Absolute is definitely still alive and everything is OK!

Hi cygan,

I'm looking to get it online in the next month. The road map will be updated this week to show this.

I'm excited to say that the halving event has occurred on the ABS chain.



The ABS halving event has occurred on the chain at block 700801! Masternode payments are now 6 ABS and mining rewards are 1.5 ABS per block.

There is currently 16,475,747 ABS in supply with a further 3,874,253 available. The next cycle will release 2,628,000 ABS over the next 12-14 months.

Progress on the Proof of View system will allow user to earn the remaining 32.15M ABS available via the AbsoluteX.io domain which will take over from the current address at absolutecoin.net in the near future. Out absolutecoin.net domain will be used for developer, technical and wallet based information only once the new site is live.

Here is a sneak peak of the site.

this looks great Yogg! Looking forward to getting ABS Keys supported

No, you will be able to use the old version up to the 10th of July

It's possible, however we are limited by listing fees so we can see whats suitable for ABS.

So update 12.3.1 will be available on 26th on June. Some of the PoV node source code will be included but not yet enabled.

All old Masternodes will be disabled on the 10th of July.

This release will in a intermediate release which is required to get @everyone in the right position to turn tiered deterministic nodes on at a later date.

We will also be shaking up how the community is organised and shifting information on to the website which will have a members portal. More to follow on this over the weekend.

Absolute Update #19.2

The next update (12.3.1) is almost ready for testing, so the community should expect the release with the next few weeks. This will be a staging release for Deterministic Masternodes to be activated on the Network. The process for setting up, building and configuring new Masternodes will also change significantly when these new nodes are activated. We will make sure all the documentation is available as before.

New Governance Budget Proposals will also be available this week. We recommend that members of the community vote promptly so that we can secure the next superblock.

You should look into ABS further, feel free to come and chat to the community on Discord or Telegram. We've been developing ABS for over a year now, so we would have hoped we would be past these kind of statements by now.

Quick update Everyone

Web Paper Wallet

A New web Paper Wallet is now available https://address.absolutecoin.net/

This will allow you the following functionality:
- Create a new ABS address
- Create an ABS paper wallet
- Bulk Create Addresses
- Split a wallet address
- Show wallet details (WIF, WIFC, HEX, B64) formats.

We are looking for people to test the wallet and confirm that everything is working ok. This wallet can be download via GitHub (version 3.3.1) , there is a link on the site via (zip) if you wish to run it completely offline.

New Release
A new release will be available within the next few weeks (v12.3.1),  this will adjust spork setting on the network, apply bug fixes for database and RPC settings and get things in order for the next release which will be (v12.3.2).

We've been playing with some new functionality changes regarding our spork keys which has taken some time to configure, now that these have been completed, be can proceed with deterministic masternodes.


Thanks CC,

Yes, you will need to update your Masternode to v.12.2.5 before this date.

Its Absolute's 1st Birthday today! The Genesis block was created one year ago today.

So congratulations and thank you to everyone in the community for supporting ABS over the past year. It's been an eventful year for us and we all looking forward to adding some great functionality in the year ahead.

As wages are now being paid to members of the community, we are able to output reports for the community to look at. Here is the first report that we have created from Harvest, which is the hourly logging system we are now using. We will output these twice a month, so you are informed on what @everyone is doing.

Our wages system works off points which was approved in W1-Proposal. The points system breakdown can be seen within the W1 Proposal. https://bit.ly/W1-Wages-Budget

$ is a prefix for points within this report

We are pleased to announce that have successfully integrated a WooCommerce plugin for Absolute, which we allow payments in ABS, exclusively. The plugin has fully automated payment verification, API based, with no middle man service or fees. Merchants get 100% of payments, directly in their wallet. Merchants also don’t need to have a connection with wallet over a server or any service, the plugin payment functionality is completely decentralized.  Payment is done directly from buyer to merchant. WooCommerce is primary used within Wordpress, so this is a good addition to Absolute functionality.

A user guide for this is available here: http://bit.ly/ABSWooCommerceGuide

It will be a minimum of 1 month, could be much longer depending on how the campaign goes.

After quite a few emails backwards and forwards between us and Delta, I'm please to say that the all the trading markets and logo are now correct on the delta app.

These updates should pull through the next time you restart the app: https://delta.app/

So we will be starting the signature campaign tomorrow @everyone. Please feel free to support us on BCT if you are willing to add the banner. I believe we have a full compliment on members now added. Ask Hhampuz if you have any questions.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104043.msg49496169#msg49496169

We will be starting a Gleam Masternode Giveaway soon, I was going to start this tomorrow but we have just commissioned some new videos for ABS. So we will wait a few days before starting this campaign so that these can be added into the tweet requirements.

Our 1st Birthday is on 14th of Feb, so we will be doing a run down on what has happened within ABS since we started and what the plan is going forward over the next year.

More to follow soon, thanks CC

Thanks everyone, We appreciated you guys getting involved in the signature campaign. We are moving in the right direction for sure! https://twitter.com/Absolute_Crypto/status/1090925018475827201

Signature Campaign has opened up on BCT @everyone, We will give people in here a head start and are more likely to enrol users that are within the community first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104043.msg49496169#msg49496169

Hi everyone, this is the weekly announcement!

Wallets – Release
Development continues on the next release (12.2.5), based on what I said last week our goals have not changed. There will be further code amendments once we have successfully tested last week’s changes.

Timing changes and difficult settings
We are currently experiencing issues with block timings based on how the difficulty settings are adjusted on each block. This is due to the instability in hashing power which is engaged on the network at present. If hashing power spikes, this causes the difficultly to adjust to compensate. If over compensation occurs, this causes blocks to remain unsolved for much longer than 90 seconds. This means that superblocks releases have been slowly moving forward over the past few months. Adjustments in the code, will allow us to regulate this better in the next release.

Exchanges
We are now on Crex24! Please show your support by trading on this exchange in addition to our current listings. Our market on Crex can be found here: https://crex24.com/exchange/ABS-BTC

Coingecko
We have signing up of a new feature on CoinGecko call Beam, this will allow us to configure ABS on the site and allow news postings which should give us better exposure.

Twitter
We’ve been pushing on twitter this week, we are attracting around 50 new followers a day, which is great news. Further work needs to be done on our other accounts, but this is a good step in the right direction. We also have started pushing into the advertising and event base industries to gain awareness of what ABS is about. Any retweets and likes helps us, so we appreciate your support!

Coin Market Cap
Our goal is to reapply later in the month for CMC, now that we have another exchange listing sorted. We need to start expanding the community again, further social media exposure should help here, so we will continue to expand these and see what happens.

Advertising on major social accounts is an option but the budget is quite limited at the moment.

Governance
We will be issuing new budgets asap, these need to be voted on to allow us to continue to pay for general running expenses and other areas that need funding.
