[ASN] Ascension

Roadmap

___________

Our goals

___________

We've seen so much scams in the cryptocurrency world. That's why when we had the opportunity to takeover Ascension we did. Like written above in the roadmap, we plan right now to make Ascension an usefull crypto to the people. We don't want to make a currency that has just the ability to be exchanged for BTC on an exchange, we want to return at the root of the money, with a crypto that as a REAL use. Isn't the the main utility of a currency to buy things with ? That's why we'll work on massive adoption by merchants and stores. We want that this crypto is benefit to this community and for this we'll release a lot of services backed by Ascension such as a crowdfunding platform, an ebay-like site all backed by the anonymity and the safeness. After that Ascension is well-established, we'll work on masternodes, which will be implented just after the ebay-like site release. Together we'll ascend again !

The Ascension has begun.

Target block time: 120 second block time

Proof: PoW + PoS Hybrid

Duration: PoW Ends at Block 8500 (7 days mining)

Note: block 1 contains 225,000 premine, blocks 2 to 100 are empty and used for the 2 checkpoints to secure the blockchain.

PoW Block Reward: 101 - 8500 = Reward is equal to previous block number

Total PoW period coins: ~18,366,434.32052889

PoS initiation: Block 50 (it runs concurrent with PoW)

Mininum PoS stake age: 12 hours min coin stake age

PoS block reward: 20% Annual Interest on Staked coins

Max Clock Drift: 1 hours + or -

TCP port Main: Main: 6225 RPC: 6224

TCP port Testnet: Main: 16225 RPC:16224

The first 86 blocks were mined prior to launch. Block 1 contained the pre-mine. Blocks 2 through 86 were empty blocks. A checkpoint was set to secure the network. The first block after this post will be block 87.

SAMPLE CONF:

Quote

rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=yourip
rpcport=6224
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

Two seed-nodes are hard-coded into the wallet. Add-nodes in the conf file are not required.

The new Ascension wallet BETA is here! You can download it from the links at the top of this post. It contains a few new features that will be elaborated on below. In short, it now has a block explorer inside the wallet itself, has in-wallet encrypted messaging (which we call AscendChat), and contains coin-join mixing technology (which we call AscendSend). Without further ado, on to the details:

AscendChat is encrypted in-wallet chat. You simply click on messages and then select the address you want to chat from, and the address you want to chat to. Enter your message and click send. Then click OK. Your message is now sent. You can now chat back and forth, securely, with anyone you wish.

AscendSend is essentially the coin-join feature with an ASN tweak or two. The nodes have been set up with 5001ASN on each for mixing purposes. This is required in order for it to mix coins properly. The current limit on AscendSend is 5000ASN per transaction. This may be increased in the near future, but for now, don't send over 5000ASN in one transaction. This process requires a specific order of actions to achieve the desired result of sending through the coin-mixer.

1. Create a new wallet address and label it 'mixer'
2. Send the amount of coins you want to send to your new 'mixer' address
3. Wait for ~25 confirmations to pass.
4. Enable coin control from the advanced features options in the wallet. Check how many coins are located in the wallet called mixer and how many confirmations have passed for the mixer address balance.
5. Go to the send coins page in the wallet.
6. Enter the destination address.
7. Enter the amount of coins you want to mix (To a maximum limit of 5000)
8. Select the 'sendanon' checkbox
9. Press send and wait for a short amount of time for the notification to return. You will see a smaller amount in the notification due to the process splitting up the TX in to smaller amounts.
10. The mixers will now process the smaller TX then send into the block chain to the destination address.

Android Wallet

___________

The staking android wallet for ASN is complete. We want ASN to have a lot of mobile options, and this is the first step towards that goal. It is completed, and is in final testing stage right now. It did not make this update, but it will be released this coming week. Below are two preview screenshots. The first is an android phone, the second is an android tablet:

P2P loans

___________

Ascension offer the unique possibility for anyone that want it to provide loans to someone else. We'll handle every transactions, helped by SebastianJu, who will be our escrow. We provide a lender-protection warranty, so you won't get scammed one more time Wink

The proof of work period has ended. Ascension is fully proof of stake. Many thanks to the pools who hosted ASN during the PoW stage. They're listed below in slots 2, 3, 4. If you'd like to acquire ASN you have two options. You can mine on a multi-pool and get paid in ASN (see slot 1 below), or you can buy it on an exchange (see the section below this one.)

Many thanks to the exchanges currently hosting ASN. They're listed below in slots 1, 2, 3. If you run an exchange and are interested in adding ASN, please contact us here via PM or email us at: AscensionDev@yahoo.com

Many thanks to the service providers who've added ASN. These include Coinmarketcap in slot 1, block explorers: in slot 2 - Cryptoid, 3 - Cryptoplorer, 4 - CryptoBE, countmycrypto in slot 5, and our first faucet by coinia in slot 6. If you run a service and are interested in adding ASN, please contact us here via PM or email us at: AscensionDev@yahoo.com

We're not big believers in making a lot of hype and noise without substance. We prefer to work on features and services until they're completed and thoroughly tested, and then release them. We'll be better communicating what's incoming from now on. We'll listen to feedback. We'll keep working hard for the ASN community. Achievements, News, Features and Services will be listed below as added.

Current pre-mine resides at this address: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/asn/address.dws?12.htm As you can see, that puts the pre-mine at the #25 wallet on the rich-list. These coins aren't for our personal use. They're for the benefit of the coin, to be used for bounties to acquire needed features and services for Ascension. We've begun utilizing the pre-mine for exactly that. The available bounties are as follows :

Paper wallet generator - 5000ASN
Gambling/dice - 5000ASN
Web wallet - 20000ASN
Mobile wallet - 50000ASN (iOS, Windows)

Android PAID - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/asn/address.dws?AW4D6mPUTCzqHv3McgD86AHHfS6FXQQEMc.htm
French translation PAID - https://chainz.cryptoid.info/asn/address.dws?AeFcNaGMbMs2arG9o4tvCgtQmMAYFyr4tH.htm

Please DON'T do the work for any of these bounties until you PM us and get our approval. We don't want you to do all that hard work if someone has already staked a claim to it. The finished product must function properly to be paid the bounty. (this includes translations NOT being google translate) If you believe you can add something worthy of a bounty that isn't listed here, please PM us or post it on the thread. Please note: The bounty funds are very limited, if you'd like to donate ASN to the bounty fund you can send it directly to the address:

AHerhZuCY5hSa7TLggSYFvtSJokFJkiVnK

All donations received to the pre-mine wallet will be used for bounty purposes ONLY

We have also paid out of pocket for several features and services in BTC. But our funds are limited. We have a couple of amazing offers we're considering right now from services such as Coingateway and Coinpayments, but they are more expenses and our funds are limited. If you'd like to contribute to the Ascension fund you can donate to the following BTC address:

175T4g4PXyzLQfREfwZhDuiEhbMgm6nc9D

Any BTC donations received will be used to acquire services and platforms such as those listed above. Thank you.
