Btw, does anyone know who this mystery angel investor is? Would be great to know. There's obviously a big difference between having an angel investor that's your mom versus having an angel investor that's Marc Andreesen. And if you don't know who that is, google it.
I don't know who the angel investor is. I did hear he spends most of the time on his yacht, so I doubt it is his mother. But you can try and ask John if you are that curious.I don't know. I'd say that Sarah-Connor is, in fact, an angel. She, through self sacrifice, protects her son from the terminator so he can grow up and lead an army against Skynet. She keeps him alive so we as a human race can endure against the machines. Not sure what you'd call that dedication and determination, but I'd argue to say it is angelic.
She has pre-marital sex with future dwellers, smokes cigarettes, harbors lust for machines, and sows discord among her bretheren. Damn near demonic.
hahahaha well I guess that is pretty demonic

WoW Net Hashrateis double shit goodbye solo mining 
697,764.93 MH/s

Net hashrate is based on difficulty, which fluctuates considerably every block. The current difficulty is 30,055.29573128
I think the total hashrate is still under 200 GH/s

John gave some clarification on the timetable for the zero confirmation transactions on IRC. They require the UDP layer. UDP layer is scheduled for Q3. Zero confirm transactions are scheduled for Q4 2015.
Fix'd, he told me that the UDP layer is needed first to prevent double spends, but thought it's scheduled for earlier. (Seeing the speed of John's coding I'm pretty sure we will see it earlier though)
Also it's worth mentioning that the single transaction confirmation that is scheduled for sooner will be blazing fast anyway.

If any of you coders that made custom miners that get 500MH/s on widows 280x cards, pm me. I am a trusted member of the community, started the VNL IRC channel, and would offer a % of my VNL mining without need to worry about leaks. I mine with 8 280x cards. I believe in the coin and plan on holding them. Thanks.
Naive you guy I am naive
Spend days and weeks on test chains knowing that I'll lose my coins. The premise was strong: Everyone with the same chance, fair distribution etc...
Guess what? The first thing dropped was the fair distribution. John said it was difficult to do, had more important things to do.
There was no such thing as test chains, there were forks because the client was in an alpha phase and was labeled an experimental client.
I managed to fork 2-3x while solo mining for 2 months, all I had to do is to follow the forum closely and play with backups and do full syncs. The distribution is fair compared to 99% of the coins ever launched.
Edit: You can't just start mining with an experimental client and leave your client on for days/weeks, do nothing and expect to get rich. According to what you wrote you did exactly that, because how else would you have not noticed that you are on a fork.
There were test chains, that they were exactly that. You participate, but your earned coins don't count.
I participate knowing that. I solo mine some thousand coins and they are lost. I don't complain. I knew that.
What I did not knew is that the "fair distribution" thing was the first feature to be dropped.
How was the fair distribution dropped when at one point 150+ peers were solo mining with an avarage of 2 home desktops? And that lasted atleast 1 month from the 2 months I've been mining.
I know lots of people who mined the same amount of coins or more than I did. I mined 15k in 1.5-2 months solo mining on mostly 1 x6 and sometimes turned on another dualcore to help out. Some people mined with 3 CPUs and did that for a longer time than I did.
For me, this seems pretty fair.
That's what I mean.
And don't tell me that they spend more than the average user to rend their rings.
The whole story of fairness is to spread the hash to more people, than to a few with rented Gigahashes. That was the premise of VNL when I first met her
As far as I remember John stated over at vanillacoin.net that every level/size of user will have it's own mining phase. The small (avarage) user had the solo mining phase, now the bigger investors with gpu farms have their own and if everything goes well we will see asics in the future for corporations / huge investors.
This is as fair as it gets imho, you can't expect your coin to have a value without bigger investors, most small time miners only seek a fast profit and will sell at the first 2-3x opportunity. From an economic perspective, this seems like a really good distribution model.
You really need to check how most coins are distributed nowadays: someone launched an X11, fpga farms and a few miners rape it, it pumps and dies in 2 weeks. Complaining here about the fairness and distribution is pretty pointless imho.
The only thing that I don't think is fair is how you've mentioned that small miners have a smaller phase of mining compared to larger miners. And the fact that small miners were also just a part of the initial solo mining phase. You guys could have made those 2 months to 1 year for a better definition of fairness.
However, what you're saying is, 'if you heard about us in the first two month, great, otherwise good luck'.
And your last definition of how ASICs would eventually hit the coin in the future is also incorrect as it differs from coin to coin, the coding and technologies.

I am not crazy about it either, but that wolf0 guy released some updated improved miner, and didn't have to. Key point is the marketcap is super low and price is super cheap. I can just mine something else and buy VNL if I want, although I mining VNL as well just for fun. Monrero and Darkcoin and others had better miners earlier, as some people had the skill to figure that crap out, annoying as can't personally modify some code or whatever they are doing, but at least I can figure out this coin is valuable faster than most others, and buy it cheap now.
