[ANN] Vcoin sha256 pow

Has this project been abandoned?

It might appear that way but the project hasn't been abandoned. bitcointalk isn't the sidechannel it used to be and so a dearth of posts here isn't the strong indicator it used to be.

Agree with graham, vcoin windows wallet have more than 700 downloads tracked by bitbucket, also there are unknown amount of users who use Linux or have compiled vcoin "wallets" in their machines wich can't be tracked

Happy Birthday VCoin!

I cant seem to update my wallet. None of the nodes work.

Can anyone help and give me a list of working nodes. please?

[BehindTheGnoll]

thanks for the nodes! Is this coin worth it, or is it DOA? Is it even on any exchanges?

[amarian12]

any wallet updates? this version 9 is not working 100% .... i do have tx with 0 conf for weeks (normal situation will be to remove them after 24-48 hours) and i use high fee on them but still nothing

Graham, do you perhaps have source code that will work on Ubuntu 19? I would like to upgrade the OSes on some of my nodes that are on Ubuntu 16. Then also, who is running with the p2p pool. Is it public or private?

Did you manage to get your wallet working? If you want I can give you a bootstrap file that will take you right up to the current block. It is just very large @ several hundred MB. Unless of course you managed to sync your wallet on your own.

Whether it is worth it or not is up to you. It certainly is fun watching the blocks tick over after all this time. It was last traded on Yobit but I dont think it is active for withdrawal.

Hi jc,

Sorry for the delay, I've been offline for the last three months whilst moving house. I've updated the 0.9 repos and VCoin 0.9 now compiles on Ubuntu 19.

I don't know anything about the pool, I'll have to see if there's anything I can turn up.

In addition, the vcoincore repos has also been updated (to Core 0.18.1). ATM, I'm trying (but failing) to get a VCore 0.18.1 testnet up and running so's I can address the remaining significant unresolved technical issue, that of getting the metadata explorer to work more reliably with the client in respect of re-orgs. The 0.18.1 client compiles and runs, it even happily loads a copy of the current 0.9 mainnet datadir (very encouraging), it "sees" the other 0.18.1 clients on my internal testnet network and it can generate blocks but they don't seem to get broadcast to the testnet network. I'm still investigating.


Cheers

Thanks Graham. I will upgrade one node to Ubuntu 19 then in the next few days and compile and test the new code. If all goes well Ill also upgrade the other nodes. All the best with VCore 0.18.1. Looking forward to run that too.

Hello everyone.  Does anyone have a copy of the blockchain??

[jc12345]

I can make one, but will have to be in next few days.

Do it. Are you still running full mode ?

VCoin/V Core sync nodes:

Mainnet:
No port or 5530 default port, sync to blockchain running on VCoin v0.9.3 client

Code:

addnode=144.76.118.44
addnode=144.76.118.44:5530
addnode=144.76.64.49
addnode=144.76.64.49:5530

Port 61300/61400, sync to same blockchain as above but running on V Core v0.19.1 client

Code:

addnode=144.76.118.44:61400
addnode=144.76.64.49:61300

Testnet:
No port or 55534 default port, sync to blockchain running solely on v0.19.1 client (i.e. testnet is currently has no v0.9 clients)

Code:

addnode=144.76.118.44
addnode=144.76.118.44:55534
addnode=144.76.64.49
addnode=144.76.64.49:55534

Alternatively, a chain dump from the V Core 0.19.1 client (I can't be sure a VCoin 0.9 client will read it) is available:

Mainnet: https://minkiz.co/noodlings/vcoremainnetchain.tar.gz
Testnet: https://minkiz.co/noodlings/vcoretestnetchain.tar.gz

Development status

Current state of development, working on QT attitude survey i/f (not yet committed to repos):

Survey choice i/f (far too many, need to reduce to just two/three at most)


Lickert Scale presentation (1. needs dark mode fix for SVG emoticons and 2. doesn't refresh when a different survey chosen)


Cheers

Thanks Graham.  I will update the topic.

Not the first time this has happened in altcoinland.

But sloppy research on his part, unusually.
