Mutex has been listed on the BitExBay exchange!

Yes it has it's own blockchain. Download the daemon and GUI wallet here: https://github.com/MutexProject

I see what you are saying.. no I don't think any pools are stealing hash and redirecting it. miners would catch on quick.

Since it is based on Monero/Cryptonote the whitepaper will just be an addendum that discusses how Mutex differs from Monero. Instead of focusing on marketing/WP/site etc we have been working on strengthening the network and onboarding miners. That is going well and we are starting to work on the site and more info/collateral. Right now the main differences are supply, an updated difficulty algorithm, faster block time, a tweaked emission curve and we are experimenting with block size limits. We also want to focus on accessibility, ie: making it easy for users of all levels to get started. There are a few more things we will specify in the WP/addendum but it will not be released until we are done with the site and until after bulletproofs are released and the next mining algo tweak occurs in monero.

Failure is not an option! :-P

Cryptonight V7(Monero)

Use the CLI or GUI wallet to check balance.

As we are only using Erlang/Elixir for tooling/intelligence/APIs etc. it would not impact the stability of our core network. HAving said that, I would disagree with the notion that it is anything but extremely stable. Erlang has a long history of being on of the foundational technologies in large scale Telecom and is used to power large apps like What's app. See here!

Max supply is 1Bil with a very small tail emission as seen in Monero - Circ now is prolly ~100mm. I am writing a tool to run through the chain and sum the rewards actually.
We felt like it was a "not too high, not too low" amount that would appeal to miners and microtransactions, but not as high as say TRTL or ETN where it's hard to see a single coin ever being worth more than 1 SAT :-)

Wallets are at our Github:

CLI tools https://github.com/MutexProject/mutex/releases

GUI releases https://github.com/MutexProject/mutex-gui/releases

Source for various parts of the project: https://github.com/MutexProject

All will be available at the website within the week. Stay tuned!

Well we don't consider them competitors as such but we are similar to coins such as Masari, Aeon, the venerable Wownero etc.. We track Monero, we are not like a fork that is stuck at a certain Monero release. We intend to incorporate bulletproofs and other improvements that come from Monero, but we also have a higher supply to game it up for miners and a modified Difficulty algorithm (LWMA v1) to correct for significant hashrate changes more quickly than you would find with the default Monero diff algo. It works great for a coin Monero's size, but needed to be modified to work for a small/new coin with a far lower and more volatile hash rate.

It's mostly C++ but we are writing some tooling in Erlang.

These guys are hitting us up to list our coin but it seems pretty dodgy. They want to get paid first and the exchange looks really janky. Thoughts?

That would be awesome.

Everyone is on the Telegram. Not sure we need both Discord and Tele for public chat, although I wanted to use Discord for team/collaboration stuff because it's a lot for configurable and Telegram sucks at that.

Great argument.

Stopped? Not sure what you mean. Paper wallet is on Github. Windows binaries are floating around and will soon be posted as a release. Working on a proper GUI wallet. Community members are working on a light wallet. I kind of enjoy that people have to compile it themselves still but I realize we need proper releases :-)

Yes, you may want to use a pool but it's still very possible to find blocks solo mining. More fun IMO.

Ok. I just submitted it. Pretty early still but this would be really awesome.

Soonish. Working on it and will post in the next month or so. This is a close fork of Monero with a different supply and emission schedule. I am also working on improving the difficulty adjustment algo and once that is done I will finish compiling a small whitepaper to outline what is different about Mutex and our goals etc. Now that the network is live, the most immediate thing is getting more wallets, proper releases, getting a proper website up and setting up the bounty campaign to expedite these things.

This is awesome. Looking for a solid bounty manager now to get some more wallets out!

Hashparty was nice enough to set up a pool to do the premine. The idea was to do the premine with real blocks and no "block 0 reward". This allowed us to have a taller and more durable chain on release. I think it worked well except that some people that are somehow offended by it. The pool got a bounty for setting it up and nothing more. The funds are being used for additional bounties and exchange listings.
