Donating for the car fund.... It's not a TESLA, yet.   Keep up the good work EK and when this launches I have no doubt you'll be rolling in one.  Or at least we can help get your that $1k for the deposit on a model 3. 

Aha! Mainnet is ready? Wowww its very very very wonderful news. Thanks Guys.

Thanks EK, awesome work !

Congratulations ;-) Welcome to the Hero Club.

Logo Raw-PSD: https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-core/tree/master/logo-raw

If people are interested I can do a shirt / hat order with 1-2 colors and a logo. But first, I will need access to the transparent .psd / vector logo files if someone has them floating around.  Then I can produce a few samples and see which ones people like.

Edit: Oh shizz i just realized my account turned hero! 

You're the best! Really appreciate your hard work!

We really need this here: https://talk.elasticexplorer.org/

Thx EK !!! great work !

Many are confused about the terminology: What is a bounty fund, what is a pow fund, how are supernodes rewarded, ...

Here a first sketch about the XEL flows during the lifetime of a job! Feel free to do a better one.
I will make a second one not showing the XEL layer, but more the "information" layer (showing how jobs are splitted and what conditions make a bounty a bounty, and a pow a pow).

Hope someone comes up with some Elastic merchandise. From the day I order, I would run around in Elastic jackets waiving Elastic flags out of the windows of my car with a huge Elastic sticker attached to the trunk.

Now, back to work 

I own a shabby diesel car at the moment which doesn't really drive (and a long term rental, where I almost exceeded the maximum allowed mileage lol). Something with a lower carbon dioxide footprint would surely save some bears ;-)

I am right now moving away from the fixed fees and hard "pow and bounty" reward lower bounds. Over in the Elastic Forum people were right, that a hard lower bound could cause a lot of harmful effects and limit the "growth" of Elastic. Imagine, 1 XEL is "worth" (whoever determines that) 1 million bucks. Nobody would ever use Elastic again, if the minimum PoW price or the fee is 1 XEL.

We need flexible bounds - means: no bounds for the PoW and Bounty, and no limit for the fees at protocol level instead a "voting" mechanism by the peers which decide the lowest fee in XEL, for which are still willing to relay and include transactions in blocks.

Of course, the next challenge will be to avoid certain "DOS" attacks by harmful "block generators" and a "relay or not relay" strategy. But this, in a next step!

Many many changes, unvoid was right ... it's change day. So don't expect the github to work "out of the box" when checked out this evening.

Lol, EK you are the man! Hope you get that new ride you deserve brother.

Thank you again for being transparent and working super hard on this project.

In theory, it would require a hard fork.
But this is irrelevant, I am adding it now! ;-)

Could a feature like this be added after a first release with basic functionality? Would that require a soft- or hardfork?

I hope that I can finish the "new work types" today so that we can run some "real problems".

What I thought, because I have been experimenting with it lately, may be this:

New work type (verification routine does not need to run the entire program):
- Assume we have a very complex 3-SAT instance and we want to find an assignment to x variables, which "SATisfy" the boolean clause.
- Assume that it is way too complex to solve the instance in reasonable time (would take years) since it is NP hard and requires exponential time.
- You can reduce the 3-SAT instance to 2-SAT by only taking any two variables from each clause.
- 2-SAT can be solved in polynomial time, which is pretty fast
- Any solution to the 2-SAT instance is a valid solution to the 3-SAT instance, but not other way around. Means: the chances that our handcrafted 2-SAT is SATisfiable, is a lot lower.
- The 3-SAT instance is uploaded to the elastic network, and the random integers are used to generate one (random) possible 2-SAT instance (as described above) - here is the "bruteforce exploration" use case which works so well for ElasticPL. Then this 2-SAT instance is checked for satisfiability (polynomial 2-SAT algorithm).
- Maybe, if we are lucky, one node eventually generates a 2-SAT instance which is solvable, also solving the 3-SAT instance.
- Verification can be done pretty fast -> just evaluating a boolean formula without any kind of SAT solving involved

I would love to have something like this!!!
While using it for something different, we could solve problems encodable as Graph Coloring, Towers of Hanoii, Pigeon Hole Problems, and everything that is similar.

My personal opinion: Rendering is kindergarden compared to this  

And we need more interesting "apps"  

Looks like "update" day.

explorer also got some minor updates.

you guys are great!

i will donate some BTC and XEL too!

I have no BTC to spare. But, I would like to join in. I would want to Donate 5% of my XEL Holdings to EK the Day Mainnet is launched.

Cheers to everyone supporting XEL.
You guys are Awesome!
