Grin is properly credited in GitLab and white paper.

Why not credit Grin on your webpage as well, which will get a lot more eyes than either GitLab or white paper?
Looks like you want to leave some people with the false impression that Epic Cash is original work.

https://grinscan.net/charts sadly shows only one week of history. Sad

https://grin.report/d/xoo9N43iz/chain?orgId=1&from=now-6M&to=now

is another accurate one with full history...

@RivAngE. As Febo showed, the hashrate has increased 3x in the last 3 weeks.

No; it hasn't. See https://grinscan.net/charts for accurate graphrates.

Here's a moral bug:

https://www.epic.tech/ fails to acknowledge use of Grin's codebase...

Feel free to send bug bounty to

Simple counting shows that at most a fraction of 2^-8 (about 0.25%) of all files can be compressed by 1 or more bytes.

And at most 2^-32 or 0.000000024% of all files can be compressed by 4 or more bytes.

This is why we say that random data is incompressible.
386  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: In mining are the rest of target bytes 0 or 255? on: July 22, 2019, 07:18:56 AM
As shown in

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/d0f81a96d9c158a9226dc946bdd61d48c4d42959/src/arith_uint256.cpp#L213-L214

the rest of the bits remain 0. So that one is indeed rejected.

It’s saddened me to see that no credit is given to Grin, from which you forked.

Indeed; this is essentially BitGrin (Grin + Bitcoin emission + mining tax) minus the Grin acknowledgement.

When asked earlier what distinguishes this project from BitGrin, they claimed it has no mining tax, which it now does.

That's an official non-feature :-)

389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Proof of Capacity as a replacement for Proof of Work. on: May 16, 2019, 07:35:33 AM
Thanks for that explanation, but I am still somewhat confused why that would be. In the case of mining multiple chains with PoC, there is not a "Nothing at Stake" problem that I can see.  If you mine on 2 chains, you have to devote capacity resources to 2 chains, splitting how much you can earn. Only 1 of these chains will eventually win, and then all the value you earned on the second chain is lost.

The NaS problem arises not on 2 separate chains, but on different branches of a single chain. If two blocks at the same height are found on top of the current block with the most work, then in PoW you must split your computing resources to work on both branches. But on PoC there is negligible cost to extend both.

Is Vite a partner of GRIN and is this an official wallet?

Is Electrum a partner of BITCOIN and is Electrum an official wallet?

The answers would be the same.

I misread your post as "Apple to run an Elixxir Node!" :-(

no , just another pointless coin that will end up failing.  last thing we need is more shitcoins.  Anyone buying this shit is a straight sucker.  They couldn't even come up with a better name than grin, what a joke.


Reminder: PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

I'm sorry again but maybe I'm missing something? I read your whole post there and went through some comments but I still don't get something.
You wrote that,
  • Single chip Cuckoo ASICs being meaningfully different from computation ones
  • The likelihood of single chip ASICs outperforming multi-chip ones for the next 2-8 years

And my question is: "What is bad with single chips? Why is there a conversation about changing the roadmap because of that?"

It's probably something obvious which I lack the technical knowledge to see, so sorry for the trouble! Lips sealed Cheesy

Please read all of https://www.grin-forum.org/t/scheduled-pow-upgrades-proposal
Single chips are not bad, but I thought that if you're happy with single chip ASICs you might as well use a more straightforward PoW like bitcoin's instead of a memory hard one.
With a memory hard PoW, forcing a memory IO bottleneck seemed more interesting.
394  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven. on: March 28, 2019, 10:23:41 AM

Maybe my actual proposal on the Grin Forum

https://www.grin-forum.org/t/grin-improvement-proposal-1-put-later-phase-outs-on-hold-and-rephrase-primary-pow-commitment

clarifies the issues.
395  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FutureBit Project Apollo: Bringing ASIC Mining Back to the Home Miner! on: March 04, 2019, 12:20:03 PM
This looks like a great form factor for home mining!

Do I understand correctly that the PCB houses 3x9 chips underneath that big heatsink?
I wonder how you lay out 27 chips in a square space...

Did you do the ASIC design in-house?

Any plans to branch out to other PoWs in future?
Several other memory oriented PoW have daily issuance comparable to scrypt,
like Equihash and Cuckoo Cycle.
396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is the king of Altcoin? on: March 04, 2019, 11:25:42 AM
The king of cryptocurrency is Bitcoin.

And the king of copycurrency is Litecoin.
397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Grin | PoW Mining | Electronic transactions for all. Community driven. on: February 28, 2019, 12:38:10 PM
By the way, GRIN requires 328,320$ every day to hold this price.

That's too much for a small market cap coin. 1/20 of bitcoin's daily FIAT meal.

If you make the same calculation for LTC, it is 14400coins x $44 = $633k / daily need to keep the LTC price stable.

LTC is the 5th biggest coin.

GRIN is 199th.

Doesn't look good.

Imma buyer at $0.5.


This argument strikes me as rather bogus.

LTC has way higher marketcap because it has had 2701 days of issuance, where Grin had only 44 days.

That in no way explains why Litecoin's daily issuance should be higher than Grin's.

Rather, it begs the question of why Litecoin deserves such a high daily issuance.

BITCOIN
Coins issued per day: 360 BTC (2.5 BTC per 10 minutes)

Make that 1800 BTC (12.5 BTC per 10 minutes) ...
399  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Ethereum Anti-ASIC fork, is it the right time for bitcoin too? on: February 14, 2019, 12:35:07 PM
I even made comment early on about the scrypt settings being too low and should fit in a GPU, thus the CPU-only claim being incorrect.

How much memory should scrypt have required in order not to fit on GPU?
And how long would it take to verify then?
400  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is there Any altcoins that are distributed fairly? on: February 11, 2019, 04:38:01 PM
is there Any altcoins that are distributed fairly? seems no currency in this world is done right to give everyone a fair start.

This seems to be the closest thing I have found so far https://bitswift.cash/frequently-asked-questions/   is there any others?

Do you mean a coin that can only be mined?
With no premine, instamine, ICO, mining tax, or any kind of compensation for the coin developers?
With a launch announced widely and long in advance?
With a genesis block that was provably generated just before launch?
With an initial difficulty set so high that the first few dozen blocks take much longer than average?
With reasonably optimized GPU miners available for multiple platforms from launch?

Is that the kind of altcoin you're looking for?
