the Veil Project Mining- Privacy without Compromise

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

For staking, we will always need to download the whole blockchain and it is getting bigger and bigger every day.

This is something that the users here have been complaining for more than a month now, but as of now no solutions are available. I also have Veil desktop wallet in my laptop, and right now it occupies close to 10 GB hard disk space (can expect a slight growth as the blockchain gets bigger). I have enough space in my laptop so it is not a concern for me. But the case may not be the same for everyone.

Instead of complaining about it for a month, users should just have downloaded the snapshot a month ago and got on with it. Wallet version 1.0.3 has been very stable. Much more so than the previous version. Haven't had to re-sync or re-download the chain anymore since.

Absolutely!!! I have been using Veil 1.0.3 for almost a month now, and I haven't faced any issues ever since I was able to sync it 100%. The developers have worked really hard to deliver a stable version that has very few bugs. I have tried some of the commands using the tutorials, and I am very happy with the performance and ease of use.

when you open the wallet, side by side with the staking button there's a precomputing button, just click the grey area and it'll become blue.
enabled!

Ah.. Thank you very much may be this will bring me some luck in the staking.

Guys, when I download new update, all synchronized datas will remain? Because after few days I am still on 30% due to my slow internet connection. 

Yes, all the synchronized data should remain intact. I would still suggest you to download the chain snapshots because they are much faster to download.

yeah,ok. Downloading every time a new snapshot to enter your wallet is somewhat tiring, as for me...
I hope the developers are paying attention to this moment

Here many people are specifying they have already released the new version of the wallet which we are not going to face any wallet issues. So you can check their latest wallet update and start downloading in order to get your staking rewards.

The latest version of Veil is version 1.0.3.0, which was released quite some time back. I am using this version, and so far I have't faced any issue with syncing the wallet or mining. In case you are using an earlier version, then it may be recommended to install the new version. Make sure that the blockchain files are not deleted. Else you may need to download them (~10 GB) once again.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion, but how I can download the chain snapshots?
Veil is relatively new cryptocurrency but blockchain data are quite large   .

Hey here (https://veil.tools/docs/snapshots.html) you can find the latest snapshot of the blockchain.

You will only have to download the snapshot once after that the blockchain would sync much easily (If you have enough space on your HDD).

Downloading snapshot is optional though, for people with limited internet access for example is people with expensive cost of data per GB that'd be pain in the ass however snyncing directly also take a lot of time, maybe you could try using some kind of VPS from RELIABLE hoster for sole purpose to host your wallet that'd be convenient but kinda security risking if you don't know how to choose.

Of course, you can download the snapshot but every time the snapshot size kept increasing which almost more than 11GB now, which it might take some time for downloading and if you follow step by step your wallet will sync up to date.

It is a great initiative for Veil to combine both proof of stake and proof of work mining. Most of us didn't like the proof of work because of the high electricity consumption. But now that Veil project is combining it with the proof of stake, i believe more people would be attracted to stake more coins for mining. Thanks for the resources, I'll be starting soon.

Yes, the size of the blockchain is one of the major issues right now because it's not even one year yet and size is already 11GB+ but once you downloaded the snapshot it will hardly take an hour to fully sync to network.

When veil becomes more popular like other lower end privacy coins e.g. xspec, deeponion, the snapshots will put newbies off this project. If it grows like monero then it really needs fixing

well, after I used this version, my wallet again started syncing after using the previous version which didn't develop. well, sync synchronization is still faster, it's just that this may depend on the internet network that I use.

totally agree. Now I just sit and download snapshot - 11.3  GB , it diwnload for almost an hour just to check the balance.
This situation will scare many newbies.

[dragonmike]

Anybody noticed that the market data link in Blockfolio for Vinex.Network (incidentally the exchange with highest volume to trade VEIL currently) does not work? 1st world problems, pf course, but a bit annoying to have unreliable market data there.

it'd be great to have a web wallet, I know its not the safer option but would be definitely good.

Whether you download snapshot or sync directly, size will be the same, so it does not make a difference in data usage.

AFAIK, The team did say that creating a lite wallet is on their to-do list. But for now, they are focusing more on the current wallet.

Looks like that studio1one was talking about common problem.
Many people complain that it takes a lot of time. Even if you downloaded a snapshot, the synchronization of 1-2% percent may take several hours. Unfortunately, I'm among these lucky ones.

Not only the recent snapshot but also they need to download the new version of the wallet and it will surely increase block maturity speed and in future, we don't see any synchronisation problem any more.
