[ANN][RHOC] Official RChain Cooperative - 40,000 TX/SEC SCALABLE BLOCKCHAIN

[Mcry89]

Official RChain Cooperative Bitcointalk Announcement Thread
(The previous [ANN]RChain thread has been locked and is obsolete)

The open-source RChain project is building a decentralized, economic, censorship-resistant, public compute infrastructure and blockchain. It will host and execute programs popularly referred to as “smart contracts”. It will be trustworthy, scalable, concurrent, with proof-of-stake consensus and content delivery.

Using smart contracts, a broad array of fully-scalable decentralized applications (dApps) can be built on the top of this platform. DApps may address areas such as identity, tokens, timestamping, financial services, monetized content delivery, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), exchanges, reputation, private social networks, marketplaces, and many more.

Summary of the RChain Coop's First Annual Meeting

Individuals from all over the globe came together on Tuesday, October 24th, 2017 for RChain Cooperative’s first annual membership meeting.

New Code Released for Vlad Zamfir's Ethereum 'Casper' Upgrade

The initial version of the Casper proof-of-stake protocol upgrade from Ethereum developer Vlad Zamfir has been released.

Published on Tuesday, the code – following its presentation at the Devcon3 event in Cancun earlier this month – aims to fundamentally rework how blocks are created and propagated on the ethereum network. It's actually one of two simultaneous bids to develop code for Casper, with the other arm being spearheaded by network creator Vitalik Buterin.

Zamfir's take on Casper comes several days after the publication of a white paper, titled "Casper the Friendly Ghost."

The paper focuses on "correct-by-construction consensus protocols," seeking to simplify how blockchains achieve consensus in a "partially synchronous network." In other words, it's trying to reduce the overall complexity of the blockchain.

This approach differs from Buterin’s own white papers on the upgrade. Buterin had previously released a three-part explanation of how his vision of Casper would operate.

While Zamfir's code release may represent on a small part of a bigger effort, its publication signals a new phase of development that will bring ethereum a step closer to overhauling the infrastructure that underlies the network.

As explained by CoinDesk, miners today discover and add new blocks through the proof-of-work process, in a way similar to how bitcoin functions (with some differences that are unique to ethereum, like the discovery of "uncle" blocks.)

This energy-intensive process is a competitive one, driving miners to purchase power-hungry graphics cards – a cycle that has led firms like AMD and Nivida to report significant revenues thanks to the renewed interest in cryptocurrency mining.

Yet Casper would, if and when fully realized, aim to shift away from this model entirely. Nodes could mine by essentially having funds deposited– the "stake" in proof-of-stake – and held over time, generating rewards as the node discovers each new block.

Private sale ended Sept 28. no ICO, and so far no ICO planned till Mercury platform release which is expected late 2018.

RHOC price at private sale was $0.20 (15% bonus for >USD1M) : 9.8m out of 15m hard cap was collected during private sale.

Those tokens are currently listed on Ether delta and can be purchased here :

Vlad's Casper the friendly ghost focuses on "correct-by-construction consensus protocols," seeking to simplify how blockchains achieve consensus in a "partially synchronous network." This correct-by-construction consensus protocol will be implemented in RChain's platform.

Thanks for starting a new thread. $RHOC is a great project.

Is Vlad Zamfir actually an official team member or is he only giving advice or comments?

[mylabs01]

Nice project! Welcome to our website. We are the most informative ICO list, it helps you with funding. Good luck, guys 

If you are the most informative, then probably you are the ICO the we can easily trust for because of platform that you've usually offer.

looks fine, any more details on the roadmap?

As cited here in our official Medium post : https://medium.com/rchain-cooperative/vlad-zamfir-joins-the-rchain-cooperative-a05f8e32c110

The RChain Cooperative announces that Vlad Zamfir, known for his work on proof-of-stake for the Ethereum Foundation, has joined the Co-op’s Board of Directors. Vlad is passionate about enabling social responsibility in technology organizations through blockchain governance.

“Being a director of the RChain cooperative is an opportunity to help a nascent community develop future-proof norms and institutions that will guarantee ongoing responsible blockchain governance. In my capacity as a director, I will firmly advocate that the RChain ecosystem’s blockchain governance infrastructure prioritizes the interests of its users, the RChain community, and broader society.” — Vlad Zamfir
