I just visited the idea website then downloaded the wallet and the node too. The synchronization process which I initially thought took a long time was very fast, maybe with the help of the node that I downloaded earlier. This project is very good for 2020 because the unique validation process plus this is very different from other altcoins.


Just got an invite code, download the software fully synched it and now I am on a candidate status next validation will happen 1/2/2020 9:30 pm on my computer I have no idea how this flip will be complete because there are no videos I just know I have to finish this in two minutes.
Questions: Any videos about flipping there are no videos on English about this, and how many coins can I earn if I have computer mining in 8 hours daily.

I agree that dev team should distribute or lock part of premine, and there should be some voting for this,
but we are still early and not yet ready for mainnet and wide adoption for more people.
There are still bugs that are solved all the time, but there is potential for real use cases and not just some fantasy story that most shitcoins have

Any bounty for this project??
Not any more, there was a competition for the best introductory video on youtube but it was completed recently.

Most people, including me can validate 2 nodes easily already, more time and I will have time for 3
I can do that too. If i get easy flips I'm done after 40 seconds but most often i get 1-2 dump flips on which i spend 1 min thinking about the story that is not there or thinking about which story will be chosen by network because both are possible. In most cases those flips do not reach consensus but sometimes consensus is made by 4 users and for such small group everything is possible. Having this extra time allows me to validate every time which won't be possible trying to validate 2 nodes. So I do agree that it is possible to validate 2 nodes in 2 min but not with 100% accurate. After 1-2 validation you will get dump flip and both accounts will be suspended. Then your next validation will look like poptok1's and your node and your stack will be gone.

I agree that the team should burn his premine down to 10-20% they even get rewards from the network for funding, it is only affecting future value IMO as people will never buy if the team can dump and drag the price to 0 at any moment, especialy if they are anonymous the risk is even higher. Because when you read the website they talk about a few whales owning all the coins with ethereum and bitcoin etc. and how Idena is different but this is exactly the same, even worse. After like 10 years their premine will still be 50% of the supply... I think it's better to have only 10% and real value and growth potential than all the cake worth nothing because the market is smarter now and nobody will buy this if they know how huge is the pre-mine. It is also impacting the rate of the network growth as a lot of people don't even care about the free coins when they see this.

Well after 8/8 successful validations i have some insights that would be worth discussing.
1- add an option that will allow cropping graphics from google - sometimes only part photo is useful in flip. It will make creating quality flips much easier.
2- 2 min is sometimes not enough. In fact after 8 validations I've never had 2 min. 1 min 4* sec that's my time since validation loads for 10-20 seconds. I think that 3 min will still not be enough to validate more than 1 account constantly (maybe once per 5 validations having 10 easy flips and this will not increase amount of validated accounts (3 successful validation before dead from 2 wrong)).
3- Big issue in my opinion are wasted invitations. I've sent 5 of them and only 1 succeed. I always send them before short interview (Do you have your node synchronized. Will you take part in validation. Do you know when it is. etc.). How about my invited user miss validation the invitation will come back so I could use it to invite 2 users for next epoch?

Well, network lost 10 participants this week and I can tell you why exactly it had happened.
Two minutes prior to validation, node disconnected and went out of sync.
Synchronisation finalised exactly the moment short session ended.  Undecided  that's it.
Strange coincidence that had nothing to do with internet connection itself, as it was working fine.

Not sure I'm interested in further mining, especially that I was suspended anyway.

If anyone would like to buy some 13.5K idena from me, let me know.

Interesting it's been a very long time since I became part of the mining and turn my attention on bounty campaigns and projects that are hosted in ERC20 I have bookmarked this thread and will wait for the new updates and see if I can be part of this mining pool.

If there is an invitation I'm open on it just send me one.

IDENA is worth nothing right now. It's in testnet.

It hasn't even been officially launched.  Roll Eyes


Why DNA is worth nothing? Because you said so?

Anything is worth something if someone else is willing to pay for it. Currently on OTC Chanel on discord there are buy offers 50-100 sat per DNA. So it is worth something.

"IDENA is worth nothing right now. It's in testnet. "

Enigma was worth 600 million $ in January 2018. This project was before testnet than! Enigma launched testnet in Jun 2018. There were dozens of projects in testnet phase that was worth more than 100 Million $.

IOST, IOTX, ZIL, THETA, ENIGMA, QLC, AE - those are only few coins out of dozens that was listed on binance, priced 60M $ - 1,2B $ while still being in testnet.

Dear Idena community,

We plan to release a new version of the Idena node tomorrow 19th of December after 14:00 UTC time.
It will be a hard fork. The miner status for all validated nodes will be deactivated.
Please be ready for an update.

Planned changes:
1. Invitation rewards will be paid during 3 epochs in a row proportionally to the invited person's age. The invitation rewards fund will be distributed as follows (starting with the next epoch):
- A reward for the second validation of an invitee is 3 times bigger than a reward for a validated Candidate.
- A reward for a Verified invitee is 6 times bigger than a reward for a validated Candidate.
Invitation rewards will be paid only if the invitation issuer is validated.

2. The validation date will be adjusted to Saturdays once the network reaches 9441 identities. The total epoch duration is limited to 91 days.

3. Flips distribution optimisation.

4. API-key parameter is required for the remote node.

5. Bugs fix

An additional announcement will be published in 1 hour before the release.

- the rhythm of growing is slow, but is flowing steadily. I have no problem with that (I am 7 epoch old, and I can invite every epoch). Invites will be valuable soon.  

Rhythm of growing is not that slow. We can observe ~10% network grow every epoch on average taking last 6 epoch into consideration.
I can invite every epoch too (as everybody) but most of my invites was wasted (2/6 succeed)

- The premine is awful, i agree with that. I expect a fork / clone of Idena soon enough because of that.

That's what scares me the most about IDENA.

1- 36 milion premine. (82% of all coins in hands of team now)
2- 12K coins from invitations
3- 5% of all new emitted coins goes to the team ~ 13k coins each epoch


12k+13k=25k coins each epoch goes to the team. Thats ~10%
I wonder how many potential new miners or old miners quit after seeing how insignificant their stack is in comparison to the team stack (82% of total supply).

Its a good way to prevent sybil attacks and let the network grow slowly. Senior participants have only 1 invite per round, and some of the invites you give are not validated. So we are growing super slowly.
Overall the system is quite nice. And is something new! i'm so bored of the same ideas again and again in the crypto - altcoin space.

In fact there is one person who invites more than 1 person per validation. Only during this epoch he received reward for 12 successful invitations.

Don't you think that 36 million coins from premint is enough? Could dev team let this network grow organic? 12k coins out of 41 472 (51 840 * 5 * 0,16) that was intended for rewards for successful invitations. That's 30% for dev member who give invitation code for everyone who ask on telegram. He does not even care to who he throws them because he has no limits. I have to examine every person to make sure he will not waste my invitation because i have only 1. If you think that network will grow too slow than give us 2 invitations per epoch instead of letting one person grab 30% of rewards.

So this basically requires a KYC in order to mine?

No, no KYC. Yo need to prove that you are human by doing something an AI can't do. That's all.

That's the beauty of it.

That and an invitation from someone already in the network. This is a good concept.  Cool
