What is up with the Windows wallet? Why is the wallet not syncing? I re-installed wallet and rebuilt block chain. I don't remember this being so difficult?
Been gone for a while. Help is appreciated!
do you still have a problem? better go on irc
somebody can help you there..
I backed up my wallet and deleted every trace of vericoin then reinstalled. It seems to be syncing further. Thanks for the concern. I'll let you guys know if I still have trouble.
Now for my two cents...
Vericoin is hands down one of the most ambitious projects I've seen in crypto. Veribit alone makes it worth while and ready for real world use. I would like to see us encourage more development and less entertaining of FUD on this forum. It's easy to get caught up with trolls (competitors) trying to FUD the coin to death. I have full faith in the developers to listen to the community, and seek help rather than listening to cheerleaders and trolls. There are a lot of knowledgable people here with great ideas and strategies. It would do the coin well to implement some of the strategies listed here in the thread.
This has the potential to be THE next big thing in crypto. We need to show our support to Vericoin and it's developers and get the word out. Ignore FUDsters and have patience.
Good work Vericoin Devs!
Now could you please also quote which ideas and strategies you think are good and WHY so you can also contribute to the discussion? Apart of course of "generic" comments without any basis that make you look like another cheerleader though I do not think you are one
Do you think I am one of those "FUDsters"?
1. I don't know you. Your comments never stuck out to me, so I could care less if you were a FUDster or not.
2. The user "buy4crypto" has very good points. Just to entertain you, here are a few:
:buy4crypto:
-"VeriCoin needs to streamline what it is. Things that are done, need to be done well from the community projects, to developer projects. Communication during times of significance like this between key investors, and product/service leaders is key to being successful. We can create value that we may have overlooked before being complacent in good times. Now we know that promising things, for the sake of keeping momentum is not the way to go about things"
-"I think at this point, our best bet, as a coin is to say what vericoin is. and what it isn't. A nod to what barb said and that we need to be the good guys, its the only unique feature you may even have in crypto, with first mover advantage, and a incident with MP that didn't kill the coin. If harnessing that energy properly it may be able to propel VeriCoin back to great heights.
-"IMO, we should try a strategy related more closely with finding a vision for vericoin, and putting pieces in place to grow our vision. Do it with the same positive attitude, and integrity that you, and the team have shown through this process and IMO VeriCoin will be rewarded."
All of these points are very clear and very right. Vericoin should be focusing on getting the coin used as a currency and developing a clear vision before working on features only elite crypto nerds would understand or want (block-chain 2.0, anonymity) Features like VeriBit and VeriSMS are a step in the right direction, because it enables regular people to use the coin virtually anywhere. These features needs to be done and operational as of yesterday IMO.
Finally, there is nothing wrong with words of encouragement. Blind faith and devotion without regard to the facts is one thing (cheerleading), but letting people know you believe in their cause/project and offering constructive feedback does wonders. PLus it makes the dev's feel good for what they are doing. Imagine if you worked 80+ hours a week without a "thank you" or "good job, keep it up".
I believe in the Vericoin project, that's why I'm highlighting the points others have made, because those points serve to help the coin grow.
