In this case even WHO matters. Filtering new nodes through a master node as is happening in this chain, give super power to a specific node over the society.
The idea of offline mining is brilliant, yet very hard to apply. This project did a promising job so far, but there is some concern about its security and generality. If one day, whoever has access the golden gate (the master node) decides to not accept new nodes or transactions from a specific country or IP range, he/she could simply block the incoming data and society cannot do any thing for that. Society even will not know about that because VFC miners and holder must see network through the master node's eyes.   
 

I just talked to Dev, He answered to all my questions and concerns.  So I decided to delete all of my previous posts. It is not a self moderated announcement, I myself deleted my owns because they were based on a misunderstanding. Wink

If this project is dedicating also for electronic transactions that even low-end hardware can afford to be employed, then, users adoption is still very important for this project.
The longevity of this project still depends on the users that will continue to support this kind of system as well as shops or entities that might utilize their services.
The UI for their website is pretty simple and straightforward but I do hope they will improve their aesthetic appearance also.
Low-end hardwares or not, it does not matter. The matter is how to create and maintain good transaction speeds. I don't think that such things will depends totally on quality of hardwares. It is more depends on algorithm and difficulty adjustment algorithm. So, if developers can solve it, and control difficulty increases over time (not increasing too much), crypto currencies can be moved with low fees, and fast speeds; and transactions can be confirmed with low-quality hardwares.

Can you please confirm if you have a block explorer running so that I can see more about status of the the chain?

use the command
vfc dump

this will list all transactions in the chain

there is no official block explorer UI so far.

Thanks. Any idea when an official block explorer UI will be up? It is a requirement for the better exchanges.

Sorry if this is a noobish question, but can my private key be discovered through mining? How do the private keys we uncover by mining already have VFC in them?
Yes and No
I am not a dev member, but I had the same question.
The mined keys are special. they have specific angles and the miner is programmed to find this special keys. If you create a wallet with initially no VFC in it you have a wallet that is not minable by official miner.
However one can modify miner to mine not these special rewarded keys (I did this modification just for testing) so the modified miner, mines keys but not rewarded ones. Now technically this new miner can mine a personal wallet like yours but the probability is very vey low for a specific wallet and is very low for any non-zero wallet. Yet it is possible. It depends on how many non-zero wallets are available in the chain.
So my suggestion for you and myself is to have more than one wallet (Just in case Grin)

in new update coin command is replaced with vfc (I think)

Code:
./compile.sh
rm: cannot remove 'coin': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '/usr/bin/coin': No such file or directory
./compile.sh: line 5: gcc: command not found
cp: cannot stat 'coin': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/bin/coin': No such file or directory
Compiled and Installed /usr/bin/coin and /var/log/vfc ;)

Based on what I found - coin it's a vfc
Code:
nikolay@nikolay-pc:/VFC-Core$ sudo ./coin help

To get an address balance use:
 ./vfc


To check sent transactions from an address use:
 ./vfc out


To check received transactions from an address use:
 ./vfc in


To make a transaction use:
 ./vfc

To manually trigger blockchain resync use:
 ./vfc resync

To manually trigger blockchain sync use:
 ./vfc sync

CPU mining of VFC:
 ./vfc mine

To create a new Address, Public / Private Key-Pair:
 ./vfc new

Get Public Key from Private Key:
 ./vfc getpub

To manually add a peer use:
 ./vfc addpeer

List all locally indexed peers and info:
 ./vfc peers

Dump all transactions in the blockchain:
 ./vfc dump

Dump all double spend transactions detected from other peers:
 ./vfc dumpbad

Clear all double spend transactions detected from other peers:
 ./vfc clearbad

Returns your Public Key stored in ~/.vfc/public.key for reward collections:
 ./vfc reward

Returns client version:
 ./vfc version

Returns client blocks.dat size / num transactions:
 ./vfc heigh

Returns the circulating supply:
 ./vfc circulating

Does it look like this client wont send transactions? Maybe the master server is offline and you have no saved peers, if so then scan for a peer using the following command:
 ./vfc scan

To get started running a dedicated node, execute ./vfc on a seperate screen, you will need to make atleast one transaction a month to be indexed by the network.

Code:
./compile.sh
rm: cannot remove 'coin': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '/usr/bin/coin': No such file or directory
./compile.sh: line 5: gcc: command not found
cp: cannot stat 'coin': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/bin/coin': No such file or directory
Compiled and Installed /usr/bin/coin and /var/log/vfc ;)

I have the same problem. I have no idea where to get "vfc" folder.
Code:
rm: нeвoзмoжнo yдaлить '/usr/bin/coin': Heт тaкoгo фaйлa или кaтaлoгa
rm: нeвoзмoжнo yдaлить '/usr/bin/vfc': Heт тaкoгo фaйлa или кaтaлoгa
cp: нe yдaлocь выпoлнить stat для 'vfc': Heт тaкoгo фaйлa или кaтaлoгa
chmod: нeвoзмoжнo пoлyчить дocтyп к '/usr/bin/vfc': Heт тaкoгo фaйлa или кaтaлoгa
Compiled and Installed /usr/bin/coin and /srv/.vfc or ~/.vfc

But if we check compile.sh we will found this gcc -pthread base58.c crc64.c ecc.c sha3.c main.c -lm -o coin (As suggested by DobroFenix)
It will compiled and we have this:
Code:
nikolay@nikolay-pc:~/VFC-Core$ sudo gcc -pthread base58.c crc64.c ecc.c sha3.c main.c -lm -o coin
[sudo] пapoль для nikolay:           
nikolay@nikolay-pc:~/VFC-Core$ ls
base58.c  base58.h  coin  compile.sh  COPYING.TXT  crc64.c  crc64.h  ecc.c  ecc.h  main.c  README.md  reward.h  sha3.c  sha3.h
nikolay@nikolay-pc:~/VFC-Core$ ./coin
Look's like the blocks.dat cannot be found please make sure you chmod 700 ~/vfc
Sorry you're not on the right chain. Please resync by running ./vfc resync
Directory ~vfc not created and we can't use this command chmod 700 ~/vfc or this ./vfc resync

Finally, we can write ./coin mine and it will work
Code:
6 CPU Cores detected..
Saving mined private keys to .vfc/minted.priv

Mining please wait...
x: 0.18261549 - 0.25296285 - 0.15063931 - 0.31756141
x: 0.27463304 - 0.32010312 - 0.24989971 - 0.16071096
x: 0.16566242 - 0.28275302 - 0.20119589 - 0.28974238
And... We don't have .vfc/minted.priv.
But I really don't know where I can found my wallet and where I can check my coins.

it is weird and interesting. You don't mine coins! you mine keys!  what happens if two person find singular keys?
I think we should transfer assets as soon as we find to a fresh wallet (am i right?) it's a race!

Interesting concept ...

One I have seen before, but more on the Brute Force concept than mining.

Keeping an eye on this.

After reading this, I can only say one thing that I almost can not say, I did not understand what the idea of your project, how it will be useful to the public
they as I understand you want to keep current mining on CPUs. because asiki flooded all, and work on almost all algorithms


it is true that this project is intended for miners not for the general public

There is a maximum limit of 3072 peers for the entire network.

How did you arrive at such a specific number?

VF.CASH (VFC)


VF Cash is the most efficient IoT Cryptocurrency project, at the current point in time VF Cash uses only 1.8 MB of memory and a maximum of 8 threads or 2 threads idle. A blockchain file that grows at a rate 76% less than Bitcoin.



VF.CASH running with new mining algorithm - 'finders-keepers', currently support CPU mining, you find addresses that have specific patterns in them, by also having the private key that created the address you can transfer the contents of the address to one of your addresses before anyone else.
Mining can be performed completely offline, you only need access to the web wallet minimum to transfer the balance to a private address. Mined private keys are saved in your data directory and printed to the console.

  • Free transactions
  • Fast to setup
  • Decentalised
  • Lightweight

# Please Join Official telegram group for any enquiries.


It sounds challenging project! I am sure this piece of technology is missing in the IOT community. As a application developer I would love to work and use such an asset. Wish you all the best of luck and support.
