Cannacoin's Advanced PoS: The Power of Kimoto's Gravity Well


Cannacoin's Advanced PoS: The Power of Kimoto's Gravity Well

Introduction

Cannacoin's journey in the blockchain space has been marked by continuous innovation, with a strong focus on efficiency and sustainability. One of the features setting Cannacoin apart is its implementation of Proof of Stake (PoS) along with Kimoto's Gravity Well (KGW). In this blog, we'll delve into what this means and why it's a game-changer.

What is Kimoto's Gravity Well (KGW)?

Kimoto's Gravity Well is an algorithm that adjusts the mining difficulty in real-time. Traditional PoW and PoS systems usually have a fixed interval for difficulty adjustment, which can lead to various security and stability issues. KGW solves this by dynamically adjusting the difficulty, ensuring a smoother and more secure blockchain operation.

Why Combine PoS with KGW?

Energy Efficiency

PoS is already more energy-efficient compared to PoW. With KGW, the algorithm ensures that the mining difficulty adjusts in real-time, making the network even more efficient.

Enhanced Security

KGW's real-time difficulty adjustment also enhances the network's resilience against hash attacks. An attacker would need to overcome continuously adapting difficulties, making it costly and less likely to succeed.

Fairer, More Inclusive Mining

The dynamic adjustment encourages a more even distribution of mining power, reducing the centralization risks inherent in PoW systems.

Benefits for Cannacoin Users

By incorporating KGW into its PoS model, Cannacoin offers:

  • Enhanced Stability: Fluctuations in the network are smoothed out, ensuring a more stable value.
  • Greater Incentives: The real-time adjustments mean that no individual miner or stakeholder can dominate the blockchain, making it more profitable for individual holders.
  • Robust Security: The dual mechanisms make the Cannacoin blockchain one of the most secure in the industry.

Conclusion

Kimoto's Gravity Well isn't just an algorithm; it's a philosophy of fairness, efficiency, and security. When combined with Cannacoin's existing PoS system, it forms an unparalleled framework for sustainable and equitable cryptocurrency.

As always, our source code is open for your scrutiny and collaboration on GitHub.

Cannabis and The Financial System

    While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

    Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
