i can put some hashingpower on the blockchain.
is there a future here for VGS?
ive allready mined 30k in the past. but never looked at them again.
how much hashingpower is needed to clear the mempool?

To recover stuck transactions you need to be able to make the client (and eventually, the network) forget about the transaction, so you're able to use those coins again.
I've done some experimenting, and it looks like starting the sending client with the -salvagewallet commandline option will recover funds of transactions which have not been picked up by miners. I had a couple of stuck 5000 VGC transactions myself, and doing this released the funds back to my balance. It works because the salvage will only mark funds as spent if they're referenced in the blockchain; any transactions stuck in the temporary mempool are not part of the blockchain, and so the funds associated with those transactions will be available in your wallet.
The salvage operation will back up your wallet, but I strongly recommend you back up the wallet.dat file before starting the client. Just in case.
---
Okay, it doesn't work so perfectly. The client has subsequently picked up the stuck transactions again, possibly from another node repopulating the mempool. My balance has disappeared again and now the oversized transaction is back in the mempool.
It may be possible to try to send out a new transaction (using the recovered funds) before the stale/stuck ones are picked up again, but the network may see that as a double spend.Also I looked at the source and it seems transactions are hard limited to a maximum of 100k as a form of DoS protection. I don't know why the client is creating transactions larger than 100k, but that's the way it is. There's probably no way to push the stuck transactions through because they exceed the 100k size limit. The only way for the network to accept them would be to raise the limits in the source code. That means everyone has to upgrade the client; a hard fork.
I managed to mine a long chain of blocks at 28MH/s, clearing the mempool entirely, and was hoping the cumulative work was sufficient to keep it the best chain... but no. For some reason the network (ie other clients) are rejecting the blocks with larger transactions, so I effectively mined on my own fork until my client resolved that. I haven't done anything shifty or unusual that should result in peers rejecting the blocks; all I did was start with -blockmaxsize=300000. Here's where my client realised the network didn't want my 74 blocks.

The issue is most likely that the client is generating transactions that are larger than the default a miner will incorporate into a block. Miners with default settings will ignore them. That's why they get stuck.
To recover stuck transactions you need to be able to make the client (and eventually, the network) forget about the transaction, so you're able to use those coins again.
Or you need to find a miner that is willing to make config changes to accept those larger transactions. If difficulty drops a little (it's currently 3.x) then I may have a go.
The mempool currently has 210 outstanding transactions, and it's been at this level for at least a few days, probably much longer...
edit: Difficulty has dropped so I'm now trying with larger block sizes. I have bumped it up to 300k and so far it has pushed through 10 mempool transactions. I will periodically increase the block size to try to clear more transactions.
edit 2: #$&#@, all my blocks were orphaned. This is exactly what happened with Fastcoin, which has the same issue with oversized transactions that miners ignore by default. The network seems to reject the larger blocks. Sigh.

Here's the part of the source code that determines the reward:
int64 nSubsidy = 30 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 1777666 blocks, which will occur approximately every (little less than) 2 years
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 1777666); // VegasCoin: 1.7m blocks in a little less than 2 years
Basically it starts at 30 and halves every 1777666 blocks.
That means we're only about 34500 blocks away from the second halving point (reward 15 VGC -> 7.5 VGC)
There does not appear to be any cap on total supply, but there isn't a minimum reward either. After enough time the reward halving will result in a value equivalent to "dust" which will not be credited to the block winner.

Thank you for the clarification.
I am telling new people to get on Nova Exchange for February.
thanks for a response bud, i guess ill have to wait and hope if somebody can help with a solution.
Hi, ive got 16156 coins stuck on unconfirmed in my wallet. The mining pool threshold was set at 4500 but for some reason the coins were split into 2 payments instead of max 4500. Is there someone that can help me out? it would be very much appreciated.
That is a big issue with this coin. I have had a few 100k vgc stuck in the blockchain over the years. If you try to send a transaction with too many small inputs then it will get stuck.
If the mining reward has halved to 7.5 per block then you should send no more than 2500 in a transaction after they are mined.
Unfortunately, I have no solution to get them back but other users here might.
My guess is there is more than 100 million coins. Most of these old coins are coded so that mining rewards do not stop after the max supply is reached.
We definitely need an expert to look at the source code to see if that is the case.
I have heard of that happening with other coins and they just updated the client to ignore any coins mined after max supply was reached...
There IS a market for crypto in Las Vegas. I just saw a Satoshi1 Bitcoin ATM at a regular neighborhood gas station here. Crypto is about to get big.

There is a GOA coin and Goa is pretty much the Vegas of India. I wonder if VegasCoin could be updated to be a masternode project which seems to be a more attractive investment vehicle for potential adopters.
Wallet needs the stuck coin issue fixed, so we can send more than 5k at a time without worrying they will get stuck.
Im going ahead with a cryptochat block explorer. So excited, what a difference that will make!
also going to see what our wallet needs to be up-to-date and look at minor things like the hover text on the bottom left status icons. (anything else we should look at, post here)

If a block explorer gets set up, I will see what I can do to keep VGC listed on the new Nova. The community will need to trade and keep some volume going to keep it listed though.
I got the coind to compile, Needed some fixing on the latest ubuntu....
In rpcrawtransaction.cpp
Then needed to rebuild leveldb with
make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
Anyway, Coind is compiled.
In rpcrawtransaction.cpp
Code:
if (pk.IsPayToScriptHash())
{
CTxDestination address;
if (ExtractDestination(pk, address))
{
// const CScriptID& hash = boost::get(address);
const CScriptID& hash = boost::get(address);
CScript redeemScript;
if (pwalletMain->GetCScript(hash, redeemScript))
entry.push_back(Pair("redeemScript", HexStr(redeemScript.begin(), redeemScript.end())));
}
Then needed to rebuild leveldb with
make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
Anyway, Coind is compiled.
I pay $75 per year for the Bunnycoin block explorer at thecryptochat.net.
those block explorers look nice. they also can upgrade old wallets to current litecoin features.
besides that, a mining pool would be nice, and this coin will be ready for real world promotion.
Thecryptochat.net can provide a range of services. Prices are reasonable.

Are you aware of any existing block explorer for Vegas Coin?
Also, was there an update at some point to extend the money supply past 100 million?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I deleted my previous post about ethereum swapping (i realize if it ever happens we need to make sure its right first).
No current VGC block explorer. we determined mining is going normally and NOT set to go over max supply.
I think our main problem is block explorers etc. cost serious money (if we are paying someone), it just needs to be a basic one (that will stay up). also, we need a litecoin expert to see about upgrading the litecoin features at some point... We need to see what happens once trading gets going again, I want to promote locally but these loose ends are too much with the original dev not available and most of the supply in their hands (or others hands). So if this ever gets too complicated for everyone, I will organize an Ethereum token or a token on another platform that VGC holders can recieve and the new token supply and participants and roadmap will be well defined. VGC works perfectly fine and I hope it goes on as long as bitcoin. For anyone that doesnt live in Las Vegas, I understand this is all frustrating, this will be a slow process of people getting into bitcoin (like I said bitcoin is getting some attention here) and feeling comfortable enough to get into alts like Vegascoin. I just dont like when people want to jump ship early or try to mislead/FUD the board, or spam twitter with our coin name, etc... It isnt fair to people trying to get involved or people already involved.

No block explorer for vegascoin.
a great idea i heard on youtube.... asic chips in the slot machines
also if we can successfully pump this coin to be profitable for pools, like bitcoin is doing, we can better promote mining... also, if we can get merged miners involved it will boost incoming investors.
i can do a local promotional campaign with printed flyers/postcards/or business cards... somebody gave me their "business card" the other day and it was a poker chip that had stickers on both sides with his contact info... If we can get people focused on investing (and a long term plan) by the time our exchange is back online, we could see significant results.

Is this currency still developing?
Any official chat as a discord or telegram?
Where can I find the Roadmap?

Nothing has happened with vegascoin for a long time.
im waiting to see whats happening.... I know the devs were considering swapping this to ethereum blockchain, but we were still trading the scrypt VGC on Novaexchange. I have been hesitant about switching to Ethereum (heaven forbid there is a serious security issue down the line, as there have already been several successful multimillion dollar hacks on ethereum), its obviously very expensive to maintain a scrypt coin like this, especially to bring it to the level that it can be locally accepted. Of course, i'll say it again, if we can establish solar mining and nodes at some point that will alleviate some long term cost burden... I have been throwing tons of ideas out here but they most of them automatically require money and arent completely necessary in the near future... i think our best bet is to hold tight, see what the devs have in mind, being a local cryptocurrency has a lot of obstacles and very complex issues involved before mass adoption can occur.
Vegas IS starting to accept bitcoin here and there and on promoted on bilboards.
i put these on imgbb and resized them kind of small (better for space here).
my video of the D sign didnt turn out good so they are just stills here. i will go back for a better video clip of the D sign soon.
