What is my incentive to run your network node if there is no mining?

How big is the base of your code now? How many code lines? Can you compare Bitcoin or Ethereum to yourself?

[mipo5]

Can you discuss your consensus protocol more, please? How does it work precisely?

What is my incentive to run your network node if there is no mining?

We have hosting bonuses and taxes. You try to run a node and you will see what happens.

However, Zold is not designed to attract miners. It is expected to be "hosted" by its regular users.

Is there a time estimation when Windows can host nodes? I kinda want to do that soon as possible.

Not yet, unfortunately.

We are planning to have this ability in the near future, though.

Do you have a list of software developers that work with the project?

Yes, sure, check this out: https://github.com/zold-io/zold/graphs/contributors

How does blockchain achieve decentralization? We are doing the same, but in a more light-weight way.

Most likely, you don't understand how Blockchain works and begins. Can you imagine a Blockchain YOUNG without centralization? It will be ruined by a simple 51% attack in a few hours.

So, what's the decentralization point? Simply create a different PayPal:)

The dynamics of the crypto project you don't understand. And look at Yegor video: httpd://bllog.zold.io/2018/12/27/masters-and-edges.html And see this Yegor video? v=7Lr14FFhwE6M

What if somebody creates a lot of empty wallets? Will your nodes always have to master them? How do you handle redundant information?

Are there any books on programming and cryptocurrencies which you would like to recommend to read?

I don't know. If anyone knows, please post them here.

You might find this book interesting: https://[Suspicious link removed]/2H2sVzJ I read it a few months ago and found it interesting.

Antony Lewis can also check 'Bitcoins and Blockchains Basics' (here on Amazon: https://[Suspicious link removed]/31yjUpT)

Thanks, will check this one out...

And what’s the maximum of nodes your system can support? What does it depend on?

We are aiming at hundreds of thousands or even millions.

How can you expect a million devices to run the software project? What sort of insanity is it?

Why isn't that? Bitcoin now has 10,000 nodes and nearly 3 million mining hardware modules.

Where did you get the 3,000,000 number?

Just calculate and divide the current hash rate by a single ASIC average speed. https://www.coindesk.com/bitmain-by-the-numbers-an-inside-look-at-a-bitcoin-mining-empire

Do you have step-by-step instructions on how to run your node? It's not like blockchain huh?

[erqin]

How did you get listed at the AlterDice.com platform?

Can I exchange my ZLD coins to Bitcoins? If yes, where?
