Vertcoin - First Scrypt N | First Stealth Address - Privacy without mixer

[BorisTheSpider]

After upgrading wallets I have a problem with the transactions. The transaction matures and then appear questionnaire.

Those are solomined blocks right?

In which case, I am presuming they might not be confirmed yet. They are unspendable until they are 120 blocks deep in the blockchain.

vertcoin goin to mars!

 

[metraque]

Is Adaptive N-factor really the way to stop ASICs? Or to make CPU-mining more profitable over time??? I don't think so, hardware changes over time, gets bigger, and the base code of this coin doesn't.

         Yes, I solo miner. Maybe it's something else.

This is a picture of the transaction in a new wallet:
 


All transactions with the question mark had a "clock" confirmations as the last transaction. However, at some point the clock is changed to a question mark.

This is a picture of the transaction in the old wallet:

Lucky-Luciano can you post those pictures bigger please, I cannot see them and can't click them to enlarge.

Do these mined blocks not show in your balance on the overview page?

EDIT: I just noticed, in the first image, if I can make it out correctly in the small image, it looks like these blocks have no been broadcast to the network. Are you sure you are properly connected with peers?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Perhaps next time in a normal font size and color? I took the liberty to make that change in your quote.

Ok yes, it looks like the first one is not connected to peers. You see it says "has not been successfully broadcast yet".

Do you definitely have peers connected?

I am not solomining (not enough hashrate) in the wallet, so cannot test. Nothing changed between the two wallet releases though other than.

1. DNS seeds were updated to help get wallet synced without adding nodes
2. UPNP was built in to increase number of nodes available to connect to a sync the blockchain

Other than that, nothing else changed in the code, so I am at a loss to know why the new wallet would be behaving differently when solomining. If you want to keep solomining, perhaps you could move back to the old wallet version which is still at http://sdrv.ms/1esmm4H but I actually think there is no reason the new wallet would be doing anything different regarding solomining.

I also just checked some of my own solomined blocks (from day 1) in both the old and new wallets and they look exactly the same. Of course, I haven't tried generating any new solomined blocks in the new wallet, but it does sync OK for me and finds peers.

Please check your peers (either just look at the connected peers in the gui, or do getpeerinfo in the debug console). Sometimes, I've had wallets fail to sync and just closing and reopening them has fixed it?

All right. Thank you. I received the following information:

I am rebooted the computer and wallet. After that, I re-started Vertcoin CGMinerAleksNR3. I'm going tonight to see what happens. If still be problems I'll come back an older version of a wallet. I'll let you know when solve (if I solve) the problem.

Could some miner with a few spare megahashes please point some to http://la.vertcoin.org so that the pool wins a block or two today?  And why isn't there a pie chart of vertcoin mining pools?

[Fastpow]

Sounds like a really cool coin!

I'm having a little problem however, every time i try to launch the modified cpu miner it just instantly shuts down again..

[pharrisee]

A heads up for you all - coinmarket.io are looking for suggestion of coins to add at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422726 I figured some of you might like to join me in suggesting LTC and BTC pairs with VTC.

Done

Antivirus BitDefender Total Security says that we are not safe.

How to unblock it ? Fals positive ?

How to unblock it ? Fals positive ?

I just reported it as a false positive at http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Main/automaticSampleUploader/

Please can other people do the same. I also submitted www.vertcoin.org which bitdefender has now started classifying as malicious for some reason.


Can people also email suggest@websense.com who I emailed earlier today but have not had a response from, and tell them that they are one of only 2 out of 50 something anti-malware products which is erroneously reporting www.vertcoin.org as malicious.

I have reported them too.

Everyone keep voting at https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/64057/ if you'd like to trade VTC at Cryptsy.

Just revisited the thread to keep the pressure on!

Thanks, still no reply here to the earlier reports. I'll chase them up tomorrow if I haven't heard back by then.
