Extended with two additional methods, which may be suitable for text messages. https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin/blob/master/doc/EncryptMsgAPI.txtYou can use these methods to encrypt private messages on this forum, for example. P.S. Currently we're working on support for new transaction type in order to provide slightly greater degree of anonymity.

It wasn't purposed for wide use since it's published on request by few pool owners. But now, after public request in the thread, we'll update it on the regular basis. Updated port will be published tomorrow.

Some protocol updates were merged and will come in force soon. Since 20 March, 2016: New transaction type, allowing people to use one-time public keys for sending/redeeming the coins. This is much better in terms of privacy, in comparison with standard addresses. https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin/blob/master/doc/MalleableKeysRawTx.txt (raw tx example for testnet) The sendtoaddress, sendfrom and sendmany RPC calls have been adjusted to work correctly with the one-time key pairs. There are also new RPC calls, such as newmalleablekey, adjustmalleablepubkey, adjustmalleablekey and listmalleableviews. Documentation is going to be updated a bit later. Since 20 April, 2016: OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY support.

https://nvc.khore.orgUser-friendly and incredibly stable pool which has never failed since February 2013.

Release candidate windows binaries have been published. These builds are introducing support for the new kind of addresses, which are purposed to provide a significant degree of anonimity. AMD64: LevelDB | BerkeleyDBx86: LevelDB | BerkeleyDBFeature will be activated since 20 March, 2016. Additional details will be published a bit later.

Novacoin 0.5.6 builds are available on our sourceforge page. https://sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/novacoin-0.5.6/It includes support for pubkey pair addresses and some minor optimizations. Meanwhile, we're also gradually moving towards the use of Clang as preferred compiler for our project. Hint: if you're running a pool or p2pool node then this script may be useful for you. This also may help you in case if your internet connection is restricted and client is unable to find nodes through IRC or DNS seeding mechanisms.

Both will stake with the same speed, bdb is more stable and recommended in case of frequent power failure on systems with HDD, leveldb is little bit faster. You can check the exact time when each input will find the block with the new feature "scaninput" (select from the wallet menu bar: Help - Debug window - Console - type "scaninput" - press "Enter" and follow the instructions).

I know I searched around looking for pools for Novacoin and was using Khore for a while, but we keep having dead periods where no blocks were found and you could be grinding all day and not make anything. I popped over and tried the p2pool and of course the same situation. I found you can mine NVC over at Multipool.us and just mine the coins you want or you can use the most profitable pool that bounces different coins. The downside there is that you get paid in whatever coin you mine so you have to open up accounts on different exchanges to get those coins, exchange them to BTC and then send them over to BTC-e to get NVC if that is what your after. It is all just too much work and costs you too much money in transfer and exchanges.
I found some other pools that will pay out in any coin you want so I tried a couple of those. The one I am using now is prohashing.com and getting paid in NVC. So far it seems to be working well and with it being a multipool there always seems to be blocks found and something coming into the wallets each day.
So if you looking for a pool I would suggest looking at some of the multipools that payout in coins of your choice. It can save you the time, money, and hassle of mining for BTC or other coins and having to exhange them and costing you a portion of your hard mined rewards. Hopefully this will help those of you who are fans of NVC and looking for a place to mine and options. I am making a little more money with the multipools paying me in NVC than I was just mining NVC directly through p2pool and khore.
Happy mining!

I have installed the wallet on my Android phone and now the app seems to be having issues. So I just tried to install the wallet on my laptop running Ubuntu. It downloads the .deb file, but when it tries to install it the installer says it is unable to satisfy software dependencies. Any idea what is missing so that I can get a wallet installed on my laptop and migrate off of my phone. Thanks!

To satisfy the dependencies you need to add required repositories. It's explained in the readme file. https://sourceforge.net/projects/novacoin/files/novacoin-0.5.7/deb/README/downloadAlternatively, you can use statically linked build. But with either debian or ubuntu there is actually no need for doing so. P.S. It seems that future deb releases will be able to add required repositories automatically.
