[ANN] [XSL] Solo - A secure, private, censorship resistant cryptocurrency

[Solo-Project]

Solo (XSL) is a scalability and privacy focused cryptocurrency which concentrates on being ASIC, GPU and NiceHash resistant while scaling better on low to mid range CPUs than most CN PoW variants.  The proof-of-work function guarantees egalitarian voting, so that none of the participants can utilize special purpose devices to obtain an excessive voting advantage.

* PoW algorithm: CN-IO
* Protocols: RingCT, CryptoNote, LWMA, Full Bulletproofs, SECOR
* Max supply: ~18.4 Billion before tail emission
* Block reward: Adaptive (see below)
* Block time: 20 seconds
* Difficulty: Re-targets at every block
* Genesis block:  11/2/2018, 8:00:54 AM UTC
* Premine: 70368.744177663 (see below)
* Version: v1.1.0.5 'Carbonite'


Block Reward
Adaptive Reward based on historical data - emission formula slightly decreases block reward each block as a function of all coinbase transaction amounts previously generated. Reward for blocks 1-88,000 based on a speed factor per minute of 22, resulting in a reward ranging from 549.755797504 to 548.315910839. Reward for blocks 88,001 and greater based on a speed factor per minute of 25, resulting in a reward starting at 4,386.527155990 at block 88,001. See the latest block coinbase transaction amount for the current block reward.  Solo's emission schedule is slower than bitcoin and does not include disruptive halving events.

Funding
All current infrastructure costs have been paid out of personal funds, with no ICO and no crowd funding.

Premine and Early Contributions
Solo is a continuation of a side project started by NERVA developer angrywasp and included a pre-mine of ~70,368, representing 0.00038% of the total supply. At block 66001 a hard fork was activated, after this time the founder no longer participated in development. At the time of the fork ~36,318,207 coins had been minted representing ~0.196% of the total supply.

Mining
--mining-threads=0 will attempt to autodetect the correct # of threads to mine with, this is a good baseline but you can also try setting +1 CPU thread per CPU thread, and even try higher to see if hashrate increases.  If you GPU mine another coin you may need to leave an additional thread to be sure to not bottleneck your GPUs.

Example .bat for Windows:
solod.exe --start-mining {address} --mining-threads 0

Example .sh for Linux:
./solod --start-mining {address} --mining-threads 0

Join us in the discord, a loose collective of about 30 of us have been hashing away and getting the chain stable. The first 88,000 blocks had a reduced reward. https://discord.gg/K62KCcm

the eyecatcher for me was" poolresistant cryptocurrency" , though , a few more info in OP?

as i see , not very attractive for newbies but you have my attention

[TheLoser]

Very little information about the coin and the team . Perhaps this is something very promising, but the team keeps everything secret .

This is a fair assessment right now. If you have any ideas to help us become more new miner friendly let us know in the discord. https://discord.gg/K62KCcm

sorry?but how to open wallet-cli??win 10)

[RTMoney]

its an executable, after you have solod running you can open solo-wallet-cli.exe. Only a command line wallet available at this time, visual/web/mobile wallets are on the near term road map.

not sure what would cause that but you can sync the whole blockchain in solod without bootstrapping.

Yes it also means the competition would be high against powerful CPU.

We need more than luck to hit a block with a normal i5 CPU I am mining using i5 in the last 12 hours but no Luck i decided to stop. burning my CPU is not worth it

Not sure how old your i5 is and how many cores it has, but my 2 year old laptop with a dual core i7 gets ~1.9kH/s, with the network at ~700kH/s that is enough for about 4 blocks a day.
