Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

the whole medium post for everyone to read -snip- Development Update on Verge #16
Manuel Cabras Feb 15 - 4min read
February has come, with it longer days for us to ignore, as we never stop striving. Never stop pushing our limits, to advance and better our current projects, with Verge Currency. So, this is our update, let's dive in our developmental progress.
Codebase rebase progress
In the last two weeks, we shifted our focus on integrating RingCT. At the same time, we started noticing two major issues with the alpha codebase that breaks the functionality completely.
Connectivity issues
The first one is that we weren’t able to connect and sync blocks/headers with any nodes. This bug was caused by falsely serialized headers sent between nodes. Those headers required an empty block to include all header details but without the block signatures.
Additionally transferring blocks was a blocking process as the old codebase checks for the validity of the block signature within the blocks. Since we didn’t sync them we can’t provide it, thus we have to re-sync our new blocks. We will proceed with the testing of both issues, please hold tight and make sure to wait a bit more until re-syncing everything until we confirmed the solution.
Mining
While working on the previously mentioned issue we recognized that some miners had problems with setting up a working mining environment to make usage of the improved performance and reduction of orphan/obsolete blocks. This is the second major issue that still exists within the current codebase and it’s caused by non-existing timestamps (nTime) within coinbase transactions. Obviously block checks aren’t checking for the existence of nTime field within the txs but the MerkleTree does that and that’s the point where it fails initially. We included that timestamp in the first place to support POS in later stages of Verge. Feel free to contribute to this issue.
Mining or not?
As a result of the mining issue we were also discussing if it would make sense to also prepare POS into our codebase so that we slowly switch between two major proofing systems as part of the decreasing remaining coin reward supply. We have to discuss that a bit more to offer you some more concrete solutions/plans that might be implemented afterwards.
What to do until then? Well we‘ll soonish define a new block halving as security measurement. This makes sure that we aren’t running out of mining rewards while developing POS.
iOS Wallet update
Last week we’ve released the Public Beta 4 of the iOS wallet beta phase bringing users a more stable experience. We’ve fixed some bugs and added some missing features:
Tor updated to 0.3.5.7.
Apple Watch iteration v2.
New app icon.
Enabled asking Siri for a receive card.
Send card got visual changes:
And more.
Beta 5 will probably be out sooner than the normal release schedule this because of a server used in the app being down. Beta 5 will enable you to see all you balanced addresses and copy the public and private keys to the clipboard. This enables you to sweep your balanced address into a QT wallet.
Next up will be enabling the wallet to send XVG to a stealth address. Right now this isn’t possible. The plan is to enable this in Beta 6. If Beta 6 feels good we’ll start working on release candidates. The release candidate phase will proceed until we have a solid smooth working product.
Android Wallet Update
For the Android wallet, development has been resumed on a regular basis. New core members joined the testing program, a project has been setup on GitHub and I’m very happy that I can work on it again.
Lately I’ve been doing some refactoring, collecting feedback, opening (and possibly solving) issues and of course continuing to develop features.
Without losing ourselves in a maze of boring terms, below you’ll find some screenshots of the last in-development features :
Note : Designs aren’t final — I’m concentrating myself on the functionality rather than the design
The first implemented feature is the Price Statistics tab, which returns values according to your preferred currency
Second implemented feature is the history chart. I’m still developing the feature and will add date filtering soon (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y … )
I’ve been implementing the currencies mechanism, and is already set to work with the Price statistics tab
Implemented the card share feature — At the moment it’s picture only .
Well, I guess we’re already at the end of this development update! Hope you guy enjoyed and I'll see you in a couple of weeks or around on our social media platform!source: https://medium.com/vergecurrency/development-update-on-verge-16-fe2cba3d3529-snap- |

Last version of XVG Electrum was released in 2017... It's not supported anymore?
What wallet do you suggest to use?
we moved resources to the tor electrum, which is very similar. |

For coming updates, I suggest to use default font size. Increasing font size makes the whole thread really annoying, and it is hard to scan the thread, fastly catch main ideas you want to pinpoint out. Anyway, thank you for update the topic with those comprehensive details on what's going on last week. |

What is the point of having Verge on a private hardware wallet without privacy features? What if I want to send to another xvg wallet that isn't an exchange?

Pretty sure verge lost its credibility awhile ago.
Where do I start? Originally named doge coin dark lol.
Wraith release date failed horribly by not meeting the scheduled release date 31st December that really let down alot of investors and caused the coin to dump (apparently not the first time xvg has failed to meet scheduled dates) when it released it had issues (give or take release dates don't always run so smoothly for most coins)
Core developer had a yahoo email address that got hacked and had his twitter or fb page hijacked... Seriously the irony on a privacy coin developer getting hacked.. Double irony for using yahoo email address lol.
Multiple 51% attacks (3 or 4 times) the coin ended up forking without even letting everyone know lol.
Android wallet had connectivity issues via tor, couldn't even recover xvg balance from the wallet even using the seed recovery process failed.
Ah, the comic relief from a newbie (fake troll account) Why do these people even bother? Go to a church and preach about the devil, same result. Bye now... |
