Roadmap

Phase 1: Forum Web-site Sources on GitHub

Phase 2: Android wallet iOS wallet Web wallet

Phase 3: Standalone payment gateway Ascension marketplace Crowdfunding platform Cloud staking

Our goals

We had the opportunity to takeover Ascension. Like written above in the roadmap, we plan right now to make Ascension an usefull crypto to the people. We don't want to make a currency that has just the ability to be exchanged for BTC on an exchange, we want to return at the root of the money, with a crypto that as a REAL use. Isn't the the main utility of a currency to buy things with? That's why we'll work on massive adoption by merchants and stores. We want that this crypto is benefit to this community and for this we'll release a lot of services backed by Ascension such as a crowdfunding platform, an ebay-like site all backed by the anonymity and the safeness. After that Ascension is well-established, we'll work on masternodes, which will be implented just after the ebay-like site release. Together we'll ascend again!

Details

Name: Ascension (ASN) Algorithm: QuBit (in order: luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo) Target block time: 120 second block time Proof: PoW + PoS Hybrid Duration: PoW Ends at Block 8500 (7 days mining) Note: block 1 contains 225,000 premine, blocks 2 to 100 are empty and used for the 2 checkpoints to secure the blockchain. PoW Block Reward: 101 - 8500 = Reward is equal to previous block number Total PoW period coins: ~18,366,434.32052889 PoS initiation: Block 50 (it runs concurrent with PoW) Mininum PoS stake age: 12 hours min coin stake age PoS block reward: 20% Annual Interest on Staked coins Pre-mine: 1.22 % of estimated total coin Max Clock Drift: 1 hours + or - TCP port Main: Main: 6225  RPC: 6224 TCP port Testnet: Main: 16225  RPC:16224

SAMPLE CONF:         rpcuser=yourusername         rpcpassword=yourpassword         rpcallowip=yourip         rpcport=6224         daemon=1         server=1         listen=1         addnode=seed1.ascensioncoin.org         addnode=seed2.ascensioncoin.org         addnode=seed3.ascensioncoin.org

The first 86 blocks were mined prior to launch. Block 1 contained the pre-mine. Blocks 2 through 86 were empty blocks. A checkpoint was set to secure the network. The first block after this post will be block 87.

Seed-nodes are hard-coded into the wallet. Add-nodes in the conf file are not required.

Ascension wallet

The new Ascension wallet BETA is here! You can download it from the links at the top of this post. It contains a few new features that will be elaborated on below. In short, it now has a block explorer inside the wallet itself, has in-wallet encrypted messaging (which we call AscendChat), and contains coin-join mixing technology (which we call AscendSend). Without further ado, on to the details:

AscendChat

AscendChat is encrypted in-wallet chat. You simply click on messages and then select the address you want to chat from, and the address you want to chat to. Enter your message and click send. Then click OK. Your message is now sent. You can now chat back and forth, securely, with anyone you wish.

AscendSend

AscendSend is essentially the coin-join feature with an ASN tweak or two. The nodes have been set up with 5001ASN on each for mixing purposes. This is required in order for it to mix coins properly. The current limit on AscendSend is 5000ASN per transaction. This may be increased in the near future, but for now, don't send over 5000ASN in one transaction. This process requires a specific order of actions to achieve the desired result of sending through the coin-mixer.

How:
 1. Create a new wallet address and label it 'mixer'
 2. Send the amount of coins you want to send to your new 'mixer' address
 3. Wait for ~25 confirmations to pass.
 4. Enable coin control from the advanced features options in the wallet. Check how many coins are located in the wallet called mixer and how many confirmations have passed for the mixer address balance.
 5. Go to the send coins page in the wallet.
 6. Enter the destination address.
 7. Enter the amount of coins you want to mix (To a maximum limit of 5000)
 8. Select the 'sendanon' checkbox
 9. Press send and wait for a short amount of time for the notification to return. You will see a smaller amount in the notification due to the process splitting up the TX in to smaller amounts.
 10. The mixers will now process the smaller TX then send into the block chain to the destination address.

Bounties

Current pre-mine coins aren't for our personal use. They're for the benefit of the coin, to be used for bounties to acquire needed features and services for Ascension. We've begun utilizing the pre-mine for exactly that. The available bounties are as follows:

Promotion running now
Free ASN: first 10 people who post their ASN wallet addresses in this thread will get 100 ASN for free.
1 paid, 9 more to go

Promotional art/graphics - 4000ASN
Paper wallet generator - 5000ASN
Gambling/dice - 5000ASN
Web wallet - 20000ASN
Twitter tipbot - 30000ASN
Mobile wallet - 50000ASN (Android, IOS, Windows)

Please DON'T do the work for any of these bounties until you PM us and get our approval. We don't want you to do all that hard work if someone has already staked a claim to it. The finished product must function properly to be paid the bounty. (this includes translations NOT being google translate) If you believe you can add something worthy of a bounty that isn't listed here, please PM us or post it on the thread.

Ascension Coin V3 is an alternative blockchain for Ascension coin V1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=984878.0).
Original developer abandoned the projects shortly after the start and gave all info (including premine) to second developer - Ascension Coin V2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016182.0).
After V2 handover, the project slowly died. And there are no peers for V2 anymore, it is not possible to sync.
This is the 3rd attempt of running Ascension Coin, hopefully it will succeed this time, especially with your help.

Version 3 uses original blockchain from AscensionCoin until block 20,000 (Sat, 04 Apr 2015 05:30:33 GMT) before original developer gave up and transferred pre-mine funds.
After that block, it splits from V2 chain. And so block 20,001 (Tue, 06 Nov 2018 22:16:47 GMT) is different from V2 block.

If you participated in original Ascension Coin V1 mining in 2015, then please sync your old ASN wallets and start staking in V3.
If you purchased ASN after original handover (Ascension V2), then this AscensionCoin V3 is not for you. This blockchain will not support your coins.

!!!warning!!! Do NOT use yobit. Yobit is using Ascension V2 currently. It is incompatible with Ascension V3. Situation with exchanges will be looked into with high priority.

!!!warning!!! Ascension V2 wallets will not work properly with V3 blockchain. Please use either V1 or V3 wallets if you are interested in this project.

If you are interested in helping the project please PM dev directly or post in the forum.
You can also donate ASN to AW1tWkV2zZb2BeGkyvxV9jGMKahmqKceeX (http://explorer.ascensioncoin.org:3001/address/AW1tWkV2zZb2BeGkyvxV9jGMKahmqKceeX).
These funds will be used for coin promotion.

If you have some suggestions on how to promote this coin and what features to implement, please post in this forum or PM the developer.

PS: I contacted original Ascension coin developer and then second developer via PM, however did not receive any replies yet.

Hi dev,

Thanks for taking on this project. It's a pity it did not succeed before. Hopefully, it will work this time!

I'm happy to help with some technical aspects, if necessary. Just PM me when needed.

I think we need to PM all users from original V1 thread, most will probably still have their ASN wallets ready for staking.

Just my two cents...

[AscensionCoin]

Hi conteaza, thanks for joining.
More updates will come soon.

[AscensionCoin]

Hi all!

OP updated. Some info is still not entirely up to date, it'll be polished soon.

Thanks

[AscensionCoin]

We received our first donation of 71,000 ASN. Thank you for your support!

[AscensionCoin]

Great project, looking forward  a pleasant cooperation, we want to list you coin on our exchange it is free. A great start, search MXshine! or  marketing@mxshine.com

Hello!

Thank you for the offer, that would be really great.

I'll PM you with details.

Have a good day!

Interesting project. Perhaps we can partner with them or at least we could post a Raspberry Pi guide how to stake your ASN...

Another option is writing a guide for vultr / digitalocean hosting staking.

Some crypto projects have cloud staking.

Just throwing ideas...

Great!

But I got this error in Ubuntu 18.04:

Code:

./ascension-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libqrencode.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Had to do this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qrencode

And now it works.

Hello, the project team!I would very much like to know more information about you and the project, you provide little information that would interest investors and make the project memorable. While you do not have a bounty program, do you plan to do it in the future?
