My has vanillacoin come far now. It is gpu mineable, on C-Cex exchange, and the wallet is much better and still being improved. There is a lot of interest on it now and it is more secure/anonymous than DRK. I'll be mining and buying some.

I ran it thru virustotal before trying it, and everything seemed fine. No malware.
However, I also had to download multiple clients, other people's blockchain, peers, etc.
to get it working and I was on many wrong chains. I also tried to run it on four different
computers and only my laptop will sync with the network. No friggin idea why. Even if I
take the complete folder minus wallet.dat from my laptop and put it on another computer
it still never syncs or works. It gets about 4 connections and then drops to 0. Or it sits
there forever saying -0.000000000001% of blockchain loading on a clean install. So where
this coin is frustrating to get to work, it may be fun if it gets some more fixes and an exchange.
Because basically you are using low resources to solo mine easily from the wallet.
Only time will tell, but I would NOT call this malware without showing proof.

Vanillacoin has been awesome to mine with cpu solo and it has been great to not be tied to this forum. The fact that the true believers feel threatened by the developer doesn't surprise me at all.
What are you even warning people about? "victims"? wtf? I have felt like a victim numerous times on this forum in the last year, not with vanilla coin though. Oh well, people will believe what they want.

We are victims because we don't have to rent hash to mine a new coin. Victims also because we don't have to cope with this forum.
Bashing the coin on this forum because some people had a technical argument on github over Bitcoin, not sure how ethical this is.
You are victims of a hard working dev, with best fair solo mining. You can mine on a single core and do whatever you want, even if your cpu is old as your grandma.
I don't know or rather don't care, did he take part of BTC code and rewrite it, but I'm sure most of alt coins just copy past it with minor changes and live after that absolutely fine. I also doubt that they ask though someone permission.
It's interesting project to follow, thats for sure.

i also mining vanillacoin at first ,but finally i find this coin
is hard to synced and many problems coming , dev update the wallet
for many times
once he update the client , most of people are on the wrong chain, all people need to wait dev's
anouance to know what chain are correce
this is very rediculous right? thanks for warning

I was never on a wrong chain. But it happened to people, and it doesn't make a coin bad. Happened to lots of coins out there.
The coin is openly called an alpha/beta by the dev. What you are talking is just plain stupid.

FWIW, I politely reported the copyright violation (the code being a copy of Bitcoin Core run through an auto-formatter with all the attribution removed) as an issue on the github for the project and john-connor accused me of stalking him and then hid the issue tracker on that github from public view. :-/
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as it's consistent with the rest of the concerns that resulted in creating this thread-- that there is some ongoing effort to keep that work out of the sunlight.

copyright violation? enlighthen me please since Bitcoin Core is an open source as far as i know
If you violate the license terms, you can never copy it again, unless the copyright holders give you a new license.
who is the copyright holder then?Sathoshi Nagamoto?
That means any of us can DMCA or sue for copyright infringement, and that someone who has infringed on the license needs to get permission from each and every one of us, before they can distribute/copy Bitcoin Core ever again (even unmodified).
(and yes, you're right that they will have a difficult time getting permission from Satoshi...)

Won't the VNL source code be released by the dev once pool mining has been implemented? Which is next on the VNL agenda... perhaps more clarity about the source, modifications and improvements can be had at that time?

Thread is locked on BCT because every discussion is being held on the VNL forum.
This would have been pretty obvious if you just read his last comment made on BCT. BCT isn't the only place on earth where proper discussion can be held on cryptos. If you would follow the alt scene you would pretty much see that this forum is infested with trolls.
I am not saying that what you are saying is right or wrong, but you made 0 research on the issue. I am mining VNL because it's easy to mine with simple PC's and laptops and so far everytime we had issues with the client it was fixed in a few hours. Not sure how much of a high skilled dev John is, but so far I had no problems.
Edit: I am really not sure why you name and shame on this forum. 90% of the alt-coins so far have been scams. As someone who is following the VNL forums I can say that we had no problems with his developments so far and nothing suspicious happened with the clients. Yeah it's not the most optimal thing to have closed source clients, but this isn't the first one in the scene and obviously it should only be temporary.

+1, i like the way you reply
I mined some on windows64 when this coin was launched on 23 Dec 2014. Yes, it was easy to mine at first time but after that i always got problem with syncing block chain and not syncing at the moment.
