With good universal library doing a daemon (or wallet) with support for 100+ coins in singe executable would be week-or-so project. Vanillacoin is not here yet, as I understand, current code is limited to only one coin at time, no way to specify multiple protocols Sad
Code:
/**
 * Get the sha256 (genesis) hash.
 */
static sha256 get_hash_genesis();

Today I am pleased to announce the Coin++ project.

What is Coin++?

It is a high performance C++11 cryptographic currency library that is not a clone of the original Satoshi codebase. It is 100% backwards compatible with Peercoin or any derived cryptographic currency.

What can I do with it?

You can build new cryptographic currencies or upgrade existing cryptographic currencies such as Peercoin or Blackcoin to a modern codebase.

What does this mean for Vanillacoin?

It will move away from the old Satoshi protocol altogether over a year long transition to a new modern, efficient and standardized communications protocol.

Thank you for your support.

Just a question(s) that I am not sure has an obvious answer - Why would Peercoin or Blackcoin use VNL code to upgrade?  And what impact would that have for VNL? 

Assuming this could happen that would provide a major status and value boost to VNL. I can't imagine PPC or BLK would do that no matter how great VNL is or becomes, but if they did it would be admitting that VNL is superior and the best code to base their coins on. That would have a huge boost to marketcap. (in my opinion)

what an excellent roadmap, I already made money on Vanilla, selling however nada, 0 zip  Cool thanks for all the work done on this

Honeybadger asked this over on talk.vanillacoin.net:

What is involved in switching an existing coin, such as Peercoin, over to Coin++? | John: It would require my assistance until it is documented on what variables to change.
Will the current non-Coin++ blockchain still be compatible with the Coin++ code? | Yes
Will switching to Coin++ require the coin to do a hard fork? | No

None effect to vnl and just faster modern codeBASE upgrade the bitcoin protocol is a mess and satoshi had no good knowledge to how networking works.  Some thing like that.

PSA: Block rewards drop again at 100k blocks (a bit more than 10k to go). Block rewards after 10k are 88 vanillacoins.

at block 100K , 10K more from now you meant?

Fix'd, I'm tired, thank you for pointing it out Cheesy

could we please have the wallet version built into the wallet and also on the wallet download page and this op   otherwise I cannot tell if I need to update my wallet or not 

Right click on VNL in tray - About.

of course thank's

I still have some old ztex boards, quad boards, maybe those fpgas can be used too?
You need specialized bitstream. There are some bright FPGA developers in Blakecoin thread, also eldentyrell did an excellent implementation of Bitcoin miner.

The hash on a board would be around 50MH/s with minimal watt usage, so it would mean that you save heavily on the electricity costs.
XC6SLX9 has 1430 slices with 4 LUT6 on each. Sure it can fit at least one fully unrolled core, expect ~200 MH/s.

That's nice to know, sadly I'm not really into FPGA developments, but this is what I read on IRC.

200 MH/s would be a LOT Cheesy

FPGA mining... any details available? Which language, board type will it support?

John is working now with the Spartan VI, the Mojo v3 board has it (https://embeddedmicro.com/products/mojo-v3.html) together with an Arduino compatible bootloader.

Hello - I have never FPGA mined before.  Will there be specific instructions on how to do this?  I have only GPU and ASIC mined.  Is it anything like that?  Please advise. -pokeytex

No instructions, there are some papers on the web talking about the whirlpool algo and potential fpga developments. You need to wait or code it for yourself.

Meanwhile you can jump on IRC and throw in some questions.
