Vertcoin | Stealth Address | Release

Vertans,
The moment you have all been waiting patiently for has arrived. Tonight, we are proud to present to you Stealth Addresses on the Vertcoin Mainnet!

This is the culmination of months of hard work - the kind of hard work that leaves your brain fried and your fingers cramped by the end of the day.

Vertcoin's Stealth Address implementation is yet another, better reason to adopt Vertcoin as your choice payment method for business or personal use. Business users may have worried anonymous payments would prove too litigious to be practical; Personal users may have worried about the integrity of payments with full anonymity. Now both can rest assured because the privacy Vertcoin's Stealth Addresses provide are right in line with what we would all expect from a world class coin.

Mac:

[dot] = .

NOTE - UNTIL A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF NODES HAVE UPDATED, SX TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE RELAYED, SO DO NOT SEND LARGE AMOUNTS OF VERT IN STEALTH TRANSACTIONS YET, AS THOSE TRANSACTIONS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO MAKE IT INTO A BLOCK AS THE NETWORK UPDATES.


POOL AND P2POOL NODE OPERATORS SHOULD ALSO UPDATE TO THE NEW MON WALLET SO THEY CAN MINE SX TRANSACTIONS. SX INTRODUCTION IS NOT HARDFORKING, BUT SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH SINCE IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET AS MANY NODES AND MINERS UPDATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.


Don't be shy! Let's get the word out and make Vertans out of everyone we meet or talk to :D

Cheers,
bushido

Thanks Erik, Adam and Boris

This is only the beginning...

Is this tech unique or has already been implemented in other coins?

Vertcoin has dropped sharply, and will continue to do so until a smooth reward decrease is introduced.

VTC up 100%...
And even makes the International Business Times.

This is not some slap-on "mixer"...
Stealth addresses were developed by Bitcoin but never implemented.


This may well be the anon solution that is "good enough"...
Rendering all of the "perfect" solutions in the pipeline irrelevant.

And its going down fast enough. Unless you introduce a smoother reward decrease there is no future.

The halving every 4 years is so archaic, I don't know why people still use it.

Back to almost what it was a week before. You should start thinking of the smoother reward decrease.

These Vertcoin devs are too ignorant to do a smoother reward decrease. The # of vertcoins mined and dumped each day is simply remarkable...it's price will never ever get anywhere simply because too many fucking coins are mined everyday, slow the damn block reward for christs sakes..or watch this coin hit 1 cent within the next 3 weeks.
