Epic Cash Mainnet Launches September 2, 2019
_________________________________________

After almost two years of development and testing, our development team has given the green light to officially launch the Epic Cash Mainnet network on 7 PM UTC Monday, September 2, 2019.

We want to give a big THANK YOU to all the dedicated testers and contributors who helped Epic Cash get here.

Be sure to get the latest wallet and miner releases to mine on launch day!

Can't we just have the github link like all other blockchains so we can actually view the code and see how it's put together..

Section 2.1.4 of the technical whitepaper reads:

Quote

By having a flexible cipher policy, we can take advantage of opportunities in the mining marketplace to acquire the greatest possible hash power. As certain kinds of hardware stop being economical on other chains, we can make room for them on Epic at a lower price, increasing their return on capital while delivering hash power to the network at a lower marginal cost. As other kinds of ciphers stop being effective, we can diminish or eliminate their allotment on Epic, making room for newer providers.

Can you provide any practical examples of such a policy working in any other PoW cryptocurrencies?

What are the potential attack vectors introduced by having a flexible cipher policy, and how are they mitigated?

Hi wesdewayne. We asked our developer Todd Lewis, and he replied:

Quote

1. Not at the moment (sorry, very busy with launch preparations), but I believe there are a few projects with a similar system.

2. We think a flexible policy reduces risk. The normal case of a static policy is a subset of the dynamic policy case. I.e, we can always implement a static policy via the dynamic framework. However, we also can respond quickly to changing circumstances in mining and security, which others cannot.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Grin is properly credited in GitLab and white paper.

Why not credit Grin on your webpage as well, which will get a lot more eyes than either GitLab or white paper?
Looks like you want to leave some people with the false impression that Epic Cash is original work.

if its mainnet then we just got screwed and im calling it quits it had better be testnet otherwise the mass is probably gonna follow suit and bye bye epic cash

It is not mainnet yet.

The launch was delayed to make sure we can have Windows miner available at launch. Apologies for the confusion.

Quote from: notblox1 on August 04, 2019, 06:43:07 PM

What is happening with this Epic coin?
Is mainnet released yet or not?

I remember I saw some old Epic coin long time ago, but I am not sure it is same Epic like this.

It is not yet released. We'll be providing an updated Mainnet launch date after we have our Windows miner tested and ready.

Epic Cash is not the old Epic Coin. The project behind Epic Coin has rebranded into Kubo Coin, so that there will be less confusion.

We just started a new bug bounty for the Epic mining community!

any premine?

No, no premine. Also no ninja or instamine, we have a smooth emission that starts at zero.

So much for no premine already 1500+ blocks already mined and over 300k coins in circulation so much for fair mining

I didn't think RandomX was ready just yet, so when would the release date for Epic be?

Hi DarkMind. The current plan is to launch on August 1st. Our RandomX implementation is ready, and we'll ensure a fair launch with mining available to everyone at the start.
