Anonymous digital cash for Ukraine This is Cryptonote fork with some borrows from Forknote and DigitalNote.

The karbovanets (Ukrainian: карбованець, karbovanets, plural: карбованці, karbovantsi), has been a distinct unit of currency in Ukraine during three separate periods in its history. I decided to resurrect it back to life as digital cryptocurrency seeing rise of multiple national cryptocurrencies. I believe it has its right to exist and potential. There is a lot of crypto enthusiasts in Ukraine scattered on different forums and I hope some of them will support this project. I think there is demand in Ukraine for decentralized services which corrupted and ineffective government can't control, and I hope Karbowanec will find its niche in Ukraine.

The etymology of the name "karbovanets" is by one supposition originated in Ukraine from the ancient primitive way to carve numbers of calculations on a rod. The name even has same stem as english 'carve' thus we carve coins not mine them

Why Cryptonote? Because Cryptonote technology provides fungibility and privacy - most important features of money, it has robust tested tech, verified cryptography and it is easy to start

If someone wish to participate in development and improvement please don't hesitate to contact.

Binaries will be available in one hour. To allow people prepare.


Specifications
Ticker: KRB
Symbol: Ҝ - Ka with vertical stroke, it is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Ka (К к) by the addition of a stroke through the short horizontal bar in the centre of the letter.

0% Pre-mine
Mining algorithm: POW, CryptoNight
Max supply: 10 million KRB
Block reward: initial reward of ~38 KRB, slight decrease every block
Block target time: 4 minutes
Difficulty: Retargets at every block
Decimal Points: 12
Low transaction fee: 0.0001 KRB
P2P Port: 32347
Rpc Port: 32348

We hope low transaction fee only 0.0001 KRB will encourage usage and micropayments, especially when value of Karbovanec will grow, blockchain bloat shoudn't be a problem since we have increased block time to 4 minutes.

Karbowanec GUI Wallet Linux 32-bit v. 1.0.1
Karbowanec GUI Wallet Linux 64-bit v. 1.0.1

Karbowanec GUI Wallet Mac OS X v. 1.0.1


For Windows users updating to GUI to 0.2.7 and CLI to 1.2.4 - default data location is moved back to it's usual place at C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\karbowanec\
Before update copy your files from C:\ProgramData\karbowanec to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\karbowanec\ to save your wallet and not to sync from scratch.



Default language is Ukrainian, if you want English just rename or delete languages folder. This is beta version of GUI wallets. We recommend to use CLI wallets for sending larger amounts.

Alternatively it is possible to use Forknote binaries with corresponding config file https://github.com/forknote/forknote/re ... tag/1.0.11
You should add to karbowanec.conf this line

Code: Select all

MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_INITIAL=1000000

Solo mining

How to solo mine with the CLI release
1. Download CLI release from
2. Extract the release to any folder or directory
3. Run the daemon, karbowanecd. Then start simplewallet and open or create a wallet. You can open it later in GUI.
4. In simplewallet, type "start_mining x", x being the number of CPU cores you wish to mine with.
5. Check your hash rate by typing "show_hr" in karbowanecd. Hide it by typing "hide_hr".

Alternatively you can run the daemon, karbowanecd with these flags: --start-mining YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --mining-threads 3 - much more easy

Pools

pool.karbowanec.com/
pool2.karbowanec.com/
Democats pool
krb.suprnova.cc
http://5.189.135.137/krb
http://krb.ms-pool.net.ua/


Miners and config examples are at Pool Getting started page. They are the same as with any other Cryptonote coin. Except Claymore's miners.
You can use Minergate GUI miner - just add custom pool in "Other Pools" tab.


Pool mining is working
Pool is up and running in API mode as block explorer. I will open pool for mining later. Let's begin with solo mining.

As you maybe already know, Cryptonote coin's wallets can operate through remote daemon without downloading blockchain. It allows to start working quickly when needed. It is quite safe as remote daemon can't steal your coins, running own node is more secure of course. To work through remote daemon in simplewallet you need to specify remote daemon's address with flag for example --daemon-address=http://136.243.158.27:32348, in GUI you can just select remote node in settings or add custom one. But these remote nodes are not rewarded anyhow in any CN coin. Only in Karbowanec such remote nodes are rewarded for their service. We call them Masternodes because this term is well known and to troll other coins Grin.

So, basically, Masternode it is the CLI Karbowanec daemon running on a machine with open port which allows to connect to it for such light wallets and, most important, mobile wallets in the future. Karbowanec wallets, connected to Masternode, are paying small fees to that node when are sending transactions through it. These fees are supposed to help to cover the costs of operating Karbowanec nodes.

These Masternodes are providing service necessary for mobile wallets, and besides are helping to maintain and enlarge Karbowanec network. We have plans no incentivize such nodes even more in the future.


To start own Karbowanec masternode all is needed is just a machine with static IP and open port. Machine should have enough CPU power to handle load when parsing blockchain for connected wallets, it can be even spare PC at home. On such machine you can run karbowanec daemon specifying a wallet address where fees would go like this:

./karbowanecd --restricted-rpc --enable-cors=* --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=32348 --fee-address=KaqCQAbx3BSKKv7ED98oQP9QSP3igqgo47hPYZ8q6KZyUY6GnDaQkh9WbVR4DxvmCq8mZcKPg3wfWFJQ5CsyrxPqKcXC3rx

You can specify any wallet address, it can be your GUI wallet address, even paper wallet.
You need to make sure your port is open and not blocked by firewall. If you are running it at home behind router you need to do port forwarding.

If you have PC at home constantly running with fast connection and static IP and want to operate such Masternode to help Karbowaec network, run daemon as in example and send me you IP so I can add it do default nodes list.
You can check if your node is running opening its IP in browser like this

http://185.51.246.81:32348/feeaddress

and you should see something like this

{"fee_address":"KhjM2KE6CXnDqERpSQckdgaT1VcpPuqxKavZwLxYwtqs4j3eWCVE9MtEV4xxdQVp13V4NYMRWbQqYG9jRw5XNkRUKLjfHwR","status":"OK"}

with your wallet addrees where fees should go.

You can also run Masternode on VPS with dedicated domain and publish here with description so people can add your node manually if they prefer it. It is not recommended to do now specially for Karbowanec, do it only when you already have VPS and it is idling.

For now, do not expect yet to earn a lot of fees because there is very low usage of such remote nodes.
