Nexus - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come

[merc84]

Hello Nexus community,

Quick update.  We do have a new GPU miner in development thanks to the hard work and dedication of Videlicet and Wolf0.  We are also working to have a wallet update with some new features in the wallet for ease-of-use.  There will also be some updates to the protocol, specifically the trust key expiration.  Here's what we are working on:

1) Nexus Wiki - we are working to establish a wiki to have a central repository for protocol information.  This is the main project for the marketing team alongside updating social media on daily basis.

2) GPU miner testing

3) Core updates and wallet update testing

4) Recycler - our next big project will be the recycler and creating a recycler node that will allow people to start recycling worthless cryptocurrencies.  We want to get a working system that utilizes a recycler node we will setup.  We will then decide a cryptocurrency to test the recycler with.   

While Nexus is a very large project we are currently working on focusing our efforts together in specific areas of development to bring about the most economic gains for the project.  This will also include our active effort to get a BTC/NIRO market open on Poloniex by December.

Cheers,

Nexus Dev Team

I'd like to offer to test gpu miner in beta phase, I have experience running beta test for yvg1900 and amd 280x, 7950 and nvidia gtx 970 at my disposal for testing.

Thanks for the info.

Looking forward to the overdue wallet update.

Regarding Poloniex, great news.  Are you referring to December 2015 or 2016?

Please do not forget the Nvidia miners.  I too would be happy to help with testing, if required, I have some 750ti's, 970,s and a few 280x's.

Recyclers sound fun, looking forward to seeing how this part of the project develops.

i've imported a key into a fully synced wallet and it's reporting 0 balance.
repairwallet didnt help

does -reindex or -rescan work ?
or should i just try again from scratch :p

[pineapples]

I guess I am level 2 & 3, maybe a 5 too.  Mined over a million coins between Oct 2014 and April 2015, sold some to cover electric, sold more on the highs before buying back in during the lows, also holding a bag of 500k+.

I've made a few suggestions, helped with testnet, made plenty of snow/mist/rain in IRC (until killerjoe arrived!!), otherwise I keep myself to myself.

heheh lol at killerjoe arrived ..

BARR has already put into work shitcoin recycling.

Niro is really late.

BARR needs human intervention to function.  I think Viz has something a little more advanced planned.

Might want to read their OP, they are about reducing altcoin supply to increase their values, much different. Our recyclers are mainly going to act as another distribution point, the ideas have evolved substantially since their inception. We will post a formal update soon.

Thank You,

That's actually a different method than we are proposing, but it is an interesting one that I have suggested before.  I think it's a good concept and complement our work.  In fact, we might be able to help with the decentralized nature of that project in the future  

Blockchain merging will be for coins with ultra-low security or network stability issues that communities would like to be grafted into the Nexus network to preserve the blockchain history... or even upgrading older networks to more secure and better technology.

I would like to say thumbs up to BARR for taking initiative, given the ultra-low overhead of managing the BARR asset on NXT, it might be a good place to start.

Yes the download has failed twice. I'm restoring from a backup made when nPos kicked off, I hope I don't lose my interest rate.
After resyncing backup I have 0 balance...

I will be very upset if my trust key expires 

I was annoyed when my trust key expired, so annoyed I have not staked Niro since.

We are still waiting for the overdue wallet update that was promised months ago.........

Hope u get your wallet sorted merc84

Good news, glad to hear you are safe

Choosing 3 days for expiration, rather than 21. It's a balance of security and also usability. Anyone disagree?

Sounds good to me.
