Then we've found the issue! Synchronization for blocks coming after the vCrypt value change at block 420000 has been fixed with version 2.2.1, as up to 2.2 there were some missing instructions for the new context.

Sure there is, the fastest way you can install vDinar on Linux is through Snapcraft, which lets you install it with one click instead of compiling all on your own (here's the link). This means you can install vDinar through the Ubuntu Software Center or whatever equivalent your platform includes!
If you want to compile vDinar for yourself though, you can of course do it by following the instructions you'll find in the docs. Here's the Github page, and here's the v2.2.1 release.

Well you can either mine it with a CPU using Svarog or mine it with a GPU using Triglav for AMD or Veles for Nvidia! Have a good mining!

Nodes are definitely active, are you sure you have the latest wallet version? There were syncing issues with previous ones which have been fixed. If that's not the issue let me know so I can help you!

The K25 fork (improving the way local donations are calculated) has been deployed succesfully after block 630000, both regarding the coin itself and the way the pool has been updated to work with the new algorithm. No issues have been encountered at all, and miners do not need any updates to work with the fork, as the previous code already supported a versatile behaviour towards the pool.

Interesting game, I hope the winner will use those VDNs wisely! 

My bad, didn't notice the new answers!

Of course VDN is still active, there are always hardcoded nodes running no matter what (minerja what issues are you encountering by the way?)
As the last Windows build had an issue with newer versions of MiniUPnP non-hardcoded nodes are not communicating between themselves, but rather all communicate to the hardcoded nodes, and those hardcoded nodes share everthing with anyone else; so don't worry if you get only 2 active connections, you're just not getting access to the 2.2 Windows nodes (as the issue is only build-related). I hope I'll get that library straight too, but I really didn't want to keep VDN running on obsolete and unsecure libraries, it's better to work on new and secure ones. It did well for all the other libraries, MiniUPnP is the last issue.

As for the exchanges, as you probably all already know, we got our own "Voda" made as a platform for anyone who'd like to trade, but yes, there's no buying volume, which is why I understand if you're expecting other exchanges. If we keep pushing together we can all mean something and get some external exchange to list us, so if you would like that we can organize more on that side! I'm there to support any community-based initiative that can help the project, as I always did until now.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ vDinar is now using vCrypt 11 (2048)

A reminder of the new mining options you'll have to use:

Depending on your mining software (Svarog, Triglav or Veles) the new start options from block 420'000 may vary:


Svarog

Algorithm name on Svarog changes to vcrypt:2048 (2048 being 2^N, or 2^11). Therefore, the new algorithm option will look like:
-a vcrypt:2048
or
--algo vcrypt:2048


Triglav

On Triglav you can choose different ways of displacing for the new N factor:

1) By changing the algorithm name with the option:
--algorithm adaptive-n-factor
This algorithm name is already packaged with the new N factor 11.
Remember not to use this for the next N factor change in 2024 though but to either choose method 2 or 3 in this list.

2) [RECCOMENDED] You can add a new N factor option besides the standard algorithm name option:
--algorithm vcrypt --nfactor 11

3) If you want to specify the N factor for a specific pool, no algorithm name changes are needed, but you'll need to add a new option for pool mining:
--pool-nfactor 11


⚠️ Update! Veles' (Nvidia miner) instructions have been fixed.

Veles:

Algorithm name on Veles changes to vcrypt:10 (the N factor is adjusted by 1 in the code). Therefore, the new algorithm option will look like:
-a vcrypt:10
or
--algo vcrypt:10

Hi albanes,
we are having good results with wallet implementation in our local area, many new people are interested in vDinar and they're always satisfied. We're slowly cutting ourselves from the outside crypto-world and going on our own. That's why we're not planning to add any other exchange, we already have Voda Exchange, the official place to trade VDN, and we're opening a legal society to let us trade fiat currencies for VDN.

Unfortunately there are many accounts farming ranks. Though, since the "merit" update, this is not happening anymore, or at least not as massively as before!

Hi kostepanych!
I manually solved the issue in our database and then fixed the typo in Voda's code.
When filling orders were bigger than the existing orders it was still including the whole remaining filling amount in every single order instead of the existing order's amount. Anyway, I hope you'll never encounter any similar issues! Good luck with your experience on Voda!

Hi kostepanych,
I will try to fix this immediately, I probably wrongly applied the Bitcoin calls to VDN and is therefore giving you a wrong balance. Anyway, please send me all your actions through pm!

And Bitsquare!

How am I expected to foresee wether external, unknown exchanges are reliable or scams? Our users were advicing me to apply for listing and I just satisfied them (as you may understand people really want to trade it as soon as possible), unfortunately it once happened that it was a scam (JamBTC). Though I always told you all: we already have a listing on Bisq Exchange, decentralized and secure 100%, it's harder to understand but if you don't want to risk any coin that's the place, they even trade all kinds of fiat currencies; or wait us with our new Voda Exchange. Well, some people wanted it to be too easy and fast and risked their wallets, that's not up to me, they chose. I do still try to work on blacklisting all transactions from JamBTC deposits in a future version, though that's all I can do.


You're completely right about it, that's why we're doing our best to get all the needed. It's not daily stuff to open a legal society so please understand the wait.
In the meantime, I'd just suggest you to think about this: I have been working for the last year entirely on virtual Dinar, and now I did Voda to let our users feel secure and have a non-volatile place to trade it. Would you expect me to trash an entire year of hard work, no-sleep nights and effort just for a little delusional scam exchange to take place? This really wouldn't be worth the effort, not even by far.


Hi proo7,
Voda is centralized, though if you would like to trade virtual Dinar on a decentralized exchange you can download Bitsquare, we're also there!

Hi kostepanych,
we did open Voda exchange exclusively with a VDN/BTC pairing but we're doing our best to register a society and bring the fiat currencies in! I think there's no better way to start trading VDN on a serious way, after that surely we'll consider some new exchanges once we can prove our reliability with a stable market at least!

Thank you!

Thank you! Tell us your experience so we can improve it!
