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

[criptix]

That's what I did, I uninstalled the wallet, did the backup, deleted the folder, ran the installer, installer said "This will install Vericoin version 1.3.3 on to your computer. I installed it, then waited ages and then it just sits here with no connections and then when I look at wallet info, it says version 1.3.2

Not sure what it going on..I might just take a break from this, just incase I am having a brain fart. lol

just go to the vericoin website: www.vericoin.info and redownload the windows installer! the new one 1.3.3 is pretty much identical in size to the old 1.3.2 and they both have the same name.


/edit

@crashing prices look at the buy orders again.

I could add a few zeros to the assorted buy walls I see popping up on the exchanges.

I kinda wonder what that would do. You think if I stuck a 1k BTC buy wall up there, anyone would dump into it?

Ok the wallet is working now and is the correct version. Syncing now too.

Thanks for the help people.

A question on stakes though.

I had a stake, before the new wallet came out with the rollback and it is now showing up with a ? next to it in my wallet. I assume that is correct as obviously that stake was on a different fork, so to speak.

Just wondered if this transaction will be here for ever more now, well unless I have a different wallet open etc.

I would love nothing more than for the free market to destroy obvious garbage. Problem is there are so many idiots trading who only see dollar signs that gimmicky scams like this are just accepted as the norm

wow 2:1 for sells on bittrex.

See what happens when you ROLLBACK a blockchain.

MASSIVE FAIL!

WTV, Who's going to ever take payment in vericoin after yesterday. Not one major retailer ever will. The nails are in the coffin.

have the questions been answered

a) will this happen again next time a theft occures?
b) what is the threshold-amount?
c) also for private wallets or exchange-wallets only?

furthermore:

did Mintpal ever provide any proof?
If yes: what proof?
If no: wtf?

you just took their word for it and forked the chain. Without any proof. Really? Did you just do that?

[leckey]

maybe someone should ask psnoker why he was transfering 200k coins to bittrex during yesterdays original outage... it was clearly stated on irc.

The SEC should be alerted to this as its more of a HYIP than a decentralized crypto currency at this point.

asked and answered


(23:36:56) (@pnosker) leckey: fyi: I was transferring the 200k VRC to help wall Bittrex so I took losses instead of others
(23:37:04) (@pnosker) feel free to ask me that yourself
(23:37:10) (@pnosker) Or ask any of the exchanges
(23:37:14) (@pnosker) because I sent over 100k to each
(23:37:15) (@pnosker) to wall
(23:37:18) (tf2honeybadger) I'll back that up
(23:37:19) (+leckey) I wasn't the one who asked the question initially
(23:37:33) (+leckey) they mentioned IRC, so I relayed it here for info
(23:37:36) (tf2honeybadger) We actually froze pnosker's account when we saw it just in case, and then he explained and we unfroze.
(23:37:39) (@pnosker) even if not-- it was to preserve the coin
(23:37:58) (@pnosker) so that's the answer

Well I'm surprised some of those questions haven't already been answered mainly the one about did mintpal ever provide any proof?  I didn't have any VRC but I was looking into it for a while so I'm very interested to see what outcome this rollback/hack will have on the coin and other things.  Sorry for those that got burned.

[jerrylemon]

thanks for the response and proof of dev manipulation, def SEC gonna be interested in this cya

Just a question, but how long do you think they had to make descisions? They had to act fast, or things may have been to far gone, they assesed it was caught early enough and did what they did. Do you know what they where told or not told?
Whats your proof?

If no proof, WTF you spreadin FUD?
If you have proof, Show it.

If VRC is a failure, why are you still here?

Nobody got burned besides the hacker as of right now.

We need to let the cards fall where they may. Out of chaos, comes clarity.

Try installing the wallet again using the installer but choose a different folder name to where your vericoin.exe file is now, make sure you back up you wallet.dat though. After doing this, it worked for me and I am wondering that even though the installer is the new version, it is for some reason, not overwriting the vericoin.qt.exe file with the new version, so if you install it in the same folder then the exe file just remains the same, where as if you install it in a new folder, then it is actually putting the correct exe file there. Give it a try, just make sure you back up the wallet.dat file.

Wrong, the whole cryptocommunity got burned on this one. How are people supposed to take Crypto seriously from now on. You guys just rolled back the clock and BAILED out the BIG BANK. Just like the FED would do!

This coin does have some buy support but I believe its just major holders giving a last ditch effort to get out at a respectful price. We'll see how the next week or 2 goes but I predict this coin will be:

DEAD in less then 4 weeks due to the MASSIVE INCOMPETENCE from the DEV team!

If that truly was the case the devs would not have supported a rollback. I agree the cards need to fall and whatever comes of it comes of it.

But this is not the case...the devs stepped in in the exact same way a Central planner from a central bank would. your developers are not only developers they are the Ben Bernanke of VRC. lol

It isn't the dev's problem that mintpal is incompetent in their security practices.

to put forward time-pressure as a pretext is not a valid argument in the light that all exchanges were halting trades aswell as deposit/withdrawals and you would have had all the time in the world to figure stuff out. So there was no real force to action if you think about it.

Just taking the word of anybody for such a big action is quite a thing to do, man.

I am just asking questions and i don't get answers at all. Can i please get answers to my questions?
