Vertcoin | Stealth Address | ReleaseVertans, 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. Link : github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/releases/download/v0.8.7.2/vertcoin-0.8.7.2-win32-setup[dot]exe github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/releases/download/v0.8.7.2/vertcoin-qt[dot]exe github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/releases/download/v0.8.7.2/vertcoind[dot]exe [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 Cheers, bushido Thanks Erik, Adam and Boris This is only the beginning... thanks a lot man for all your hard work!

I think temporary closed-source is something darkcoin did right. We should do this too. Only until it's widely accepted that we were the first stealth coin - then open it up. It would be far too easy for someone to steal our thunder right now.
+1Meh, I sold all my darkcoin at 0.01 because it was announced they would keep it closed source for the foreseeable future. I'd probably do the same for vert. That's not something I want to support. That means you sold (drk) less than what it is currently worth. You are suggesting we dump our vertcoin for this pathetic price as well? Pro trading tips right there...LOL. VTC could withhold the source for 30 days or so. No harm in doing that right? even as open source fan i think this is inevitable in this scene atm. too many otherwise will abuse your hard work

Vertans goes to http://x11.greenpool.tk/ --> diff reduces --> VTC become more profitable to be mined by multipools. And now we have rediculous situation - multipools mine VTC to sell it and vertans mine x11 to by VTC... I see something wrong here. I have only one questions - these people who mine on multipool scrypt-n - they live in parallel word or what?.. We must find everyone of them and teach some math, or just kick their asses, or both i also see big problems here: 1. what DarkAGeS says 2. if the x11 vtc miners will sell the coins (and some will most definitely) we have even more sell pressure .. i think mining x11 coins, sell them and buy scrypt-n hashes to mine vtc is a much better solution: 1. the diff is not going down that much -> less interesting for multipools 2. you still support the vtc network because you are still mining vtc (if you mine with your own workers, or if you buy hashes to mine is almost the same) think about it and choose wisely if you realy wanna support vtc over another algo!

Let's me summarize for you.
1. Scrypt-N ASIC, We have looking for another algorithm already. We have planed to implement it in GPU and CPU miner after we released Stealth Addresses.
2. Multiple PoW, In order to change to the new algorithm, it must be smooth transition as much as possible. We have planed to implement multiple PoW from Scrypt-N to the new algorithm. According to the plan, it will be Scrypt-N -> New Agorithm + Scrypt-N -> New Algorithm.
3. Multipool & Inflation, We still discussing the solutions with team members to find the best way to solve it, but it will do nothing until we released Stealth Address.
4. Stealth Address, It is in progressing.
Thanks, bushido
appreciated tx a lot! a cooler algo would be uhm cool if possible

i am tired of all those sectarian that pray to the VTC devs and are telling me that i produce fud or that i am negative...
Where is the problem to address the latest problems and give a clear statement on what is going on atm or what might be done to improve the situation.
scrypt-n is dead... the whole community has moved and history has shown us that we are not looking bad, otherwise we would have seen doge or LTC fight back.
Improvement is the key, but those devs are arrogant as hell.
I am angry, because i am an investor and want to analyze the situation.
So stop telling bullshit about the great future as long as we don't have REAL WORLD solutions.
The reason why i have been in VTC for months now and only day traded the coins once, WAS the dev... the great work and the great PR.
Since the day they announced Stealth addresses the coin went to free fall mode almost.
And i sent them emails with my ideas but they simply don't reply.
so what the hell do you want to do?
and some of us are tired of your whining ... sorry but jeez stop it! as others have mentioned constructive critic is always welcome

because of my high energy prices and the temperatures in my office it is not possible to mine vtc Really?I leave at Southern Europe (35ºC its the normal daily temperature) and my gpu's are at 70ºC. I use a fan! A domestic one C'mon, electricity costs may be an issue, but unless you leave at Middle East high temperatures shouldn't be a problem Agreed. I have my rigs in my garage in Texas. You just gotta get the air flowing in the right direction with box fan(s). Mine haven't gone over 83 or 84 C even when it's up to about 45 C in the garage... uhm different poeple -> different situation. i don't have a garage and i'm running 11 GPU's + 3 raid server and other it stuff in a little office with 1 little window. i'm going over 85 C in 30 minutes with scrypt or scrypt-n even at night no matter how much fans i use! so i have to buy aircondition or lower itensity and loose money, or switch algo and buy scrypt-n hashes (which has proven to be the best solution for summer) .... on the plus side i can my turn off my radiator in winter

0.8.7.1 wallet is still the latest wallet version so no update possible...
have you tried without a conf file? yes still the same hmm the only idea i have left is to delete the chain and resynch. but i'm not a tech geek ... you can also ask boris or vertcoin via pm for help. Make sure you backup your wallet.dat first! That is very very important just in case you accidentally clear out the entire Vertcoin folder. bengx thanks! i forgot to mention this

hi all, roughly when vertcoin prices will soar again, I still keep my vert has not sold, still confused waiting for prices to rise, but I am afraid of getting the price down dramatically Hi tuanvie. Vertcoin is one, if not the best coin you may invest in. When all the craziest hype about new coins, and when people realize that ASIC's are evil and against all the philosophy behind cryptos, Vertcoin will be the major coin in the scene. Vertcoin is frightening a LOT of people, because its truly decentralized. Price may not rise that much that fast. My opinion is, don´t sell. If you can, buy some more. Time will reward you and all of us. + 1 think about how much coins from the 600+ atm will survive. i guess maybe 5 and i bet vtc will be one of them. i don't care if it takes 1 year or 2, vtc was allways a long term coin for me. there are more than enough d&b coins out there to play with in the meantime

Boris can u give us maybe an idea when you plan to release marketing activities? I would also appreciate a hint or 2 about the activities (ofc reveal not too much ). just try to find the perfect time to buy some more. because of my high energy prices and the temperatures in my office it is not possible to mine vtc atm. to support vtc further i mine x11 and x13 on nicehash ( https://nicehash.com). i don't buy vtc direct with my btc revenue, i buy Scrypt-N hashes on nicehash and let it mine on my vtc pool of trust. maybe an idea for others with high energy and temp. problem like me to support the vtc network while mining something else. if you have better ideas let us miner know! tx and keep on the good work! (as always: pls excuse my english)

Just completed the Garden of the Gods 10 Mile Run today. New blog post on vertcoinathlete.com. Check it out! Hopefully they got some good pics from the race, I was in the Vertcoin Athlete jersey! Follow me on Twitter: @VertcoinAthlete. wow cool where can i buy this clothes? planing to run a half marathon (22km) in fall this year. would love to do this with some vtc clothes. --------------------------------- @mig5000 i understand your fear but i think you are wrong (holding several thousand vtc myself). your suggestions would maybe raise the value of vtc short term, but cause harm long term (loosing credibility & trust) i have full faith in the vtc team, will hold my coins for the next month or years and even buy some from time to time innovations such as stealth adresses, and other things like that are the way to improve the value and i think this is the route boris and his gang will take. i'm sure we will see some ups und downs in the coming months/years but i guess you have to live with the volatility if you invest in cryptos. btw. vtc was already a this level some time ago ... so business as usual in crypto land

We have been like this for almost a week and have remained floating around 1 USD. That's pretty damn good, in my opinion.
+1 +1 Higly proftitable - for me i have to throw 1200W @ 0,4$/KwH makes me electricity cost of 11.52US$ I will earn around 5 VTC which is 4.92US$ so alltogether itīs only a loss of 6.63US$ each day Thats profitable, for POWER Agency and government. Mining in EU is a shit. Mning with GPU is dying or will be dezentralized to third world, only they donīt have the hardware to do so. Conclusion - well i mine x11 & x13 coins (30% - 50% less energy) try to sell them at peak price (some kind of lotto ) and buy vtc as low as possible with the btc i get. it can be a lot of work, but most of the time i'm not mining with a loss (around 0.3$/kwh here) stealth adress in june - cool! good compromise btw anon. and acceptance for governments and tax offices but wtf is electrum any link/info where i can find info about that? -tx

NoticeAnyone having issues setting up or running via p2pool, HashHarder (sister site to Verters' Pool) has a fully working Merge Mine non p2pool up and running since almost launch time. You don't need to register (just like p2pool), and payouts go straight to your wallets (again similar to p2pool, and especially in this case, as payments can only be sent after the coin matures - 120 blocks). You simply connect to stratum+tcp://www.hashharder.com:9950 Set your username as -u <VertcoinAddress>.<MonocleAddress> -p x Where there is a (dot) between your both addresses. Then, your monocle stats and scheduled payouts (well the most recent 1,000 are listed, though all payouts are made) are here: http://www.hashharder.com/scrypt-n/monocle%20mergedYour vertcoin stats and scheduled payouts are here: http://www.hashharder.com/scrypt-n/vertcoin%20mergedIts almost like you are mining on two pools at the same time! Couldn't be simpler. Help us grow i use 4 workers. 3 with the same hashrate (around 1.1mh/s) and one with a little less (720 kh/s) can use the same vtc and monocle adress on your stratum server for all workers or should i us different adresses like on p2 pool bcause of the diff setting? if i can use the same for all worker i will maybe change from current p2 pool thanks for your answer

Ok, just for the noobs like me: finally it works! i have a ubuntu 14.04 LTS running on an old sys (athlon x2 2ghz, 4gb ram, 20gb hdd) and installed it following this howto as a p2pool node. http://coingolem.com/how-to-setup-your-own-p2pool-node-144/tip one: read it without touching your wannabe-node from top to bottom! tip two: follow the white rabbit instructions! (vertcoind --daemon takes some time!) after installing the vertcoind and p2pool software i installed the monocled, edited the /home/*your_name*/.monocle/monocle.conf and started monocled --daemon. after i installed all, i was searching for some data... is this thing running? only info i got was for the p2pool_run... showing me some data about vtc. i pointed my 2 rigs (~1.1mh/s together) to my node and checked if they are shown in my browser pointed to my p2pool node (for me: 192.168.0.109:9171) and waited... and waited... and spamed the forum here... and waited, getting bored, waited some more... falling asleep! this morning i checked with monocled listtransactions and see what i found! [ { "account" : "", "address" : "M8qqY2r9RBnVnk2WaQBmcvpm6KFUVzkY6v", "category" : "immature", "amount" : 8.04000000, "confirmations" : 72, "generated" : true, "blockhash" : "ec3c217b8b33e1c560c5c012f2a8e52004ed0cecf8f2ada880947b13768171af", "blockindex" : 0, "blocktime" : 1399100550, "txid" : "c9d558490224d51592ce2f2a3758e970df62d4537087e0b5e7c0c5e8a444f0bc", "normtxid" : "77f8eb815cb8f340d419119640da226ef53f04691e9edae2aef6742c9a541c57", "time" : 1399100550, "timereceived" : 1399100608 } ]
OK... to say it clear and without any chance of misunderstanding: If you setup your own (private) p2pool node you will mining monocle solo!so here comes the jedi academy pro tip: be patience young padawan! ps: i'll write a howto/summary for seting up a p2pool (private) node after my shopping and household stuff... What if I am using VTC_ADDRESS+DIFF for my p2pool with solo MON. Is it ok or I have to remove manual diff adjustment? afaik you should remove man diff!
