[ANN] [VNL] Vanillacoin Beta Pre-Release

[waterboy]

I'll attempt one more go today

Another reset?

maybe...

Dafuq. This is annoying.
Who can garantee dev will not reset blockchain after few days?

Well he did say its a beta release. I guess he should have said testnet until it works then its realnet. I'm just going to assume we are in testnet.

I agree, there could have been better testing done prior to release

If you make a new build, maybe you also change the tooltip for the tray icon
I was quite confused myself when I've seen "Libcoin" there.

It's because the dev change the wallets.
Wait few minutes.

Just a few minutes on the linux build to complete.

Let me explain a few of the details:

1. There was no code problem.
2. There was an unforeseen super-computer problem that drove the hash rate too high for average users.
3. This has caused me to invent a new Proof-of-Work algorithm that uses a difficulty range to make a fair distribution to no single miner.
4. If you do not get blocks try to use use a slower computer (the difficulty should guide you on what to use).

Thanks for your support.

Thank you for your support.

Thanks Dev.

Can you give me instructions on how to proceed with resetting the mac wallet when you have a chance?  Thank you.

So, blockchain will be new or not? Should I delete wallet.dat? I'm totally confused.

[redsnow]

when the new wallet links will available?
are you going to reset the blockchain

[john-connor]

To reset the Mac OS X block chain:

In Finder "Go to" ~/Library/Application Support and remove the Vanillacoin folder.

I am uploading new builds now. Please delete your old blockchain to prevent a crash.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your support.

Ok thanks.

For whatever reason that folder doesn't exist on my computer even though I already ran the old Vanillacoin client.

Since that folder isn't there I should just try running the new one and hope for the best I guess?

Awesome!

what might cause these errors:

[ERROR] - process_block: Stack failed to process block, check block failed, what = number of bits above maximum work.
[ERROR] - set_best_chain: Block set best chain inner failed.
[ERROR] - accept_block: Block, accept block failed, add_to_block_index failed.
[ERROR] - process_block: Stack failed to process block, accept block failed.
[ERROR] - operator(): Mining manager failed to process block, not accepted.

6th reset?
This is ridiculous.

[john-connor]

The algorithm is working. Fair coin distribution with no mining pool. No need to worry about super computer's or bot nets.

If you see an error like "hankrules" points out you need to use a slower computer because you are generating too difficult of work for the consensus to accept.

Thanks for your support.

Ok thanks.

For whatever reason that folder doesn't exist on my computer even though I already ran the old Vanillacoin client.

  both win and lin use hidden folders. i imagine mac does too? un-hide those bad boys

[Shadow_Runner]

Early block count was much slower, now it's faster and I'm getting no coins...
Before I got coins on every reset.
I'm not using super power, just i5-3470.

I dunno what is fair...

New Mac client crashes on opening for me.

Ok thanks.

Thank you I will check that.

Ok, I fired up a bag of doritos.  Let's see what happens.
