[PRE-ANN] Stone - DAG Data-Structured Private Cryptocurrency

[pararius]

Sounds like everyone needs to chill.  If you think it's a scam, don't donate.  Donating is a huge risk and that's why the Dev is offering a large reward to donors if and when the code is ready to be released.  Also, a project this size will take months for one Dev so be patient.

this. everybody wants to donate but be 150% sure its not a scam and also huge profits

So you deleted the previous post accusing you of copy/paste the transitive reduction. You delete whatever you don’t agree with?

Also I didnt get any reply to my previous question. You said that with the 'Transitive reduction of G' there will be more privacy ontop of zk-SNARK’s. Why is that?

Ok^
 
But can you give us a quick and dirty summary now? It doesn't need to be perfect

*He has deleted my posts as well

Well to my mind transitive reduction has nothing to do with privacy. How do yo add more privacy on top of zk-SNARK’s? Also, why did you delete my previous posts?

This is not up to you, this is my project, i will release it how it is, at the top of the page it says [PRE-ANN] which stands for pre-announcement, which means it is a non-complete project. I'm not quite sure who you think you are telling me i cannot speak until its complete, but i can assure you, i can and i will do as i wish.

i'm only one person, whilst juggling PM's, posts, coding & real life, can be quite challenging, so i have chosen to prioritize accordingly, this is not a multi-million dollar project with 18 team members, its just myself. I have dedicated myself to the project and it will be completed, if your not happy with that response and want a insta-release-pump-and-dump-isntant 9999%gain then you may want to look elsewhere, this is not the project you are looking for, this is a genuine idea which was formed into a project which is being actively developed, once released will be one of a kind and have real world use.

If you use donor funds correctly, this will greatly speed up the process of developing a code and putting it into practice.

I agree that this is your project, but it is being developed for the entire community, and this should be taken into account.

I wish this project to achieve its goal in the shortest time. I hope everything will be as good as possible!


I would also like to add about Distribution, the best method will be that which will be accessible to all and should not be complicated. 1) Captcha (today there are many different captcha's with a high protection from the bots), 2) Or use some easy browser game.

I am also interested in helping test the new network, have been lurking for the past couple of weeks myself. Also I think the POS distro, or the captcha distro is fine whatever you decide please attempt to make it fair. Lastly take it easy dude, you are undertaking a huge project and it is paramount you take your time. Have a wonderful day or night wherever you are!

Thank you for your support! its messages like these which keep me devoted to this project.



Small modifications:
        -  Donators list now updated

A bounty is now available for a skilled user to set up a forum for members, supporters & donators to communicate without limitations, also to be the main location of announcements & updates, to claim this bounty you will need to PM me with your previous work and examples, and be accepted by myself.

Bounty 0.02btc from the fund.




A narrow question to my followers, what feature would you like to see the most implemented alongside a DAG chain with a privacy base? I'm attempting to grasp an understanding in to what you, as cypherpunk's & supporters value the uttermost.

A beautiful and easy to use wallet on all major platforms and super good support for exchanges to easily integrate into the network.

From what i have read its a “bitcoin veterans” title, for those that have donated <50btc or more to the bitcoin founders, if you look back to his original posts, you can see he was an early adopter of bitcoin, perhaps donated when btc was quite cheap.

[cryptosalamander]

Glad to see the thread is unlocked! I already PM’d you with my full support but wanted to give it here as well.

As for features, privacy is obviously the #1 issue missing from the other DAG coin that I see. Other coins have things like Smart Contracts, but I’m not sure thats a feature that is very essential. Another potential issue is improving the incentive to run nodes without trx fees, not sure how that could be addressed.

guys this is an obvious scam - please stop donating

Hey checkout my wallet image for the start screen.

Let me know if you need any help on design. I can critique the current start screen and change things up or colors. Just let me know.

Really interesting idea, though I have to question the claim of being the first privacy focused DAG...aren't Blackbytes of Byteball the first privacy focused DAG? Still, I can see benefits of doing it this way instead even if it's not the first.

Will be keeping a close eye on this.

byteball are a different type of DAG, not block lattice, and byteballs does not actually transact anon transactions, its the off chain non tradable soloution:blackbytes.

In addition to this byteball is not free to send, Stone is, the raiblocks codebase is a whole lot better starting point.

[poiseulle]

will be watching closely to this, the private coins out in the market are not a lot yet and any new techs could be promising

[mcall]

I hope Stone is different from XRB, not a fork simply.

They might be different but it's still a DAG.  Blackbytes are also not off-chain like you're saying, they run over the DAG just like regular Byteballs though there's a penalty in fees for the overhead of making them private. Like I said, I agree that there are likely benefits to using Raiblocks as the base (like the fees) but technically Blackbytes are the first DAG with privacy focus.

I been following this project since couple of weeks, wish all the success to mastermind and all the community members. Will donate to the project.

[Verethraghna]

Have seen this thread since its first day and I thought this was just merely a scam, but looking at the attention and support given by the community by now maybe this is a real thing. Good luck with the project and I hope STONE will not keep us waiting long for its appearance!
