Tendermint? Let's see this

[chisoban]

Small project update:
We have hired another senior developer for the project.

On a technology level, we identified some major scaleability issues in Tendermint, and are looking to switch our chain to Hyperledger.
So far, this is not having an effect on our release date.

White paper and website is coming in the next few days.

Could you give more detail about the scalability issues with Tendermint ?
and why Hyperledger ?

[faddat]

We're very transparent, so:

It's not a TM scaling problem.  

It's a problem with the characteristics of scaled TM for our specific implementation.  Maybe.  I'm doing a redraft with HL and the first stage of that is simply going to be learning about he comparative performance characteristics of each.  We're still reviewing this situation, but basically it does look like we are deciding between TM and HL.  We do not have a conventional setup in the least bit, more details of which I'll be releasing soon.  I think one significant detail of this that I can share right now is that we'll be using this implementation of google's spanner/F1:

https://github.com/pingcap/tikv


So basically, the KV store is validated by hashes in the blockchain database, but actual content in the KV store is kept off-chain.  Please, keep the questions coming!  I'm very happy to ensure that the community has a very clear understanding of the solution we're going to offer.

Why Tendermint?
+ Amazing codebase that makes blockchainizing data structures shockingly easy
+ Friendly and helpful community
+ Awesome founders who both made the majority of code commits to the project
- The extent of the slowdown as it scales, and uncertainty surrounding node counts such as 2048. 

Why Hyperledger?
+ Linux foundation support
+ More diverse dvelopment pool VS TM
- Seems more rigid than TM
- Will certainly require more configuration and it's uncertain it will be able to "eat" arbitrary applications written in any programming language to conform to a certain API. 

Thanks again

with all the scams lately, would be nice if faddat could verify his steemaccount with linking to this project.

Project update:

We doubled the size of the team in the last week, and also decided on a completely new architecture.
Our site and beta testnet will be launching in the next coming days.

The information in the original post is outdated, and will be updated accordingly soon.

The original thread has been updated. We decided to implement a multi-chain concept to combat issues of speed and scalability.

why detail about spefication your coin not write
about total coin , distribution system
and use create token coin, what is platform use, ethreum token

and open bounty or not, selling ico or not

Total supplies: 100,000,000 3.5M to be sold on this round
Dev(s) dedicated premine: fixed to 20,000,000 DWN For dev. team & advisors

Good question.

First of all, the Dawn project is not just our 'coin', the Ray token.
Dawn is much, MUCH more than a crypto coin.

We focus on creating a new breed of blockchain technology, and the technology bit is more important to us than creating yet another 'shitcoin'.
So this is why we have no issue leaving out the information of our coin, we don't want to attract the pump&dump crowd that we normally see jumping on every single new coin that hits the market.

We're in the for the long game, and we will create an entire ecosystem of apps and tools to make sure our project is a success.

Since we want to get this right, we will not be releasing incomplete information so we don't confuse people.

You can expect all the information regarding our Ray token when we've decided on all the specifics, which should be by the end of this week.

do you actually have any of these routers you wanna sell for 15BTC a piece?
any proof of concepts or just a buncha ideas?
any news from Orange cloud inc verifying anything?  edit: nevermind this company looks not existent anyways

full of spelling errors, and ends with "SEND BTC HERE"  :/  

not for me, nope!

Hi everyone, I'm a developer who has joined the Dawn Project.  So I may also post updates from time to time.  I'm glad to see the interest.
