Auxiliary Proof-of-Stake Flowchart:
Thank you all for waiting, the flowchart that explains how the AuxPos will work is ready. This technology will require a hardfork, but this won't happen for a few weeks. The main idea here, is that we want investors in other projects to see what we are doing, and leverage their holdings by staking Graph. This will make it so they have to purchase Graph to leverage their SDC, BC, Doge, Crave, and so forth. In order to make up for this inflation, individuals will be burning Graph when arbitrage opportunities arise. Graph holders will also want to purchase coins from other projects, which should stimulate their economies as well.
We will also be releasing a new wallet with a lot of functionality very soon. There will also be a paper wallet generator and other things delivered to meet the May 15th deadline. Right now we are finishing the wallet statistics and ads in wallet.
Thanks.One problem I see with this setup is how is it possible to pay for holding across chains without a centralized setup? For example, the chart says I could prove I own some crave by a signed message, but this requires a current and valid crave blockchain to verify. Now, if I am to get paid in graph, how is the graph block chain going to verify my ownership of crave?
The only technology I see being developed for this type of thing is blocknet but you have no blocknet coins listed. Interchain communication is not a trivial thing.
Some clarity on this issue would be appreciated. If you come back and say you are going to use blocknet, then my question is why are blocknet coins and blocknet itself excluded from your list?
[addendum]Nevermind it is centralized accountability according to the chart:
"Graph's online wallet will monitor proof of ownership in other currencies, and render the encrypted key useless if the balance is reduced."
I think this is fine for the short term (3-6 months), given the current limitations of interchain communication. However, I do not see this as a long term (years) solution. I hope the devs will soon address this weakness because it will strengthen these plans and this coin considerably.
Very good post. When we were originally planning this, the Graph Betting Nodes were going to require other coin daemons installed on the same VPS to address this, and they could act like block explorers. This way, we could have nodes broadcast scanning for others, and we would always have a point of reference instead of hardcoding the daemon to do api calls to a block explorer (which would be sloppy, and unsecure).
As you know, we had to shift focus and put the betting nodes on the back burner so Graph wouldn't be for the sole purpose of gambling, so we decided to build this into the online wallet. We had the arbitrage and AuxPos planned, so we just changed up the roadmap. The other things we plan to do are even more ambitious, but we have a lot on our plates right now
Your post has merit, and I'm glad these discussions are happening. Decentralizing things is a must, and this was all supposed to be done by distributing the Graph Nodes, but until that happens we will have to use the online wallet.
