the android wallet is already done being beta tested, there were 10 people, and they tested 2 versions. the second was perfect =]

if you want to PM me your email address, i can notify you of future beta tests.

as for the faucet, we're just making a new wallet for it, since the last one got very bloated from being abused/overplayed so much, we'll post a message here once it's back up. (it will pay out less and be restricted to paying out once per day, per ip address)

16.5 billion* when we're done minting.. we didn't build this currency for everyone to get rich over night. we did it with fair distribution in mind. price was never on the list of priorities for verge. the values that make a good currency are all we focus on:

public ledger, so people can see distribution and easily verify transactions. seeing distribution is important, because with alot of currencies, especially high volume ones, many of them achieved that by just a few people accumulating a majority of the supply at a low cost, then inflating the price. that really isn't a secret to most who have been in the crypto-space for the last 3-5 years. by the way, these people have almost complete control over whatever market they have a majority of the supply in. they can make the price go to 0, or double, instantly, at any time. coins without a public ledger, will never receive mainstream adoption.

user privacy, so that the public ledger could be maintained, but also a user's ip address wasn't exposed to the network, allowing his physical location at the time, and identity, be easily tracked by anyone with nefarious intent. (most coins broadcast user ip's which make users VERY EASILY tracked to their physical location, like zcash, pivx, dash, etc) also, with user privacy, we want to keep providing a wide array of privacy resources, like our i2p and tor electrum wallets, the new tor-only and i2p-only android wallets coming out, tor/i2p web based wallets, etc..

fair distribution, so that anyone can obtain coins through mining, because of our option of 5 different proof of work algorithms that are cpu and gpu friendly, and of course, the large supply created initially. this gives a fair amount of time for the large supply created so quickly, to get dispersed more easily/widely.

ease of use, so that transactions are nearly instant, and the user privacy aspect was simple and not over-complicated/intimidating for the average user. this is where we mostly focus our efforts now, as well as establishing a marketing team and campaigns, since we feel we have matured at this point and are ready to focus on widespread market adoption.

it's on our website. pretty hard to miss ;]

thanks! our new tor-only android wallet is done with beta testing, full release will be available within the next couple of days =]

just make sure you have a copy of your seedphrase =]

yes the qt wallet will always be supported. as a matter of fact, a new release of it will be coming out shortly, we're aiming before the end of the month

(it's on the roadmap)

no, we didn't own that hosting.

we do own the hosting for the i2p/tor web wallets, and will be keeping them online, however we do not offer support for them, they are use at your own risk.

the entire reason we announced over a month ago that we were taking it down is because we didn't own that server.

it was posted other places too, like our chat rooms and reddit.

anywho, android wallet coming soon. if anyone is interested in signing up to be a beta tester for upcoming releases, please send us a message here!

then you'll be very excited about the new tor-only android wallet.

soon, we're going to open up a beta tester sign up. we had 10 beta testers on this new wallet and it was great,

but ideally we'd like to have 50 testers because not all beta's will necessarily be android applications.

that server no longer exists, sorry. we made several posts about it. i did inquire with the host last night if it could be restored, but the answer was no, its not possible.

we do have the hosting for the i2p/tor web wallets, but as we've said before, web wallets are not really recommended, they're just for temporary/quick usage. users should own their coins (by having the private key or seedphrase)

also just to keep everyone up to date, the tor-only verge android wallet is done in it's second round of beta testing..

...guess what?

it works perfectly!

we're touching up some cosmetic stuff and look forward to releasing it within the next few days.

clearnet web wallet is officially offline now, and we will no longer be handling support for it.

i2p/tor web wallets will remain online and fully supported, with no plans of taking them offline, ever.

we will also be removing support for the clearnet electrum client soon, after we finish the osx binaries for tor and i2p electrum clients.

if you currently have your coins in the clearnet electrum client, have no fear, you can just import them into the tor and i2p clients using your seedphrase.

*same goes for current android wallet. you can use your seedphrase in the upcoming android wallet and your coins will be there.

yeah you can import the seedphrase to your electrum wallet, sure.

we also have a tool on our site, to convert your android seedphrase into an actual private key here: https://vergecurrency.com/seedphrase/

ps: sorry, must have gotten buried and didn't see your post.

that doesn't make sense because our clients don't allow the sending of coins to a non-verge address.

maybe they just returned the tx and left it in your account?

the tor and i2p web wallets are completely different. send us a pm and we'll take care of it.

what service allowed you to do that?

here's their twitter if you guys need some questions answered: https://twitter.com/_zpool_

yeah the 2 beta releases of the tor android wallet we released went very well, we're finishing up the final release now =]

yeah, it's just that it relies on donations, and not many people donate to it.
