Amoveo

Amoveo is a blockchain meant for enforcement of investment and insurance contracts.

Amoveo contracts are enforced using state-channels. This means fees are low, contracts are nearly instant and can support a global audience.

Amoveo has oracle technology. Amoveo can learn facts about our world and enforce the outcome of contracts that are governed by these facts. This, for example, enables you to bet on the price of Amazon shares.

The variables that define how to participate in Amoveo can be modified by the Amoveo community using a built-in process. This way Amoveo will always stay optimally tuned to produce the best results.

Light node

The most secure wait to use the light node is to download it from github. https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/light-node-amoveo

you can use the light node less securely by clicking this link. This is the easiest way to get started.

This light node downloads headers and verifies the proof of work. It verifies the merkle proofs for all blockchain state you download to ensure security equivalent to a full node, provided you wait for enough confirmations. You can use the light node to participate in markets. A light node that currently has markets is here. And the interface to look at the markets is here.

Block Explorer

The block explorer for the network is here.

Another explorer is here. This one has some markets where you can gamble.

Veoscan explorer. Nodes, blocks, txs, markets, holders, and more.

Veopool explorer

Full node

Launch an erlang full node and connect to the network

Issue commands to your full node Commands such as:

  • turning the node off without corrupting the database.
  • looking up information from the blockchain or it's history.
  • making a server that collects fees by routing payments or making markets
  • participating in the oracle mechanism or governance mechanism.

Mining

This is an open-source miner for AMD and Nvidia GPU. Currently only works with Linux

This is a miner. it is for Nvidia or AMD GPUs. It is closed-source.

here is another closed source miner

Amoveo's mining algorithm uses SHA256 like bitcoin. But it is a little different, so bitcoin ASICs cannot be used to mine Amoveo.

Full node keys are stored in _build/prod/rel/amoveo_core/keys/keys.db

Trading

Be very careful using exchanges. They are centralized, the operator can take all the veo if they wanted.

There are people trading now on discord https://discord.gg/xJQcVaT

Qtrade exchange for BTC-VEO trading: https://qtrade.io/market/VEO_BTC

Software to launch a new mining pool

If your full node is on a different machine from your miner, you will need a mining pool. Mining pool software can be found here. The "master" branch is for paying out small amounts to each miner with each block. The "classic" version only pays a miner when they find a block.

Developers

If you want to build on top of Amoveo read the developer's guide

Here is an old open-source miner for Nvidia GPU, it works for linux and windows. This software is too slow to be competitive, but it might be useful for educational purposes.
