So, its there already a consensum about which is going to be the most used exchange (volume wise) for VRC? What are your favorites?

Please consider one with advanced trading options such as stop loss / buy stop.

Thx,

Eth.

wait what does Charlie Lee have to do with the situation? I missed tht part...link anyone?

He had been very vocal on reddit regarding the rollback - http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/2apsj7/litecoin_developers_will_never_fork_litecoin_to/

Also Patrick directly responding on the reddit - http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/2apsj7/litecoin_developers_will_never_fork_litecoin_to/ciy0wlp

Him and Charlie are related/family, so Patrick mentions and gives thanks to him, as they had offline conversations as well.

I don't see why people are getting so antsy about Charlie Lee on this thread... those discussions on reddit seem very well thought out and balanced.
both sides make very good arguments.

Charles lee said he wouldn't do that with litecoin and he would be right.

Litecoin wouldn't do what vericoin did simply because the effect of losing 30% of the coin supply has far less ramifications in the PoW world than it does in the PoS world.
furthermore rolling back such a large coin as Litecoin would cause far more damage than rolling back a tiny coin like Vericoin.

all in all the least destructive action was taken given the circumstances of this particular hacking incident.

Is it possible to stake the coin and have the wallet encrypted yet?

This is just in case I download a file that's a RAT/virus.

It is indeed possible, but the wallet will have to be unlocked first. Right now, the "Unlock Wallet..." menu item unlocks the wallet completely. If you want to unlock the wallet for staking only, you can do it via the console using:

walletpassphrase yourpassword 9999999 true

"9999999" is the number of seconds to keep the wallet unlocked and "true" tells it to unlock for minting/staking only.

hope your listening to it.. they explained pretty much a lot of what I have been saying this past couple of days. (even the big difference between 51% PoW and 51% PoS attacks)

the only thing I don't agree with is that people had a choice to accept the rollback or not......

yes sure they could NOT update their wallets.. but if they did that then they would not be able to send coins to any of the exchanges or use any of the vericoin services so it really wasn't much of a choice.

everything else they said I pretty much agree with.



that what they explained was exactly what i told you l0l


and btw everyone can decide to not update their wallets, there were alot of community takeovers with new devs already if there was really a will to do it.
but there is no reason to do so.


/edit

also for you guys who want to know more about Proof of Work and Proof of Stake: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_Stake

well then if they said what I said and what you said then that must mean we agree. lol

and sure there could be a community based mutiny but as I said it wouldn't get very far when mintpal and the other exchanges are using the coin daemon supplied by the dev team.

doesn't matter how many people disagree with the rollback, they are forced to update their wallet when they realize they have nowhere to trade their coins...

I'm not saying that to be cruel to those people who didn't want the rollback, just telling it like it is.

it reminds me of the "choice" people had when TV switched from Analog to Digital... "sure you can keep your old analog tv you dont need to update to a new digital one... oh and one other thing.. we are going to turning off the analog signal.. but you can still enjoy watching all that free to air static on your screen" lol

Please don't attack Charlie Lee (coblee). He owns VeriCoin and is family. His criticism is justified.

Well Patrick Charlie Lee can be your god but he is VERY wrong this time around. And by being wrong in "his opinion" he is perpetuating not just the biggest flaw in cryptos but defending that the ostracism from the real world will continue. He lives, by his choosing and his opinions, in the bubble of the underworld or nerds who code, watch massive porn amounts, masturbate frequently and are high or doped most of the time. Yes I know a lot in the crypto community adhere to this short of lifestyle and it won't be me criticizing it -or any other lifestyle chosen by adults-, but the fact of the matter is that in that bubble no people from the outside has either a place nor a minimal interest in joining. It's the people that in the name of some form of self-laws and self-government (all of it BULLSHIT, by the way), not only justify thievery and fraud but promote it and even brag about it. It used to be stealing intellectual property and now it has escalated to stealing plain old fashioned money. And that has to stop, by a minimal progression through some semblance of ethics or, most likely, by real law. And regulation.

Meanwhile he dares to call you selfish because you refused to immolate yourself and your partners, forever, while allowing a thief to profit maybe in the millions of dollars at the expense of investors. That's some peculiar sense of "humor" right there. Why not asking directly for you and your partners to commit suicide because you have made a decision that, HOPEFULLY, will forever change crypto and convert it into something with a real practical use for an economy many times bigger than the nerdy coders now crippling it. Where is Litecoin, by the way, going? All the way to Palookaville, I'd say. Where's VRC? We don't know. But if Mr Boricuaman and his Black Hand don't put it out of business -and it is up to you to not allow that to happen, to a certain extent at least-, it is breaking off, or could be breaking off the pack towards a sensible, close to the real people mainstream assimilation.

So sorry but Mr. Charlie Lee is, to me, one asshole more perpetuating crime in crypto and hindering his progress. Yes, you acted selfishly in the way that it was preserving the coin you created that some asshole had marked for death because of the amazing negligence of MintPal. But you decision also saved the hard earned money of over 600 investors/traders. A whole community that believes in you and your partners and avoided another terrible blow to the perception of digital currencies by the mainstream. You didn't have much choice beyond self-immolation but what that selfish decision has and will accomplish, is nothin g short of remarkable.

Let's just say that from now on, just like it did when you gay put your real names out there, there's a before and after in crypto. Hopefully this will separate the assholes and criminal from the progressive ones that will take crypto currencies forward to reach the goals that the technology allows and NOT the political agendas of pathetic rejects and assorted criminals.


I agree with everything you said for the first time ever...

Well said.
Same here.  100% agree too.  1st time ever.  Smiley
Good writing, and that sums up my feelings too Smiley
I find this charlie disrespectful towards pnosker. In the name of an ideology he has about cryptocurrency he condemns any moves where common sense applied in that peculiar situation.

Dev hang out is live

http://youtu.be/1PkqNcVD0YI




I highly suggest anyone who has questions about how or why everything went down, watch the video hangout and hear from the developers directly, they explained, they took questions, and I have to say seeing and hearing them talk directly about this situation, about Mintpal, about Charlie Lee (Litecoin creator), and of course about exchanges and Proof of Stake and Proof of Work in general, it was well done.
