[ANN] Vcash - Secure & Privacy & Store of Value

[dominodomino]

What's VCash
=============
VCash is the combined outcome of Bitcoin characteristics integrated with Mimblewimble technology. It inherits Bitcoin’s distribution mechanism and uses Grin's Mimblewimble implementation.

Bitcoin has proven some facts in the last ten years. For example, the best way to protect assets is consuming energy through POW, a fixed quantity of coins give rise to good performance, ASIC devices do not violate the goal of decentralisation, and decentralised systems are reliable.

Currently, Bitcoin's privacy protocol is still relatively poor whereby the flow of most transactions under the UTXO model are analysed, and transaction amounts are made public. This means there are no privacy and anonymity in Bitcoin, which in turn hinders liquidity of the coins and limits people's freedom to use the coins.

Grin's privacy protocol is second to none. It is extremely reliable and simple because it only utilises a number of basic mathematical laws. It is such a pity that the only blemish in Grin is that its coin parameter settings adopted the linear coin delivery model.

VCash combines advantages of the two coins. In terms of Bitcoin, it inherits its economic parameter as well as its immense hash power. In terms of Grin, it derives its powerful technology in privacy protocols.

VCash adopts Merged Mining method to mine coins alongside Bitcoin, that is, VCash blocks can be computed whilst computing Bitcoin blocks. In general, POW chains need to take into consideration that there is a 51% risk of attack on the network. Since Bitcoin has the largest number of miners in the world whereby hash power is broadly distributed, VCash can easily obtain most of Bitcoin’s hash power with the support of the Bitcoin mining pool. This means VCash possesses the same level of security as Bitcoin hence launching a 51% attack on it would be equally difficult.

The goal of VCash is to be the most private and secure chain for storing values.

Please update your Rust to latest version.

Can you provide more information? ?

[BTCspace]

no wallet?

[kudil]

Where information about team? and well I just checked your twitter was created on this month with 1 tweets 3 hours ago, baby project. Not only in here but your website also should to update with more information and description

[dominodomino]

no wallet?

Basically, the dev team has no time to do any promotion work right now. We are very happy to see that some companies/teams have accepted our invitation to join the promotion work.
And in the near future, we also hope that more developers from the community can contribute code to V.

is there any  incentive mechanisms for the promotion?

Vcash’s genesis block was mined on 28 March 2019, with block reward of 50 Vcash. Within just 2 months, block height has already reached 11625 (check their block explorer: https://vcash.tech/)  and approximately 2.8% of its total supply is being mined. Vcash’s current hashrate is about 2.2E, about 4.2% of Bitcoin’s hashrate. Pretty solid traction within a short time. Looking forward to more information being released.



Poolin mining pool is already supporting merged mining of Vcash with BTC. Heard to support merged mining with other tokens as well.

When will there be wallet windows? I wonder why some projects prefer to just compile their deals on Linux and OSX. It's known that Windows caters to most people.

Yes we need a windows wallet.
Or a more detailed way how to install on ubuntu 19.04. I am very, very new to Linux and I tried it, but it did not work.
I know it is no problem for Linux guys, so i think a more detailed description with step one by one would be great.

It would be more convenience to have window wallet or IOS wallet for this coin.... i saw Vcash in coinomi... and if u search in app store for Vcash...u found few non related apps using the same name..... there are too many coin using the same name "Vcash" ....

just look into their github https://github.com/vcashorg/vcash, there is no activity since May 9. It does indicate that the coin is under active development or new features to be added soon. But what surprises me that there 124 contributors to github. That's a real community open source project, it is strange that now it is waiting for something

I think the contributors are from MW, not Vcash.

coin have pool?

Still no windows?
