To go back to your screen, use

Code:

screen -r nado

To update your NADO installation, use

Code:

git pull origin main

from the directory where you have it installed.

Windows
There is a release page in GitHub, which is periodically updated when major changes occur. The easiest way to run NADO for Windows users is to use the nado.exe binary from there.

It is also possible to install Python on Windows and run NADO directly. Command line instructions:
Direct installation

First download the master branch from GitHub and extract the archive. Run the command line as Administrator and enter the following commands:

Code:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

To run NADO, execute the following command: python3.10 nado.py

After installation, go to your browser and announce your peer to one of the nodes like this: http://127.0.0.1:9173/announce_peer?ip=144.91.103.83. For this, you should have port 9173 open so the node is accessible from the internet if you want to receive rewards. After this step, synchronization should start shortly.

Wallet
You can download the official NADO wallet here or on the release page of NADO.
Remote access

After running the node, you can access it at http://127.0.0.1:9173 from where all API calls used by the node itself are accessible. Here are some examples:

● http://127.0.0.1:9173/get_account?address=ndo6a7a7a6d26040d8d53ce66343a47347c9b79e814c66e29

Private key storage
In previous versions, private key was stored in the folder where NADO is installed, under private directory, specifically in the keys.dat file. With the latest version, this file is stored in user's home directory,

Code:

/~/nado/private/keys.dat

in Linux and

Code:

C:\Users\[username]\nado\private

in Windows.

Is there anything unique?
Yes. No mining, minting, block production happens in every node at once, based on the deterministic principles of the blockchain. This is possible because block production is separated from the consensual layer. This removes all the selfish miner incentives, which cause issues like transaction exclusion in traditional PoW systems.

What is NADO?
NADO is short for Tornado. It is just another blockchain written from scratch with a highly experimental consensus algorithm, which was created to provide effortless mining for all participants with a public IP address. NADO is not a classic proof-of-work blockchain like Bitcoin. Unlike most other crypto, its focus is on accessibility to rewards for everyone. It has a fully elastic reward mechanism, rewarding users only when transactions are happening on the chain. Users can burn their share of tokens in order to increase their chances of winning more rewards in the future.

What's the reason for NADO?
NADO is a take on one of the newer trends, where users do not use graphics cards or specialized hardware for mining, nor do they have to own a large portion of tokens in order to be rewarded. It is inspired by IDENA and NYZO, while attempting to bring the barrier of entry even lower than those two by not requiring solving of puzzles or highly efficient machines for users to remain in a reward distribution cycle.

What does NADO do differently?
In NADO, every user generates new blocks at the same time. This is possible because users are not rewarded for mining blocks but for keeping the network running. After generating a block and receiving a reward, chances of receiving more block rewards are temporarily lowered based on the public IP address. Every IP address can only have one block generating node. While this excludes users without public addresses, it prevents node spamming to a degree.

Sounds interesting, can you elaborate?
There are multiple cycles for every block. It starts with accepting peers and transactions directly. In the second stage, transactions and peers are stored in a buffer for the following block so that transactions can stabilize across the network. NADO prefers decentralization to efficiency, which means it exposes consensus more than the individual node, which makes it more resilient regarding SPOF but less efficient.

But is there a premise?
The premise of NADO is that users stop being interested in decentralized value distributing projects because it becomes progressively more difficult for them to join them or remain as time goes on. The main reason for users to leave is not the lack of adoption, but the mismatch between adoption, distribution and inflation. Distribution is the single one most important aspect of a cryptocurrency project as proven in the success of NANO, where no single entity was capable of obtaining a high amount of tokens through monopolizing token distribution.

● Constant rewards are counterproductive: Users will keep running their nodes even though they are not receiving rewards in a particular moment because there is no block reward for a particular block because network activity is low. Fighting inflation is more important than hoping for users to not stop running nodes.

● Elastic distribution was one of the key promises of Vertcoin, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies of 2014. NADO puts these promises into practice.
● Litecoin was created as a Bitcoin with fair distribution. None of the projects mentioned above put large effort into marketing and were extremely popular nonetheless.
● Barrier of entry is directly correlated to fairness of distribution. This is an idea on which Steve Jobs built his entire business. Removal of hassles in Apple operating systems and simplicity of their mobile devices led to widespread adoption simply because there were no hurdles to adoption.
● Interestingly enough, some of the most successful "cryptocurrency projects" where pyramid schemes that had zero technology in them: Bitcoinnect and Onecoin. All users had to do there was to go on a website and click a button to invest money into something that did not exist. Why did they do it? Because it was easy.
● Combining great and accessible technology with perfect distribution and effective marketing is the key to successful adoption.


Why not only use the existing projects?
● With PoW, the problem is in the arms race.
● With PoS, the problem is in the rising price.
● With PoD, the problem is in the increasing difficulty to re-join mesh with more participants.

Proof of what?
Every node in the NADO ecosystem keeps track of what opinions other nodes have by sharing state checksums for current block producer pools, transaction pools, peer pools and block hash pools. Participants add credibility over time to those who share their opinions on what the state of the network is. The security principle is that any attacker needs to be connected to the network for a longer time than the legitimate nodes and postpone the attack until their network participation duration is longer than that of other nodes - to perform a 51% attack. If the legitimate nodes stay in the network longer than the attackers, it is impossible to attack.

Burn-to-Bribe system and governance
In the beginning, all users have the same chance at receiving a reward every block. If they succeed, they are issued both tokens and a penalty. This penalty lowers chance of further finding rewards in relation to users who have not been rewarded yet, but it can be negated by burning a portion of the coins they generated or obtained otherwise. Currently, the model is set up in 1:100 ratio, which means that 1 portion of burn negates 100 portions of penalty. Both penalty and burn are counted from the smallest unit of NADO, so the lowest penalty resolution is 0.0000000001 and the lowest burn/bribe resolution is 0.0000000010. This system was created as an additional measure against inflation after implementation of elastic distribution and burned tokens are used for governance purposes.

To burn your NADO, send it to the following address:

Code:

burn

What about security?
There are no guarantees for security of NADO, mainly because of its highly experimental character. Compared to more excluding networks like Bitcoin, security will always be lower as the main focus is on lowering the entry level for new users to make mining as inclusive as possible.
How many decimals are there and what are the units called?

1 NADO can be split into 1,000,000,000 units.

qTrader
Welcome to the qTrade trading bot.

What does this bot offer?
This bot places buy and sell orders for you at the best possible price, and at the best possible exposure.

What is the premise?
Market spread is an inefficiency, which can be exploited by covering both sides of it while the difference is higher than market fees. Nothing new.

How do I run this bot?
On start, you will be asked for your API credentials. You need to obtain these from https://qtrade.io/settings/api_keys There is a configuration file config.json where you set your trading parameters.

Config File
Bot configuration is set at config.json file. Buy orders are placed on top of the buy order book, with an increase of price_adjustment.

Sell orders are placed on top of the sell order book, with a decrease of price_adjustment.

The minimum spread between orders is defined by spread_pct_min.

Order book recalculation is set by ttl in seconds. However, pauses between runs are set at 90 seconds static.

What returns can I expect?
The bot profits the most from a stable price range with a high spread. It works actively towards lowering the spread in order to beat other trading bots and humans.

What should I be aware of?
This bot does not track individual order performance, because that would require static orders. Static orders are not favorable due to their inert nature, which results in them getting stuck forever outside the price range.

A very strong trend where there is only one type of trading going on (buys / sells only), this bot cannot operate properly. However, such situation should only be temporary.

Tips
In an uptrend scenario, it might be a good idea to have a higher sell_amount than buy_amount in magnitude strong enough to knock down the price back to your buy orders. The opposite is true for a downtrend.

Requirements

Code:

python-dateutil

pip3 install --upgrade --user git+https://github.com/qtrade-exchange/qtrade-py-client.git

Factom anchors itself in the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, but operates its own data chains too. The anchoring part (and the start of the project) is based on the bitcoin "wire" level protocol library. Here, I am using the initial commit by Paul Snow (current CEO of Factom) as the start of the Factom project itself (the project was still called NotaryChain back then). This project could as well go into the "dismissed" tab, because it's not fitting the rules perfectly and doesn't have one public blockchain, but one could also argue that it merits the spot here.

[September 2017 Roadmap Update]

September 2017 Roadmap Update

With Bismuth now having most of the May 2017 Roadmap implemented, it is time to declare new goals based on the long term vision of constant development and improvements. Besides the described achievements, the Bismuth core code has also been strengthened, block security has been greatly increased with the recent successful hard forks. Automatic bootstrapping is now in place for user convenience together with partial rework of the user interface and a handy addition of wallet backup and other capabilities. During the last month’s research, it has become obvious that the unique interpretation engine scheme Bismuth is using for it’s selective decentralized application execution and operation could be extended with a standard module for execution of decentralized contracts in a dedicated new module. The first and necessary application will be an addition of a second-layer decentralized token platform, granting users an innate ability to issue, exchange and manage tokens on the Bismuth platform. In the creation of the first secondary currency, the first rules for token operation will be defined, giving Bismuth the basis for an industry standard, executable smart contract dimension. To shortly list the next goals:

• Additional decentralized token layer (decentralized asset exchange)
• Token syntax and command standardization as a base layer for decentralized contract mechanics
• Decentralized contracts execution platform with a common shared state hooked to Bismuth through OpenField

Original May 2017 Roadmap

I would like to inform you that the launch of Bismuth has been successful beyond expectations. In the first two weeks, I have upgraded the mining algorithm to handle unlimited amount of users, improved support for Linux users, secured and bootstrapped the core and added numerous new features under the hood. We are now slowly approaching the stage of the light client support with the latest versions. Work on a mining pool have been restored and are in negotiation with external programmers. As for the forseeable future, you will see the following:

• Restructured mining difficulty drop mechanics ✔
• Full messaging support for both encrypted and unencrypted messages ✔
• Ability to symmetrically and asymmetrically encrypt any data on the blockchain ✔
• Implementation of the blockchain-secured legal document storage (footprints and full documents)
• Decentralized HTML browsing capabilities with direct evaluation ✔
• The first ever decentralized performance and availability monitoring tool for servers (partially implemented)
• The mining pool ✔

The development does not end with the last point, but these are mid-term realistic goals. As for the distant future, I would like Bismuth to stay on the cutting edge of technology, supporting blockchain-based IoT for which I already have the case study. Bismuth is also capable of supporting an asset exchange and should be able to provide a basis for the artificial intelligence and deep learning infrastructures with connection to the real world. There is a plenty to look ahead for.

[Please make your claim until May 1 2018, all later claims will be ignored. If you lose your keys and fail to report it until then, you will lose your rewards]

Because initial testing is now over, a reward will be paid out to the following testers on May 1 2018, no new people can participate. These testers and developers will receive 1/2 of the outstanding development reward (except the first 100,000 blocks, which have already been paid out), that is 50% of the bonus 10% mining.

There might be people I forgot about, I'd like to ask especially the third tier to claim their addresses. Also, please make a post that you have the same address unless you want to claim to a different address. It would be good to post here if you're interested at all, because I will have to PM all the people who don't.

Registrations for rewards up to block 90000 are hereby closed

Edit: Due to funding necessity, first wave of dev rewards will be distributed soon for blocks up to 90000.
Total amount of dev rewards up to block 90000: 134643.78900915
50% of the dev rewards: 67321.894504575

Tier I total rewards (70%): 47125.3261532025 = 9425.06523064 per person, 5x (paid out)
Tier II total rewards (20%): 13464.378900915 = 354.32576055 per person, 38x
Tier III total rewards (10%): 6732.1894504575 = 292.70388915 per person, 23x




May 1, 2018 Update:
Total amount of remaining dev rewards block 90001-624158: 700,000, out of that, 350,000 will be distributed to testers, 350,000 to the lead developer
Tier I total rewards (70%): 245000 = 39200 per person, 5x + 49000/3 for jimhsu (5000), EggdraSyl (22000) and gh2 (22000)
Tier II total rewards (20%): 70000 = 1842 per person, 38x
Tier III total rewards (10%): 35000 = 1521 per person, 23x

Any plans for Bismuth-based ICO project are put to ice at the moment, but here's what I would do if I wanted to make an ICO:

- Make people generate key pairs
- Create a (Google) Form
- Let people register through the Form with the following information:

- Target coin address
- Source Bitcoin address
* optionally email / name for emergency contact

---

Then I would check the form and compare it to my Bitcoin wallet
Addresses that sent me Bitcoin and were registered on in the Form receive target coin

can be modified for whatever instead of BTC

Back in 2014 everything was stolen and forked. There are new projects now with original code. Does anyone have a list of them?

So, when are they releasing the Monero guru?

第一个区块链2.0平台NXT选择对现有NXT账户进行快照的方式来分发Ardor系统的代币，而不是选择主流的众筹或其它方式。

快照进行了大概3个月，从7月中旬到10月中旬。Ardor区块链平台有望在2017年第3季度正式发布。

NXT基金会的联合创始人Bas Wisselink说道：

“我们的系统一直在运行中，因此我们没有通过另外的ICO来分发代币，这将会稀释用户的代币数量。因此我们采用了对现有账户进行快照的方式来分发新系统的代币。”
ARDR将是Ardor区块链平台的原生代币，允许用户使用NXT的区块链技术来发布自己的子链（侧链）。Ardor通过每1440个区块删减一次子链交易数据来解决区块链膨胀问题。这些删减的数据仍然可以保存在备份节点上。

快照公告发布之后，NXT的市值达到了3200万美金左右。Wisselink指出NXT将不会因为Ardor系统的出现而消失；NXT仍然将保持运行，Ardor将会是一个互补的系统。

NXT基金会的Dave Pearce补充道：

“如果我们进行ICO，我们可以融资到相当多的资金，但是那样的话我们就会损害一直支持我们的用户。”
对于整体的区块链技术的哲学观点，Wisselink说道：“区块链技术的游戏理论通常都被忽视了，这非常有趣。它不仅仅只是让交易发生，而且也关注在如何让人们诚实以及如何最小化某些行为。”

“我们如何机理人们、我们应该提供什么样的激励，我们期望获得什么样的行为结果等？大多数人都会从自身利益出发，但是实际上可以创建更加建设性的行为。我认为这是非常了不起的。”

Pearce承认将整个金融生态系统搬到区块链上不会很快就实现，但是在他看来这是很重要的。“区块链是一个非常强大的工具，能够消除腐败和欺诈，因此很多公司会尽可能让他们的账户公开在区块链上以进行审计，”他说道。

为了领取到你的ARDR，你需要使用1.10.1或更新版本的客户端，最好是最新的1.10.3客户端。可以从NXT网站上直接下载客户端。

We have said for months now that Nxt is NOT being abandoned.
We have been active for years now working on it and the Nxt Foundation is working very hard on getting business onto the platform.

There is no movement to have Nxt replaced by Ardor. Both will exist side by side.

TL;DR: NO

Hello, do you please have details on how Bitcoin is handling transaction propagation and what is the most efficient way?
I can't think of a scenario which does not involve a lot of waste - transaction resending back to nodes where they originally came from, being unsure about which node to send to, etc.

Asking about the process which happens before the block is formed.

I would like to warn you that if someone says they earned $12 million or whatever and refuses to provide a proof of transaction, they are lying. Keep safe.

Discuss. I think it will be, because reasons.

Coinbase got drained, but are they the only bad coders out there?
I mean, how many exchanges did probably get drained from the replay attacks?
My guess: many and a new dark age might be dawning for crypto

I want to talk about salaries. How much $ do you have left after paying taxes, rent, and basic expenses (electricity, water)
I get $10 000/y like a fucking slave
My spending basic is $5 000 / year, including food, $2 500 without food
I live in the former SSSR
Another reason to move away

Also they give me these communistic so called "benefits" when you get like prepaid cards for predefined services

I tried to theoretically think of a situation where a Sybil attack would not be impossible, but I cannot find it
Please enlighten me

Just checked their repo
