Alterdot is a domain name system IPFS content registration service using its own open source blockchain (blockchain DNS).

For its practical use, users can install a special browser extension:

ADOT is a cryptocurrency designed to pay for the services of the Alterdot platform, as well as a regular digital payment instrument.

Cryptocurrency ADOT is traded on exchanges:

• exbitron (paired with USDT and BTC);
• cratex (for BTC, LTC and DOGE);

at a price of 6-7 dollars per thousand coins (06/22/2022):


The coin has recently appeared on the exchange, the trading volume is too small, so it is too early to judge the real ADOT price and capitalization.

For everyday use of ADOT coins, you can use the client wallet, which can be downloaded from the project website or on Github:


The distribution of ADOT across wallets is quite fair (“whales” own 37% of all coins, while less than 8% of the total amount of ADOT is stored on the Development Fund and Dev Fund Hot wallets):



What are the features of the Alterdot (ADOT) cryptocurrency?

Alterdot is characterized by the following technical features:

• Alterdot is a fork of DASH. The blockchain runs on a hybrid PoS + PoW consensus algorithm with argon2d-16000 hashing (a variant of argon2d Dynamic cryptocurrency for CPU + GPU);
• until 01/30/2021, the Alterdot blockchain used the argon2d250 algorithm;
• target time between blocks - 128 seconds until block 1 million, then - 360 seconds (240 blocks / day);
• from block 1,034,000 mining difficulty is refined using the LWMA algorithm;
• the reward for the block found starting from 2022 is equal to 10 ADOT coins, of which: 4 for miners and masternode owners, 2 for the development fund. Annual inflation with this amount of remuneration is less than 5%;
• on the network, it is possible to use privacy technologies and accelerated (up to 2 seconds) transactions (Mixing and InstantSend);
• the minimum cost of a transaction in the Alterdot network is 0.0001 ADOT;
• running a masternode requires at least 10,000 ADOT coins.

Who created and promotes the Alterdot cryptocurrency?

The development of the Alterdot project is carried out by an anonymous group of developers ( Github ):


There was no ICO to promote the project, all funds are collected by allocating part of the coins generated during the generation of blocks to the development fund.

How to mine Alterdot (ADOT) cryptocurrency?

You can mine ADOT coins on the argon2d-16000 (argon2d-bcrs) algorithm:

• on AMD CPU/GPU using srbminer-multi 0.8.8+ (fee 0.85%);
• on the processor - in the cpuminer-opt-kudaraidee program (an open source program);
• on Nvidia graphics cards - a.multiminer (open source program).

For mining on the argon2d-16000 algorithm, the video card must have at least 4 GB of memory.

You can choose a pool for mining Alterdot (ADOT) on miningpoolstats:

Hashrate of some video cards when mining on the argon2d_16000 algorithm, H/s:

• AMD Radeon R9 290/290X - 1050-1150 (srbminer-multi 0.9.4);
• AMD Radeon RX464 - 1600-1650 (srbminer-multi 0.9.7);
• AMD Radeon RX584 - 2600-2750 (srbminer-multi 0.9.7);
• AMD Radeon RX6700XT - 9300-9400;
• AMD Radeon RX6800XT - 12700-12800;
• AMD Radeon RX6900XT - 13700-13800.

Batch file for running Alterdot (ADOT) mining on the CPU:


Mining Alterdot (ADOT) on a CPU on an Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz processor (xubuntu 16.04, 3 threads, hashrate 330 H/s):


On four threads, the Intel I5-4670 processor produces 380-390 H / s. Other processors on four threads produce the following hashrate:

• Intel i7-8700K 3.70GHz - 580;
• Intel i7-7700 3.60GHz - 520;
• engineering Intel I7-6400T (QHQG) 2.20GHz - 350;
• engineering Intel I5-6400T (SR2L1) 2.20GHz - 330;
• Intel i5-4590 3.30GHz - 390;
• Intel i5-4570R CPU 2.70GHz -460;
• Intel i5-7400 3.00GHz - 370;
• Intel i5-3570K 3.40GHz - 330;
• Intel Celeron G1840 2.80GHz - 70 (1 stream);
• AMD Ryzen 3 3100 - 590.

You can calculate the approximate income from mining Alterdot coins (ADOT) using the calculator on miningpoolstats or on minerstat:


At the time of writing, the calculator was showing "cosmic income" due to the incorrect setting of the reward for the found block. More accurately, income can be calculated manually, guided by information from the zergpool pool (Current Estimate).

As of 06/22/2022, ADOT mining yields 0.0276 mBTC (0.55 USD) per 1 KH/s (dirty, excluding electricity price), which is not too bad, especially for CPU mining.

Conclusion

Alterdot (ADOT) is new to the world of cryptocurrencies. While she can not boast of a large number of users. Due to its insufficient use as a means of payment and a means of exchange trading, the coin is subject to strong volatility. This allows you to earn or lose funds in the speculative trading of ADOT coins.

The ADOT coin is of particular interest to the mining community in terms of novelty and low gluttony of the algorithm, as well as (still) low mining difficulty.

If the domain name system linked to the Alterdot blockchain gains popularity, the ADOT cryptocurrency will open up new horizons…

Guys can I have some opinions about this coin? What do you think about it?

This update brings with it the following updates to our code;

• Freezes rewards at current levels (4 to PoW, 4 to MNs, and 2 to DevFund)

The purpose of this change is keeping rewards attractive until Alternodes come to life as they represent a major milestone in our development process. Once that happens, a different reward allocation will be set in place to accommodate the new dynamics of our ecosystem. A hard fork will take place at block 1,131,400, diverging from the old reward structure, so make sure to update all of your nodes as soon as possible!

Our monthly report and Q&A has been moved to this Friday, May 6th, at 17:00 UTC, so make sure to attend it on Discord - https://discord.com/invite/86eTp6m7p9.

We have an important update regarding the future change of algorithm such that CPU mining becomes profitable again. We have decided to go for a dual mining algorithm solution so we can keep everyone in the game. The two algorithms will be RandomX, a CPU friendly algorithm developed by Monero, and Argon2d16000, the one we currently have in use.

We have also been discussing about the possibility of freezing rewards (both MN and PoW) at current levels until Alternodes come into play as they will have their own reward which changes things up a bit. With the current scheme, rewards are bound to decrease down to 2/2/2 (MN/PoW/DevFund) in one year from now, but with the latest influx of newcomers we believe keeping rewards a little higher, at 4/4/2, should allow for more growth. Inflation can be used as a tool to attract new people and that is what we have in mind. After analyzing several financial models, this scenario proves to have the most benefits: more rewards, inflation still under 10% per annum, improved liquidity, 20% of new rewards going to the DevFund instead of 33%. This measure will be taken only after we are in agreement with the community so speak up on our Discord server!

All Masternodes should be updated to the latest version of Alterdot (v1.8.0.1) as well as their sentinels (v1.4.2). There are instructions for this on our Discord (https://discord.gg/86eTp6m7p9) in the #masternodes channel. There are only 2 days left until we switch to the Deterministic Masternodes system so make sure to register your MNs into the new system by following the official guide here: https://github.com/Alterdot/Alterdot/releases/download/v1.8.0.1/Alterdot_Masternode_Setup.pdf (Steps 3.4 and 3.5)

If you do not register your Masternode in the next ~550 blocks you will not be receiving rewards anymore as the old system will no longer be used!


BlockchainDNS News

Our browser extension that bridges the Alterdot and IPFS networks will be released very soon, I will announce an exact date for this on our Discord. Together with this release I will be doing a presentation about the extension and about what's coming next for our project, don't miss it!

You can now start registering and reserving domain names on the Alterdot blockchain! All you have to do to accomplish this is go to your wallet console and use the command "registerdomain example_name example_content". In this case the domain example_name will point to the text "example_content". You will be able to update it afterwards by using the command "updatedomain" with any IPFS/IPNS hash or text that you want.

The Blockchain Domain Name System can point to any text such as an IP address, an IPFS/IPNS hash, an Alterdot (or any other cryptocurrency) address or any other text. Our use case will focus on the IPFS-Blockchain entanglement but you can build anything you want with it. The names and the text that they point to can contain many types of characters such letters, numbers, dots, dashes, underline, comma and more. The length limits are 80 characters for names and 69 characters for content, in time these limits might grow.

Reserve any domains you might want to use with a cost of 0.2 ADOT by using the command mentioned above. Two important things to note: let your wallets fully synchronize before using the BDNS, and second, your domains will expire after one year. As a disclaimer, keep in mind that this functionality is experimental so bear with us as it gets developed. Problems might come up that could hinder the usage of this functionality. This is one of the main reasons for having such a low price at this initial stage of the BDNS.

In the not too distant future we will be releasing a browser plugin that will integrate with the Alterdot Blockchain DNS.

I've already registered a couple of domains and have put together some ideas (below) on tld's that could be used with this as there are no restrictions on what can be registered unlike other chains.


Again, please note that this is still in development but it costs almost nothing to register your preferred name right now.
