Alterdot is a domain name system IPFS content registration service using its own open source blockchain (blockchain DNS).

For its practical use, users can install a special browser extension:

ADOT is a cryptocurrency designed to pay for the services of the Alterdot platform, as well as a regular digital payment instrument.

Cryptocurrency ADOT is traded on exchanges:

• exbitron (paired with USDT and BTC);
• cratex (for BTC, LTC and DOGE);

at a price of 6-7 dollars per thousand coins (06/22/2022):


The coin has recently appeared on the exchange, the trading volume is too small, so it is too early to judge the real ADOT price and capitalization.

For everyday use of ADOT coins, you can use the client wallet, which can be downloaded from the project website or on Github:


The distribution of ADOT across wallets is quite fair (“whales” own 37% of all coins, while less than 8% of the total amount of ADOT is stored on the Development Fund and Dev Fund Hot wallets):



What are the features of the Alterdot (ADOT) cryptocurrency?

Alterdot is characterized by the following technical features:

• Alterdot is a fork of DASH. The blockchain runs on a hybrid PoS + PoW consensus algorithm with argon2d-16000 hashing (a variant of argon2d Dynamic cryptocurrency for CPU + GPU);
• until 01/30/2021, the Alterdot blockchain used the argon2d250 algorithm;
• target time between blocks - 128 seconds until block 1 million, then - 360 seconds (240 blocks / day);
• from block 1,034,000 mining difficulty is refined using the LWMA algorithm;
• the reward for the block found starting from 2022 is equal to 10 ADOT coins, of which: 4 for miners and masternode owners, 2 for the development fund. Annual inflation with this amount of remuneration is less than 5%;
• on the network, it is possible to use privacy technologies and accelerated (up to 2 seconds) transactions (Mixing and InstantSend);
• the minimum cost of a transaction in the Alterdot network is 0.0001 ADOT;
• running a masternode requires at least 10,000 ADOT coins.

Who created and promotes the Alterdot cryptocurrency?

The development of the Alterdot project is carried out by an anonymous group of developers ( Github ):


There was no ICO to promote the project, all funds are collected by allocating part of the coins generated during the generation of blocks to the development fund.

How to mine Alterdot (ADOT) cryptocurrency?

You can mine ADOT coins on the argon2d-16000 (argon2d-bcrs) algorithm:

• on AMD CPU/GPU using srbminer-multi 0.8.8+ (fee 0.85%);
• on the processor - in the cpuminer-opt-kudaraidee program (an open source program);
• on Nvidia graphics cards - a.multiminer (open source program).

For mining on the argon2d-16000 algorithm, the video card must have at least 4 GB of memory.

You can choose a pool for mining Alterdot (ADOT) on miningpoolstats:

Hashrate of some video cards when mining on the argon2d_16000 algorithm, H/s:

• AMD Radeon R9 290/290X - 1050-1150 (srbminer-multi 0.9.4);
• AMD Radeon RX464 - 1600-1650 (srbminer-multi 0.9.7);
• AMD Radeon RX584 - 2600-2750 (srbminer-multi 0.9.7);
• AMD Radeon RX6700XT - 9300-9400;
• AMD Radeon RX6800XT - 12700-12800;
• AMD Radeon RX6900XT - 13700-13800.

Mining Alterdot (ADOT) on a CPU on an Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz processor (xubuntu 16.04, 3 threads, hashrate 330 H/s):


On four threads, the Intel I5-4670 processor produces 380-390 H / s. Other processors on four threads produce the following hashrate:

• Intel i7-8700K 3.70GHz - 580;
• Intel i7-7700 3.60GHz - 520;
• engineering Intel I7-6400T (QHQG) 2.20GHz - 350;
• engineering Intel I5-6400T (SR2L1) 2.20GHz - 330;
• Intel i5-4590 3.30GHz - 390;
• Intel i5-4570R CPU 2.70GHz -460;
• Intel i5-7400 3.00GHz - 370;
• Intel i5-3570K 3.40GHz - 330;
• Intel Celeron G1840 2.80GHz - 70 (1 stream);
• AMD Ryzen 3 3100 - 590.

You can calculate the approximate income from mining Alterdot coins (ADOT) using the calculator on miningpoolstats or on minerstat:


At the time of writing, the calculator was showing "cosmic income" due to the incorrect setting of the reward for the found block. More accurately, income can be calculated manually, guided by information from the zergpool pool (Current Estimate).

As of 06/22/2022, ADOT mining yields 0.0276 mBTC (0.55 USD) per 1 KH/s (dirty, excluding electricity price), which is not too bad, especially for CPU mining.

Conclusion

Alterdot (ADOT) is new to the world of cryptocurrencies. While she can not boast of a large number of users. Due to its insufficient use as a means of payment and a means of exchange trading, the coin is subject to strong volatility. This allows you to earn or lose funds in the speculative trading of ADOT coins.

The ADOT coin is of particular interest to the mining community in terms of novelty and low gluttony of the algorithm, as well as (still) low mining difficulty.

If the domain name system linked to the Alterdot blockchain gains popularity, the ADOT cryptocurrency will open up new horizons…

I understand your concerns/curiosity when it comes to tackling these real world (existential) problems, but do not forget that projects start out from passion. Andrew2k has been with BCRS from the start but he was never in a leadership role making executive decisions, the project has been adrift from the start.

Now that Andrew2k has stepped up we can expect developments with a sense of direction, this is not to say that this project will be a success but it does say that time and effort will be spent. The onus is on him including the entrepreneurial risk that comes with the job. Let's give it some time and see where he leads it. 

I have restarted the 0AC chain, starting from Genesis and pushed for a wallet update on github that fixes mining pool payouts:

Thank you for the compliments, credit for the inbuilt miner goes to Duality Blockchain Solutions. Rewards are purposefully low but are bound to incease substantially over time, as the ServiceNode network matures so will their and the miner's total payouts. You are correct that at this time it is more profitable to mine CRDS however CRDS inflation is high while Ankh overal inflation is low. We are very conscious of the effects of inflation as a cost.

I understand what you are asking for which is essentially why would there be any value to this project? In the current state the whole crypto industry is aiming for use case as the sole reason to drive demand but they are neglecting that without countercyclical measures value comes and goes, there is no damping in price oscillations. Because most if not all crypto projects want to stay 100% clear from central control due to legal reasons they are most likely without any means other then hording people into their project. Be it active marketing or providing use case for continual demand.

The situation is a bit like a comparison between a row and a sailboat, where single coin but use case driven projects are actively rowing to get ahead we want to leverage the wind and sail to our destination (use case is secondary)

Hello barnes13, there is a common history with both Credits and Sequence, both projects remain as contacts. There is no curremt white paper, for now we are content to make sure that the wallets have a similar appearance, function as intended. We would like to keep them up to date and perhaps port over certain functions from one to the other. In the future we might add specific Fluid parameters to better accommodate changing market conditions. Of course secondary projects like Desktop wallets or Mobile wallets could be initiated.

Small steps

Ankh (Place holder OP)
Exploring Value Resonance
In an industry where the standard is to focus on use case and product demand Ankh will explore the concept of value resonance. Value resonance is achieved when the value of two financial instruments are defined along separate axes while maintaining market cap parity, Ankh Trusts in countercyclical monetary actions to stimulate or dampen markets using its collateral as a hedge.

Ankh_Electrum	(0AE) - PoS
	Market Cap Parity Through_value_resonance_market_volatility is displaced from Credit to Electrum Disinflationary With a fixed reward rate, the procentual increase eventually converges from 2 to 0% of the total supply Cold Staking Splitting spending and staking rights across two public keys enhances investor security
Ankh_Credit	(0AC) - PoW Argon2d-dyn
	ServiceNodes A_reward_based_network_of_collateralized full-nodes that offer functions to the network Platform Oriented A mature ServiceNode network has the potential to provide a myriad of blockchain driven solutions Fluid Protocol An on-chain parameter control mechanism that allows for fundamental changes

Airdrop
To get a headstart we will allow all private holders of Credits (CRDS) or Sequence( SEQ) to participate. Credits holders will be credited Ankh Credit at a 1:1 ratio while Sequence holders will receive Electrum also 1 to 1. As with any airdrop you will keep CRDS and/or SEQ, this is not a swap. The initial supply of Ankh Credit is 8,000,000 0AC, Ankh Electrum starts with 50,000,000 0AE.

On the 11th of November we will take a snapshot of both Credits (CRDS) and Sequence (SEQ), so that all public key balances are known for this blockheight. We will provide a Google Form on which you can register your public key with a signature that proves ownership.

The signing process is simple and can be done through the wallet software either by using the Sign Message tab under File or by using the signmessage command in debug console. A more detailed how-to guide will be provided on the coming form.

In order to receive your tokens you will need to provide us your Ankh Credit and Ankh Electrum return address through the designated form field. We will check your publickey signature and verify that you are indeed the holder of said key and simply look up your balance and credit to your return address. This will be a bit of a time consuming process and so we ask for a bit of patience.
Credit supply creation

Block spacing 30 seconds or 2880 blocks a day
Max supply 2^63-1, technical limitation

Current rewards & collateral
ServiceNodes 0.000 0AC
Mining 0.026 0AC
Collateral 50,000 0AC

Target rewards
ServiceNodes 7.3% per annum
Mining up to 25% of the yearly  ServiceNode reward divided by block creation
Parameters will be controlled using the fluid protocol

Example:
50 Active ServiceNodes
50 * 50,000 * 7.3% = 182,500 0AC per year
2880 * 365 = 1,051,200 blocks per year

50,000 * 7.3% / 365 = 10 0AC per day for ServiceNodes
182,500 * 0.25 / 1,051,200 = 0.0434 0AC per block for Miners

All,

The Bittrex wallet has been turned off at the request of the development team. This was done to protect the coin and community. While this is earlier than planned, your coins are safe. If your coins are on Bittrex that is ideal. If you didn't send your coins in time, or if you sent your coins after the cutoff, don't worry your coins are safe.

Please follow these steps if your coins are not on Bittrex.

Create an account at:
https://duality.solutions/login
Send your DYN to the account's wallet
The duality team will follow up with instructions.

Thank you for your support and please be patient with the support team. It will take a considerable amount of time to get to all requests.

Thank you,

The Duality Team

We have noticed unexpected behaviour on the Dynamic(DYN) chain. As blocktimes started to reduce and blockgeneration increased the difficulty retarget algorithm failed to gain control. We have observed this and concluded that the problem would not correct itself automatically.

As of 21:30 GMT+1 a snapshot of the chainstate was taken of the blockchain and Bittrex withdrawals/deposits have been frozen, trading can continue however. The new Dynamic is near completion and needs some testing, we aim for the swapout on Bittrex to be done in 2-4 weeks.

The swapout was planned regardless of recent circumstances, due to current events we are forced to act prematurely. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

update:
* As the market is frozen until the new chain is live Dynamic holders that have their coins still on Bittrex will be automatically swapped by Bittrex. All other holder need to swap through duality.solutions, for this we will inform the public in due time.

* Further update on Dynamic, the block times have corrected and are spacing correctly again. We are still keeping the Dynamic wallet on Bittrex closed/frozen for withdrawals/deposits and are assessing the situation over the next 24 hours. Mining can continue and coins are still valid going onwards, trading can also continue for those that have Dynamic on the exchange already. If after 24 hours everything is ok, we will request for the Dynamic wallet to be unfrozen by Bittrex. The chain swap is still targeted for 2-4 weeks time on Bittrex for those that hold coin here and through Duality for those that hold coin off the exchange.

* We have notified Bittrex to reopen the wallet for Dynamic
