[ANN] APTUM - EVERYBODY’S CRYPTO | White Paper released

[ClashProject]

I voted. But whatever majority vote for, is a good indication what people want.

Could you explain a little bit more what these mean? Or be specific as to what the large, medium, and small mean in terms of actual numbers and digits. Like, is it 1B, 1M, and 10M or 100M ...

Currently the base reward per block is being debated. It may be 1'000'000 coins (large), 1'000 coins (medium) or 1 coin (small) as a block reward.
With a target for the block time of about 15 seconds, we will have the following three emissions as possibilities:
When using the large supply, 2.19 trillion coins would be emitted every year.
When using the medium supply, 2.19 billion coins would be emitted every year.
When using the small supply, 2.19 million coins would be emitted every year.
Since the number of atomic units will stay the same, the question only is how many decimals to use. None for a large supply, 3 for a medium supply and 6 for a low supply.

Sorry, asked this in the wrong thread (bullion thread). Will this coin be a cryptonote? New coin? Or?

Unfortunately it will not be a cryptonote, no. Aptum is a completely new cryptocurrency written from scratch.

Ann in June, but, Ann will be edited on this place?
I will reserved.

That is correct, the announcement currently covers nothing but a roadmap for the first two years.
We are currently rewriting the list of innovations to be humanly readable.
Our plans are established internally but have to be reviewed and audited right now, to ensure that our partners agree with it. Additionally we are calculating everything once again so that we don't overshoot our budget nor undershoot our targets.
As you've already noticed, all this information will be made public during this month. Stay tuned!

Was looking for website but then I saw roadmap that your website will be launched this Aug.
And by the way, are you gonna disclose also your partners with this project?

Voted as well. But if I may suggest, don't create this project with huge amount of coins.

The current design is built to be as small and adaptable as possible, to allow for (global) adoption. Since protocols allowing anonymity (such as ring signatures, zk-SNARKS or Zerocoin) require more space on the blockchain, unfortunately we cant implement them right now.

A large supply is a necessity for a functioning economy. There is a reason all leading currencies have large supplies. For the general user, it's easier to use a currency that allows you to pay in whole units instead of thousandths of a whole unit. Additionally there is some psychological advantage of holding whole coins instead of fractions. Even if the whole coin is worth less, people still like it (better).

Your other question will be answered by elambert.

Yes, our partners will be disclosed.

Could you make a currency with a large supply but with only 2 decimal places? For example, 00000000000.00

I really like that idea Killiz. Everyone is used to using 2 decimal places.

[ClashProject]

Could you make a currency with a large supply but with only 2 decimal places? For example, 00000000000.00

I have to ask, do you mean two decimals with 10'000x the normal emission, so that instead of 2.2M coins per year (small supply) 22bln coins per year emitted. Or do you mean that two decimals with 1000x the emission and 10'000x the maximum supply?

[Killiz]

The upper number of coins is not important. Just that the last 2 digits are 100th of a full unit, like most currencies.

100 x mXYX = 1XYZ

Not like bitcoin which is:

10000000 x 1 satoshi = 1 bitcoin

For example bitcoin is 000000.00000000

My proposal is 000000000.00

Exactly!

Nobody wants to use fractions of a penny to buy things. No matter how much that penny can buy

I dont understand.
mXYZ is milli-XYZ -> thousandths.

I know what you mean by "using two digets - not three - not none - two".
The issue is that the emission in atomic units is set right now.
So we emit one million atomic units, and the question is - where to put the digets.
If you want to have two digets, we could either use the same design as before, and emit 10k coins - or we reduce it to 1k.
Reducing it to 1k would make us use a more beautiful number and have 10x smaller emission.
Staying at 10k would have an emission of 22 billion whole coins per year.

Ok then cXYZ

I'm not clever enough to comment on the emissions, but if I had the choice, I wouldn't want them to be pig ugly

Perfect! So you would recommend an emission of 1000 coins per block and the usage of two digets if I understand correctly?
My proposal would be the same thing, but three digets, to allow for higher accuracy (if needed).

Yes, 1000 sounds good. If it is possible to use 2 digits I'd go for that, as most are familiar with using currencies like this.
I'm unsure if there are any other cryptos that only use 2 decimals out there? Maybe Aptum would be the first.


I've just read the whitepaper. Very interesting and exciting proposal

It is possible to use two digits, yes - on the other hand - without changing much, other than adding another digit - we could also use three digits.
The most famous cryptocurreny I know that uses two digits is turtlecoin (#500 on coingecko).

Pro two digits: They would allow for a 10x higher (theoretical) maximum supply (184 trillion).
Con two digits (in contrast to 3): Since it would take already take over 9000 years to reach the supply, we don't need to make that 90'000 (assuming maximum emission).

Hello,
Do You have the bounty?

That depends, as of right now, there is no marketing campaign set up implying that there is no bounty right now.
However we will shortly, or more precise: within the next two months, release a website. With the release of that site the marketing can officially start, including possible bounties.

Other than that, there is only one thing that is fixed. A faucet that can be used to redeem funds. This will be similar to what Nano (previously RaiBlocks) did. See here: https://medium.com/@DecentRally/raiblocks-is-what-bitcoin-should-have-been-from-the-start-1d91c4c61d2d
This allows us to distribute coins fairly without giving them away for free.

Interesting article outlining the detriments (massive energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission) inherent with proof-of-work algorithms such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613658/bitcoin-mining-may-be-pumping-out-as-much-cosub2-sub-per-year-as-kansas-city/

This is one of the primary reasons we have selected proof-of-stake for the Aptum project. Additional to this, proof-of-stake as approached via our Pure-Proof-of-Stake implementation fosters network security and decentralization by rewarding only active participants with little financial barrier to entry.
