Technology

What crypto technology is used in the eMark?

The eMark is a SHA256D coin. This means that the algorithm for block generation is based on the SHA256D method.

Is the source code of the eMark available for viewing?

The source code of the eMark is public and can be viewed & modified at any time at Github.com.

Difference between bootstrap.dat and snapshot

The bootstrap.dat serves as a blockchain 'template' and is checked again, i.e. your own blockchain is rebuilt.

A snapshot does not necessarily check the blocks, nor is your own blockchain rebuilt, but the blockchain provided is taken over 1 to 1.

With a snapshot, you can then start "directly", while the bootstrap.dat variant takes a little more time.

Simply move the bootstrap.dat to the default directory where the wallet.dat and peers.dat are located.

The snapshot will be unpacked in the same folder and overwritten if necessary (SAVE wallet.dat before!).

Proof of Stake

Proof of Stake (PoS) ist ein Prozess zur Erzeugung von neuen eMark mit bereits vorhanden DEM.

Dieser kann frühstens nach 30 Tagen "eingelöst" werden. Die Vergütungshöhe liegt bei 3.8% im Jahr (365 Tage), auf 30 Tage runter gerrechnet ~0,32%.

Je höher der eMark Betrag ist, desto eher kann dieser Eingelöst werden, der Faktor Zeit, sowie das Gesamtgewicht im Netzwerk spielt dabei aber auch eine Rolle.

Umso mehr PoS "Reife" (30 Tage oder älter) Blöcke man hat, desto wahrscheinlicher ist einen zu generieren. Man benötigt 81 Bestätigungen bis die eMark bestätigt sind, also wieder zum versenden bereit sind. Wesentliche Vorteile von PoS sind Sicherheit, reduziertes Zentralisierungsrisiko und Energieeffizienz.

What are peers/nodes?

By peers (or nodes) we mean the other eMarkd & -qt applications, i.e. their IP address. When the application is started, several fixed IP addresses are queried, as well as DNS seeder. The application asks independently for new connections and shares the own connection also accordingly (download & upload).

A list of available addresses can be found at nodes.emark.ninja or chainz.cryptoid.info.

Via the console with the command getpeerinfo the currently connected eMark nodes are displayed.

Via the console with the command addnode IP.Adresse.123 add a node can be added manually.
