Graphene and Protocol questions

[svk]

Steem mining was removed a few hardforks ago so its pure POS now.

STEEM is a Graphene-based blockchain that did use PoW in its early days.

Ah, this is so very important to me... do you happen to have any links with technical details of how it worked early on? I am going to github to mine for treasure...

@pc, Thank you so much for the tip!

Edit to add: According to this paper Steem still does use a POW / POS hybrid... and it is very creative. I need to study it a bit to make sure I like the algorithms, but I am very impressed. Thanks again!

Bitshares Blockchain Mining? Can Bitshares blockchain implementations be configured for mining / proof of work, or are they only ever Proof of Stake?

I am going to assume that because there was no reference to Proof of Work that the bitshares network never uses Proof of Work. Here is a whitpaper of sorts: Delegated Proof-of-Stake Consensus

@Brekyrself  Thanks!

I will now look at formula based assets... maybe this will be useful. Also, the telegram channel. Thanks again.

There are two main types of assets, BitAssets & User Issued Assets.

BitAssets: https://bitshares.org/technology/price-stable-cryptocurrencies/
UIA: https://bitshares.org/technology/user-issued-assets/
Recently added: Formula backed assets: https://steemit.com/hero/@Stan/the-billion-hero-challenge (steem links seem to capitalize some letters, just change them to lower case.)

There is no mining in BitShares, it's Delegated Proof of Stake.

@xeroc can help with API info

Telegram has a more active instant discussion: https://t.me/BitSharesDEX

Okay...

Blockchain Creation Tutorial Is there a tutorial or overview on how to create a new currency (like Ethereum ERC20) or separate blockchain using bitshares?

I am going to assume that "Assets" are the equivalent of Ethereum ERC20 tokens.

Graphene API Does Graphene have an API, or are there frameworks for working with Graphene based Smart Contracts?

I would assume that Frameworks would be third party... I didn't see any listed.

For my own future ref, here are the blockchain API docs: Blockchain API, Websockets, and RPC's

Technical Forum / IRC Is there a "tech" channel for Bitshares / Graphene?

Here is an answer from 2015, good info

[Brekyrself]

You will find answers to all those questions here: http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/index.html

I am not sure whether this is the correct forum or not... please redirect me if necessary.
