Someone clued me into Monocle and I was going to load up but when I tried to download the wallet Norton antivirus said it was infected and sent it to quarantine. I would like to buy some monocle but is there a clean wallet available? I'm not interested in "false positive" explanations. Is there a wallet that does not trip my antivirus?
If you're really that paranoid why not just run it in a VM? No stupid virus false positives in linux, and then you have it confined to virtual machine anyway.
Like MOST people I know very little about vm or linux. Altcoins started with techies but a lot of us late arrivers are not interested in mechanics. If a wallet is hot on Norton antivirus most people, including virtually all new folks, will not use it. You can call me paranoid or whatever you want. As long as your wallet trips Norton, people will not buy it.
Paper wallet someone else suggested might be a good idea. A lot of good coins with working wallets. I bought a small amount of monocle at an exchange and will look at the wallet options.
If you downloaded the release directly from the developer's github account, then what you're saying is that you think the vertcoin developers are intentionally passing you a virus. Why would you buy a coin that you think the devs are trying to give you a virus with?
Virtualbox is free software that's quite easy to use. If you can use a wallet, you can load a vm. You don't even need to load a linux vm, you could just as easily run it in a windows vm.
If you only bought a few coins (which are probably worth less than a dollar or ten), it's probably not a big deal to just hold them on the exchange, also. That would be the easiest course of action, certainly, and it's not like it's a huge risk you're taking.
I'm not sure that many understand (other than us) how fast the block rewards are going down for this coin though and that it's going to be very rare in the future. It's not a BTC clone in regards to distribution at all.
