Thanks to @clayop I now have an upgraded account I'd like to turn into a witness. Apparently I am 4,000 Core short of being able to create one - anyone be able to spare a few?  Thx

Account: "e-v"

yep same on my side ^^

I've sent both graphene and e-v 4000 CORE for account registration. 

Remember that Graphene employes a single thread design model. GPUs achieve their results through massive multi-parallelism.

Polite request for some CORE to continue testing.

Thanks in advance!

Account name "fox"

sent you 20k.  I am pretty low as well.

Most appreciated!  Putting them to good use shortly...

Does the Graphene protocol make use of a shared secret key by the set of block producing witnesses in each round?  If yes, please describe the protocol for generating the shared secret key and what current and potential function(s) is served by its use.  References within the code are also appreciated.

@Fuzzy @All,

My comments below should not be viewed as downplaying the direction of this thread thus far.

I am personally more interested in learning the Graphine codebase than various frameworks. A daunting goal, as I'm not aware of a 'learning path' outlined for BitShares. I feel this community will benefit greatly from a deeper understanding of how the toolkit that BitShares revolves around functions.

I understand documentation exists in the form of blog posts, a wiki, and even sparsely within the code itself on various BitShares technology features. However, I feel a deeper dive and trace of the code will provide benefits to new potential developers looking to build solutions for the ecosystem and for existing advocates to speak intelligently about the features and functionality available.

How To Topics in a peer lead learning environment may include: using FC and its features, constructing a transaction and understanding its data structure, creating a multisig wallet, hierarchical account maintenance and various market functions.

I am willing to participate in this type of collaborative learning, though I am not qualified to lead the coursework. Surely I can assist outlining a ciriculum.

Best,
Fox

Edit.. amazon option has more ram

FWIW -Looking at my Azure VPS for Graphine, I have the G5 machine size option: 32 cores, 448GB RAM [1]
No, I'm not currently running this size during testing.

[1] http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/#Linux
Not all locations have the G series instances available.

This is definitely Brownie.PTS worthy! Very useful codebase. Many thanks for your contributions.
