We have prepared the new version of our WPhttps://xdna.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/XDNA_Whitepaper_2.0_ENG.pdfhttps://xdna.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/XDNA_Whitepaper_2.0_RUS.pdfWe pointed out all the innovations and changes that have occurred in our wonderful project in the short time that it successfully exists in order to adapt to the emerging threats to our stability and further successful existence!The problem (July 2018): due to the emergence in the market of such a nascent type of computer technology as FPGA, XDNA project was faced with a dangerous situation in which at a fairly high level of daily emissions more than 80% of the hashrate belonged to one of the largest plants on the planet with FPGA, configured for mining Keccak algo.
The solution (July 2018, implemented 6.08.18): New algorithm, created from scratch by the team of developers of XDNA and the support of the development team Z-ENEMY, the first on the market true FPGA-resistant algorithm:
HEX.
After its implementation, we solved the problem that arose before us, protected the interests of honest GPU miners of our project and defended one of the main principles of the Blockchain projects - decentralization of the network, bringing it to a fundamentally new level.
The algorithm was subsequently recognized by many respected publications and Crypto figures as one of the most secure and promising for the GPU POV market in 2018, and such a well-known resource as
Whattomine.com added it immediately to the main page of its service, even when it was running only XDNA.
Economic fork "CutTheGun" with update 1.3.0Problem (occurred-September 2018):Like any innovators, we were not immune to the possible problems that our innovations could cause. As the first months of existence showed, the algorithm of dynamic change of the block reward of Bitgun did not fully protect the interests of miners, as well as investors, since in the realities of a wary and depressed market there were some doubts about the feasibility of investing in the project because of its potentially Hyper-emission nature. We put this issue to an open vote among all our community on all our media and offered some options to optimize this situation.
- As a result of the chosen, most promising option, we began a time-consuming process of code development and competent implementation of these changes in the live blockchain.
- Finally, we implemented the latest update, 1.3.0, which happened without any excesses.
The essence of this change is based in 2 principles: 1) We created the mechanism of natural deflation, wherein the block reward at all Bitgun levels reduced by 6.94% every month for the next 2 years (or 24 months)
2) We changed the % of the block reward distribution between miners and investors, slightly reducing the reward of miners and significantly increasing the reward of MN investors
As a result of our work we have reduced the total project emissions by more than 400%! From 366,000,000 to 80,260,000 ! We added two new areas of the development -
XDNA Creation and
XDNA Research, in addition to
XDNA Foundation, which nevertheless still remains the main aim for the our project. Read more in the Whitepaper.
Soon we will update the WP in other languages and will notify you about it!
