by Malcolm MacLeod, Lead Developer at Gulden.com For those who don’t already know about Gulden; Gulden uses a unique consensus algorithm which we call PoW² that combines traditional “proof of work” mining with a secondary system of “witnesses” to greatly enhance security. To be a witness coin holders must lock substantial funds up for…

Gulden has been created within the mindset that blockchain, although being a powerful technology, could be way more user-friendly and robust than what has been displayed in the crypto landscape thus far. As of today Gulden has become one off the most secure and energy-efficient blockchains ever created. Next to that it…

By Malcolm, lead developer at Gulden.com It has once again been a busy few months for the development team, with work split up amongst multiple different projects all of which are challenging in their own right and even more so when all going on simultaneously. Unity/iOS Earlier in the year we saw the release…

Over the weekend release on testnet and then barring any major unexpected tragedies devs will set an activation date for mainnet release.

The Gulden iOS wallet has just received the long awaited update. This version (1.9) now also has a Buy button to buy Gulden directly from the wallet. This service is running through Nocks.com.

Is this backup technique safe and reliable? In this article, we will discuss this technique in more detail. History In the early days of cryptocurrencies, and still now with…
From the Gulden Development Team: We have a todo-list for the development of phase 4. The estimated time to finish the todo-list is currently 6-7 weeks. This is incl. the added changes to algorithm and blockreward. Please note that during testing and development items can be added to the todo-list.
When phase 4 is released, it will bring new functionality to everybody who is operating as a witness. In this post we would like explain what this new functionality is. (Thanks to Malcolm for the summary and Aat for the stAatistics) COMPOUNDING OF EARNINGS Option to automatically add the rewards you receive for being…
A button was added to the Gulden.com website that brings people who are interested directly to the active branche on Github, making it easier to track the development of Gulden. The button dynamically changes when new phases are entered.
Published by the GAB: 1: Changing the Algorithm Rijk points out that it is key that mining within the Gulden network is – and stays – stable. Currently the hashrate has a big variation, mainly caused by the current division of multi/jump‐pools versus dedicated Gulden miners. The Blockchain is then at risk of getting…
