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

[chalsengi]

Reddcoin was supposed to be a tipping coin but it has somewhat failed imo.

I've seen a bitcoin wallet that is a Chrome extension (open source), which makes transactions from the browser pretty easy as a way to make payments or donations.

I realise Verge is anonymity-centric, but not everyone who likes Verge would necessarily be against using such a thing.

When donations or payments are made through the wallet browser extension/plugin/addon, then a little reminder to tip the Verge dev could be included there. Obviously only small amounts should be kept in such a wallet. This could potentially rival Reddcoin (which is barely functional in its current state imo, and blatantly lies about being Youtube-ready in its promo video).

Contrary to popular opinion I think it's commendable that the dev isn't looking to hype the product until he's crossed a few more things off his list. He cares that he's promoting a product he's proud of, and that says something about his integrity. If you want more buzz, get on Twitter or into Slack/Telegram groups and create some. Let the dev do what he does best, which isn't babysitting the market and catering to traders who'll be gone as soon as they see a price they like. Sounds like in the coming weeks there will be plenty of progress to talk about that'll push up the price towards previous highs and beyond.

Keep doing what you're doing dev. Love your constant connection to the community and enthusiasm for the tech.

(Only complaint might be that logo... looks like it's from the 80s, lol. I could probably whip you up a new one.)

So, everywhere all I read is how advanced and cutting edge the tech in VERGE is. Is it already, or is it just AIMING to be that way? Can anybody sum up the hundreds of information pages for me in some understandable manner what distinguishes VERGE from other projects like PIVX etc? WHY is it better? Don't bother with "CUZ MOON" and other simpleton explanations. I think about investing a large sum into the project. I want some hard, reliable facts that convince me because I haven't made up my mind yet.

what distinguishes us from coins like you've mentioned (dash/dash codebase forks) is that the user ip address is still broadcast on those networks (like when a users wallet connects to a masternode, the masternode keeps a log of that interaction), where verge focuses on keeping the user's identity private while maintaining a public/transparent ledger. we believe a transparent ledger is important for numerous reasons. it makes it easier for mainstream adoption being one of them. personally, i also feel that masternodes cause a central weak point in the network. if you can get the ip address of all the masternodes (because they're listed publicly) it wouldn't be very difficult to launch an attack on them, thus paralyzing transactions during that time. our main concern is protecting our users ip address using various ip obfuscation techniques, while trying to focus on the users ability to do so in a simple/easy way. we provide options. alot of people put faith into vpn's, but in the information security world, it's no secret that vpn's still keep a log of all user identities, as in most countries it's actually mandatory that they do. (hidemyass.com being one of them) i'd suggest checking out some of our clients and seeing how they work =]

also, we are about to release a new android wallet, that will only work on the tor network, with an i2p version soon to follow. i don't believe any other cryptocurrency has provided a mobile privacy solution like this yet.

i've deleted this guys post about 4 times, so i'll just stop.

not that i don't want poloniex to add verge, because that would be great, but they do not email users and tell them if they are going to add a coin or not. they just launch it, without telling anyone.

Hello everybody,

I downloaded and installed the XVG wallet on my mac.
Since I would like to back up the wallet, I need to find the XVG folder and detect the wallet.dat file.
Where can I find it. I unhid all the files on the computer, but still can't find the XVG-related folder with the DAT file.

Help me out on this one.

You can back up the wallet from the top menu then save it to a location of your choice. No need to find files in the finder.


FILE > BACKUP

Thanks. I understand. BUT in case I need to reinstall my OS and XVG wallet, how can I restore my DAT file? Where do I need to place it? There must be some file in the newly reinstalled software that needs to be replaced with the backup I have. Am I correct? If not, please explain how restoring works.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,

I need to understand some things with the XVG web wallet.

1.
The current balance in my web wallet is not reflected by the prohashing block explorer
https://prohashing.com/explorer/Verge/
My XVG address is DRQzMiThNaSsUEok8Nos8gKDKuQGyBCkTu.
The prohashing block explorer indicates 24 XVG as current balance, while in reality the balance is 4.88431600.

2.
A problem connected with the previous one is that the block explorer shows a transaction I have never made. Specifically, I have never withdrawn 9.8 XVG from the address.
When I first saw this transaction I was scared because I thought that someone had used my wallet. Then I tried to rationalize and withdrew the entire balance to check if I could do that. I managed to withdraw, which showed that the wallet amount, which was greater than the prohashing amount, was the real one.
Can anyone explain what's going on here?

3.
When a withdrawal is effected, there is no indication about the network fee being charged. The withdrawal is executed, BUT if the entire balance is withdrawn this will result in a negative balance, which can be corrected only by adding funds to somehow unblock a pending payment. This actually happened to me: the payment got unblocked as soon as the negative balance was solved by adding funds.

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to reply.

the accounts start with a -0.1 balance to account for fees. we dont suggest using the web wallet, because we prefer our users own their coins instead of keep them in a centralized location where they dont own them. the web wallet does work however.

Wow. it's really interesting . I can guess this fact will be done soon on the poloniex exchange.
We are waiting for more good news from Dev and  He has been working so hard and give us a good chance to join this project .
You are doing very well on your project . Thank you, Dev.

any chance the supply will get a cut in the future, i think what is holding back this wonderful coin, is the immense supply, if it can be reduced to million instead of billion would be better imho, i know it require a hard fork but its worth the risk

First I want to say our Dev Team is doing a Top Notch Job - keep it up!

Your suggestion needs to be analyzed.  At this point the space has gone into "Hyperspeed" and we need dramatic and intentional moves.  "Coin Reduction" would be a BIG MOVE; raising scarcity would increase value.

I would add that adding PoS immediately would be of great benefit as well.  It's hard to park your cash in a coin that doesn't pay dividends for holding while almost all other coins that share our objectives are providing STAKING incentives.  For the holder Staking represents some assurity during the inevitable "Pumps and Dumps" plus it provides a double incentive of value:  The rise in coin value (XVG $1.00) + the Staking Dividend.  For Hardware Miners it becomes a triple incentive if they choose to hold what they mine.  

This is definitely a race, so reminiscent of 1999 with another emerging technology at that time.  I know by these suggestions we're asking a lot from the Devs but I strongly feel we have a strong community willing and able to support our Team in whatever is necessary.  

So, Coin Reduction + PoS = Rise in Coin Value

Btw, Coin Reduction becomes very meaningful when RSK is implemented.

nice sum up, thanks, so what is this RSK, a new feature for this coin? surely it come with great features which make me look forward to this project, but something is holding this coin back

Yes to all of this.

This is not happening and it's a dumb choice on many levels. Dev has already discussed this. Read the post history before telling Dev what he should do. It's really assuming, naive, big headed, and annoying.

correct. i am not going to hard fork to take away users coins. that's absurd.

you would not take away what users have now, you woudl take away what the miners will mine in the future, none will lose anything

80%+ have already been mined, so we're not going to just cut off the remaining 20%. i can consider making the rewards smaller, although its only making 1,560 coins per block at this point, and we're already more than halfway through the second to last halving. last halving occurs in less than 1million blocks.

I downloaded the Verge Wallet for OS X and let it sync for 4 days, it's still only at 20%.
Any advice to speed this up?

Hi !

Could someone tell me, what is the close future of Verge coin? Where can I get more informations about this case?

Could you explain to me, what  this "radio" means? Will  volume  of verge grow becouse of this update?

i don't think the radio itself will increase volume. it's for information/entertainment about crypto
