[ANN] [VNL] Vanillacoin Beta Pre-Release

Interesting project, but I feel you are being disingenuous about how "from scratch" this is. I have read a lot of cryptocurrency source code and this is clearly heavily based on not only Bitcoin but the structure of the code is essentially identical.

Edit: The client crashed when I put "test", "test", "test" in the alert fields and submitted it.

The error that is stopping the mac client from working:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error: number of bits above maximum work
Abort trap: 6

The other issue I am having is that even though I ran the old client successfully I do not have a ~/Library/Application Support/Vanillacoin folder (checked hidden as well) so I am unsure if I have the old blockchain stored anywhere.

All help is appreciated

Are we stuck at block 15? Somebody hit the reset button. Blow on the cartridge.

Lol that's a good one made me chuckle, the good old days of blowing on the cartridge to get it to work Cheesy

We seem to be stuck at block 15. I changed the topic to "Pre-Release". I'm putting back up the launch information on the website and post dating it. After I get some rest I will resolve any remaining issues with the rushed algorithm.

Thank you for your support.

This is After over one year in the making?

I'm down with prerelease status

I'm looking for an old computer that still works. I think I have some old dual cores in the basement at work... but.. thats too far away.

Maybe we should be using the 32bit windows version instead?

John, I think you should forget about the low power cpu thing. It looks like its broken and by now most people have Core I5 or I7. I don't mind all this testing either.

Don't stress about people rushing the testing, this an interesting project and is more than just marketing. Keep up the good work JC.

Okie.

So we are going to try again later then?
Sounds good to me.
I will be here to test again when it is time.

Either I do this or we all wait for pooled mining which requires me to implement RPC. RPC is trivial but will take some weeks to implement, especially with the holidays.

I'll sleep on it.

Thank you for your support.

I like this projekt. He needs to protect it from botnet and people that want to take all coins. Im waiting, No problems here.

no prob here either, i was running my desktop (64 bit 3-core/8-gig) cought 1 blk, plus a 32 bit single core/2-gig machine grabbed 1 blk also on the 2nd reset. the lappie only managed about 100 khps tho

@ john, hell ya lets do this Grin

(take what time u need and do it right)

So it is launched now or ?

Ok, everything is ready for download, again. Make sure you delete the old blockchain.

This should be an interesting experiment.

Thanks for your support.

Quite an interesting experiment already, so interesting it crashes now that you updated it....

my wallet has the same problems.
Win7 64

I found the bug and it is trivial. I'm very tired so I'm trying to decide to do it now or get some rest. This algorithm works. Please halt mining for now and I'll make a decision.

Thank you for your support.

I will update after I get some rest. Cool

Thank you for your support.
