[ANN] [VNL] Vanillacoin Beta Pre-Release

[john-connor]

I've updated the launch date. I will be pushing out test binaries in the next several hours. If testing goes ok the release date stands if I have to continue fine tuning it may be pushed back until after the weekend.

Thank you for your support.

Ok, I've made test network binaries for Windows 32, Windows 64, Mac OS X and Linux 64. You MUST delete any previous Vanillacoin directories.

Testing Details:

The block generation time has been sped up for testing by a factor of almost 3. The only problem I could see arise is blocks start being generated too quickly as more peers join the network because my test network is very small this remains unseen because the complexity of the algorithm is too much to simulate at this point. Either way I have a solution to the problem should it arise. Let's test.

You can download the binaries here:

No desire for help from linux folks?

When not test network will launch already?

[Rols]

It looks good on my economic processor 64 bit. I just mined a block. I have 5 connections.  On the other hand on my I7 the program crashes when started. No writing to the roaming folder.


Now I have 3 block mined.

[hankrules]

What's the difference between Blocks Total and Blocks Estimated?  I've been showing 37 blocks estimated for at least 20 minutes.

Edit: it moved

[Rols]

Its running very stable here. A very annoying thing is that its broadcasting incomming transaction several times. It should just be one time.
All blocks still shows immature. 6 block mined.

My linux box is extremely slow but compiling now. I will update the original post when it's ready.

Thank you for your support.

If you are connected to 8 peers the log will print 8 transaction broadcasts. The wording is misleading.

Coinbase mature's after 200 blocks they are spendable. Proof-of-Stake starts after ~12 hours worth of blocks.

Thank you for your support.

aLSO is this the inly way to mine this coin?

running all sweet here

[john-connor]

Block generation time is holding around 30-45 seconds which is to be expected. I'd like to see more peers join to make sure there aren't scalability problems with the block difficulty algorithm. I'm running non-state-of-the-art computers and getting the expected number of blocks across each of them.

I will get some rest and run statistics tomorrow. I think the 19th will need to be pushed back until after the weekend so we have time to do more testing and get into the Proof-of-Stake phase and stress the solo-fairness algorithm more performing adjustments if needed. Confidence is strong.

Thank you for your support.

This coin must be renamed to Dev'sRestCoin.
