There are no nodecore zip files available on the github page, only read.md?

Check out https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases/releases and click on the latest .zip "all" release (nodecore-all-testnet-0.1.0.zip)

need to pay 0.001 btc for make it work ?

This is for PoP mining, which is the mechanism by which the VeriBlock blockchain secures itself to the Bitcoin blockchain. VeriBlock testnet is secured to Bitcoin testnet, and anyone can act as a PoP miner on VeriBlock testnet by spending a nominal quantity of testnet Bitcoin coins in order to publish the current state of the VeriBlock testnet blockchain to the Bitcoin testnet blockchain. Right now, Bitcoin testnet transaction fees are incredibly low.

Do not spend any 'real'/mainnet Bitcoin on PoP mining VeriBlock testnet; not only are testnet coins considered to be devoid of value, but testnet VeriBlock tracks the testnet Bitcoin chain rather than the mainnet Bitcoin chain (so PoP transactions done to mainnet Bitcoin on behalf of testnet VeriBlock will not be accepted by VeriBlock testnet anyway).

what do you mean by that ? as far as i know it was a testnet,the balance and everything will be reset in the future
please read it;

NOTE: The software available for download below is for the VeriBlock testnet blockchain.
The network (and all address balances) will be reset prior to official mainnet launch.

so you do not need to pay anything because it's testnet for Veriblock blockchain.
or i might be wrong in here ?

Javi is correct in that the VeriBlock blockchain is currently in testnet. However, anyone wanting to test the new consensus feature introduced by VeriBlock (Proof-of-Proof mining) needs to spend testnet Bitcoin (not mainnet Bitcoin) to do PoP mining on behalf of VeriBlock testnet (thereby securing VeriBlock testnet to Bitcoin testnet).

(no connection) > Commands:

Did you start a local instance of NodeCore and type "connect 127.0.0.1:10500" to connect to that local instance first?

Looks like I see a new coin here with an new type algo. It's on my watchboard now.

Does this coin have something to do with vericoin?

IT DOES NOT.

Cool thing dev but please specify that this has nothing to do with VRC/VRM. Because peoples in slack are gettin pretty confused and just started come over us! Thanks!

Added a note at the bottom of the ANN about the difference between the VeriBlock and VeriCoin/Verium projects.

Thank you!

To the devs: I've got everything working with a CPU. When will GPU-mining be activated?

You are currently mining coins on the VeriBlock testnet. Upon release of the VeriBlock mainnet, a GPU miner will be publicly available.

looks interesting, keep sharing updates

discord would be helpful for the community

Thanks for your interest in VeriBlock! We currently have several social media channels available (check out veriblock.org for the most recent list).

Extraction on the processor is working, it is not clear how pop in the test network to check and extract on video cards.

PoW on VeriBlock behaves similar to PoW on other blockchains; blocks are mined by miners consuming significant computational resources.

PoP, however, is an entirely new form of mining; PoP miners publish the current state of the VeriBlock blockchain to the Bitcoin blockchain (or currently, the state of VeriBlock testnet to Bitcoin testnet), and by doing so earn a mining reward for helping VeriBlock inherit Bitcoin's security.
