[ANN] [XDAG] Community Driven - First Mineable DAG | CPU Mining

[rgsnedds]

I saw in the updated roadmap for 2019 that during the first quarter, the hash algorithm adjustment will be made.
So, in short, which algorithm that the XDAG team chose for XDAG yet?

DNET.

xdag is dead?

[Pon13]

xdag is dead?

in terms of price i guess yes although most crypto are dead in terms of price these days.
in terms of active development, well, i dunno

this coin is minted fpga card

[neuromancer4867]

If you are a newbie for XDAG and want to know it more, you can get the free trial by Blackminer F1, the Hashrate for XDAG could reach 14.7GH/s.
The coins mined are all owned by the applicants, but the electricity bill needs to be paid by applicants(＄4.3 in all).
Wish XDAG could flourish!
 
Free trial is available by the following address:

The problem being that XDAG is already ASIC ran with profitability being in the dumps for FPGA

xdag is dead?

I can't even figure out where check the price of xdag, I hope that I can trade this coin one day on some conventional exchange.

[kostepanych2]

Does anyone continue working on this coin? Or all developers has left the project? Xdag is dead?

[kbs1]

Currently there is an ongoing development on reduction of block reward plus new features. So XDAG is definitely not dead

removal of DNET?

[kbs1]

Maybe later, it is not posing a problem right now, as there are not many nodes in the network, but yes, big plans like storage system rework and such are also being worked on ;-)

Still on the go!!
Thanks to KBS1 for all work he made this last month with the team.
Very glad to work with people who share the same vision.

We have now several tests made on our network to apply all changes made recently.
We'll have some fresh news soon about storage and other things.
Also, we started to reach some exchange to being listed on, not an easy task as we are not pushed by a company with huge bags of BTC, but anyway, one by one, we'll got them !!!

Sorry to not being here more... we know its a central place for crypto marketing, but you also knows its not our main concern.i'll try to come in a few with some technical info.

Cheers

XDAG Project Briefing

Issue 1, 2020

XDAGers, we meet again.

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 hit the “pause button” for many economic activities, but the pace of XDAG’s progress was not interrupted. After completing the production cuts, enthusiasts are pressing on with the Apollo program. Recent development has been around the RocksDB storage revamp, with a new version to be released after testing is complete.

RocksDB version introduction
Historical Issues:
For historical reasons, the node needs to reload data into memory every time it reboots, rebooting the node takes at least 20+ hours (before version 0.3.1, it took about 7 days to reboot), and takes up a lot of memory, hard disk, etc. The problem is a serious constraint on the expansion of community consensus.

In response to this issue, the community has completed development work on the RocksDB version, resolving the reload issue:

Data will be written into RocksDB from memory;
Drastically reduce the memory consumption of the mining pool (about 300M).
The full-node wallet (mining pool) reload time is reduced to seconds.
alt text

Comparison between 0.3.1 and RocksDB versions
Version   Data storage   Memory Consumption   Reload time
0.3.1   Memory   50G   20 hours
RocksDB version   RocksDB   300MB   Seconds
Recent works
Development work
Completed coding of RocksDB version with heavy workload, now submitted PR (https://github.com/XDagger/xdag/pull/570); Bill and swordlet released new version of Android wallet and PC wallet, with support for transaction note function; discussed and identified new mining algorithm as RandomX.

Testing work
Bill built the testing framework and did a lot of testing on the RocksDB version, and kbs1 will join the testing work soon.

Community operation
Co-working with BBX exchange to carry out four activities of XDAG; lunch on QB.COM exchange and start on board activities simultaneously.

Follow-up works
Daniel, the founder of XDAG, has vowed to create a fair system of cryptocurrency based on DAG technology, which the community has been aiming for. The core idea of the Apollo program is to complete the implementation of the “equity” feature of XDAG, the community will follow the implementation steps of RocksDB -> modify mining algorithm -> dnet refactoring -> de-whitelist to achieve this goal.

RocksDB to address reloading issues
See introduction above.

Mining algorithms to address mining equity issues
The old versions: SHA256D mining algorithm, which has a large number of professional mining machines, has led to a concentration of hash power in the hands of few people, which is far from the “fairness” that the community seeks, the adoption of a fair algorithm is the voice of the entire XDAG community.

New version: using the Random X algorithm, featuring anti-professional mining machines, and optimized specifically for general-purpose CPUs, mining is more decentralized and fairness.

dnet refactoring
Adopts libuv (underlying technology of node.js) to reconstruct P2P network transmission, ensuring stable and efficient transmission

Older versions: messy dnet code, complex multi-threaded logic.

New version: libuv event loop rebuilds the core P2P network code to ensure stability and reliability while enhancing future scalability.

Optimize network transmission and remove whitelisting
Older versions: too many bytes transferred over the network, too long synchronization time, severe centralization.

New version
Optimizes the data structure of the network transmission, reduces the network communication bandwidth, and plans to adopt DHT network distributed hash tables, completely removing whitelisting restrictions.

alt text The XDAG fans are never gone, the pace of progress never stops, and XDAG is destined to continue the road to decentralization and eventually reach the “other side” of fairness…

Thank you to Bill, Swordlet, kbs1, the many contributors who have been quietly contributing, and to you who are following XDAG!

Postscript
The year 2020 is an extraordinary one, with the new coronavirus ravaging the world, accumulating about 2 million confirmed cases as of April 15, causing great impact and loss to human society. Humans are also so small in the face of viruses. Here, we pray for the blessings for the world to quickly win this epidemic war!

Technical Update


Our next release 0.4.0 is still in review, we really miss more dev to watch our code, the more we are, faster development will goes forward. Random X last stage is now completed, but still under review to avoid ambiguities,It will be deployed in our 0.5.0 rev.


Marketing and community


More marketing strategy are already in place, we will be having upcoming Community AMA Series and also more promption campaign in the future, announcements regarding this will be communicated at the right time. We worked also to update all website where our stats and metrics are displayed, so CoinmarketCap/coinguecko and coinpaprika at least should display good information now.

Our community users based are increasing daily, happy to see more enthusiast are joining XDAG community, and they also have their slogan saying they are “Proudly Xdagian” we’re also proud of your continued support and contribution.

Lastly this report won’t be complete without adding the most recent and informative AMA we just did in the CoinEx community, Titled “Walk into the originator of [DAG+POW] XDAG” It was a mind blowing session, kindly see the link to check out the Recap :

» AMA Recap «

In conclusion we are still in pursuit of bringing Unique technologies for all and making sure XDAG stand out admist all, together we can make it possible, more goodnews will still be shared in the community.

XDAG Fork for RandomX deployment

As warned some days ago, RandomX will go live on our mainnet on main block 1540096 February 22nd 2021, 15:00 UTC . There will be no changes or manipulations to be made for the users, only the mining pools are concerned. We will come back to you with an update of the wallets shortly.


Mining changes

As you all know, this change of algo was long overdue to counter the big miners who were taking over the network. From now on, anyone can mine XDAG, even from his or her desktop computer. This opens up a wide field of possibilities for mining, and we hope to convince the mining communities of Monero and Firo to join us to strengthen our network.

Technical

We already have a miner ready for use, there are no major changes other than the algo.

This miner does not require files wallet.dat and dnet_key.dat. Storage folder is still necessary.

You can find it at this adress: XdagRandomxMiner/releases/tag/v0.4

How do I retrieve my wallet balance from previous versions？

I second this question - what happened to our coins? Are they safe?

Do you backup your three 3 files:
wallet.dat
dnet_key.dat
storage

If yes,please cover with these 3 files,then you can retrieve your wallet balance from latest versions.
If no,you cant find your coins.
