[ANN] [2GIVE] / POS+POW HYBRID CHAIN W/5% STAKING AND BLOCK CAPTURE REWARDS

[TheLittleDuke]

See top of thread for a picture of the new Clean Water Coin wallet that we recently built on Mac OS X (a related project)

[TheLittleDuke]

Soliciting feedback on the idea of moving the TXFEE to be based on a percentage vs the flat/fixed fee model as employed in just about every other coin.

What do you think?

[TheLittleDuke]

*UPDATED*

We just successfully built and did a send from a Windows-7 Qt version of the wallet!

This means our development lab at Strength in Numbers Foundation is fully operational!

give me you coins?lol,how can I get this givecoin?

We are looking for people to help us verify that the Windows 7/8 wallet is on-par with the last public release:

When it fires up and sync's post your Receive address here and I will send you 100 coins to verify that it works -- yours to keep!

We sometimes have issues with Cloudflare -- let me see if I can post it somewhere else like drop box

Note: This release was built in our lab and we need to know that it is equivalent to the last public release the original Givecoin team produced.

Once we know we have the stable platform we will begin immediately working on shifting this code base to POS from POW.

Its good new wallet ,im watching this coin

Thanks for the feedback!

Once we're 100% satisfied that we have a stable base and can reliably and repeatably produce high quality software from our new lab at Strength in Numbers Foundation we will begin working to migrate to the new 2.0 feature set:

+ Proof of Stake with a TBD interest rate
+ A percentage based TXFEE that makes smaller transactions more fair
+ A new modern wallet that will include a dynamic list of charities pulled from the doabitofgood.com directory

More as we finish the roadmap!

* THIS IS THE PRIMARY REASON WE HAVE ASKED BITTREX TO DISABLE TRADING *

It's obvious to anyone who watches the block explorer that someone is exploiting the KGW function in Givecoin

http://explorer.givecoin.info/chain/GiveCoin

They hit it HARD and pop blocks left and right, sometimes multiples in the same second -- and when the difficulty jumps up -- they leave us all holding the bag.

THIS IS BEING ADDRESSED IN 2GIVE

The Proof of Staking will help somewhat, but fundamentally the block emit time needs to be dynamic.

We are proposing that a new system be implemented to leverage a MINIMUM inter-block time that will need to be +/- one minute from target -- unless the block contains actual non POS transactions in which case the block should be immediately confirmed and rewarded.

Other ideas in addition to checkpoints include simply rejecting solutions from any node that has solved the last 3-5 blocks to prevent a 51% attack.

new wallet synced to latest block

new wallet synced to latest block  

FANTASTIC!  Thank you so much for helping confirm that we have achieved a new stable build environment!

We have one last job to do with getting the Mac OS X Qt app to bundle up for distribution and then we will shift gears towards migrating to POS, fixing KGW and the GUI changes ala Clean Water Coin style.

I'm optimistic that we'll have the Mac OS X issue wrapped up in a day or so.

The Strength in Numbers Foundation development lab is starting to get busy!  We just took delivery of our 64bit iMac on Friday and are preparing the build system now (32-bit on the left, 64-bit on the right)

[TheLittleDuke]

Found a couple of AWESOME resources to help with the Mac OS X deployment bundle:

First a shout to to hyperlogic for this

And to Chris for pointing us to:

"The good news is, as of this very moment, we have never been closer" ;-)

I hesitate to run a survey here since I'm told that the BTT implementation might be broken...

But I would like to know if there is an interest in having the Strength in Numbers Foundation team build and certify a Linux Qt wallet in addition to the Windows and Mac OS X wallets.

[TheLittleDuke]

We have just finished building a portable / installable Mac OS X Givecoin 1.0 Wallet!

http://bit.ly/Wv2jgD

Download the Givecoin-Qt.dmg.zip and then simply drag-n-drop the Givecoin-Qt app into the Applications folder link that will appear.

I have personally tested this on:

 +  Mac OS X 10.6.8 (32-bit build workstation)
 +  Mac OS X 10.7.5 (64-bit build workstartion) and my
 +  Mac OS X 10.9.4 (64-bit laptop) aka "Mavericks"

and it appears to work!

Let me know if you have any problems??

What do you think about working to have GIVE be merge-minable with KARMA ?

[TheLittleDuke]

Well the last 12 hours have been interesting...

The whole KARMA community seems to be a huge knife-fight at the moment!

I had thought that offering an opportunity to re-align the coinbases together might benefit both, however there is so much in-fighting going on within the KARMA community that its probably best to just slowly get up and back away from the table...

* RFC : Request For Comment *

We are exploring shifting away from the broken and currently exploited KGW emit function in favor of the Digishield implementation.
