[ANN] Blacknet BLN | Staking | Future of zApp & ZeFi

[kprell40]

 Hello All

 I'm new to Blackcoin   

 How many coins to I need  per block size for staking and weight   to get started ? 

  any help will be appreciate .
  thank you

[erok]

Must say wallet is very good looking and working fine, but consuming resurse insanely!
I think the future belongs to fast wallets and instant syncing and maybe even wallets with web support..

running blackcoin-qt on my old laptop and runs perfect
~1GB of RAM usage, and tops to 2% CPU usage

I'd venture to guess that this is a linux and possibly just arm architecture issue since my windows wallet seems fine as well.

Pre-release screenshot

[hacksmash]

What is the final amount of blackcoins to ever be in circulation?

1.5 BLK/minute , 2160 BLK/day, 788400 BLK/year
in 100 years from now 154264359 BLK

final amount ∞

Oh damn, I was hoping it was a limited supply, this definitely makes me rethink my strategy.

will you live 100 years and then buy ?
my strategy is buying and staking

I prefer a limited supply that gets scarcer with time, especially for POS so there isn't a constant game of cat and mouse.

You should look at http://unobtanium.uno/ 
Total supply   250,000.00

Looks to only be POW not POS or hybrid.

all POS coins have theoretical supply of infinity...
but in a very long time
to get to 100 million BLK, need to wait more 31 years
i'm not sure if i will live that long

Thanks ROKOS, I've been waiting on this Pi 3 support for BlackCoin, I put a tweet out for you as well. Just got the .img burned to my SD and going to give it a try.

This took me about 1 1/2 hrs. maybe less (I wasn't really timing it) to totally set up while I was doing other things such as alerting peeps on IRC and Twitter that this had been released, the setup is virtually dummy proof once you get the user options for the OS setup. Thanks again ROKOS!

ROKOS v5 "flavors" Screen Shots

"ROKOS" Initial Setup

1.- Download and Burn the ROKOS Image to a micro SD Card like you would with any other Pi Distro.
March 01 2016
ROKOS v5 "flavors" - DOWNLOAD

Steps for first boot

*Raspberry Pi 2:
User: pi / Password: raspberry , follow normal setup.

a) Type: sudo raspi-config
b) Set your Time Zone, change your pi user password and Expand the file system, restart.
After restart the system you can type:  "startx"   to start the user desktop.
c) System ready for use.

Welcome to the ROKOS Desktop

Final steps / BTC and OK Clients

a) Go to Menu > Internet and Click on your favorite Cryptocurrency Wallet

This will open the Cryptocurrency wallet and start sync.

*For some Cryptocurrencies the initial sync might take some days, wallets are fully usable after being fully Synchronized.

b) Always remember to make constant backups of your wallets and save them in USB or external media.

Use your wallets in ROKOS to plug HW and mine, Send/Receive, Stake, Share,
become a full node and support your favorite Cryptocurrency network, develop new applications,
etc, the limit is only in your imagination.


Important Security Notice:
*) Remember to create a backup for your Wallets, you can use the wallets to create them and save in different folders on a USB device.
You should ALWAYS have a backup of your wallet, Raspberry Pi Hardware, Raspbian and ROKOS Software are under development hence not responsible for missuses, electrical or compatibility issues that might cause a loss of information. It is as secure as one's ability to take care for it, same as a computer, so always have a backup of your wallets on an external device.

*) Some people tend to recommend getting a 128Gb MicroSD HC (High speed) , at the same time it does work, I do not recommend this solution, as microSD cards tend to get corrupted by the number of overwrites, to ensure the best functionality and security you should use an external HDD/USB storage device to store the chains.

You can start testing and developing new integration with ROKOS and your favorite cryptocurrencies for your IoT projects.

"Empower yourself and build your own Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Fullnode Guide"

ROKOS Guide from zero! Full steps for New Users
by SwedishBitMiner

---Prepare the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card---

(I did this on a Windows computer, and I dont know what tool to use for Mac to install the iso file Image burner, for this guide you will have to figure out that yourself, if you use Mac)

1. Download and install SD Formatter 4.0 (This is the tool to format the SD card) from:
Windows: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/SDFormatterv4.zip
Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_mac/SDFormatter_4.00B.pkg
(or find it yourself at: https://sdcard.org/downloads)

2. Insert the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card into your PC/Mac. (You will probably need an MicroSD to SD adapter for this).

3. Start SD Formatter 4.0 and click the [Option] button. In there you change from "FORMAT TYPE: QUICK" to "FORMAT TYPE: (FULL)Erase", just leave the "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" in OFF and click the [OK] button so start the format. When the card is completely formatted click the [Exit] button to close SD Formatter.

4. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager (This is the iso file Image burner) from:
Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

5. Download ROKOS Core (rokos5.img.zip) and unzip the ISO file (This is the awesome ROKOS Core "Operating System" that we are going to install on the SD card) from:
Download: http://bit.ly/rokos5flavors
(or find it yourself at: http://rokos.space

6. Start Win32 Disk Imager, press the "little blue folder" and select the "rokos5.img" file that you did extract. Make sure your SD card is selected in the list to the right and press the [Write] button. It will tell you that it can corrupt the SD card, just press [Yes] to continue the installation, when the installation to the SD card is done press the [Exit] button to close Win32 Disk Imager.

7. Now "Safely remove" your SD card from the computer.

8. Put the MicroSD/MicroSDHC card in your Raspberry Pi 2, and make sure you got an USB Keyboard, Monitor (via HDMI), and and Internet cable connected to the Raspberry Pi 2 before you connect the power cable to your Raspberry Pi 2.

---Installing ROKOS ---
(The first boot of ROKOS )

1. Type:

Code:

(and press enter) Then select:

Code:

I2. Change Timezone

(Choose your timezone)

6. Type:

Code:

startx

(and press enter) your system will now start up and you are DONE!

ENJOY THIS AWESOME OPERATING SYSTEM!

If you read my posts above, you'll see that ROKOS Magic Flavors v6 with BlackCoin and Pi 3 support has been launched and I replied to their release posting here, but now it has mysteriously disappeared. I'm linking to the v5 post because the setup directions are the same, however, they've got a new web site where you'll find the v6 located at: http://rokos.space/index.html I found this extremely easy to set up and after about 10-11 hrs. of syncing I'm over 500k blocks in.

[crysx]

just for your information - and hopefully refernce as well ...

rokos 6 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1084908 ...

hope that helped with the location of the new rokos ...

sounds about right, i'm starting to feel exchange wallets staking makes it more difficult for the rest of us under PoS3 :\  My wallet shows 3 hours estimated for staking but can take a over day before a stake hits, then other days i might 3 or 4, then 1.   

Would be nice if BLK combined inputs as well instead of always splitting, or if there is an option to prevent splits after staking?

[smaxz]

yes! i have noticed this as well. miner estimates are far too optimistic in qt wallet.

Exchanges don't stake under POS3 ;P
A static reward leads to a decreasing inflation rate and a decreasing reward rate.

Let's prove it

if they would we would see 1.5 BLK being added to their addresses
like for example here
https://bitinfocharts.com/blackcoin/address/BLk8em3bmcn7RgJWwhyY3xAwALrw8v8VMb

so let's have a look have a look for example at btc38
http://www.btc38.com/trade_en.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=blk
here you can see their addresses
http://www.btc38.com/trade/reserves_en.html
http://imgur.com/EVhfGiF

when you look at them no 1.5 anywhere..

How much does staking earn?

[Mick666]

How much does staking earn?

5%
per year

[smaxz]

How much does staking earn?

5%
per year

according to qt wallets estimate. in reality, a fraction of that. in my experience anyway
