Researching your coin, turns out you have some of my favorite Crypto people on the Development team!  All my best to your team in reaching your vision!

Great Coin

would be INSANE not to invest

it's HIGH TIME to buy more INSANE, some INSANE traders are dumping the prices, well, that's INSANEity.

Good to see Insane getting in some marketing.  Picked up some Insane for under 100 sats each today.  Whoever is dumping at this price is totally Insane. 

Thanks for the post, we're here to help

Excellent blue paper.

Great explanation an I am looking forward to seeing more results and data as time goes on.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the Velocity Blue Paper CryptoCoderz and Bittzy78.  Velocity will make Insane, insanely secured.  Less than 7000 blocks before Velocity kicks in!  Sounds like things will go smoothly since Insane is pure POS.  #INSANEISTHENEWNORMAL

Hi, it sounds really great, I'm glad to hear this,

Great!!

I expect it and waiting.

Good luck!

DGW and Velocity will not be implemented until block 35,000 but it is already included in the latest Qt download.

Velocity "BluePaper"
(Prototype Whitepaper)

Contents:
   1 - Intro
   2 - Importance
   3 - Looking ahead

1 - Intro:
Velocity is a re-written feature originally known as "pulse" found in Frycoin. Upon stumbling across this unique feature it became quickly apparent that although significant amounts of code would need to be re-done the feature itself had a very good premise in both security and chain stability aspects. This made it very desirable. Work began to rewrite the code about two weeks ago and has been successful despite a few small setbacks and bugs that do not actually affect chain stability or coin operation in any way other than intended.

2 - Importance:
The key importance of Velocity is to constrain the chain with the parameters already defined within the code as apposed to having things like block spacing and other properties act almost as a suggestion to the chain's operation rather than rule and law so to speak. This is very important in the sense that sudden increase in hashrate or possible attacks are still a vulnerability despite the best retarget systems out there being implemented to control block spacing along with network fees, possible invalid ballance issues while sending transactions and other portions of the blockchain that are enforced with a double check but still susceptible to an attack wether it be temporary or a double spend that is confirmed and causes users of the network grief and losses which is unacceptable.
This is done by the Velocity system being a "triple check", even after a block during generation has seemingly met all requirements and is then produced it is now no longer immediately accepted. Instead it is checked again for inconsistencies and possible other exploits.
Most notably users will see rejected blocks during the mining or minting phase (or both depending on coin properties), despite the tendency to assume that there is something wrong with the chain as it is rejecting blocks this is in fact a completely normal and a welcomed operation.
Reasoning is that rapid block times, incorrect fees, insufficient ballance and other issues can be manipulated by a talented programmer with malicious intent. To guard from these kinds of situations Velocity checks the generated block against the chain parameters, first it Velocity checks the block for proper spacing, if the block was generated too quickly it thus has not met one of the main parameters for the chain and is promptly rejected, staving off possible attacks and any kind of sudden increase in hashrate.
Next the system verifies that previously the client that sent a transaction (if it sent one in the previous block) was in fact a valid transaction by comparing previous balance vs current balance along with fees paid vs minimum fee required to pay. If any of these parameters are not met (mind you these are standard chain parameters and nothing outlandish) then the block is again rejected despite being generated successfully.
Thus this system secures the chain, making it more stable, predictable, and overall reliable, instilling confidence that the blocks that are accepted are indeed blocks that are proper.

3 - Shortcomings:
Currently the biggest shortcoming is that this feature is still a prototype system and in its implementation into the Espers blockchain (which is a fully hybrid system utilizing both PoW and PoS simultaniously) caused small glitches with the retarget system which was not functionining properly to begin with as users may remember seeing very rapid block times and the chain rushing over the course of time since its launch until block 650K when Velocity was finally implemented and the chain secured more thoroughly.
That being said users will note that the blocks accepted are spaced very nicely at a minimum of 3.5 minutes without fail and that the chain moves forward smoothly.
Users will also note that however PoS reports incorrectly stating that a reward is due either imminently (0 seconds) or even states that the user is not staking PoS (which is not true).
These are merely false reports and users that leave their client running will in fact both stake and mine perfectly normally despite seeing rejected blocks, which simply indicates that the Velocity feature is working to secure out chain. The report glitches will be resolved with the upcoming updates that aim to correct the incorrect retarget of Espers' chain.
Next the transaction verification and previous balance checks are currently turned off until such a time as the checks become flawless, the implementation for these specific checks are still being developed to properly ascertain those sections of chain parameters.
Espers itself also being a hybrid blockchain requires a more intuitive retarget approach to reduce rejected blocks and cause the system to properly generate blocks so that Velocity becomes not merely a life support system but merely a security check to a stable and properly operating chain. This is planned to be resolved in the upcoming week.
Users of a Velocity implemented chain may also note that INSANE has now been implemented with this feature, however the issues with Espers will not be apparent in INSANE because INSANE is a pure PoS coin/token now which does not have the shortcomings of a hybrid system (the shortcomings being that hybrid tokens were never intended to stay hybrid save for Espers and a very select few that suffer from the same rapid block time issues as Espers had suffered from prior to Velocity being implemented) and thus will not have the same issues listed above, in this case INSANE will see only the benefits of Velocity running as a security check merely stabilizing the blockchain further and making it more robust.

4 - Looking ahead:
Overall the system can be expanded to eventually include more checks, more verification and a even more stringent implementation that may adapt to any kind of features that are added or removed. This makes the system very adaptable and less of a hassle to work with as it can grow with the coin/token and as it becomes more refined and mature so will this new security feature called Velocity.

The Insane team is doing great.  Bittzy78 is doing his role as well as Notnormals and CryptoCoderz.  My question is, how is Qiwoman2 doing for her role?  I noticed she isn't even wearing the Insane signature and barely posts in here or on any of the Insane Social Media sites. She also has her own coin which she isn't even promoting by wearing the signature.  Her site is full of reviews of coins that she receives bounties to do.  Kind of looks like she's just a bounty hunter.  Call me Insane but that's my opinion. 

Go! Insane, go!  

   

Nice! I'm agree to that notnormals  

cool
