ASK ! The Cash of Knowledge

The DAG Based Blockchain System And The Coin To Exchange Knowledge With Value

Web Site • Blog • Twitter • GitHub • Slack • White Paper (EN) • White Paper (CN)

Introduction

The AskCoin system is a blockchain infrastructure designed specially for the knowledge sharing platforms. It works with existing Q&A platforms like zhihu.com, stackoverflow.com and quora.com etc. We consider a common decentralized blockchain platform for all these websites (we call them Apps) is necessary. It’s a user-motivated way for people to provide valuable answers which would be rewarded by an independent cryptocurrency. The author can now exchange his/her knowledge with value much faster, easier and more transparent by using the platform-independent token which can be used anywhere in the AskCoin ecosystem.

Essentially, every App in the ecosystem is an AskCoin wallet. You can ask and answer questions, make the payment, and transfer tokens. We will implement a default mobile wallet (for both Android and IOS) and with an internal exchange market in it.

The whole ecosystem looks like this:

The Desgin

Askcoin uses the ed25519 elliptic curve cryptography instead of the secp256k1 which is used by the Bitcoin and the Ethereum. Askcoin address encoding is a derived version of Bech32 address encoding which is introduced by BIP173

AskCoin uses DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) based technology, different from traditional blockchain technology, such as BitCoin and Ethereum. We believe DAG offers many advantages in the user cases where AskCoin aims to address. Before AskCoin there are IOTA and Byteball projects which are famous for their DAG techniques. The AskCoin team learned a lot from the Byteball project and will implement the same mechanism as MainChain which was fristly introduced in the Byteball project.

AskCoin will not fork from any current existing projects. Instead, we will try to build the system from scratch by using the JAVA programming language.

AskCoin will implement an internal exchange market. The user can exchange ASK with BTC and ETH directly from the mobile wallets. The system will become a sidechain of both the Bitcoin and the Ethereum.  AskCoin network will act as a sidechain of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Money supply/Initial distribution

The system will have an internal token called ASKCOIN (ASK for short). The token will be used to pay the transaction fee and make the payment to a person who answered the question. The token can be used with the same value in different APPs that integrates the AskCoin blockchain. That is to say, the coin earned in app1 can also be used in app2. They are the same coins.The initial supply for the coin is 1,000,000,000 ASK. The entire token supply will never change and no more token will be generated. The coins will be created in the genesis block(transaction) and will be distributed to ICO participants accordingly.

Can you provide proof for 1600BTC when pre-ICO?
And you have not specified the date for this coin ICO, I hope you do it as soon as possible

[shafi alam]

WoW i Think this coin Have A good Idea,  Ask Q&A make money by this application,  For Knowledge Gather Man will be interested With it for making Money.

[CORNEL]

https://www.bitbill.com/askcoinico

That site is in Chinese where to find the English version to understand what are term and conditions. People from other part of the world are eligible to take part into this ICO or not. When you launched that pre-ICO still nothing about that.

[supershadow]

do you think this could ever work with a site like google?

[bro_bro]

Is there any bounty in this project if any i am very excited to write something on blog. thank so much.

Sure, We will issue you some ASK coins for the writing.

[xugzr272186]

what is the advantage of this knowledge platform?
add Blockchain technology looks not any thing,
maybe it's not a scam,
but I want say that you needn't ICO!

You can find more information from the link: https://askcoin.org/en/
Recently the Pre-ICO & ICO are only for Chinese people even though we'd like to make it an international project.

The registration for the AskCoin foundation is ongoing. We will provide more proof about what we have done officially soon.

Will this take exchcange listing problem  ?Like MGO use erc223 can't be listed in bittrex erc20.

dev write undetermined
so still not yet decision use ERC20 or ERC23

[zxbball]

Popularity is insufficient, I come top stick , askcoin is the first based DAG tecnolage in china , it will be more pololar past time go, the askcoin 's price will fly to da moon

[FaucetKING]

Hey , It looks like you forgot some infos :
The price of the AskCoin , How much will the value of 1 coin be ?
What exchangers we can use in order to buy & sell the coins ?
How fastest is the blockchain transfers ?
ETC...

[zxbball]

askcoin is based DAG tech that is very potential , Highly concurrent  low fee it make dectralized exchange easy to reallazation,  no delay more comfortable for echanger!

[Battousai]

I'm new to this. What does it mean if askcoin will not be forked from any existing project but it will be a side chain of both BitCoin and Ethereum?

[QQ6693606]

no news is a good news!

[mrquackquack]

is there a wallet download anywhere?
