Launch Questions

Are we doing an ICO

No.

The details of the launch are being ironed out.

When will MainNet be available

TODO (don't commit to an exact date)

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.
