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

[buy4crypto]

Rolling back really damages the integrity of the blockchain..

Should have switched to a new coin, and let the exchanges convert 1 for 1

Veri2coin

The integrity of the blockchain? It was to save the currency, and you can bet your ass we are going to work harder as a community to spread the coins around, more in personal wallets ect to help prevent from happening to us or anyone else in the future. The whole crypto world should be taking note and preventing this in there own respective coins before they are the target of an attack.

A lot of major currencies have gone through way worse forking issues that this.

It was, if a hacker had 30% of the coin, whats more centralized than that?

Furthermore, we have to assume his intentions are not great correct?

It was the right choice, to directly save the currency, period.


Indirectly saving a mintgox situation and another round of negative news for alts and bitcoin in the media.

Hi Everyone, fork is complete with update 1.3.3!

Go here to download the new wallet: www.vericoin.info

Backup your wallet.dat first before proceeding, it's location is listed below for your system.

Windows:
We recommend uninstalling old VeriCoin program in remove programs control panel, then deleting everything but wallet.dat in your username\appdata\roaming\VeriCoin folder and running the default installer settings.  This will load up the full block and you will be on the splash screen for 30-60 minutes while it loads the blockchain data.

Mac:
We recommend deleting any current VeriCoin application if you have one.  Also delete everything but wallet.dat from user/library/applicationsupport/vericoin. Now put these two files in that directory as well: http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/vericoin.conf http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/bootstrap.dat.
Right click on "vericoin.conf.txt" and go to Get Info, now change the extension from "vericoin.conf.txt" to "vericoin.conf".  Open up the new VeriCoin install and you will sit at the splash screen for 30-60 minutes while the whole blockchain loads up.

Linux:
We recommend deleting everything from .vericoin but wallet.dat, putting these two files in this directory as well: http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/vericoin.conf http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/bootstrap.dat

Install necessary dependencies if you haven't already.  (Debian)
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev git

You will sit at the splash screen for 30-60 minutes while the whole blockchain loads up.

VeriCoin saved crypto today, and all this trouble in the end may help grow us further than we could have ever got before.

Saved you say i can agree... you saved exchange which had broken security code...
MtGox died in because lack of knowledge and ignorance when people were reporting them
their security bugs...and fallen next much more secured exchanges were risen...

Poloniex, Bitcurex in had lost only 10% of all BTC...
Hacks on their systems were detected bankruptcy of MtGox strengthen preasure of
security systems of exchanges in end result.... It costed BTC few bilion $ market cap...
Gox moved BTC price from 800+ $ to 400$...

Whole situation give bad image for whole crypto and show how easy is make rollback...


PS: I don't get that shit about only VRC was stolen from Mintpal... where are DRK LTC BTC...
whole story is to suspecious.

Rolling back really damages the integrity of the blockchain..

Should have switched to a new coin, and let the exchanges convert 1 for 1

Veri2coin

EDIT: Probably both needed to happen in this case for Vericoin to succeed.  Roll back to before the theft, then freeze markets and exchange for new coin.

And die like Sat2 or Summercoin2?? No thanks

[7vpo]

Despite everything VRC started to protect itself...

Vericoin is not a coin that can be destroyed by 3-5 marauders who supposes themselves hackers like you, or by Mintpal who wishes to fool people.

It'll be too late for you when you realize this. Pnosker and EffecttoCause are young people who have skills. I think that they thought well enough before they leave their efforts to the marauders.

Even though they didn't think, it doesn't seem like that their genius phenomenon will suffer under your efforts.

Despite all those shit that you splatter, cordially..

Y'all are already looking death in the eyes... It would have been the best way to retain integrity of the blockchain.  It will be interesting to see if the people defending this coin will hold or dump.  Next few days will tell.

I wish everyone the best of luck involved in this coin!

If preventing bank theft was as easy as the blockchain, you think a bank that had a vault theft wouldn't use the same logic if they could? Or do you think that they should let everyone that held money in the bank be hurt?

Im just saying, if you had the ability, and the only thing that held you back was upsetting some purists? It would be irresponsible to not act.


The devs have integrity of humanity on there side over integrity of some ideal that has not worked to date.


Bitcoin needs to grow by shifting the way people think about it, until people get out of the current box and create value for the blockchain through innovation and security, bitcoin will be just another toy.

As much of a setback as this was. I got a feeling VRC about to lead efforts in this field to change the cryptos as we know it forever, I just got a feeling, you aren't dealing with some highschool drop outs. These guys have pattents in the real world. Which means 1 thing. They know how to solve problems, and create when nobody else in the entire world has.

When these guys put there mind to something, they will accomplish it. Thats what I trully believe.

What is bootstrap? mandatory to run this?

[adaseb]

Great to hear that it all turned out for the best.

Too bad exchanges in the past couldn't of done the same.

I am also surprised the value held up pretty well.

Seems like a great coin

believe it helps the speed of your blockchain getting caught up. When you download wallet its an option to use the file or not.

+1. hopefully the future doesn't have as much theft as we have had in the past in crypto. But the devs in VRC give me faith that someday the consensus will figure out an acceptable way to prevent theft using the blockchain technology. Maybe one day we can make things like mount Gox the exception, not the rule.


It just happens to be the VRC team got thrust into this action this weekend. I will be looking forward in the weeks and months to come as we work to secure and grow our network.

Even if its suspicious , of course it is  (comspiracy theory,bla,bla,bla = aliens stole vrc they store it in AREA 51 .....) OK BUT the fact is with 1.45 million EUROS = MINTPAL will go down = you will loose your btc,ltc,drk,zs,BTC ............................. then all other exchanges down (may be they has 50 % of all min in circulation , 40 % of all zs ..... (got my point ? ) = it will be like a pyramid . VRC saved CRYPTO
