[VAL] Validity - Decentralized Identities, Custom Assets, Elections, and More!

[ilic]

Hey all, just noticed RADS on Poloniex have dropped quite substantially from their recent highs.  I figure a good time to buy in, so i've put a bit of BTC in!


Sounds like an interesting project from what i've read so far.  Good luck with it.  I'm more with the DASH camp though!

do the new feature with voting help to increase fees or staking rewards? In other words will I get more from staking after mass using of voting on RADS?

[BlockHell]

I would like to join RADS Slack, can someone paste here the invitational link?

Slack doesn't support now by Dev Team, use Tele - https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@RadiumOfficial

Radium Update #37 — Radium SmartChain v3.2 Release, SmartChain Elections and Blockchain Governance




We are very happy to announce the release of Radium SmartChain v3.2! The main new feature included in this update is blockchain voting. We at Radium believe that having voting verified on a blockchain is an extremely exciting and important aspect of blockchain technology.

Radium Elections — The return of confidence, transparency, and accountability to the voting experience

From the time voting was first Introduced in Greece by Cleisthenes in 508 BC, through today, voting has served as the cornerstone of the democratic decision making process. Unfortunately, many voting systems have been difficult to secure and scale, leading to modern recounts, contested results, and accusations of fraud. Now, 2525 years after the first known vote, Radium Core is happy to announce Radium elections, a blockchain based voting platform designed to restore confidence, transparency, and integrity to the voting process.

Using a combination of Blockchain technology and asymmetric key pair identity management, Radium voting provides a transparent, integrated, and easily validated voting platform. All election data and votes are recorded on-chain, allowing for near-time observation, counting, and verification by any third party running the SmartChain application.

Radium elections are designed for applications ranging from project management and club votes, to political elections and shareholder voting. We at Radium believe that simple, reliable and secure voting systems are a cornerstone of free governance. The Radium Elections platform will be available to anyone who has registered an identity on the Radium SmartChain. While the development team will be using this platform for Radium blockchain and SmartChain governance, everyone can hold an election, on any topic or for any purpose, at anytime.

In a drive to further decentralize and democratize the Radium network, the Radium Core team has decided that all major changes to the Radium Core and SmartChain protocols will be voted on using the new SmartChain voting functionality. The community will then have a period of time to participate in the vote, and the outcome of the vote will be used to determine whether the proposed change will be implemented on the protocol or not. When possible, new protocol changes will be released as dormant code, that must be activated by a predetermined threshold of approval votes. This way the community will have a direct impact on what is included and active in the Radium SmartChain.

Technical Discussion

A Radium election will consist of a title, description, open and close date/block, and up to 200 candidates. Each election will be open for voting for the time period between the open and close block number. Elections can be created so that voting will open in the future, allowing the creator to setup the election in advance. Real time voting results can be viewed while voting is in progress and final results will be available immediately after the election closes. The election results, including individual votes, will remain secured in the Radium Blockchain and visible indefinitely. Votes are not anonymous, and are linked to the SmartChain identity from which they were cast. Each identity can only vote once, and votes can not be changed after the vote is cast.

Upon creation, the election data is compressed and encoded into a hexadecimal smart transaction. For indexing and lookup purposes, an election ID is generated from a truncated ripemd160 hash of the transaction ID. Ripemd160 was chosen because it creates a correct sized hash, so that votes can be cast by a single output starttransaction. When a user votes, the aforementioned election ID and the index of the chosen vote is encoded together, and sent to the network. During syncing and operation, the SmartChain maintains a database of elections based on the ID, and parses incoming vote transactions, assigning the votes to the elections based on ID, and incrementing vote counts based on the vote index. The identity of the voter is determined by a lookup of the public key signing the election/vote SmartTransacition against the SmartChain’s internal database of registered identities.

A note about ICOs

As you all know we did not pursue an ICO when we started this project. In retrospect we believe this has worked in our favour. We have no legal doubts or liability which means events like the recent PBOC ICO ban or the SEC guidance regarding ICOs does not affect us as a developer team, our community or the Radium project.
As always, members of the development team are active on telegram and happy to answer any questions or trouble shoot any issues that may arise.

Very good update, thanks for the info!

[Altcoinlover]

I have former wallet version (4.0.5).

If I want to install 4.0.6, should I delete the former wallet
or can I just install the new and it would take case of the update?

thanks

You can just run 4.0.6 the DB will update automatically

ok I just did....

But at first, I opened directly from my download folder...

So, I closed it and reopened it after moving the pt.exe
at the right place I wanted it to be.

BUT, at the really first opening, I saw the syncing bar which appeared immediatly....

And now, I cannot see it coming.... even if I delete the files in roaming, and start again.

What the heck is happening with this wallet since last week?

It is telling that it is out of sync, but NEVER see the syncing process starting....

and also, I can barely have 1 connection to network....

Please, help

Did you figure it out? Did you try the smart chain? I have 25 to 35 connections most of the time.

sorry, NO, I did not figured it out...

I have no clue about the "smart chain" stuff you are refering to, sorry ;-(

Until today, I just kept open the wallet as I did not have time to work on it
and anyway, I don't know what to do other than what I did...

So, YES, I still need help ;-)

[shadowbummer]

Hey guys, Linux noob here.  Can someone ELI5 how to install the Rads wallet on Unbuntu...?

Ive found the .6 file on Github, but have no idea what to do with it.

Devs, any news about next updates, announced previously?

Google radium smart chain in youtube and watch the video. It should help.

Devs, any news about next updates, announced previously?

waiting as well here dev we need to see how the project goes and more signal is needed for traders and investors to make some insight with
certain project, i want to have some glimpse with new status of this updates, good luck team give us more from the team.

Hum, ok, will check that on Youtube.
Is there someone of dev team checking BTCtalk to provide support as well?

I don't it from the last posts from people unanswered..

Anyway, thanks for your help in that case, will see when I will have time
to investigate

Hi! I'm new here and I want to stake RADS... I found this http://projectradium.org/downloads/bootstrap.zip but it doesn't work, where I can find a new bootstrap? thanks!

Some "elevator pitch" for Radium (combination of documentation and own words of @ganastor aka Michael from Tele):

Radium allows users to obtain a secure blockchain identity, as well as providing file verification and ownership.

Identity verification is designed to provide confidence in user accounts, and prevent scamming from accounts with misleading usernames.

Just like humans have unique fingerprints, digital files also have unique fingerprints called a hash. File hashes are generated by passing a file through a cryptographic hashing function. Using a digital identity, a user can sign a file hash, and create a public, permanent, and time-stamped record in the Radium Blockchain.

This allows filed to be cryptographically signed, and this signature can't be changed or hacked due to being stored in the blockchain.

I had the same issue, and I backuped wallet.dat, deleted Radium folder from %APPDATA%/Roaming and run 3.2x64 from GitHub https://github.com/JJ12880/SmartChain/releases/tag/3.2
Installation started from the scratch and after 2-4h I got the complete Radium blochain (total size = 1.1Gb)
Try to do so, good luck
