Karbo Wallet v. 1.4.1 released

Download: https://github.com/seredat/karbowanecwallet/releases/tag/v.1.4.1

Please uninstall the old version before installing this one, because we changed the installer. Make sure you do not remove the wallet file and blockchain!

Important changes:
  •     Flat-rate fee for public nodes
        Please note that starting from this release the wallet pays a flat-rate fee for nodes that support this, fallback to percent based fee for old nodes (for transition period). Please check node's fee and make sure it's acceptable for you before using it.
  •     Proper Base58 encoding of proofs
        The format of "payment proof" and "reserve proof" has changed because now they are properly (better) encoded. Now the "payment proof" starts from Proof (before was ProofV1, the "reserve proof" starts from RsrvPrf (before: ReserveProofV1).
  •     Deterministic transaction keys
        The secret transaction key can now be restored after wallet reset or import from keys for transactions sent from new wallets starting from this version.
  •     Poor man's Dandelion protocol
        Enhances privacy making it harder to determine the IP address of the node that originated the transaction.

There are also other changes, read release description on the link above.

Karbo CLI Suite v. 1.7.2 released

Download: https://github.com/seredat/karbowanec/releases/tag/v.1.7.2

This is just software update with new features, not a hardfork. In this update:

-    Change spent key images storage (reduce memory usage)
-    Deterministic transaction keys
-    Fixed missing address file name when import tracking wallet
-    Fixed validation on atypical to domains
-    Flat-rate fee for public nodes
-    Poor man's Dandelion protocol
-    Proper Base58 encoding of proofs
-    Small optimization in pushBlock: do not recalculate block hash
-    Tidyup crypto: make crypto primitives more clear, move scattered and repeated definitions to one place, add some new crypto functions, fix compiler warning
-    option `--enable-blockchain-indexes` now has a short alias `-i`

Read more details on this release page above.

Please note that now nodes have flat-rate fee which is set by an additional flag for a daemon `--fee-amount` so node operator can set the desired fee like this: `--fee-amount=0.1`

To the `/feeaddress` endpoint output is added a field `fee_amount` in atomic units.
The /feeaddress output now looks like this:
Code:
{
"fee_address":"KaqCQAbx3BSKKv7ED98oQP9QSP3igqgo47hPYZ8q6KZyUY6GnDaQkh9WbVR4DxvmCq8mZcKPg3wfWFJQ5CsyrxPqKcXC3rx",
   "fee_amount":100333000000,
   "status":"OK"
}
The `/feeaddress` endpoint remains unchanged for backward compatibility. Wallets will pay the old percent-based fee for old nodes without flat-rate fee_amount in the `/feeaddress` endpoint for a transition period. This feature may be deprecated and removed in the future. From the `/getinfo` endpoint `fee_address` field is removed not to duplicate.

Fraud!


Probably just some maintaining. I contacted developer, he will fix it as soon as he can.

Edit: Already fixed.

Trade KRB at Livecoin.net!

This great!

KRB is now #271 in cap...

Maybe not such a complete disaster...
KRB has gone from a $25,000 cap and #271... to $775,000 cap and #908  Smiley

But 3 years in crypto is an eternity...
So tweaking legacy 2016 tech probably does not take you very far...
And responding to the Haven Hoax or obsessing about ASICs is just a quagmire.

The future can be seen in the exploding smart contract interconnected DeFi space...
Or the dead simple cash like anon of Pirate now at $25 million cap...
You guys are elite and can do anything... get creative and move away from the CryptoNote micro-cap glut  Smiley
I appreciate the feedback, thank you very much! I am not sure we will try to implement such features like smart contracts, the task is hefty for us. The truth is that we are limited in resources and manpower of devs, but those who work on it are devoted so we slowly move on in this quagmire, but we do move Smiley Before we can start taking on other things we want to secure the network with own algo, move security more into the internal self-sustaining economy space with stakes. Right now we are working on several POW candidates, based on argon2 and its competitor balloon. We won't consider RandomX as we don't want common algo with a larger network. We won't promise miraculous tech or bells and whistles, we just want robust, secure, working and stable coin, rich in useful features for its designation, with developed ecosystem.

This is merely proposal, it may not pass, besides we also are working on alternative proposals.

Tests showed that indeed drive speed has a significant impact on mining hashrate, e.g. ~ 0.03kH/s on HDD vs 0.15kH/s on SSD with argon2 as hashing algo with small memory cost, which, by the way, will not be used anyways because there is already optimized GPU miner for argon2 and that means that AISC/FPGA will be there soon. So at least in this part, it will be different in the final setup.

We have alternative client practically ready with much more faster synchronization which will probably substitute current one. So sync speed will be less an issue, but the requirement to have full blockchain is the thing that I like. The whole idea of BloDHa is to stimulate nodes with full blockchain and making botnet miner too large or slow.

Maybe we will make it so that there won't be any possibility to make "lightweight" blockchain Smiley

New Karbo improvement proposal published https://github.com/Karbovanets/papers/blob/master/KIP-001.md

Reviews and opinions are welcomed. Public testnet will be launched these days, stay tuned.




KIP-001: ArgoNight — Non-Outsourceable Blockchain Based Proof-of-Work Hash

v. 1.1

nuclEar_chaos, Aiwe, Luke

Herein the new POW algorithm proposal for Karbo is explained.
Basic overview

In order to achieve our goals we decided to use blockchain data in hashing to create non-outsourceable algorithm which will be able to prevent pooled mining and botnets.

Now hashing is a closed algorithm, that is, we have nonce which is changed and an incoming static data. The idea is to include in the calculation of the final hash a factor which destroys such a closed system.

Specific implementation is to include in algorithm the data from a blocks, the heights of which are defined as an intermediate result of a preparatory hash. That is, for the next hash with another nonce these intermediate blocks will be completely different. Thus, without an access to the blockchain hashing is not possible.

Detailed overview

The hashing in proposed algorithm works as follows:

1)    A block is hashed by fast Keccak hashing function to get the preliminary hash_1.
2)    The resulting hash_1 is used to retrieve 32 blocks at corresponding heights from the blockchain.
3)    A block is then hashed together with 32 retrieved blocks by the Argon2 hashing algorithm using hash_1 as salt.

The block here stands for block hashing blob binary array which consists of block header, which in turn contains, among others, so called nonce.

The mining process in Proof-of-Work uses nonce (a 32 bit arbitrary random number) that is used together with the block data as input for hashing function. Essentially miner is brute forcing all possible nonces in order to find a hash than satisfies the target difficulty.

Because changing the nonce also changes the preparatory hash_1, a different set of 32 blocks is required for every nonce to be retrieved from the blockchain. Thanks to this:

  •     the performance is limited to the speed of I/O operations
  •     every miner needs access to the blockchain (i.e. only full nodes will be mining)
  •     sending from the pool server or requesting block data from open nodes is impractical overhead due to network latency and transfer speed/bandwidth limitations.

I don't like it, because:
- The blockchain is big enough.
Last time when I tried syncing from scratch it took 2-3 days
- One has to use SSD... and the faster the better. Arm's race it will be.  Are there any preliminary calculations of required hardware to achieve "saturation" of 6-card rig? Like, CPU/memory
A "lightweight" blockchain will be developed - by those with resources, eg big miners
- Power, power, power ... it will be even more power-demanding


Wish I had solutions instead of pointing the obvious :/, its a tough choice

PS: Great job, btw Smiley
