[ANN] [XEL] :: XEL - The Decentralized Supercomputer ::

[Alohaboy?!]

Thank you for the new thread ! Maybe include in the Op that there are no bounties etc. Otherwise it will get spammed

[ghoom2]

Nice project! it seems like a good idea. I hope it won't turn out to be a nonsense project though...

Anyways, if you need any Dutch translations, simply contact me  

This could potentially become something great, so good luck with it!

You can add a language for light wallet as I did here (I added french)

I wonder when is the big announcement coming ?

[SwedishGirl]

I remember how everybody was screaming scam when this project was first announced. Now people are willing to trade their mothers for some XEL. How things have turned

[NutMasterTardd]

Finally control of the XEL thread! Long overdue.

Excited for lite wallet release.

Thanks to all the devs for their hard work so far.

when to launch at platform ?

[Deborah]

let this good coin be traded at Bittrex or Poloniex, they are both good exchanges which the traded volumes are good and sustainable.                                                                                                           
a good coin must be at the good exchanges.

Nice to see the new ANN for Elastic . It was about time .
Translation  thread for Elastic in Greek section is up : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1957435.msg19441140#msg19441140 .
Keep up the great work devs and community .

PS: At the moment, no bounties.

No detailed info in the OP. No info on the official website.

Who are the devs of this project? Any roadmap?

There is still no question, information or actual point that I can see there.

Guess who's back in town?

Does he know he is more than invited to visit?

Thanks! It is nice to be noticed!  

I've been lurking, and still following the progress of XEL closely week to week.  Unfortunately I can't say that I've been particularly happy to see where it has been headed, personally.  IMO the decision to partially re-centralize with bonded master-nodes and the decision to launch a "lite wallet" token are both likely mis-steps.

Having 0 stake in XEL it is obviously not my business, but I had held high hopes... and now I have little but worry for E-K's work ever making it out into the world in a form that is anything like what he would have really intended.

I've been thinking a lot, lately, about a the idea of a relatively simple variant of the earlier XEL design which might address several of the concerns with the model, particularly with regard to the PoW rewards.  It would eschew a dedicated programming language, in favor of a machine model, but at the same time make for a more consistent work calculation and allow for some additional assurances.  It may not be something I ever pursue further but I am ever more convinced (though still not quite 100%) that the whole thing might even actually be possible after all.

I guess with masternodes you mean so called SNs (supernodes), right? Well, I didn't like them too. Not sure if it's possible at all at this stage, but perhaps with your support, it could be possible to think it over again, and get rid of those special nodes.

The great thing about an open source project like this is that any developer can take it any direction they'd like as long as the community adopts it.

I'm open to ideas other than the SNs, just keep in mind there are a lot of constraints that need to be met.  So if people have alternate solutions for how a distributed network can fully validate the POW / Bounty submissions without creating a bottleneck, please provide your ideas.

I've also pitched a couple of alternate ideas to EK, but really he's pretty busy right now so this would probably be the best opportunity to revisit this topic before he has time to work on the Core Server again.

One last thing...regardless of what we do, maybe it would be best to change the name of it...even in the current design it's not a SuperNode the way other blockchains think of it.  It's simply a Core Server node that has the ability to run the ElasticPL engine to validate POW / Bounty submissions.

WTF are you talking about? 

I'm talking about the algorithm

The algorithm is whatever the work author can dream up and code in ElasticPL...so XEL supports an infinite # of algorithms.

Hi mprep,

We lost OP of our thread so we created new one and we want to close old one:

Old one is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1396233.6800

Can you lock it? Thanks!

Unless you have access over the OP, I can't lock it.

So mod of this category (Announcements (Altcoins)) can't lock this thread for us. We just need to point people from old thread to new one.

[jdlr]

is the lightwallet out yet ?

[unvoid]

No. Still in progress. Soon ™
