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

[tyz]

The Raiblocks dev mentioned many times that privacy features slows down txs substantially. If this issue is solved than this project will be very interesting to say the least. Can't wait to see the whitepaper.

Me either. I have followed Raiblocks for a while and a big issue for me was always the missing privacy feature which Byteball for example has. If Stone can implement this missing feature and if it keeps the positive features of Raiblocks than I expect that it will be more poplular than XRB.

[NMIQ]

Hopefully everything goes smooth with the project. If felixando is able to deliver I think this project will have a great future because of how much privacy is needed in this space. Looking forward to seen the actual codebase as well as a more detailed roadmap.

Will it be minable or not?
Any decision on distribution structure. Also howo much total supply and what will be the division of coins?

Hi, thank you for your interest, so far 30% will be split among donators, 5% will be split among posters on the thread, the remaining 65% yet to be determined, but will be split in an equally fair manner, not allowing single entities to gather large percentages of the supply, as this method of hoarding is not positive long term for a project.

Total supply would be 150million, capped, no mining, no more to be released by any other methods, i dislike the faucet method as it was rather toxic to the RaiBlocks community, and i would like Stone to start off on a positive leg.

5% will be kept for a development fund, advertising fund, community fund and for setting up the Stone foundation.

Hey checkout my wallet image for the start screen.
Let me know what you all think.

Quoting again for community visibility, what are the initial thoughts on these splash designs?








felixando

Hey Felixando, just wanted to say that I read that Thread since the beginning and I am really happy that Stones moves forward and u kept focused. Dont listen to those people who seems to doubt u and stone. Cant wait to see more of it and be part of it. Pls let me know, if u need any help.

Cheers, Jack

I love Raiblocks, but I too have thought about the possibilities of trasnforming it into a privacy coin.

In many ways, I believe that keeping Raiblocks transparent will allow a larger adaptation - especially for merchants and industry use.

SO far, your splash screens and logo are beautiful for Stone, and the name is great. How is your development coming?

[Sam123]

I will donate when I see a very first draft of the whitepaper or some basic code.
For now, good luck Dev

The first one is very nice, I think... Good work!

[riccardop]

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.

I agree. A lightweight web-based wallet would be perfect

The first one is what i like. All parts of a design being on the middle is what i prefer most of the time when looking at designs as long as the contents are sorted correctly and they all fit together

The website seems to be down at the moment.

The website seems to be down at the moment. 

What website ?


I really recomment for the creator of coin to create public discord channel.

[uDwcHYO]

when will the methods of coins distribution be known?

[SLZY J]

Been watching this thread for a couple weeks now, seems to have grown a little buzz. Still fairly skeptical so I do not plan on donating at this moment. Hoping to have more details in the coming month. Best of luck to all who have already donated!

I have been following this project since day one and just wanted to say that I appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this project. I wish you all the success.

It looks great. I like the one where the three rings make up the O in Stone.

[DeepField]

Been lurking this project since there was 4 pages.

If this is developed, it will be a game changer.

Will keep following this thread.

[osterich14]

Long time lurker here. Would like to see more evidence of the work and who you are, but all will be forgiven if you deliver. Planning to make a donation soon if things keep progressing. If you are looking for donations, I think you might want to think about writing a basic white paper, making a website then running an ICO for a token that you can exchange for Stone. It seems that you can get a lot of donations for very little by doing this. It also seems a lot less sketchy than asking for donations like you are.

Introduction


Stone will be the first DAG (direct acylic graph) data-structured digital currency with private transactions, allowing instant, fee-less anonymous transaction with high scaling (up to 7,000txs per second) Stone will be forked from the RaiBlocks codebase, whilst the chain is not near completion as it currently stands and it just myself who will be working on the project, i do not offer high quality illustrations & impressive marketing, what i do offer, however is highly scalable, private, instant a fee-less transactions, all on a decentralized network once the project is complete



Work Ethics


What i can promise you

• Dedication
• Constant updates
• a finished product
• a quality product delivered in a timely manner

What i cannot promise you

• Exchange listings
• Price increases
• Advertising
• False hype
• An unfinished product, i always complete a project.

This pre-announcement is merely just the beginning of a long path, the stepping stone for a great advance in an already amazing pre-existing technology. I cannot express enough respect Colin and his innovative idea which has solved the blockchain debacle, a incredible amount of work and dedication has gone it to his project and Stone will never discredit his efforts.


Methodology


I've been experimenting with the idea of using zkSNARKs, similar to the tech used in the ZCash cryptocurrency, this will prove to be a challenge since we are no longer using a blockchain, we are using a DAG.


From my findings with drafts between the balanced-weighted vote & sk-SNARKs, unfortunately the implementation will not transact in-line in the manner i originally set out to achieve, therefor i have played with the idea of off-chain addresses, t-addresses (Stone) for standard transactions & z-addresses (zStone), with an exact exchange between paired wallets for a private untraceable transaction. My idea further extends to to have Stodes (Nodes), which act as a direct atomic swap 1:1 with Stone & zStone, anyone would be able to see the the swap 1:1 between the two, but no one would be able to see where you have received the zStone as it was transacted off-chain.

                           OFF-CHAIN
        Bob                    ->           Alice
(zStone) Transactions    ->    (zStone)  Received


                              SWAP
         Alice                    ->            Ted (Node)      ->          Alice
(zStone) Swap 1:1        ->            Receive/Send       ->    (Stone) Received

Alice receives a private transaction from Bob via zStone, Alice now has 100 zStone, Alice now wants standard Stone, she swaps the 100 zStone for Stone 1:1 via a Stone node. The end result is Alice successfully has completed a private transaction with Bob, and swapped back into the base currency, all within the wallet, this method allows the DAG protocol to still function with its representative method.

Apologies in advance for the rough draft schematics, this is not anywhere near complete and is subject to change.

zStone would not be a separate currency and not tradable on an exchange, its simply the channel to achieve completely private transactions, with a swap 1:1 with Stone, they would not be worth anymore or any less.

a very short summary, zkSNARKs have 4 main ingredients:


A) Encoding as a polynomial problem


The program that is to be checked is compiled into a quadratic equation of polynomials: t(x) h(x) = w(x) v(x), where the equality holds if and only if the program is computed correctly. The prover wants to convince the verifier that this equality holds.


B) Succinctness by random sampling


The verifier chooses a secret evaluation point s to reduce the problem from multiplying polynomials and verifying polynomial function equality to simple multiplication and equality check on numbers: t(s)h(s) = w(s)v(s)


This reduces both the proof size and the verification time tremendously.


C) Homomorphic encoding / encryption


An encoding/encryption function E is used that has some homomorphic properties (but is not fully homomorphic, something that is not yet practical). This allows the prover to compute E(t(s)), E(h(s)), E(w(s)), E(v(s)) without knowing s, she only knows E(s) and some other helpful encrypted values.


D) Zero Knowledge


The prover permutes the values E(t(s)), E(h(s)), E(w(s)), E(v(s)) by multiplying with a number so that the verifier can still check their correct structure without knowing the actual encoded values.


The very rough idea is that checking t(s)h(s) = w(s)v(s) is identical to checking t(s)h(s) k = w(s)v(s) k for a random secret number k (which is not zero), with the difference that if you are sent only the numbers (t(s)h(s) k) and (w(s)v(s) k), it is impossible to derive t(s)h(s) or w(s)v(s).

(Christian Reitwiessner 2016)



Distribution

One big question which is still left unanswered, and may be for some time, is distribution, I am unsure of how the coin will be distributed at these early stages, but when the time comes i’m positive the community will assist with an efficient, fair solution.



Whilst i do not wish to run a crowdsale, donations are welcome and will go towards my efforts in development. Donators will be noted in a database & published alongside Stone's main announcement, your assistance will not go unnoticed, depending on the distribution method selected as a community, donators may be included as a portion of distribution, we must first select method of distribution and work from there. For now donations should be treated as exactly that, donations.

If you wish to donate - please send a PM me which currency & amount right before the transaction is made, so i am able to keep track of transaction ownership in my speadsheet, to make things run smooth, if possible PM me the transaction ID after, and also any other contact details you wish for me to add into my documents encase i cannot contact you via PM. Sending from exchange or personal wallet are both fine, if you are sending from an exchange possibly include a refund address in your message encase of any issues.

Hey, did you like my suggestion?
I sent it in your private and here in the topic page 14, please inform me if you liked it or not

[advanced]

Felixando always writes "PM me for more questions" .

While he/she has been extremely quick in replying me that yes , he is still accepting donation, I am still waiting for a reply (5 days now) to some basic questions I asked him.

So let me ask here publicly :

how do you plan in bootstrapping enough nodes to make the network sustainable?
why did you decided to work on it all by yourself without getting help / open source contributions?
which programming language are you working on?
is this your first project of this kind? Any track records?
Are you keeping track of the amount of contributors?
When do you plan to launch testnet?
Are you going to use funds to sustain yourself during development or, if succesful, are you going to use them to make stone into a full-time company? Or both?
