Random Discussion / Fork of steem, "calibrae"
« on: October 17, 2017, 07:26:18 pm »
Hi,
Loki (doing the c++ dev work)
and I (doing devops/docker/support for loki) are working on a fork of steem because we're both banned from steem's github repository, and because we think that steem should've been a great deal more decentralized/"better" than it was. The main differences that we're setting up are:
* Single token (removal of SBD)
* No market (hence no price feeds for witnesses)
* 50 witneses instead of 21/19/whatever.
* No "let the miner run" quasi-premine
Our code is located at https://git.calibr.ae/calibrae/nebula
The area we will most need help in to move forward will be intimate knowledge of operating graphene. Both loki and I know it pretty well, but we suspect that when it comes to starting a new chain, there are going to be things to learn, for example:
I'm interested in getting feedback from anyone on this project as a whole, and in getting advice on moving through the code. We have the market excised as of now, and our next big task is to remove everything relating to SBD (and there's really a great deal of that.)
There's not going to be an ICO, as we want to maintain community ownership. There's not going to be a pre-mine, as we want an organic community around this software.
Thoughts?
PS: https://git.calibr.ae/calibrae/nebula/issues lists our open issues. There will be more, but if anyone can offer specific help with any of these, it'll be greatly appreciated.

- What is the exact role of initminer?
- What triggers a chain with 0 blocks to begin producing blocks?
