Launch Questions
When will MainNet be available
MainNet Launch Date = Monday, March 25 at 10am EDT (2pm UTC).
Mining
Is miner CPU or GPU
Yes, there is both a CPU and GPU: HowTo_run_PoW_Miner
However given the GPU is much much faster for PoW mining... CPU users encouraged to PoP mine instead of PoW mine.
What algorithm do you use?
vBlake, which is a custom version of BLAKE2b we created.
Is it ASIC resistant?
Is is intentionally not ASIC resistant (although there are not any ASICs yet since it's a new algorithm).
How to get started
Where to get software
Download the software on github: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases
Can I mine the coin now?
Yes, but we currently only have testnet. See: Mining_Sunrise_Phase
General
How long does it take to get a block?
About 30 seconds. See: PoW_vs_PoP_Mining
Is VeriBlock a fork of some other similar-sounding coin (Veri___)
No. VeriBlock is a brand new coin.
Can I upload my log file somewhere?
Yes, create a new issue on https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases/issues. There is a file-size limit enforced by github, but you should be able to attach log files.
