Launch Questions
When did VeriBlock Launch?
See: MainNet_Launch_FAQ
Mining
Is miner CPU or GPU
VeriBlock uses vProgPow, which is essentially a GPU algo. See: HowTo_PoW_Mine_VeriBlock
What algorithm do you use?
VeriBlock uses vProgPow. See: ProgPow
Originally it used vBlake, which is a custom version of BLAKE2b.
Can I mine VBK with my laptop?
Yes, you can PoP from laptop. See: HowTo_run_PoP_Miner
How to get started
Where to get software
See: Getting_Started
Download the software on github: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases
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. NodeCore is written in Kotlin/Java.
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.
Does VBK have master nodes?
No. VeriBlock is fully decentralized, and no node has any influence over consensus based on any form of staking. You could download a full node here: NodeCore_QuickStart, or SPV here: HowTo_run_SPV
