can you please add this video to OP or website about this use case (Bitcoin Mining in ElasticPL) from dev?

+1 @ImI

Most probably we will not be able to mine any block in BTC network but it's nice show-off of Elastic capabilities.

+1 I will add website as a blog post.
can somebody write content for this video for blog post?

On it.  :-)

When you write the content...please put it in perspective.  You cannot realistically mine BTC or any other coin with Elastic.  Even if you disregard all the overhead in Elastic to create the specialized network it runs in...updates to the block to mine would need to propogate through our blockchain...so it may take a minute or more just for an Elastic miner to know to move on to a new block.

I believe the demo he put together is good to show how to integrate external apps to the Elastic Network...but it should not lead anyone to believe that Elastic can be used to mine other blockchains of any type.

Originally, I think EK's plan was to have all nodes (the Core Server) run the validation logic; however, the algorithms written in ElasticPL can potentially take quite a bit of time and memory to solve (i.e. seconds...depending on the complexity), so the validation logic could easily be used to attack the network (i.e. submit a complex job and throw 100's of solutions to the nodes to validate).

Right, this is one of the reasons for the small/subtle changes in the payouts model.  Under the model I propose, the attacker would need to re-submit his complex job after each solution he issued to himself.  (His job would also have to be "actually" complex, and not just be full of "meaningless" busy-loops which do not contribute to output value, mind you.)  This creates an opportunity at each solution found for miners to reject his new jobs (or up tx fee for them) if they feel the network becomes too loaded.  At that point the problem becomes no different from an attacker trying to stuff up the btc network with dust transactions filling up the block limit - he can still try to do it but miners can just make it ever more costly for him until he is broke and must just stop because he can no longer afford it.

@coralreefer - no worries.  I remember the discussions from a long ways back that elastic is not suitable for mining purposes and I shall emphasis that the video is purely to demonstrate the capabilities of Elastic and not a suitable use case.

You should also add in the OP:

• The mainnet is not launched
• There is no place to purchase/trade token yet
• Release will be in 1-2 weeks if all goes well

That will help cut down on these repetitive questions in this thread.

True,
Also add something to the title like
'ReLaunch or Rebirth'
to avoid a new member asking for free XEL and repetitive question.
Plus it'll be better if we can see a beautiful ann thread.

I now applied @xtester's OP proposal. I hope the "important contributors" part with the profile-links is OK. Otherwise say something and i delete it.

Not sure if anyone is more important than anyone else...maybe instead it could be more like a list of items delivered or in progress and who worked on them.

only 1 day to get 6 page
very well project

I promise to catch up with all those nice and brilliant ideas regarding the payout model as well as all unanswered private messages this weekend. Starting tomorrow

Nice. We have a twitter btw. It's https://twitter.com/elastic_coin. I just don't remember who is in control of it.

Looks good, ImI. 

This thing is exploding with interest. Good times ahead.

Xtester has control on it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=197542 .
If somebody will be more social, You can take it control.

So Is there some kind of swap from old xel to new xel?

[ttookk]

What old XEL? XEL isn't even released yet.

OK al clear   thx

The only thing new is this ANN thread. Because the creator of the old thread is gone, and the OP can't be updated.

EK, I know it sounds repetitive, but wanna say " Thank You " for your dedication

Nice new thread, just waiting on the mainnet.

I created that twitter account . It's in the hands of the community if someone can use it better ( i guess there are many ).
