So..
You've basically released several currencies, and centralised it to your own pool? It's a fun idea, especially if you release your own exchange.
There needs to be a connection to the outside world, a currency that can be bought or mined centrally within the system, and then traded externally on the various exchanges. Naturally Gold/XAUz would be the obvious choice.
My major concern is the centralisation of this. Basically right now you control the pools and the currencies. Is the source available? Will it be available? How can we verify the mining calculator isn't biased?
Hi Nullu,
Thanks you for your comment.
We have released 10 cryto-commodities for which the main characteristic is that their mining difficulty is tied to a real underlying commodity price.
There is no centralization, we do NOT control the things, is it a standard p2p network, built from a Litecoin source code. The main difference is the need for an external source of quotation (for the real commodities price). The quotes come from
http://finance.yahoo.comSee here for the details:
http://www.bitcommoditiz.org/all-commoditiz/This is built in the source code, you can check by yourself as the whole code is public on GitHub:
https://github.com/bitcommoditiz/As for the difficulty you can check it any time by a getmininginfo command on any node (this is the same check you can do with Bitcoin, Litecoin and so on...)
Regarding the pool, we provide a "ready to mine" pool service with a 1% fee but you can run your own BitCommoditiz pool. The mining pool software, Bitcommoditiz p2pool is also on GitHub:
https://github.com/bitcommoditiz/P2PoolWe really wish to see some independant pools on the market in the hope they will attract more miners. We can help you to run your own pool by providing you with technical support if you want (contact us PM for that).
We do not want the control over the pool and the currencies. We do not plan to release our own exchange.We look forward to see BitCommoditiz on independant trading platform so that you may freely exhange them with others cryptocoins.
