Tested the android wallets for weeks now. Works great, no problems at all!

Exciting to hear the new developments. Will that be something for the mobile phones John?

This coin is unique and no clone of any cryptocurrency! I find this sentence very appropriate for this innovative coin, but Vanillacoin, because its yummy?

All the best to all of you!

I will be changing the topic title from time to time to something humorous and different as to not look like every other BitClone ANN.

Thank you for your support.

Re: the confirmations...

Am I right in assuming that there is no way a transaction
can be included in a block without it having been relayed first?

Hey, Josh-Connor,  did POW ever resume?

Proof-of-Work will resume at block # 136000. All nodes will be required to upgrade "at the same time" because old node versions will no longer be able to connect.

I have placed an error macro in the source code to prevent accidental pre-mature upgrades. More news will follow as we get closer to block # 136000.

Thank you for your support.

You can but if the transaction is not already in the global transaction pool then the block will be rejected. In that regard you must first relay the transaction in order for it to be accepted into a block.

Thank you for your support.

Version 0.2.9 Beta has been released. This upgrade is mandatory.

not a clone ?
it got a blockchain, it got private keys, public keys
it even got a wallet.dat...
same thing like the original. maybe implemented with different code but eventually does the same thing using the same principle

Can you point me to where in the source the block
gets rejected if it is not found in the tx pool?

I have tried myself locating it by following the block
processing all the way from tcp_connection.cpp:2486
to block.cpp:2476, where the redundant pool contents
are finally removed, but I must have missed the part where
it occurs.

The zero confirmation branch is private, but basic integration into branch master is starting as can be seen in /database. It's not as simple as "reject a block that is not in the local transaction pool" because an initial download can never occur. Instead you reject blocks close in time to the transactions in your transaction pool if a mismatch is found. Also, in this way if for some reason a node doesn't have a transaction it will still accept the block just prior to the next block due to the timing I've described. This can occur if your node came online and is not fully synchronized with the global transaction pool when it receives a block.

Thank you for your support.

On a conceptual level this is a very promising approach. If it works, it's not impossible
that it could become a new standard that replaces the old Bitcoin-based infrastructure
in cryptocoins.

Also, in this way if for some reason a node doesn't have a transaction it will still accept the block just prior to the next block due to the timing I've described. This can occur if your node came online and is not fully synchronized with the global transaction pool when it receives a block.

I'm not sure if I grasped that. Does a node accept a block with a transaction that
it does not know about?

Also, Vanilla has a Peercoin-style checkpointing. Will that become superfluous
once the 0-confirmation goes live?
