Vanillacoin was engineered from the ground up and is designed to be innovative and forward-thinking. It prevents eavesdropping and censorship and has security in mind. It also promotes decentralized and energy efficient network transactions at sub second speeds.
Why is VanillaCoin different?
- Vanillacoin uses random ports at startup. This means your ISP doesn't know what you're doing just by monitoring your ports, like it can with bitcoin, peercoin or even darkcoin. All TCP network connections are secured using the Elliptic Curve Cryptography Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security. So all your ISP sees is normal SSL traffic.
- O(1) routing - allows for maximum scalability as the network gains. https://books.google.com/books?id=Do5ww79p3wwC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=%22O%281%29+routing%22&source=bl&ot
- Energy efficient - ideal to stake in the background of mobile devices. [An r9 270x for example should use around 100W while hashing at 90MH/s]
Additional features will follow as development continues - meanwhile please take a look at the whitepaper down below.

FAQ:Does the miner work well with both GCN and VLIW cards?Current miner produces a lower hashrate on VLIW cards and a higher on GCN cards. There will be different miners released in the future probably.
A user reported a hashrate of 20 MH/s on a 6970 and 30 MH/s on an 5970.
My miner produces a far lower hashrate than the other miners?Change your driver version and delete your .bin files and start your miner again. Catalyst 14.9 seems to work well for most users.
