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

[activemind]

Well, I think ELLA is a serious diamond in the rough. There aren’t many pure crypto decentralized projects these days, every main coin has become politics and whoever has the most hash controls everything. This coin changes that, it’s pure crypto like Satoshi himself intended. Decentralized, donation driven, community based, mineable etc, so yes this coins future is extremely bright imo. Smiley

Much better coins than this has been abandoned and left for dead. This coin has no future, it's just another clone that the cryptoworld has no use for. It will be dead soon.

Haven't been following Ellaism for quite a long time, not sure what's the team is working at right now.
Is there a stable standalone wallet for Windows for me to use? I don't trust MEW that much, to be honest...

[glorry]

I think we can also work on getting some informations regarding miners number and hashrate from pools api

[krinjah]

I like your business!
Absorbing vision, rational approach, excellence design!

Thank you Sir!
But I have reported you as this oubviously is just a SPAM message.

Does it require gigabytes of free hard-drive space to store the whole chain locally? Sorry for asking this but I'm quite limited space-wise

Do not be this pessimistic mate, there are a lot of coins out there that are clones and are doing well. The thing that matters is the development and the community, as people don't care if is a clone or not like they do not care about the technology behind the projects.

I assume you want to run a full node. Using parity i have a full node using 4gb for the blockchain database. I had a full node based on geth on a 20gb virtual private server and had to stop it due to lack of space.
Also it will support wasm (Web Assembly...) and other improvements. AFAIK Parity currently is the better choice to be compatible with the upcoming features (https://ellaism.org/news-update/).
Useful information for getting started with Ellaism node based on Parity can be found here: https://wiki.ellaism.org/clients/parity

Hi guys! I have been around a long time without managing my virtual coins. I would like to hear from you about the hard forks if I have to do it for my Ella coins that are on myellawallet? I transfer to some exchange or can I leave them there?

Your coin is safe, no need to transfer it.
The hard-fork only to add features, quoted from ellaismer:
"* Enable WebAssembly: A low-level language aiming to be a replacement for EVM. This allows you to write smart contracts in any languages that compiles to WASM, including C/C++/Rust and more. It also has potential to be faster because of its better design. This hard fork, however, will mean that we need to discontinue multi-geth and go-ellaism support, due to our limited manpower. And Parity will probably be the only full node implementation that runs on Ellaism. https://github.com/ellaism/specs/blob/master/specs/2018-0003-wasm-hardfork.md
* Byzantium: Features in Ethereum's Byzantium hard fork, including zkSNARK, REVERT opcodes, and others. https://github.com/ellaism/specs/blob/master/specs/2018-0004-byzantium.md"

Thank you very much my friend, it was very clear.

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.

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

Exchanges

• Bisq: https://bisq.network/
• Cryptopia: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=ELLA_BTC
• Cryptobroker: https://trade.cryptobroker.io/markets/ellabtc

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/).

Web Wallet: https://ellaism.github.io/ellawallet/
Chrome Extension Wallet: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/myellawallet/bgfofdgebpphdhddggaggeafenegbjef

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
• Discussion: https://github.com/ellaism/meta/issues/9

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".

I am still in the original discord since Day 1, why isn't your core developer in there anymore? And yes I dumped this after ellaismer left. Lost a lot doing that too, but when the main dev leaves, what would anyone think is going on? Up until that point I thought this was going somewhere.

[ghostguo]

I have kept the recover phrase, but I cannot find the way to recover the account from Parity UI. There is also no private key can be exported in the Parity UI. How to do that if the key file is lost?

----------- update
I found it.
