Algorand co-chains

Mar 27, 2020

In page 6 it is said: …but block generation in an Algorand co-chain can be much faster…
It seems that a co-chain generates its own blocks, so I think that the co-chain is on an additional network with its own servers, it is not a virtual network in the main algorand chain.

Private key from myalgo wallet

It is said that the private key can be calculated from the mnemonic words.
I guess that the private key is stored as ciphertext in the system.

A Proposal - Develop an incentive mechanism for Algorand

Mar 15, 2020

First, may set a higher threshold to create an asset. for example 10~1000 algos to be locked. This is acceptable for people who really need it.
Second, to encourage algo holders to run relay nodes and services such as a ledger explorer, may give more rewards to their accounts, conditioned that th…

Algorand is resource hungry

Thank all of you. Glad to know this. It seems possible to be installed on a POD, and not urgent to develop a light client wallet.

Algorand is resource hungry

Jan 15, 2020

I have not changed the default setting, so my node should be non-archival, according to https://developer.algorand.org/docs/node-configuration-settings
The two files are very large:
agreement.cdv.archive
node.archive.log

Algorand is resource hungry

Dec 19, 2019

I checked the storage usage. The mainnet occupies only a little storage, while testnetdata and betanetdata consume much more space, maybe the developers are testing something.
Maybe when the developers immigrate the tested Dapps data to mainnet, the mainnet will need much larger storage.

Help please: Where is the file update.sh

Dec 17, 2019

@JasonW Thank you. Yes, I worry a little, because I did not strictly follow the instruction on the homepage, I think that maybe the betanet on my ubuntu1804tls is not the expected one, although it seems working well.
In step 2 it says:
2. Installing on Linux Distros (do not use the Ubuntu instal…

Help please: Where is the file update.sh

Dec 17, 2019

Maybe the folder name in the tarball installation is different to that in the DEB package. so I have to modify the folder name manually.
I copied the file /var/lib/algorand/config.json.example to /var/lib/algorand/betanetdata/config.json, and then modify DNS to algodev.network, now it seems ok.

Help please: Where is the file update.sh

Dec 17, 2019

Because when I try to switch to the Betanet, following the instruction in https://developer.algorand.org/docs/getting-started-betanet
(1) in step3B the file update.sh is required.
(2) if I skip step3B, then step4 and step5 say ‘no such file or directory’
(3) I create the folder /var/lib/algorand/betanetdata successfully.

I installed algorand on an ubuntu18.04TLS cloud server, following the instruction on https://developer.algorand.org/docs/installing-ubuntu.
It should be a DEB or RPM, it is said to be updated automatically, and the data is in /var/lib/algorand.

A suggestion for a light-client wallet (like the BTC SPV wallet with Merkle tree)

Nov 17, 2019

In algorand network, the biggest relay nodes are trustable, so the light-client SPV wallets may refer to these relay nodes. It is even better than the case of BTC, where the referred full nodes need to be located randomly.
To do this we need to know whether there is a merkle tree in the block header…

A suggestion for a light-client wallet (like the BTC SPV wallet with Merkle tree)

Nov 6, 2019

We suggest that the team or volunteers create a light client wallet, because the data volume will explosively increase after the ASA is adapted, as a result more and more users will not run a full-data node.
A possible solution might be a SPV wallet, which is being used in BTC, based on Merkle tree…

Does the file .partkey cause this problem

Oct 30, 2019

Maybe I do not need to delete the file, only need to change onlinestatus to offline.

Does the file .partkey cause this problem

Then , goal account changeonlinestatus -a * -o=1, this succeeded on my cloud server.

Relay node rewards

Oct 30, 2019

Now there are only a few fans for the technology.
We do believe that giving rewards tokens to new relay nodes will attract a bigger eco-system, and then bring a higher price.

An Update on Vesting Suspension

Given the depth and breadth of ideas submitted by the relay node runner community and the importance of carefully considering and ultimately recommending a comprehensive vesting solution, more time is needed to assess and finalize a solution. A proposal has been submitted to extend the vesting by …

Relay node rewards

Oct 26, 2019

We suggest that rewards tokens are given to other relay node owners, there will be a competition, more people will run relay nodes to get rewards. Also this will increase the cost of getting tokens, and then put the price higher.

May click the link ‘stats’ to access here https://algoexplorer.io/stats, nice!
The tradable volume is less than 400M coins, the price should be hopeful. We hope that the algo community give more details of the coming coin distribution plans, so the investors can calculate that.
For example, a trend...

@JasonW
Thank you very much. The two links are right that I need to learn now.

Is there any way to create a new asset? A suggestion too

Sep 8, 2019

Also it will be a big test when thousands of eth-style tokens run on algorand main chain.
Hope algorand implement smart contract, and keep effective when carrying a lot of tokens, then algo is most likely to be the real digital gold in the coming borderless economy.

Is there any way to create a new asset? A suggestion too

Sep 8, 2019

Is there any way to create a new asset? best via a command line, or by programming a little.
Here a new asset means a token, like a token in ETH wallet. In ETH it is easy to create a token.
I read the SDK documents but it seems not easy for a beginner.
Thanks.

Mobile wallet security doubt

We hope that the team develop light-client wallets on popular OS platforms, such as windows/android/ios, with open-source code and clear instruction. I think this will attract more users and investors. good luck!
It is really amazing that Algorand creates no fork even when the network is partitioned…

Where to download an android wallet for algo?

People here say that there are wallets app for android and ios, but the files are not found on the websites: developer.algorand.org, github.com/algorand, community.algorand.org
Would you please tell me where to download the apps? an official one or by a third party. Thank you.

A suggestion - a qt wallet with window-style (like bitcoin-qt) will help popularize algorand

Aug 19, 2019

I try to recommend algo to other people, but most of them are not good at command lines. So I suggest that the dev team may develop a qt wallet with windows-style, like bitcoin-qt on linux, or even further to be installed on windows10.

How to backup the wallet if the wallet mnemonic words not recorded? Thanks

Aug 16, 2019

Thank you! I am going to try it.

How to backup the wallet if the wallet mnemonic words not recorded? Thanks

Aug 10, 2019

When I created the wallet I did not write the mnemonic words because I thought I can find it later via a command line, but then I could not find such a command.
Is there any way to get the mnemonic words again? or directly backup the full wallet to a disk file? like the BTC wallet.
Thanks.
