Agree with tema. Please add it in OP.

 Need add in OP

And it has an awesome bot. Definitely worth joining!

Just figured id bump this, both tim and I are both there most of the time as well.

The big difference between us and Crave, is crave was a scam, and the dev ran.  We are still here and still building software and integrations

I know of users who have successfully staked rads on a pi. I personally have not done it, so I can not be of any more help than that.

Can I stake this coin on a raspberry pi3?

Greetings!

Last update we mentioned that there were some some new functions we wanted to tell you about, but were not quite ready, but now they are.

One of the challenges that has plagued many traditional blockchain based projects has been the difficulty of adoption. The larger business world is understandably wary of bitcoin and other blockchains, due in part to the complexity of the currently existing infrastructure and concerns about taxes and finance compliance. Having and managing a wallet with some coins or other blockchain assets has been a de facto necessity for a company looking to implement trustless distributed blockchain based solution. We have developed a solution.

Delegate Fees

   Using the Delegate Fee system, a business or other entity can use all the functionality of the Radium SmartChain, without worrying about the extenuating complexities of wallets and exchanges.
   
   Lets consider Bob’s Business. Bob has some important files, perhaps a contract or a deed to some land that he wants to prove he has ownership of. Bob also does not want to buy or own any cryptocurrencies. Using a Delegate Fee enabled version of the SmartChain, Bob can generate a valid Radium public/private key pair and build standard Smart Transactions to create an identity, record a fingerprint or a note.

   Alice is a Delegate Fee provider. Alice and bob make a deal, and in exchange for a fiat currency (or snacks), Alice will add the required Radium fees to Bob’s transaction and send it to the Radium blockchain. Bob is happy because he was able to create an identity and verify his files without the complication of wallets and coins. Alice is happy because she got some local currency (or snacks) in exchange for paying Bob’s fees.
   
   Delegate Fee providers will also require a Delegate Fee enabled version of the SmartChain, and a local wallet with some Radium coins. Because Bob does not use a synced version of the SmartChain, Alice as his Delegate Fee provider will run the standard tests and checks to make sure that the Bob’s Smart Transaction is valid and will be accepted by the SmartChain. If there is a problem with Bob’s transaction, Alice would refuse to pay the fee, and notify Bob of the issue so it could be corrected.


But where is 3.0?

     Good question!  I have been working hard building and testing the delegate fee protocol, so that it could be included in the 3.0 version. I want to get to it just as bad as you, because that means we can take a short break, hopefully over the Christmas holidays.  There are a few more little things that need adding, such as upgraded notifications, however I am very happy with the current progress. We keep a public list of what needs to be done, what exactly we are working on, and what we have accomplished on Trello.  So, please feel free to come by and check on us from time to time by clicking here!

New Website:
   
    Our website, https://projectradium.org has been updated and is now live! We will continue adding additional documentation as it is developed.

Alpha Testing

     As a part of our continued Alpha testing and development, we have made the following improvements:

          - Bug fixes
          - Significantly improved the memory usage while hashing large files
          - Removed file size limitation for 32 bit builds.
          - Built encoding maps for Cyrillic languages (won’t be implemented till sometime after 3.0)  


Until next time,

          The Project Radium Team

Hello again friends!
     It has been longer than I had hoped since our last update, but I wanted to wait until we have a few more things finished to tell you about. Thanksgiving weekend in the USA is a major holiday where we stay home from work, and celebrate the good things that have happened over the past year. It also gives us more time to code and write updates!

Alpha Testing
     As I’m sure many know, we are in the process of alpha testing 3.0, but what exactly does that mean? Over the past 2 weeks or so, other users have been testing, finding bugs, and providing feedback on the look and feel of the software. The alpha builds are finally fully functional and run smoothly on the testnet. Every time a new bug is found, we fix it, make a new build, and send it back out for more testing. We have been through 3 rounds of this process so far, and the bugs are getting much fewer and farther between. This is an important yet tedious process, because as developers, we become so accustomed to our code that we overlook things that are a problem to end users. Anyone interested in testing and providing feedback should pop into the slack channel, and request the latest build.

SmartChain Improvements Completed
     Based on feedback from alpha testing, we have added the following improvements to the SmartChain:
          + Streamlined the auto refill system, eliminating the need to wait for coins to be moved from one address to another before performing an operation.
          + Fixed scaling on all windows, so maximization and shrinking works without distorting contained elements.
          + Added more informative error messages.
          + Reduced CPU usage by 89%.

SmartChain Pricing Changes
     After a lot of debate, math, and dull pencils, we have decided that the fees for the SmartChain were too high to sustain any significant amount of growth. The price of recording hashes or notes has been adjusted downward, and is now also based on the block reward. As the block reward decreases over the next year and a half, the prices will decrease accordingly.

     The minimum price for registering an identity has been reduced a minimum registration price of 5 Radium, to a minimum of 4x the block reward. “Minimum” price for registration means that this is the lowest amount someone would have to pay when creating an identity. Someone will have to pay more than the minimum, in the event that their account contains a lot of unusual characters, which requires additional space in the blockchain. This means that at the current block reward of 1 Radium, the minimum price to register an identity is 4 Radium. At the next decrease, the minimum price to register will be 3 Radium.  By the end of the reward reduction cycle around Winter 2017, the minimum fee will be 1 Radium. 

     The price for recording hashes and notes has been reduced from 1 Radium per data address, to 1/10th of the block reward per data address. This drop allows the SmartChain to remain competitive for proof-of-existence and as a data verification solution.

Stay Tuned
     We had a few more things we wanted to include in this update, but unfortunately are not quite ready.  Half of the next update is already typed, we just need to finish testing and finalize a few minor details. .


     Until next time,
          The Project Radium Team
