What’s Kevacoin?

Kevacoin is a cryptocurrency for the blockchain that supports easy and flexible Key-Value data store. Use it like Redis or other popular data store, except that the data is stored on the public blockchain that is not owned by any entities.

The data store is easy to add, update and access. No programming skills are required and it does not need smart contracts and their associated complications and risks.

Use it for publications, microblogging, public identities, notaries, etc.

Fair Launch

We are committed to a fair launch, with no pre-mining, no founders' reward and no ICO.

[calmstorm]

Yes, it is still testnet. We aim to launch the mainet in January, 2020, will keep everyone posted!
Ubuntu binary build is available now (check the download link "Linx 64-bit" at the bottom of the page):

Nice introduction, nice website, waiting for mining pools

Thanks. We may recommend some mining pools before mainnet launch.

[calmstorm]

Discord please good sir ?

Thanks for the suggestion. We currently have Gitter (check the link at the bottom of https://kevacoin.org) for the Kevacoin community. We will consider Discord if we need it in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion. We currently have Gitter (check the link at the bottom of https://kevacoin.org) for the Kevacoin community. We will consider Discord if we need it in the future.

You do not need to consider it because almost nobody here uses Gitter. Discord or Telegram is more convenient to use and user friendly.
How many developers are currently developing this project?

i think those scan is just a false scan but i think it will be good to wait the answer from the DEV itself

I believe they are false scans. Kevacoin source code is derived from Litecoin. Similar results (even a few more) have been detected from the latest Windows installer from their official website:

We built the Windows installer on Ubuntu using cross-compiler toolchain, to minimize any potential possibility that the Windows OS has been compromised. I.e. our Windows installer is built on a Windows-free environment.

If in doubt, you can always build the Windows version of Kevacoin core from the source code:

Ok Dev.
Just wondering as there is to many scammers and virus app around ..

Maybe really a false scan
Thank you for you time

Why can't the wallet of windows 10 open?

Why can't the wallet of windows 10 open?

I did not try to open it yet .. I just scanned it ..
But I still have doubts on this  scan / false- positive .

[calmstorm]

Why can't the wallet of windows 10 open?

Not sure if this is problem you encountered, Kevacoin's mainnet is not launched yet. For now, you have to pass the "-testnet" option to "kevacoin-qt.exe":

1. Open the command console (Click the search icon the task bar, type "cmd").
2. cd "Program Files\Kevacoin"
3. kevacoin-qt.exe -testnet
4. Wait for the wallet to sync.

Or you can use my method to enable it.
1. Click [Windows logo]+ R then type Appdata
2. Select Roaming > find Kevacoin
3. Create .txt file with name Kevacoin and insert testnet=1 in the file.
4. Change the file extension from .txt into .conf and then run the wallet.

Now it shows that the test network can mine？

[calmstorm]

Yes, you can mine on the testnet. This can be useful to test solo-mining and your mining pool software.

For solo-mining, follow this guide:
https://kevacoin.org/tutorial_solo_mining.html

If you want to start a mining pool, there is a reference implementation:
https://kevacoin.org/mining.html

You can use any miners that support Cryptonight R (variant 4) hashing algorithm.

If you want to implement your own mining pool, it is easier to modify from an existing Crypotnight (e.g. Monero) mining pool software. Kevacoin is derived from Bitcoin/Litecoin, so it is not a privacy coin. But its mining interface has been modified so that it is compatible with Cryptonight stratum protocol and miners.

I`m a bit confused now after  read your mining  guide ..
Should not then my address start with prefix V?
So why I have  with T ?
