Launch Questions

The details are being worked on.
Mining
Is miner CPU or GPU
Right now it is CPU only.
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 (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 30 seconds
Is VeriBlock a fork of some other similar-sounding coin (Veri___)
No. VeriBlock is a brand new coin.
Troubleshooting when running software
NodeCore.bat is doing nothing
Ensure that Java is installed (Requires Java 1.8, the code used lambda functions)
Set the environmental variables.
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.
