Novacash (NOVA)

Novacash (NOVA) is digital cash. Its main purpose is to support Creative Commons currently. Novacash offers a Creative Commons sharing platform. In the current version only photos are supported. Artists post photos that are licensed under Creatitve Commons, which are reviewed and accepted by curators. Artists and curators are rewarded with NOVA coins. With the earned NOVA coins, users can obtain photos from other artists.

Novacash provides a fully-decentralized payments solution. Payments are fast, easy, secure, and with near-zero fees. Technically Novacash is a MIT licensed, open source, decentralized blockchain-based cryptocurrency.

https://www.novabit.cash/

The Novacash Ecosystem consists of the following components:

Core Wallet

Novacash Core Wallet is the official Novacash full node client. With the Novacash Core Wallet you can send and receive NOVA coins. If you’re running a Novacash Core Wallet, then you have the option to stake your coins and receive staking rewards.


Light Wallet

The lightweight wallet does not download the complete blockchain. Instead, it signs transactions locally on the device, and sends the signed transaction to supernodes for publishing to the network. Lightweight nodes are easy to maintain and run.


Gallery (Creative Commons Sharing Platform)

Novacash offers a Creative Commons sharing platform called "Gallery". In the current version only photos are supported. Artists post photos that are licensed under Creatitve Commons, which are reviewed and accepted by curators. Artists and curators are rewarded with NOVA coins. With the earned NOVA coins, users can obtain photos from other artists.


Masternode

Masternodes are nodes running the same wallet software on the same blockchain to provide extra services to the network. These services include instant transactions with SwiftX for example. For providing such services, you (the masternode owners) are also paid a certain portion of reward for each block. This can serve as a passive income for you over the lifetime of the masternode.


Supernode

Supernodes are high performance blockchain nodes which form the backbone of the Novacash blockchain network. Accounts with 5,000,000 or more NOVA coins can operate a supernode, either from a local computer or from a cloud-hosted server. Supernodes are required to be up and running 24 hours per day, processing all transactions. Supernodes are designed to provide advanced services like acting as paying gateways for light wallets, governing storage nodes etc.


Storage Node

Storage nodes provide disk space for storing Creative Commons artworks etc. Storage node operators receive regular payment for the services they provide to the network.

I'm quite interested in setting up a storage node. The website says things are being reworked. Any timeline for when new storage node's will be allowed?

Our Supernode and Storage Node infrastructures are currently under heavy rework. Supernode v2 and Storage Node v2 stable releases are expected end of Q2. At this time we're looking for many new Storage Node providers.

Do you think you don't need to disclose the people behind this project to make this project more credible? Or you will just build your platform according to the roadmap and show to the community that you can deliver your objectives?

For sure option 2. Nevertheless we plan to introduce the development team in a future website update. We just went to the public with this project. First, let's see how the project is received by the community.

IPTC ERROR?

IPTC ERROR?
contribute

Did you run into a problem with Novacash Gallery related to IPTC handling? Please provide some additional information.

What happens technically:
When loading a photo for the upload, Novacash Gallery tries to read out some IPTC values to fill title, description and key words automatically. Did the error occur at this time?
When transmitting the photo to the network, Novacash Gallery copies the photo to a temporary folder (not to temper the original file), and write some IPTC values. Did the error occur at this time?

Please send the photo to support@novabit.cash, and will have a look.

wow very interesting, is there any airdrop or translation bounty?

wow very interesting, is there any airdrop or translation bounty?

We're preparing a marketing airdrop. More information will be published the next days.

The easiest way to earn some NOVA coins currently is to submit a few high quality photos to the community. Download the Novacash Core Wallet and the Novacash Gallery applications from our website. With the Novacash Gallery application you can submit photos. For every accepted photo you earn 1 NOVA. As soon as you have a few NOVA coins in your wallet, you can start staking, and earn more NOVA coins.

Very interesting project. Although based on PIVX (which makes sense, it doesn't make much sense to start a new blockchain from scratch, too risky), it is shipped with additional software and features. Very refreshing. I will follow the project.

Thank you very much! Yes, we try to add value 


SUNSET IN KIEW

We tested our software extensively. Analyzing today's photo uploads we found an issue though:

The person who uploaded "Sunset in Kiew" on 01-Apr-2020 12:09:57 was not recorded properly. There seemed to be a problem in transferring the Novacash Address from the Core Wallet to the Gallery Application. Because of that the person did not get a reward.

We would very much appreciate if you could report at support@novabit.cash. This way we can try to fix the issue, and the person who uploaded the photo gets paid.

Thank you very much!


New version Novacash Gallery Application 1.0.1 available
Minor fixes

The new version can be downloaded from:

AIRDROP

One of our purpose is to support Creative Commons. Novacash offers a Creative Commons sharing platform. In the current version only photos are supported. Artists post photos that are licensed under Creatitve Commons, which are reviewed and accepted by curators. Artists and curators are rewarded with NOVA coins. With the earned NOVA coins, users can obtain photos from other artists. We also plan to be listed on exchanges very soon.

Until 30-Apr-2020 you will earn 5 NOVAs instead of 1 NOVA when uploading photos to our Creative Commons sharing platform called Gallery. 1 NOVA is paid immediately after a curator has accepted your photo. 4 NOVAs per uploaded and accepted photo will be paid on 01-May-2020.

Thank you very much for replying. We assigned the same Novacash address you used for the second upload to your first upload manually. You should now be paid for the first upload as well. Again, thank you very much. In the latest version 1.0.1 we would detect the issue and display a dialog.

News version downloaded, but when pressing wallet info in gallery app always having this err, bur able to download imeges to galery.

There seems to be no connection from the Novacash Gallery application to the Novacash Core Wallet. Novacash Gallery always need to be connected to the Novacash Core Wallet.

I see three options:
1) Your Novacash Core Wallet is not running
2) Your Novacash Core Wallet is not in server mode
3) Your Novacash Gallery application is not properly configured

For point 2) and 3) please refer to the Novacash Gallery User Manual:
https://www.novabit.cash/pages/7522.html
(1. Precoditions/Preparation)
If you change the configuration, please restart the Novacash Gallery application

I assume in the status bar (footer) of the Novacash Gallery application you see: NOT connected to Novacash Core Wallet
Right?

Hhm, that's tricky … It's working very well in our testing environments ...

What's written in the status bar (footer) of the Novacash Gallery application? "NOT connected to Novacash Core Wallet" not "Cnnected to Novacash Core Wallet?

Some additional thoughts:
- If you change the configuration either in Novacash Gallery or Novacash Core Wallet, you need to restart the applications
- The RPC username and the RPC password must be identical in the Novacash Gallery and Novacash Core Wallet configuration file (but I assume you already checked this)

NEXT STEPS:
I'm going to implement some diagnose functions into Novacash Gallery to check connections to the Novacash Core Wallet. I hope this way we can localize the problem. Give me a few hours to do this. I'll let you know once a new version is available.

Thank you very much in supporting us to fix the problem. We'll send you some reward coins :-)

I've prepared a new version with a Core Wallet diagnose tool. I will include the diagnose tool into the official version later after successful tests. The version can be downloaded here:
https://www.novabit.cash/downloads/novacash-gallery-win64-diagnose.zip
You seem to work with Windows, so I've prepared a Win64 version.

To open the diagnose tool, press [Ctrl]+[d]. You should see the following screen:



You find a drop down box called "Command List". In the list you find 3 commands the Novacash Core Application is using to request data from the Core Wallet.

"getbalance":
Used to check connection to the Core Wallet, and ask for balance. Since you can connect to the Core Wallet I would assume you get a proper response when executing the command.

"getaccountaddress":
Used to retrieve the Novacash address to receive rewards (photo upload, curate photos). Since this works for you as well, I would assume you get a proper response, too.

"getinfo":
Used to display the Wallet Information. This does not work in your case. Either we get an error here when executing then command. That would give me some hints. If we get a proper response then the error occurs in parsing of the response. If you send me the response I can fix the issue.

Could you execute all 3 commands, and send me reponses? Either on this channel, or via support@novabit.cash.

I hope we can localize the problem now.

Thank you very much! (some coins are on the way …)
