Hello again!
We haven't posted for a while here on steemit but now we are back, this time with a juicy bounty. The picture below pretty much explains what you need to do to get the job done:
Essentially, we need a person that can come up with an algorithm compatible with ePL (the programming language of xel) that is efficient at yielding solutions for the Traveling Salesman Problem. It can be compatible with the simulated annealing solution algorithm, but if you have better ideas for it then please don't hesitate to experiment with it. We are a community that is willing to help with knowledge, if needed.
What is in for you ?
- 3.000 XEL coins, worth of approximately 250 USD with current prices ( $0.083253 USD per coin)
- If you decide to blog about your solution on steemit we have a few dolphins that will upvote your post and get you rewards worth of at least 3-5 $ (again, with current prices)
- Utopian-io has a good track record of upvoting high quality, open-source related posts, so you MAY get an upvote from them too, as XEL is an open-source project. Please note, we are in no way related with utopian-io so we can't of course make any guarantees about that!
- All SBD generated from this post will be converted to STEEM and transferred to your account.
- The eternal love of the XEL community!
What is epl?
ePL is a programming language which was specifically designed for coding algorithms to be executed on the XEL computation node network. Its syntax is very similar to the C programming languages.
However, since nodes on the XEL network download and execute code from potentially dangerous sources, a few adaptations were necessary to ensure that code written in ePL can cause no harm to the system it is executed on.
You can learn more about ePL and XEL at our wiki:

Tags
We have used utopian-io and steemstem to tag this post as we believe these are two communities that might have people with the required skillset willing to help us with this bounty. We hope you don't mind :)
