RE: Velocity of Money and Currency Issuance Regulation - A possible equilibrium mechanism in cryptocurrencies
Is the Dawn Network a steemit like community you are working on?
BTW-- just voted for your witness
Yes. It is not just going to be a cryptocurrency and forum though. It will be a marketplace, exchange, messaging platform, file storage and distribution, and network routing service as well. I only really joined the project last week.
Thanks for the vote :)
Very cool, I will be following for more information and start info etc. Its always nice to have alternatives and different views on a subject. Is anything up and running(currency,site), or is this just a concept for the moment?
I have been working on parts of the bridge to replicate and become a mirror/proxy for the Steem blockchain, I discovered in the process that
steemdoutputs incorrect JSON.@faddat has been writing all sorts of code, you can see all the activity on the github: https://github.com/dawn-network.
Mostly so far he has been working with a new blockchain toolkit called Tendermint and Basecoin, an example implementation, and there was enough together and working to actually run a network previously.
Yeah, I only really started working full time on this about a week ago.
I found the info on bitcointalk, looks like a closed investment offering. I do like the idea of the open source router based on OpenWrt although I prefer ipfire.
It's not an investment, unless you say that me (and others) spending our time and resources on building it is an investment. We are not making any promises to anyone, though we are doing what we can to get this moving forward as quickly as possible.
No, I mean, we will accept donations but we are not entering a contract to fulfill anything, and I can only speak for myself but I have enough resources to continue the work at more or less the pace I have begun, for at least 3 months, in which time we probably will have the network running with the basic elements in place.
Yes, there is a hardware plan in it, it's intended to be a turnkey witness type server built on it, including a file/data distribution system (@faddat is working on this at the moment, it looks like he has settled on an integration with IPFS).
Note that we also absolutely will not be registering any corporation or any kind of government or bank-related thing except and only as far as necessary (which should be not at all). In m and @faddat's opinions, the more a chain gets tied up with the banking and government system, the more of a rotten rat-filled ship it becomes. You can just look at the fiasco that is Steemit, and the absurdity of the imminent bitcoin fork, the Ethereum fork... We want to build a community that is open and unable to be ridden by greedy thieving liars.
Anyone who wants to join the project is invited to come and chat at the discord, where most of the coordination is going on: https://discord.gg/YKPgtSU
@azfix
Dawn is reconsituted. Today's dawn only has one team member in common with those who made that bitcointalk ad: me.
it's not possible to invest in dawn, because it is an experimental software project and as such, @l0k1 and I would be utterly insane to promise returns. Thus, we are accepting donations to move the work forward, and make no promises, especially promises of a financial return to anyone, ever.
Maybe our only promise is to release code we think suits the context it will be used in better than the alternatives.
Thanks for explaining in more detail, the broken trail I was following was a bit confusing.
