[ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released

[zsp]

Is it possible to have a VeriCoin wallet in a Raspberry Pi? If "yes" is it safe? I'll only use the Raspberry to the VeriCoin Wallet while Staking (less power and I'll be able to shutdown my main computer).

Please explain this....veri interested!

I've got some reply in the IRC and yes, it's possible and because it's linux it's safe/secure as it can be because are less virus for linux. They also said that the android wallet it's also an option... so will wait because if the android wallet works ok I can buy a cheap android smartphone just to have my wallet staking....

The raspberry Pi is cheaper than a cheap smartphone but I would have to buy accessories for it and certainly would become more expensive than a smartphone ready to go.

How would a smart phone be cheaper than the Raspberry Pi? All you need to access to your Pi an Ethernet cable, connect to your ADSL router and then ssh to the small box. Even cheaper a BeagleBone Black, same ARM core and I prefer it over Raspberry PI, but the two are kind of same.

Anyway, I got into this vericoin 1 week ago and since I have been thinking to build a wallet for the ARM boards like Raspberry PI and BeagleBone Black. Now I am checking their source code and will try put together and compile something with gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi. I think using Raspberry PI/BeagleBone Black would really the perfect solution for staking. I am getting tired that the wallet needs to run all day in order to stake - the  small 5.5V ARM boards that could run all day would be the perfect candidates to perform the staking task. Of course there won't be fancy user interface with fading out icons just command line, but that's should be OK. There are always trade of between performance/robustness and convenience with software applications. Once I have time I will try to get done the ARM wallet.

hello,

the process of staking is not only for creating interest but also for running and securing the network

but nevertheless there was one feature called VeriBank planned. i think thats something like a online wallet where you can stake your coins, i think exactly the feature you want (no open wallet running 24 h).

also a raspberry pi cost around 30+, a smartphone 50+.

Yes, I assumed that it must do some networking :-)) but as I said I am checking the source code to figure out whether it is feasible to implement it on an ARM board.

About the cost, please, we are talking about wallet for alt coin, so £30.00 is really the cost here? I spent today to try get my head around the P&D shit £400.00 worth time :-)) not to mention that people are investing many BTCs, to have a secure and dedicated £30.00 small box shouldn't be an issue for any VRC holder.
I am not sure about the VeriBank. It's matter of preference, and personally I would prefer to keep my coins next to my router in a secure ARM box that makes an encrypted network backup every day than left my coins with a third party service provider. But that's just my preference. My wife left me (fortunately actually), so at least I could hug my ARM board wallet if I keep the coins in that :-)))

sure i agree, a dedicated device like a raspberry pi would be ideal for for the wallet
it was just from the perspective of non-tech people and for a easier access to vericoin staking without using a pc.
a smartphone would be a way easier solution for them i think (especially if a majority of people living in an industry nation already have a smartphone).

Yes, you are absolutely right, the smart phone could be good for wallet and I can't deny that this is the logical choice for most of people. Not for me, because   a) I always lost it   b) if I manage not to loose it then when I travel exotic places like North-London 2-3 guys beat the crap out of me and take my smart phone. So I would prefer to keep my wallet next to my router in an ARM board with 2-step authentication and daily  encrypted backup to a network drive - just in case if I loose the smart phone.

I have posted to the VeriCoin website (http://www.vericoin.info/community.html) our intention and special donation addresses that will go to fund incedental PR activity. Joel Bosch, a VeriCoin investor, has sponsored Bristol PR to provide us with public relations. The devs are in communication with the PR team and the donation was with no strings attached. Bristol PR has agreed to accept 12.5% of the payment directly in VeriCoin (which is awesome!). Anyway, we think this project will pay dividends and our cost is significantly lower than that of other coins PR activities. We are raising funds for incidental expenses related to PR including the creation of a media kit, funding events (including one at the NYC Bitcoin Center), and the like.

Please help us with this initiative. We are looking at around 8 BTC in donations per month to cover this cost. Progress can be measured by checking the BTC and VRC block chains using the addresses: BTC: 1FQtDWQYKStc1r8zhnutfgseWVubsHvzWg and VRC: VDW8YSZCBh7Gwv65GqrhYjgCftCtq83TUW.

For transparency purposes, we will be uploading all invoices and receipts related to this task so the community can see that it was utilized properly and in the interest of VeriCoin.

I am expecting some money to come shortly and would like the price to stay steady or even go down a little. But i am afraid when I get the cash to buy bitcoins then vrc it will be too late.
If I had the bitcoins now, i wouldn't think twice. But you are more reasonable than I am.

You buy faster than I can write. You are like me ;-)

I just grabbed 23,000 VRC, but I'm still tempted to buy more lol. Might be a good idea to sell a few thousand LTC for VRC.

Even though I agree with you, I also believe there is a lot of incentive from people to pump the shit out of it, just like last time around.... Max Keiser, Hardware manufacturers, etc... This crowd is driven by hype and speculation.

I had the exact same thoughts before LTC's last rally, then missed out huge..

[Crindon]

Let's go with 250,000 satoshis by late July 2014.

Then 1,000,000 satoshis by September 2014.

Sound good?

Joel Bosch (wizfarm) previously agreed to fund our PR activities however many are skeptical about his intentions. Because of this, we would like to raise the money to cover the PR costs and incidentals from the community instead.

I have posted to the VeriCoin website (http://www.vericoin.info/community.html) this intention and special donation addresses that will go to fund this activity.

Ignore the "skeptics".  They're just going to find something else to whine about.  Guaranteed. It's what they do rather than being productive.

Seriously, they won't go away after this, they'll just be louder.

So. the whales are keeping the price at .0003 to allow more people to buy in while it's still low.  Good strategy to prepare for lift off.  Going to buy more...

[Crindon]

The new wallet is being released on June 28, 2014. This Saturday. This is amazing. It incorporates VeriBit and VeriSend. Much more in store in the coming weeks. Grab cheap Vericoin when you can.

Google Hangout live now. 

Great to see all Devs live and this nice guy "Joel" who seems to be really involved in the spreading of vericoin. This guy is announcing that he is going to take charge of PR Bristol for developping the knowledge of the coin in Hispanic countries beside the US.
 Only a bit more than 110 people are watching this video right now. It's an historical moment for Vericoin! Still going on. Watch it now guys!

If this media attention is legit then this will mimic bitcoin as people search for VRC and see the price rocketing up that everyone else will be buying in. I heard you will be able to buy VRC through the wallet eventually. Sounds like a plan. I can just buy and hold and spread the good news.
