I forked Bitcoin source to run my own network.. everything is working. I'm using Cpuminer to mine blocks... I had to change the script 'first letter' base because i changed the address first letter, but other than that it works fine.

The miner isn't adding any transactions to blocks. The transactions are in the mempool, but the miner isn't adding any of them. I've played with the transaction fees. Anyone else have this issue? I thought to ask. i didn't see anything in the history about this, and looking at the cpuminer code,there doesn't seem to be anything for me to update. Any advice would be welcome... this project is teaching me bitcoin development, so I'm learning as I go.

The requirements are to Freeze 40,000 BOS or more per node (staking), have decent internet (low latency), and have a decent computer (no raspberry pie), but decent laptop or desktop linux/mac will work.

The testnet code will be open sourced, so you'll be able to follow it's development via github. I'm told the website will be updated to add a better development timeline/status, but I haven't seen that, so can't say for sure what that looks like, and then of course we will continue the weekly updates.

Our homomorphic encryption and Human Identity authentication protocol hasn't be published. It is being developed by experts in the field, and integrated into our blockchain protocol. The code will be open sourced, and open for review by anyone, so when we have a working testnet, and our governance protocol is integrated then you can review the code. No security is 100% effective, but with good testing and design we can make it very difficult to game our voting protocol. When we are testing our voting protocol use your fool proof method of bypassing our system, which by the way hasn't even been published yet, and give us feedback, so our Platform is more secure.

The foundation will run testnet nodes but the public can also run testnet nodes and review the code. No block rewards or other payments for running a testnet node. It is voluntary.

Our testNet is the same as almost all blockchain network testNets. It gives us the ability to run our software in an environment where no one will loose any money, because the testNet network uses testNet tokens which have no value. The rewards for running nodes is for mainNet, this has been very clear from the beginning. There is no requirement to run a testNet node. Running a testNet node is not a requirement to run a mainNet node.

During testNet we are going to be integrating Trust Contracts and our governance system into the network.

Every blockchain network has a testNet, and they do not give a block reward.

It's on TESTNET. There are NO rewards on a testNet network. The instructions on how to setup a testNet node will be published when we launch the network.

On May 13, 2018 BOScoin hosted a meetup in Amsterdam NL. We've uploaded the video to youtube. See links below.

BOS Newsletter — May 29th, 2018

https://medium.com/@boscoin/bos-newsletter-may-29th-2018-7b6befd80f73

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
BOScoin Launches ARIST, a research institute to focus on platform Reliability, Scalability, and Privacy

In its whitepaper 2.0, BOScoin set out a clear vision for its future, namely an evolution of Project Financing into Public Financing for a better capitalism — using credit creation through participation, impact investment based on voting, and commonization of certain real world assets. In order to implement Public Financing on the blockchain, BOScoin is developing three key technologies, and is continuing to share visible outcomes with the wider developer community. The following are the key technologies BOScoin is working on to enable Public Financing.

ISAAC Consensus Protocol — A consensus protocol for the BOScoin mainnet, it is based on the mFBA (modified Federated Byzantine Agreement), which brings together the strengths of the SCP (Stellar Consensus Protocol) and the FBA (Federated Byzantine Agreement). This allows data to be safely and efficiently stored on the blockchain. ISAAC is the protocol that will be used on all BOScoin processes, and is an acronym of the four steps in the consensus — Initializing, Signing on, Accepting, and All-Confirming the process.
TRUST Contract — A contract language for Public Financing, it uses OWL (Web Ontology Language) and TAL (Timed Automata Language) technologies to allow ordinary users to easily read and understand the contract. OWL organizes the contract to ensure all relevant parties understand its language, while TAL verifies that all aspects of the contract are accurately processed.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption Based Voting on the Congress Network — The Congress network and the participation of BOScoin holders form a governance system for the Public Financing projects. Public Financing projects initialized on the Congress Network carry information on the purpose of the project, expected returns, project size, price at the point of token creation, amount of allocated tokens, and plans to redistribute to the community. Initialized projects are then signed using the BOScoin fully homomorphic encryption technology. This allows for a fully secret ballot, while preventing Sybil Attacks and ensuring the one-person, one-vote principle is followed.
The BOScoin ARIST (Advanced Research Institute for Social Trust, http://arist.io/), takes on the role of engineering and verifying platform Reliability, Scalability, and Privacy in order to accelerate adoption and commercialization. The institute will hire over twenty mathematics, physics, software engineering, and other experts to research the consensus protocol, trust contracts, privacy technology, and public financing.

BOS Platform Development updates
TestNet
The testNet implementation of our consensus protocol, codename ‘SEBAK’ will be open sourced, and released to the public in June. The details on SEBAK will be announced in early June.

White paper 2.0
The white paper 2.0 is currently under review. Once the final draft is approved then we will publish it. On May 10th, we published an overview of the White Paper 2.0 Part One. https://boscoin.io/article/overview-of-white-paper-2-part1/

Community Management / Meetup
During our trip to Amsterdam and Prague, the team conducted two meetups. We’ve uploaded the Amsterdam meetup which took place on May 13th, 2018 to youtube. There were approximately 30 attendees at the Amsterdam meetup, and the group asked some good questions throughout the session, as you will see from the video. The Amsterdam meetup is divided into two parts. Part one contains a short overview of the project and an explanation of Public Financing. Part Two contains an explanation of the key technology and questions. You can view the videos on our official youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8jcLGbwx_itHzgFPcTLiBg

Exchange Updates
2Xchange (https://www.2xchange.co.kr/main.jsp) the BOScoin p2p exchange, launched with BOS/KRW trading pairs yesterday.


We continue to work with exchanges to list our token. We can not comment on individual exchanges, but we are working on new exchange listings. When there is a public announcementregarding an exchange listing, then we will inform the community.

Distribution
We have less than 10% of the coins remaining from the BOScoin initial distribution. The majority of not yet claimed coins are from bounty participants.

We will distribute claimed coins on the1st and 3rd Monday of every month from now on. If you have any issue with the claim process please email contact@boscoin.io.

Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computation on ciphertexts, generating an encrypted result which, when decrypted, matches the result of the operations as if they had been performed on the plaintext.

In May 2018, Boscoin announced Strategic agreement to launch the first public financing project in November with “Energy7”, an O2O(online-to-offline) platform that is an innovator in the petroleum distribution industry. energy7.kr

MainNet is scheduled for 4th Quarter 2018. testNet is scheduled for early June. We have to integrate Trust Contracts and Governance, then we can launch mainNet when everything is stable on testNet.

BOScoin Key Technology - Fully Homomorphic Encryption Based Voting on the Congress Network – The Congress network and the participation of BOScoin holders form a governance system for the Public Financing projects.

Public Financing projects initialized on the Congress Network carry information on the purpose of the project, expected returns, project size, price at the point of token creation, amount of allocated tokens, and plans to redistribute to the community.
