[ANN] Verus (VRSC) - zk-SNARK privacy, CPU-mining, 50/50 POW/POS, fair launch

[smexmry]

Hello, I can't build using instructions on github. I clone the wallet repo. The only daemon I see if komodod. I start it and it syncs komodo chain.

I fixed an issue that was in a build after release last night. You'll want to make sure you have a build from after that. I've implemented our chain as a significantly enhanced Komodo asset chain, and our komodod works for Verus as well as all of the other Komodo family coins. The command line to start verus, which will be checked in soon, is:

./komodod -ac_name=VRSC -ac_algo=verushash -ac_cc=1 -ac_veruspos=50 -ac_supply=0 -ac_eras=3 -ac_reward=0,38400000000,2400000000 -ac_halving=1,43200,1051920 -ac_decay=100000000,0,0 -ac_end=10080,226080,0 -ac_timelockgte=19200000000 -ac_timeunlockfrom=129600 -ac_timeunlockto=1180800 -addnode=185.25.48.72 -addnode=185.25.48.236 -addnode=185.64.105.111

Then followed with whatever parameters you'd want.

There's also a bash script in veruscoin/src/fiat/verus, where you will want to change the name from VERUSTEST to VRSC, and I've noticed that it needs chmod +x as well. You can use that as the client, with the parameters above as the server.

Thanks, 185.25.48.72 refuses connection other two work

edit: sorry no this does not start. I tried to pm you but I cannot because I am a newbie. Can you change that?

mining in wallet under linux doesnt work

Are you using the GUI wallet? Many of us have been using that wallet. What specifically is the problem? Can you describe it?

Hello, do you find out the error, that comfirmation > 100, the coin still not transfer to the balance?

Hi, Verus is emitting very large rewards right now, and at 192 reward or above, all coinbase transactions are randomly time locked for a period of from 3 months to 2 years and 3 months from the genesis block. Rewards will go up to 384 in the next couple days, then stay there for one month, releasing all randomly time locked coin bases. One more month at 192 will also be time locked. After that, the next month will be 96, not time locked, which will mature normally after 100 blocks, then one month at 48, one month at 24, then halving every two years. Blocks to maturity on time locked transactions show when it will be released.

Hi, a little confuse here, by all I understand, all the coins that I mined above 192 locked randomly now, but they will all released to balance by the end of the 384 month? Or they will still keep locked by 3moths-2years no matter how?

Hi, VerusCoin, waiting for you online now.

thats fine, we just want proof, and im 100% sure you guys know roughly how much is owed to you..............so, how much

I don't actually know. I know its something over 100,000, but I've been focused on development of the code and not the mining systems. The person who does or will know exactly is sleeping, and after what he went through today, we're going to need to wait until tomorrow to know for sure.

so youre telling me you mined 100,000 coins? you have to be kidding right? ive got a $2,000 1950x AMD Ryzen Threadripper (16 Core, 32 threads) on this 12 MH/s and ive mined approx 3,000 coins from the start, how the hell do you think you have 100,000 of them mined already.

im sorry but this is dodgy as.

[bitwookie]

and secondly, how can you not know how much you had?

[VerusCoin]

and secondly, how can you not know how much you had?

Because I trust the person who was doing that, and I was going to find out when we found out that happened. He's in the process of making a transaction list.

They said maybe 100000+, that means, they need over like 500+ E5 2680 computer to mining from the start, that's insane, the team need prove to all the miners

Because of block chain, it's not dodgy, as the transactions are there with proof, and no one can release our transactions right now but us with this fix. We mined that much because I spent personal money to commission servers to mine coins in the midst of some huge miners who definitely had a lot more money than me. I did that to support this project. I made this blockchain to make a fair system for everyone that I intend to improve significantly over time, and people who believed along with me worked to get coins so we could realize that. How is that dodgy?

[bitwookie]

a fair launch? i doubt that, when you claim to have 1/6th of all the coins mined you make yourself look silly

30-500 computers, didn't backup the wallet.dat, but somehow kept track of all the transactions. Please at least explain more of what happened.

...
Yes after the failure the funds are still visible in the z-address, I only shielded my mined funds to the z-address.

Did you leave room for the fee by subtracting 0.0001 from the total, or send much less than the amount?

Tested it with all possible amounts, even with only 1 VRSC it shows this error message.

Can you try the following:
1. Close the wallet software
2. Backup your wallet - on Windows, it is in \Users\<username>\AppData\Komodo\VRSC\ as a file named wallet.dat, on linux ~/.komodo/VRSC/ .
3. Delete everything in that VRSC directory, except VRSC.conf and wallet.dat (it should be fine, just good to backup before deleting anything in that directory)
4. Reload the wallet and wait until sync
5. Confirm your balances

It's likely that will solve the problem, and if so, you had some corruption in your local chain state.

I have done the needed steps but I can not send even 1 VRSC, screenshot: https://snag.gy/eYXw2V.jpg

Please help

Anybody? Verus? Btw i can transfer funds beteeen z addresses but cant transfer to transparent one

[VerusCoin]

Bitwookie, you've been claiming false accusations since the beginning, first claiming that we were GPU mining on a new CPU-only algo made specifically to prevent that possibility, when we were dealing with the same issues as everyone in hash rate. I've explained our position fairly, and if you cared about the value of the coin, as we do, I would think you'd support us getting our fair share, not falsely accusing more. We paid more money than we expected for the same reasons others found mining hard, as I told you. I've tried to be open with you, but I should not have to because these transactions are ours. We paid for the computer power, and we mined them, just like any other miner. What is your goal? Just troll and falsely accuse? We have been honest. If you can't see that, I'm sorry.

[bitwookie]

can i ask you one thing, what cpus did you use to mine +100,000 coins?

Hi,
I may know what the problem is and if so, there is a fix in the coming wallet. Do you only have money in z-addresses and not t? If so, that will be fixed shortly. I will PM you with something to try.

[VerusCoin]

72 core c5.18xlarge amazon servers.

[bitwookie]

what part of fair launch says that this is fair?

devs prep themselves, getting amazon servers ready prior to launch, mine +100,000 coins not enabling ANYONE else to mine their coin fairly, suddenly they lose these coins somehow and now want to hardfork to get them selves another +100,000 coins because of their stuff up.

good luck....

how you think this is a fair launch is beyond me........

[bitwookie]

no wonder no one could find any blocks, because you devs were hogging the whole lot! so all in all , devs have 20% premine

lol

Thx for your reply. Yes, only on z addresses now. Thanks!

We commissioned those servers AFTER the larger miners were on, and we were never able to get near the hash power of some other miners, so I'm sure we weren't the only ones who had to use Amazon.

Hi, I can't PM you. We have intermediate builds that are likely to fix the issue, but they are not considered released. You can try one from my google drive:
[edit: I deleted these links because they will fork at height 10080, we will release the actual update tomorrow, which will be a critical update that will activate on Tuesday. Please upgrade ASAP, especially if you have these intermediate wallets. If they cause you to fork, I can help you get back on.]

I hope this helps.
