Abstract: block_reward = log2(difficulty) * 2^40(difficulty)

Details:

Deflation is a very serious problem for all cryptocoins because it prevents them from being used as payment mean. For most coins block reward decreases in time and this increases deflation rate. For PPC-derived coins (PrimeCoin etc) the problem is even worse as soon as they offer difficulty-based block reward formula that makes block reward inversly proportional to difficulty (i.e. difficulty goes up and block reward goes down). I consider both practices to be counterproductive.

Moneta Verde is the first cryptocoin with blockreward increasing together with difficulty. Why this is a good idea?

1. Money supply goes up with difficulty increase. As soon as difficulty increase usually happens due to an increased demand this will lead to money supply being dependent on demand. This way MCN will has a slower deflation rate than other coins.

2. Instamine is now useless because block reward is close to zero on low difficulty blocks. This will give us a better coins distribution.

Block reward formula is a fixed point implementation of log2(difficulty). This means that block reward increases much slower than difficulty: for 1 coin to be added to block reward a difficulty must be increased twice. This rate looks to be reasonable.

More details:

- block target - 60 seconds
- CryptoNight PoW
- difficulty retarget every block
- merged mining with Monero, QuazarCoin, Bytecoin or any other CryptoNight-based coin
- total supply: infinite

Naming:

Moneta Verde (it) means "green coin": this coin uses already existing mining resources (MM) and it's supply is regulated by mining community.

Launch date:

June 17, 2014.

Setup instruction for Windows and Mac


1) Download MonetaVerde and BCN/MRO/QCN binaries.

2) Launch BCN/MRO/QCN daemon and wait till its synchronization.

3) Start MonetaVerde's daemon. The process is very similar to BCN/MRO/QCN's: launch command line, navigate to the right folder and launch monetaverded.exe .
Use "save" command after synchronization.

4)Create MCN's address. Again it is the same process as for BCN/MRO/QCN: open another instance of command line, navigate to MonetaVerde 's folder and generate new wallet with "simplewallet".

Code:

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345 

Here "example_wallet.bin" is the name of the wallet (use .bin file extension) and "12345" is the password for your new wallet.

5) One more command line is needed. Navigate to MonetaVerde 's folder and launch minerc.exe using the next command:

Code:

minerc --node1=127.0.0.1:8081 --node2=127.0.0.1:24081 --wallet1=%your BCN/MRO/QCN address% --wallet2=%your MCN address% 

--node1=127.0.0.1:8081 is IP and BCN's daemon port.

Use this IP and port for MRO:
--node1=127.0.0.1:18081 instead

And for QCN use this:
--node1=127.0.0.1:23081
--node2=127.0.0.1:24081 is IP and MCN's daemon port

6) PROFIT!

It might help to mention which algo you're using

[Shadow_Runner]

Again wallet with cmd interface?

[Cloudpost]

it looks like they plan to use cryptonight algo (bytecoins/monero)

BUT why do you use "green" as coin name? Do you know there is already a green coin - Vertcoin?

[cryptomidnight]

It might help to mention which algo you're using

Mining algo - CryptoNight (like Bytecoin and Monero).

Very interesting, can u give use more info? Btw nice coin name, are u Italian?

[platorin]

There's nothing new that this coin offers, moreover you lack many information.

Again wallet with cmd interface?

... and 8bit music on the back

[polz]

Need exchange to spirit this coin

- merged mining with Monero, QuazarCoin, Bytecoin or any other CryptoNight-based coin

The only problem with merged mining is that it may peg the two coin's price together since the supply would be linked. But on this stage price doesn't matter that much for these ones, I think merged mining is the prefect solution.

[xsmoffx]

ya'll guyz have real problems with naming you new coins. there was one bytecoin already and now we have the second one. we have already one greencoin and now this one 'means "green coin" '

c'mon wheres your imagination?

[xsmoffx]

There's nothing new that this coin offers, moreover you lack many information.

why? and what about ITALIAN NAME?

[unexecuted]

I too think there could be a place for merged mining in our future, but I don't see the advantages right now. A merge would not require Verde miners to participate on the other coins' block chain, and that seems like a dealbreaker to me. All of the proposed benefits for BCN, Monero etc. go right out the window without this - some Verde miners will might be on board with dogecoin but I feel that not all of them, and that's what really matters.

You'd be surprised how strong a motivating factor greed is. They can't afford to not also mine other coins. If people are doing it, the difficulty will go up. They would be stupid to stick to their guns. No one dislikes BCN or Monero that much to give up half the mining revenue.

A primary feature of Bitcoin is that a payer can prove via the blockchain that a payment was sent. With all this CryptoNote shit ring signatures, how can I prove that I sent you Verde or Monero or Bytecoin or what in the event of a dispute?

[professorXY]

Btw nice coin name, are u Italian?

What's nice in repeating already existing coin names in different languages. Btw how "green" this coin really is?

Something similar was raised for BCN as well. I'd say one practical way to overcome this is through additional avenues of trust between yourself and the party you're sending to. I can see the full anonymous coins like DRK and BCN work best when they are transacted in person, so both parties can verify each other and walk away. Someone also raised the possibility of using darksend to send to a new wallet, then transact without darksend and do the same in reverse on the other side. Not sure whether this could apply for Verde as well.

I hope cryptonight knowledge proofs can come in handy here.
