Great article about interoperability and its challenges.
https://spec-rationality.com/interoperability-overview/

Hey Team or whoever reads this
What's happening behind the curtains ?
Just chilling and enjoying some good time after pulling an exit scam ? still trying to figure out how to continue working without funds left ? Stealth mode but very slow ?
I mean, everybody invested beginning 2017 and still nothing tangible out. So a bit of news would be fantastic though I now believe you are just very good scammers who just ran away with the funds and still have ongoing pre-ico running (sic) after 2 years of broken promises in case some stupid want to invest.
A fellow investor you have deceived, maybe stolen from.

At least you came, I think you're the only BC supporter who took the time to post here, most are just ranting/talking on tg but not willing to create some attraction to this thread...

It would be a good idea I think, but it is lot of work and I did this thread for the fun, nothing more, I am not part of the team and don't think they would pay for it.
So if you consider it as an exercise and fun, go ahead, but if your goal is to get a compensation (apart from a warm thx for the team and a welcome in the community) better not.
But it is indeed a very promising project indeed and one worth to follow. Come on EMBnation forum to join the fun.

God damn it, finally someone showing up here !!! hurray Glad to see you Codonyat

Yeah, BC is for now the first interoperability without validators, gonna hit hard when everything is up and working. Expecting some hype coming through once borderless will be useable by non tech guys.
And soon mining will be possible and get rewards, for everyone wanting to.

Latest article which sums up why BC is a fantastic project pushing decentralization further, no validators, mineable very soon. get your gears ready.

Because the project is still in development, finalizing it, so tokens will be unlocked in the coming months, 21-23 april community vote should be the moment.
Lot to come until then.

POED
 The mechanism Block Collider uses to weave the bridged chains together is built into the multichain’s consensus mode, Proof-of-Distance (PoD). Competitors in the space, as mentioned earlier, use validators or trusted nodes to find the latest block-state for every chain they are bridging. Block Collider takes a different approach, tasking its miners with solving for PoD, a variation of Proof-of-Work which is based on Cosine Distance
PoD involves miners who receive the latest blocks from each bridged-chain. They are tasked with finding a hash that lies between all of the header hashes of that miners have collected from the bridged chains
 it is a mathematical and fully decentralized solution to finding the “intermediary hash” of all bridged chains at any given time. Miners who successfully find the closest intermediary hash, thereby creating the next Block Collider block, are rewarded in NRG, the native currency in Block Collider’s multichain  There is only one next block, making for a hypercompetitive mining process, which will only scale as more bridged chains are included into the protocol.
The "mining" of the Collider multichain is the computational challenge of finding a hash that satisfies a minimum edit distance between the hashes of member chains, its transactions, and its previous block. Block Collider uses the Cosine Similarity algorithm to score the similarity between two hashes.
the Collider multichain is targeted to release a new block approximately 5.5 seconds lagged behind the most recent block of any of the bridged blockchains.

Basically BC's blocks are created by finding the nearest block of the bridged chains, adapting constantly.

I hope this helps a bit.
To find more, whitepaper, TG advanced group, website.

To anyone wanting to dig in the project, site has been updated, new cool stuff, mining, decentralization, BC swag, and all needed to dig it. Devs wanting to help out, very open community always up for new brains, "We are looking for core developers in RUST and Node.js, scientists of cryptography and mathematics, and have multiple specialists working with Development Grants"
 

Indeed LoyceV made it happen. I hope those given merits were worth it. Anybody wanting to contribute to this page is more than welcomed. Will update it as more info pours in.
Thx for the support guys.

This is a community thread of Block Collider (http://www.blockcollider.org)



A mineable multi-chain protocol for stable coins, decentralized exchanges, and meta contracts.
Building a stable global state of the entire blockchain ecosystem. No validators, master-nodes, or centralization of any kind.





Block Collider is the first true “multi-chain”, which at genesis will connect 6 chains - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo, Waves, Lisk and another chain that is yet to be named. Block Collider’s core ledger is the aggregate of all blocks on all member chains, giving rise to the term “multi-chain”.
With the adoption of Block Collider’s multichain technology:
• transactions and smart contracts can initiated or executed by smart contracts on other blockchains
• secure transactions can be bridged between blockchains without "witnesses", "trusted nodes", or
centralization of any kind
• transactions between chains can be sped up beyond the speed of either bridged chain
• smart contracts can be guaranteed to execute automatically
• distributed application developers can modularly combine exotic features from blockchains
across the ecosystem
• distributed application developers can build in the capability to load-balance work between
chains
All of these features can occur without code changes to any of the bridged chains — the system is
designed to be compatible with the existing ecosystem. Moreover, with its quick block times, and
with the drastic deduplication of work that its architecture provides, the Block Collider makes an
exceptional platform upon which to build truly decentralized systems.

To get started trading using developer mode: https://github.com/blockcollider/bcnode/blob/master/README.md. Important to note you should not be syncing with other developers during this time. Sycronized mining happens after the community vote. People who can get ahead during this time: building a custom miner, building a mining pool, building a block explorer, building your own decentralized exchange on Block Collider. Keep the conversation in the BUILDERS GUILD: https://www.embnation.com/c/builders-guild

Short time Roadmap
March 2nd 2019 to April 21st - “Momentum Building: Arc Block Period” Together the Block Collider core team, 5 research contributors, 300 Evangelists and 1400 people in Block Collider Advanced. That is more engineers than work at CBOE + NYSE + NASDAQ combined. Anyone can request the ARC Block. UD mode enables working together on the open source code base.

April 21st to April 23rd - The community will vote on EMB Nation reviewing the outcome of the Arc Block Period. If the vote clears the ARC BLOCK will be sent to all clients (even consumers).
Clients, mining pools, other languages, and all of the amazing things you can do with Proof of Distance.
Goal is to build together, decentralize as it should, resolve any issues, contributing with code, bug reports and documentation to the project to make the first, validator free, true DEX even better than it already is!
Actual Roadmap pic below is pretty outdated, changes, delays and such.
A new one will come after the annoucement of Overline

This being a community thread, me being non technical, any valuable source of info is welcome, will update as it comes. I'm a little light on the mining/tech part and feel some more content could be useful in this ANN

What a good system to avoid low quality post.
What a bummer for me who hasn't been active since some time and who wanted to create a new ANN thread for an existing project who doesn't have proper ann. So my goal is to post a high quality content that would reward me with some merit points, but needing to get the merit point beforehand to be able to create my thread.
Which is very similar to the hen and the egg situation, except here it seems I sure have to be a hen in order to create an egg  
Wil have to go and post some good stuff it seems. Bummer
This feature really limits antisocial persons wanting to develop something and interact at minima with others ahaha
Anyway, freedom and decentralization have their limit... scams, fud, low content needs to be moderated in a way.

SuperDAO communication is damn horrible, you guys just can't do it right it seems, and worst is that all our investment is stuck in your hands,
No news, updates, very late, nothing positive here, even the youtube video was not working properly (the one from telegram channel)
I don't know what you guys are doing on the side but it is clear you are not competent enough for this activity. I regret immensly to have given you trust with my funds, as of today it would be worth way more than it is in this evergoing pre-sale with no public sale (SIC)
You're not scammers but you're just way over your head. I never seen a project managed so badly than this one and don't argue with the "we focus on real work) communication is real work and achieving promised goals creates serious companies... unlike you.
Anyway thanks to you we'll have DAICO's so you can't just steal people's money without having any legal issues and a shitty roadmap never  respected.
You are a fraud and frauds should go in front of judges and take responsability.
I'll pass by again soon to see what you can answer to this.

Same here, and after many attempts got a sent mail notification, but never received it (since 20 minutes now)
Overloaded I guess, sucks

What do the team plan to do with the unsold pre-sale allocated tokens ?
If I understand correctly 3 millions have been allocated and 712542 have not been sold yet.
and the total supply being of 100 MILLIONS  that holders will be able to stake, which means there is 97 millions to be staked which seems quite huge and not good for investors as price will be driven down. Any burn plans to create more scarcity or airdrops ?
How long will the team's tokens will be locked and how ? because 12%
Also with the SUP price being of 23$ we would have a marketcap of 60 millions$ which is bound to go down with the little marketing you guys are doing and the project still being in creation.
Another concern is for the investors that got in before the smart contract creation because we have no clue at what price they got in which is good to know.
When do you plan on launching a real marketing campaign ? Not just with bounties but with the funds you already have.
You should think thoroughly about all this and try to find ways to reward the long term investors and not just by "staking" or asserting that at this price it is a steal because that's just not how it works in crypto specially until we haven't seen any game changing working product.
I checked the new site and it does give infos but it is not well done at least for Mozilla. everything is messed up, we can't read everything and it makes it "cheap"
it is also missing some crucial informations on the repartition diagram to see what goes to who.
Thanks for answering to all this.

Hi justcharlz,
I thank you for all those answers to me and to others who have been worrying about the outcomes of this investment and project.
I like all that you are saying and find it promising, I acknowledge the fact that this is lot of work and time spent on communicating is not directly profitable as to the project itself.
I also apologize for the terms I have used in 2 of my messages. The goal was to point out that communication is paramount, and until now you guys have not been really good at it (which does not mean you are incompetent on the programing part for sure)
Though marketing and communication will in the end still be quite important, and if you guys are not enought for that well that's where the bounties and the community comes handy.
I would personnaly play the game and try to promote in a reasonable manner this project as long as I have the ammos for it (not tokens but real dev infos, upgrades and roadmap checks)
I looked for the bounty program and still quite don't understand what it is used for. I never used metamask so I will begin by this, but it might be cool to give some more precise informations. I guess the "claim page" will be what I am asking.
Anyway quite surprised to have had such a complete answer from you, and hoping it will continue this way.
The more we communicate here the more infos for everybody to read and have access to.
good luck to you all

What is sure is that this project is super well bad managed !!!!
Scam or not it is just a joke, pre-ico only at 40% discount, we feel way better now you said that, our bonus becomes irrelevant.
Let just stay that you have no clue how to create momentum and having good marketing.
If I had knew this project would take so long I would not have invested a penny. Thiefs and/or incompetents, that's what you guys seem like.
I'll come back later to check the development (In 4 weeks since a launch is on the roadmap)

Newbie question(s)
I installed wallet on my windows 10
But I get connection time out message, what could be the problem ?
In case, I run Gokucoin wallet that works perfectly.
If someone could give me some hints, that would be great.

I qent you a PM, airdrop and early investor.
If you can add some more infos and links it would be very useful and appreciated.
