blocktalk VS burstkit4j

I'm trying out the smart contract functionality from the samples at https://github.com/signum-network/signum-smartj

The group of developers that made that proposal left the project a couple of years ago. Current development has been shifted to a more stable node software, smart contracts https://github.com/burst-apps-team/blocktalk/, user adoption https://burst.dappository.world/, etc. Also check, for instance, the latest network upgrade press release: https://burstwiki.org/en/burst-sodium-press-release/

POC Examples — Storj (STORJ), Chia (XCH), Signum (SIGNA)

i typed the name of the chain signum.network lol see <- it adds the link on its own. guess i should leave out the .

You can find more info here: https://github.com/signum-network/signumj/releases/tag/v1.1.0

how come signum.network isn't on KuCoin? :-(

Find out more at https://signum.network/ or join a Signum channel below. Get Signa: https://signum.network/exchanges.html

that's a pretty deep link. That is not a great page to relegate history to. It also does not have any of the branding or logos present anywhere. https://signum.network does not seem to have this readily accessible.

You can use your plot files on the Signum Network, it is the same network, just with a new name. There is a distinction between poc1 plots which were created prior to (I am guessing here) approximately 2018 and poc2 plots that were created more recently. The poc1 plots can still be used but will read at 50% speed. To know for sure which type of plot you have, look at the name of plot files. If the follow this format: AcountID_StartingNonce_NrOfNonces (3 numbers), they are poc2. If the name has 4 numbers, they are poc1, in which case you can use them or replot to the faster format. (poc1 can also be converted using a conversion program, but it is just as fast to replot generally). As for plotting speed, it depends on your processing speed and writing to disk speed. I generally think of this as about an hour per Terrabyte with my equipment, but it has been a while and will be different for everyone based on mix of equipment, software, write speed, etc. It is nothing like Chia. Just fire up the plotting process and you will be far ahead of where you would be if you spend too much time trying to figure it out precisely. BTDEX is an all-in-one program and probably will not be faster than a specialized program such as signum plotter or turbo plotter. It is just easier because it is only one program. They are all easy to use however. 120 Terrabytes is a large amount of plots. You can commit Signum toward mining and multiply this capacity up to 8 times. I suggest that you join the Signum discord community for more information and personlized advice. https://discord.com/invite/9rH2bbCNpealso see https://signum.community for more detailed information, user guides, etc. Also, the official website at https://signum.network .

I mine RVN to then sell it to buy SIGNA right away. https://signum.network/
