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

[EtherCoin]

Bittrex, cryptsy and polo is already open for trading. No need to MintPal for dump. Over 50% coin in stake. http://vrcstake.ticonerd.com/

Exactly. Retard FUD without any base is what make my ignore list grow larger every day. If you are going to FUD, do it on style.

Eth.

Q: What other options did the VRC Devs have?  NONE! (it was kill or be killed)

You do not let someone steal 8 mill coins and let them get away with it !
 (all of you who says it was bad to roll back the blockchain are simply supporting the thieves who took the coins from mintpal).

Q: Who is to blame for this?
A: Mintpal and only mintpal, they are the ones that let themselves open to the  hack. NOT  vericoin. Also Mintpal are the only ones who have been as quiet as a mouse over all of this, it was their big mistake, nothing else.
NOTE: When mintpal allows withdrawls, you will see many peopel withdrawing to the new VRC Wallets for staking, not dumping, Vericoin holders are much wiser than your average alt coin bag holder.

Q: Why was Vericoin targeted?
A: Because it is the best coin to arrive in this crypto world since BTC !

So all you saying the coin is dead, you are full of BS, trying to spread as much fear as possible, to pick up the cheap coins yourself.

I do not currently own VRC. But checking the price on bittrex now, 30k region, i am more than happy to buy at 30k and lower. Because the Devs of this coin have proven they  have good intentions and they managed to make crypto history in being the first Devs to roll back a block-chain, thus destroying the stolen coins.

I would STRONGLY advise, anyone holding coins, NOT to sell them at these prices (its suicide) Correct me if i am wrong in a week or so, but i predict in a week to ten days VRC will be holding firm at 40k or more.


Also all these fudders here are most likely Blackcoin bag holders, now if you want to see a dead coin, check that  out!

Long Live Vericoin! Hail to the Kings! (Devs)

Everyone is talking about how it can't be trusted, and how this clearly demonstates how insecure proof of share blockchains are.

Then, by that measure, 'everyone' is a misinformed idiot. The Bitcoin blockchain has been rolled back in its early history, too, but people didn't start screaming about teh injustice of it all and that it couldn't be trusted and, as has been pointed out numerous times, VRC is still a decentralised currency, if the majority of wallet holders didn't agree to the rollback then Pat and Mintpal would have found themselves sitting alone on their own little fork.

How does this issue relate to a PoS weakness?

BTW, VRC has value-added services which, at this time, are centralised, it doesn't mean to say that people don't value them or find them extremely useful. This rabid hysteria against VeriBit or VeriSend is absurd considering the naysayers are more than happy to use centralised point-of-sale webs services for transactions involving bitcoin.

This newb doesn't even know the difference between a hard-fork for technical reasons (flaw in core code allowing unintended block to be created), and a blockchain rollback for external reasons (bailing out an exchange).

The proof of share weakness is that VRC would have been an easy 51% target if the rollback fork had not been pushed.  That can't happen with a proof of share coin.  To 51% attack BTC or LTC, you need to invest in real hardware beyond reasonable means.  To 51% attack a proof of share (aka, proof of nothing) coin like VRC, you simply need steal a wallet.dat.  Therefore, VRC is reliant on internal security, for security - a deeply flawed concept.  Proof of share coins are secure external to the blockchain.

A: Because it is the best coin to arrive in this crypto world since BTC !)

No... durp... no...

MintPal clearly stated that BTC and LTC were targeted first, but proper cold storage procedures prevented the withdrawal.  VRC was taken because it was the highest marketcap coin on MintPal that the theives could exploit.

(If there even was an exploit against MintPal - I don't believe that, honestly. If there was really a SQL injection attack against MintPal, then the whole database was compromised, yet MintPal clains that's not true. So which is it?  MintPal lie, MintPal scam, or MintPal epic fraud?)

Then if Mintpal is "scam" or "epic fraud" like you say, why did they target VRC?

I really think they were staking it.

For all trolls: Recent events could not kill these coin.

A few ignorant to do this job? LOL!

my 2 cents too, Mintpal was staking it for extra profit... amateur exchange destroyed something good, again!

So what I understand from FUD is that no other coin would attempt a recovery for their investors, and no other dev would attempt to save their coin in the case of a hostile takeover.

Man! I feel much better about the other coins now! Let me just dump millions into some other coin since they do it right and leave you hanging.

[btminer8]

This "blockchain integrity" and "decentralisation" has almost turned into a bad religious belief which has no place in cryptography science.

Most of you here offer nothing constructive to the discussion. Including vericoin bagholders.

You are against the hardfork? Don't upgrade your wallet, this is what "decentralisation" about.

You don't like vericoin? Don't buy it, as simple as that. Vote with your money. "decentralisation"

If we don't find a solution to today problem, it will happen again to any PoS coins out there.

Q: Who is to blame for this?
A: Mintpal and only mintpal, ...
...

POS system is secure as they holders are.
Community decided that is more secure to keep 1/3 of all coins on mintpal.
Hacked -> rollback - yup that was most secure place for sure.
If someone will steal coin from your local PC who will care ? - Answer no one.

Sumary Vericoin:
-sufer from 1/3 coins deposited in one place (VRC community fault )
-sufer from Mintpal security bug  ( Mintpal fault )
-best place to store Vericoin is place where is many Vericoins today Mintpal ( later Veribank )

PS:I don't want kill any coin there is many others POS waiting to pump AIR<>Cloack<>Super<>Voot<>XC<>Min<>NAV....
and much more VRC don't change much here once it will go up once it will go down...
Problem is rollback - many informations can be manipulated people can not know what deals were done behind scenes.
MtGox six months was palying good exchange and collapsed at end crypto is great tool because so far it is neutral.
Rollbacks is not neutral behavior.

Hi,
does anybody know when the mining pool is back?

Easy to check:

one of mintpal adreses ( not stacking ):

And not stacking adress compare that to many other staking adres like:

What is it with blackcoin people and this thread? Each time I see someone troll vrc, they have a blackcoin sig.

Where do all you dummies come from? blackcoin is dead.

Anyways, it's the investors that lost money that usually find the passion to troll another thread related to their competitor.

Successful investors don't troll.

I have 20+ diffrent crypto...from BTC, Doge, ANC ,BC, PPC, NEM....Bitshares like many people here,
rollback hurted all crypto not just one coin.

If not VRC it will be next coin like XC Clokac Cinni Voot.... INSERT name here another hype coin.

The reason i write here is simple all crypto was damaged...
and all POS coins mostly suffers by that rollback
Mainly it was Mintpal problem but full responsibility is not on Mintpal side
1/3 of all coins were deposited in one place - that is orgin of problem.

Give me 3 good reasons why all crypto was damaged.

WTF you guy are suggesting Rolling back the blockchain??

That is the single stupidest idea ever suggested on BTCtalk and that is saying something!

If mistakes were made and coins were stolen then deal with it and move on,even talking about trying to wind the clock back destroys any faith in the integrity of the devs and by extension the community members who support such an action.
Where does this OCD mentality lead to?
If there is a hostile but legal takeover of VERI would you condone the same action?
How about if someone deliberately instigates large scale bot dumping and drives the price down %10000 casing huge panic?

When the survival of the coin and protection of the investors is placed in front of basic responsibility and accountability then you lose something that can not be regained by the mere passage of time......

Guys, my outside view of what happens with vericoin.
Hit the reset button after a accident will never bring fresh money into this market.
If i would be a veriholder i would be happy with the rollback.

So within the next days you will shift your community cash around and you will see a
steady decline until nothing. If there are good features inside this coin, devs will create a new one
and follow their shedule and their skills with a new project
I don' t know if devs are know persons or still anon.
If they are anon i would not hold only one veri whatever features it would have insinde.
On the other hand if they didn't rollback maybe mintpal has done and we had a new mtgox.
So devs have decided for crypto with their rollback and not for veri.
