[ANN] [V] Version - Rare Desirable NO PREMINE Store of Value -->> v0.8.9.9 FIX

[pigheadbig]

mmm blockchain 164651 vs 222710  ?  something is not right.

Back everything up (and your wallet.dat twice!) and re-download the blockchain.

164651 is 2 days old... i think that blockchain is dead...

someone need to fix it.

i think so, everything we do after 164651 wont be registered in the blockchain, so is useless mine, PoS or transfer funds until fixed

[migello]

my guess or someone is trying to forcefully fork?

[Mysy Jack]

Anyone able to shed any light on this?

The blockchain that each wallet holds is not something anyone can just "fix". What can be done is create a newer version of the wallet and instruct it to not accept connections from older version clients.

Soon (I can't give an exact date I'm afraid as this is a secondary project for me and there are lots of tests to be done), I will issue an update of the wallet. This update will be mandatory, in order to ban the wallets that are still open and don't have correct blockchain (most probably by forgotten nodes or massive PoS blocks that got rejected by the net), maintain the coin (like adding checkpoints) and hopefully a fix for the lag issues the wallet has, especially when it is minting PoS blocks.

For those who have trouble downloading the chain, first close your wallet completely and then go to the folder that has the version.conf file (for Windows that's %appdata%\version\version.conf and for Linux is /home/[username]/.version/versoin.conf) and first of all back it up (copy and paste for windows, cp version.conf version.conf.bak for linux) and then insert in the version.conf file the following directive:

Code:

connect=69.64.43.236

The above instructs your wallet to connect only with that IP and download the blockchain from it.
Once your wallet is fully synced, stop it and remove (or put a # in-front of) the connect directive and re-open your wallet.

Will give it a try.Thanks for the guide.

almost all 2.500.000 coins are mined

good or bad?

[TimC]

almost all 2.500.000 coins are mined

good or bad?

Once it reaches the next halving at block 260,000 there will be 1,250,000 coins mined which is only half of the total supply. Currently on block 244431 so soon the rewards will drop down to 2 coins per block from the current 4 coins per block.

Block reward table:
25: 0-10,000
4.0: 10,001-260,000
2.0: 260,001-510,000
1.0: 510,001-760,000
0.5: 760,001-1,010,000
0.25: 1010001+

But still under value the coin

[mindfox]

But still under value the coin

We are the ones that should be doing something to make it have the real value this coin deserves.
Let's make some fuzz about it. V should be known via Facebook, Google+, Twitter, reddit, you name it

Let's build a strong community around this great coin.

I am trying to get us on another exchange and setup a giveaway there (won't reveal the name of the exchange yet) so that V gets more publicity.

Also, I would like to address to anyone that can donate some of their coins so we make some bounties for it.
What kind of bounties? Let's post our ideas.

For example:

• New Logo
• New Wallet theme
• Media coverage
• Posts on other crypto-currency related fora

Add to that, we discuss the amount of bounties and we gather the required coins.
I hope we will all contribute with whatever we can.
I'll donate 100 coins

[c-cex]

Version added to c-cex.com exchange!

You can trade ver to BTC, USD:

https://c-cex.com/?p=ver-btc
https://c-cex.com/?p=ver-usd

And any other coin we have (70+):

https://c-cex.com/?p=ver-ltc
https://c-cex.com/?p=ver-drk
https://c-cex.com/?p=ver-grc

...

Welcome and have a good trades!

That was fast

Let's get our wheels spin. It's up to us

Soon I'll be posting the new github address for it and soon after that (hopefully) the updated code with new wallets compiled

Nice job MindFox. I can donate 10000V for faucets and promotions.
I have 330 items listed on eBay and was thinking about accepting V's for those.

I do like current design though. Can you also get hold of the website? I would really like paper wallet working. As I said, with that design these will go fast on eBay, getting a lot of popularity.
Block explorer is not functioning too. These are high priority things.

Agreed, mindfox is doing a ton of work to support Version, and the community needs to do its part, if we want it to succeed.

I too can donate 10,000V.

Would be great to see other people pitching in, even if it is only to get an idea of who is still committed to the coin and interested to see it succeed.  If you are interested post here.

In my opinion the design is pretty good, but the colour scheme/style sheet needs cleaning up for the Windows wallet as the font isn't always readable.

Obviously the checkpoint message also needs fixing.

However, to my mind the most important issue is the PoS minting rate.  I feel there must be something wrong with the algorithm, but the current rate of PoS minting seems far too high.  I would actually prefer to see it removed entirely but would be happy to hear alternative views.

If you accept V for payment.
People gonna to put their righ in Version at no time )

I can donate 500 V also.

No need to remove it. This feature makes this coin quite unique. Yes, it's huge inflation generating loads of new coins, but is it really that bad? PoS coin generation can be easily absorbed by newcomers. But we need to make it clear to everyone - PoS is huge (I am getting 100% each 10-12 days I think). Do I want to  sell it with this rate? Not really. (see where demand kicks in?) As for eBay, market will always have buy-wall. Like now it's 171, I'll base my price on that.

We need more real stuff items listed somehow. Bit for bit is good of cause, but something tangible is way better.

The reason I am concerned about the PoS minting rate is as follows:

1. The spec. in the OP is for 10% per annum, it is running well above that at the moment, so something is wrong

2. The coin is only meant to have 2.5 million coins total - does this include the PoS coins? Or rather is it meant to include them? If it is meant to include them, is the algorithm implemented correctly to ensure that?  If it is not meant to include them then see point 3.

3. With the low total number of coins I do not think this is really a transactional coin, rather, as the OP says it is a store of value; but who will invest in V on that basis if the number of coins is doubling every couple of weeks?

Given that I think if there is to be a PoS element (and other coins do have PoS) then it should be in the 1-3% per annum range at most.

In any event the algorithm needs to be reviewed and checked.

Again these are my views - what I really want see is people engaging with the thread and being part of the community.

[mindfox]

I wish Happy Easter to everyone.

I haven't done anything yet as these days, family comes first.

I believe we can do great things with V so stay tuned. There are many ideas which needs discussion and I'm glad that there are V holders that want to support this. Hopefully more will join this effort.

I would also like to thank C-CEX Exchange for taking our coin into it's trade walls (which by the way we need to start filling, both sides )

i think 20/25% per week or 50% per month should be enough to keep from selling
