You should strain the test net similarly to the recent bitcoin 'stress test', see how it handles  Wink

Will accept all technical direction, natmccoy. IndiaMikeZulu focusses on community development. We do have a coupla issues to resolve, but my thought is to facilitate Prototanium's price-discovery, get a market going, figure out what comes next.

Two 20-P amounts already disbursed.

Not a bad idea at all--this is nerd stuff after all, its meant to be played with.

If anyone else wants some Pr, message me, I have a couple more to swap--but they are now going for 1:100 Un to Pr ratio.

Also, if you're a long time Un person, PM me for a few free Pr--as IMZ is doing, I've set aside some of mine to share with Un fans!

LOL.
Like it or not, crypto is still a nerd toy.
Like it or not, you're all early adopter nerds.

If Hagbard is interested in expanding his education on an interesting aspect of cryptocurrency and bringing it back to share with the Un community, I say enjoy and learn along with him.
This may just be an interesting experiment, or down the road it may point the way for important use cases for Uno.

I don't know of any other cryptocurrencies that have actual working sidechains yet, do you?

Am I too late to buy/obtain any? I just got home and getting it built.

EDIT: Forget the previous address I posted, I encoded it incorrectly.

if you guys are excited and interested to play with this i say "great!"

I'm a bit embarrassed to say, though, that after everything you've all said i still don't get it.  so i'll just be happy that you're all happy to have a new toy to play with and go about my business holding Un Smiley

Also, let me say, I'm over the moon with joy that you're here and engaged with us, Hagbard.  I think you're a really talented and intelligent guy with awesome ideas!  hope ur having fun being back in crypto  Grin Cool

No, they are one in the same chain. Look at the 'getpeerinfo' from one of the clients and you'll see Un-0.10.0 and Un-0.10.1 mixed in with the Pr-0.10.1 clients. They are separate clients, the same chain.

OK, I follow, so I was correct earlier - a new client for the Un testnet "branding" the coins as Prototanium?

So again its not a sidechain it is the testnet chain and has no actual relationship to the Un chain?

I guess you're right, sorry for wasting your time trying something new.

You didn't waste my time at all, I just wanted to be sure I correctly understood what I was looking at.

Ok good, I don't want to cause waves!

@HagbardCeline

I think this is cool stuff.  I like that the test net has it's own label, as far as I know this is a new thing no other coin does.

It puts the fUN in UN.  (get it like fake UN).  Sorry.  I like pUNs.  Roll Eyes WARNING :: UN is NOT cross compatible with fUN

The negativity is just a reflection of how ardently conservative the general community is.  

(Which is a good thing unto itself ... just that in general we piss on any and all adaption/innovation)

I don't understand how this is hard to understand in 2015. I guess nobody has used a coin's testnet. It's simply "fake" coins to play with for testing purposes. If you just want to play around with UNO but not spare your real coins, then you can test mine the testnet, send coins for testing without worry of losing your Unobtanium. If you don't want to play with test coins from the testnet blockchain, then do nothing with it.

No, i totally get all that.

I also sorta think humans will take a gamble and 'invest' something something proto, just in case. Which DOES subtract from potential Uno purchases. It is what ever.

I just don't see it as any sort of perk to Uno, it does what for Uno exactly? Perhaps it won't shit all over Uno, hyperbole is just more exciting to read. It won't bolster it in any sense.

Hell, was there no ultimate goal when Uno came to be? It was a bit more theatrical in release but the spirit was the same, or that is how i feel anyway.

I am here for monetary reasons, as are most people. Some people dig the tech and enjoy it, not trying to shit on that. It is cool, you guys totally give birth to the next generation of application.

I guess i was just expecting something different. I hope i am being shortsighted with all of this and will look like an ass in the future.

You can't send Pr to an Un mainnet addy--they don't use the same leading bit in the address (u vs U)

my read (layman):
uno testnet = PRo ... just different skins ... "completely cross compatible"

it is not UNO

A = UNO
B = uno testnet & PRo

blockchain A [is not equal to] blockchain B  ... (u vs U)

blockchain B is the sandbox to test new code.
Will investors buy blockchain B (subject to random tests)?  The lab rat so to speak ... maybe but it must compete with 600 other cryptos.

Again, when BTC-testNET or Doge-testNET starts trading then maybe there is potential for brand dilution.  But until that day "Proto" is just a cool feature of the UNO arsenal.

Can you expand on the bit in bold?

Do you mean you can send Pr coins to a Un client? and vice versa?

Yes, that's correct. Pr and Un/testnet are completely cross compatible.

You can't send Pr to an Un mainnet addy--they don't use the same leading bit in the address (u vs U) but from the Un testnet to the Pr mainnet and back again works perfectly!

Sorry to come off curtly--I'm not trying to dilute or take anything from Un, just give some new things to play with as Un development has moved slowly in my time away. Smiley



OK, if I understand you correctly this is NOT actually the Un testnet but rather it is a parallel chain of the Un testnet?  i.e. there are two separate blockchains (Pr and Un testnet) and transactions can be sent between the two?

Oh come on now, have some levity.

Yes, its simply a new client that uses the Un testnet chain as its main chain. You can send coins cross chains without issues. Its not designed to replace Un at all; its not shitting on your Un, it won't dethrone Un's position as a leading crypto-currency--its simply a new way to access the Testnet and enjoy mining again on a coin that's established. My post made this clear--or at least I thought it had.

Its not really not designed to do anything of the sort you 'doom and gloom' type think--just a way to use an established blockchain from an established coin in a new way and side-by-side with the original client. I'm not targeting anything else so please, if you don't like it, ignore it--its not anything deeper.

Like it or not, I think we're on the cusp of cryptocoin mass adoption and die off. The coins that will die off already are; the coins which will survive are those like Un that are merged and secure. As coins get more and more entrenched, why not mine some testnet sidechains of some of your favorites? Pr simply makes it easier for people to do so, and easier to build services and apps on as its got main-net features.

1. yes it is a 'Nerd' toy
2. yes (i hope) if sidechains become a thing then UNO has it's cake and can eat it too.  [all clutter goes into the test.net & UN.net stays virgin pure rare crypto small blocks only] ... this is 2-3 years down the road stuff, but coded/released today.
3. gift horse, looks in the mouth and grumbles, WTF?
4. when test net LTC is trading top of the boards then you can bitch and moan about  "oh great now PR competes with UN" ... until then see point#1
5. remember when we forked for MM, and things were kinda fubar, well test.nets are for not do it that way.  ALL 'PRO' coins have test nets!
6. take a deep breath, relax, it is just test.net with a brand name slapped on it, cool one if you ask me.
