[ANN] eMunie (EMU) - NOT a BitCoin fork/clone - call for beta testers

[muyuu]

Drop me a line when I can see the code.

[wtfvanity]

I'll test it. Sure sounds a lot more interesting than the off the shelf clones.

Will it be open source during the beta as well?

I'm unsure about this, as the purpose of the closed beta is to enable us to discover and iron out any last remaining gotcha's through mass testing.  Putting a git hub up, with the source, at that point wouldn't be wise.

If anyone that is participating would like access to the code "offline" so to speak, for whatever reason, then I'd rather do that until production launch.

Still count me in as a tester, but it will be on a VPS linux box and a windows virtual box until I can compile it myself.

My only worries, is that it becomes open source like Ripple.

Pretty final, Mulah is slang for money, e....well yeah, EMU as a currency abrev gives us lots of branding options.  so unless you have a better suggestion?

Right, but slang is not a best way to name money. And it is assotiated with muslim Mullah a little
Maybe eCash/bitcash or something another.

I'm interested in a Beta spot. Is it open source?

[Mazakguy]

i would help test.  Couple of i7 doing nothing here, that wanna run lol

PM here is fine

You object to open sourcing something such as BitCoin/Ripple etc?

Nope. My objection, is that they (Ripple) say it will be open source, they've released, and there is no source code for the servers. I'll gladly beta test as I said. If source code isn't available on public release, I don't plan to participate until it is.

This is looks like something new. I'm really interested. How can I join?

[TheSwede75]

Sign me up for the closed beta! I love the idea of a new form of Crypto Currency that is not just a copypasta of Bitcoin or Litecoin code. What can I expect as confirmation for the closed beta? What do I need to 'do' to join if anything?

FYI: I work with QA/Product management and have a few fairly high powered desktops (12 core, 64GB ram, 100+ TB of storage, 30 MB internet etc) with VM environment that I can let the project occupy at least a large % of.

[bulanula]

Sign me up too !!! Contact me through PM on here when it starts.

Some more questions I thought of. Will EMU have a json-rpc for programming some automation for like website automation? It would be fun to test these out in beta and have something ready to go for the public release.

[Moray]

I would like to test it, too, if possible 

[Fuserleer]

Most interesting is that there are really new ideas!

I understand that in your post (as you wrote) not all can be covered..
But some questions and not only want to ask "tester too, to be an early adapter."

one important (for me) will there a maximum of ENU in your system? I like also to think on one with a non maximum (differnet from bitcoin)..

Also the question if the hatching nodes need to go through all transactions until the first block, will this scale with a large list of transactions (i think in bitcoin, yes wehere we have the ~8 GB Blockchain now..)

I know that this is also need to test so
at least this sound interesting and let us see your effords soon

Thanks for the enthusiasm

There is no set cap target of EMU's, so in theory it's unlimited.  We've opted for a simple 1 EMU per minute volume target (which will be voted on in hourly intervals, so 60 p/h) which gives a nice, steady yearly volume of around 520k EMU's.  Each EMU can be subdivided just like BTC, so granularity isn't a problem.

To your verification question, the backward traversal of the chain will be quite quick, even with many millions of transactions in the system as there is only 1 path to get back to the genesis block.  Forward traversal from the genesis block is more resource hungry as the ledger grows and we have some ideas to mitigate this over time.  That said, as the ledger grows, the amount of work that a hatcher node has had to do to verify that transaction rises, so the proportion of the 80% share allocated to that hatcher will increase, thus they are paid for that work.

I would be interested in being a beta tester as well. Thanks

Ahh I understand.  I've no issue with open source, or providing source on an individual basis pre-production launch.  I just don't want to make it publicly open, with people forking it, when there may be any nasty surprises in there, which is the function of the closed beta, verification.

Yep, JSON-RPC will be in there.

Awesome.

I would like to add that it is great to see someone actually working on something different. Whether it succeeds or fails, it is a breath of fresh air. Thanks.

[r3animation]

I'll test.
