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

[Gema]

...
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

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.

pm me too. same problem with transfer from z-address. all coins on z-address.

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.

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

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, does not make any sense at all

This is what we'll do to allay any skepticism. These are our transactions, and we will post a list of transaction ids. If anyone can spend one of those, then it is not ours. No one will be able to because they are ours. They have proof of work or proof of stake proof, and that can't be faked. That is definitive proof that we will provide.

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

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:
Windows: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iLwcq3rP3U3agIY4tDtymqH7VxKAVmwJ
Mac: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18CPZFZ7l8c2praj-XJTeAh9zplGwMC3p

I hope this helps.

Thanks! It's work!

Hey, VerusCoin, I need your little time here, buddy.

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 jackbtc1,
They will release sometime between the next 3 months from now and 2 years and 3 months from now. Exactly when is uniformly random over that time period.

If there is a list of the specific utxos that the devs mined that nobody else is able to spend, then it seems that their story (as unlikely as it sounds) is the most plausible explanation.

They claim they scrambled to use AWS instances (which anybody else was also able to do) and botched it. Doesnt reflect too well on their ability to manage AWS instances, so it is a good thing this coin isnt about managing AWS instances.

This is a brand new coin and relatively speaking most of the moving parts have worked. If what they claim is true, we are talking about the dev team's coins that they mined paying premium rates via AWS. It seems to me it is in the interest of all that they are able to access their coins, as long as they really did mine them. After all do we want a dev team with more or less funds?

I suggest we wait to see the list of utxos, make sure none of them are still actively being spent and that nobody is able to show they can spend any of the utxo. In this case there are no new coins being created, nobody is losing coins, I can only see one problem that makes it a bit unfair.

It seems that others that paid big prices for AWS might feel it is unfair that they cant get an advantage due to the dev teams mistakes. If there are any such large AWS miners that feel this way and prefer that the dev team not have enough funds to continue development, let them come forward and present their case.

From what I can tell 100,000 VRSC would have cost quite a lot of money and it shows very good potential for this project that the devs decided to do it. I dont think they are quite telling how severely it would be hurting the project if they cant recoup these coins.

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.

I have when trying to start with those parameters.

Code:

./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

You are almost certainly trying to run it with a CPU that doesn't have AES-NI instructions. Most Intel and AMD CPUs newer than about 5 or 6 years have them. We will have a version in the not too distant future that will run on other CPUs, but they will be useful for staking, not mining. We expect that some ARM CPUs will have accelerated support in the future as well, but we don't support that yet.

You can check with this tool: http://cpuid.com

hello，is there any telegram or something comunity like that？

[jackbtc1]

Where can I buy VRSC?

Welcome to pm me, if you want buy some VRSC coin, already sell some at price 15$, not too much left able to be transfer now.

Did you sell them to someone on Bitcointalk? If so, can you have them confirm the transaction please (a trust rating would also work). How did you set that price? Thank you.

Hey guys, I fount out there is no community at all for Verus, so I create a Telegram channel for it, here is the link, welcome everyone to join, we need a platform to gather together.

Try it guys.

Is this coin dead ? Is mineable?

[BTC-BTC-BTC]

Anyone is successfully mining on this VSRC with your CPU? I used "setgenerate true 15" on the second command line but I don't see anything is happening.

[j4rd4]

For me no deal: "CLI response: Error reading configuration file: Missing komodo.conf".
Using linux version.

Well technically anyone who is mining VSRC is using their CPU ... The thing is the network hash rate is quite high, so the probability of getting a block with a somehow low hash rate is quite low. You can get your hash rate and the network's by executing getmininginfo.
