[ANN] [PoW] [PoS] VEIL - Privacy without compromise

I received the very same error message so I wanted to know what's the new rule that got activated?

It's been there since i got into veil. I think it's something to do with them testing a fork on testnet.

Hello, do you have also problem with the stability of the wallet? It is crashing after a while and I am not able to synchronize all datas  .
I am using Veil 1.03 64bit.

it is a bug in the wallet, if you want to sync after longer time being offline you will not do it direct through the open wallet. It crashes everytime after 5-10 minutes syncing. You have to download a latest copy of whole blockchain into your VEIL data directory and let the wallet sync the last missing blocks (it takes only 2-3 minutes and it fails to crash this way). You can find the copy of blockchain here: https://veil.tools/docs/snapshots.html
It's a bit confusing to go this way with a currency that should be safe and anonymous. It may cause less concern about the authenticity of the copy, and we must rely on the copy of the chain to be original and unchanged directly from the devs. I hope this bug will be fixed ASAP.

They're still working for the update, right now you should do that trick above. A bit annoying and quite weird tbh, and as marecek says, it causes serious decentralization problem if not fixed properly as everyone needs to rely on snapshots when they're offline for a long time.

It’s fixed on the current master build, so will be in the next release.

The new rule was the deactivation of unlinkable zerocoin spends, so if you wish to stake anonymously you need to mint through RingCT currently.

Nice to hear that. I'm waiting for the next release too because I don't want to overuse my quota if I failed to sync.

But what happens if most of the people keep using the standard that is relevant now? IPV6 means a massive change to a lot of things, doesn't it?

You may use snapshot (https://veil.tools/docs/snapshots.html), that's how I got my wallet synchronized, using it will save your data as you can reuse it.

Edit: my bad, someone already suggested using snapshot.

Developers really are dumping all those thousands of veil they are minting? The price chart seems to suggest this.

Will there be light weight wallet available anytime soon or hardware wallet support? I want to have an option where I could send or spend Veil quickly.

Hey LuckyBtc. Development is focused on the desktop core wallet right now, so we can't give an ETA as to when we will have any other types of wallets ready. I do know that we have mobile wallets planned for the future.

[alicea]

Hey, @veilMaDOS can you please give us any ETA on when the anonymity feature will come back for staking rewards?

[veilMaDOS]

Hey alicea. We can't give an ETA for that for right now, but we will make an announcement as soon as we are able to.
