Download our Latest Core Wallet Now!

With great joy, ODIN Society is happy to announce the latest iteration of the ODIN Blockchain Core Wallet! Any ODIN Blockchain Wallet software less than v1.6.6 should be UPGRADED IMMEDIATELY.

A preplanned fork of the ODIN Blockchain will commence on December 30th, 2019, at roughly 22:00 UTC. If you have not updated your wallet at this point, you may begin mining an INVALID chain resulting in stake rewards being worthless! This mandatory release includes various bug fixes and enhancements downstream from Phore and PIVX. Among these enhancements, users will be able to create and vote upon proposals in the wallet, additional masternode management tools in the wallet, and activation of the SegWit core protocol.

You can find the latest wallet updates for macOS, Windows, and Linux here:

ODIN Blockchain Core Wallet Version 1.6.6 Wallet Overview

Data Updates

As of Wednesday, December 8th, 2019, 10:30 am PST — [Time of writing.]

Masternodes Online → 486

Current Block Height → 633238

Next Superblock → 648000

Total Budget → 108,000 Ø (ODIN Coin)

Allocated → 50,000 Ø (46.29%)

46.29% of October’s Superblock fund has been allocated, as the budget is allocated; this creates competition amongst projects vying for the ODIN in exchange for their development.

In the event that the allocated budget reaches 100%, you may still put forth a developmental proposal. If your idea is found to be more appealing than current developmental proposals and in turn receives more votes than existing proposals you can supersede theirs, resulting in your project being funded in place of theirs.

Overall, this is great for the ODIN ecosphere as more and more developmental efforts are being put forth, causing a naturally competitive environment that you, the participant in the space, will benefit from.

Going Green: Energy Consumption Evaluation Part 1: Proof of Work Consensus Algorithms

The overall argument isn’t whether or not Proof of Work algorithms use mass amounts of energy, but rather is the cost a necessary evil in exchange for immutability and the trustless systems that come with it. Some research on the subject has Bitcoins proof of work driven network uses as much energy globally as Ireland does in its entirety. Other articles claim that the transaction of 1 Bitcoin ‘is equivalent to 330,000 Visa transactions’ (robeco.com); its no surprise proof of work has its neigh sayers. With thousands of personal computers and even more GPUs and ASIC miners, the difficulty and competition for block rewards will only require more energy consumption increases, not less.
