know ChainX and Polkadot.

Polkadot makes inter-chain information exchanges possible and ChainX is mainly focused on inter-chain assets like BTC, ETH, BNB and other digital currencies to transfer these assets from their original ecosystem to the future inter-chain ecosystem. ChainX will operate as an independent chain before Polkadot goes live. After Polkadot goes live, ChainX will connect to the Polkadot network via a para-chain.

Secondly, ChainX Token Economy

The token of ChainX is PCX, 21 million in total, with output halved every two years. No private offering or pre-mining will be launched. 20% of total PCX issuance in the first two years is distributed to the development team for research and development, after that all issuance will be distributed to the community. 90% of the total will be owned by the participating users through assets mining with only 10% for the founding team.

1.   BTC deposits :virtual voting power

After BTC is deposited, the virtual voting power is obtained according to the BTC/PCX average price generated in the Chain X currency trading system, and the voting power will have a further 50% discount.For example, if one BTC equals 100 PCXs and with 50% discount to be imposed, then depositing one BTC means 50 PCX virtual voting power.

3.   PCX voting (generating real voting power):

In the first cycle, everyone does not have PCX, but in the second cycle, users can vote PCX to their favorite nodes to get the corresponding PCX voting power.

The percentage of rewards that individuals can receive is (Virtual voting power of individual BTC deposits + virtual voting power of individual DOT mapping + real voting power of individual PCX votes) / (virtual voting power of total BTC deposits + virtual voting power of total DOT mapping + real voting power of total PCX votes)

3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Transburn Announcement (Deflationary Token) on: July 21, 2019, 05:37:11 PM
TRANSBURN Deflationary Token

TransBurn is an open-source and community-driven social experiment with usecase.



Why TransBurn?

Transburn token is specifically made for dapp game transaction with a coded deflationary 1% per transaction, which means every onchain transaction 1% will be automatically destroyed. This method and application create scarcity for the transburn token to make it surge high base on the law of demand and supply.

The demand for transburn token will be relatively increase day by day because this is real usecase token that's back up by decrease in total supply upon any transaction made on chain. The more the awareness and interest of blockchain users get involves in usage of transburn the more the velocity of transburn ascending. Transburn is created by blockchain enthusiasts who believe in creating new ideas for the improvement and betterment of block chain industry whereas give the Crypto community to take care of the transburn by promotion and application of marketing strategy. Therefore transburn is largely own by its users and community who believe in new ideas and innovations.

NB: Participating in this experiment does not present an offer for ordinary shares of any entity and token holders are not entitled to or promised any form of dividends/financial rewards. Tokens are not intended to constitute securities in any jurisdiction.


Note: I am not a part of the Transburn team and am not a point of contact for this project. For any questions related to the project, kindly contact the team members via TransBurn

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ontology Network - Sharding Potentials on: April 22, 2019, 08:02:19 AM
I have come long enough in the blockchain to realize its value potentials and it needs for much more global recognition. I have witnessed first hand the impact of this technology on human life especially in the areas of humanitarian services as seen in the Venezuela economic crisis caused by really high hyperinflations never witnessed in the country history. This result in the dominance of $BTC and altcoins(DASH) over its country currency - Boliver



Subsequently, a user created a subreddit seeking for this financial aid and got the /bitcoin Reddit community funding and tipping $btc to help suffering people at least live a normal life. This and a lot of other examples explains the power of the blockchain which cryptocurrency is its biggest industry even now.

However, this is not without its own unique problem. Bitcoin and Ethereum have low transaction speed compared to legacy companies like MasterCard and Visa card. This has imposed a huge problem to adoption in the following ways.

- Slow Block Generation Speed: Blocks are generated per transaction during blockchain operation each block in the blockchain contains its previous block’s hash, which helps to connect the adjacent blocks, consensus can only be achieved one block at a time with only limited transaction stored. This is a slow process as there is a need for even much more efficient consensus process.

- Low Processing and Storage Capacity: As more network and mainnet use up the blocks, the storage capacity intended to store hash becomes filled up causing each node to store all data and process-related transaction slower. This is good for security but slow for scalability.

- High Fees: During the peak time of blockchain protocol usage. The speed of transaction is mainly determined by a high fee for each transaction execution. As more dapps are created and more users use the protocol, blockchain nodes are required to process a greater volume of transactions and store more large data.

The solution to this problem is SHARDING: Sharding is regarded as a powerful blockchain scalability
solution. There are two kinds of sharding methods, which are state sharding and transaction processing
sharding. This splits up the load into different shards and ensures there is not much load carried on each shard. This is a very efficient process as it ensures that large data are split into smaller easily executed data.

Consequently, Ontology Sharding application offers solutions to the problems currently faced in the blockchain today. Ontology network is implemented with smart contracts and surprisingly uses smart contract as the basic sharding unit will implement both state sharding and transaction process sharding for much more efficient scalability process for transactions and operations.


7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Blocktek University - Cryptocurrency education made simple on: March 13, 2019, 03:16:34 PM


Welcome to Blocktek University, the number one blockchain e-Learning and blockchain services platform!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
What is Blocktek University?

Blocktek University aims to provide FREE cryptocurrency education to the masses.



All courses are tracked and stored directly on the Blockchain. NEVER AGAIN will you have to worry about missing transcripts, false reporting or proving your educational background to potential employers. Beginner level courses pay a small fee in $BKU to list their certificate on the blockchain, advanced courses are automatically tracked and stored on the blockchain. IRREFUTABLE. FOREVER



F.A.Q

What Function Does Your Token Serve?

The BKU token is for use solely for BlockTek University products. Our token functions in two ways. One of these ways is as a payment token – Users taking advanced level courses must pay in BKU. This is the only payment method we accept. Instructors are also paid in BKU. Our token also functions as a tracker recording students progress directly to the blockchain and storing certificates of completion.

Why Didn't You Have An ICO?

Our tokens are used within our products and services, we didn’t want users hoarding tokens for speculative reasons especially tokens they could not use immediately. We aim to release our tokens slowly to match the number of users and instructors on our platform. The team will release no more than 10 million tokens into circulation each quarter. We believe in building a sustainable business model for the future and proving our worth – not just our ideas.

What Have You Accomplished This Far?

Without funding we’ve designed our learning platform, designed and deployed our own payment gateway for our tokens, launched an instructor portal and have released the beta version of our on chain progress tracking that is available for students to use today.

What's The Maximum Supply Of The Token?

The maximum supply of the token is 150M. Users who currently hold NTWK Token will receive 3 BKU for every 1 NTWK they swap.
