Jumbucks Decred Stake Pool update. First of many pool pay outs sent out!

The Jumbucks Decred Stake Pool, despite launching later than the other pools is currently the 2nd ranked in terms of number of Live tickets.

Today marks an important milestone as it was the first of many pool pay outs.

The Jumbucks Decred Stake Pool refunds 2% of pool fees by paying you back in Jumbucks. If you do not add a Jumbucks address, your refund will be forfeited and applied to the overall pool fees.

Collected fees will be periodically calculated and refunds will be processed by selling Decred and buying Jumbucks on the open exchange markets. Refunds will then be sent out over the Jumbucks network.

8.317 DCR was sent and sold on Bittrex.  This amount represents 243 Votes.

The 8.317 DCR was sold for 0.02168031 BTC and then 282.62035056 JBS was bought with that BTC.

Below is the reaction of some happy stakers!

Jumbucks Decred Stake Pool officially open!

Hi all,

If you have been following the altcoin markets lately, then you are probably aware of Decred [$DCR]; a new hybrid proof of work/proof of stake coin which uses a unique method of ticket purchasing to payout staking rewards in a lottery-type system. $DCR staking revolves around some really impressive multisig cold staking innovations, which allow individuals to securely stake their coins without having their computer on 24/7. This is accomplished through the official Decred stake pools. There will only be a maximum of 10 Decred stake pools, and I am excited to announce that I and @cryptokrill are in charge of one of these official pools.
 
Most of the other Decred stake pools charge a 5 - 7.5% fee for the tickets, which go towards the pool devs and paying server fees for backup voting servers. For the stake pool under our care, we have reworked the traditional fee structure in a way that benefits $JBS holders and grows the Jumbucks community.
 
While our stake pool publically has an 8% fee, it breaks down in the following manner: 4% will be allocated for pool maintenance and server costs (currently 1 web server and 3 geo-located staking servers), 2% will be allocated to a Jumbucks development fund, and 2% will go towards $JBS marketbuys. These $JBS marketbuys will then be rewarded back to the stake pool users periodically.
 
This will make the Jumbucks Community Pool competitive in fees, and the cheapest in terms of straight pool maintenance and sever costs. Furthermore, the overall structure will strengthen the Jumbucks ecosystem through stimulated market activity, rewards to users, and the opportunity to bring new cryptocurrency enthusiasts into the Jumbucks community.
 
As a reminder, 2% of the pool fees will be refunded in $JBS, straight to your Jumbucks wallet. Users who do not enter a Jumbucks address will forfeit their refunds, and the 2% will be applied to the overall pool maintenance fund.
 
Despite launching later than the other Decred staking pools, our pool is already ranked 2nd in terms of live tickets! If you have $DCR and would like to take advantage of its innovative proof of stake system, or if you have $JBS and want to increase your stash, check out http://dcrstakepool.getjumbucks.com and start staking today!
 
Happy DCR staking!

Thanks,
Julian

Jumbucks Ethereum Edition Testnet introduction

Something I have mentioned is the long term goal of moving to a more active codebase.  This was always the plan and I've mentioned Decred and Ethereum as the best candidates.  Having used Ethereum more in the recent months, I'm leaning heavily towards Ethereum.

The overall goal has been for Jumbucks to be what I call an "Independent chain" as opposed to being a token running on another platform (such as a NXT asset) or protocol which runs on top of Bitcoin.

The current shitcoin PoS code base sucks, etc….  Writing any distributed apps on the shitcoin codebase will always be difficult as the limiting factor is only being able to utilize the OP_RETURN or custom OP codes which are cumbersome to code and likely require hard forks to implement.

Moving to an Ethereum codebase/fork has many advantages.  Myself and Xocel are primarily application developers.  The applications will underpin the value of the Jumbucks blockchain.  Having our own blockchain allows us to make a suite of Dapps which can interact with each other.  Smart contracts don't need to be large monolithic code chunks which has led to issues such as The DAO hack.

Please join us in the #jumbucks channel in Slack to help us test out Jumbucks Ethereum Edition Testnet which is up and running right now... For short, we can call this Jumbucks EE.

In terms of the coin swap process, this will probably involve grabbing a snapshot using a block parser (I have made the necessary code changes for this a while back https://github.com/znort987/blockparser/commit/eb67030e2e01a454da8cc12e750cdfef82ee22dc) of all the Jumbucks addresses.  A claim process which involves signing addresses with the necessary private key for a JBS address can then be performed.  This claim process can start very early where a Jumbucks EE address is reserved and confirmed associated with the signing process.  Something cool is that the Jumbucks EE Genesis block can then be defined and pre-populated with claimed addresses and corresponding balances.

Theoretically we could launch Jumbucks EE tomorrow but that defeats the purpose.  There are also some minor changes/tweaks to the Ethereum codebase which I'd like to put in too which we can test in the Jumbucks EE Testnet.  Expect things to change and for the chain to be wiped away during this Jumbucks EE Testnet testing/evaluating/learning/tweaking phase a few times.

I'd like to have as many people in the Jumbucks community familiar with running Jumbucks EE via the console so that we have a pool of people able to assist and also utilizing these smart contracts and distributed applications.


Jumbucks Ethereum Edition Testnet - Instructions

Download the lastest version (I am using 1.4.10) of Geth for your platform.

Code:

https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases

Create a Data Directory. This is so we don't use the default data directory used for Ethereum:

Code:

$ mkdir ~/JumbucksTestnet

Get a copy of the Jumbucks Testnet Genesis block:

Code:

http://getjumbucks.com/download/JumbucksTestnetGenesis.json

Get a copy of the boot nodes:

Code:

http://getjumbucks.com/download/static-nodes.json

Save both files to the Data Directory

Initialize the Data Directory with the Genesis Block:

Code:

$ geth --datadir ~/JumbucksTestnet init ~/JumbucksTestnet/JumbucksTestnetGenesis.json
I0730 23:44:10.031012 ethdb/database.go:82] Alloted 16MB cache and 16 file handles to /home/julian/JumbucksTestnet/chaindata
I0730 23:44:10.046579 cmd/geth/main.go:299] successfully wrote genesis block and/or chain rule set: 868d13655a2c47b4b7dd280e4c928870f208d3074875d41c1b6e771a311cbd7f

Start the console and connect to my boot node:

Code:

$ geth --datadir ~/JumbucksTestnet console

Verify you have my boot node as a peer:

Code:

> admin.peers

Add peer manually:

Code:

> admin.addPeer("enode://13e07d637d170fdf1f87edd3d671c1417acb856045c1920c4c0bca1d9c19be2a846af891d2c92a677cbf66b61586426c7fff8f4247b6912d88a7dbb762e26288@107.191.104.192:30303");

Create a new account:

Code:

> personal.newAccount()

List your accounts:

Code:

> personal.listAccounts
["0x476fd3e95ed3a1e9e764987bff3230b08850fd4d", "0x163430250885b2607857a0f206d51e286543b831"]

Send me your account address for some Testnet coins. You can also try CPU mining.

[jyap]

I deployed the first smart contract on the Jumbucks EE Testnet last night. You can try it out by installing it.

Install and run an existing smart contract

Install contract:

Code:

var greeter2 = eth.contract([{constant:false,inputs:[],name:'kill',outputs:[],type:'function'},{constant:true,inputs:[],name:'greet',outputs:[{name:'',type:'string'}],type:'function'},{inputs:[{name:'_greeting',type:'string'}],type:'constructor'}]).at('0x454f42c9af7e88c2d66c13d069a35e34853f0b35');

Run contract:

Code:

greeter2.greet();

Here's the output tested by another user.



A couple of quick tips below.

Running on a separate console

On one screen:

Code:

geth --datadir ~/JumbucksTestnet

On another screen:

Code:

geth --datadir ~/JumbucksTestnet/ attach ipc:/Users/julian/JumbucksTestnet/geth.ipc 

Print all balances with a JavaScript function

Code:

function checkAllBalances() { 
var i =0; 
eth.accounts.forEach( function(e){
    console.log("  eth.accounts["+i+"]: " +  e + " \tbalance: " + web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(e), "ether") + " ether"); 
i++; 
})
}; 

Run it

Code:

> checkAllBalances();
  eth.accounts[0]: 0x476fd3e95ed3a1e9e764987bff3230b08850fd4d 	balance: 7590508.39832 ether
  eth.accounts[1]: 0x163430250885b2607857a0f206d51e286543b831 	balance: 10000.04651996 ether

Unlock and Send

Code:

> eth.accounts
["0x476fd3e95ed3a1e9e764987bff3230b08850fd4d", "0x163430250885b2607857a0f206d51e286543b831"]
> personal.unlockAccount("0x476fd3e95ed3a1e9e764987bff3230b08850fd4d")
Unlock account 0x476fd3e95ed3a1e9e764987bff3230b08850fd4d
> personal.unlockAccount("0x163430250885b2607857a0f206d51e286543b831")

Account 0 to Account 1

Code:

> eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.accounts[0], to:eth.accounts[1], value: web3.toWei(10000.05, "ether")})
I0730 23:50:43.863291 eth/api.go:1193] Tx(0xea8c9a97167d7e0e27c8c7cf2708d8143b70a0c24e5efc670c2ebcaf418d2a85) to: 0x163430250885b2607857a0f206d51e286543b831

Code:

> eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.accounts[0], to:"0x53f03391ec6cecdbe4715cfd5e8a1b22332c8784", value: web3.toWei(1000000.05, "ether")})

Jumbucks Ethereum Edition?
what?

okay i've read page 9, still fuzzy on this point:

- JBS is a very fine POS chain
- JBS EE is a cool idea
- can we have both?

i hope you favor a snap shot; 2 chains.

maybe require signing to claim the JBS EE, but no swap. 

[AngelLox]

Ask mining pools to support JBS EE.

I'll run a pool

Jumbucks Ethereum Edition - Alpha 1 released

This can be considered the first "pre-launch" release. We are still in a "Testnet phase" but changes are now in a dedicated Github repository.  Expect this network to have several changes before the actual launch. You can participate in Jumbucks Slack in the #jumbucks channel. Testing is going really well with many participants.

You no longer need to specify a Data directory when starting up the server.

I've uploaded and built the Windows binary for Jumbucks Ethereum Edition - Alpha 1. Right now I have my cross compile environment up and running so we'll be able to support basically any architecture such as ARM (Raspberry Pi).

Here are some changes we are discussing:

Coin swap with a higher coin count ratio

For example 1:10.  Right now Jumbucks has 3,602,462 JBS coins minted.  The proposal would then be to increase the coin count proportionally to 36 million (or a different multiple). Purely on a mathematical scale, this doesn't change a thing in that you still have a same percentage. What changes is perception and actual use of the coin. A higher coin count works out better for distribution as there are more "full units" to disburse.

A new name with newly associated paradigms

This would be worthwhile at this stage since we are also making core changes to the coin.

Feel free to post your suggestions in this thread. Something cool would be a coin name and paired with an associated name for the coin units, for example "Ethereum" and "Ethers" or "Factom" and "Factoids".

zkSNARKs in Ethereum

This was recently published: https://z.cash/blog/zksnarks-in-ethereum.html

Adding zkSNARKs in a JBS EE would require "extending the Ethereum contract language to efficiently support verification of zkSNARK proofs. Specifically, we added a snarkverify precompile (like an opcode) to a fork of Parity which uses libsnark to verify generic proofs." As this requires modifying the underlying client/server code, this is something we could support and would make our chain unique.

Parity client

This is another "nice to have" feature but would benefit smaller embedded systems a lot.

Parity is an alternative Ethereum client written in Rust which is generally a faster systems level language compared to Go (which is what Geth is written in). Overall, it should use less resources.

Parity is fairly recently released which is why less people use it... But yeah, Geth was an early client.

You can run Parity in "--geth" mode with no issues. It just exposes a compatible communications mechanism that Geth uses.

I've set up a test pool at 104.207.133.114
I invite anyone with a rig to try it out. If you have any problems, please join the slack and get in touch with me or in the #jumbucks channel.
Also, add the pool node if you can, it helps payment processing.
