(More) ? Frequently Asked Questions

Proof of Useful Work

As an owner of PAI Coin, how will Proof of Useful Work benefit me?


As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, Proof of Useful Work introduces a new type of user—a requestor—to the ecosystem. Most cryptocurrencies only have one type of user, transactors, who use the coin as a currency, whether for sale or trade or in exchange for other items for purchase. Requestors, on the other hand, will be able to submit requests for computations to be performed by PoUW miners.


This ultimately means that PoUW will enable PAI Coin to serve a dual purpose: (1) As a typical cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others, and (2) as a computational platform… one specifically geared toward intensive processing such as for Machine Learning, Data Mining, or Artificial Intelligence.


Keep in mind: As long as transactors are using PAI Coin, PoUW miners will be running computations anyway, in order to verify transactions. By submitting useful work as a requestor, two things get accomplished at once (transaction verification + the requested useful work). This should result in a comparatively lower cost to requestors than if they had performed the useful work in a more typical fashion, such as on a centralized cloud computing platform.

The potential of PoUW to define a next-generation blockchain computational platform should excite any PAI Coin owner or enthusiast. Because the goal is to support arbitrary on-chain computations, the possibilities and potential scope of applications are virtually limitless.

PAI Hybrid Consensus

Here’s a snapshot ? of some of the commits / PRs by our developers last week:


PAI Forum & PAI Pass

The PAI Forum is currently being tested by community members. Latency and accessibility is being assessed. With good results -- it is hoped that the new PAI Forum will be launched in a matter of days.


PAI Pass has had a number of front-end improvements this past week. PAI Pass users can now easily lookup PDP2 transactions via paichain.info , retrieve a torrent file with a transaction id, send their data to a PAI address, and manage their data subscriptions. Improvements to Oauth 2.0 data management have also been included in the latest release.
