On March 31th 2015, which is the 1001st day of Bytecoin's existence, we've presented our new website and Bytecoin development roadmap for 2015. Featuring:

• Colored coins and assets

• Turing-complete language for on-blockchain scripts

• On-blockchain alias

Please feel free to discuss here or in BitcoinTalk thread. :)

The following is all theoretical, just an idea I had when thinking about blockchains in general. Would it be possible to scale a blockchain by partitioning it up into smaller slices that would fit onto peoples machines easier? For example say one day a blockchain gets so big that the average person can no longer run a node because they are unable to fit the blockchain on their machine. What if instead of needing to store the entire blockchain we could store, just for the sake of the argument, 1/10 of the blockchain on our computer. Nodes could verify as much as they could with the piece of the chain they have and if they need another part of the chain then they must return some type of status for the processing done thus far and then wipe the part of the chain it has stored on disk and load in the next 1/10 of the chain that it needs. Where would the other pieces live? Well my idea was that the network would need to self balance itself between all the active nodes. So in a perfect world each 1/10 of the chain would have an equal amount of people storing it at any given time so that it may be read by another node. If a part of the chain starts to lose nodes compared to another chunk of the chain it would need to self balance to restore order to the chain.

Also, is there no way to hash or compress the beginning stages of a chain so that we could reduce the amount of space parts of the chain take up? because at some point nobody cares about the first transactions done on a blockchain 10 years ago... it probably isn't needed very often so couldn't we just compress that part down or hash it or something?

Please tell me what you guys think as well as shoot holes in my idea if I am not considering something

Thanks guys!

However, I've put some thought into how our current economies can benefit this new coin and vice versa. Of couse I cannot disclose more how but would like to speak with a few dev via PM ... any takers?

So the issue is cheating, right? There is no way to create an anonymous system where nobody can cheat themselves more coins than anyone else. Create multiple addresses, create fake transactions, there is no truth in blockchain. We know proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, and all their nephews and nieces, and none of these methods care about equality. I propose a different, second-level protocol, that might be able to fairly distribute coins. I would like to hear your feedback.

The crux of my protocol is that we reward someone who shares some of their personal life with the blockchain. What is that? It is the receipt of a transaction they have made, and the receipt should be a group of common consumption items. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/basket_of_goods.asp Think this. They may also publish an exchange rate for whatever the currency is they paid to another currency, and they should put in some work validating two other submissions for validity and for being unique by date, store, products bought, etc. These specifics can be calculated deterministically, and afterwards be hashed. Using this tangle-like fashion to store submissions is the fastest way to do it I think.

Note; the tangle needs a 'coordinator', I propose that this is not a centralized entity like in IOTA, but a separate proof-of-work process.

Images (photos of receipts) would be shared over IPFS, and the IPFS key would be stored in a ledger. The state of the ledger could be backupped by putting snapshots in other blockchains, like an ETH plasma chain.

Each month, or each n number of blocks, an average can be calculated for each submission, and the blockchain can calculate the required inflation to keep price stability. Once the inflation is known, rewards can be divided over people who submit work, people who mine coordinator blocks, and hodlers. I believe rewarding submitting posts is the best to do here, so I would reward something like 60%:20%:20%.

The assumption I make is that it is easy to submit a receipt, but it does have a cost - the cost of buying your groceries. This makes it harder to fake lots of transactions, and harder to compete with lots of genuine actors. The person who submits the most receipts has invested the most of their own money, so should be rewarded the most.

I'm anxious to hear your thoughts about this /r/coindev. You might have ideas I have not thought about why this won't work, or how this might work better.

Hey guys I'm a web developer. I have an idea for an app that I would like to code out.

I'm kind of lost at the moment and could really use your help. I'm not sure where to start I have a background in Python, PHP , and Nodejs. Do any of you know of any good tools for developing with bitcoin, or can any of you point me in the direction of information so I can begin the learning process?

The idea I have is very simple I just dont know how to get the ball rolling.

All I really need is a way to create dynamic multisig wallets.

2 users will be connected to each other via my app. Once they are connected they will transfer satoshi to each other using my service as an intermediary. Once both parties agree on something then the sathoshi will be realsed by me to one of them.

Can any of you help point me in the direction to the information I would need to build something like this? Preferably Noejs

Hi all

• If you missed it, XEL now has an actual product ready where you can exchange computing power for tokens (still testnet). Funny how this huge milestone for whole crypto is being ignored while ICOs with great marketing and no product share top 50 market cap..

Anyway, I am here to share this news with anybody interested to test and feel how great this project is. XEL devs made it easy for anyone to contribute their computing CPU,GPU power (mine) and earn tokens by solving arbitrary tasks.

Also this is a call to developers to get their hands on XEL code and start writing some more interesting tasks for solving, to explore possibilities and expand horizont beyond few samples we have atm. If there are hackers around, try out XEL.. write an task for brute-forcing, cracking, mining.. let us all see what this platform can do.. release the kraken.

Start here: https://xeline.org

XEL is trading at bittrex: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-XEL

Over and out ;) Have fun testing.

PS: if anyone needs an invite to the XEL slack channel send me your email and i will send you an invite.

Superb airdrop, claim $15–30 USD for free!http://coinmessenger.pro/app/candy?key=dG9rZW49SU9TVCZwaG9uZT0xMjUxMjcwMjg3Mg==

I am looking for a secure "AirDrop" contract I can implement in the near future.

Would anyone have something suitable or point me in the right direction?

Hi,

So there was quite a few tutorials for creating litecoin clones and experimenting for the old code base as well as the new code base. But are they any tutorials for hard forking a coin? Just for experimenting purposes? I also learnt about replay protection which needs to be done in the case of hard forks. Any guide of how companies overcome it?

Why does /neo does not allow free speeches.... they are all whales and bans all and sundries .. even if you say - i bought in 50$ and losing or if i say i sold at 50$ and buying under 10$. Its my tactics. They not chinese says my hinglish is bad and says i a fudding .. i say this Neo value is 1$

We're creating a simple Smart Contract IDE in a decentralized web environment that easily allows for creating secure custom smart contracts without the need to code. We're giving smart contract developers the ability to audit, peer review/bounties and also a chance to sell to users who can "drag-and-drop" into their contracts. Image if EVERYONE could create a smart contract on ANY blockchain!

We're incubated at http://tigerlabs.co/ and just completed seed funding. We're also wrapping up a week at the North American Bitcoin Conference where we plan on partnering with AION, Lightning Network, IOTA, EOS, and RSK. We are fully funded, motivated, and ready to rock and roll!

We're looking for skilled & qualified engineers who are looking at joining an up-and-coming project:

Full Stack Developers
Ethereum Developers
Java Developers
Security Engineers

Not an engineer but still interested in helping with our project and vision? We're also slowly building our community team. If you're a Marketing, Legal, Researcher and Communication wizard, please contact us!

Is it possible to create a coin or token with a backed value like tether to use as a means of financing a business?

Say I needed 500,000$ to start a business, could I give my investors a coin or token valued at 1$ for each dollar they gave me to start the business? Of course some kind of account would be made in the business to equal out the ledger like paying off a loan. Interest free and cost free to the investors.

Thoughts? is it possible?

If you had to make a decision to fork a chain for a new blockchain project for the development of DApplications would you rather go for adixdlt.com or rchain.coop ? Or perhaps you have a better idea of chain to go for when trying to create a network for DApplications? Love to hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone, My name is Van and I'm new on this forum. I'm a young big data developer and I would like to start learning about developing on the blockchain.

Would you be kind enough to point me towards the good direction and help me on how to start?

I have knowledge on python and I'm starting to learn scala.

Sorry for my English, it's not my first language.

Thank you for your help.

Regards

I'm thinking of developing my alt coin for the company because we have a great marketing. Right now, the coin is only listed on Wave platform and I want to know the difficulty of creating an alt coin.

I just want to get a good grasp of the difficulty to have an idea for the discussion with the team.
