Would you grade my flips like I would? - Epoch #0095

In this post series, I will showcase how the «coherent and imaginative story» grading framework would play out if implemented in validations. To do so, I'll simply follow the rules of this grading framework to report and grade the flips that I have seen in the long session from epoch 95. The idea behind this post series is also to get your feedback as to whether or not you would have reported/graded my flips differently.

Is software error a force majeure?

They definitely put it like that in this oracle voting — scan.idena.io/contract/0x2481a10fd5c8129cc8f7c18b2abb1a63c243d1e1
«Because of the force majeure circumstance the Chronicles for the last 2 epochs (93 and 94) have been merged together»

Isn't it a negligence on the part of engineers?
I get it when they say that artificial neural networks are unpredictable, here though you have much more control of the behavior.

When I think of major forces they are like extreme weather events, earthquakes, pandemics, not software errors.

For the last couple of months I went on a journey of self-loathing,
my mother and I left Saint-Petersburg and visited: Vladimir, Moscow, Novorossiysk, Anapa, Kazan', Samara, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and returned back to Tashkent.

Idena hard fork announcement: Mining rewards based on Quadratic staking


Dear Idena community,
We plan to release a new version of the Idena node on August 23, 2022
This will be a hard fork that includes the following changes.

1. IIP-5

Change the block reward distribution so that instead of a fixed mining reward, the block proposer and block validators are paid in proportion to their stake to the power of 0.9. The proposed change affects only mining rewards distribution and does not affect the consensus mechanism, which implies equality of votes when verifying blocks according to the principle: one node = one vote.

Idena: Digital Democracy without a Centralized Entity


A case for crypto for the left would undoubtedly have to include the potential for creating resilient methods for digital democracy. However to make real democracy of one person one vote is incredibly difficult without having a very good system of sybil resistance, or for a way to tell that a single account is a single person. This is why so many projects rely on pure token governance, which is not really that democratic.

Idena chat on buffler

It would be cool if I could write to any Idena identity here on wall. Right now I can do that only for ones that have made profile. That would allow me to send someone a question after validation, for example, why did he report my flip. Or ask someone, why did he make some bad flip and have option to give some advices, educate each other on validation mechanics.

Хроники ИДЕНЫ. Эпоха №89.


Привет Иденовцы! Пока я наслаждаюсь летними деньками и отдыхаю от всего этого крипто безумия, сообщество Идены продолжает двигаться вперёд и оно всё сильнее, как никогда.
