Updated the ANN, I hope that this will help finding information easier.

And that doesn't include what john-connor was talking about for this week?

I have a feeling that I am going to wake up one day and find crazy growth here...

He prefers no hype around his projects so I left that out. Updating as soon as I can.

Info just gone out form John: https://twitter.com/john_a_connor/status/593014728751849472

New Ann looks very fresh and professionel, Great work!

For anyone whos missed it, here is the link to the official timeline of John: https://talk.vanillacoin.net/topic/118/4-month-timeline/2

This shows the 4 month development plan (not listing his new project which he hinted at a few days ago).

CoinPP (Coin++) Project has been finalised and the project source files are pushed to GitHub. To read more about the project please read the OP and https://talk.vanillacoin.net/topic/120/coinpp-coin-project/2.

If you are a developer and need help in understanding/using the project please contact john-connor on #Vanillacoin @ freenode.

That is true and theoretically if everyone is staking on mobiles, that will be a lot of competition for gpus or FPGAs, but those mobile stakers will need to first either mine or buy their VNL. Could be good, real good, if marketing is handled correctly.

While the FPGA advantage is mainly power consumption I picked the whirlpool hash function because it runs about 10-50 times faster on hardware than other hash functions. That said, the move to FPGA's will be a huge leap forward in terms of hash output vs GPU devices.

Thank you for your support.
That violates the most basic requirement (in my opinion) for every coin. That is, to be mineable by everyone with a computer.
But I don't expect from you to understand this  Cheesy
You proved before, that you are a great developer but you don't  think too much of the morals of your creations.
FPGA support is an energy efficient evolutionary step forward. I myself cannot mine Vanillacoin because GPU's are too costly to operate currently. Cool

Thank you for your support.
Hm, hm this means that you don't see future value growth of VNL which actually could come true because of FPGA's and fact that nowdays besides P&D mostly price of electricity is what determines price of the coin, but as I said...

This coin is different.  It's not a clone like the coins you're talking about.  It's superior to bitcoin/peercoin/blackcoin in many ways already.  It can be compiled on any platform, and I don't think it will be too long until we have staking mobile wallets downloadable from the apple and android app stores.

UDP layer is scheduled for Q3 and zero confirmation transactions are scheduled for Q4.

FPGA is not energy efficient when every body uses FPGA, the difficulty will go up compared to using GPU. The total hash rate will increase and so does the energy use. The total energy cost will be the same order of the value of daily coin generated.

The GPU miner will be forced out due to GPU's high energy cost.

I think there will be big FPGA demand for VNL at this stage due to its low market cap.

Yes, so only early FPGA adopters will benefit from low power consumption. But its OK cause john said that everyone will get their minig period... but then if we are looking further ahead regarding efficiency then last part of the 'mining' time should go to Hi PoS with some kind of anty abuse feature for biggest wallets and lowering percentage curve which will end with fixed 0.7 percentage. But hey VNL is john's baby so he'll decide.
The line between CPU and FPGA going to be blurred soon, new Intel architecture has software lookup tables - the basis of FPGA.

So that will make a full circle Grin
