[ANN][VOT]: VoteCoin - a new era of anonymous crypto democracy

[punkoivan]

I see no way in porting VoteCoin to Android before Sapling.
FYI, Sapling is a new proving scheme developed by ZCash which VoteCoin is going to adopt as soon as zcash adopts it, for faster shielded payments with low memory requirements. It should go live at the end of 2018

Hi I just started mining 16.5 hours ago and the return is only 47% of what calculator shows. Any idea why? Is there like a 50% hidden pool fee?

I mine with low hashrate and always get coins without problem. Try to wait a little.

No, there is no fee.
Try other pool to check if your result is the same

Tried Aika and it was actually lower than official pool. 24 Hours of mining 3000ksols and only got 690 VOT total which is almost 50% of calculated 1222. Its funny how pools can't hide their fees and it could be up to 50% or higher. znomp pools are typically worse than others MPOS pools.

[punkoivan]

we have real 1% fee without any shitty hidden (as well as official pool, I believe) - try to join us at

https://vot.nibirupool.com

z-nomp, yes. But fair, I promise.

we have real 1% fee without any shitty hidden

how can we verify this?

Every block contains 125 VOT. When pool finds block? 125VOT - 1.25VOT = ~123.75VOT should be distributed between miners.
So, we have PAID balance here:
https://vot.nibirupool.com/stats
when we paid new block it should be + ~123.75VOT

And I can post screenshot of our config

So, you are very welcome!

You forgot to mension a tx fee! Here is real world scenario:
https://syspool.org
125 VOT - 0.5% pool fee 0.625 VOT = 124.375
It will be around 124.375, but there is a 0.0004 tx fee reserved for every miner of his payout. So it could be a bit less. Depending of miners count.
Or even could be more, because we pay the block and the fees in the block

[punkoivan]

Yep, I used "~" not "=" due to fee

WR-104

But simple answer to your question - you can verify our last mined block via block explorer.
for example:
https://vot.nibirupool.com/stats

last block is 110648.

go to the explorer:
http://explorer.votecoin.site/block/0000004dc12f61c5574196cad72b150e2f316d435b821951c9e290f70f1a5ef3

and see two transactions for 0.625 VOT.
0.625 * 2 = 1.25 VOT

Block rewards - 125 VOT
Our fee - 1.25 VOT

exactly 1 %

Thats simply awesome. Wait to see the new feature list

Just a little correction, the photograph of VoteCoin developer (Tomas Matejicek)
in the article is wrong at the time of this notice, furthermore the team consists
of few more people (while Tomas is the dev, others do other things).

Edit: thank you for fixing it already

new miners are welcome!

This is a neat project. I wish I found it sooner.

Can it be CPU mined? I have a mac-mini sitting around doing nothing which i'd like to learn about cpu mining on. I've never mined anything before.

Hey guys. I'm a big supporter of this project and I just gave it a shout out on Twitter. Retweet and spread the word about Votecoin!

This coin is Equihash based so its best mined on GPUs, specifically speaking on nVidia graphic cards.

Simple answer is that you can not mine with CPU.

Long answer is that you may be able to mine it with a mac mini (if you find the right miner, install Linux or something, not sure how) but even when you get it going, you could end up with 60 cents after a year of mining that will cost 10 cents to move to an exchange and $30 in electricity over the course of the year.

For CPU mining, look into Monero but I have been mining since 2013 and I have not been able to mine Monero with my laptop CPU.

Just a small checkin, project is going fine, several issues where solved both technically and at concept level, and we are almost ready to release a massive new update, consisting of new features in the wallet and voting mechanism itself, new website, and a free vot facebook campaign. This is enormous work overall, and its better released all together, so sorry for the recent silence, we've been busy developing

Planned release is now in Q1 and so far all is going well.

This is great news! I will try catch some more VOTs before the release
