Hello there,

welcome to the SimpWars.

SimpWars is a game about improving the NFT metadata of your favourite Simps.

A Simp is an ERC721 Token that maps to a Twitch streamer. Each Simp is unique and can only exist once.

Currently I am looking for some help to build a community around the game. It would start with a SimpWars discord server.

Obviously my goal is for everyone who gets in early to be able to make a profit. Also, it will be open source: https://github.com/buhrmi/simpwars

Any critique, comments, feedback and help would be very much appreciated.

I can't do that, because the message that is to be multi-signed includes a list of all nodes that have sent a private key to the collector node. It's up to the nodes whether or not they want the collector node to include them in the list.

The purpose of this exercise is to implement a new consensus algorithm to replace proof-of-work. Let's call it proof-of-votes. I'm still working on the white paper. In this proof-of-votes-based chain, the chain with the cumulative highest amount of votes is the "valid" chain. Let's assume there are 10000 nodes participating in the network. In this proposed consensus algorithm, nodes cast votes by sending a one-time-use private key (m/n where n is the next block height) to the node they vote for (the collector node). The collector node then collects these keys and uses them to multi-sign the next block hash. The multi-sig is the proof-of-votes and is included in the block header, while all the nodes that voted for the collector node are included in the block body and receive coins. So up until the actual creation and signing of the block hash, the collector node doesn't even know which nodes will end up in the block body. The collector node doesn't just want to collect signatures from the nodes, because including all the signatures in the block header will make the block header balloon to unfeasible sizes. Broadcasting a multi-sig created with 5,000 private keys is feasible, but broadcasting 5,000 individual signatures is not.

When the new block is broadcasted, all the other nodes in the network need to be able to verify the multi-sig. So they take the xpubs of the 5,000 nodes included in the block body, derive the m/nth pubkey and validate the multi-sig.

So that's why I'm asking if there is a way to share a "throw-away" private key with one collector node, while at the same time having the xpub publicly available to allow all the other nodes to verify what the collector node has been doing with the private key. Without enabling the collector node to calculate the original xpriv.

Maybe BIP-32 isn't the right tool for this job. So now I wonder if there is something else that I could use to "shrink" multiple signatures into one tiny signature to implement this algorithm.

I've just added another reply to provide some background while you were answering

The purpose is to multi-sign a message that is not known to the nodes, but only to that collector node. I want to generate "one-time-use throw-away" derived private keys that this collector node can use to sign that message and prove to all other nodes in the network "all these nodes have signed this message. This multi-sig is the proof".

The issue I'm having is that when I send the collector node a hardened m/12345' key, it's impossible to verify the signature because the verifying nodes cannot derive a the corresponding hardened public key from xpub

Some more background on what I'm trying to do:

I want to implement a multi-signature process where some selected nodes send private keys derived from their xprivs by a determined derivation path (eg m/12345) to a collector node. This collector node then proceeds to multi-sign a message using those private keys, and all other nodes will be able to easily verify this multi-sig by deriving the corresponding public keys from the publicly available xpubs of those selected nodes.

But I do not want the collector node to be able to compute the original xpriv of the selected nodes. So the derived private keys that are being sent to that collector node should serve as "one-time throw-away keys".

I see, thanks.

So here is the question:

Assuming my xpub is publicly available.
Is there a way that I can send ONE derived private key (lets say m/12345) to another party, to enable the other party to sign a message ON MY BEHALF, without enabling the other party to calculate my xpriv, BUT allowing the public to verify that "yes, that message was indeed signed with the 12345th key"?

I'm trying to implement an encryption scheme that uses derived keys to enable another party to sign a message on my behalf (where I don't care about the content). Or is there already a mechanism that implements something like this?

Hey guys,

does somebody know if it's possible to compute the master key (xpriv) from multiple derived private keys?

The thing about Stellar is that there already is an enormous amount of tooling behind it. Also, when Jed made Stellar, I think he added "too many" features (like trustlines), that make it difficult to adopt by new users. It's also difficult for token issuers to convince potential receivers to use Stellar, because creating a trustline is a burden on their end. So my idea is to create a version of Stellar without these initial obstacles. I've made a repo here: https://github.com/buhrmi/aya

I'm really just interested in your guy's thoughts right now. No ICO or anything (at least, not yet)

(note: this is very early in development. will update this thread to make it look more appealing sometime in the future)

Hi all,

we're working on a new poker game, and we would love to serve all cryptos out there. Yeah, seems like an impossible task, but hey, you gotta start somewhere You can try out an example table running on $XLM (testnet) here: http://test.rocksolidpoker.net/tables/2 (the baby-themed poker isn't a good choice, we know. we're going to replace the babies with something else soon. Please make suggestions ^^)

Now we're looking for some interesting casino-type coins/tokens and/or projects to partner with, that have a strong community with an interest in poker behind them. We'd love to integrate your coin or token into our game, and open up some tables utilizing your coin. Rake on the tables is customizable between 0%. We also offer a complete deployable package for sale to host on your own server (support included).

We have some interesting features in the pipeline. Tournaments being the big one... So very soon you might be able to offer poker tournaments utilizing your favorite coin.

If you're interested in partnering up, help building a community, or exchanging ideas, just reply or send a PM.

Cheers,
buhrmi

Hi all,

we've started to work on a new poker game. You can try out an example table running on $XLM here: http://test.rocksolidpoker.net/tables/2 (yeah, the baby-themed poker isn't a good choice. we're going to replace the babies with something else soon.)

We're not looking to start yet another casino ICO. Instead, we're looking to partner up with some interesting casino-type coins/tokens and/or projects that have a strong community with an interest in poker behind them. We'd love to integrate your coin or token into our game. We also offer the complete deployable game for sale to host on your own server (support included).

yeah that's true... my signature is just my way of dealing with my own getting rekt by shitcoins in the past. so obviously i'm going to make sure that I'll build something "real" because I don't want other people to have my shitty experience too.

Even on Ethereum many ICOs instantly bite the dust. The thing I want to build could be actually seen - in my opinion - as an improvement to Steller that addresses some of its shortcomings. If you remember 3lau's attempt to offer a token (called OMF - Our music festival), they chose Stellar. But now nobody is talking about it anymore. I have my theories about why it failed (or rather, went completely silent), and the network I want to build would address exactly those reasons why I believe it went silent.

Hi all,

I really like the Stellar blockchain, and was thinking about basing my own project on this chain.

Just wanted to know if anybody knows of a cool example for an ICO based off of the Stellar network.

Here is some more info on the project with some screenshots.

The plan is to add tons and tons of UI tweaks, admin features, affiliate links for rakeback, etc over the coming weeks, and build partnerships with some cool resorts to hold tournaments.

Hi all,

I'm working on a poker website that will also have qualifiers for live tournaments, all played with bitcoin. It's all a bit rudimentary at the moment, but the overall goal is to have fun poker tournaments and good times in Macao. The resorts here offer mostly baccarat, and poker is a somewhat rare sight, so I thought it would be cool if we can make poker a little bit bigger here. Testing the waters to see if somebody here would be interested in joining our team in an early stage.

Thanks for the tip with Electrum Wallet. Didn't know it was open source. Should be easy enough to add this feature myself

Hello all,

I was wandering if there is a software that can automatically import a list of derivation paths, using a private key stored in TREZOR as the root.

For example, I have a list of paths like `m/4/0`, `m/44/23`, `m/59/2/4`, all derived from the BIP44 master xpub stored on TREZOR, and would like to import them all into a wallet to easily allow batch transactions. Is there a wallet that can do this?

I offered them to join their "panel discussion" to talk about ideas how to add more utility to CHSB and increase the demand and price but instead the decide to just outright physically ban token holders from their events. that just proves that they have no clue of anything and are just stupid pussies. dead project. retard leadership. i keep hodling tho because u never know.

i went to one of their meetups in Japan and got drunk and called their token a shitcoin, then for the next meetup their "Head of Communications" Alexander Fazel tried to hire security to keep me out but failed cuz they have no authority.... lol

Here is the next meetup https://www.meetup.com/Tokyo-Blockchain-Unchained-Meetup/events/254203868/

will report back here

Hello all,

I'm buhrmi and I like making browser-based games.

Currenly I work in a company that does lots of ICOs, but most of the time does not follow through with the promised projects. Obviously that is very frustrating, so I decided to quit and work on a browser-based game where people can deposit coins (currently ERC20, but hoping to support more platforms in the future) and use them as currency in the game to power up their characters, buy equipment, etc. There will also be some sort of exchange functionality.

It's still in the early stages and almost nothing of the actual game is done, but I'm already looking for people who are interested in helping building a community. I don't really plan an ICO for this, but instead plan to offer Original Shitcoins™ simply as reward for participating in the project.

I've set up a telegram channel, so please join if you feel like hanging out and talk about shitcoins all day long https://t.me/shitcoinworld

Best,
buhrmi

Note that it's still pre-ICO and you can't send funds to it directly. Will make a new post when we launch the contract to accept funds.
