SK-1024 (New GPU Mining Algorithm)
Skein-1024 will be hashed to Keccak-1600 to produce an SK-1024 hash.


Prime Search (New CPU Mining Algorithm)
 This was created for the betterment of Mathematics and Number Theory. CPU miner will look for dense prime number clusters from a 1024 bit hash (~308 digits). This will help in the proving / disproving of The Twin Prime Conjecture, Polignac's Conjecture, and The Hardy-Littlewood Conjecture.

Sadly new algo usually mean poor stock miner for public and highly optimized private miners for dev's and anyone with deep enough pockets to buy optimized miners, which does not help distribution of coins at all. I'd like to be proved wrong...
I search an optimized miner for nvidia (I pay I decide what I want  Grin),
can you tell me where I can buy one ?  Grin


However, I don't see the interest is releasing a coin which does both prime numbers (not quite cpu only, it is or will be gpu for 5-10% fee to claymore or anybody else) and a new algo for gpu...
This will be a problem as a few will rape the "cpu" channel with gpu's too and making a killing compared to anyone running on the "gpu" channel.

This clearly the part I don't understand in your plan. This primenumber things shouldn't even be here as the sk1024 is interesting enough by itself. For me, this just look like a back-door for making fast profit...





by the way when does it launch ?

as far as i know there is no gpu miner yet and they are working to make one
it's about the trust, you can trust the dev team and accept what they are telling/offering you or not
nobody can prove that you are wrong or right
it's your choice to make, do trust or don't

I should clarify by dev i do not implicitly mean coin dev, there are a number of devs who could easily optimize the public code upon release.

If you fail...just dont fail again
So, it is starting today?
We are currently testing. A new and final launch date will be announced in the next few days (pending test results). This is the plan for launch:


I just started a round of private testing, based on results I will release a testnet only client for everyone to hop on. After client is deemed stable, I will then release main net binaries with a time-lock for a set launch time. This will let everyone get setup before launch. Finally, I will release the source code at launch [I am keeping it private until launch to protect the time-lock].

As for the miner It is in process and yes will be released before launch. Bitslapper is handling the GPU kernal and making progress, which is greatly speeding up the process.

I'll keep everyone posted on future progress,

~Videlicet


 If you would like to help test Videlicet will be releasing a testnet only client tomorrow. Please check the thread regularly for the new launch date.

Nice to see the development evolving.

Hopeful we see the miner and a testnet-only client a while before launch?

If you pull this off, this will be the fairest coin launch since Litecoin.

It is only a matter of time, my friend.

Well.......looks like I am def gonna miss the launch, but wanted to wish you all well with it!

What day will you be able to make the launch?

No problem, many servers still wait to test for you.

I sent you a PM earlier today, check your inbox.

~Videlicet

That's strange brother, definitely did not get a PM from you.......just double checked and nothing from you there. 

Will be leaving town tomorrow around noon pacific, back on Sunday....probably in the evening.

The PM was in response to Superxfast  Tongue

As for launch post Sunday, that's not a problem [wouldn't want you to miss out]. As I see it too, more testing = more stability

COOL!  I hope the launch gets delayed a few more days, have to go out of town this weekend and was upset I was going to miss the launch.....prob still will, but I can hope:-)

Development [Update] : Testnet launch [most likely today {edit: private testing in process} possibly tomorrow]. I am deciding for the last time, to give Coinshield the little extra time it needs for everything to be 100%. I hope everyone understands I keep extending the launch because there have been more things that needed tending. I am ensuring that I can be as thorough as possible, to get this done correctly [the first time]. Below you'll be able to read the list of how everything has finally settled, and what is still needing further development. Pending on how testing goes, Coinshield could launch in 2 days or 5 days. I hope to see some public involvement in the testing, to ensure the Coinshield Core is scrutinized from as many angles as possible. This way I can tend to any issues that may arise, so they do not become problems come launch time.

1. Fractional Rewarding - Finalized: Fractional Rewards are now based on excess created in block index. This allows Coinshield to break up excess into full rewards [~50 CSD]. This will distribute excess supply evenly to more miners, to have a more fair distribution. Due to the nature of the Fractional Excess System, if a miner manipulates their clock to the maximum allowed in Unified Time, they will create excess that will be given to other miners. This will prevent such an act.

2. Shield Target - Finalized: Shield target now works with the Fractional Excess system to deflate difficulty the moment there is excess. This helps the chain recover from long block times much more quickly. Currently fine tuning the parameters to ensure smoothest adjustments

3. CPU: Prime Channel - Finalized: Prime channel finds dense prime clusters off of an SK-1024 hash produced from nBits and hashMerkleRoot. The prime offset is determined by nNonce. This method prevents anyone from submitting just any prime, they would have to build a block and find the prime from the hash in order to successfully generate CSD. Difficulty is represented by a decimal value [ex. 1.5867] where the whole number is the cluster size, and the decimal is the fractional remainder of last composite in cluster. It runs about 1 PPS [Primes Per Second] and 600 SPS [Searches Per Second] per core and finds a cluster of difficulty 2.0 every 150 seconds.

4. GPU: SK-1024 - Miner: In-Process - Core Finalized: Normal methods of hashing, except miner has to hash 1024 bits, not 256 bits.

5. Json RPC Server - In-Process: Updating several commands such as "getmininginfo", "getblocktemplate", "submitblock". Adding commands such as "listprimes", "getprime ", "getlastprime", "getlastblock ". Everything else functions correctly in RPC server [as far as I've seen].

6. Private Keys - In-Process: Using largest curve group NID_sect571k1 or NID_sect571r1 to suit our needs quite well. This provides double the security compared to previous curves used [last issue is serialization from disk].

7. Coinshield-Qt - In-Process All major components work such as signing message, address generation, send transactions, etc. There were a couple issues that had to be resolved, but it is now fully functional. It is still in-process because it is "a little rough around the edges" in the sense of column default sizes being slightly off [because addresses before upgrade were 160 bit]

8. Unified Time - Semi-Finalized: Works perfectly for any node. Making small decisions as to how often unified time is checked for consistency or what the maximum allowable drift should be [to account for propagation time]. Unified Time updates seed from peers successfully if UTM seed goes down, adding other small layers of security such as preventing people from flooding network with a false time seed, or localized clock manipulators [check clock to itself, if it changes more that +- 60 seconds, add temporary offset until unified time is updated].

9. Proof of Stake - Semi-Finalized: Tuning the modifier time, split/combine ratio, yearly output.


I appreciate the continued support through the development of this project.

edit: to clarify our position concerning donations
By the nature of how Coinshield works, and the position we have taken, we are unable to accept donations. We hope everyone understands our responsibility to absolute non-bias, in order to make this system successful.


Wait. Integrity? That's not how crypto works, is it?

I can confirm that he refused the BTM I offered also.

So I'll help him with early testing instead Smiley

Videlicet,

I would like to tip you with 80 Bitmarks out of respect for your hard work and approach to the development of, and communication about, your CoinShield project.

This represents 4 full blocks and is 1/3rd of the coins I own, hopefully one day it will serve to be of some value to you.

If you pass me a Bitmark address I will send you the coins.

Keep up the good work, innovation and hard work are to be admired.

Mark

Wow, it is wonderful to know there are good people on this planet, Thank You Mark.

~Videlicet

I'll send you a PM
