Kaspa Testnet 11 nearer and nearer to the hard fork...
by
jimboscott
on 31/12/2024, 16:20:01 UTC
The Kaspa Network ( kaspa.org ) has been running at 1 block per second without a hiccup for over three years.  Testnet 11 has been running for many months at 10 blocks per second.  Incremental improvements on this testnet have been implemented and while a date for the hard fork has yet to be announced the general consensus is it will be the first half of 2025.

Kaspa seems to still be a fairly little-known project since there are likely no more than about 150K people in the world who even OWN any Kaspa.  When the 10 blocks per second hard fork happens that should draw significant attention as it will surpass its OWN record of being the fastest POW coin in the world by a factor of TEN.

Kaspa was created by a team who have a rich background in crypto and have been cited in numerous white papers for their contribution to the overall crypto space.  It uses a unique BlockDAG structure that allows for blocks to be ordered even if they were presented to the network 'out of sequence' or in parallel. 

I think people are sleeping on Kaspa due to its initial meteoric rise in the first 2 years resulting a year 3 of essentially no price appreciation despite HEAVY developmental progress.

The 'graph inspector' for Testnet 11 can be viewed here in real time, running TEN blocks per second.   http://104.11.218.91:8080/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0dSFdlvHPrQxJg45-yPavzs6AuAJop9r_aNTd13kS-joVkkqLO1nbhexE_aem_Acd2dfwMMx009AbwHaNs6JHtgHVb_rE3Gwpw4a6MYcJGngG94OcPHduh2xxV2NIOZARvZ_mh5EDRU1yFv-zrgTSs

Re: NEW POW COIN "HALLO"

The second and most suspicious thing is and for sure here should be watching out everybody!
Run Miner:
./miner --wallet "TON-WALLET-SEED-HERE 24 WORD"


Why as it allways is for miner not put the wallet address in here ?
For mining tokens in the TON blockchain, a seed phrase is observed in the miner connection - this is a common practice. But there is a main rule: do not use the seed phrase of the your main wallet, create new wallets for mining.

Still makes zero sense.  NOBODY mines to a seed phrase.  You mine to a PUBLIC address.

If you mine to a SEED PHRASE then ANYONE with that same seed phrase will receive your mining rewards.  It does not matter if it is a new seed phrase or not.  If it is known to someone else then anyone who knows it OWNS THAT WALLET.

How can NVOLVE be the world's fastest crypto with a 90 second block time when KASPA has a 1 second block time and will soon have a 1/10 second block time?

I wrote about your coin in my telegram channel 10 days ago. Mining has been going on for almost 13 days. Have you just now decided to publish this coin on the forum?

thats weird!

Frankly, I am not sure when it became improper for someone to start a crypto project without announcing it here first.  Many projects start up with Discord or Telegram as the initial launch point.  I am not saying anything as to the validity of this or any other project, but there is no requirement for a legit project to make itself known here.

In fact, given the cesspool of scams and dead coins trying to be revived, this has even less relevance today as compared to just a few years ago.

The last good project I ran across in these pages was over 2 years ago - Kaspa - and they first posted here 17 days after launch, though the launch was made known elsewhere.

I would like to ask the locals here why do people jump always on new projects. There are plenty of good ones which are runing years unnoticed. And people would love these small projects.

Sadly, for every real project there are a hundred that are either scams, failed attempts to revive a dead projects or a vehicle designed only to inject malicious code.

And, for every REAL project that is good, there are a hundred that are mere forks with a different name and a different wannabe 'dev' whose goal is to make a few quick bucks.  My checklist before I will get involved in any significant way...

Last one I found was a little more than 2 years ago.  I happened upon Kaspa in this forum on 11/24/2021.

Re: ULX is founded on innovative technology that solves the blockchain trilemma.

POS projects are inherently biased towards centralization as the rich get richer.

That means the issue of decentralization is not maintained and the claim to have solved the trilemma is not supported by the basic architecture of the project.

PEPE is a TOKEN and NOT a Proof-of-Work coin.

This thread is a scam designed to lure the unsuspecting person into downloading and running malicious software under the guise of being a wallet.

Re: [ANN] RadiumX New PoW coin . No ICO. No Masternode

IS this the same RadiumX that has been announced over and over and over again, with a website that is perpetually down for maintenance (yet DNS servers cannot even resolve...) and with pools that 'launch today'?

I would be very very suspicious... very. 

Very.

Many red flags here.

Wallet 'does not run' (likely DOES what it intends to do... just not a wallet)
Wallet exe is way too big for a standard QT wallet and is surrounded by a bunch of .bin and .dll's that are suspicious as hell
Firefox does not want to download it (virus warning)
Website is not working
Supposedly launched 'today' on more than one 'today'
Logo is borrowed from another project

Win 10 warns of virus when downloading wallet - STRIKE ONE

Website 'under maintenance' - STRIKE TWO

Launching TODAY (2/26/23) while also 'launching today' days ago - STRIKE THREE


I would not trust this as far as I could throw it.

Re: [ANN] EPIC CASH now listed at Bitmart (CEX) in addition to Vitex (DEX)
by
jimboscott
on 03/05/2022, 01:58:16 UTC
A few things that set it apart...

1. Mimblewimble protocol.  I can think of only a handful of MW coins.  MW protocol stores the end state of where coins are and NOT every transaction.  As a result, the entire ledger is tremendously scalable.
2. It can be mined with three different algos.  CPU mining on RandomX, GPU's on ProgPow and ASIC mining on a cuckoo variant.
3. All coins are completely fungible.  It is impossible to have 'tainted' coins.  One cannot be distinguished from any other.
4. Privacy is a default rather than a selected feature

I am sure others can chime in.  Those are the highlights as I see it.

EPIC has been flying under the radar big time.  That is one of the very few weaknesses of a community driven project.  There is no centralized body to promote it.  But that extends the opportunity for entry...

EPIC CASH recently listed at Bitmart with a USDT/EPIC pair in addition to the BTC/EPIC pair at Vitex.

EPIC CASH was originally launched in late September of 2019 and has a strong volunteer community supporting it. 

EPIC is one of just a handful of Mimblewimble protocol coins.  As a result, the chain remains very compact and scalable and there are no 'tainted' coins as EPIC's are totally and completely fungible.

Total supply will be 21 million.

EPIC is very thinly traded.  That is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Good, in that the vast majority of EPIC is locked up in people's wallets for a long term HODL.

Bad, in that a small amount of EPIC can move the market much more significantly than were trading more active.

Hang with it.  Mobile wallet on the horizon.  That will mean no need for open ports for MimbleWimble IP protocol transfers.

Those who think everything should be spoon-fed to them and are griping when it is not are doing those of us who pay attention a great favor.

They are staying away.  They have nothing to add.
