[ANN][XEL] Elastic Project - The Decentralized Supercomputer

[Evil-Knievel]

I have added this estimation in the 0.7.2 version.

Please check if all works, and if the code both makes sense and is resistant to numerous attacks and failures!!

Mining on one of my i7 4660HQ cores, the UI now somewhat correctly estimates my Gigaflop power (I am the only one mining):

In case the chain does not sync: keep calm ;-) I am right now fixing the connectivity issues!

[Evil-Knievel]

Fixed syncing issues on 0.7.2

[Evil-Knievel]

The chain is moving finally (without doing git pull) but will recompile right now.

Because I can't redeem xel maybe someone could send me some test-xel : XEL-XFMU-85XU-V4S3-EZZY2

Finally fixed your "could not verify transaction bytes" issue   Its in the git as of now!

Also, @everyone that helped! Do not forget, you are "Elastic Core Developers" and "Authors" of the code:

If you want your names splattered all around the code , the UI and the Github changelogs, then please give me a short notice. If you do not want your BCT username linked to your name, just submit an Issue Ticket in the github an I will add you asap!

very nice, i guess me helping with testnet at the beginning makes me not qualified  amazing job guys!!!

is it possible to splatter "Chinese XEL Community: QQ Group 543181509"

lol, i did nothing, but i am ready to push this great project to more users.

Big whales coming from China are paying attention, EK you will be famous for xel

@coralreefer: agreed! I have still extended the error messages a bit so we have it easier in the future.
These are possible:

Code:

Proof of Work:
Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: work is already closed
Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: maximum pows per block reached
Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: work ran out of funds

Bounty Announcement:
Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: no more bounty announcement slots available

Bounty:
Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: work is already closed, you missed the reveal period

And of course a plain

Code:

Duplicate unconfirmed transaction

if it's really a duplicate.

EK, when you get a sec can you take a look to see if these messages are working correctly in the latest core.  I get "Duplicate unconfirmed transaction" when I think I should have got "Duplicate unconfirmed transaction: no more bounty announcement slots available".

Well, I guess, I'm even less qualified than you

Short News: Behind the curtains, plans are being plotted to pull off a GPU miner ;-) One step closer to super-computer-market domination!

Lets just put in some fail safes to ensure it doesnt turn into SkyNet

So what? At last, world domination *laughs in binary*

This was one of the crazy ideas, that I had, though: Write an autonomous trading bot, that can learn and uses XEL to calculate its next trades, and whose main goal is to fuel its XEL needs (and maybe even its server space), all built inside a "black box", so that you can monitor it, but not access or manipulate its decisions.

[wpalczynski]

The possibilities are limitless really.  Something needs to be done with idle mining power.

Awesome ! Thank you for sharing with Chinese community. With yuan being manipulated on a daily basis, Chinese are looking into crypto currency to preserve their wealth.

Random thoughts - I have been working 13 hours straight today, and it's gonna be more, so I guess it's time for a break.
When we take a look at other projects, we see a long history of videos where developers do some jibber jabber, show some slides, and motivate their project's raison d'être. One example is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q888b0VRx8&t=28s. Well done, capitan! But ...

Even though I am just here to code, I'd like to put an idea on the table: What if we come up with our own video? One that drops all that jibber jabber and just takes the cake? Something original, funny yet informative and catchy! Something that conveys the audience, that (even if one might get a bored feeling when looking into supercomputer land) life with Elastic is everything but boring and unsexy  

Just an idea, the jibber jabber can be saved for some conference right? Maybe we could sign up for the next Devcon and arrive stuffed into multiple loads of busses wearing Elastic t-shirts (edit: aaaww, forgot that it would require us to do something with smart contracts, ... maybe I implement a smart contract blocker, if that's enough)!

EK, you're our Satoshi ! Thank you for the great research .

Just name one variable smart_contract. If someone asks, show them the source code

"Of course we have smart contract, look."

Too bad I don't know how to use flash, otherwise, I'd do something with this block graphics I made earlier moving all over the place. If someone gets the to move, I could make the non-moving parts, though.
