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

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

I will be on the move a lot and my Mac doesn't have much of storage left right now so is there any plan for you guys to release a lite version of the wallet that doesn't require us to synch to the network?

Storage was a big issue for me as well. Unfortunately, the Veil project is still in its infancy and the developers simply don't have enough resources and manpower to develop a lite wallet. I guess there are more urgent priorities that need to be taken care of. One option for you is to download the snapshot (around 8GB) and sync the wallet using that.

This is a good option but has its drawbacks and is not clear to many users.
At this stage of development, the wallet is an important component as long as there is no mobile option or online access option.
And it is precisely at this point that there are many problems.

This must be sent to the developers and as smallholders and if someone doesn't have enough resources and that will be so difficult for them to own veil or even store in their wallet. Lite wallet will be very useful to make sure anyone even smallholders can adopt a veil. What thing that should need to be evaluated just like you must sync your wallet to the network before you can receive your amount in your wallet.

Well... I am not denying the fact that the absence of an online wallet or a lite wallet is one of the most important issues that the Veil users are facing right now. But at the same time, I don't want to add the workload of the developers. One of the options available for you is to store the coins in an exchange. But this is not safe, and you won't be able to do staking.

[VeilDango]

Mobile wallet is planned and will eventually be released, but it is correct that other development tasks are being prioritized. Right now, our devs are focusing on implementing a solution to a major Zerocoin vulnerability and re-enabling Zerocoin protocol privacy, and developing the new privacy protocol that will replace Zerocoin in the future.

That should be fine. You can check if precomputing is working by entering this into console and seeing if your Zerocoin denominations are at 90%+ precomputed:
showspendcaching

You can also confirm staking is working correctly by typing in getwalletinfo and checking for staking active true line:
getwalletinfo

I don't know what was the actual problem for My wallet from the past 2 days it is saying "Unknown. Syncing Headers". In order to solve this what was the procedure, i need to follow for the blocks to be matured again?

I suggest restarting the wallet and see if it can get past that stage. Also, were you able to sync up properly in the past? The blockchain data is currently 11GB+ so will take a while to download. Using a snapshot will greatly speed up the process.

Why do you not wear an avatar that can help you to be easily recognized among other Veil supporters? I meant a totally different avatar than the one that Veil supporters used. Wearing avatar is a priviledge of Full Member rank and above, so I think VeilDango should take advantage of such rights. Designing a special avatar that only be used by VEIL team is great idea, in my opinion, because it helps readers, especially new comers of the topic easily find where are VEIL team and their replies in the topic.

What do those percentages really mean ( in layman's terms) ?

and two more question. The wallet   always ends up being connected to eight nodes, no more and no less. 1) Is there any way to increase that number by adding active peers? 2) How to find out a complete list of all Veil nodes (particularly their IP) that are  active at the moment.

You need to mention the size of the snapshots as well. I tried to download some of them, but cancelled the download after finding out that the average size is around 8 GB. But if you can afford that much data, then these snapshots can prove quite useful. The wallets are currently facing sync issues in some cases and if you use snapshots, then you can resolve this.

He doesn't need to mention the size because the size will have changed anytime as per the increase of the block, he just need to visit that link and they will see the size and he can decide does he need to download it or not.

It's a good time to buy. Mining difficulty is about the same, staking difficulty has sky rocketed.

Your definitely right about the Staking sky rocket. It's been almost 2weeks since my last block... And i'm continously adding like 1-200 a week so I would have assumed I was keeping up with the difficulty.
I guess not

With the price going down at the moment we can expect the staking difficulty to rise even further up. Even with 6k Veils, it's getting harder to get a stake every 3-7 days.

I didn't understand the price movement while staking with VEIL. I asked my questions on the telegram admin but he didn't even respond back to my messages after reading it.  Can someone explain the details, please?

As admins, we're not supposed to talk about price. We don't know the factors for sure, but one that probably has contributed to price decrease was the Zerocoin vulnerability that was discovered, and we had to prevent from being used by temporarily disabling Zerocoin protocol. The vulnerability HAS NOT been used in Veil. Also, we plan to re-enable Zerocoin so that Zerocoin privacy goes live again, and we plan to implement some new privacy protocols and migrate away from Zerocoin to a more scalable private transaction system.

Hi,

Is there any chance to get contact with technical support ?
I wonder if the approximatively 800 zerocoin that I have lost from my wallet, while upgrading it from 1.0.2.0 to 1.0.3.0, has or not relation with the zerocoin vulnerability

Write to veil telegram chat or private message to veildango.

So, what is your question? maybe, i can help to answer that. Are you wanna asking about how much you will earn from staking veil or how much emission from veil? You should write your question and what is your main concern.
