[ANN] DERO: DAG + Cryptonote + Bulletproofs + SSL + POW + Smart Contracts

In the long term all 100% proof of work coins are dead.

The question is what is the team's position on this.

Why you say that, can u provide an example of what could happen?

Thanks

As MagicSmoker said, PoW coins cannot be scaled up without enormous energy usage; there must be an alternative plan that hybridises PoW somehow.

You can see an example of this with Loki, a newer fork of Monero that implements inventivised service nodes.

The Dero team is reluctant to implement anything off-chain as far as I know, which rules out a system such as Loki's.  But then I am curious as to the plan as to how Dero can be scaled up with everything they said is going to be implemented on-chain.

Energy usage is only high because of competition between miners. The whole network could be mined on a single laptop like Bitcoin did in 2008.

Was the atlantis update on Apr 20 the hard fork? Or are those two separate events? I have been gone a while and didn't realize Dero was going to fork.

They're two different things - Atlantis will be launching very soon

FPGAs are coming to Cryptonight.

What then?

Atlantis....
It hasn't started yet....

Dero is 500TPS.
ETH or BTCP is 20～30TPS.

It is fast as natural aspiration car.
Non-turbo may be more stable.
Smart contracts is non-turbo, too.

interesting.

I'd also like to see the elimination of mining pools by incorporating 'virtual pooling' directly on the blockchain.  Seems to me like you could implement a system where solo miners mining directly from their wallet get rewards that are proportional to their hashrate with every new block.  See no reason why this can't be implemented (in combination with PoS, too).  With native SSL any miners not wallet based could be locked out, and with certification only certified wallets could be mining, eliminating the possibility that one person distributes mining across a bunch of hardware.  I'm just brainstorming here but seems to me the possibilities are wide open with the features Dero has on the roadmap.

This is a must, I've always thought that mining to the daemon directly is going to be healthier to the net than just adding more hashing power to pools.

I'm not aboard the taxation boat, could be managed over blockchain tho, and it will only work once many governments adopt cryptocurrencies as a running value. May take a few years from now.

strange that they have already posted information about this FPGA . means that their development fee will bring more then the rig.
64KH/s with Cryptonight-V7  
greedy bastards  
they will finally bring down the price

About DERO  

The Dero Project has written a unique new blockchain technology that is based on the CryptoNote protocol. Dero's goal is to create a unique state of the art blockchain technology with enhanced reliability, privacy, security, usability, and portability by bringing together some of the best proven technologies like the CryptoNote protocol and smart contracts, thereby allowing for the creation of truly private smart contracts.

The Dero development team has implemented complete SSL across the Dero network which is a first on any blockchain. This encrypts the entirety of our network traffic, which greatly reduces our attack surface, while simultaneously preventing ISPs or other users from analyzing Dero’s network traffic.

Dero's Key Features  

• DERO is a completely new and unique CryptoNote blockchain written in Golang
• DERO is the first blockchain to have complete SSL in the P2P layer
• DERO will be the first CryptoNote blockchain to have 500 transactions per second on its native blockchain without any lightning networks, validators or off-blockchain solutions
• DERO will be first CryptoNote blockchain to have smart contracts on its native chain without any extra layers or secondary blockchains
• CryptoNote privacy
• Smart contracts
• Atomic swaps
• Mobile and offline wallets
• Lightweight wallets
• Subaddresses
• Escrow services on the blockchain
• Address signing and certifying
• Voting on a private blockchain

About The Developers  

There are three developers working on the Dero Project who have been working in the field of cryptography and blockchain development as a team for more than a decade. Dero's research and development team are devoted full time to the project, and can often be found in our Slack channel. For now, the development team are choosing to retain their privacy until the Dero Project incorporates.

Coin Specifications  

 

• Proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm: CryptoNight
• Max supply: 18.4 million for the first 8 years followed by an infinite emission rate after year 8 of ~157,000 DERO/year
• Block reward: Smoothly varying
• Block time: 120 seconds
• Difficulty: Retargets at every block
• Ticker: DERO

Dero's Roadmap  

 

• Q1/2018 - Dero's new unique blockchain written and full Activation. - Completed ahead of schedule with the extra addition of complete SSL across Dero's network
• Q2/2018 - Record CryptoNote TX/sec, GUI wallets, sub addresses, atomic swaps, and smart contract testing.
• Q3/2018 - Smart contract support on chain. Q3 2018.
• Q4/2018 - Strategic market expansion, team growth, and more (coming soon).

What happened to the creative writing campaign?  Is it still around?

When I visit the page I don't see a link to where you can actually view and submit proposals.

Is that the point at which Dero is ready for prime-time, then? I thought there was still much to do.

There will always be much to do

Dero-Atlantis is coming along very well, but there is no further information publicly available beyond that. My personal tweets should give you some fun hints though!

It seems based on tweet responses that dero has finally gone to telegram? Can you confirm, and if so add it to your top of page post so others are aware at a glance it’s legit.
