Sunday update:As some of you must have noticed, Veltor's hash rate has seen a steep rise this week. This is good for the network overall. However, we are still lacking on nodes and have to disperse our hash rate on the pools available to us. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FAgQwJuf.png&t=665&c=3KLtnxCzE4mvIQ) But enough nagging for now. I have decided to use Argon2 as a hash function for mining blocks. It was developed by a team of cryptography researchers and won a renowned password hashing competition. The algorithm is memory-hard, which makes it quite resistant to ASICs. It should help the Veltor network to stay more decentralised. Argon2 mode of operation with no parallelismOne of the key advantages of Argon2 is the possibility to define custom parameters for the algorithm to change the performance, memory usage and parallelism. I will play with different sets of parameters to find the right trade-off between ASIC resistance and block validation times. You can read more about it here: https://www.cryptolux.org/images/0/0d/Argon2.pdfThe progress on the codebase is going well: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code Go 19 119 65 581 Markdown 1 0 0 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUM: 20 119 65 582 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
600 lines of code might not seem like much, but it includes an almost complete peer-to-peer network implementation, an initial working miner, transaction signing and block assembly. I believe that says a lot about the quality of the code. I refactor often and never stop until I find an elegant solution for what I'm working on. Simplicity and efficiency are my utmost priorities!

Hi! Great project for as far as I get to understand it! Small question: why does coinmarket says VLT supply is 480k but when you calculate the block reward up untill now (with records from OP) I get to 850k+ released coins?

hi all ... ive finally got my old profile back ... tanx to cyrus ( bct mod ) and a few others - i now have full access to my old profile ... so will be using this one as much as possible from now on ... the 'crysx' profile will still be in use - but will be only when necessary - not as my standard ... a lot to sort out now ... update ... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1563601.msg17653092#msg17653092 ... #crysx

What's the target date on when you'd have a functional/secure subsecond transaction blockchain? This year? I think it's a pretty cool idea, reminds me of Vcash, except for the part where that dev randomly gave up on his codebase hopefully.

Try these: addnode=2a01:4f8:201:6211::2101 addnode=78.94.32.195 addnode=2001:41d0:8:250e:: addnode=veltor.suprnova.cc addnode=178.33.228.14 addnode=144.76.237.39 What's the target date on when you'd have a functional/secure subsecond transaction blockchain?

Yes, definitely this year. block 7783 6 hours where is 7784
This has happened twice before, looks like hashing dropped sharply leaving us with a high difficulty. Time will resolve this. J.V.

Yes, definitely this year. There are fears highly connected Bitcoin lightning network routing nodes could lead to centralisation, and consequently privacy issues. Will veltor include an anonymous layer to mitigate such privacy issues when its lightning network implementation gets released? https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/exploring-the-centralization-risks-of-bitcoin-s-lightning-network-1462460852/Lopp also noted possible censorship and privacy issues related to centralization among a small number of entities:
“Centralization among a small number of entities would also pose privacy and censorship issues, making it harder to route around uncooperative entities or those known to collect data for the purposes of deanonymization.”
Blockstream’s Rusty Russell, who is working on his own implementation of the Lightning Network, has noted his belief that the layer-2 protocol will likely feature a Tor-esque arms race between those who wish to preserve privacy and those who wish to abolish it. Russell and other Lightning Network developers are also working on Tor-style onion routing for the network.
