[ANN][PIRATE CHAIN](ARRR) A zk-SNARKS only blockchain, secured by dPoW

[boomboom]

This is fantastic project!  When exchange? 

Yes, PIRATE is a fantastic project, afaik komodo team is working on details for how centralised exchanges could list a coin like this with only anon z transactions by default. Some technical things to work out, but hopefully soon we can trade this wonderful addition to crypto privacy, fungible digital cash!

Can someone explain why centralized exchanges (eg binance/bittrex) will not list a only anon z transaction coin like this?

Some exchanges want to kyc devs now to list coins, or at least have a real person to deal with from the dev team. Also, with PIRATE the problem might be how to track down lost payments for support tickets, with anon z only transactions the exchange will need to factor in other ways to track deposits and withdrawals, they can't use a block explorer,  or payment Id's like monero. It's possible, they just need to be motivated to do the work, PIRATE isn't a regular  plug n play crypto, that's why it's so promising!

we can use open source cex

Make sure your address is in the list! Airdrop will happen soon.

Arrrr! All aboard! I'm in!
Get ready, Monero! PIRATE is coming!

PIRATE is the best of Zcash combined with the best of Monero. It’s a forced Shielded-transactions (z-transactions) only blockchain, meant for completely anonymous transactions. PIRATE is mined into a transparent address, but can only go into a shielded address from there. PIRATE is an independent blockchain built using Komodo Platform technology which is privacy transactions only blockchain. PIRATE is feature complete for what it does, there is no need for any more PIRATE core improvements.

The only risk for PIRATE is that another similar z only asset chain gets launched that dilutes the value going into this super private anon coin for komodo ecosystem. Normally this is a huge problem in crypto i.e. there is no digital scarcity when the cost of cloning is effectively zero, so new comers prefer a  cheaper alternative to the expensive original, so we see litecoin and doge etc etc  

 As PIRATE is based around the existing komodo community though, i think there is much less risk of PIRATE clones diluting the value of the original inside the kmd ecosystem , and any PIRATE clones will appear in the ecosystems of komodo clones, which makes sense!

I think komodo will have only one PIRATE!

Can you elaborate on what you're saying please?

[evelyn69]

This really is the best of 2 worlds: forced anonymity like Monero has, but with the mixing set of all past and future z-transactions on this PIRATE chain.

You want anonymity? Become a PIRATE, arrr

I checked my z_address today, I don't received my PIRATE coins.
So I think airdrop didn't happened.
Did anyone get it?

Testing is being done on a notarized pirate chain

I want to know, just for interest and understanding.
Flexatron, are you the one of PIRATE team ? dev, support ?

No, just a fan/miner

Latest News/Update

ALL PIRATE users and miners MUST update your Komodo to latest code as soon as possible (before PIRATE block 77777)

Notarization of private chain worked! http://prt.explorer.dexstats.info/tx/a88b8d34d669549879a095cbf3a83ce5af1d9226c123c18c54178b20f793c4e0
PIRATE can now dPoW :tada:



another ntrz http://prt.explorer.dexstats.info/tx/d6d60117dba4878c87d857cbc8a83d035e87076de93e48d4c674b32f6001cbaf

A test assetchain was created to test if private only assetchain does delayed Proof of Work notarisation as per the new code changes done by jl777, and the tests are successful.

PIRATE notarisation pushed to be added in KMD Notary Nodes.

Hope to have PIRATE blockchain secured with BTC hashrate via KMD soon.

That means PIRATE would be the only single blockchain in industry which will be absolutely private and still BTC equivalent secure to 51% attacks.

Also halving rewards time is updated by 5x.
That means the total supply will be different now, as well as the time of halving will be in months.

This is how it will look like now:

Total supply will be aprox: 199,109,119.99420500

Halving aprox every :
270.0590278 days
8.872575862 months

Total supply will reach in aprox 25.89607116 yrs
By Year 2043+

[oblox]

So 5x the supply, 5x the reward schedule, adjusted halving, and taddrs exist for notaries, correct? No longer zaddr only?
