Cardano (ADA): A New Cryptocurrency and More

[TimC]

  I have my ADA in the daedaluswallet and does that wallet get any POS blocks?  I read that ADA does POS but I've had my coins in the wallet for some time but they have not staked yet. I'm reading that the next update might have POS is that correct?

IOHK | Cardano development techniques, with Duncan Coutts, PhD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhKUHpQZIoc&feature=youtu.be

Cardano is being developed with the aim of making it high assurance software. This is code that is rigorously developed using certain techniques to ensure it is bug free and fit to carry huge amounts of value safely, something which is currently missing in the cryptocurrency area.

In this talk, Dr Duncan Coutts, IOHK’s Director of Engineering, explains a mathematical technique being used to specify and test new components of Cardano’s software. Benefits of this approach include reducing accidental complexity in the code, and a simpler specification leads to simpler implementation, and easier testing that can be conducted comprehensively.

There is no other project that has ever been built to these parameters, combining peer reviewed cryptographic research with an implementation in highly secure Haskell code. This is not the copy and paste code seen in so many other blockchains. Instead, Cardano was designed with input from a large global team including leading experts and professors in the fields of computer programming languages, network design and cryptography. We are extremely proud of Cardano, which required a months-long meticulous and painstaking development process by our talented engineers.

Duncan has more than 15 years' programming experience with Haskell and is a well-known member of the Haskell community. He helps maintain several popular libraries and tools including Cabal and ByteString. He has several years' experience in packaging the Haskell toolchain and took a leading role in establishing the Haskell Platform.

He holds a first-class degree in Computation and a D.Phil in Computer Science, both from Oxford University. He has published papers at international conferences, including ICFP. His research focus is on generating high performance code from idiomatic high-level Haskell code. This included co-authoring the ByteString and Binary libraries and work on stream fusion for lists. He has five years' experience teaching computer science, including four years spent teaching Haskell to mature students at graduate level.

This coin have been rated well by most people but i feel the information supplied is very little even i am not satisfied with the information at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223889.0 because there is no whitepaper and the exchanges website is not included on it or anywhere though i am not saying that the project is not good but it lack great information which ordinarily is present on other ann. thread.

I plan to put some fiat into Cardano. Is this a good time to buy? Where do you see this coin in near future?

[ChangeNOW]

hey guys,

ChangeNOW is the first exchanger to support ADA exchanges quickly, anonymously and with the best rates.
Give it a try and let me know what you think! https://changenow.io/

Let me know if you have any further questions.

[memii]

Nothing contrary on ADA as investment choice by my side. I also have invested in it couple of days ago after missing the train completely in last bull run. Once it had been at over $1 so be sure to expect it again at there at least whenever the markets make come back. It is can be considered good short to midterm investment.

[Neo.Prometheus]

In fact, such a number of purchased tokens speaks very good demand among both small and large investors, and if there is demand then the topic/product is very interesting.

[RimmerAce]

What do you guys think about this?

It is rare to remember the horrifying spectacle of the first 20 of the number of digital currencies in the September Cardano. At first, we think that Cardano ranked the top 20, which may be overestimated. But in recent months, we have studied it deeply. Cardano is very promising. It is indeed a good long-term investment product.

[wangxiaoyan888666]

I think the Cardano hierarchical design concept is very reasonable. Just like the TCP/IP protocol in a computer network, each level has its own position. Using this design concept, it can not only reduce the risk of the whole network bifurcation, but also enhance the expansibility of the system both vertically and horizontally.

[yeyicheng2015]

Behind Cardano's core development team: engineers, scientists and operators, the total number is over 50. It's no exaggeration to say that, as a newly established block chain team, Cardano's team is the most professional and qualified team we've ever seen.

[zhouyc]

Look at Cardano's Github, really very active, reaching an amazing 10000+ submission, and its competitor, EOS's Gitbub, is only submitting 1000+.

SIRIN LABS / Cardano Announce Strategic Partnership



I am so excited to tell you about our new strategic partnership with Emurgo and Cardano.

What do they do?
Emurgo develops, supports, and incubates commercial ventures and helps integrate these businesses into Cardano’s decentralized blockchain ecosystem.

Cardano is a decentralised public blockchain and cryptocurrency project that is now a top-5 cryptocurrency by market capitalisation. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed, and it is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach. Their global development team is a collective of expert engineers and researchers.

Why is this important?
Not only will the FINNEY’s cold-storage wallet support Cardano’s native token (ADA), but the Emurgo team will also be aiding the SIRIN LABS R&D team to integrate the FINNEY smartphone and SIRIN OS with the Cardano protocol.

The availability of the ADA token within the SIRIN LABS ecosystem, will undoubtedly enhance the user experience and utility of the FINNEYTM smartphone, for both crypto enthusiasts and mainstream users.

The FINNEY’s cold-storage wallet will be designed to seamlessly interact between tokens and coins that are supported within the wallet. So first, the ADA token will be supported in the wallet. Next, we are creating a DApp store and providing developers with an SDK to significantly grow the number of DApps in existence. This partnership will bring ADA support and functionality to the DApp store, meaning that if you want to purchase an app from the DApp store, but you only have ADA stored in your wallet and since all transactions will need to be performed in SRN, you will be able to make that purchase in ADA. The wallet’s functionality will automatically and seamlessly exchange your ADA for SRN. Users will be prompted to approve a transaction for the appropriate amount of ADA, and then the phone will conduct the transaction in SRN.
 
 This partnership, with an organization as renowned and recognized as Cardano, speaks to the belief in the SIRIN LABS vision. This functionality speaks to the ability to bring a friendly and simplified user experience, which in-turn creates the mass-appeal to bring the blockchain into the hands of every person who uses a smartphone.

Two great projects but I still really don't know exactly why one needs the other, especially since SRN has its own onboard currency.

I heard that ADA is going to develope their wallet and when holders transfer ADA coins to this wallet, they will be got profit. Is that right?

Cardano's Ouroboros: Proving Proof of Stake can work in the wild

Just taking into account the team contracted to work on it, that alone boosts it to a top 10 coin. The team is impressive and scientifically robust. Haven't seen that many PhDs and professors working on any other blockchain project.
