As we now see, the opposit is the case

The "adoption" of the network not really growing even the press says something different, we have 3 sat per vbyte.

When the coinbase reward drops nearly to zero in 16 years, such times will really be a problem, exspecially when a working L2 is implemented.

Lightning is just a kids game with ridiculous UTXO due to incoming liquidity and forced closed channels.

RAPTOREUM DID IT! 🚀

It is with absolute pleasure that we can present to you:
Raptoreum Assets Mainnet CODENAMED:- RIP-LFG

->  New Versioning: 2.0.3.00

So what happens next?
- Upgrade your Mainnet Wallets NOW
- At Block 905760 (August 31st), RIP-01 Voting will Activate a 7 day Rolling Average = The Raptoreum Network is Looking for 85% or more Smartnodes on the Brand New Assets Code-🔸After that locks in on the 7th September there will be a 7 day Grace Period for others to upgrade leading up to September 14th of which the anticipated RTM Assets WILL COME ALIVE

Once again, a huge thank you to our Core Team, Developers, Marketing Crew, Mods and our incredible community in helping drive the vision on how we all see TRUE UTXO DEFI ASSETS deployed

I am so excited to see the build possibilities on the new code come to fruition.  Including ICO's, to NFT's, to Real Estate Tracking, to Tokenized Cars, to Staggered Releases, to Exclusive Music, to Exchange support, to Community incentives, to Marketplaces, to Mobile Wallets, to Event Ticketing  (the use cases are endless)
What will YOU build?

RIP-LFG
Raptoreum is Relentless
Raptoreum innovates

I still believe in the strong team and community.

Just not for pump and dump but for buliding community.

But market is a bitch. Anything from 1 sat to 100 sat is possible

I hope RTM gets back its value soon

Where is the check in core code where the closed channel TX come from? There is none, because the core dont know the input TX.
its only new consensus how it is technically working

Not main Emmision curve, another way using BTC Script or something else

As I said I am not talking of main Emmision, that would cause a hard fork. But you put BTC from one adress to another against UTXO consensus with LN.
And Sidechains etc will put their BTC also on a special adress without any UTXO proof of main chain

Is anyone interested in this topic?

Here it is I finally found it:

Hey,

I read a tweet from someone that said, a BTC tail emmision could be done as soft fork. I have some technically experiance in blockchain so..... the main reward scheme could of course only be changed by hard fork.

But as after Segwit and so on some more things are possible with BTC Script. For example LN gets BTC to one place to another without trust of the main chain

So may there be the possibltly that some kind of extra reward can be send by the Algo to the miners by Scrypt or anything else with only a soft fork?

Please technical informative replies only!

Thanks

So.....after 4 days and I get a running Core Lightning node....but now....I could throw it out of the window......no plugin like GUI I get startet......and peers get immidiatly disconnected before I can fund them.... no idea what I am doing wrong 

And I thought the Bitcoin Core would be possible to dump the keys but the core has own Mainchain keys.....not sure if the exportet HEX file hsm_secret does its job..... 

Thanks @n0nce & @Cricktor for your help.

I was inspired yesterday by the thread and done some own research again and found also Core Lighting with plugins. Currently waiting for sync the BTC Core. Lets see

Still the remaining question. There are tools/plugins to re-balance the channels. But how you do the inital fund of the "other side of the cannel" (incoming?).

Thanks

So maybe its little off topic, but I try running a LN Node sometimes always stuck.

The thing is I want to have the possibility of some settings like channel fee and so on.

I dont wanna buy a Raspi so I wanna use Ubuntu VPS, but I dont get this (https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/releases) LN daemon work.

Is there any good beginners guide for it somewhere? My search not helped me.

As I understand as I got a windows node working for a while, you need to fund "the other side of the channel". Is that really needed and when yes, how you do it?

Thanks for your help

PGN is finally forking into a DASH and Masternode/Datanode network

Masternode Fork (1.18.2.0) - Hard Fork (Required Upgrade by May 1 2022)This release is a major, required upgrade to continue operating on the Pigeoncoin blockchain. This release has been in the works for several years after being directed by the community. Thank you to the developers and testers and to the community who helped make this happen.

Previous versions of the Pigeoncoin client were based on the Bitcoin codebase. This version ported everything over to the Dash codebase. After upgrading your wallet to the new format as an end user, other then a new look to the wallet, things should operate just the same. There is no airdrop, simply a wallet database upgrade done by the software.

The dash codebase was required to add the masternode capability which lays the groundwork for the upcoming datanodes which are required for the future of Pigeoncoin.

A hard fork occurs at block 2,074,070, which is roughly May 1st 2022 03:23 UTC. At this time Masternodes can be created. Payouts begin at block 2,094,230, which is roughly May 15th 2022 03:23 UTC. Exact times may be several hours off depending on how fast blocks are mined.

Please ensure you upgrade your wallet prior to May 1st to ensure a smooth transition.

For new users, simply download the new binary or build from source. No special configuration is required.

To verify your wallet is synced after upgrading you can verify the latest block from http://explorer.pigeoncoin.xyz/blocks

NOTE: Pools/Miners: do NOT upgrade until late April 30th, as close to the fork block time as possible. You should not create blocks using the new node until fork time. Everyone else can upgrade now.


For users upgrading, please read the release notes very carefully prior to moving forward.  It has an upgrade procedure you must follow to ensure a smooth upgrade.  If you need further assistance ask for help in

Still no one here really deals with the argument of the "dead  end"

Again the energy consumption will rise because of

people want more money so ->

1) they buy more and

2) technically better miners

-> that conclude in a pemanent growing energy consumption.

I deny again that there is an end in how fast solving the sha 256 function in the next 20 years because people will always invent computer a little faster.

Maybe my numbers are wrong and it takes longer but it happens. And technically there is a limit to deliver electricity and if not:

One other thing not discussed here
When there is electrictiy in an glut so you can get it everywhere without investing, POW again does not make any sense because it does not put the important value in it.
Bicoiners say only investing work makes the value, if electricity has no hard work anymore the arguement stick

The guy in your blog says its not invented. It IS invented already 
So why BTC does not copy paste to make a start 

So the "nothing to stake problem" and others are so often mentioned that it makes POS unsecure.  If POS so easy go hack ADA and get  at least 1% of the 25 Billion USD.

And some more interesting part in your article: he favorites a combination of POW and POS/Proof of Service. So what exactly is DASH, even when many say the current value of it its not good 

1) So at first we talk of long term. I dont say its a problem tommorow to have the energy that is demanded by the rising energy consumtion

2) When miners opt out and difficulity decreases, the network gets lower safety. Its a solve for the moment but dont solve the problem long term

3)accourding to sources: I can only look what has happend the last years and as always the Bitcoin maxis say: "Everything will continue the same as before .." like S2F and so on

sorry off topic :-)

I dont believe POS makes more centralisation. You can run it with Pools same POW and when you get 4% ROI a year, the rich get not as far richer then with investing in estates.
