TERA Smartcontract Platform [DApp, PoW, CPU, 1000 TPS]

[123 15]

Introducing TERA PLATFORM

 

TERA is a platform for developing applications in a decentralized network. Programs can manage and transfer any digital values,
including coins and tokens. This platform allows you to build a world economy without borders. The network is built on a highly reliable
blockchain Protocol with PoW consensus.

It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us to mine TERA, a coin that offers solutions for issues of existing cryptocurrencies,
namely centralization, transaction throughput, transaction speed, confirmation times, transaction fees and general usability and difficulty
of integration into existing payment and financial systems.

We have managed to create a blockchain with 1 second block time, 8 seconds for full confirmation of transfer and zero fees. On top of that
TERA blockchain is capable of throughput of 1000 transactions per second while retaining all praised blockchain features and bringing huge
possibilities for further development and seamless integration with existing infrastructure as well as with new emerging technologies.

Full node & Mining

Attention: To connect to the network, it's better to have a public IP address.

Installation instruction: https://gitlab.com/terafoundation/tera

Requirements

The Terahash algorithm based on sha3 and optimized RAM hashing function. At least you need a strong CPU (>4 Cores) and a lot of RAM (>8 GB).

Good combinations of Cores / RAM are:

04 Cores /// 08 GB RAM
08 Cores /// 16 GB RAM
12 Cores /// 24 GB RAM
16 Cores /// 32 GB RAM

For example: The Intel i7-4770K CPU have 4 cores and 8 threads.

 

Starting the wallet

Wait until the synchronization is complete - the green message Synchronization complete should
appear. Below, when you start first time, two fields will appear: name and adviser. Enter the code of
the adviser (if you have one), enter account name and click the Create button. After about 8 seconds,
the account creation transaction will fit in the blockchain and you will have an open account where
you can mine the coins.

Solving connection problems

1. Check the presence of a direct ip-address (order from the provider)
2. Check if the port is routed from the router to your computer
3. Check the firewall (port must open on the computer)

Referral mining program

In the first year of the network work (when the number of the block is in the range from 2 mln to 30
mln), the referral program of mining works. If the miner indicated an adviser in his wallet, then he
gets about twice the size of the reward, and his adviser receives a one-time reward. Thus, at the
beginning of the action of the referral program, the emission is roughly tripled.

Technically, an adviser is an account number. Any account can become an adviser, provided that it
was created more than 1 mln blocks ago (i.e. approximately 12 days).

In order to smooth out the emission curve, the award for referral mining is multiplied by a factor that
assumes a value from 1 to 0. The factor takes the value equal to 1 at the beginning of the program
and smoothly changes to 0 at the end of the program (up to 30 millionth block).

 

Transfer your coins "bank like"

The coins are kept in accounts by analogy with bank accounts. The accounts are numbered from 0
sequentially. The zero account number is for system account, to which initially 1 bln coins were
issued. To create new account you need to send to the network special transaction
ACCOUNT_CREATE where you need to specify a public key of the account owner and unnecessary
characteristic “name of account” (a line with length up to 40 bytes). It is advisable to specify the
name to check the correctness of the account number input when sending the payment.

 

Test Network

Default values:

port:40000
httpport:8080

Launch:

sudo node set-test httpport:8080 password:SecretWord
sudo pm2 start run-test.js

I see TERA DEX has been launched. are there several tokens that use your Blockchain? I think TERA DEX will have a trading volume if there are already several Tokens that use the TERA Blockchain

Yes,several tokens created,including BTC(created by official),and dapp20 is the DEX.

Even though the trading volume is tiny now.

I'm not English native so just to get clear what i have red, is TERA a technology, a cryotocurrency a token or a tech for creating tokens?

Tera is a blockchain protocol and platform,and have many features,of course including issuing tokens.

TERA is the native currenty of Tera platform.

This is the right url of TERA https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tera/   ,you can see it.

yes, that might be possible. but I tried to find information on the TERA team but haven't found it yet, I've looked for it on their site but nothing, maybe someone can tell me.

Waw ! transactions on the TERA network are free!  And at the same time really fast! Totally free and fast. And is already presented on exchanges.

Tera is a POW coin,so you just need your CPU source and storage to mine it.

Tera is the fast transacted crypto.In the Tera network, blocks are created every second, and the first confirmation time is 8 seconds, but if you want the same degree of reliability as in the Bitcoin network - you need to wait for the same duration. The duration of time you wait correlates to the degree of reliability.

Yeah,for any pow coin,  if you want the same degree of reliability as in the Bitcoin network - you need to wait for the same duration.

Interim results of the bug bounty campaign

The terafoundation project is a decentralized blockchain that manages users ' digital assets, so security comes first for us. We would like to thank the GeekHack team (https://t.me/GeekHack) for the code audit. All found vulnerabilities were promptly fixed. We remind you that the bug-hunter program pays 100 000 Tera for critical vulnerabilities that lead to the theft of money from the wallet or stop the network. The campaign is held indefinitely - until complete victory over all bug.

4GB is basically not enough for 1s blockchain data,and with mobile phone,you almost impossibly mine tera.

About the detailed mining profit per day,I really do not know now.Because I have closed my miners long time ago,I'd rather buy Tera coin now directly.

Of all the exchanges listed in the OP where TERA is said to traded on only Hotbit.io strikes me like a good exchange, any plans of listing on bigger exchanges along the line ?

I thought that is really s good platform, but I want to ask! You've said this platform is used to mine TERA right! So my question is do we deposit and use to mine through your website or do we mine by using our equipments?

You may like the Hotbit exchange, but I am not happy with the Hotbit exchange, because there are many fake trading volumes there
