I'm for changing it completely, it will erase the old coin fully and be easier to find a new name.
Why not start a new coin with a clean block chain then ?
That's honestly the best idea... For those that have been wondering, we will not be listing this coin because of inconsistencies found in the code base. I want to make this very clear, this is not sfrdevs doing... this was before he came on board. To clarify, we contracted a trusted dev, Earlz, to help look at the code base and these are some of our findings.
VXX looks to be purposefully malicious coin, most likely designed to scam users for a quick buck.
The source code has been changed sometime recently to cover some of the tracks of the exploit contained within it. Thus, this is why if you compile the coin from source today, it won't sync with the binary wallets. On the github, you'll notice the code was created on August 7th. however, the code was released on the 6th. Pools/Exchanges that downloaded this code on day 1 probably have different code from the code that is currently uploaded.
The exact exploit is similar to MagicCoin. Basically, when miners mine a new block, there is no rule enforcing that they are mining the correct amount of coins. They can mine however many coins they wish.
Along with this exploit, there were some malicious changes which attempted to hide this exploit. Basically, it'd show every block mined as only having mined 100 coins, along with every transaction. This caused some block explorers to show incorrect data, along with the RPC interface.
- result.push_back(Pair("mint", ValueFromAmount(blockindex->nMint)));
+ result.push_back(Pair("mint", 100));
- out.push_back(Pair("value", ValueFromAmount(txout.nValue)));
+ out.push_back(Pair("value", 100));
I've spoken to SFR dev who assures me he is fixing these problems, but due to the way the coin was launched and the lack of trust I personally have with the state of the blockchain, I highly doubt we will be listing the coin.
