[ANN] Ellaism: Ethereum network with no premine and no contentious hard forks

[ellaismer]

Ellaism



Ellaism is an Ethereum-like network. Features include:

• No pre-mine.
• No contentious hard forks. Stability is a feature.
• Monetary policy. A reduction of 20% mining rewards happens every 10 million blocks.
• No difficulty bomb.
• Replay protection enabled by default.

You can also donate (https://ellaism.org/donate/) to Ellaism developers and community members to help this coin.

Network Upgrade

We have a network upgrade happening on block 2,000,000, enabling Byzantium features and WebAssembly virtual machine. Please make sure you are using Parity v1.10.6 or later. Learn more: https://wiki.ellaism.org/hardfork

Clients (Full Nodes)

• Parity: https://github.com/paritytech/parity

Installation

Install Parity from Parity's official website (https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases). Please use Parity version 1.9.0 or later. When installing on Windows, close the Parity application in the system tray. Run Parity with

Code:

parity --chain ellaism

, and pass the "--author" argument if you want to start mining.

Now you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8180 for address setup and client monitoring.

Mining

With a Parity client running, you can use any ethash miner (such as ethminer https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer) to mine Ellasim. To mine using your GPU, run "ethminer -G -F http://localhost:8545".

You can optionally use Parity's Stratum support. To do this, start Parity with

Code:

parity --author walletaddress --chain "ellaism.json path as above" --stratum

In ethminer, run with parameter

Code:

ethminer -S 127.0.0.1:8008

Pools

Pool mining helps miners to compensate "bad luck" and share "good luck" when it comes. Help is appreciated to keep the Dev Mining Pool (https://pool.ellaism.org) running. This pool maintains several infrastructures on Ellaism, like the BTC Relay fetchd script, and contributes directly to the Dev Fund (http://ellaism.org/donate/).

Basic Information

• Coin generation: 5 Ella per block with 20% reward reduction happens every 10 million blocks. Block time is 14 seconds.
• Network ID and chain ID is 0x40.
• Most other parameters are the same as Ethereum.

Total Supply

• Supply Model: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v3T6gRupH4C4Zx3B60fOOIqFiilItSpVTszEHjyIPIw/edit#gid=640070299

JSON RPC Endpoint

If you are a dapp developer, you can use "https://jsonrpc.ellaism.org" as a JSON RPC endpoint.

MetaMask

You can also use the MetaMask browser plugin on Ellaism. This plugin allows you to directly interact with many Ethereum dapps on the network. To do this:

1. Download MetaMask (http://metamask.io/) from the official website.
2. After installation, click the MetaMask icon, and choose (in the top left corner of the pop up) network selection.
3. Choose "Custom RPC" and Enter "https://jsonrpc.ellaism.org". Click "Save".

Now you can use dapps directly. For example, try out Token Factory (https://tokenfactory.surge.sh) which allows you to create a new token under minutes.

ENS

The ENS (Ellaism Name System) deployed in the Ellaism blockchain allows you to register .ella ENS names. Go to http://ens.ellaism.org/ for more information.

BTC Relay

The BTC Relay allows Bitcoin transactions to be validated on the Ellaism network. This makes BTC-ELLA swap and ELLA-BTC decentralized exchange possible. We currently need relayers to support it.

• Status page: http://ellaism.org/btcrelay
• Becoming a relayer: https://github.com/ellaism/btcrelay

Technical Information

This is an Ethereum network as specified in the yellow paper (https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf), with Homestead (https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-2.md), EIP150 (https://github.com/ethereum/eips/issues/150), EIP155 (https://github.com/ethereum/eips/issues/155), EIP160 (https://github.com/ethereum/eips/issues/160) and ECIP1017 (https://github.com/ethereumproject/ECIPs/blob/master/ECIPs/ECIP-1017.md) applied from block 0. The era for ECIP1017 is changed to 10 million. Chain id and network id are both 0x40. Difficulty bomb is diffused from block 0.

Genesis block contains 0 coins (hence no premine). The initial difficulty in genesis block is changed to "0x40000000", its extra data field is "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", and its initial nonce is "0x0000000000000040".

How i can mine Ellaism?

[theuploader]

is Eallist a promoting cryptocurrency?
does it have a bright future?

[ellaismer]

How i can mine Ellaism?

You can use any ethash miner to mine Ellaism. I updated the instruction for mining.

[Zwiebo]

Now you have a coin. And then? What is your plan for the future?  A few more informtions about your project would be nice.

[auroboros]

all the projects certainly have a lot of details that should be submitted to users of crytocurrency, and the website is a lot of help, but I hope this project provides complete detail on this next thread, hopefully runs very well, and good luck

Now you have a coin. And then? What is your plan for the future?  A few more informtions about your project would be nice.

I was an developer that got tired of the debate of DAO hard fork, and recently CAHF (http://www.cahf.co/). Instead of a coin that is controlled by a few devs, I want a coin that is entirely driven by the community. It also must not have any pre-mine, giving it a good foundation from the beginning. Thus Ellaism.

Ellaism will share as many code as possible in Ethereum, like Litecoin to Bitcoin.

[PotatoPants]

Bit of a learning curve, however I managed to get this mining on an old Windows PC and am finding coin (which is being shown in the Parity Web GUI).

Thanks for creating the coin with no premine Mr Dev

[Zwiebo]

Okay, i have setup the wallet on one of my notebooks and its open for network mining now. One of my miners is on ellaism now. Ethminer shows no errors but the wallet shows some rejects. Some Blocks are okay. Is it normal? This is the first time i see parity.

[RomBit44]

Hi. Any plan for exchange?

[SimpleManns]

You should promote the coin on Newbium: https://chat.newbium.com

Hi, if the log message says "Reorg to #{block_number} ...", that is normal. It is due to a block you mined failing to get to the longest chain. Otherwise, please post the error message here or to Github (https://github.com/ellaism/parity-config/issues).

Hi. Any plan for exchange?

Unfortunately, no.

Just put it on Cryptopia
It costs 5000000 DOT
C'mon this should be easy

I ignore the error message. Most is OK. Miner shows from time to time a submit error, but thats not a problem. What is your plan for this project now?

When the network stabilize, the website, community, wallets and other necessary important pieces of this coin will be set up. The current Ethereum network (as Ellaism) works well for many dapps, so I don't expect any continent hard forks unless the community agrees.

I would expect Ellaism to be a stable ground for others to build dapps on top of it. Codes don't constantly break due to hard forks. In addition, many features, like CarbonVote, would function better on a network without premine.

The stats page is also up now: http://stats.ellaism.org/

It looks like your server can not handle the load ... How to start a node?

Remove the parity from tray. Is the Author address ETH address?

Remove the parity from tray. Is the Author address ETH address?

"Starting it

You'll probably want to set the destination address (where the rewards go). If you have an address already, great. If you don't, then you can make one in Parity with:

parity account new
You'll be asked for a password and be given an address. Once done, you should run parity and tell it to mine to that address when required. Supposing your address is 0037a6b811ffeb6e072da21179d11b1406371c63, then you would run:

parity --author 0037a6b811ffeb6e072da21179d11b1406371c63
Once Parity is running and synced with the network, you can start your miner of choice. For genoil, command would be:

ethminer -G
Where -G for GPU mining (opencl)"

In general, you can use any ethereum-based address.

[Joe-Niner]

Yeah but I don't get it, what is the point of creating this clone?  It doesn't seem to bring enough to the table to be worth a whole seperate coin.
