2020.05.02:
1. Initial beta version is released: https://github.com/raicoincommunity/Raicoin/releases
2. Please pm me your raicoin account, i will send some coins to you for test. -----------------------------------------------------
Raicoin will be developed based on the ideas of NANO(formerly Raiblocks) but with many different and new features.
1.
Node Reward: all nodes with election weight can earn reward.
2.
Credit Mechanism: NANO uses POW to anti transaction flooding attack, this approach will be replaced by the new credit system.
2.1 Accounts destroy little amount coin to get credits from the network, than allowed to do (20 x credits) transactions every day(In a word, buy once for life).
2.2 Any account must have at least 1 credit when it is created.
2.2 The cost of credit will gradually decrease.
2.3 Transactions from accounts with high remaining percentage of allowed transactions will be processed first when the network is busy.
3.
Achievable and Sustainable high performance.
3.1 Two types of nodes are designed: light node and full node. light nodes can not only do pruning but also unpruning when needed.
3.2 light nodes are designed to run on ramdisk/NVMe/SSD as election nodes, and full nodes run on HDD as backup nodes.
3.3 Rough IO performance on different device: 10k+ txs/s (ramdisk), 2k+ txs/s (NVMe), 1k txs/s(SSD), hundreds txs/s(HDD).
4.
Bandwidth Saving: election on block will be changed to election on fork, save up to 90% bandwidth cost.
5.
Custom Data Field: the protocol will add a custom variable-length data field. This field can be used to take extra infomation(e.g. transaction notes, order number, user id).
6.
Privacy: mixer addon can be developed based on the custom data field. Third party will be happy to develop and run a mixer to get more users and more node reward. An offical implementation may also be developed if necessary.
7.
Distribution 7.1 All coins are generated by node reward.
7.2 New generated coins of each year:
1st year: 40M,
2nd year: 30M,
3rd year: 20M,
4th year: 10M,
from 5th year: about 5% coins
8.
Airdrop 8.1 Airdrop is randomly distributed based on the total online time of the node, that is, the higher online time, the higher probability of getting airdrop.
8.2 Airdrop will last 4 years, the approximate amounts by time:
1st quarter of 1st year: 7M,
2nd quarter of 1st year: 4M,
3rd quarter of 1st year: 3M,
4th quarter of 1st year: 2M,
2nd year: 5M,
3rd year: 2M,
4th year: 1M.
8.3 To anti sybil attack, in first 2 quarters, only invited nodes can get airdrop. And after then all nodes can get airdrop.
