[ANN][XMY] Myriad | Multi-Algo, Fair, Secure

[neuroMode]

I was asked some good questions in the /r/cryptocurrency subreddit about my content creators advertisement for Myriadplatform.org. Just sharing with you my responses.

Why is this an opportunity for a writer?
It's an opportunity for anyone who has hung out with cryptocurrencies for a while and has felt the desire to get more involved but isn't sure how or where. They can have all the experience in the world or no experience at all, and it isn't limited to writing. It's any type of content and any walk of life.

The ideology behind Myriadcoin started off at launch as simply "A coin for everyone" that has matured over the months into an underlying sense of duty to distribute coins to the rest of the world better than Bitcoin, Litecoin, or any mono-proof-of-work coin can or will. The framework of innovation is focused down this path and will yield incredible things that I think is worthy of discussion, whether it's ideological, academic, or born from use cases.

Have you worked out a monetization strategy yet?
Nothing specific, but there's plenty of ways to go about this. Right now we are just opening ourselves up as a platform that is anchored in Myriadcoin and its ideology. I mainly want to see what the landscape is like for people waiting/wanting to contribute, how we can work together, what ideas other people have for working together, the experiences others might bring to the table in terms of payments, advertising, and connections, and so on.

It's a very "open, decentralized" feel because there might be new methods of monetization that we can get creative with. Granted, hosting and running a content platform is something I'm completely new at, but I'm confident that the skills I have being the head Myriad community organizer will make it a seemless project.
I want a balance between structure and flexibility. I want those who contribute to bounce ideas off of me. I want to grow and learn with them while helping most where I can and should. Put the idea into form, release it out to the world, and let's build this together. Decentralization.

Do you have any revenue to speak of?
The revenue would come from my pocket and the community's pocket initially. We've paid for a lot of things already so this would not be a problem. However, if the content is good we may attract sponsors or advertisers--so it's sort of a chicken and egg issue that can be resolved by just letting things evolve naturally. The Let's Talk Bitcoin! crew already showed interest in networking with a Myriad podcast and content platform if we get them up and running. This could be utilized in some way as the platform grows and gains attention.

The faucet has been updated with a vanity deposit address:

MFaucetnVJa6K8tasMpRwu5nqKgWEUjNkQ

http://cryptap.us/myr/faucet

Note that the old deposit address will still work. I've also slowed the payout rate to 0.01% of the balance to slow the depletion. Feel free to drop some coins in if you feel generous.

What do you guys think of Bryce Weiner and his promised contributions?
I'm beginning to think he's just a pump and dump artist, but maybe he'll pull through with liberdade.

Things take time. PolyMYR takes time.

If Bryce is a pump and dumper then he is doing it wrong by going to public events and conferences. Twitter posts don't tell the whole story.

Quick and easy link for anyone to share with noobs: http://myriadplatform.org/myriadcoin-mining/

Explains how mining Myriad is different from Bitcoin and why it actually matters. Also included is the getting started guide put together mostly by materialdefender that I modified slightly.

Alright, so I left the node running all night with PERSIST set to true, and with the proper bootstrap addresses... But it still tells me that it's "downloading shares" when I try connecting my miner. I have a feeling that it's not downloading anything at all...

When I set PERSIST to false, I am able to have my own running node on my own p2pool network, but that's useless because I want to be connected with my peers.

I had this same problem when I was setting up a node for Kimocoin, but I had the person running the only node wipe the sharechain and then I was able to easily connect. I don't know if that's an option with the current circumstances, though. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! I've been sifting through code and googling my brains out, and it's hard to find anything...


I guess I'll leave it for now, and I'll go and get to work on reviving the Scrypt network. Later I will need a person who is willing to help out by testing the three Githubs that I will be forking (scrypt, groestl, sha) to make sure that other nodes will be able to connect to my node and work as a pool. Please PM me if interested. And if you can, it would be very helpful if you could leave a node up permanently (say if its the algo you mine on... 0% fees for you!); it would be a great help!

Looking forward to Ahmed/someone sorting out the Groestl problem. Why it's not downloading the sharechain is beyond me.

swap the bootstrap nodes with my pool url's

[rav3n_pl]

I`m not running scrypt MYR P2pool node, becuse noone mining on it for like month.
You can use my code https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav/tree/myria-scrypt
just add working scrypt nodes to bootstrap. First one have to be "persist=false" to start new share chain, another ones can be "persist=true" to be sure that they are connected to at least one node.

swap the bootstrap nodes with my pool url's

I have done this multiple times, with and without other nodes, and with/without having persist enabled. When I have persist enabled, all that happens is that it loads 0 shares, and ends up with 0 verified out of 2 total shares. Very frustrating... (Note: I wipe the data folder every time I switch between persist true/false)

Is the P2P port 8889?

Alright, I'll use your code to get the network up. Mind if I fork it to keep all the node source code for all algorithms in one easy place? (Actually, I should try to make one fork with all algorithms in it; under different networks like you have it. Just thought of that.)

after the next update people should start returning to mining scrypt as it will be much more fair with respect to adding 1000x hashingpower at once 1GHS to 1000GHS+ in scrypt via multipools..
 
  
* dynamic similar to digi-shield (diff moves up and down a little faster than currently),

* with decrease in coins minted  proportional to % difficulty increase on the same block. not the next one after.  (cumulative % decrease probably best way to go ie adding the -% per every block where difficulty increases until it lowers)

* + limit on # of blocks mined in a row (8bitcoders mention of 5).


im actually very concerned as im not sure this is and the reasons behind being understood as well as i once thought...

there is so more than multi-pools selling off coins at 10x faster rate than usual block time that is on the table here.

hopefully ive clarified it somewhat here, and this can be expanded upon / improved without my input.
..i think im going to make a reddit post to clarify this then it can continue on

Wow, my hashrate doubled after updating to the newest CCminer.  Is there a difference between the groestl algorithm and myriad-groestl algorithm? I want to setup a MYR-gr pool but don't know how to configure it. Please help

P2pool or traditional pool?

And can you give some stats on your hardware/hashrates? If it's really a huge jump it might justify me switching to groestl myself

And yes, the Myr-Groestl is a little different than the regular Groestl algorithm (Not exactly sure what makes them different though).

[xfelinho]

myr-groestl is groestl + sha256, groestl is groestl groestl
sha256  takes nearls no time, thats why myr-groestl hashrate is 2x groestl hashrate

keep in mind that the faster groestl alsi means higher power consumption

Hey all, I just wanted to introduce the official MyriadPlatform Fund Wallet that you now have the option to donate to.

There is no immediate or urgent need for funding. MyriadPlatform.org could exist just fine without it. Rather, this is something that I hope we could build together as a community and decide some creative ways to spend it well.

Donate at your leisure:

Hello everybody!

You probably noticed the advertising of the Myriadplatform.org fund.

I would like to open the floor up for discussions on what to do with the funds. It's much better to have community input than to think I personally know what's the best way to allocate the funds.

Let's be creative! GO!
