Does anyone have any idea how to unlock an UNencrypted wallet?
Trying to mine and getting the following errors on an UNencrypted wallet.
"Unable to sign block, wallet locked?"
it sounds like it's still locked. do you have the .conf properly set for mining? you have to use algo= in the .conf How is it possible for an unencrypted wallet to be locked? It's not. Yes, I'm setting the algo in the configuration file just as I did with 3 other coins I'm mining without any issues. It detects this setting just fine, getinfo() returns the correct PoW algo. It's obviously an issue with the coin. Even trying to manually submit a block fails with the same wallet locked error. I've started hacking out large portions of the code to see if I can get the SignBlock() function in main.cpp working properly.
Why does it take an hour or more after starting the wallet before it becomes responsive?
Why does everyone in this thread (including the creators of the coin) only care about the price of the coin? (This question is rhetorical)
i've never once discussed the price, as a matter of fact, i've said many times i refuse to speculate. i've never seen the qt wallet take an hour or more. usually it takes about 10-15 minutes. if you are running the windows version, it can take a long time if you start clicking the splash screen until it becomes unresponsive... I'm running it in linux on an 8 core server with 16gb of memory. It's painful to try to figure out why I can't mine because any changes I make take an hour of waiting before I can test them. And, since testnet isn't working properly either.... I can't use testnet to test the changes. Also, I'm running 2.1.0. I've tried precompiled binaries and compiling from git source myself. Some wallets work better in win others on Linux. Mine is running spectacularly on windows. Splash screen stays up for 15 mins or so before wallet loads but that’s the only annoying issue. I’ve been doing this for years and when there is a wallet or mining issue it’s usually the persons OS, a diff software conflict, virus protection, ports not open or just missing something when they work with the wallet or mining .bat file. Especially if most other people don’t have issues with it. It helps when you post your .bat file and tell us what mining software your using and/or posting your .conf file so different sets of eyes can look at it. Just saying things don’t work without anyone seeing what your doing makes it difficult to troubleshoot. Thanks, I've been doing this since 2011 and have been a linux systems administrator professionally since 2001. It's an issue inside the code, specifically with the SignBlock function. Since the function serves no purpose other than to verify the pubkey exists in the wallet, I'm compiling now to ignore that code inside of submitblock(). I suspect this will work and I will be able to mine finally.. I just wish I had spent more time learning C. There are some things about the code I don't understand. not sure what kind of hashpower you have, but if you're mining to localhost, you're probably just getting orphan blocks, because unless you have a pretty serious farm, there is no way you are getting blocks solo mining on any of the 5 algorithms we offer... |

Hi guys, I can't get my Electrum wallet to sync. When I open it looks like it will, then goes red and doesn't show any new transactions to my wallet. Any advice?
if you are running windows, switch to 2.4.1. it has multiple server options =] |

When is planned the rebrand of XVG please ?
we are definitely not rebranding. XVG/VERGE is staying VERGE. this is not good, coin needs rebranding, price is stuck again and only going down we need new logo and fixes The price isn't going anywhere while Bitcoin et al are on a bull-run, I think we will have to reach new ATHs in bitcoin before people funnel money back into altcoins. I don't think we'll have any breathers before > $5k the most surefire way to increase the value per XVG coin is to increase the network effect. Build a "localverge.com" similar to localbitcoins and allow p2p OTC/IRL trading - perhaps build it on TOR or i2p as well as clearnet to stay "on brand" - allowing for privacy options, while not alienating the technically inept. the community can start holding XVG meetups and events. ive been pushing for this for a while now. i live in silicon valley and it would be a good starting point for this project. sunerok has killed it with exciting new tech, however, a bunch of fanboys and twitter shills are not going to convince the public... the market is dominated by low supply / low cap coins, which verge is not. and in the long run this will probably be an advantage, because it is the only privacy focused coin that is literally built to scale past these cult-pump days of coins with absolutely no utility aside from speculative investment vehicles. thoughts? heyyy sup trilla! crazy you mention that, because a team is actually creating localvergecurrency.com as we speak! i always thought you might be psychic ;] ps: you can sign up to be notified when it goes live on their site. |

Is it impossible to mine verge or what? Wallet is perpetually locked even when it's not encrypted. When it's encrypted and unlocked, it's still locked.
It's looking like I have to modify the wallet to mine on it?
Shitcoin alert.
it's looking like you just don't know what you're doing. noob alert. |

our new electrum server infrastructure (for tor + clearnet) is syncing right now, and should be live the moment in finishes in ~6 hours. we've also uploaded our electrum server code here: https://github.com/vergecurrency/electrum-serverwe are working on an easy deployment script for it, and the servers will communicate with one another, creating a more decentralized electrum network for verge. what this means for you: our electrum clients (clearnet, tor, and i2p) and tor android wallet wont ever have scaling issues anymore! |

we just pushed another update to the android tor wallet, so everyone make sure you've updated =]

hi all, Just started to mine X17 and noticed the windows electrum wallet takes a constant 800 kb/s which is quite high for a wallet app from my experience. Is this high bandwidth normal for the electrum wallet  tnx yall. there's no reason to just leave it open if you arent using it... but it's a lite app, and doesn't require downloading the blockchain. |

Hi, When i search my recieving address from the tor client in a explorer, it doesnt find a address?? It does says i have xvg in the left bottom. please help
probably searching the wrong address |

several new electrum and electrum tor servers have been created yesterday and today, new electrum clients will be out shortly, as well as an update to the tor android wallet =]
will there be a tor electrum osx wallet? there already is actually! but it will be updated with the windows and linux versions probably tmrw. the last servers are finishing syncing now =] |

Is this a copy of Monero?
no of course not. monero is a copy of bytecoin. we are not based on either. Is there a side by side chart of monero and XVG so that we can differentiate which one is more better not that im aware of, but i can tell you one major difference is we hide the users ip address. monero does not. |

For some reason the Windows VERGE wallet ( non TOR) just crashed when trying to launch the EXE and the tor wallet, never syncs. Has anyone had any success using these wallets with a windows 8.1 machine?
there's actually a new release for that: https://github.com/vergecurrency/electrum-xvg/releasesIf I'm reading the info right there are only two servers. Any plans for a third? I'm glad to see that a second was added. I learned the hard way about single server electrum wallets (when the server fails you have no access to your coins until it is back up). That is what kept me from trying this one out. Also any eta on the update to the core wallet? I am getting tired of long load times. At least XVG isn't my longest loader... Anyone else see this random reference to Verge in the almost mainstream media https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/17/crypto-asset-visualizer-turns-your-bitcoin-into-a-ar-pile-of-cash/? yes i saw! very cool that verge made a secret appearance at techcrunch =] there will be more servers than just two. also, in the next electrum wallet update, the wallet will automatically find electrum servers online, instead of having them hardcoded! (also an easy to deploy electrum server script will be made avail, for complete decentralization of the electrum wallet) |

Hi Dev!
Please when Electrum wallet will work normally? I can not access and trade my funds. Downloaded new version and it gives me error. It is not sinchronizing.
Maybe you have to add an extra server to connect to. Personally I use the Verge wallet (windows) and not the Electum version. Works all the time, no problems with it But how to add it? EDIT: Found it! Thanks! No connection,may be they are working on some upgrades,but no official statement about it. Strange electrum-xvg.stream was just added, a new binary for electrum will be released shortly. also a new update for the android tor wallet will be out today =] |
