Dear Community!
First I would like to say that I am aware it is not yet 14 days from previous announcement. The reason for this premature official announcement is that I would like to fix dates of announcements on around 1st and 15th in month. Today is 15th, so you can expect next announcement around 1st July.
1. I am glad to announce that we have just released a cluster of remote Alloy nodes that you can connect to using the Alloy wallet. They bring the benefit of not needing to download the entire blockchain in order for you to check balances and/or make transactions.
You can check the live status of these nodes and also instructions on how to use them by visiting
https://alloyexplorer.com/#/remotes2. Our new release of xmr-stak version 2.4.5 has been tested with both AMD, NVIDIA (rx550, rx580, rx vega 64, gtx 1070) and CPU (celeron G3900, i7). It is working like a charm. Please test it and give us feedback.
You can download it at
https://github.com/alloyproject/xmr-stak-alloy/releases3. Our first vote about exchanges is completed. It seems we all agree that we need to concentrate on getting listed on one of "medium sized" exchanges. So far our bigest exchange we are traded on is TradeOgre with around 200.000$ daily volume.
I have made a list of exchanges I believe are appropriate and have started contacting them. List is as follows :
Low-end :
- Crex24 with daily volume of 150.000$
- BiteBTC with daily volume of 150.000$
- Stocks.Exchange with daily volume of 300.000$
- Trade Satoshi with daily volume of 300.000$
Mid range :
- Cobinhood with daily volume of 700.000$
- CryptoBridge with daily volume of 800.000$
- CoinExchange with daily volume of 1.500.000$
High-end :
- Mercatox with daily volume of 5.000.000$
- BTC-Alpha with daily volume of 5.800.000$
- Cryptopia with daily volume of 7.800.000$
I would also like to hear your proposals about which exchange do you prefer. You can take a look at exchanges here
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/4. We would like to create Alloy Project youtube channel, where we will post short 1-3 min videos about every aspect of our project (general, mining, roadmap, team, exchanges ...). I would like community to play active role in this videos, therefore I am offering 1000 XAO reward for person who will create 10s long Alloy video intro, and 5s long Alloy video closure. Probably it is not necessary to mention that you have to use Alloy Project logo - apart from that, be creative! Out of all intro/closure received, we will choose the best one and reward the creator. Second and third place will also be rewarded for their effort with 500 and 300 XAO.
5. As I already said on our discord channel, simpleminingOS is for now only working with NVIDIA GPU. I got reply from simpleminingOS and they told me mining cryptonight-alloy is possible using ccminer-tpruvot-v2.2.6-cuda8.0 (PHI2 , Allium Support). AMD GPU mining on simpleminingOS is not yet available.
We will continue to cooperate with simpleminingOS untill also AMD cards are supported.
We are also working on ethOS, to make it Alloy compatible.
6. I have updated our initial bitcointalk thread post with new graphics, and I will need some little help from the community. When I put link around img it pushes img for 0.2 cm into right so now it is not aligned with picture below and above. Does anyone have any idea how to correct this? take a look at it here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-alloy-xao-the-next-generation-anonymous-cryptocurrency-3002653 and tell us what you think! Apart of that little problem, I believe it looks much more professional now!
Keep following us and stay tuned for more great news!
