You want your project to be self adopted by the entire users across the world and to experience what true power of decentralization entails, but with regulations problems against used of privacy coins, how do you plan to tackle such problems. It wouldn't be funny if your coin is labeled as alternate monero. We are all aware of dark web and how they utilize monero for their daily transactions.

Thank you for your comment.

1. Short answer: we don't have control over it. We have our vision and we will keep developing it as much as we can.
2. Regulators can't really ban something if it's used for bad things - did they ban cash because it's still the number one way drug deals go down?
3. Decentralization is key: we are looking for integration with some decentralized exchanges (DEX)

Russian translation - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281806.0

Could you explain the next point?
Quote
Dynamic Rewards essentially means that the rewards don't constantly inflate or deflate,
it will be based on the market conditions every year, but there will also be a constant year (6th year).
In our case where it takes away 1/4th of whatever the first 6 years worth of PoW was,
this kind of system makes sure our coins are well distributed and not too inflated.

Will they be permanent for 1 or 6 years? What will the block reward depend on, on what market conditions?
Not from the hashrate will depend on the difficulty?

Hello! Rewards and difficulty are two different things. To the network, the difficulty and rewards are different constants, and they're both based on different curves.

Hi

I just notice now, that there is no STELLITE anymore, but I still hold lots of tokens. Can I still swap it to Scala now or am I too late ?
If I still can, how can I do that ?

Thank u and best regards.

Hello! No, you're not too late. Just follow every step in this guide: https://medium.com/scala-network/scala-swap-tool-instructions-e6c7248c0ab4

Our Android miner has been designed for ARMv8 architecture devices. It works on some ARMv7 but not all.

I admire the resiliency of the team for continuing their journey in crypto. Because if their foundation is weak, I am guessing this has long been abandoned by the team members already. They changed their names several times and yet, they are still here trying to compete with other blockchain projects. And if they can truly execute their goals, increasing their value will not be hard. I am with the idea that if they have actual application, it would not be too difficult to gain momentum in exchanges. So I am wishing all the best for Scala Team to carry out their mission here.  Wink

Thanks for the kind words. Our lead blockchain dev (Hayzam) has been there since the beginning and is a great asset for us. Our core team is really strong and we have overcome a lot of challenges in the last few years. We are passionate about what we do and we love building disruptive technology. Hard work always pay! And to be honest, it's already paying off for us because we're very proud of what we do and we're learning more every day.

P.S. We have a lot of exciting stuff coming... Roll Eyes

Nice to see a new thread and the project going on.

Any chance to have the same features on Iphones ?

Thanks! Unfortunately, Apple doesn't grant access to core CPU resources on their devices, so we don't plan to release a miner for iOS.

The Mobile Wallet for iOS is on our backlog though!

Nice, I forgot about this project, but I still have some mined coins somewhere...glad to see I can still swap

Hey guys! Just to let you know that Stellite has rebranded to Scala.

In the last year, we have released almost everything that was in our initial Stellite roadmap. You can mine with CPU and ARM devices (Android only).

This is a good question! We have written an article about this, you can read it there: https://medium.com/scala-network/mobile-mining-the-whys-and-hows-3e589029fa74

Even now, ARMs are more energy efficient than x86 CPUs and the speeds can easily compete with older CPU variants. More and more laptop manufacturers are also starting to utilize the energy-efficient ARM architecture. And since mining is all about energy efficiency, we think that we’re in a good spot with the vision we have!

We don't really do typical "roadmaps", because we work in a complex environment and we adopt agile practices.

This being said, we do have a vision for the project, so here is an overview of the main items we have in our backlog for 2020/2021:

1. CLI/GUI wallets: Point release (stability improvements)
2. GUI Miner: Update to Panthera
3. LdPoW v2: Minor release (performance improvements)
4. New block explorer
5. Scala Community Contribution System (CCS): Web App
6. Scala Cortex: Mobile Wallet and Miner all-in-one single app
7. CDN integration with LdPoW for second layer Scala solutions: At the moment LdPoW is third layer - meaning it is not fully integrated as part of the network

May I know what's kind of bot you implemented in your telegram? Yesterday I tried to join your telegram group and a bot of yours gave a welcome to me then my telegram get closed suddenly after I open it again there is no message from that bot. I don't know what's going on so I decided to leave the group, scanning my laptop and there is no virus, threat, etc had been detected.

We use Shieldy.

And the value right now is really really cheap - below 1sat.
Any immediate plans on how to increase the value of your coin?

First of all, our focus is more on creating business value than increasing the value of our coin. We don't want to be "just" another cryptocurrency that you can mine and exchange for BTC. Our next milestone is developing the CDN that will allow us to offer a real service to businesses.

This being said, it's not that we don't care about the price of XLA. We do care about it at a certain level. We have increased our presence on social media (Twitter, Telegram, Reddit, etc) and this thread is also another initiative that we wanted to do once our project was stable (which it is now). And for those of you wondering... yes, we plan on listing on new exchanges. But we really want to use our premine wisely and efficiently.
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POW] Scala | Smart ⭐, Mobile 📱, Distributed 🌐 and Anonymous 🕵️ on: September 15, 2020, 05:44:04 PM
Thanks for your interest in our project! Here is a little background about us. (Sorry for the long thread!)

Our name was "Stellite" at our inception back in January 2018, some of you may have heard about us at this time. We have always been focused on mobile-friendly pow algorithms and app development. In January 2018 we started with a 0.6% premine that allowed us to start building the foundation of our project and pay for exchange listing and some basic expenses. We had our own topic here and also great support from the community: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2813261.0

Unfortunately, we received a lawsuit in 2019 because the name "Stellite" is copyrighted by Kennametal. We didn't have a choice but to choose a new name in a hurry, so we rebranded to "Torque". It was not a chain swap, just a name change.

Since we were not really happy with the name "Torque", we decided to rebrand one last time to "Scala" with the release of Himalaya, the v6 version of our chain that allowed us to bring our mobile-friendly ecosystem to reality. This rebrand was also not a chain swap, just a change of name.

Unfortunately, we had some sync issues with our v6 chain, so we decided to perform a swap to a new chain, called Panthera (v7) and also develop our own light version of Delayed-Proof-of-Work (LdPoW). So we conducted the swap on July 31, 2020 with our exchanges, and provided a Swap Tool for the users that were not able to swap before this deadline. This tool is still up-and-running: https://medium.com/scala-network/scala-swap-tool-instructions-e6c7248c0ab4

After overcoming problems we had with our short premine when we first started (Stellite), v7 has officially addressed everything that we initially had set out to finish in our whitepaper and more. Unfortunately following this development, we quickly have run out of funds to continue forward, this is one of the reason that we decided to set aside around 3 years' worth of PoW rewards for the development and progression of the project for the next 5 to 6 years.

If you have any other question, feel free to ask them here Smiley
