Topic: [ANN] VGC - VegasCoin - page 8. (Read 74455 times)

I believe this is the way to go....
I was thinking maybe we need a lightning network so the casinos/gaming machines all have super fast transactions. This could possibly include an exchange (fiat and bitcoin or whatever).... I always imagined in the future a physical crypto exchange location along the lines of what a Vegas sportsbook looks like with the marketcaps/charts up on the wall....

I think the Ethereum idea is way too risky and will slow (or kill) adoption, from what I have heard this coin needs significant more Mining power to support a network like this into the future, I think Solar mining would alleviate the operating costs of mining.... Our network needs to find some way to get the mining happening at that level so network speeds are not hurt anytime when a major miner goes offline or takes a break.

Imagine VGC at $100 a coin... It is not far fetched!!! You see how Coinbase offers $10 to referrals/referrers for buying $100 woth BTC... Because they got in early.. Manipulate the numbers.... THIS can happen. see Litecoin still going strong.... We should not go to POS or ethereum, in my opinion.... I think a kickstarter and some PR would kick this coin to the moon, for sure....

But the developers have given their all, I mean, look at the beautiful website and the fact this coin made it to some good exchanges during its infancy (unfortunately those exchanges arent around anymore, which is why we need to keep in mind the long term costs of running this coin and making developments.... and dont put the developers down, there is A LOT of factors to think about, especially getting this coin adopted FOR REAL in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is no joke making sure a lightning network is secure and mining is up and stable and exchanges want to list the coin for free (possibly) rather than making us all pay to get it listed everytime an exchange goes down... JUST STAY POSITIVE, lets keep it going and pump it to $100 or more with the intent of a stable network and stable growing currency...

I have a website in the works that will be accepting VGC, Im sure a lot of you also plan to accept it.... Payment gateway is another hurdle to speed up adoption (but this could all be part of the VGC lightning network/exchange....

VGC mining is going well and VGC is still traded at Novaexchange.

hey if we can come up with something cool, maybe the project can be about implementing that and building a Casino in Las Vegas with the new technology, funded by investors in the token, and bringing the revolution to the industry while making profits in the casino and helping other ones to adopt using the technology.. 
Optimistic dreams I know

thanks for the reply mate(s)! I was thinking maybe the idea needs an overhaul and wanted to think about a concept more deeply but didn't have the time, so just in short, i think the coin still has potential because of the name and the idea to utilize it for the casinos in las vegas. But by just being a payment method there is no big reason for casinos to adopt it when btc etc is available, other than marketing and bonuses which is nice but can be just done with another coin.

How about doing the opposite and making the casinos NEED to adopt this coin. By bringing something new and innovative to rewrite how gambling and playing in casinos is done. Instead of the old systems and the way the different games are built, where i think one needs to trust the casino that the machines or roullette or whatever games are fair or have no tricks (they are probably regulated to make sure of that), or the way the payments are handled etc, bringing the revolution of blockchain, trustless systems and ease of payment processing etc to that industry would make a huge difference. Maybe creating a platform where algorithms of the different games are programmed, the slots give out the percentage of time required, open source to establish trust. the players will be interacting with the games and playing on the platform directly, their winnings directly paid to their chip-address on the blockchain.

I'm just rambling some ideas, but maybe you can see where I'm going with this. I have no concrete brilliant ideas (yet hehe) but maybe together if you think there is a merit to this view maybe we can come up with some cool ideas and a concept for something to be built. in that case yah migrating to ETH or something similar where all needed programming is possible.
what do you think?

There are a lot of issues with this coin. The devs are not around much and do not seem to care about vegascoin anymore to do any improvements. They are trying to swap out vgc for an eth token called Vegas, but I do not think that is going well either.

I keep a full node up and still mine occasionally. VGC is still traded at Novaexchage.

interesting, so it needs improvement. are the devs still around? it seems the community is still there no?

Yes, it can still be mined, transacted, exchanged.

The main issue (as I see it) is that the client will create transactions that a default mining setup will never incorporate into a block - rather than aborting with a "Transaction too large" error - so there is some risk of more complex transactions never confirming. This is not the only coin with the issue.

is this coin still alive? what's the current status/future plans?
I think it has potential, it was just too early back then but now vegas is adopting to the cryptocurrency scene

You should be able to send funds without needing to fully sync. You just need to be synced far enough to confirm your existing transactions - whatever it was that got your 142k into your wallet.

Thank you for the help i really appreciate it. This going to take time, lets see if i got time to sync and swap it..

No bootstrap that I know of but nodes can be found at https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/VGC/

You're probably wasting your time spamming this thread.

This is a good coin, but if I can get it, at least by following bounty, but time is not possible for that. thank so much dev.

You mean VGC, or its "replacement" VGS?

The former is still working just fine, apart from the issues with sending large transactions. The github link on the latter is 404 so I guess that may have died.

If you want to send your VGC to an exchange, do it 5000 at a time.

142k VGC is worth approximately 0.011 BTC at novaexchange.

so this coin are not dead? i still holding 142k in my wallet.

I still have a wallet with 1M VGC. Zero tx's stuck. 

This is not the main Vegascoin thread. Main thread is at https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/5175-vegascoin-vgc-information/ You will not get much response there either as Vegascoin is not very popular.

Bump for:

1. Contact from anyone who needs funds recovered.

2. Discussion about whether to start incorporating the large (stuck) transactions into mined blocks.

I wasn't asking for help, Just stating an issue with this coin. There are probably millions of vgc stuck in the chain though.

lol, well not sure how I'm supposed to help you then.

It may be possible to recover private keys, if you're still using the same HD, but given the current value of VGC I doubt it's worth it.
