[Bitcoin Gold No Premine]

Bitcoin Gold No Premine

The Bitcoin Gold developers decided to include a premine at: https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU

Therefore, I created an alternate client that removes the premine.

Bitcoin Gold (no premine) Client:
https://github.com/realBitcoinGold/BTCGPU

You can see the change here:
https://github.com/realBitcoinGold/BTCGPU/commit/623ec59bb35bd4f20031506a4314e45a1d53fa6f

It will be up to the miners to decide what client to use.  If 51% of miners use the no-premine client, there will be no premine for Bitcoin Gold.

FAQ

Q: Is this a fork of Bitcoin Gold?
A: No, it is an alternative client.  If 51%+ (majority) of miners use the no-premine chain, there will be no premine.  If the majority of miners want a premine, they can use the premine chain and get a premine.

Q: Why should miners want a premine in Bitcoin Gold?
A: Use the premine chain if you want developers to get a premine.  Maybe it will incentivize them to work on the chain and make it more valuable.

Q: What if I try to mine blocks with the no-premine client, but more mining power wants a premine?
A: Your mined blocks will be invalid and forked off the main chain.  The same is true if you try mining with the pre-mine chain and the majority wants no-premine.

WhaleCoin



Abstract
We describe a simple mined cryptographic blockchain which
is designed to power a unique decentralized social network. The social
network supports several types of roles and notably the “Whale” role
which is given to any user who holds at least 1,000 tokens. The total
number of Whales on this network will always be limited and Whales
will have the power to influence how blockchain rewards are distributed.
An incentive structure will be designed so that “Followers” will attempt
to gain approval from Whales who will then influence the blockchain to
send them rewards.

Technical
Based on Ethereum
Miners send mined coins to a smart contract which pays for the Development Fund and Follower Rewards.
Social network Dapp to be launched after Block #200,000

Custom Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm: "Ahab"
WhaleCoin created a new hyper aggressive difficulty adjustment algorithm, which adjusts the difficulty of every block by +/-10% of the previous block based on whether the last block occurred faster or slower than the target time (20 seconds), meaning the difficulty can adjust exponentially if necessary. This should help protect the chain from 51% mining attacks.





Genesis Block Start Date
September 4, 2017 11am Pacific Time

Current Coin Distribution
This is a 100% mined coin with no pre mine or ICO.  After coins are mined, miners send some of the coins to a development and social contract fund.  The amount depends on what miners agree on based on consensus of the code they run at the time.

Current Coin Distribution (After Block #863270)
Miners: 50%
Followers: 40%
Development Fund: 10%

Coin Distribution (Block #200,000- #863270)
Miners: 34%
Development Fund: 33%
Followers: 33%

Coin Distribution (Block #1-#200,000)
Miners: 67%
Development Fund: 33%

More details to follow.  This will be a mined blockchain.  We are currently Pre Genesis block.

An important part of SVE Coin is the role of Oracles.  We are reaching out to the community to help decide and vote on the initial set of Oracles.

Zclassic is a fork of Zcash 1.0.1 with minimal changes except for 2 major things.

1. 20% Founders Reward is removed.
2. Slow start is removed (blocks start at 12.5 ZCL rewards per block).

Parameters:

PoW: Equihash
Halving rate: Every 4 years (same as Zcash and bitcoin).
Starting Block Reward: 12.5 coins every 2.5 minutes (Same as Zcash.  50 coins per 10 minutes, like Bitcoin).
Total eventual supply: 21,000,000 (21 million), as per Bitcoin (Unchanged from Zcash)
Difficulty adjustment algorithm: Digishield V3 (Unchanged from Zcash)
Difficulty adjusts each block (Unchanged from Zcash)
Symbol: ZCL (pronounced "ZICKLE" like "NICKEL")

Trusted Parameters
Zcash (and Zclassic) relies on trust that a private key was destroyed.  If anyone poseses the private key, that person can mint unlimited coins for himself/herself.  Zcash designed a ceremony where 6 individuals each created a shard of a private key and destroyed it.  As long as all 6 individuals did not conspire and collude to share their shards, the private key is destroyed.  Here are mre details about the ceremony.
https://z.cash/blog/the-design-of-the-ceremony.html

Zclassic uses the exact same trusted parameters Zcash uses.  This is also what Peter Todd suggests:

Note from developer:
I started this work on my own, writing Medium articles and reaching out to people on Twitter because I believe the ZK-SNARK technology in Zcash is the future of money, but I couldn't stomach the idea of it being taxed 20% by a small group of people.

To be honest, I never made an altcoin before.  I spent a week on my own obsessing over the Zcash code to see what could be done.  Soon after the Zcash launch, I submitted a pull-request to remove the Founder's Reward, which was quickly closed:
https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/1714

When I found out SuprnovaPools had 51%+ mining power of Zcash, I reached out to them to use my fork:
https://twitter.com/HeyRhett/status/792787816329515009

After failing at those two approaches, on Halloween, I announced, "I'm forking Zcash with no 20% Founders Reward.  Ping me to help.  There won't be any reward for helping."
https://twitter.com/HeyRhett/status/793201219393105921

I offer my sincere apology to the community for people who feel they may have missed the announcement because there wasn't enough advance notice.  I was reaching out to people, but I did not have the large exposure of a foundation with investors.

Now that the coin is live, most of what you see above is work done by the community.  This coin is almost 4 days old, and I'm amazed at what we've done so far.

1. Code is at

https://github.com/z-classic/zclassic

Please:
1. Mine the testnet and submit bug reports

2. Add seed nodes for launch in a few days

3. Help build binaries for Windows / Mac

I don't get 20% tax here, so I need your help!

Edit: updated post with new url / info

I'm thinking of launching a Zcash fork with no founder's reward as a bitcoin sidechain.

This means Bitcoin users could move in and out of the chain with a peg where 1 SNARK == 1 BTC.

Currently looking for developers interested in helping, and mining a new genesis block.

There needs to be an alternative to Zcash that fixes 3 things.

1. Complete removal of the 20% "Genius Tax"

2. Open and better initial trusted setup.  No weird private ceremony that only a few people in a cool club get to be a part of.

3. The value of the coin should go UP over time, not down.  Removal of the slow start helps this.  There is also no need to super hype up the coin ahead of time.  Let the early mining hashrate and value of the coin be low.  It will go up over time, that that benefits early adopters.

No name for the coin yet.  I welcome suggestions.  I'm sure they will be amazing.

Suprnova Mining Pools controls over 51% of the mining power on Zcash.

It is trivial to remove the 20% Founders Reward in Zcash with a hardfork, as I describe here.: https://medium.com/@heyrhett/zcash-miners-stop-paying-20-genius-tax-486d9f40884f

I tried using their Receiving API yesterday, and these coins are still in limbo:
