Idena is the first Proof-of-Person Blockchain

[othell_rogue]

Five days left for next Idena validation.
Do not wait last moments to create flips.
Make flips and update node/wallet early and be ready and synced for validation.

Also note that in next few days Hard-fork is expected:

Thanks for the heads-up mate!
I hope they will release the update (hardfork) in time, not 1-2 hours before the Sunday validation, like they used us with.

According to official announcement hard fork is planned for 14.05. I doubt it will be delayed 3 days until 17.05. They have never released hard fork 1-2 hours before validation...

Good to know the HF is on 14.05 I didn't know. Do you have a link to the announcement? Thanks!

Got my wallet updated to the latest fork, my wallet is running in a VPS after two days of not checking I got a penalty and I have to download the new node again, people should check from time to time, the VPS is getting our miner off without us knowing it, this is the second time it happens in two weeks and lost 8 IDENA in the process.

@idena_node_watcher_bot

Use this bot for telegram notifications about node status. It was created by @endogen for idena community and already saved me from penalty a dozen times.

/start
/watch 0x00000000000000000000000 (your address)

And it's done. You can set there also email and discord notifications.

Today is Idena validation day.
Be ready with updated and synced node.

[RoUnited]

Validation process in 2 hours and 10 minutes, please consider to join in discord if you need invitation code to join in the process. https://discord.gg/FGjCSAQ

[idena_invites]

I will give the invitation code only to responsible users. PM me.

i past two epoch, and have 12 from 12 flips, but did not get invitation that i could send to other people, and still i am a newbie, do you know when one gets verified, since there is an info in miner, you get verified when have 12 flips solved?

You need to pass 3 validations in a row to be verified member, but you can give invitations only if you have got score % in short session.
I think some data needs to be updated due to recent hard fork and changes.

It is 94.11% score before you can invite 2 people.

No wonder after I passed the validation I checked the contact page to see if I can give an invite code and have seen I have none, I barely pass the validation, but there are many changes in the validation, I wonder if it is profitable to host your node in VPS seeing that the rewards in mining is not at it used to be back when we are just starting out.

(51 840 * 0,5 / 2026 * 0,12$) * 30 - 5$ (per VPS per month) = 41$ monthly profit (and up to 140$ from flips, invitations, validations) - So My answer to your question "I wonder if it is profitable to host your node in VPS" is - hell yea it is.

And where is volume for all?Don't lie and say true.Where is your diagram about network growth this time?

Where is your psychiatrist? Don't lie and say true.
Did your take your pills today? Don't lie and say true.

How is it possible that your brain generated the causal sequence in which I am obliged to upload reports on network grow no later than 24 hours after validation?

Speaking of which:



2329 nodes and ~1% grow. Not bad considering no hype-generating news recently and price drop to 1000 sat. Looks like every chart needs to cool down sometimes (just like between 24-29 epoch)

Other thing is that to have 20 000 nodes we need at least 0.5$ per DNA (or real use case that will make people stay) and few medium-size listings might be necessary but only when network grow is slowing down. It isn't now.

When listing will be necessary for network Andrew will be ready:

When are you going to start with listing Idena on bigger exchanges with more volume?
We are in contact with some bigger exchanges that could be interested and are ready to support our project. Any inputs from the community would be helpful here.
Can you tell us the names of exchanges in contact which could possibly list DNA?
Some of them are Tier 1, we cannot disclose the information now.

Now it's a good time for medium size exchange listing considering dynamics of network grow but progress in sharding development is also a key here:

We estimate the limit at about 8–10k nodes. Further network growth will require sharding.

The best thing is not to feed the trolls, I add them to ignore and forget.

As for the growth of the network, i try to slow it down as much as possible. We are still in testnet phase and the development is progressing a lot but it is better to do it with a 3k node network than 10k node.
I don't give out invitations anymore, so we earn more coins hahaha

Yeah I would agree.
Idena had unexpected fast growth, so we can expect more swings with number of people and nodes.
Also clear guides is needed for what is minimum requirements for people to run Idena (RAM, CPU, Internet speed, etc...)

Yeah I guess it still is, invitations now is useless in my end I already send 5 the last time to my friends but since they are very new to this concept they all did not pass but I kept giving them  , we are growing now I have seen the many telegram channels for Idena, definitely, one of the biggest project this 2020, could hit $5 or more in the future.
