Testing Update:

I've made changes to the solo mining fairness and Proof-of-Stake algorithms. The blockchain MUST start over this round of testing. You MUST delete the contents of the Vanillacoin directory or the software will throw an exception and crash. With the changes made you should not expect your first block for at least one to four hours from the start of mining. Restarting your client will slow down this initial process. Proof-of-Stake now begins after 8 hours after block maturity and has been made more energy efficient. Also, I have added greater protection from Bot Nets or people who rent hundreds or thousands of servers to try to game the system.

You can download the binaries here:

So this again is another testing mining phase thingy? We wont be able to keep any of our coins that we mine from this right? We won't be able to actually start keeping the coins we mined until the actual launch on december 23rd right? at 5am? I just wanna make sure I'm clear about this here

  This is just a test. And its just test coins. No use for them.

Wow, this is the most entertaining thread I have read in a long time, all 22 pages of non-stop comedy.

Anyway, this does look interesting and I will definitely give it a shot, heck I am even participating in the test environment as I type this. I figure even if this would turn out to be a dud, the few $ in hash I am throwing at it is far cheaper than the $40 comedy club admission.

If we have enough testers and the statistical data looks good after the weekend then yes the launch will not be pushed back any further. If a major problem is found then it will be pushed back again. I have confidence in the latest algorithm changes, however there are not many testers on the network so please throw all of your spare CPU's at this test so there is enough statistical data.

Thank you for your support.
