great job, cant wait to see it working

Actually no, we aren't.

We aren't being paid; this is all volunteer work because we believe in the work we do.



That said, we have, do, and will deliver, as I'm sure most of you have come to understand Smiley

Why is this announcement so important for most cryptocoins?


Some people seem to not get the importance of these new announced features.

Picture this: you're trying to get someone to use a cryptocurrency

You: "This cryptocurrency is sooooo cool, you should check it out, I will send you some (insert cryptocurrency you want)"
Him: "Oh cool, I just downloaded the wallet, my address is (insert address)"
You: "Ok, I send it to you"

5 mins pass by

Him: "WTF dude I thought you said this was fast, I still didn't get it"
You: "I send it to you, look (insert coinexplorer txid)... Ooh wait, is it synced?"
Him: "Synced? what's that? Oh now I see that little bar."
You: "Yeah it usually takes 8-10 hours"
Him: "WTF... this is lame, I'm going back to (insert stupid game)"

With the Instant Sync Technology (IST) you will see incoming transfers instantly, as fast as you would see them with a normal synced wallet. Even during the syncing process the new transactions will be coming in.
You know the pain of syncing an older coin like Bitcoin/Litecoin of even Dogecoin? Well take the time it would take for you to do that on average and then divide it by 20/30, that's how long it will take with the Rapid Blockchain Download (RBD). The older a coin gets, the bigger the blockchain, the longer it takes. Other coins will have no option other than to implement something like this.

I hear you coming: what about Litewallets? That's a solution right?
Most of them are not userfriendly, also when you have a PoS coin that doesn't really apply, it doesn't help your network be secure since it only downloads headers. We do however offer people to just use Pandabank Lite, since we want to provide something useful to every type of user.


I've been testing it a lot and it's really cool and really fast, but I'm already used to it now sadly Wink So I'm already looking forward to the next feature!

Such tease
Haha, in perfect ozzke style! Cool

---
I really don't get how someone would *not* get it.
Well only if that someone is looking for the workng things/asking the wrong questions.

I like how Pandacoin has a plan. Brb, sending this month's payout to Kraken.

Major PandaBank Patch (v3.0.0) Preview

Pandacoin (PND) Development Team is proud to reveal our upcoming first major update to PandaBank which highlights our intention of once again redefining how cryptocurrencies should be – simple and easy to use. By focusing on providing an optimal user experience for those that are new to cryptocurrencies, we will be setting the benchmark on how all main ‘crypto-wallets’ should function in the future, in order to truly obtain a global mass appeal.

PandaBank will be the world’s first cryptocurrency main storage client with the ability to switch to a lightweight version of the client, ‘PandaBank Lite’. Pandacoin’s main storage mode will be called ‘PandaBank Hybrid’, integrated with ‘Instant Sync Technology’ (IST) and ‘Rapid Blockchain Download’ (RBD); allowing new Pandacoin users to immediately synchronize with the blockchain and see/utilize their Pandacoins right after installation of the client, and reducing the time to download the entire blockchain from 4 to 24 hours, down to 5 to 15 minutes.

Patch v3.0.0 is scheduled for full release within 7 days.

Cryptocurrency for the masses,

The Pandacoin Development Team



Another case of the PND devs trying to make a crypto worthy of real world uses. For those of you still doubting PND, watch out, you may get egg on your face.  Grin

This is nifty, I love the idea!

Nifty? Tongue it's completely rewriting a big part of the code and improving it in every aspect Wink
but great improvements take time to develop but you know: we deliver  Smiley
If Bitcoin would implement this properly you could sync the full wallet in 2-3 hours (depending on your internet speed)

Oh my! This is amazing news!! Very impressive work devs

This time it'll be as easy as:
1. compile
2. run
Aww, c'mon guys, I waited for you to catch on it!
3. Huh?
4. Profit!

some of us are very busy working  Tongue
Yeah, me too, but

Great release.
This would be a really useful feature with the mobile client.
Waiting to try it.

this has nothing to do with mobile client
i think most people dont understand how huge this is  Roll Eyes
great job devs  Kiss

Does this mean the mobile client dont have to sync the whole block chain to your device, before start using it.
I thought this will reduce the footprint of the mobile client on the device.
may be I am wrong  Roll Eyes

They're speeding up the syncing speed ON TOP of the lightweight wallet they're gonna release. (Meaning the faster syncing speed is not because of the lightweight wallet but the actual core wallet). This is groundbreaking!

Correct. This way our users can see and utilize their Pandacoins right after installation, and very quickly be able to participate in earning interest AND help secure the Pandacoin network to prevent 51% attacks!

All without relying on relying on a liteweight client. Any proof of stake based cryptocurrencies that survive in the long run will inevitably have gigabytes upon gigabytes of blockchain data to download, similar to Bitcoin today. There will inevitably be a large chunk of new users that will want to opt for a liteweight wallet just because they want to be able to use their coins ASAP.

However, this would mean they can't earn interest nor help secure the network.  
So we basicly get a full wallet with the speed of a lite wallet, that's nice (+ the lite wallet of course). But I'd be interested in knowing that is it technically possible to make a lite wallet that earns interest and helps secure the network? As like you said, at some point we will have big blockchains taking gigabytes of space and it would be nice to be able to stake without the need to download all that (even if it's done really fast).

I'm not a very technical person but from what I understand it's not easy to do. To make sure the network is secure you need people with full blocks. Lite wallets don't download the full blockchain but only the headers of the block. Maybe there is a way but I don't think there's an easy solution.
