Are there any exchange listing plans?

Also, since Neptune is a Turing-complete smart contract platform, on top of being private money, it's possible to build cross-chain atomic swaps to both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

No. We think the market handles that.

How to mine??? Is the mainnet open now?

Yes. It's open.

How to mine?

Something like this:

Code:
neptune-core --network main --peers [2a02:21b4:b885:3f00:75cd:122a:b92:1dbe]:9798 --guess

Hi all!

I'm happy to announce a launch date for a project that I've been working on (together with others) for almost four years now: Neptune Cash https://neptune.cash/

...


We're a bit delayed. Probably not more than a few hours. Main net will be released on `master` on https://github.com/Neptune-Crypto/neptune-core/ and be called version 0.1.0. Binaries will be available shortly after. Don't run main net yet, as your Genesis block will disagree with what we launch in a few hours.

If you launch without premine I will invest significant amount of my resources into buying the coin.
The price would do better without the premine. Take this into account.

I understand the sentiment. However, this project has been in development for almost four years, and we've paid salaries. Without those salaries this wouldn't have been possible. The money for those salaries have come from selling premine tokens. See https://talk.neptune.cash/post/1/11 for my thoughts on this.

Hi all!

I'm happy to announce a launch date for a project that I've been working on (together with others) for almost four years now: Neptune Cash https://neptune.cash/

TL;DR
  • new layer 1
  • post-quantum secure
  • anonymous
  • client-side proving with zk-STARKs; blockchain verifies
  • proof-of-work
  • fixed supply limit (42.000.000 coins) because of halvings every 3 years
  • small premine (< 1.98% of supply limit)

Unless we observe substantial problems between now and then, the launch date is set to noon (UTC) tomorrow, 2025-02-11.

15 years ago, a revolution to free the world from the bonds of fiat currency began!

Thank you to everyone who helped push that agenda forward, and especially to Satoshi Nakamoto who selflessly spawned this beacon of hope that Bitcoin is for millions of people around the world.

If BTC/USD finishes above 40,000 for this week, that would mark the 4th in history that eight weekly candles in a row are formed.

This happened during the 2nd bull market of 2013 which took Bitcoin from 50 USD to 1200 USD.


I happened in the end of 2015 which marked the transition from Bitcoin's bear market to the 2016-2017 bull market, the bull market that took Bitcoin from 200 USD to 20,00.


And last time it happened was in the above-mentioned 2016-2017 bull market when Bitcoin crossed the ATH price reached in December 2013. The following six month, Bitcoin went from 3,000 USD to 20,000 USD.


So two out of three times, eight candles have been followed by exponential bull markets. And one time it has marked the peak of a bull market.

The bitcoin price is crazy af  Shocked and there is no sign of correction.  Shocked

8 Weeks Streak  Shocked



If we close above 40.000 on midnight this Sunday, we'll have eight green weekly candles in a row. That has only happened a few times in history. All of which have been followed by exponential rallys.

Reuploading the pictures of Faysal with the Bitcoin logo on the South Pole since earlier pictures are no longer available. Not sure how to make the pictures available on this forum though.

Re: Mutator Sets: new approach to Decentralized Scalable Privacy

If anyone here that's interested in privacy and scalability has time to watch this talk or read the paper, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about this approach.


Co-author here. I believe Peter Todd suggested to include an MMR of the UTXO set in the Bitcoin block header. This data structure does something very similar but adds privacy by cryptographically hiding the link between removals and additions to the mutator set.

Comparing Bitcoin to the Euro and other fiat currencies
by
Sword Smith
on 03/11/2016, 17:11:52 UTC


I recently held a presentation for the European Movement in Finland comparing the qualities of Bitcoin to the Euro and other fiat currencies. As many of you know there are six to seven characteristics (depending on whom you ask) that a succesful currency must have. I discuss that and also take about how Bitcoin can return the political system that we had in Western Europe in the beginning of the 20th century.

Let me hear what you think Smiley

Quote from: Faysal Hanneche
Hello to all of you, I’m from 11:00 p.m. (French time) at the South Pole. I was very well received and I have very good vibration. After a good meal and heat, I was invited to visit the US base Amudsen Scott and i also very well received. It’s cold, it falls below -30 ° C and I am very tired. I have a plane this morning for the base Union Glacier and afterwards another plane to Punta Arenas in Chile. Before going to bed, I went to the place where is the point indicating the South Pole to take some pictures with the flags of my partners who trusted me and I thank the form of the heart.

I also took the time to gather myself alone and remind myself the progress so far. My head is spinning a little to see the world but I do feel that the positive waves: it’s a good drunk. Friendship to all of you from the South Pole.

Pictures and more to come. Thank you to all who supported this effort!
