What is the current main objective for Swap?

The main objective is to remain an ethical, useful, and fair crypto coin. For Swap, this includes robust privacy, ecosystem fairness, full transparency, secure blockchain, and ease of use.

With Swap you can expect no compromises with governance fees, no premine, and no BS.

Is MimbleWimble Cuckoo?

No, MimbleWimble is the protocol (like CryptoNote). Cuckoo is the original algorithm Cuckatoo and Cuckaroo are based on. Cuckatoo is the ASIC friendly algorithm and Cuckaroo is the GPU friendly algorithm.

Swap uses the CryptoNote protocol for transactions and a Cuckaroo variant for mining.

Why is Swap going to fork and when?

CryptoNight is slow on GPUs because FPGAs can use embedded RAM. Further variants of CryptoNight will buy time but do not solve anything long-term.

Cuckaroo Cycle PoW brings superior protection and stability to the Swap network. The fork was at 2/20 10:30 AM UTC.

What makes Swap different from other CryptoNote coins?

We use Moneros way of handling transactions (BulletProof) and a Grin-like way of mining (Cuckaroo Cycle PoW).

Swap will stay close to Monero technology-wise while using a different PoW algorithm.

How can someone without coding skills help the project?

Learn the technology. It's easier to explain things when you understand them better. Then you can form opinions about the technology's potential, or lack thereof.

Spread the word about Swap and bring all kinds of people in, regardless of coding skills. Even reach out to haters, because they help to make the community more robust.

Why do addresses start with "fh"?

The two letters are from the initials of FreeHaven. After re-branding to Swap, the address was kept to simplify compatibility with legacy addresses and to remember where the project originated from.

CryptoNote is a robust privacy protocol for blockchain.

Transaction technology

CryptoNote uses ring signatures, a sophisticated scheme requiring several different public keys to verify a transaction.

The transaction is signed by multiple users anonymously. Only signing users have knowledge of sender and receiver.

Ring signatures restrict double-spending attempts by linking transactions with the same private key. The protocol uses the key image, derived from a private key through an unidirectional function.

Users store all images and verify them against new transactions. If there is a double key image, the transaction is rejected as a double-spending attempt. Meanwhile the identity of the sender remains unknown, it's not possible to get a private key from an image.

The protocol generates multiple unique one-time addresses for each payment from the unique public key. The sender uses random data and the receiver's public address to generate a one-time key.

The redeemable funds require the receivers private key. They are the only one who can receive the funds sent to the one-time address. A third party can't see the connection between the one-time key and the public address of the receiver.

Supply and emission

Genesis on November 16, 2018, at 09:06:03 (UTC).

Total supply is 18,400,000 XWP.

Emission Chart

Tail emission

When the block reward is below tail emission block reward, the tail emission phase will begin. Block reward will be constant at 0.075 Swap.

The kickoff will be year 8 from genesis block. This is after roughly 16,000,000 blocks found, or 18,085,000 into coin emission. During tail emission there will be 157,680 coins mined each year.

Swap is the first CryptoNote coin securing their network by implementing mining with the Cuckaroo Cycle PoW.
Cuckoo Github 

Simplest PoW algorithm

"With a 42-line complete specification, Cuckatoo Cycle is less than half the size of either SHA256 or Blake2b. While trivially verifiable, finding a 42-cycle, on the other hand, is far from trivial, requiring considerable resources."
  - John Tromp

The most efficient way to find cycles

Step one is removing edges that are not part of a cycle (99.9%). Step two is a backtracking graph traversal to find all cycles.

Swap uses 32 edge trimming cycles.

Lean and mean mining

Miners use 1 bit per edge and 1 bit per node. Finding node bits in random sequence causes a bottleneck which makes mining memory latency bound.

The majority of this form of mining is done in a very simple way.

Decreased hash confirmation time

Less server overhead making processing more efficient.

CryptoNote and Cuckaroo hybrid monster

Swap is keeping CryptoNote for transactions with anonymity features and user friendliness. Meanwhile, for mining, adopting Cuckaroo with superior network protection and stability.

CryptoNight mining is vulnerable to FPGA and ASIC network attacking.

Cuckoo

Cuckaroo29s vs Cuckaroo29

Cuckaroo29s uses 32-cycles while Cuckaroo29 uses 42-cycles. Both cycling ratios produce similar performances.
