and please read the rest of the conversation... i don't know how much more transparent we can be about this topic... believe it or not, running an exchange is a serious business. Crypto is cutting edge and there are a lot of grey space in regards to what is legal or not. Most of that space carries a stiff fine and possible jail sentence (refer to bitinstant, silkroad, satoshidice). When our legal counsel, perkinscoie, who is a major firm in the crypto space, advise us not to do something. We listen. The FUD in here doesn't seem to grasp that concept. richie@bittrex The truth is that you can't control what people buy with any of the coins listed on your site. I think that is partially why this particular coins situation continues to be an outlier. |

You mean regrets? I regret not selling at 500 sat. lol lol dude you are always holding out for a higher price no matter what it is at aren't you?  |

yes it is always right to ask questions but when presented with factual answers we don't need to keep repeating what amount to accusations of dishonesty.
Open source software development is cool because it allows developers to add on each others work and we keep moving forward. People take parts of code from all sorts of places to incorporate into their wallets.
I think people mistake phrases like "engineered from the ground up" to mean "I coded this whole thing from scratch". Personally I dislike phrases similar to that for that very reason.
Anyway. I love participating in new coins and I am not concerned at all about being "scammed" because I would not let myself be. These people aren't asking for your life savings just a little bit of processing power which you are voluntarily giving to them.
I agree with you Digithusiast that I hope John will be trustworthy.
I love participating in new coins too Jookly. Thats why i'm here. But when I saw a closed wallet, no confg file to gpu mine to, an algorithm that everyone can mine and more I started thinking. ( I was scammed so many times before sending my hash into the dev pocket ) He has a closed wallet. He had many forks. ok Im patient. But adding all the things that were going on, I started thinking that he could be mining at high hash getting many coin to dump while we have low hash and very little coins with a known algorithm. And that's why I said scam alert, not it's a scam. If anything, he should call this whirl-r or something like that. Saying that he forked it with whirl. Now that would be cool. Ya I do understand your general concerns, and there is no way to say what will happen, I guess we will have to wait and see. A fair distribution is an ideal that coins strive to achieve and so I think it will be difficult for a group to ever agree on a perfect distribution but who knows maybe this coin will be a step in a positive direction. Either way I'm going to have some for my collection |

Really hope you are wrong. It would be so disappointing if this was just another foolaround coin. Too many of those lately, last few weeks we already had diodecoin and optimumcoin cheating the community. So sad if Vanillacoin turns out to be one alike.
Yes i'm trying to help us not getting burnt. Thats all. When he said new...it is not...I have been mining this algo for a while. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=679134.0Bullshit. If you were interested in the truth you would simply apologize for your mistake. Explain re-targeting please. A re-targeting algorithm is what the software uses to determine the difficulty of the blocks being mined. Many coins have made small (and large) attempts to refine the difficulty retargeting for a variety of block chain health purposes. It's a really big topic actually and I am far from being an expert at any of this so if you want to know more about retargeting in general or the specifics of this coins new retargeting algo you will need to do your own research. Hopefully that helps you understand that the dev has not been disingenuous. Ok cool but its still not a new algo. ok dude but what you really want to communicate is that it is not a new hashing algorithm. Since the dev took the time to communicate clearly I think it is basic respect to not ignore the context of the word algorithm. Having a misunderstanding is fine, everyone does it from time to time. |

Be patient, I just invented a new algorithm that's never been tested before mid-stream release.
It will be soon. The biggest problem is my slow CPU's compiling windows code.
I will update shortly.
Thank you for your support.
Isn't that whirlcoin algo... c11 ? see no answer He's probably not answering you directly because he has better stuff to do like get the wallet working. You think you are a super clever sleuth who cracked the case but if you took the time to read the whitepaper in the original post you would see that it states quite plainly "The chosen algorithm is Whirlpool". So this isn't a secret or something that the dev was hiding from the community. You are like a troll without a bridge. If you took time to read....he said he created a new algo...it's old you troll...just trying to bring truth to this. He said he created a new difficulty retargeting algorithm. Go ahead and tell me how I can't read again. |

how about replace it with the straton oakmont lion   |
|
|

Dev fall asleep?
yes he said he will try again after he rests. |
|
|
|
I will update after I get some rest.  Thank you for your support. sounds good. Hoping for a working Mac client when you try again. thank you. |
|
|
|
|
Okie.
So we are going to try again later then?
Sounds good to me.
I will be here to test again when it is time.

The error that is stopping the mac client from working:
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error: number of bits above maximum work
Abort trap: 6
The other issue I am having is that even though I ran the old client successfully I do not have a ~/Library/Application Support/Vanillacoin folder (checked hidden as well) so I am unsure if I have the old blockchain stored anywhere.
All help is appreciated

New Mac client crashes on opening for me. Ok thanks.
For whatever reason that folder doesn't exist on my computer even though I already ran the old Vanillacoin client.
Since that folder isn't there I should just try running the new one and hope for the best I guess?
both win and lin use hidden folders. i imagine mac does too? un-hide those bad boys Thank you I will check that. |

To reset the Mac OS X block chain:
In Finder "Go to" ~/Library/Application Support and remove the Vanillacoin folder.
I am uploading new builds now. Please delete your old blockchain to prevent a crash.
Thank you for your support.

Just a few minutes on the linux build to complete.
Thank you for your support.
Thanks Dev. Can you give me instructions on how to proceed with resetting the mac wallet when you have a chance? Thank you. |
|

|

Can someone help me with how to reset the blockchain on a mac? I have never ran a mac wallet before
|

Looking good Dev.
Thanks for meeting all your goals so far.
I've never understood people that demand updates in between updates.
Ucoin is developing really well from my perspective.

I almost got some for a second there but it must have orphaned because it disappeared from immature and changed to "Mined (Unaccepted)".
Getting about 400 KH/s on a mid 2013 macbook.
Hopeful to find a few coins.
