[ANN] VOLVOX [VVX] PoW GPU | MultiAlgo | Anonymity | Fair Launch

[SHIELD_Joe]

No premine huh? How do you pay the huge bounties for the pools then?

first 200 blocks were mined by my vps yesterday. they were mined for test purpose (about 1,500,000 VLX). All of them will be used for bounties

That's called a premine  

I think that's called a ninja mine. Cool to see XSH forked though.

Yes, very exited to see what the dev is planning on doing differently than SHIELD!

Attention miners! I forgot to mention that all mining algos except blake2s are locked until block number 10000, so now you can mine only with blake2s.

[firesec]

Bbesides some copy-paste stuff and some bugs .. it's a fair launch
Depends on the dev how this will evolve but it's very clear you need to have a proper announcement, website and a roadmap .. at least partial roadmap
XSH was inspired from XVG so I don't see a problem if Volvox is inspired from both if you will have a strong development

Updated the qt-wallet (under about it has v2.3.3.0-unk-beta), is there anything else I need to do?
Can I continue to mine as normal?

Latest wallet version is 2.3.4, so you should update. You can check current version by going to console and typing "getinfo" command

Anyone got windows wallet to sync? Im stuck at block 309.

I reinstalled latest wallet, got stuck syncing, deleted everything in the volvox folder, reinstalled and I'm still getting it stuck on around 691 and rising. Advice? Thx.

UPDATE: Seems to have synced now, working fine.

[sgl87]

Any more info about the coin etc?

I'm mining at luckypool.xyz on the blake2s algo, but the other pools don't seem to be working?

Thx

Deleted the volvox folder (after saving wallet.dat) and reran the new qt wallet?
Give it a bit of time maybe?

What happens when you run the old qt wallet? Let it sync then copy the wallet.dat, delete everything in folder then run new qt wallet and then copy over wallet.dat.
I think I did something like that. I know I ran the old one at some point, but can't remember.

Dev?

Problem occured due to increased fee in new wallet (block 309 has fee<0.1).To save compatibility with old blocks i reverted change of fee.
Sorry for bug, VOLVOX dev.

No problem, bugs happen. So I should wait for new wallet? Or is there anyway to fix it?
