IMPORTANT: Zcash Counterfeiting Vulnerability Successfully Remediated
original post: https://z.cash/blog/zcash-counterfeiting-vulnerability-successfully-remediated/
VoteCoin is based on zcash, so it had the same vulnerability in its code as well.
Since VoteCoin is following zcash development closely and our team is backporting all news and improvements from zcash, especially the Sapling upgrade, the vulnerability has been fixed in the same manner as it was in ZCash, on the same day when ZCash fixed it (by activating Sapling upgrade in VoteCoin network on 28th of October, 2018).
We have found no evidence that the vulnerability was discovered by anyone else or that counterfeiting occurred.
It is possible to verify the total amounts of coins held in sprout addresses (i.e., the Sprout shielded pool) in the output of following command:

votecoin-cli getblockchaininfo
As long as the value in the shielded pools are greater than zero, no counterfeiting has been detected.-Tom
Great info thank you Tom.
I ran the code, it opens the GUI wallet and in the CMD page it just says wallet start, over and over.
