i can't see a reason to complain either, mined at the beginning w/my desktop and a single core lappy running vista. now only the desktop and only one GPU as the older one is useless on this algo. amazingly, i am still in there mining at diff 10,000+ with the GPUfarmers, still bringing home enough to make it worth it. i've been mining alt coins for16 months, and that has never happened before.

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
No, he's not naive.
I am naive  Cheesy
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.
Were you here from the beginning?
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.
Man, it was fair in the beginning, but now the top guys do one thousand times more VNL/Day than the average user.
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  Smiley


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.

What's the highest hashrate for 280x with private kernel at this time?İf it's effective possible to buy ))... i have 25 280x for gpu mining.

I'm currently running 501MH/s, it's 280x @ 1140MHz.

If you can run higher clock, just multiply the hashrate.. It is directly proportional, because this algo uses no memory. Memclock can be set to lowest you can, hashrate is not affected.

  • Single transaction in the next update
  • Zero confirmation (sub-second) transaction afterwards, where the amount of coins is spendable again under 1 second (300ms)
  • iOS beta is completed, battery usage is too low to measure soon, soon out for download



This project is definetly better than other 99.99% of copy-past generic BTC clones.



Exactly.

My miner is doing about 450 Mh/s at 1175/1025 MHz on 14.12.
But I didn't test it with 15.3 drivers yet, which are supposed to give a good boost, probably it'll reach 500.
where can i find this kernels? Ar they for sale? ))

John, you might want to consider bringing on a couple more devs to share/expand your vision.  It's a harsh trend in crypto to have a nice innovation with just a single point of failure.  It may bring more confidence to serious investers.

This has been discussed several times on IRC, he doesn't intend to hype the project and he has several years of finished projects/features ready to implement in a p2p currency like vanillacoin. I doubt he intends to share these with others and it doesn't seem like he is need of any form of help.

Also while you call this a single point of failure I'm pretty sure he would consider a team of devs a "several point of failure" situation. So far his work speaks for himself and the pace he is working at is really good.

Fair enough.  He certainly has delivered what has been promised up to this point.

Yep, and the real instant transactions will be mindblowing compared to what instantX offers on DRK (in terms of speed and security) if everything goes well and planned.
