[ANN] Giant (GIC) | MN+PoS | Blockchain & Smart Contracts

[GiantUser]

Considering the importance of the upcoming vote the first phase of which will be held on Discord, we are raising the reliability of masternode owner status verification. This solves several problems at once. You can read more about this in a detailed verification guide. We would like to remind that the submission of proposals for voting will end January 14 and the first phase (Discord voting) will last for 10 days. Only masternode owners who verified their role as told in this guide will be able to participate. This is why we are introducing a temporary Discord role that will allow to vote while all of the owners of the obsolete MN-owner role will keep access to the masternode owners chat until January 31.

Luckily, all the procedure takes no less than 5 minutes, you can leave the rest to our automated blockchain-based digital signature solutions! We hope that by reading this guide, you will also learn more about the unique opportunities provided by cryptography.

Please carefully read this guide for more information:

It’s no secret that some other cryptocurrency projects have started to borrow our best practices such as a private chat for MN owners – this was our innovation introduced to the masternode market back in August 2018. Now we are once again introducing a new standard based on advanced technologies. Let’s raise the Giant Community quality to the next level together!

From Discord ANNOUNCMENT !

The Discord server is one of the primary means of communication for the Giant project. It plays a major role for many people to start using Giant. Sadly, this same channel can be used for malicious activities. On several occasions, some users deliberately tried to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to provoke a panic sell and buy cheap coins. Although we are open to any kinds of discussion, we cannot ignore such efforts and put new community members at risk. This becomes even more important in the light of the recent community growth throughout the last month.

:shield: This is what brought us to the following decision: if the user demonstrates aggressive behavior in the chat, ignores all of the counterarguments and never tones down, it leads to a FUD role – a prohibition to post messages in all chats on our server. This isolation is a good alternative to banning, as we don’t want to deprive this toxic user of the project info source altogether.

:gic: And now let’s switch to good news. The yesterday update of verification of the masternode owner role has caused a wave of user activity and at the moment, over 30 users have acquired the digitally-signed role. It will allow them to take part in the upcoming vote. @Bruttagente has made the verification process as stable and fast as possible. As a reminder, you can verify your masternode owner status with a digital signature to take part in the future voting with the help of this guide:

:gear: @htw has completed the launch of Giant masternodes on the IPv6 server and proposed several additions to our guide to ease the process. Thanks to him, @mani and @ballz41 who helped him to figure this out. The updated guide is available by this link:

Quite possibly, everyone knows about the so-called Fake Stake attacks.
Our developers took some time to research the problem independently and without resorting to quick copy-pasting of GitHub commits made by other projects.
The Giant user funds are secure for the following reasons:
- The authors have studied PoS 3.0 while Giant operates under PoS 2.0
- This attack cannot perform double spending as a result

Now you can track the development process in #github channel on Discord.
This is especially important considering how we don’t want to distract the devs with a parade of inquiries on their hard work.
Commits are broadcasted from three main product repositories:
 - GiantCore
 - Giantjs
 - Giant.Exchange

My plans for tomorrow include a joint call with Blockfolio CEO Edward Moncada on the addition of Giant to their platform.
It is the world's most popular Bitcoin and cryptocurrency portfolio management app. If you are using this app, please tell about your experience.

Don't forget that quite soon users that have not updated their MN role will lose the access to the private Discord channel.
Please follow these steps. It won't take more than 5 minutes.

You can check several GitHub commits collectively made by Ablai and Denis. It has been added to the Giant.Exchange votes archive.

https://github.com/GiantPay/GiantExchange/pull/20

Ablai is currently making the platform back-end side (Graphql and Node.js) while also reviewing the updates made by Denis.
The Giant.Exchange (GEX) community voting is one of the most underestimated features of the binary options platform: every new underlying asset or data source can be put on vote. This will result in GEX having only what the end user needs! Another important aspect of GEX changeable by the vote is the distribution of dividends.

This is how the archive currently looks:

We would like to tell about a good strategic advantage of Giant Contracts that will seriously contribute to all future dApps security.

It's no secret that smart contracts made on new programming languages have mistakes often missed by their original creators. One of the most illustrative examples is Solidity - this was recently pointed out by Duncan Coutts (Computer Science PhD) from Input Output Hong Kong, an independent team of experienced blockchain engineers.

As he says, the problem is that some programming languages have well-established practices of software creation, while others are still too young. Because of that, smart contract creators leave unfixed errors which can lead to DAO hacks.
JavaScript developer Alexei Bokarev who’s responsible for delivering of Giant Contracts joins this discussion and tells that the programming language itself is very rarely to blame for security vulnerabilities - ultimately, it's still about the people responsible for code writing and about their skills.

The future smart contracts system on the Giant blockchain will have less chances to become compromised because of a human error by the decentralized apps creators: all of such contracts will be written on a language that is widely-known and researched by the large coding community - JavaScript. This is how we seek to make Giant Contracts available for the widespread use. This will also ensure that every Giant smart contract is a job well done.

I was curious about why Giant chose JS. Now it's very apparent. Smart.

[GiantUser]

Good news for everyone who's interested in Giant Contracts progress!

GiantJS developer Alexei Bokarev has made it possible to calculate the exact sum needed for the Giant contract deployment and WP methods execution fees. This also means that the system is already able to show the budget you need to work with smart contracts (for now, only with dummy ones).

However, we're yet to finish this work with fees for all possible methods execution. The so-called WP methods are only a limited range of commands one can use with Giant Contracts. The fees calculation for other methods will be finished faster because now our devs have a working basic structure.

The main advantage of our fees calculation mechanism is the ability of the system to determine the real contribution a chosen smart contract is doing to the blockchain and dApps. This is different to some popular projects where the fees' value is calculated by looking at the amount of symbols in a contract. This is a primitive approach, as theoretically there can be smart contracts which have less symbols than usual ones but play a more important role in the system.

Other notable recent breakthroughs include smart contracts payments to multiple wallets at the same time. The wallet info display is now complete as well. You can see all the progress for yourself here, in our corresponding GitHub repo:

A quick heads-up for everyone interested in the most recent Giant news.

Giant CEO Dmitry Filinberg is currently attending TeamLead Conf 2019 in Moscow, Russia. This event is made exclusively for Team Leads to exchange experience and find together what it means to be a good administrator.

For instance, one lecture will be dedicated to the topic of responsibilities delegation by Skyeng.
Another one is directly connected with the way how we work — Team Lead Soft Skills Scrum Style by Orange Training Group.
And while Dmitry is gaining valuable insights, we continue our job to bring you a secure cutting-edge smart contracts system.

You can always suggest.

Another recent event: Giant Coin (GIC) is now accepted as a payment method by HumanAction.io — a libertarian online apparel shop.
After visiting it, you may soon find yourself drinking coffee from a cup with Ludwig von Mizes while wearing a T-shirt with Rothbard or Hayek.
Giant founders fully support the concept of a free digital market without any state borders.

It is that you team devs have a discord, many projects for some reason are limited to telegram.
But like to know whether there will be new exchanges for trade? Those that are have now clearly not the best.
And what are your immediate plans in the roadmap? The deadlines have shifted slightly, but I think this is currently the most important thing for investors.

Just saw the screenshot of the platform, I can't wait to use this! Great work team!!
