Topic: [ANN] DERO: DAG + Cryptonote + Bulletproofs + SSL + POW + Smart Contracts - page 153. (Read 123190 times)

I don't know the answer to your question but through experience, the average hashrate I have seen is around 5MH pretty stable. There are spikes up to 9MH or so every once in a while (guessing nicehash since it doesn't remain that high).

Hope that helps in some way.

Is there a way to view difficulty chart throughout all time?

Here's an anecdote about why I think Dero is important and exciting as a cryptocurrency.

I was visiting a friend in Munich over this past weekend.  I was trying to convince him to invest in the crypto space but he won't (long story: refuses despite in many ways fitting the ideal "profile" of an early investor).  We were walking into the underground (U-bahn) system there and as many of your probably know, Germany uses an "honour" system with its public transport: there are no turnstiles, ticket inspectors standing at gates, etc.  You buy your own ticket, validate it yourself, and carry it with you as you freely use the system (bus, tram, underground/metro, and suburban train).   If you don't do this you are "schwarz fahren", 'travelling black',  and carry the risk of being busted by an undercover ticket agent and fined.  But in Germany in general rules-based compliance is high among the public (German businesses know this: compliance costs are low compared to other countries) and there are relatively few undercover agents (in all my years of visiting and once for a year living in Germany I have only encountered these agents a tiny handful of times).

The system works, but despite this every now and then (in Munich at least) there is talk of introducing a turnstile system, like you have in London, but the idea never really goes anywhere.  Clearly though there is some concern about compliance and its costs, and the costs to the system of those people who use the public transport system without paying.

I remarked to my friend that I could imagine a "smart card" system, where you buy a card and top it up, or get billed after the fact (like with a mobile telephone account), and you only need to carry this card when you use the system.  There would be various sensors at entries and exists, and the system would "know" when you rode the system without paying, and you would either get apprehended as you exited a station (or a bus/tram) if you had no card, or your account would automatically be billed as needed.  People who kept their account in good standing would never have to worry or even think about the process.  There would be various discounts for students, retired people, low-income people, just as you have now.  You could be billed per use, or buy a monthly/yearly pass, and so on.  This "smart card" system would preserve the convenience and friendliness of the current system (no turnstiles), while cutting compliance costs even further.

My friend pointed out that this would be a privacy nightmare: the system (or the government, etc) would be able to track everyone and know exactly the locations of people, their travelling habits, and so on.  (An anathema to Germans, in particular.)  I immediately shouted: "Bingo: blockchain!".  A smart contracts system implemented on an obfuscated blockchain could solve this problem.  The system could validate that users had paid for their use of the system, and deduct their account accordingly, without knowing where the entry and exit points, or their times, etc, were (except when somebody travelled without a smart card at all, of course).  More importantly, a properly-educated public would know this and have faith that they could use such a smart charging system without having their privacy compromised at all.  Indeed, using the smart card system would guarantee their privacy - it is those who tried to travel without paying who would have their privacy compromised (they would get caught).

This is just one example of a potential application of a Dero-type blockchain, that - as I see it - none of the other cryptocurrencies can provide.  I think there are tons and tons of examples like this.  We really do need a smart contracts system on an obfuscated blockchain.  It is a very obvious next step for the crypto space to take, and it is why I am excited about the Dero project.  It also needs to be a project that is properly managed, which means properly decentralised, and I think the Dero developers have the vision behind the project on that side too, at least from what I have been able to see.

There are of course versions of the smart card system already in use in public transport systems, e.g. in London.  However as far as I know the system is always elective - you can choose a less convenient alternative (and turnstiles are very much used in London) partly because of the privacy issues; you have to choose to give up your privacy in exchange for the convenience of the electronic system, like so much of the high-tech space these days.   Correct me if I'm wrong, people, but smart contracts over an obfuscated blockchain eliminates this convenience/privacy tradeoff.  This is the point of Dero as I see it.  The world very much needs it.  

Keep up the good work!

I misread your first post as "the block height # AND estimated time", thank you for clearing that up!

Thank you for your kind post  by the way and we appreciate you as well.

Hi Serena,

Thanks for your help, highly appreciated! I do understand the concept of a premine, what I meant was that if certain amounts of coins ( so for core devs 25,20,20,30% each year) will be released, then probably each bag is locked up until we reach a certain block height. (as you said this happens yearly so I could do the math with the block time myself)

Anyway, the wallet key does the job for me, gotta love this project.

Thank you!

Thank you, we appreciate your feedback and welcome you to the community.

There are a number of us in slack that talk about a wide range of topics related to Dero if you would like to join us for a good conversation any time you're curious.

Hello, Dero logo design is very interesting. I really like.

Hello, the public wallet can be seen here:

http://explorer.dero.io/myoutputs/a2487478d25886f45b80a8efe08bc3636b9eec6fc246327526dc670a52dd7d00/dERopSJsuq8byjizjyqr7aFG4bQQSDE2F8sHuAe92uBu4QZpm33uCmUGyiXnFTEwjPH4jYqFj622UVcTnpEFAhhQ8e8HggAMpL/2b7e5941737e0416eebaba30c3c30b517a14db1efa9aa13b119e31c380313603

The block height number is 1 (genesis block) and the time the coins will be released is 1, 2, 3, and 4 years down the road. The total number of premined coins is 2 MILLION.

To date the coins have been allocated in the following ways:

Core development: 0.5 Million coins (25% of total premine) is due to be unlocked after 1 (20%), 2 (20%), 3 (30%), and 4 (30%) years consecutively.

General activities and development: 0.5 Million coins (25% of total premine) is due to be unlocked after 1 (10%), 2 (20%), 3 (30%), and 4 (40%) years consecutively.

To be determined: 1 Million coins (50% of total premine) is due to be unlocked after 4 years of development.

There will be more specific information regarding plans for the premined coins as they become available. The team is committed to transparency and will keep the community informed with up to date information. There are plans to incorporate and at that time the team will make themselves well known to the public.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out and I will do my best to help.

Just an idea... Is there any chance you guys would share more detailed info about the premine? I mean a public wallet key, the block height # or estimated time when locked coins will be released? That would probably increase the trust and commitment of investors in this project.

yes working fine on official dero pool

Dero at present is a code fork of Monero (Helium Hydra) with the Bytecoin CryptoNote protocol.
Dero will be a completely new blockchain technology integrating the CryptoNote protocol with new smart contract controls.
Dero is being rewritten from C++ to Golang (Google Language) to bring together CryptoNote and smart contracts on the Dero blockchain.
No ICO just hard POW mining

CryptoNote protocol implementation in Golang is almost completed.

Thank you for your compliments, we appreciate having you as a member of the community. I look forward to having some great conversations at your leisure as the project moves ahead!

Just like I said before, I like this project, I'm one of the miners out there... (even I mine only at night - electricity costs are half)

At this time there is a lot of work scheduled and in progress in regards to the wallets. However, right now the devs are very deep into the golang code and making exceptional progress getting the core functionality working properly and efficiently. If you follow some of the updates you can see that they've made some great optimizations to the CryptoNote protocol to date.

There is plenty of discussion between the dev team about how to bring down resource utilization and provide options for all users. Stay tuned for updates, I think you will be impressed when you see the progress and the roadmap as we're able to update it.

                                         
Is it in the list also to have some light wallet client?

anyone mining Dero using miningrigrentals?

yeah, Also pls see whitepaper for more details: https://github.com/deroproject/documentation/blob/master/WhitePaper.md

First when you copy/paste address, it breaks into two, Paste in text editor first and fix it.
Second For more details of transfer syntax see : https://forum.dero.io/t/dero-transfer-guide/16

what am I doing wrong?

[wallet dERojs]: transfer 1 1 dERokPan5wMCjQCCUTZQakNLqgDPQCnMfUdTH5fLWoBAg3JnU79jNkFarUVGqwJc6R5NW2qLE5iuocm SHgQWgHop1hv7nBsVYT 2 2a3cc2c6288fe241e363512057e2c4db0fe56bce4d72d9ed73a24e024306c937

Error: failed to parse address

So will DERO's smart contract guarantee the privacy of its users? But we'll have access to the contract, correct?
