[NamoCoin]

yes, indeed a great news.

Guys what exchange should we all approach to get VC listed? last time it got listed in 3-4 of them, at least we should get one for now.

I think if we can get VC listed on Bitfinex, DABTC or Coincheck that would be the best.
If we all agree Dev, lets all approach them.

lmao.
QUESTION : how does the block reward work for this coin
first hundred block reward does not seem to match the code.
https://github.com/vcoin-z/virtualcoin/blob/9.2.0/src/main.cpp#L1324
or i forked it also
https://github.com/bumbacoin/virtualcoin/blob/9.2.0/src/main.cpp#L1324


for some random reason dev sent me 100k VC.
i had looked at block rewards previously, and i obviously don't fully appreciate their subtlety.
but it appears on a cursory inspection that the max block reward is 50 coins, so for the life of me i dinna ken where 100k would've come from to be randomly sent to me.

so, lacking a block explorer. i restarted my daemon with -txindex. and what do you know, the 2nd block has a reward of 1.7 million coins..
in fact i checked a few, and my guess is the first hundred blocks all have a reward of 1.7 million coins.

lolllll.

there's a mention of block 100 in the main.cpp, so i figured the rewards probably switch around then. so i tried block 99

similarly block 100 has a reward of 1771561.00000000 coins. but luckily, the madness stops there and block 101 goes to a 1 coin reward.

EDIT.
i was pretty confused by the reward schedule, but after a bit of looking i realised it was reasonably straight forward, hidden in plain sight as it were

    if(nHeight >= 100 && nHeight < 3000) {
        if((nHeight >= 101 && dDiff > 75) || nHeight >= 1000) {
            // 222000/(((x+2600)/9)^2)
            nSubsidy = (222000.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 5;
            if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 1;
        } else {
            nSubsidy = (1112.0 / (pow((dDiff+51.0)/6.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 5;
            if (nSubsidy < 25) nSubsidy = 1;
        }
    } else {
        nSubsidy = (1111.0 / (pow((dDiff+1.0),2.0)));
        if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 5;
        if (nSubsidy < 1) nSubsidy = 1;
           nSubsidy = pow (11.0, 6.0);
   }


mystery solved

            nSubsidy = pow (11.0, 6.0);

is 11^6 = 1771561

[bumbacoin]

tl/dr

the first 100 blocks generated a total of 177,156,100 coins ??
(but the pic below does suggest a minor difference )


what were they for i'm wondering ?
(i see no mention of this premine nor discussion of its purpose)

it's different or false again..?? Coin Supply VC 175 million..?

From what I understand their was some issue in the code, dev is expected to release fix in the next version.
Also old chaps like me and other VC supporters who had mined old VC don't end up loosing all the mining done so far.
Your must have got it for the Mac wallet support?
Their is good possibility your 100k will drop to 100 with the next release, let's help him turn VC into success for everyone.

i dont understand what is happening with this coin.
apologies if my posts create FUD.

trawling through the thread i cant see discussion of this ??

and the new version does not modify anything of muchness in the code except reward schedules (including increasing the premine) so it certainly seems that any issues would have been best addressed before this was released ?
https://github.com/vcoin-z/virtualcoin/commit/4c8e9257b76b75b33c8e21aca02b82747b3b3aeb


well the issue is very easy to fix. Delete one line.
it certainly appears to be left there deliberately.

if this wants to be legit, the best thing to do would be to restart again with the code modified very slightly
AND
a block explorer

Any concerns please feel free to PM myself.

I have many questions man. However, I won't PM u since I've already PMed myself. I just sent a message to myself asking when virtual coin hardfork is scheduled to be deployed, and answered this question to myself. I told that no forks are supposed to happen until the mid march. Once I've done with talking to myself I started seeing 50 million supply in wallet RPC console. Was it a glitch or someone forked the source when I was busy sending PMs to myself.

[bitcoinrulzz]

bumbacoin, that's BS. you making decision by yourself to reboot...

I am associated with VC from last 3 years since launch & had been mining.
1st Coins are needed to honor & support all those users who had mined, they should not loose that.
2nd where does the bounty coins came from?
3rd wallets, exchange, promotion, marketing etc all requires coins.
4th, Maybe you never mined VC coin here this year, but what about many users like me who are mining last 2 weeks?

But I do suggest rest of them after the use above should be destroyed once coin is stable. Also suggest you only keep the portion you think you deserve, rest return back to dev.

I bet you will not return any part of the coins you got.

[joblessminer]

<BUMBACOIN>
I see you started new coin last year
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=592679.0
Per thread you listed Max 20M coins.

On block 2, you mined all.
http://blockchain.bumbacoin.com/block/00000d9768fedbcd446915b0124af17c63d26ef04feaa17efb8bfbddf6c498d3

Now your own coin is dead.

[bumbacoin]

i agree that a reboot of the chain needs to use the 177 million coin premine to distribute coins to previous holders,

as joblessminer pointed out, we also did the same thing with bumba.
relaunched bumba2 with premine distributed to prior holders of bumba1.
i also recently participated in the B3 swap from one chain to another.

i fully support such a premine to be used to move balances to a new chain,

but as a new comer to Virtual Coin, there is a dearth of information on such a swap.
and if there is a swap, then discussion of the premine is necessary.

i look forward to further discussion of how such a swap will happen.




heh and also $1

[gregofdoom]

That's right, there are many old investors who mined the previous VC.
We should focus on the current project and help dev. Together we are stronger.

I hope that will be soon going VC to exchange, it may be Yobit?
