I think I should buy more.

Are new AMD miners coming out for VNL that wolf0 is showing off ?

They seem to be double almost 3/4 more powerful than the current ones.

The AGPL license forbids derivative works to be distributed without source. We are aware.

Thank you for your support.

GPU only I would say, not worth it with CPU now. I am sure you would pay more for power, so just buy a little instead and get more.

Oh no, a GPL debate!  I'll pass..  Though since I don't think there are any others so similar to Bitcoin with that license, it'll be interesting to see what effect it has on the market.

Yeah, I see your point, but I also see the other side of the coin...or VanillaCoin in this case

I don't see an issue with it right now

Strategic Uses of AGPL

Certain business models lend themselves to the use of the AGPL.   Here are a few examples.

A company (“Developer”) is involved in dual sourcing — releasing software under an open source license while also offering to license the software under a proprietary license.  This business strategy can be appropriate in many situations.  The release of the software using an open source license for free or a greatly reduced cost allows a potential licensee to try the software with little risk.  If the licensee later desires to receive services that are not available with the open source license, such as error correction services, training, implementation services, and even operation of the software on the licensee’s behalf on the Developer’s servers, then the licensee can approach the Developer for a proprietary license.  One of the needs of the Developer is to avoid having a third party take the open source product and use it to compete with the Developer, in essence getting a free head start in developing a competing product.  Normally, the Developer can prevent this kind of competition by licensing the open source product using the GPL or LGPL.[7]  However, if the product can be effectively provided as a service, under a SAAS model, the use of the GPL or LGPL will not prevent a competitor using the open sourced software competitively against the Developer.  Use of the AGPL closes that loophole in the business model.

Expanding the example above, the AGPL should be at least considered for use with any software product in any business model that has a strategic reason for developing and supporting an open source product licensed under an open source license having copyleft features.[8]
Conclusion

As with many things in life, Sir Francis Bacon’s famous aphorism, “Knowledge is Power,” applies to the AGPL.  The presence of the AGPL will cause anxiety for attorneys who practice in this area.[9]  Nevertheless, the AGPL is a tool that, properly used, can be very useful in helping certain companies achieve their business objectives.

Beware, this coin is released under corporate-unfriendly GNU Affero General Public License I had to read, remember and then re-implement last XOR step of WhirlpoolX. Just two lines of code, not a big deal, but...

Done, thank you for pointing it out.

Need to replace https://vnl.nonce-pool.com link from OP to http://vnl.nonce-pool.com

Better chance of that happening if the nonce-pool link in the OP worked.

No roadmap atm, the developer doesn't want unnecessary hype and bubbles. We are currently beta, but you can check the news section here or IRC for daily updates. John just pushed another update to github.

You can be sure though that this project has lots of things coming in the future.

 ;)does the dev have a roadmap ?

Bwahahahaha ok!  Ya that's what I thought.  Well, I do have close to 10,000 coins that I bought, so it's not worth me blowing up my laptop to mine.  I'll just happily stake away.

i would suggest not to do that mate, with GPU miner ppl easily reach hundreds of MHS so i guess 0.75 MHS will only make your lappy tired  . But its okay if you have a strong feeling that someday VNL would reach value more than BTC  only then your laptop hardwork finally paidoff, hopely  .
the choice is yours

Does anyone suggest me mining this from within the wallet with a 2011 Macbook Pro laptop or might that damage the laptop from overheating?  Looks like I'll get around 750kh/s.

Yeah, to have many backups always a wise idea. One of my early backups has a zero balance bug/glitch/whatever, it would be very sad if I had it as the only one.

Backup wallet.dat everytime before using repairwallet.

Run 'checkwallet' to see if everything is fine.

If not, then 'repairwallet' in the console to fix gui mismatched coins.

Remember, it's only graphical error.
