Hi everybody. I am planning a technical video with questions to the Core (Blockchain Team). Please leave questions below.

– EDIT –

Thanks everybody who participated. We shot the video and we will be publishing it after we sync it (we used a studio microphone for surround sound, a lavalier microphone for Hi-quality audio and two cameras).

Thank you for the opprotunity!

  1. What pros and cons has the albatross testnet shown? Obviously, albatross is a “barbones” and has to be fine-tuned for a specific algorithm.
    -What were expected results and actual?
    -Did you meet unexpected problems/issues that complicate the consensus model?
    -Did some results exceed your expectations?

  2. The new keyguard - how easy will it be to integrate it to existing webpages? :slight_smile:
    -Is the new keyguard reworked with only NIM in mind? Or it might be ready to support “out of the box” fiat (or show fiat equivalent of NIM being payed)? Any chance to support crosschain tokens?

  3. Not really techical - will NIM be used/lised on agora trade before the transition to albatross/other consensus model? Are there any technical hiccups that prevent NIM for being used in agora trade

Great! How much do you plan to record @Richy ? It would be great to have a longer video than usual (30 minutes?).

Here are my questions:

  1. What does the team think of the rise of DAG-based protocols recently in the industry, notably in terms of robustness and security? Did the team already experiment with DAG?

  2. How do you plan to encourage liquidity on the network and compensate for the double incentive to hoard NIM with PoS (staking reward+limited supply) compared to PoW?

  3. If we go for the staking route, do you have some ideas to make it as easy as possible to stake?

  1. How does pico consensus work, and how’s it different from nano consensus?

  2. Did nimiq team modify anything from the Nipopow paper when implementing the nano consensus?

  3. Did nimiq team explore any privacy option when designing nimiq 2.0? If yes, what are they?

  4. When real whitepaper :joy:

Will Nimiq be intergated in classical payment terminals? This should be possible thanks to OASIS. You could call the Service “NIMIQ PAY”

#6

With the plans of Nimiq OASIS, it will be possible to get added to SEPA.

Also a Nimiq Woocommerce plugin has been created. It uses the new Keyguard so still only available for Testnet. But for merchants who use Woocommerce as their payment backend, adding Nimiq as a payment gateway will become really easy.

Any chance Nimiq gets integrated on Liquidity Network? You just need to implement a tiny bunch of code to do that according to Arthur

  • What has changed for sushipools dumb mode to be implemented given that the proposal to implement stratum was rejected during last year meetup in Amsterdam because it was too centralized?
  • With Nimiq 2.0 will there be a PoS pool implementation?
