8 Million Vericoin Hack Prompts Hard Fork to Recover Funds - CoinDesk

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-protected-vericoin-stolen-mintpal-wallet-breach/

Seems like an ok article. It is a action of which you can discuss about, but the main point is that there weren't to many transactions between the hack and fork. That's the reason why they decided to roll back. I find it a very good decision.

[neurorit]

I wish I could understand this view point because that's the most suspect thing about VeriCoin, "decentralization". Even if you ignore the rollback everything about VRC seems centralized.

Every Veri feature is centralized requiring you to trust the developers to use which means that there's a central point of failure. Even the VRC network that's secured by PoS isn't very decentralized considering 30% of the total supply was in one wallet. You know how insecure that makes a network. That's way worse than Ghash.Io having more than 50% of bitcoin's hashrate.

What's really weird and I personally find suspect is the overuse/misuse of the word decentralization by the VRC devs. It's like they're overcompensating because they know what their doing, the shortcuts they took, is anything but decentralized.

I would have no problem with their approach to what they're trying to offer if they didn't do it under the guise of a decentralized currency. They should be incorporated and ran as a business like Paypal or Coinbase. But as long they continue to pretend to be something they're not I'm going to consider this entire project a scam. And everyone defending it while ignoring the fact that their closed source, centralized services are not trustless and have central points of failure is only doing so out of their own greed or fear of losing money.

There's a reason why services employed in the manner this team chose to employ should be done so as a business and be insured.

By the way, I have no affiliation with BC. I have no desire to own any PoS coin as it's obviously a flawed approach , not a good way to secure a network, which actually is something most of the VRC supporters are completely ignoring but it has been highlighted by this ordeal with Mintpal. VRC's network is not trustworthy to store value on. Simple as that. It's a vulnerable network that after this ordeal, pissing off long time crypto enthusiast with this rollback bs, I'd be very weary of some people intentionally harming vrc's network. Which would in my opinion be the free market reaction to devs overstepping their boundaries.

No wonder so many BC people come here to act like Assholes.

They can't do it on there own thread because they CENSOR there own community. (wonder why)

I love the fact BC people come here claiming centralized this, centralized that. THERE OWN FORUM IS CENTRALIZED. Idiots.

I rather this forum be moderated like the other ones. Too much arguing in this thread.

Everyone has a right to free speach. And intelligent people can decide why they say what they do.

The whole champion of the decentralized thing is a gimmick for BC. I don't even think half the people know what it means. There forum sure isn't promoting decentralization. It centers all the power in a few moderators hands with WHO KNOWS what agenda. All the pump in the world won't get that shit currency moving again.

Yes, we can see how far has vericoin separated itself from the "crypto enthusiast" and how close its coming to the public in general.

Lol this coin is a joke

"The paypal of crypto"

[Gambiman]

This is the second time I downloaded and installed v1.3.3, Itdoes not sync and shows up as v1.3.2.0-g32a928e in the About Vericoin tab.
Both times I deleted the entire contents of Vericoin appdata except .dat file. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to add to Console?

Same thing here (v1.3.2.0-g32a928e) and not syncing

[neurorit]

If the public in general wanted the functionality of vrc don't you think they'd just use paypal?

Paypal is established and trusted whereas these devs are just some guys in whoknowswhatcountry. Yeah the general public is really going to trust that.

You don't get what crypto offers. IF you take a decentralized currency and try to dress it up with a bunch of closed source centralized services it defeats the purpose. So again why wouldn't they just use Paypal instead of the paypal of the alts?

You need to uninstall the Wallet AND delet from appdata/roaming/Vericoin folder .

Secure your wallet.dat!!!

I don't condone any names because we are vericoin.

But paypal requires a bank account no? Perhaps that is why

[neurorit]

Actually Veri is rolling out a wallet that you can load directly with fiat (cough centralized service cough). Sounds just like paypal if you ask me.

Your post history says it all.  

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

On that note, you sir earned the honor of being on my ignore list. next !

[Alns]

Staking like a champ, stable prices, sorry Fudders, but we are here to stay.

[pb2014]

Why are the fudsters still even here? This coin is already dead in their eyes so why continue to bash the coin? Oh that's right because they want the price to drop so they can buy in low...

[BadAss.Sx]

You know whats funny...all those days and many many many pages in this topic there were fudders keep talking this coin down. And what happened...it raised. How empty they must feel right now hahaha.

What a community...i have never seen a community like this and i'm gonna buy more of VRC...now i know for sure it has a dev team who are willing to FIGHT for their community and not hang their heads because of all the fud.

Keep up the work. Gonna throw some in the verifund after i dumped some other shitcoins of which came and fud here.

[ofp]

Problem is, cryptoland is a place where criminals and hackers reign. The public likes less regulation, self-servicing and freedom to move their money, but hates unsolved crimes. Cryptoland has to decide whether "free market" means criminality or freedom. If we were to take seriously the underlined threats of your statement below, I guess we already know the answer, don't we?

I just bought more, wallet is doing its thing, happy day !  

[neurorit]

You know what's funny? Price doesn't mean squat right now. No actual adoption of VRC has caused the price to rise. It's only profit seekers speculating on the functionality vrc is trying to offer. But as I pointed out vrc is dressed up with closed source centralized services which anyone with any sense would avoid like a plague.
