[ANN] Vcoin sha256 pow

[gjhiggins]

Ish...

I don't know how you find the time to contribute, what with all the altcoins that you're currently controlling and with being in school all day long, too. What brings you here? And what criteria are you using that allow you to produce such an eloquent summary?


Cheers

Graham

Glad to seeing peoples to participate in vcoin community

Things are slowly starting to pick up. The chain is running smoothly and what I like most so far is the quick difficulty retargeting. The chain seems to go through two ebbs per day and it is interesting to see how the hashrate goes up on the difficulty down-cycle. I guess miners are trying to accumulate as many coins as possible before the next halving at 400k.

it seems to me like a good coin to baghold

Well, sort of. It's difficult for me to comment either way, 'cos I can’t see the logic of bagholding myself.

Except in one circumstance, accumulating a significant share of the coinage with the intention of then ploughing most of it back into creating some heavyweight promotional programmes, on the principle that 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

I have several coins that I’m “curating” (in that other interest has dropped away to nearly zero) and I run a constant low-level injection of energy (value) into the network, thus allowing the economic parameters to mature without being unduly stressed by a casually uninterested exchange market.

Elsewhere, I’ll invest my time rather than my fiat (it’s an injection of value, whichever way you look at it).

tl;dr Generally, you’re likely to get more value out of your investments if you put your wealth to work.

That's good (slowly) regarding the difficulty retargeting this is one of the attributes that make it unique in combination with secure hashing algorith sha-2 ---> (sha256)
According to my calculations Vcoin after 600k blocks block reward will be determined at nMinSubsidy with other words after 600k block Vcoin block reward = 1 vcoin per block

hi Graham, is there a Mac wallet?

[jc12345]

hi Graham, is there a Mac wallet?

Here is the Raspberry Pi wallet for v0.9 - for both the Qt wallet and the the headless daemon wallet (command line).

Important:
1) The wallet was built on a Raspberry Pi2 (ARM7) running Raspbian Wheezy.
2) Installation directory where the binaries are installed is ~/opt/vcoin or /home/pi/opt/vcoin
3) All that is needed is to execute the command below on your Pi in a terminal window and afterwards you need to double click the vcoin-qt icon on your desktop. Alternatively go to the directory with the wallets and run the daemon (vcoind) with the options you want at the command prompt or in a terminal window
4) An Internet connection is required for the installation
5) A bootstrap.dat is used to fast track the blockchain sync - up to block 607982.
6) The bootstrap.dat also works for Windows wallets. For your convenience I have included a direct link below to a normal zipped bootstrap.dat to make it easy for the Windows users. Windows users have to unzip and copy the bootstrap.dat file into their c\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\vcoin folder and run the Win client again
7) You need at least an 8GB memory card
8.) The installation itself takes about 30-45min on an out-of-the-box Pi and then a once off import of the blockchain takes another 1-3 hours
9) You cannot just download the binaries, you have to run the script to get the dependencies as well else it will not run
10) The installation script does not enable the UFW firewall by default. If you want to enable it, uncomment the UFW lines in the script and add the port you want open and run it again or enable it manually by running the UFW commands as in the script with the correct port numbers.
11) Always backup your wallet first
12) The installation assumes you are using the default "pi" account

Instructions to use the daemon:

1) Since you have an vcoin.conf file with the startup settings in it that was created by the script, go to the folder with the binaries ~/opt/vcoin and enter ./vcoind in a terminal window to start the server
2) After the blockchain has been imported you can enter the normal wallet commands that you would as in a Windows debug console preceded with ./vcoind
3) Remember to always make a backup of your wallet.dat file before you do anything like encrypting it
4) To encrypt your wallet run the command ./vcoind encryptwallet <yourpassword>

Let me know about any issues that you may encounter.

To kickstart the installation execute the following command at the command prompt or in a terminal window on your Pi:

Code:

wget https://bitbucket.org/jc12345/vcoin/downloads/vcoin_installation_pi.sh && chmod +x vcoin_installation_pi.sh && ./vcoin_installation_pi.sh && rm -f vcoin_installation_pi.sh

Link to Virustotal scan for vcoin-qt
Link to bootstrap.dat up to block 607982, 134MB (.tar.gz)
Link to bootstrap.dat up to block 607982, 134MB (.zip)

Money supply graphs:







Equivalent block size:

VCoin block time 30s = 20 blocks / 10min = 20MB / 10min
Bitcoin block time 10min = 1 block / 10min = 1MB / 10min

I think this is a food alternative to bitcoin... And you? How we can promote this coin?

The VCoin community is a Teal organization (refer here). Everyone can participate and apply their skills, including PR and marketing.

If the community work together, just like sociable weavers (found in Africa), a strong platform for be future can be woven.  This will require everyone to work together and contribute their skills and resources and sometimes not necessarily wanting something in return but doing it for the good of the community and the greater cause. Profit and price is not the main driver but a lagging indicator that follows the efforts of the community.

it sure would be nice to have a Mac wallet, as yobit started to sell yovi underprice.

A Mac wallet would be a nice addition. This can be a good example of how the VCoin community should operate. If you want a Mac wallet, get in touch with someone with the skills and ask him to join the community and contribute a Mac wallet. I am sure there are others that would also want to use a Mac wallet. Being a supporter of the VCoin community, I compiled and contributed a Pi wallet but unfortunately I have not yet looked into compiling a Mac one.
