an anon dev is rather pointless.

Yeah, because Satoshi is also pointless lol. We all know his story Wink

John did say when the time is right and the coin is mature he will dox himself, and that he is a P2P and Crypto veteran of over 20 years. So I hope that helps Pablo.
This is a rumor. Besides it's too risky without regulation in place for crypto-currency developers, pools, etc. I have to support my family and I am working in a gray area. I am the biggest risk taker amongst all VNL investors @ 200K USD invested so far in it's development so there is no room for additional risk. Additionally I see this as no more than a publicity stunt. Not a single coin that DOX'd itself has made a positive difference. For Dash I feel it's making things worse for Evan and the coin as a whole. Cool

Thank you for your support.

i don't think anyone disagrees with this position.
DOX'n a dev ... an anon dev is rather pointless.
also as mentioned the State awaits with fanged teeth.
(crime coding code that they can't decode)

but keeping an active anon avatar is another thing.
just be safe about method of access.

I strongly advice anyone to check my previous posts with the Peercoin chart.
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/peercoin/
Nov 11
Peercoin price 166k, marketcap 14,1 million
Nov 18 (~We are here)
Peercoin price 171k, marketcap 23,6 million(thanks to the Bitcoin pump, the same scenario!)
And then the big pump started.

Compare Peercoin's marketcap and price growth dynamic with VNL's price and marketcap. VNL is following exactly the same scenario. Let's see what's going to happen in the next week or two

Hey John,
  Since I have you here, I have 2 quick questions:

1. Do you have a plan as to how you will add more devs and stuff to your team and in what time line? I understand you are doing the whole thing solo? That can't be easy to sustain.

2. Do you have a plan for financing further development? I'm not sure how it's currently done, is it donations? I think finding a way for developement to finance itself is really what will make or break a coin project long term.

Thanks for your time and for creating this awesome community.

Pablo.
1. This project is easy to sustain and will only get easier as it quickly matures. Back in the days of Gnutella we all managed our projects solo and Gnutella is much more complex than blockchain technology. Bearshare had 1 employee and then came edonkey with Jed and his business guy but later with overnet they hired one of my friends to assist. So, small or solo teams outpace large teams because decision making remains frictionless. I'm not sure why these cryptos have large teams because ETH burned through 9 Million USD and now they are trying to re-code it in C++ while asking for more $$$. I think largely people are mislead because of the lack of actual real developers in the crypto-currency space make them think it requires a team. Peercoin is still developed by one person after all of these years and doing fine but only because it has a real programmer. Steve Jobs didn't need a team to build a computer, that came later. Cool

2. This project doesn't need further financing. When I started the project I injected 200K of my own fiat into it as a round of Angel funding. Additionally, we have an MBA that contributes to the project weekly and an attorney on retainer. Lastly and only in case of emergency we have reserved 10% of the coinbase reward via incentive rewards for development purposes so in the rare event funds are needed we already have the solution in place however I cannot see this happening for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for your support.

xCore and tom_ewok are also on the dev team.  xCore does a little bit of everything and is on IRC almost every day.

Hmmm,

I wasn't able to get the wallet running on Ubuntu, I don't have the technical chops; simplifying this process should aid adoption. I'll get it to run on Windows tom and go from there. First impressions are by and large positive   Smiley.

Pablo.


Easiest way to get it installed on Linux is to use Xcore's script.  You can find it @ https://github.com/xCoreDev/vanillacoin-scripts  .  You will find instructions on how to utilize the script there on the page.

Had already tried that, I couldn't get it to work. I'll just run it on windows tom Smiley.

Pablo.

Okie dokie.  The windows build works fine.  If you change your mind and need help though come into the irc room.  The script is pretty easy and I'm sure with some assistance you could get it working.

Will do, thanks Smiley.

Feels like a good price for buying some vanilla
The USD price has hardly changed as it's still between 3 and 4 cents @ $0.031666 like it's been for the past month. The BTC price is irrelevant, at least to me since I do not invest in Bitcoin. Cool

Thank you for your support.

Answering point 2:

Im running 5 super peers, and getting around 60-120VNL each day (of course holding  Cheesy Cheesy)

If you are running the wallet 24/7 you will have more possibilites to take a "reward" now the rewards are 7.407vnl.

You need to get 10.000 vnls, and when you have into your wallet, sent a transaction to your own address of unique 10.000 (without zerotime)

after sending the 10k you must restart your wallet

after that you must go to your wallet data (where stores wallet.dat etc) and edit config.dat and disable proof of stake editing to "0" if not, when you stake, you'll lose the balance of 10.000 and stop node super peer.

You must check in config.dat the port, and open TCP & UDP

you can check you are super peer in the console doing "getincentiveinfo"

I hope don't forget anything.


Best Regards, and enjoy community,




I'd like to thank everyone for their helpful responses; I am actually buying my first coins on Polo right now and am eager to give the coin a try.

I still have some outstanding questions though:

1. Is there a linkdin page or somewhere I can get a bio and other RL info from the dev?

2. Do superpeers need to be hosted? I assume they need to be hosted due to the need for constant uptime/ if so, is their a service that can help me do this? I am not very technical but I will have my first 10k coins by the end of the day.

3. I have heard about Proof of Stake and have a general understanding of the concept, not sure how is works in practice though; I mean, do I just open my wallet and let my cash "stake" by itself? Does it even need to be open? Would it be better if I hosted it on a server? Etc.

Thanks,
   Pablo.

Most appreciated, very detailed. I did get more than 10K so I will take a look at doing this, however, due to low price per reward I think Ill just keep the coins in my wallet for now Smiley.

Pablo.
