Re: [ANN] NeuCoin - Easy to use, free to try, focused on micropayments - Official
Kourosh says,
"The reason behind this is that we arrived at the same conclusions than BlackCoin on our own (especially concerning the modification of the stake modifier). It's only after we had decided to have it "floating" that I actually realized this was one of the modifications BlackCoin had made in its previous update."
So the "floating stake modifier" (which Blackcoin already did at least 6-12 months ago) is their big innovation.
(I don't think it really counts as an innovation if someone else did it prior.)
And if the Neucoin team never heard about it before as they claim, how big of an innovation is
it really? Why wasn't there a clamouring celebration in the crypto community when Blackcoin
first published this "innovation"?
I'll tell you why.
Because its really just another method of choosing who gets to forge the next block.
How's is it fundamentally any different from, say, Nxt's generation signature parameter?
Doesn't that also solve any precomputation issues? Isn't it basically the same thing?
Certainly it doesn't "stop all attack vectors" as the basic stake grinding is still
possible even if precomputations aren't.
Guess we'll have to wait till Torrgeek/Dart comfirm/deny this is the innovation.
on the same lines, why cant Torrgeek/dart remember this innovation?
