I have updated my client to new version 11.3.2 using the steps above, worked like charm.

Btw, I also think having reserve is a better idea for Virtual Coin survival. At least team would not need to "beg" users each time bounty needs to be set for future development.
Just my 2 cents.

New wallet works great, the installation went without any problems. 

Based on experience with other alt coins, it is very important to have good amount of reserve for development & bounty purpose. I suggest if you able to somehow save it, it would be a better option than risking VC by rewriting new code.

I agree, if these coins are not in the hands of the developers and we are not 100% they have been lost making them unspendable would remove some worry/concern. Since the block explorer showed the instamine/premine (whatever you want to call it) of the first 100 blocks, which is only 4% of the total coin count, but 14% of current coin count.

Please don't recover the coins. VirtualCoin is a no premine coin. Using these coins is basically premining.

Is it possible to make them unspendable just like the genesis block?

Since VC has been stable, no forking detected after re-coding the VC code, so I am cautiously looking to address this either by blocking it with new code (if possible) without damaging existing blockchain. If I could find it & recover those coins, we could use it as development & marketing fund. Since I don't see any activity as those coins could have been lost forever, which take care of the issue by itself.

Thanks

Nice work on the block explorer. Sorry for not being able to help I had a family issue and have been traveling the last week and a half.  I do still have a question for the developer(s) regarding the 1st 100 blocks. Are you looking into the instamine? I am working to get added interest around this coin but some have concerns around this. Would it be possible we can get the you to destroy the instamine, or put it in escrow? As you could expect there is some worry as this is a rather large amount of coin.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

<-- My contribution


And now, since you made me feel bad, I will make a game. (unfortunately not a faucet or anything)

I am a B I G supporter of VIRTUAL COIN.





I am not selling any of my coins nor is Dev or anyone else associated with the coin. Great work has been done so far, if anyone wants to dump coins, I will take it. The user crying about VC, how come he/she still keeping it, why not just sell it or give it to me.

No matter what Virtual Coin is still the best coin. I started mining early & will keep it this way.

e1ghtSpace, at least I have a signature to support VC. What about your contribution?

I confirm. I do not sell at such a low price and still mining . 

this coin will be great keep on mining

If the dev makes this work my faith will be restored.
It just doesn't make sense. Why would he keep updating the code is this is a scam? I actually think the dev might be innocent. Tomorrow I'll do a small investigation. Will keep you updated.

I am still here, however the first 100 blocks need to be made unspendable.

I am still connected with the coin & have been mining since launch. I am also volunteering my time & effort to make Virtual Coin the next bitcoin. I suggest we keep focus on future road map. I don't know about others, but I have full faith in the coin. Once we have shopping module ready, I will donate my share of the coins either in VC or Bitcoin.

Thanks vcoins .. There are 2 Block explorers to add to the OP, don't forget http://virtualcoin.info/  too.

You're one of the lucky ones.
