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

[VerusCoin]

Those addresses are yours. The wallet keeps a pool of addresses that it selects for new blocks when mining or staking. You can verify that these are your addresses by copying one and using the command:
validateaddress <address>

In the settings section of the wallet, under </> CLI. Just select VRSC (native), where you select the coin, enter the command in the line below, and click "execute".

It's a fork of komodo, and it's using EQUIHASH or i am wrong ?

Or do they managed to change it ?

You can download the wallet from http://veruscoin.io/ and the miner is inside the wallet.

Mining instruction is at the OP.

Do you have a github PR for your POS solution ? or commit that describe well the process of integration of your Proof Of Stake ? I got an eye on the commits but can't figure out it ... any PR or anything clear please ?

This coin has unfair start. Some one can mine, someone not.

It's VerusHash with a Haraka512 v2 core. You can't hash a cryptocurrency with Haraka512 as spec'ed.

Completely fair start. 15 minute notice. Same software for everyone. Not sure what you define as fair.

I'm talking about something like that

i5 desktop and I'm getting

1217472.649549769

second problem is that one of my pc's will not sync and cannot find any peers other two pcs have 8 peers / connections ( not a windows firewall issue have tried with it fully disabled )

I have the same problem 

I was trying to sync 3 PC's. Finally I switched to another coin.

So far, we have found that there are some PCs that can't mine, as mentioned in the OP:
System requirements:
Mining and staking wallets are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Currently, you will require an Intel or AMD processor with AES instructions. Most Intel or AMD CPUs made within the past 5 or 6 years support these instructions. You can check yours specifically by running this free utility: https://www.cpuid.com/

Of those that we have confirmed can, I believe we have been able to get everyone who let the community discord help them, get going. We recently found that some people hadn't seen the system requirements or hadn't checked, and it turned out that was the issue. It seems a little unfair to call it unfair if that's the issue. If not, I'd be happy to help you get going if you decide to try again.

Not really. We're working on the white paper.

Basically, POS competes across the network by a lottery ticket you get each block, for every UTXO that is older than 150 blocks. The lottery ticket is a hash and a target, the hash is made by hashing transaction ID, output numbers (so, the UTXO), a constant hash specific to our chain, so that if other chains use it, it will be different, a hash of the block 100 blocks behind the staking block, and a block height. This resulting hash is divided by the UTXO value and used in a competition to meet a specific difficulty. I borrowed some of the ideas from jl777s suggestion of using UTXOs independently and the last block staking transaction, which I used as components of the solution I implemented. Every staked block includes a no-fee staking transaction that moves the UTXO which won the competition forward, where it must sit for another 150 blocks before it can stake again.

The difficulty is managed much like PoW difficulty, but the PoS is totally relative to PoW, in that the difficulty is a function of solve time in units that are multiples of blocks passed. There are a few more details, but that's the basic POS system. To do that, it required work across numerous files, and I did it in stages.

Why block reward goes to the new address every time?
Should I backup my wallet after each found block?

[BivanF]

i must say that this realy looks good but it is one of the hardest wallets for me to get it working , isn't there an easier option to mine this because the wallet is pure horror for me

Those are change addresses. It's common when using a native wallet. It would be nice to add a toggle on the wallet to disable change addresses.

What OS? We will have pre-built command line wallets out, probably early next week.

So now every time new address created after I find new block...
Should I backup wallet every time I find block?
Or old backup will work?

keypool is used, so you should be good for 100 blocks or so
