After 6 months of public testing, the Ubiq network is ready for launch! We are excited to open up participation for all members in the blockchain development, mining and financial space.
January 28th 2017 will mark the inception of the new blockchain and transfer of value from the existing Jumbucks blockchain to the Ethereum based Ubiq blockchain. The new chain will bring about many new capabilities through smart contracts, giving us a far greater opportunity for lasting applications while still having the existing value and stability from an established 3 year old market.
The Ubiq development team is committed to providing the most stable, flexible and bug-free platform available for the development of enterprise level applications. This is accomplished through extensive observation, testing and improvements to the various blockchain technologies currently available.
Markets closedOn January 28th, 2017 at 12:01am PST the Jumbucks [JBS] market will be closed on exchanges.Snapshot and Genesis Block creationA snapshot of the Jumbucks blockchain will be taken with the balances recorded for every JBS address. The Genesis Block will be
created from claimed addresses.
Wallets will be created and the code will be published to Github.
Network LaunchOn January 28th, 2017 at 12pm PST the Ubiq [UBQ] network will be launched.Post LaunchThe Ubiq market will be open on exchanges the following week.
Any unclaimed Ubiq will be placed into multi-sig address. If you have already submitted via the claim form, please ensure you have all of the info required (keys and password) to import and unlock after swap. If need be, you can resubmit with the same JBS address, the latest verified submission will be used.
The old Jumbucks network will be considered developer deprecated and unsupported.
Ubiq is proud to be the first Ethereum fork which brings about consensus level changes in the form of brand new code.
The
Flux Difficulty Algorithm is one of the innovations of the Ubiq network. Prior to Ubiq there have been other Ethereum forks which were attacked as they did not have an adequate difficulty algorithm which was able to dynamically adjust to hash rate.
Below we can see the difficulty curve in the Ubiq network over the first 10,000 blocks with 3 distinct sections.
The first section represents the originally ported Digibyte Digishield algorithm which did not fare well at all on a large hashing network. The second section represents the Digibyte Digishield algorithm with modified parameters which was an improvement but still not good enough. The third section from block 8,000 onwards shows the Flux Difficulty Algorithm™ where we went back to the drawing board and designed a new solution.
The new codebase allows for difficulty retargeting every block using the Flux Difficulty Algorithm to achieve an 88 second block time average over time. The algorithm reacts to changes in hashrate each block by analyzing the timestamps of the previous 2 hours worth or blocks.
The addition of
Exponentially Subjective Scoring is now an optional flag for services like exchanges and pools to calculate during any adverse network conditions including forks. This protection exponentially reduces the window a double spend can take place while also providing seamless consensus of nodes on the “longest” chain.
With our designed
Monetary Policy, block rewards will start out at 8 and decrease by 1 yearly until it reaches a minimum of 1 UBQ per block.
In Ubiq we wanted to program in the option of staying with Proof of Work indefinitely should it prove to be viable long term. There are many aspects we will consider in terms of viability such as overall health of the Proof of Work network, and coin distribution, but ultimately we foresee a future where Ubiq may run as a Proof of Work network forever. With Ubiq we plan on running a Proof of Work network for a minimum of 1 year before considering and evaluating any switch to a Proof of Stake scheme.
This
monetary policy and mining block rewards scheme is illustrated in the table below.
Further details and changes:
- Algorithm: Dagger Hashimoto
- Block Reward: 8 decreasing by 1 yearly until 1 UBQ per block
- Block Target: 88 seconds
- HTTP RPC server port: 8588
- Websocket RPC server port: 8589
- Network listening port: 30388
- Network ID: 88
- Chain ID: 8 (EIP 155 Replay Attack Protection compliant)
- Reduced rewards for included Uncle blocks
- Forked from the latest Geth 1.5 containing all the latest EIPs
- Removed code references to the DAO fork
Ubqminer: https://github.com/ubiq/ubqminer/releases PhoenixMiner 4.0b+: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg48314178#msg48314178 TT-Miner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025783.0 Nanominer: https://github.com/nanopool/nanominer/releases/tag/v1.0.0The longer block times of Ubiq means the DAG size growth will be much slower, allowing graphics cards with 2GB RAM to mine for over 6 years. In Ethereum 2GB graphics cards were obsolete a bit over a year later after launch as seen in the chart below.
