i completely agree, a marketing effort is needed. no one has tried anything yet, and no solid ideas have come forward..

I had a thought, maybe more like a shadow of an idea not quite formulated, since I do not understand much of the TOR and i2p stuff and how it actually works. It is on my list though, and one of the reasons I gained an interest in Verge.
It seems that XVG is set on being the best crypto in regard to privacy.
That is what it appears the dark web is also for... some privacy.
I imagine you would have to be acting as a peer (if that is the correct terminology) and be on the dark web to use the dedicated TOR or i2p wallets, so why not reward dark web wallet users somehow for keeping the tunnels open with a reward built into those wallets? A reward proportional to the access granted/time open, maybe a special black hole service fee? Something, somehow, to give another reason to use them.
Promoting privacy... by rewarding the access to privacy.
Or maybe I am thinking of something like nodes to run, that you get paid for, that benefit the dark web somehow.
XVG could become, not only the digital currency to use on the dark web, but a currency that helps the dark web function by bringing greater power to it while also being remunerated for that service.
that's not a bad idea.. maybe we will move to only tor and i2p nodes, and leave clearnet, and nodes on i2p/tor will be rewarded/incentivized... |

where are all the guys crying xvg to 1000 sat?
It's a shame-I was expecting price correction but definitely not this kind.Hope coin will find a practical use sometime in the near future and will rise up not to fall hard back again. oh dont worry, you cant keep a good coin down ;] |

Hey Dev, hows things looking on the i2p/TOR front? Have you had a chance to do the dedicated wallet testing you wanted to do? Hope alls well in that tropical storm, stay safe.
yeah ive been testing the dedicated-tor wallet, and have started building the i2p dedicated as well.. and thanks, it got pretty crazy last night, had to power down until this morning, and it looks like another band is coming in, so ill probably be powered down tonight as well. |

ill be testing the i2p wallet and tor wallet this week.. pretty excited about it.. and wow btc is on fire! this could be the pre-halving fomo..
This I2P proposal on Stack Exchange should be of interest to the XVG community. https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/99297/i2pAlthough the proposal was posted by a Monero developer it is meant to benefit the entire I2P community which includes Verge. If you are interested in the C++ I2P router project happening now you can watch its progress here: https://github.com/monero-project/kovriyeah i've definitely been following kovri, and ill make an account to support the proposal, or try n find my old password heh... Great! There is no reason why different cryptocurrency communties cannot work together to help raise awareness of I2P. We all will benefit from this and it has the support of many leaders within the I2P community. If you read Reddit, Twitter or the Monero forums our goal of cross promoting the XMR Stack Exchange Proposal with the I2P proposal is fairly obvious so I won't deny it. However the I2P proposal is completely separate from the Monero proposal so can commit to only the I2P proposal (and not Monero) if you wish. We respect the Verge community and its independence. For the record Riccardo Spagni is also an I2P developer (see the Kovri Github page). yeah i hang out quite a bit in the i2p-dev chan on i2prc, and the i2p/anoncoin/monero devs are some of the only devs in crypto i actually respect ;] |

BTC has already exceeded my expectations for the halving. I typically don't get too excited about halvings though. Especially with ALTs people expect the price to magically double and that's just not how it works. yeah, not gonna lie, this is a great time to get into alts at such low prices.. eventually btc will stabilize and things will be normal again.. |

so you only show 1 connection in the wallet then right? try resyncing from scratch with just that one node.
That did the trick. I'm on the right chain now and coins have showed up. [/quote] great =] |
|
|

Positive.
if you have connect= and that ip, you will definitely sync to the current block if u start from scratch. i see that about 75% of the network is on the same block, so as soon as the rest of the peers are caught up, it'll be remedied.. |

I am having some problems with my wallet
Running the Windows wallet and it is stuck @ block385695.
Also, is there a way to check if my wallet is on the right blockchain?
I withdrew my coin from bleutrade; and it shows in the block explorer I received it on 23 May; yet still has not shown up in my wallet.
I synced from scratch as cryptochainer does not have a bootstrap for verge. It's github link aint working.
http://cryptochainer.com/dir/?page_id=365cryptochainer has verge on the last page (it's in alphabetical order) also, you are on version 2.1.0.0? I am on version 2.1.0.0. when I click on cryptochainer's verge, I get a 404 error. github says file not found. Since others have been able to get their coin off bleutrade, and I am on the correct version; it's pointing to a problem with my wallet blockchain. I've left the wallet open since my last post and still hasn't moved past 385695. make a VERGE.conf in the datadir, and put connect=37.59.24.15 should straighten it out Did that and been running 4 hrs now. Still stuck @385695. est # block 244219 so you only show 1 connection in the wallet then right? try resyncing from scratch with just that one node. |

I tried using connect=37.59.24.15 but am still stuck on "blocks" : 382795, I've tried deleting the chain and resyncing but still stopped at that last block generated 11 days ago. with 2.1.0.0? are you sure you make the .conf file VERGE.conf and not verge.conf or verge.conf.txt? |

Thanks, got that as a connection now, but that's still my only connection and it's not moving yet. I'll let it run over night and hopefully be synced in the morning...
yeah when you use connect= it means only connect to the given ip.. you should sync up just fine tonight.. |
|
|

Can someone post a list of good nodes? I'm getting only one intermittent connection to an ipv6 node and it's taking literally days to sync (and 44k blocks to go still).
Also, there's no addnode function in the wallet? Is the correct name for conf file VERGE.conf?
yes that is correct. just put connect=37.59.24.15 in your VERGE.conf, and you should sync up no problem. |
