Launch Questions
Are we doing an ICO
No.
The details of the launch are being ironed out.
When will MainNet be available
The details are being worked on.
(NOTE: Do NOT commit to a date or quarter).
Mining
Is miner CPU or GPU
Right now it is CPU only. We will create a GPU miner for MainNet
What algorithm do you use?
vBlake, which is a custom version of BLAKE2b we created.
Is it ASIC resistant?
Is is not ASIC resistant, but we are ok with this (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 (this has a readme)
Can I mine the coin now?
Yes, but it is for testnet only. Mainnet will have a new genesis block. The coins on testnet are for testing purposes only, and will not transfer to mainnet.
General
How long does it take to get a block?
About 2 minutes
Troubleshooting when running software
NodeCore.bat is doing nothing
Ensure that Java is installed (Uses Java 1.8, the code used lambda functions)
Set the environmental variables.
