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

[mullick]

If you are still open to testers I would love to be considered. Thank You

We've been playing with a "meaning" for EMU over here and the first one you suggest is the current favorite.

Seems there is a growing consensus regarding the name too, so I'll be pitching your suggestions to the team.

The network performs extensive verification of itself, more so than the BitCoin algorithms, to ensure that all participants are honest nodes and for additional security overall.

My primary interest is in understanding how this is achieved, which is why I'm eager to get my hands on the code...

I could start firing a whole slew of questions at you about how this process works, but then most of them would be a large waste of time if I haven't first looked at the code and detailed how this process works.

I'm interested in beta-testing it

[LukePFS]

I'm in as well if needed. Having several dual Xeon's plus different GPU rigs.

Feel free to add me on Skype, addy is in my profile.  Always happy to talk tech shop

Interesting, I would like to participate too.

What is there to prevent somebody to trick the network to think he is running multiple hatcher nodes while he really does run only one?

I'll be editing the OP with details about the prevention shortly as its been raised a couple of times

I'm interested to beta-test EMU !
Cheers.

Hi Iam an InformatikEngineer Student with experience in cryptomining/setting up servers/networkconfiguration would like to be a BetaTester to test your new System! I've got a lot of time to test and help to improve!

PM for more informations!

You can count me in 

[RAMZA]

I like to join in the beta test. Tks

[mebezac]

Definitely in for the beta test on this, like a few said before, good to see something new

[Hydroponica]

This sounds an awful lot like a Communist coin...But I'd like to join the beta anyways, comrade

  Well communism is great in theory, problem is regulating the humans.   Computers aren't so *fickle* and do as told

[de_xt]

Count me in as a beta testear! I'm looking forward to participating in this experimental crypto coin.

[habsrock93]

I'm in for testing

[xibeijan]

Finally something different.  I would also like to help test.

[mebezac]

Ok wow, mass response in such a short time.

Thanks for all the offers of support! I'll be in touch with all of you in due course.

To those with the GPU rigs, at the moment our block and transaction verification code is CPU bound, although we are looking at being able to push some of this work over to the GPU pipes to make the process more efficient.  Whether that is at a testable point during the beta, or after the production is switched I'm not sure, but we will continue to run the test network post-production anyway.

The Android/iPhone wallets will be a while off (unless someone decides to write one before we do), but its useful to know who has devices they could test with, so thanks for providing the info.

Anything else anyone wishes to know?

What about name - eMulah - is it final? Name is very important for coin.

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?

Any ideas on how you're planning on keeping it CPU bound? YAC had a novel approach, but it didn't take long for people to figure out to gpu and fpga mine it.

Also I get what you're trying to do with the EMU name, but I have to agree that eMulah is kind of a cheesy name for an idea this awesome. I don't have any better idea right now.
