Please stop spamming multiple threads.  Thank you

That's what you just did.
I see my contribution is not appreciated so I'll leave.

I know, but that's because you pasted the same thing on both threads.  You don't have to leave.  I was just asking you to leave your arguments all on one thread.

how to build the wallet on linux without compiling boost, db and openssl?
if I already have those libs in the system, why build them again?
(boost is pretty slow to compile, took more that 10 hours on my nas)
VNL doesn't use shared libraries for security reasons (they can be replaced or infected). You must static link all dependencies. Here is a one shot script that you can fire and walk away from: https://github.com/xCoreDev/vanillacoin-scripts Cool

Thank you for your support.

Sorry sir but this doesn't make sense. Following your reasons, I should statically link every library into every wallet or application that can deal with sensitive data, including browsers, terminals, etc. I will end up with tens of occurrencies of every library.
Furthermore, you are recompiling only three libraries, not all of them. You are gonna use libc, aren't you? Can't it be infected as well?
Finally, recompiling is different than statically linking. I can have the static libraries without recompiling, and they are checksum checked when installed.
Cryptographic currencies should not use shared cryptographic libraries, period. libc is not a cryptographic library however boost does contain cryptographic functions that are used. The Bitcoin developers experienced a fork because they allowed the use of shared cryptographic libraries which were replaced during a system upgrade. Ultimately this was caused by gmaxwell's signature bug but brought to light by the upgraded library causing the network to fork. This same bug is what caused the Bitcoin network to recently split into two parts due to a faulty upgrade losing people 100's of thousands of dollars. Ultimately the system security is up to you, so I will leave it at that. Cool

Thank you for your support.

My points are still valid.
And db is not a cryptographic library :-)
And taking about security... You'll need to release a new wallet every time there is a cert on any of those static libraries and find a way to force everyone to upgrade. And for Linux force rebuild of the libraries. It's a nightmare!

See here for reason:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/users-of-bitcoin-core-on-linux-must-not-upgrade-to-the-latest-version-of-openssl-919373

Also, bitcoin core is still forced to make everyone update once in a while.  See April 8, 2014: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-core-bitcoin-qt-091-released-update-required-562400

It would be nice to have incentives on the android wallet.
Android is a "client node" so it doesn't help the network by routing and relaying data. Cool

Thank you for your support.

while we're there, would it be possible to implement "unlock for staking only" in the windows gui? 10k just sittin' there ...  Roll Eyes

What do i need to do wallet has been open for more than a week and hasn't staked yet .My balance is 1831.
{
    "walletaddress": Votj1RXPrF3UP5yRCimBPXqs5g8xQ7BwJa,
    "collateralrequired": 9999,
    "collateralbalance": 0,
    "networkstatus": firewalled,
    "votecandidate": false,
    "votescore": -27212
}
Thank you for any help

The wallet will stake, just  give it some time. if you want to fix the firewall issue, in the roaming/vanillacoin folder open config.dat. in there will be a port listed, forward that in your router for both tcp and udp  Wink
I followed the instruction, but still "firewalled". In config.dat "tcp":{"port":"36584" which i forwarded.
Edit: after few minutes
{
    "walletaddress": xxx,
    "collateralrequired": 9999,
    "collateralbalance": 0,
    "networkstatus": open,
    "votecandidate": false,
    "votescore": 23633
}

Might need to check for open ports, mate.
It is necessary to prescribe more ip computer in a local network.

Would someone be able to point me to an explanation of what the node inventive system is ?
Thanks  Smiley

Nevermind, found it.
