[ANN] ₩orldo -The World Currency. Botnet proof. CPU only. (Alpha)

[cryptoknightt]

You guys are dead serious about this
Alot of thought put into it I see
Will be watching, If you can really keep the botnets away that would be big

Why the trillion?

When do you think you will be done? Do you have any time frame estimate? This is very interesting!

[Tovey]

looks good,I'm interested!

[Tasunko]

I'm interested!

Can we get something of the prelaunch? Yes please 

[HuuHachu]

Some nice concepts ... but does not seems very practicable to me ...

For example:

How do you prevent a botnet from using consecutives IP addresses in order to validate itself ?
(easily done for example if the botnet controler "owns" an IP network and if the botnet is using it as a proxy to access the internet)

If computers are not "Proof-of-working" all the time, how do you prevent them from launching multiple instances of the client to appear as multiple computers ? (they can expose multiple IP addresses if necessary)

What about honest people using NATs (so only one IP address) ? Only one client allowed ?

Also, as someone already said, you basically want to use the usb drive in a context where a dedicated dongle would do much better.
But such dongles would either have to be built and sold in a centralized manner (maybe checking the real identity of the buyer - bad for anonymity), or you would face people building and using tons of them. (similarly to ASICs with bitcoin)

Any news?

Money does not happen much!

In the coin has charisma!

We already know when it will be launched?

Is the logo supposed to be based off the Final Fantasy VII map?

No. It is derived from Pangaea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea

Why the trillion?

We just wanted a large number, although at the moment a trillion isn't actually possible using a 64 bit signed integer :p

[jonesT]

I hope you REALLY ban GPU miners. GPU mining is killing alt coins. It concentrates all coins in a few hands.
Many new coins promissed just CPU mining, but let GPU miners in and these coins are almost killed now (QRK clones, Q2C...)

I strongly suggest considering a smaller amount.  Trillion is ridiculous just conceptually and as you say will probably lead to bugs.  But more importantly, at that amount the valuation will have to be too high to trade directly in BTC.  The coin will be stuck in LTC trade at the start and dead in the water.

[rhaikh]

I am really looking forward to this coin by the way.  I was excited about HeavyCoin's PoW algorithm ideas but ultimately disappointed by the way the devs dismissed the botnet issue outright, showing lack of planning.  This is the only CPU coin I have seen with actual long term resilience baked in.

[Spoetnik]

flawed concept and clearly the coins available to those that ask for them" comment means it's going to be premined..
it's prob not released yet so they can tweak the botnet optimization for "faster clients" and build up a nice premine.

the anti-botnet measures employed even if they worked as stated would at most be a small deterrent to s mall group of botnets.
the rest would chug along fine raping the coin at will.. it hinges on the assumption that most botnet machines are slow
and i think that is a bad assumption. Further more Botnet op's are dumb and don't solo mine.. they use pools and drain us small guys dry.
Ask any respected REAL coin dev and they will surely agree with me Botnets should solo but they never do.. they are dumb and greedy.

blah blah.. i'm wasting my time and will be banned for trolling again any minute now i'm sure (it's ok for everyone else here to troll but not me i guess)
and i bet Cryptsdy etc is already setting up the market page for it already.. those geniuses just added Aurrora coin lol

i can code and have looked at miner src and coin src and i just don't see any way to stop botnets.. not sure it's possible.
but it's sure a great marketing tag line for a coin release.. when you even state you want to do that, even if it doesn't work
your still ahead of all the other useless name / icon changing scam clones.. in other words a complete failure is a massive success here
when the bar has been lowered sooooo low.

prove me wrong.. by all means post some source code and let's see how it works and then lets get some of the skilled coders to evaluate it..
just don't forget aside from *maybe the first few hours no one solo mines.. after that pools get set up fast as lightning.. so....

edit:
Let me make self clear here.. i am no trying to pick on this coin.. i would love to see the anti-botnet idea work..
and if it did i would advertise this thing hard everywhere non stop above all other coins.
i hope i'm wrong.. i want to be wrong.. i hope someone proves me wrong and puts me in my place LOL
If you can make this idea work you have my full support ! (otherwise back to the searching for a good one routine)
and hey good luck ..i mean it too, i wish more people were looking into anti-miner-botnet ideas.

5 weeks passed. How does it looks like with beta?

Found this coin ad in someone's signature...
