What do you mean by saying 'distributed automatically'?
Will the remaining coins be distributed to current holders?


It will be mined by skywire miner // device that will provide decentralized network some  kind VPN network / alternative web network

Will be interesting to see whats needed to build one by our own


Just search for "skycoin mesh" to get all info  Grin

https://blog.skycoin.net/overview/skywire---skycoin-meshnet-project/

https://blog.skycoin.net/statement/skywire-miner-hardware-for-the-next-internet/

Reverse engineer this "standalone ISP", basically a router with 8 CPU boards with SSDs for fast storage...
Plus some custom firmware + Linux OS to manage the node.







But maybe this will be useful: https://skywug.net/forum/Thread-DIY-Miner-A-complete-guide-for-Hardware-Software-configuration


Any statistics or idea about the profitability of the SkyMiner? It looks pretty cool!

The ROI will be 2 years, as far as I understood.

IMO $2000+shipping is way too high for 8 Orange Pis, PSU and Ethernet hub. Oh, I forgot cables and other assembling stuff. It would be better if the developers published DIY guide and their custom firmware for Pis and router (if necessary).

That indeed seems way overpriced. If the devs don't publish it, hopefully someone else can reverse engineer it and share it with the community.

Synth speaks on the Obelisk consensus algorithm. The focused interview covers how Obelisk works and the social, economic, and technical problems it solves. This is a particularly interesting matter in the wake of the recent highly publicized 51% attack on the Ethereum Classic network, a top 20 CMC POW coin.

As mentioned by Shy Ronnie, Skycoin's online hardware vendor has launched, offering official Skyminers for purchase. More products are coming soon, including the much anticipated Skywallet hardware wallet.
https://medium.com/skycoin/skycoin-hardware-store-launch-4d35f81f9b28

PySkycoin version 0.25.0 has been released. PySkycoin is a Python library that adds powerful functionality on top of Skycoin's blockchain API. A big step towards adoption, PySkycoin makes it easy for developers to build applications that interface with the Skycoin blockchain and ecosystem.

Skycoin's December community update has been released.
https://medium.com/@Skycoinproject/december-2018-community-update-3b7ef92353fd
The article details developments of both the project and it's community. Among items of note are:

The upcoming release of Skywire mainnet and the Obelisk consensus algorithm. A recent article by CryptoDiscipulus goes over the specifics of how Obelisk works.
https://medium.com/@cryptodiscipulus/obelisk-vs-proofofwork-ba5539986232

The first edition of the CX programmers guide for CX version v0.5.18.

Photos of the Skywallet hardware wallet, nearing completion.

Also, I would like to thank Pick A Crypto.com for the project analysis that has been released on their site.

This is the concluding part of the the Skycoin in Review 2018 .
Happy new year guys

 https://medium.com/@bivins1/the-year-in-review-for-skycoin-2018-part-2-27898487ca39

I read both parts... and after 7 years all you got = wallet + tricked out Raspberry Pi - John McAFee = 0.

Seriously, it must be nice to jet around the world and hob nob with super geeks/creeps/freaks...
But until you actually stand up a working network... this project is nothing more than astroturf.




You should not claim to have read the articles, and in the next breath make false claims about the content of said articles. All anyone has to do is read them for themselves to see you are lying. Either post criticisms of the actual content or remain silent.

Has the so-called "synth fraud been solved?" Can we continue to develop it now?

The project has been and remains under continuous development while progress is ahead of schedule. The release of Skywire mainnet, Obelisk consensus algorithm mainnet, and CX integration is slated for Q1 2019.

Numerous sites keep track of development activity for crypto projects, they consistently rank Skycoin among the top. Ex:
https://coincodecap.com/
But it's better to visit the Github and see for yourself what's going on.
https://github.com/skycoin

Alhough it has nothing to do with Skycoin development, Synth has released some tweets relevant to the kidnapping case, it's under appeal.

Synth in his new interview by Crypto Rich giving clear insights about how the Skycoin ecosystem is being designed and where the project is headed in the coming year. This interview covers a lot of ground including:

The new hardware wallets and how they will integrate with the ecosystem.
The upcoming Skywire mainnet launch and some of the advantages it will provide over traditional internet services.
The recent release of the CX programming language and it's coming integration with the blockchain.
Details about how the Obelisk consensus algorithm functions and it's main net launch.
 
Synth goes into detail about how Skycoin defines an entirely new blockchain protocol that enables new applications for blockchain technology that weren't possible in the past. He also provides his perspective on how the cryptocurrency industry is changing and Skycoin's plans to apply blockchain technology in the infrastructure sector. He also has some crazy stories about the two weeks he spent with John McAfee and his planned presidential campaign.

Skycoin is hiring.

https://medium.com/@Skycoinproject/skycoin-call-for-developers-509b2ddb8760

There has been alot of progress this year, but a long way to go remains for the project in the coming year. Skycoin is a well-funded technology focused project that is looking to expand it's development teams across the various components of it's broad ecosystem.

skycoin 5 years now


It's true it's been 5 years and I'm surprised.
I almost got fooled by CoinMarketcap because there SkyCoin is listed there starting from April 18, 2017. LOL

Then I saw this Announcement made on December 22, 2013, 02:31:33 AM

Happy SkyCoin! Keep Spirit !!

Skycoin has released the first edition of it's manual for the powerful CX programming language. While being a fully general purpose programming language, CX introduces powerful security features that make it appropriate for building decentralized cloud computing applications and working with sensitive data such as cryptocurrency transactions. Features include:

CX is based on affordances, allowing the programmer to preemptively constrain and thus predict what their code will be able to do. This allows a genetic algorithm to be used to solve difficult problems or improve efficiency.  

CX provides both an interpreter for interactively coding via REPL, and a compiler for deployment.

Strict typing of variables.

Fully stateful and serializable into byte arrays. CX programs are able to be rolled back, instantiated or cloned; and subsequently deserialized on any platform with a CX interpreter/compiler.

Dear Skycoin community. We are pleased to inform you about our project https://skychats.top/ which logs all important telegram chats related to Skycoin. We believe that Skycoin Chats will be a valuable addition to the Skycoin ecosystem. During the work of the site, we have already received a large number of positive feedback from community members. The project is under active development. The project has its own team of programmers, ready at any time to solve new technical problems and make new improvements.

What is implemented at the moment:
You can read your favorite sites in a convenient form for you through https://skychats.top/
The site is optimized for work and on mobile devices. There is a search by keyword and date. It is possible to read the chat you want in your native language using Google Translate. The translation is not perfect, but it will allow you to receive the latest news as quickly as possible from the first sources. For example, you can use our site to read Chinese or Japanese versions of Skycoin telegram chats.

In the near future, we plan to add the ability to share a specific telegram post in social networks. On the one hand, this will allow you to share interesting content with your friends and subscribers, and on the other hand, it will positively influence the development of Skycoin’s popularity in general.

There is a lot of work ahead, we have planned a huge number of interesting and useful improvements. If you have any suggestions for improving our site, please write - we will try to take everything into account and use it in the further development of the site.

If you think that some important chat related to Skycoin is missing on our website, please write and we will add it.
