Vanillacoin
-Can be compiled on any platform, including Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS, newer game consoles, etc. No other cryptocurrency can do this.
-Staking mobile wallets with transferable wallet.dat
-Only other coin besides BTC to require only 1 confirmation on Poloniex.
-Unlike Bitcoin, Vanillacoin's global transaction pool is highly synchronized, which makes malicious block reorganizations nearly impossible.
-Very active dev, most talented I've seen in the altcoin space.
Hmm global tx pool seems like a centralized scheme to me.. id stay out ofthat
I know the bitcoinj wallet has an online mempool it references from blockexplorers to find unspent outputs.. is it that?
It's not centralized, it's decentralized.
The dev has answered a few questions about it in bitcointalk. You can look through his posts or go on the Vanillacoin IRC and ask questions there.
Other than the source code, the proof is that Poloniex did a code a review and decided to lower necessary confirmations to 1.
Sorry no time for that.. if its decentralized its the mempool i fail to see how u can have a global pool of anything without being something loke what the mempool already does. Back to coding for me. Cheers
It is similar to bitcoin's mempool, but highly synchronized. Here are a few quotes:
"May 07 07:24:05 <john-connor> You cannot double spend with 1 confirmation. You almost cannot with zero as it stands.
May 07 07:24:09 <Mazznilla> well next step is 0 conf lol
May 07 07:24:39 <gaagaa> you can double spend with 10 confirms if things are not setup correct
May 07 07:25:04 <john-connor> Not with VNL you can't.
May 07 07:25:15 <john-connor> You’d have to own about 99% of the network.
May 07 07:25:35 <john-connor> Even then you couldn’t do it because of the work required.

May 07 07:26:30 <john-connor> Bitcoin is easy because the mempool sucks.
May 07 07:26:40 <john-connor> It’s so not synchronized.
May 07 07:27:09 <john-connor> So you can put TxA-B on mempools A, B and C and TxA-C on mempools D, E and F
May 07 07:27:16 <john-connor> Success!
May 07 07:27:28 <john-connor> With vanilla all is known which is instant failure for attacker."
Another quote:
"The higher the global mempool synchronization the more impossible this scenario becomes. The improved global mempool in Vanillacoin is the key to better protection of transactions which will reach ~99% synchronization with the deployment of the UDP based database making zero confirmations possible at zero-risk through autonomous consensus of the global transaction pool's state. Cool
Thank you for your support."
