Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 456. (Read 1356146 times)

This was posted on twitter if people are having MAC wallet issues.

"Attn Mac Users. *File name change (vericoin.conf) MAY be related to Safari Web Browser. #VeriCoin #VRC"

There were 4 retailers accepting vrc directly at the time.  All 4 were contacted and had not done any transactions.  Since mp said it was reimbursing all losses stemming from the block chain reversal they would be/were reimbursed.

People who had transactions moving through the blockchain at the time of the attack from exchanges and lost coin were to be reimbursed by mintpal.

Had this been at a time where the coin was more mature the losses from the reversal could have amounted to a lot more and that would have factored into the situation.  As it stood about 4,000.00 in vrc was reversed compared to 2 million worth of vrc had nothing been done.  It was actually very fortunate it happened when it did as VRC will be a lot stronger now with the users of it employing better habits like staking in their wallets instead of keeping coins on an exchange.  Also the exchanges will all, I am sure, be more careful about keeping irresponsible amounts of coins in hot wallets.  

We can't pretend there are people that were not hurt by this ( happens every day and you can thank the thief and a lapse in judgement by mp ).  Those staking those 12 hours will lose their value without reimbursement ( I assume ) from mp.  A drop in the bucket of losses compared to had nothing been done.  ( and yes those staked coins would have been worthless as well had nothing been done, so a wash there )

VRC itself didn't have any security breach it was bad habits of the exchange and pos owners.  As you can see both are changing quite impressively and atm VRC is actually the most secure pos coin out due to the very attack.

The desktop wallet.

Touché    could use a facelift

I just wasn't sure how to import them back once they were created -

"Spend your VeriCoins by downloading one of the popular VeriCoin p2p clients and importing your private key "

Not sure what this popular p2p client is...

Thanks

Our paper wallet design could use a refresh :-p

Does anyone know a tool / app  to create VeriCoin paper wallet as well as restore from the paper back to the desktop wallet.

Thanks

I deleted my post because I realized that the crypto community is actually okay with what the devs did. The bagholders of other coins are just a loud minority.

For western civilization and within the business environment, "civilized" has a lot to do with 2 of the 10 commandments: Don't steal and don't lie.

New people coming to this forum make observations and investment choices based on reasonable questions and answers. BC and other communities here to discuss the vericoin issue by moving the technology discussion forward here are MORE THAN WELCOME and your constructive criticism is valued.

You see, Vericoin people are united with our developers and a lot of us feel that this is taking a stand for what a more common sense application to crypto could, and maybe should be.

You don't have to agree with what is done. But please. Come here and offer something to further the discussion of how this can benefit crypto as a whole, rather than attempting to brand VeriCoin as a fake currency somehow because it violated a made up "satoshi's law" for the first time to do what was JUSTIFIED and RIGHT in the name of civilized society.

Sit relaxed and watch the success of Vericoin, the only crypto that proved with real actions that it hates scammers and criminals like no other coin has ever before

This page is a bit better:

#1 and #6 are MintPal. It looks like #1 is the cold wallet, where the coins should have been all along, at #6 is the hot wallet. The total has been shrinking, tho not nearly as fast as I thought it would. Some people don't seem all that concerned about the security breach.

you should see their hangout instead of staying here saying bullshit

There's no substance to it. If the dev team rollbacks again, it would only be because they have to.

Like last time.

well, ad hominem does always work when you can't say anything against the post itself
VRC may actually survive this, but claims like that quoted one are just hilarious, and you know that yourself.

If everyone hasn't noticed BC keeps going down this past week.

The more it goes down, the more they come here to FUD. The more the VRC / BC investors drop BC and move to VRC. Its rather amusing. You'd expect everyone here to realize BC is better coin by now! (joking)

Looking at BC charts, THAT looks bad. A couple big sells and that is a long way down.

Let's be more civilize. Let them run their mouth. They contribute nothing to the crypto community.

Oh hey look everybody, another blackcoin signature fucktard.

and that only if "no future rollbacks" is a lie

So true! The safest coin on earth if you hold 30% of the coins available.
