There is a security issue with brain wallets in the light node.
If you used a brain wallet, then you need to move your veo to a new address as soon as possible.
In a few days I will do an update to fix brain wallets, this will make old brain wallets inaccessible.
I will also burn any leftover unsecured Veo.

Amoveo has an active governance upgrade.
The block reward might decrease by about 30%, or it might stay the same.

oracle id: FhbnDw8UWS0ZhtI4/c87YQmwdxXa71NUaadhP9Igzsw=

You can look up about this oracle from any light node  http://139.59.144.76:8080/wallet.html

Amoveo uses futarchy to power the oracle, and to power governance.
Governance controls many variables that define the Amoveo protocol, including the block reward.

Sy was successfully able to use the governance mechanism to reduce the transaction fees on Amoveo from 152000 to 96200. This is the first time someone other than me used the oracle/governance mechanism. This marks a critical achievement on Amoveo's road to success.

Please introduce me to these 5 senior software engineers. I look forward to meeting them.

The 2 previous blockchain projects I founded:
* raised tens of millions in ICO.
* hired dozens of people.
* have not launched main net yet.
* mediocre growth

Amoveo:
* raised $0 in funding.
* hired no one.
* launched main net 2 months ago
* rapid growth

Looks like the market cap is over $6 million.

I have only had to delete 1 person on discord. They were making lots of messages in the trading channel, and the messages were not related to trading. They continued to spam even after other members of the community told them it is a trading channel.
This person can easily re-join discord with a new account. The invite links are all set to never expire.

I wrote Amoveo in order to prevent abusive relationships.
If you don't like this goal, then don't participate in our community.
There are plenty of other blockchain projects for you.

I don't control the pool payouts. I don't run amoveopool2.

The main readme has a section that says "Light Node".
That is where it explains how to have an offline cold storage.

I think that this one works with AMD: https://github.com/PhamHuong92/VeoMiner

I am not planning on hiring anyone. We should use dominant assurance contracts for that: https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo/blob/master/docs/use-cases-and-ideas/raising_funds.md

Thanks for the support. I am excited about Amoveo too.

No individual has the power to change the block reward. The entire community participates in governance.

I am not a leader in the way you think. I don't have the power to make decisions like that.

If I am a leader, it is only because I try things first and teach others what I have learned.

We announced Amoveo on many other platforms.
Amoveo has a governance mechanism to change the block reward. If many new users join at once, then it would make sense for us to increase the block reward, that way we don't over-reward the early participants. This prevents the "ninja mine" problem you mention.

It is not compatible with Bitcoin miners.
Amoveo use single SHA256, and the header is smaler. overall, the Amoveo mining algorithm is about 4x shorter than the Bitcoin mining algorithm.

Hi Cryptorials,

Here is a document explaining the motivations of the oracle mechanism, and how it connects to the block consensus mechanism. https://github.com/aeternity/testnet/blob/master/docs/oracle_simple.md

Here I explain the step by step of how the oracle works https://github.com/aeternity/testnet/blob/master/docs/oracle_design.md

You are correct to analyze the oracle within the context of the block consensus mechanism. Every game is inside of a bigger game.

Yes, start here: https://github.com/aeternity/testnet

Thank you for helping testing

There are multiple proposed designs for lightning network on bitcoin, I don't know them all. I do know that some designs on bitcoin are trustless.
The Aeternity design is trustless. Jehan explained how they are trustless in this paper: http://altheamesh.com/blog/universal-payment-channels/

Here is the merkle trie database I wrote for aeternity.
https://github.com/BumblebeeBat/MerkleTrie
This is the library being used by the testnet that is live now.

It is written in erlang, and has lots of tests.
You can make and verify merkle proofs from the root of the database, and the root is recorded on each block.
I based it off of ethereum's patricia merkle trie.

Sam123 is correct.
Aeternity will eventually be it's own blockchain.
Aeons will temporarily be on the ethereum blockchain during Aeternity's development.

I think I understand what they mean by escrow. They want it to be like a dominant assurance contract.
We could do more than escrow. If we fail, we could give their money back plus interest.

If the tokensale is priced in bitcoins or eth then the exchange risk for a one year period is big.

I feel like all this money is a distraction, and we will have an easier time writing the code if we can't spend the money till we are done.

Hello.
I am writing the blockchain for Aeternity.
Here is my github https://github.com/zack-bitcoin
You can see my work on Aeternity, and on other projects I have done.

People keep asking about "escrow". I know what that word means, but I don't know what they mean in this context.
Is this about the token sale?

People are worried to put their money into a project that wont exist for a year.
I feel the same way. I haven't invested in any projects like this.
I regret my decision not to invest in the Ethereum crowdsale, or the Augur crowdsale.

My motivation to work on blockchain technology is from agorism.
I think that the most effective way to improve the world is to [censored].
Regardless of how successful Aeternity is, I will keep working on this technology.
