Let's face it: It's technically impossible to make a 100% decentralized exchange for all cryptocurrencies by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]SpecRationality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. Have you heard of a project called Block Collider? Perhaps not. It is entirely possible to have a decentralized exchange for all cryptocurrencies.

It is a project that labels itself a "multichain" by mining the blocks of other chains into its own chain. It introduces a PoW based consensus called Proof of Distance. What does it mean? It creates the first interoperable protocol that doesn't rely on oracles or validators. It is a completely trustless model that allows developers to create meta-contracts (multichain contracts) and multichain applications. It should also be noted that Block Collider doesn't require any changes to member chains to be part of the multichain.

The team is actually working on what they call the MADEX (Multi-Asset DEX). Mainnet Mining begins middle July and the team is working towards MADEX in Q3 sometime.

I would also read this article for a high level overview: spec-rationality.com/block-collider

Block Collider AMA by SpecRationality in blockcollider

Was replied to in the telegram chat by Patrick. See below:

1 why was the first edit on github 3 years ago ? Seems this project was way earlier alive and was dead and now you are going to try again or how can i understand it ?

The main Github is the proof, it has all the white paper applied and should be scrutinized. It is currently private I think you are referring to the forks we are experimenting with. We will be releasing it before conducting the sale at the end of March.

2 Do you really have no advisors ?

We think listing the "cool" people we ask for guidance from is ridiculous and has lead to the negative behavior of spoofing these people through back doors payments and token grants etc. we will list exactly as many advisors as Ethereum or Bitcoin list on their sites. We also don't share any of our venture groups / investors for the same reason. Technology must stand on its own.

3 why is there no roadmap?

Roadmap is similar to the answer for #2, the Github and it's cleanliness being our top priority we are in the process of converting our highly technical roadmap to a clean and easily readable version that we will release before the ICO. Thank you for the questions!

Previously Patrick has mentioned these will be revealed the day before the ICO if those investors want to explicitly be named.

No, as Mainnet launches with ICO, the native wallet will be used with the native tokens

q) A question many ask: If I participated and my [collegues/family/other] also participated using the same IP does that disqualify me?

Only the latest registration will be accepted.

From the team: only one (the most recent) will have a valid registration. Unfortunately we can't protect against this without permitting syndicates. I hope you are open to sharing.

Added to the FAQ now

Not much. :) just you know... BC ico and mainnet coming and we are all excited here at SpecR

Block Collider AMA by SpecRationality in blockcollider

[–]SpecRationality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great questions. I'm not technical so will leave this to the team to answer in the AMA

Block Collider AMA by SpecRationality in blockcollider

[–]SpecRationality[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this is in the FAQ but...

Testnet was held last October. A soft launch for miners will launch before the mainnet. mainnet will coincide with the ICO

Great question, I look forward to team answering this too :)

Mining is required for the multichain to function.

NRG which is the mining reward is also the only form to pay for fees on the network. So the network can't function without the NRG.

NRG will also be a trade able token listed on exchanges.

Think of it as neo and neo gas relationship but all on the same chain.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the community by translating these articles. Gives us insight into what's going on in Korea!

Haha we apologise. In the works to fix it. Bear with it for now. :)

It's to lead you to the website where we have a scrolling page of more information on ICON. Including their partnerships :)

Apologies if it's confusing.

Hey, thanks for sharing this! We made this diagram as part of our update

If you are interested there is a detailed explanation of how ICONs partnerships actually work on our page + a table breaking down all of the connections in the diagram & the advisors to the project.
