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

[VerusCoin]

i absolutelely waited to long with using my CPU to mine this but there where some word's i did not understand , like , "zk-SNARK", i totally missed this one , maybe i can try to get some with my 2gb graphic card but i am not sure if that is still worth it , but project seems great

How much MHS u have and how long u have waiting ?
 
And nope, for now there is no normaly GPU miner, we many expect it. But this can also greatly change network hashrate.

Based on the current efforts to make an efficient GPU algorithm, GPUs may not greatly affect hashrate at all. jl777 is still offering a 1 BTC bounty for anyone who makes a GPU miner that is significantly faster than the CPU miner. He has from the start, and so far, no GPU effort that we know of has even beaten fast CPUs Fastest implementation for a GPU on the algorithm, which is in a miner that is not yet mining properly, is getting under 140 MH/s on a 1080ti with a lot more power draw than this post from the hashrate channel in our Discord:
"1950x 1.2675v 3.9ghz 32 threads  1020 MH/s with nheqminer/pool"

That's the fastest posted CPU yet. My nephew gets 160 MH/s on his notebook.

Also, GPUs on risers drop the hashrates to under 30 MH/s. Unless someone really improves from where they are now, GPUs may not be a factor for the foreseeable future.

Verus uses VerusHash, the world's fastest cryptographic hash algorithm on x64 CPUs, equalizes the GPU and offers a credible ASIC solution. Verus uses the new Proof-of-Stake system in addition to Proof-of-Work, and combines dPoW Komodo for a safe and high attack-resistant chain.

Interesting ...

Will keep an eye on this as it develops.

Hello,
I tried to move it from the wallet to DigitalPrice.IO and the coins did not arrive. They do not even exist on the wallet.
I wrote to support the wallet, but they suggested me the old version of the wallet, which does not support VERUS.
Somebody can help me

OK, it was 3.11, now is 3.12. Can i get my lost founds back?
it was 3680 and 288 Verus

Now will try again.
With 50 Verus. Again messagw wass "success"

THX for help.

If there is a difference in balance between V11 and V12, then the coins on the older version are forked and have no value. Sorry. Easiest way to check is to compare your blockheight w/ the explorers and even better, comparing block hashes.

I sent a question to the exchange. I'll wait for the answer.

Almost certainly, your sent the coins while the wallet was out of sync on a fork. The exchange probably can't help. If the coins you had were valid on the main chain, they will still be on the main chain if you just update to the newest version and follow these instructions from the Discord faq-chosen channel:
```
Q. What should I do if I end up on my own fork because of a network issue or having an old version of the wallet?  For Windows GUI or CLI users.
1.)  Stop the wallet/mining process  by cleanly shutting down the program.
2.)  Make a backup of your wallet.dat file found in ...users/[your account]/AppData/roaming/Komodo/VRSC - Remember, this folder is a hidden folder and you must have your viewing preferences set to show hidden files and folders.
3.)  After making your backup of the wallet.dat file, delete everything other than the wallet.dat file from the ...users/[your account]/AppData/roaming/Komodo/VRSC folder.  Leave the wallet.dat file in place.  You backed this file up only as a precaution.
4.)  Download and extract the contents of either the 0.3.12a or later GUI or CLI wallet/miner.
5.)  Run the CLI or GUI version and let it resync with the proper chain.  If it hangs up on syncing, quit the wallet cleanly and start it up again.
6.)  Do not be dismayed if it seems that your mining rewards suddenly seem to come to a halt.  Remember, when you mine to the wrong chain rewards can come in very quickly, but they are worth nothing.

Let's suppose , if before locked coins become available in wallet, as can be seen in wallet?
Just as usually IN transaction?

Its better than Komodo with regard to profitability of mining, as it has fixes to PoS. Not sure why the prices are staying still though. Wait there are no places where u can trade except a shallow lagoon that gives off scam fumes called cryptopia. Also it is very uncommon that zk-snark crypto makes it out to cryptopia because normally this kind of shit does not go past "no exchanges" situation.

if I understand you correctly, yes. you can also use settings->CLI and enter the command getwalletinfo to see immature balance.

[VerusCoin]

We have just released a very nice update to both the Agama wallet and CLI. This release provides some features that the community has asked for, including immature balance display and transaction search filters on the GUI, a setting for autostarting VRSC in Agama,  as well as improved timing on staking and mining (reduced delay on block transitions), also improvements such as a rounding bug fix when selecting all funds to transfer, and a more graceful shutdown of Agama to reduce any possible risk of edge-case wallet issues on a busy machine with transactions in progress.

This is not a mandatory upgrade, but we encourage everyone to upgrade for a better experience. Newest releases for all platforms of GUI and CLI are available at https://veruscoin.io/

[cripperz]

would love to see this project being added to MRR for wider audience to rent and sell their hashing or connect to another pool compatibly.

Good night DEVs!
Lol, I am guessing this is in response to the Wall Street Journal article about the prevalence of fraudulent ICOs today. I wouldn't be surprised if someone created a ERC20 contract with this same name and ended up raising a decent amount of money. But that's not about this idea, for sure

[VerusCoin]

What an INCREDIBLE week it’s been! We started this week with a nice upgrade to add search filters and a little more efficiency, but by the end of the week, the Verus Community has made blockchain history with the Verus Hash algorithm and we have just released working Electrum servers and a lite mode Agama wallet, all with significant contribution by community members! This is an amazing feeling, as this week’s biggest achievements, from the bug fix point releases of the first Agama to the GPU miner, to the lite mode and Electrum server support would not have happened if not for the Verus Community working together! Thank you!
Remember, this is not a mandatory Agama update, but it is very cool and convenient. If you are on version 0.3.13 of the CLI, you don’t need to upgrade anything. That hasn’t changed.
So, where can you get the awesome new lite mode Verus Agama and GPU miners?

As usual the latest, non-mandatory Verus Agama, version 0.3.13c with lite mode support is at: https://veruscoin.io/

New, Nvidia GPU miner for Windows and Linux (Windows, make sure to download all dlls to same folder): https://github.com/monkins1010/ccminer/releases/tag/v2.2.61

I want to mention a few people involved in the community work this week, notably two people who first reported the bugs that were fixed (names are Discord names), @Crypto_boy and @mavenL, thank you both for your reports and help in quickly identifying and fixing errors.
I also want to give special recognition to "@Chris - LOUD Mining - Dev Ops" / monkins1010 for not only finishing the fastest GPU miner we’ve seen yet, although not so fast that we can’t keep CPU mining, but for working on it and releasing it openly to the community the first day he finished it. We’ve all heard stories of CPU-mineable coins that get blown away by secret GPU mining. Not only did we not have that in this case, it looks like we found out that CPU and GPU miners of Verus can now shake hands (credit for that statement goes to @bitopia, our new Verus Pool operator in the community).

Finally, I want to thank 0x03 of 0x03.services for helping not only get a much easier pool installation together for all pool operators to use and learn from, but for adding a bootstrap service to his website, working with me tirelessly through his night to help me get the Electrum servers up and running, and for offering to host the first community Electrum servers for Agama lite mode.

HI The GPU miner just exits with no error . trying with GTX1070 . Tried with various different intensities and on different computers . Using the Cuda8 version. Any suggestions .?

[wattson]

Hey guys!!!
Seeing all these in-depth discussions, all I want to ask is this – should I, a crypto newcomer, invest in a high-tech project such as this one? Will I be able to learn all of that CPU mining stuff?

It was only necessary to rest for a couple of weeks and here such chic news. I start testing for gpu miner.
Thanks for work!

As you may have heard, Zcash recently released the first Sapling compatible client and intends to activate Sapling on the Zcash network October 28th.

We have already integrated the Zcash Sapling changes into a Verus Coin test chain and are also planning to activate Sapling compatibility on the Verus Network October 28th. In addition, the next release and activation on October 28th will fully support Interchain Meta Contracts, based on Komodo's Crypto Conditions protocol. We will announce availability of the version with Sapling support and more details of the release in the next 2-3 weeks.

Here is a great article on Sapling and why it is important as well as who is activating it: https://medium.com/@EthAdvisor/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-upcoming-zcash-sapling-upgrade-why-its-so-important-and-b5787cc7b68e

Keep an eye out for future updates and availability of the next Verus wallet with Sapling support!
