Cardano (ADA): A New Cryptocurrency and More

[Raja_MBZ]

Be on your guard, guys!

We have been notified that Cardano community members are receiving DM’s across Telegram and other platforms about Daedalus. Please ignore, they are scams. Updates on Daedalus will be shared by official accounts.

now THIS i like to see

moon inbound (one day) lol

Impressive, but what are your feels on the Charles Hotchcoma or whatever leader himself? I could never get past the Ego.

Cardano have so many surprises for this year I think it bottom out and it will move to higher floor in coming days. It's great chance to buy on every dip because it looking safe investment and future will be really bright.

Cardano Classic is an ERC20 token, a complete scam package. It has absolutely no partnership/collaboration or whatsoever with Cardano:

Cardano is the first peer-to-peer transaction system based on scientifically tested theories. It aims to combine the transactional properties of Bitcoin with the Smart Contract and the DApps system of Ethereum.

Cardano is a decentralized, blockchain based system, powered by the ADA coin, the cryptocurrency which runs on the Cardano platform. Much like Ethereum, it is a smart contract-based system and can be used to run Decentralized Apps (called DApps). But Cardano is a layered system; i.e.

It has a separate layer which runs ADA exchange, and
A separate one which runs the Smart Contracts.
Cardano claims to be the first cryptocurrency which runs on a scientific peer review, which ensures its safety.

As the Cardano cryptocurrency, ADA, is not widely in circulation, it can be bought on a few of the major platforms, such as CoinSwitch, Binance and Bittrex, ATMs in Japan will soon be available to buy ADA. Other major platforms include KuCoin, ChangeNow, Cryptopia and more - all of which are available on CoinSwitch.

The Yoroi Wallet for Android is now available at Google Play Store:

I've been using it for the last few hours, and I must admit that it's yet another great piece of work by Emurgo!

That is amazing article article and it is worth for it to read and understand why Cardano is different than other existing blockchain and how secure that. Thanks for sharing this update link no doubt ADA will be next big thing.

I've been following Github activity of Cardano for a while, and I must admit that it's quite awesome!

No doubt these are amazing facts but they should have to develop a light weight wallet to store this coin with confidence. Deadalus is one of the most stupid wallet in the history of cryptocurrency and unfortunately I am using this and facing trouble to keep this update.

I've never faced any major issue with Daedalus; I'm not sure (and confused) why you think it's the "most stupid wallet in the history of cryptocurrency"...

Plus:

You should only use Daedalus if you want a full node; if you don't want a full node, use a light-client wallet such as Yoroi.

Actually downloading Deadalus wallet is a pain at least from my experience, it literally gulp down all my data bandwidth and not to mention i have to wake up at wee hours of the morning to have strong signal for a bit fast download
Didn't even know about an alternative wallet if not woulda certainly go for the latter, well i guess it's time to pickup some ada again now, hope they can develop lite version for a second option.

Cardano delivers yet another holy grail, this time for fungibility/privacy!!!

Sonic: Zero-Knowledge SNARKs from Linear-Size Universal and Updateable Structured Reference Strings


ABSTRACT

Zero-knowledge proofs have become an important tool for addressing privacy and scalability concerns in cryptocurrencies and other applications. In many systems each client downloads and verifies every new proof, and so proofs must be small and cheap to verify.The most practical schemes require either a trusted setup, as in (pre-processing) zk-SNARKs, or verification complexity that scales linearly with the complexity of the relation, as in Bulletproofs. The structured reference strings required by most zk-SNARK scheme scan be constructed with multi-party computation protocols, but the resulting parameters are specific to an individual relation. Groth etal. discovered a zk-SNARK protocol with a universal and updateable structured reference string, however the string scales quadratically in the size of the supported relations.Here we describe a zero-knowledge SNARK, Sonic, which sup-ports a universal and continually updateable structured reference string that scales linearly in size. Sonic proofs are constant size, and in the batch verification context the marginal cost of verification is comparable with the most efficient SNARKs in the literature.We also describe a generally useful technique in which untrusted “helpers” can compute advice which allows batches of proofs to be verified more efficiently.


Our Contributions

We present Sonic, a new zk-SNARK for general arithmetic circuit satisfiability. Sonic requires a trusted setup, but unlike conventional SNARKs the structured reference string supports all circuits (up to a given size bound) and is also updateable, so that it can be continually strengthened. This addresses many of the practical challenges and risks surrounding such setups. Sonic’s structured reference string grows linear in size with respect to the size of supported circuits,as opposed to the scheme by Groth et al. which scales quadratically. The structured reference string in Sonic also does not need to be specialized or pre-processed for a given circuit. This makes a large,distributed and never-ending setup process a practical reality.


CONCLUSIONS

Zero-knowledge protocols have gained significant traction in recent years in the application domain of cryptocurrencies, which has led to the development of new protocols with significant performance gains. At the same time, the requirements of this application have given rise to protocols with new features, such as an untrusted setup and a reference string that allows one to prove more than a single relation. In this paper, we present Sonic, which captures a valuable set of trade-offs between these key functional requirements of untrusted setup and universality. At the same time, as we demonstrate via a prototype implementation, Sonic has competitive proof sizes and verification time with the state-of-the-art.

tldr; Cardano fixed all the things that make Zcash shitty but kept the good stuff that makes Zcash marginally interesting

A new roadmap for Cardano will be introduced on the 18th of April (or slightly after that) of this year:

The Cardano roadmap is changing. We will be launching an exciting new roadmap which showcases the Cardano 2020 vision after the IOHK Summit, which will be taking place on April 17-18. CEO Charles Hoskinson will outline this vision in his keynote speech and the roadmap will be relaunched with a renewed focus on this milestone. For the time being, we will be removing the timer on the roadmap page as well as publishing intermittent updates about important software releases.

It is interesting to keep eye on this project surely it will make this more great than before the development going on much faster. Cardano is project for next generation and it will open the door of opportunities and will make involve in this.

- French language support
- New "About Yoroi" tab

I've just used the "Daedalus Paper Wallet" recovery feature and it worked perfectly!

This is bug report for Emurgo.

It's kind of funny but doesn't look professional  .

It'd be better if you report it to Emurgo. I think they even reply through their official Twitter handles; you may let them know about that in a reply to one of their tweets. BTW, is that bug really worth mentioning? It seems like people expect real perfection from Emurgo/IOHK.

Hello friends,
I would like to steal my cardano, preferably without a pool but just on my private pc, is that possible?

and how about the staking pools? Do I have to send them or stay in my possession on my wallet?
thx
