One of the most fully decentralized blockchain projects under development right now is looking for a few good zk-SNARKS developers. Actually, more than a few. In its latest contest, the Free TON blockchain community has set aside $250,000 in TON Crystal token rewards in a contest aimed at attracting developers who can create Zcash privacy protocols for Free TON. Running through July 1, the “Groth16 zk-SNARK Proof Verification Use Cases” contest is the first stage in a series of contests aimed at bringing zero-knowledge proofs to the TON Virtual Machine. There will be 10 winners splitting 320,000 TON in amounts varying from 80,000 for first place and 60,000 for second to 5,000 for 10th place. Winners will be selected by a jury of community-elected experts who will share in the rewards. It’s a process that the community governing the project — there is no controlling foundation — believes is superior to centrally distributed grants or contracts. Among other things, the contests often produce a number of viable solutions. Which is exactly what the community wants, and another reason for zk-SNARKS experts to enter. This contest is “the first in a series of ‘ZKP contests’ aiming [to motivate the] Free TON developer community to try prepared tools and to crowdsource simple ZKP use cases for testing purposes,” the contest proposal states. Decentralized from day one The contest-centric nature of Free TON’s development strategy grew out of the unusual circumstances of Free TON’s birth, which allowed the community to take a different approach to further development. The highly scalable and secure Free TON blockchain — capable of millions of transactions per second thanks to dynamic sharding — came into being when 17 independent developers came together to salvage the Telegram Open Network (TON) blockchain project after a court forced the messaging app developing it as a centralized project to withdraw. That allowed Free TON to start with the kind of decentralized community governance that most projects aspire to. Read more...

Один из наиболее полностью децентрализованных блокчейн-проектов, находящихся в стадии разработки, сейчас ищет несколько хороших разработчиков zk-SNARKS. Собственно, более чем несколько. В своем последнем конкурсе блокчейн-сообщество Free TON выделило 250 000 долларов в виде вознаграждения в токенах TON Crystal в конкурсе, направленном на привлечение разработчиков, которые могут создавать протоколы конфиденциальности Zcash для Free TON. Конкурс Groth16 zk-SNARK Proof Verification Use Cases, который проходит до 1 июля, является первым этапом в серии конкурсов, нацеленных на предоставление доказательств с нулевым разглашением на виртуальной машине TON. Будет 10 победителей, которые разделят 320,000 TON на суммы, варьирующиеся от 80,000 за первое место и 60,000 за второе до 5,000 за 10 место. Победители будут выбраны жюри из избранных сообществом экспертов, которые разделят награды. Это процесс, который сообщество, управляющее проектом, - не имеющее контрольного фонда - считает, превосходит централизованно распределенные гранты или контракты. Помимо прочего, конкурсы часто приводят к ряду жизнеспособных решений. Это именно то, чего хочет сообщество, и еще одна причина для участия экспертов zk-SNARKS. Этот конкурс является «первым из серии« конкурсов ZKP », целью которых [побудить] сообщество разработчиков Free TON попробовать подготовленные инструменты и собрать простые варианты использования ZKP для целей тестирования», - говорится в предложении конкурса. Децентрализован с первого дня Конкуренция стратегии развития Free TON выросла из необычных обстоятельств рождения Free TON, что позволило сообществу использовать другой подход к дальнейшему развитию. Масштабируемый и безопасный блокчейн Free TON, способный выполнять миллионы транзакций в секунду благодаря динамическому сегментированию, появился, когда 17 независимых разработчиков собрались вместе, чтобы спасти проект Telegram Open Network (TON). Это позволило Free TON начать с децентрализованного управления сообществом, к которому стремятся большинство проектов. Читать далее....

Spacecoin (SPACE) A digital currency to use throughout the universe. Spacecoin is a digital currency with cutting edge features and technology. The idea behind Spacecoin's creation is to unite the citizens of earth behind one currency fit for our future lives in space. As people begin living in space, there will be a need for a fast, reliable, and secure financial infrastructure that Spacecoin can provide. The fiat currencies of earth will not suffice in space and work to further divide us. To achieve a proper financial infrastructure for space, we need to unite around one decentralized currency that can't be manipulated by any one group or government. It must fill many roles and services to hold up to a different type of life in space. Spacecoin takes advantage of Komodo Platform's assetchain technology, which provides a great foundation to start from. Being an assetchain, Spacecoin benefits by inheriting the available features in komodo's codebase as well as future upgrades and updates. Unlike other blockchain platforms, Spacecoin is in no way tied to komodo. It is still a 100% independent blockchain and can continue to function even if komodo were to cease to exist. Spacecoin is a 50/50 hybrid Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) equihash coin. There is no premine or ICO, giving everyone a fair start. New blocks occur every 30 seconds so transactions confirm very quickly. Everyone knows the importance of privacy and with Spacecoin you can sleep easy knowing your private transactions are sent using Zcash's zk-SNARKS. Spacecoin also comes with CryptoConditons, allowing developers to write Turing-complete dApps and Smart Contracts that can be used on the SPACE blockchain. Spacecoin is ready for atomic swaps on Komodo Platform's AtomicDEX. Spacecoin's coin emission schedule consists of 6 eras with decreasing block rewards. The era's are designed to reward early adopters with higher block rewards and to also last for many years into the future. The first era that we're in now, with 36 SPACE block reward lasts until block 939,393. It will then go down to 27 SPACE per block. For all the information on era's please take a look at: spaceworks.co/spacecoin/emission If you're interested in space, blockchain technology, or you're just curious in general… we welcome you to join the Spacecoin community and start preparing for the future with us.Site:spaceworks.co/spacecoinWallets:spaceworks.co/spacecoin/wallets Github github.com/SpaceWorksCo/spacecoin Explorers explorer.spaceworks.co space.explorer.dexstats.info Mining Pools mining.spaceworks.co equihash.network unimining.net cminors-pool.com letshash.it Exchanges AtomicDEX-Desktop OTC trading on Discord Resources Guides - spaceworks.co/guides RPC Docs - spacecoin-rpc.spaceworks.co Docker - hub.docker.com/repository/docker/spaceworksco/spacecoin Mining Pool Stats - miningpoolstats.stream/spacecoin Rich List - dexstats.info/richlist.php?asset=SPACE Community Discord - spaceworks.co/discord Telegram - spaceworks.co/telegram Twitter - twitter.com/spacecoinSPACE Medium - medium.com/@spaceworks ORIGINAL THREAD : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5273789 Creator : SpaceWorks
