ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Brief description:
Epic Cash is designed to be a currency for everyone and combines the privacy-protecting MimbleWimble protocol with sound economics and fair distribution.
Description:
Epic is a MimbleWimble-based coin with fungible, fast, and highly scalable transactions. 3 billion people have no access to or are under-served by the modern financial system. Reaching these people is our responsibility. We will be airdropping to new users as in the early days of Bitcoin. We see our project as returning to Crypto’s roots. We want what Satoshi originally intended: True P2P Internet cash, open to all.
Key differentiators:
Grin and Beam are two popular MimbleWimble-based projects. We are differentiated in a few key ways:
- Three different algorithms that allow CPU, GPU, and ASICs to mine for the coin, we achieve the most diversely distributed PoW coin.
- A unique “Bitcoin-like” emission schedule, where our emission rate is accelerated relative to Bitcoin’s, but will match Bitcoin’s coin supply and emission schedule sometime in 2028, to let the currency serve as an ideal store of value.
- By combining several of the best privacy and scalability technologies together, we aim to create a currency which can serve as an ideal medium of exchange.
Main application:
Privacy-protecting peer-to-peer internet cash. Store of value and medium of exchange.
Development status:
Active mainnet. Network is complete, tested, and working.
Epic Cash is not a security token.
Epic Cash did not have a premine, token sale, or fundraising. It had an open source community launch
Technical Instructions for Exchange Integration
Example of receiving EPIC through exchange node
//
// How receive epic cash from extrernal exchange service user and check if user is in database.

Wallet Worker Setup Instructions
const { spawn } = require('child_process')
var arg = [];
let wallet = spawn('epic-wallet', arg, {cwd:arg[3]} )
setTimeout(function(){
process.send(wallet.pid)
},3000);

console.log(` wallet stdout: ${data}`);
})
wallet.on('error', (error)=>{
console.log(error)
})
wallet.on('close', (code)=>{
console.log("close ",code)
})
Example of reading transactions from epic wallet node
//
// How look at txs from epic-wallet. It works with walletworker.js file
// This example is most hardcore than our receive epic cash example
// but if you understand how it works then it will open your mind for many hidden possibilities.
//
// Copyrights by Fast Epic Team 2019. Enjoy and use this little crazy software.
