[$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][TOR/i2P][no premine/ico!]

[Altcoinlover]

I am in fact totally new to this thread....

I have XVG coins for a while on Bittrex and would want to have them on a personal wallet.

Could your tell me where to find the up to date desktop wallet and HOW to do to install in my computer?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome.

The OP of this post will have links to the wallet you may want to use (for example: windows vs mac).

You should be able to download, install, and then open them up and let sync for a while (it may take some time for the sync part though).

If you are just trying to just get your coins off of an exchange, you can print a paper wallet and send your coins there. If you do this, and use the Verge paper wallet link, be sure to pick Verge in the drop down menu under the instructions tab, if you go straight to print, it will give you a different wallet.

ok then, thanks!

Will just keep my coins safely locally ;-)


Others will probably post some more thorough instructions, but these may give you enough to start.

ok, so the OP contains the Up To Date wallet link, thanks... did not want to take a chance.

No, want a desktop wallet, no paper ;-)

BTW, is Verge available for staking?

thanks for the little guidance.

Will see if I can install smoothly

I am pretty sure the links in the OP will be current.

Verge has a very active and accessible developer, which is one of the things that I like seeing in a currency.

Verge is not a staking coin.
It uses Proof of Work, using five different algorithms to help make the blockchain run smoothly and give different options to mine.

How tough would it be to have 2FA in a wallet for withdrawals? This is something that I haven't ever seen.

we have 2fa on our web wallet. i dont think it would be very hard to put into a qt wallet though. great suggestion.

Yes, that was what I was referring to. Would be a cool feature that I'm not sure anyone else has tried yet.

2FA in qt wallet would be really nice.
In my opinion every qt wallet should have 2fa as a basic feature,
because, we all know, how toxic is this crypto environment.

I was thinking though the 2FA might not work unless it could be associated with the wallet.dat file itself. Otherwise, an attacker would just need to copy the wallet.dat and then open it with a wallet of their own.

So even if you needed 2FA to open the wallet on your particular pc, I think you would still be vulnerable to your wallet.dat being stolen and then cracked. I honestly have no idea if it's possible to add a secret key from 2FA to the wallet.dat but I'm guessing if someone does it's dogedarkdev.

hey im so frustrated of not being able to get to my coins, when will android wallet be up again so i can get them out? its been months

yes, it will be up. its a complicated process. if you think you can get it done faster, you are welcome to.

[Dogedarkdev]

we halved again everyone!

3,125 coins per block now.

I know nothing about it so please dont be rude.  i have over 80 mil coins somewhere and i cant get access to it its frustrating,

Is a phone your only way of accessing the internet? Because otherwise, you could just install the desktop wallet on a regular computer, copy the wallet.dat file into it and have access, no?

[Beachguy]

I was wondering about that......worth a try with a copy of .dat file

I have a feeling that the android wallets work differently than the regular ones do.
Maybe see if it is possible to get the private keys, then import those into another wallet?
Or wait longer.
I believe our dev is in for the long haul, but it is probably quite tricky with that wallet, especially once Verge went multi-algo.


Since I am posting something today, I might as well keep going:

Considering the current situation Verge apparently is in, maybe some things to help Verge become more "solid" in the long run could be helpful.

An OPTIONAL "development fee" or "maintenance donation fee" alongside the optional sending fee in the wallets may be interesting to consider, to put toward maintaining equipment for the android wallet, servers, nodes, pay for some help when needed, or whatever it takes to keep Verge going, to make it stronger and more substantial.

Maybe somehow decentralize Verge further by helping others learn how to run nodes, or run dedicated i2p nodes.
(Not exactly sure how that stuff works, but basically spreading out the components that keep the system running)

Possibly tie Verge into i2p somehow, so when that becomes more popular, it is already there....waiting, and willing.

Maybe come up with some specific goals to be voted upon, where one can donate to, and help make happen.
Even little ones might be nice, that show activity in a positive direction.
As an example of this, it was good to see the donations come in quickly when the fee to list on Bittrex took place, which was a positive community effort.

The price can't really get much lower, so now may be the time to shake things up somehow, anyway.

Well, but the android version needs to store the wallet information somewhere, doesn't it? I'm not familiar with android, but I bet there either is a way to look inside of application packages, or someone built an app for it. Find a tool that lets you search your entire phone including hidden files and search for wallet.dat (that's the deafult name, isn't it?).
Dogedarkdev might want to chime in on that one.

Regarding the other point: I like the idea of somehow linking Verge to I2P. I don't know how close this is possible on a technical level, but it would be great to have it as an easy to use means of value transaction, ready from the getgo.

To incentivize running an i2p node, and to get those who run i2p nodes to simultaneously mine Verge, require running an i2p node in order to mine Verge? Also, enable wallet users to run an i2p node in the interface.

Hmm, that's actually an interesting idea: Somehow reward those who run I2P nodes with Verge. Maybe by giving them a higher block reward or something?

I'm not too familiar with I2P technology, but I guess as with Tor, the more nodes you have, the better. Incentivising running nodes by paying rewards to those who do sounds interesting. I'm not too sure whether Verge is the right coin for that job, though. That sounds more like a PoS/DPoS thing. Although: Maybe you could give PoS/DPoS rewards to node providers and have PoW secure the blockchain "from outside"? Hmmm…

I just ask the admin of this new exchange called Liqui to add XVG let's see what happens
here is there thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1556870.0

I will keep my eyes on that, since in general, I believe the more exchanges the better.

[Dogedarkdev]

yeah definitely. the more distribution, the better. i've still been exchanging emails with poloniex.

I usually really hate these kinds of stacked quotes.....but
+1 and  two thumbs!
Good luck!
