[ANN] InsaneCoin (INSN) 🔷PoW/PoS/CMC 📈 insane.exchange 📈

[Coin_trader]

I may not be able to post some comments on this thread but i'm still watching and following this coin, it's been sometimes and the coin is still on the track compared to it's previous stage, the dedicated team behind this coin is not resting and always working towards to a much better, i believe they are doing something that will make this coin on the top again.

[subG]

I hope they do a rebrand. Everything looks so amateur. I'd even be willing to donate my services so if anyone from INSN is listening and you guys need design help, holler!!!

The brand could probably use some refinement but not necessarily a complete re-branding.
 
The main thing is getting the master node / Pow / PoS payments correct and moving forward from there.

Thanks for taking time to post.

Insane 2018!!

Happy New Year INSANE team and Insaners!  How are developments going Bittzy78?  Is MrOK still OK?  Is he a bitcointalk member or only on discord?  I agree, INSANE does not need a rebranding.  The name of the coin is perfect.  INSANE is highly marketable.  We just need the masternodes/POS payments to be working properly so that the project can move forward with other things.

Glad to see that INSN Coin back on track and 2018 will be more successful for the dev team and community. We are ready to the new heights and big progress for this project.

I'm considering renting some power at nicehash to mine INSN, but info on first post seems outdated. Do you recommend any pool?

Thanks!

Hi guys, I don't have a windows or android device, is there a wallet i can use on OSX or iOS that will support INSN?  I'd like to stake.

Thanks!

Instead of renting mining power, you're better off purchasing INSN while the prices are cheap.  POW block rewards are only 1 INSN per block with an 8% chance of getting 2 INSN per block.  I have not mined INSN and am not sure if the POW rewards payouts are having issues similar to the masternodes payouts.

Howdy Mates,
Does Nicehash back to service after the last incident?
If so, I hope there is no problem to work with them? Please confirm.

I don't know, I've not used it for a while, sorry.

Oooops... guess that's the reason the network has such a low hashrate? Thanks a lot for the info, I'll do as you say

An update from the INSN dev Mrok on Discord...

Hi Folks, I had to take time off from working on INSN because of the holidays and  an unexpected stint helping my old employer. Fortunately I don't need to take another contract for a few months now so I'll be focusing full time on INSN development until the new release is out.

The holiday gift is complete! it is integration with the Bisq decentralized exchange. Our github changes need to be approved and included w/ Bisq so it's not live... and I'm not sure how long it will take but I'll update as soon as I know.

I'm definitely behind where I hoped to be with the new wallet release - I now estimate that the wallet will be ready in early February. I'm still working on the blockexplorer changes. The prior dev (CCZ) agreed to review everything when I'm ready so thats the next major milestone on my schedule.
Also, I'm going to do a whitepaper that is not cribbed and says things about why our coin is unique and special so we can handle traffic from new people who are interested in joining our community.
I have a degree and had to write papers in college, but i would appreciate input and editorial support!  I promise it won't be too snarky so that we can have it translated without undue difficulty.
Thats all for me for now, I'll be online more now that I don't have to go into the office.

You might noticed several INSN banners popping up in various places on many different cryptocurrnecy websites..




We are starting an "Insane" awareness campaign and we want to run this campaign daily from now on.


This campaign will be done lightly before the update and then cranked up right after the update is released

INSANE on yobit a separate coin is no longer associated with this project?

INSANE on Yobit are the old coins.  INSN is the new Insanecoin.  Don't buy the coins on Yobit as the swap from INSANE to INSN is over.  The coins on Yobit are now useless and worthless.  Yobit is a horrible exchange and have not added the new INSN coins on there even though the devs have paid the listing fees months ago.

Correct. The Insane that is trading on Yobit is a zombie coin from the old chain that they refuse to quit trading.

There is no network that supports the old INSANE.

50000 insane for master node?     
That's too much.

50000 insane for master node?     
That's too much.

That amount isn't that much.  One INSN masternode was as high as 5 BTC, but with the recent price fall, it's around 1 BTC for a masternode now.  Compare that to other masternodes such as Stratis which requires 250,000 STRAT (340 BTC) for a masternode, makes INSN looks very affordable. 

[CriptoProject]

you mention on at the beginning 1 to 3% PoS return, but you don't mention the time frame... is it daily, monthly or yearly?

Another update from Mrok on Discord...


Howdy everyone, heres' the rundown - I am going to focus on some high level stuff today and we can do tech deep dives if people are interested.
A. Rewards - I have an implementation that is following the new INSN reward specs (with 2000 intead of 20000 coins per day) after some very very light testing. I 've looked in detail at the proof of work / proof of stake difficulty code and there are a couple of improvements that should ensure we are seeing POW blocks.   I also have not implemented the  5% admin budget because I haven't seen code that I'd like to copy yet for that feature.

The big  remaining items for  rewards is all testing to ensure our fixes for POW/POS diff are working the way we want.
We are on the correct item currently  with the official INSN roadmap, current roadma item: Wnter 2017-18, "Make our wallet noticeably better than all the other coins with similar wallets." When bittzy convinced me to add searching to the masternodes tab  I started learning how mcuh cool stuff we could be doing hhat we arent' doinig yet.  All except one of  the major UI issues are done  - the remaining bug to fix in the UI is that our wallet lets you spend you r masternode coins, thus disabling your MN associated with those coins. We are going to give the user a warning/cancel option instead of silently taking their MN offline.
NOTE: Every other masternode coin I've used has the same problem, w silently disabling the masternode - details like a meaningful alert will impress cryptoenthusias who are sick of the same bad code getting copied into every altcoin.

OOPS add "Item B" next to "we are on track on the roadmap because we are focused on wallet improvements."

C. I mentioned in a prior update that the night-mode has a better UI now, and some other UI improvements like fixing the flashing masternode list, but  we are going to make our walle t look a LOT better.  We are going to produce  the follwing graphic items which we will include in our wallet to make it beautiful. We will develop these graphics as a community so that they are fantastic.  Graphic 00:  A nicer splash screen - Bittzy mentioned to me doing an animation in the splash screen which would be great, and i did a quick check and yes, we can use ANIMATED GIFS in our QT canvases, so ... we need a bunch of great animations so we can decide on a winner. It's ridiculously easy to make animated gifs, so this should be pretty entertaining. We can also use these animations in twitter/emails/etc  so... if yo uhave an idea that you like but doesn't work well for a splash screen go ahead and do it anyway and submit it!  I suggest we work all this out on our discord channel but I"m open to suggestions..

Graphic 01: Background images for the wallet, for both night-mode and normal mode.  These images must  be mostly dark or mostly light in color so that the graphics dont' interfere with the text in the user interface.  And, finally, Graphic 02: We need to update our logo in a couple of small ways, unless someone comes up with a logo that we all love more than the current one (which I am quite attached to) . The logo updates we need are: Remove the border and the text "INSANE" from the bottom, and make the background transparent. This will make our icon look liek all the other modern coins on cruptopia,  and it will follow the google design patterns  of making icons as simple and flat as possible.

Everyone's Favorite Topic, the schedule for delivery -   I am going to stop work the imroved blockexlorer because it's taking too much time and bittzy suggested that we can just replace our bad wallet block explorer with code that opens a web browser to the cryptoid explorer.  I think this is smart and elegant and in fact better than the complex blockexplorer that pivx includes (which I was using as a referene). than routing t open the browser to the web-block-explorer from within the wallet when you specificity an address or hash or blockheight etc.  Mid February but its still do-able.  I think we will hae a "release candidate" that will EVENTUALLY pass our tests to our satisfaction, but we are  going to need to test for a long time,  Our secret sauce incognito dev has found some security issues
omg i dindt' edit that

to put it simply: We will be done with development
but not testing.

My colleague on the dev  team has  a sensible  test plan that we will follow:

 Basically, unscrupulous coders have been attacking  coins that are in the process of being updated  because the new code can have  problems.  Our plan for mitigating this:  Don't introduce new problem.Do our internal testing  without any  code avail to the public. When our testing indicates we are ready for public testing we will post the new source code and invite the public to participate in our beta.





There is a bit to unpack with this update so we are going to start with it tomorrow.

The updates are going to start happening with more regularity from Mrok and I implore you to join our Discord channel and become more involved with the community parts.
