Vanillacoin is not a clone of Bitcoin or Peercoin, it was engineered from the ground up and is designed to be innovative and forward-thinking. It prevents eavesdropping and censorship and has security in mind. It also promotes decentralized and energy efficient network transactions at sub second speeds.
. Scroll down for additional information.
: An approach to decentralized autonomous zero confirmation cryptographic-currency transactions. |
: The node incentives system donates a portion of the miners coinbase reward to peers that are helping to maintain the network. |
: Enables the network to scale better than single tiered coins like Bitcoin. |
: Coin++ is a high performance C++11 cryptographic currency library that is not a clone of the original Satoshi codebase. You can build new currencies or upgrade existing ones with the help of it. |
: Miner++ is a high performance C++11 cryptographic currency mining library. It supports most current game consoles, PC OSs, mobile OSs, also the RPi and Arduino micro-controller. |
: Vanillacoin uses random ports on startup and all TCP network connections are secured using the Elliptic Curve Cryptography Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security. |
- Locked after launch since the official discussion moved to the vanillacoin.net forums
: Every 50000 blocks with "subsidy -= subsidy / 6" | Next drop is @ 250k with rewards of 52 VNL
