Re: [UNOFFICIAL] VNL | Vanillacoin 0.3.1 | DarkPP/MinerPP/CoinPP | ZeroTime TestNet
If you're not a developer, you will not be compiling it at any time. It's listed because it is something that is unique to this coin's code.
I am a developer, though not really a crypto developer.
I would be interesting in hearing about what properties of this code make it compilable on platforms that other cryptocurrency wallets are not compilable on.
I understand that VNL is apparently more energy-efficient in some way? One wouldn't expect that to affect compilation though!
The code is a complete rewrite of bitcoin and peercoin. It is not a clone like the VAST majority of cryptocurrencies.
Hop on IRC if you want to try to get more in depth.
Sorry, I don't want to expose my IP by going on IRC.
I think it's most likely that these particular claims of vanillanewsbits are mistaken. It should be clarified whether or not this is an official VanillaCoin account (i.e. whether it is supported by the dev or not) and corrections made if so.
To clarify, I'm taking about this part:
Quote
Can be compiled on any platform, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS, game consoles, etc. No other cryptocurrency can do this.
No that is not the official twitter.
The truth is that it can be compiled for any of those platforms but I really doubt anyone is too worried about compiling the code on their xbox.
There are also some false claims such as their staking being more energy efficient, when it is an exact line for line clone of Peercoin, just rewritten in C++ 11.
"The code is a complete rewrite of bitcoin and peercoin" so it is complete rewrite or just copy and paste in C++??
