LOL!! Sure...consider it just a compliment.

I like community coin with serious dev, hope this could be one of it...so let me say I approve all you said about the coin.

Thank you very much! You're support will make this project that much better.

We will also start a mining pool for this project. 

Goodluck!

The latest ASIC proof version of CryptoNight, which I believe is V8.
I don't think there's a way to make it CPU only mineable, but CPUs are very strong in this algorithm, so the cost-effectiveness of having a multiple GPU rig won't be worth it to most miners.
This promotes decentralization in mining during the initial stages because only one computer can be a miner at a time, before larger farms will (if ever) be set up.

What exact CN variant will you be using? An initial CPU-only mining period might entice additional miners.

Though I am flattered, please never never never use my interest as a positive datapoint in your fundamental analysis.

I have been very wrong many times throughout the years.

Interesting, everything is by voting. this is called the coin of democracy 

Votes open around 8PM GMT and end when 100 votes are reached or the votes level off.


Thank you for your interest in the project!
I will open a Discord server after all voting is complete, but I'd rather people use this forum as communication, since it keeps the topic bumped (which will accrue more interest).

Stroke of luck! hanging around on the first page of btctalk and gettin a good pick is not so easy in these days. Notsofast interest is a plus.
Will be one of your follower for sure,privacy and anon optional tx are the real deal for the next big coin.
Suggest to open a discord server when you can...

What time does it start? Exact time

Voting has opened for total supply, please vote at: https://www.strawpoll.me/17071601

I'm not going to re-brand Mono as a resurrection of VCash, but I would be open to incorporating the technologies it used. Once all votes are complete I'll begin development and let you know how well I can integrate the code into a CryptoNote protocol based currency.

I agree with notsofast, Vcash was a very interesting privacy oriented tech that die unfortunatly. Imho there are very few alternatives being explored in the privacy centered crypto ( mostly Monero or Zcash variants ) and a ressurection of an alternative seems very interesting.

CryptoNight seems like it has the overwhelming majority of votes, so I'll be closing the mining algorithm vote today at 8PM, when the new vote opens.

Off to bed now, thanks for all the replies to the thread. Vote at 8PM GMT today.

There is no minimum amount of Mono required to participate in community votes! Just using IP duplication prevention in Straw poll is fine for now.
Maybe later in the projects life cycle I'll try and develop a system to "vote" with Mono, but that isn't a primary goal at the moment.


Thanks very much for your interest! Every community member is valued


I'll do some research into Vcash and see what technologies can be incorporated into Mono in the future.
And no worries, this is what I want the project to be! An actual discussion of what would make the perfect project with input from all members of the community.
As for start up mining and expenses, I'm hoping to have a very small premine and later fund development from donations through community members. Another idea was using a "developer" mining pool that some miners could use which gives 5% of everything mined to the development team (currently only me), which I think would be a fair way to allow users to choose whether they want to support the development of the coin a little or just mine it normally.

Cool. The reason I wanted to take the time and spell it out bluntly is I think you've put forth a design aesthetic I haven't seen yet, and that's something a lot of projects struggle with, even tokens that have raised multi-millions skimp on unity of design aesthetic. So if you have dev chops backing that up, excellent.

The Vcash ideal sprang to mind as there's been a heavy focus on cryptonight-algo launches this year. End to end privacy and the right to remain anonymous is (in my humble opinion) going to be the next forefront requirement from cryptocurrencies, considering it'll be blowback from the overreaching regulation we're seeing right now. A Vcash-tech resurrection would be a welcome alternative from the proliferation of cryptonight coins. Vcash was an early branch off from the anon tech tree that sadly died a premature death from early whales who accumulated it and suppressed the price to get more; the dev couldn't realize the value he was building into the coin, in the marketplace by selling off what he mined himself.

Some projects get around this by paying themselves part of the premine or a hardcoded part of every block reward. If you can mine on your own alongside everyone else during a fair PoW launch that bodes best but it's extra effort and cost on the lead dev's part.

Thanks for sparking up the conversation as Bitcointalk has of late devolved into "here's translation give bounty" and "here's a pool". Nothing wrong with that but it's kind of the lowest level of engagement.

I'm really interested

In case of request to new resources using the vote, for each resources will there be a minimum amount of Mono so that you can participate in the vote?

Yeah, I see what you mean. What would be some good ways to entice more votes?
I see how everyone would be involved in the mining phase and such but the pre-stage just needs more attention before it can really take off.
