Tomorrow I will show how to mine a Bitcoin block using Elastic  People were asking for a real use case, so I thought this might be real enough. A task for a long night, but I hope when I turn on the coffee machine tomorrow morning (or afternoon) I will be done with an example that everyone can run locally. In all seriousness - would it be possible at some point to implement EPL to OpenCL kernel transpiler, so that it can run on GPU? Already done Amazing as always! very exciting to see this great project evolve and progress! |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

 I like this one Agree, it's unique and looks a little futuristic too. |

This site already exists and is very similar to the majority of logos being created . https://www.elastic.co/ i mean similar as in layout, a logo with the words elastic directly under it , not the logo itself Not sure on legality or laws or anything but would this pose a potential problem in the future? with it being similarly laid out with the logo but name being the same The site says "Copyright 2017", so this XEL is older. Additionally, it would be really hard to point a finger at someone. Even if they tried a cease and desist letter – who are they supposed to send it to? The worst they could do would be going after the guys holding the website, at which point someone will move it to a place outside their jurisdiction (if it isn't already) and once SHIFT or any other decentralized management system gets IPFS based webhosting done, there is absolutely nothing they can do anymore. Fun times ahead of us.

And ... I can't find the 3-body thing ... I loved that one!
Why, thanks  I think people didn't take it seriously, because it was very "out there". I was actually quite serious, but to be honest, I'm a little relieved that it's not in the competition, because should it have won, I would have had no idea how to make it actually work On that regard, I thought about this three-body problem from a different angle: Wouldn't it be good to have some kind of simple calculation running steadily (doesn't have to be 3-body)? I don't know why exactly, but I have the feeling this could be used for testing(Miners maybe could use it as a "standart test"?), as a heartbeat and so on… …and, just to add this, I feel like I have to defend my design on a visual level, because I feel like people thought of it as still being in a sketch phase: I know, the 3-body design looks… different, very downplayed, not in your face and very not "designy". Choosing a monospace font for the text adds to that. However, I am quite serious and took this thing seriously. I'm a little done with the slick and overpolished instagram aesthetic, which dominates Logo design at the moment. Especially with a project like this, I felt it was time to choose something different. The bare aesthetic of IDEs, monospace fonts, text as the main design element, as little lines, boxes and icons as possible, plain text, pure information as the ideal, that was what I was going for. |

Currently majority of Elastic community want to have this logo:  I know that @EK have big influence on us all (even me). But please guys. Think for yourselves. Do you really want to have this logo? After all voting will choose. Please do not cripple Elastic. Oh thats my work.  By the way I have another work that Im think is will fit on the elastic.Its currently in slide number = 123  Hope you like it. |

just curious on the efficiency of use XEL to mine BTC, since all ASIC already have high efficiency. but maybe use XEL to build an Alpha Go. anyway, "let me say it with XEL's words: Galaxy is the limit ". |

I am surprised about how many people already voted!
Nice to see so many are still active and helping out.
I have no clear favorite with the logos, so I took something I like more as the others.

So, in theory, we could mine as a big decentralized pool? Would it be possible for some experienced coder of mining software to port the source code into our language and build a huge mining pool with our service? If this would be at least profitable it could be a good first use case and many people could just install our software and buy XEL to get the mining started. |

Already done Whatever the expected listing price was before, you've just got a 10x-100x value increase right there.  |

The best project right now, and great community.
Any ETA when XEL will be available to buy some?

I am thinking of the following equation. If XEL got enough computing power, to be able to mine btcs. Getting it to be more efficient than the current miners, reducing costs. We could be facing a new paradigm, in the mining of btc. Or I'm just daydreaming.

I think you are. A usual CPU or GPU can never be as energy-efficient as an ASIC, so mining BTC with the Elastic-network won't make much sense as the energy your CPU/GPU is consuming will be more expensive then what the mining will yield. |
