    • My Testnet experience

      Hello,

      First of all, I really enjoy the campaigns you are doing - keep them coming! πŸ™‚

      The feedback for the Testnet is overwhelmingly positive. The first time I've tried VITE I was amazed how well everything worked on my first try.

      Wallet:
      Both Web and the new Android Wallet are beautiful, had no problems with them whatsoever.
      At the beginning I was not aware that the accounts are only stored in the Local Storage, and never server-side. Would have appreciated a small infobox explaining that (because it's an awesome feature).
      The first campaign I participated in was the Twitter VCP challenge, which explained remarkably well how VITE works.

      Node:
      Wow! This was what surprised me the most! - I participated on day 2 of the Full node campaign. And setting a up a full node up was by far easier than for other cryptocurrencies. Granted, the guide from snapsecure helped, but it was easy and it worked! Compared to IOTA, I struggled a day to get the initial sync done (and had use a database snapshot). For VITE, I waited 2 hours and everything was synced and ready to go. And it is really resource-friendly, running on some low-power hardware (Go seems to be the better choice here - compared with IOTAs IRI implementation in Java).
      After one unexpected poweroff of the server, I had problems getting in sync again (haven't tried it for long though, just wiped the database and started from the beginning again).
      Huge bonus points as well for the dashboards to monitor the nodes!

      Migration:
      Have not yet tried the new integration in the wallet, but also the step-by-step list of the old guide worked perfectly.

      Web:
      Not directly Testnet related, but I like the redesign of the website - everything VITE stands for is explained really well.

      So, I really, really tried to provide some constructive criticism.. but I honestly can't think of anything that could be improved. If I do, I'll tell you πŸ˜‰

      Looking forward to the future - which, as I know you, will happen sooner than expected

    • Translations needed?

      In another post I just learned that more addresses can be generated in the settings page - something I still can't believe I missed until now.

      But there I saw also an option to change the language - currently there seems to be only English and Chinese supported.
      My preference is English, so that's fine. But I'm also a German native speaker, and I know some cryptocurrency holders that would be more comfortable with translated wallets.

      So I thought maybe it would accelerate the adoption if the community provides translations?
      I found the translations for the web wallet in the Git repository (vite-web-wallet/src/i18n). There are only a handful of strings, so I would volunteer to provide a German translation.

      Would such a pull request be desired? Or should this be postponed to a later time, because there are more important things to do at the moment?

    • RE: Result of Lottery Campaign

      @Choeriswangqiji I was the first to participate (see my "Disclaimer" in the post above), was up at 5am local time and sent the transaction as fast as possible when it started. But yes, there was some luck as well. Thank you πŸ™‚

    • RE: 🌟 Voting for Reward Sharing Rules of ViteX

      I voted "No" to sharing pools.
      I like the simplicity of the old model. All accumulated fees of one day will be paid out the next. Simple as that.

      The "shared pool" sounds much more complicated and difficult to explain, which could scare away new users. To reach as many people as possible, the system should be as simple to use as possible. IMHO this is only the case with the old model.

    • Hardware wallets?

      Reading the latest Vite Bi-Weekly Report the paragraph

      10% of research for the Vite ledger hardware wallet has been completed.

      has sparked my interest.
      Could you clarify what you mean with that? Does this mean that we get Ledger Nano S support already soon-ish?

      And why is this under the category of "Block Explorer", wouldn't Wallet be more appropriate if this really is what I hope it is?

    • Smart contracts going live in 9 hours!

      Who else is excited about that?

      How can we try them out when the smart fork happens?

      • Is there any compiler? Can we use solc for simple (non-async-calls) contracts?
      • Are there any tools provided for interacting with them? Will this be added to the web wallet (doesn't look like it when looking at Github)?

    • RE: My Testnet experience

      It's not that I tried to be nice, I went through my usual checklist for projects (especially in an early stage), and there was nothing negative that could be found.

      My usual complaints would be:

      • Intransparent developement: Nope, not here, everything is on github and regularly updated. Code quality seems to be quite good as well.
      • One-man-project/Small contributor team: Nope, at least 9 people working on the core code. That's more than e.g. was the case at Nano at the same stage of the project
      • Whitepaper lacking any technical details: Not the slightest bit here! Containing lots of mathematical definitions, and looks well thought out. And written with LaTeX, what's a good sign as well.
      • No clear use-case. I think smart contracts and DAGs are the future, so there should be plenty of use cases..
      • Unusable node software. Getting the IOTA IRI node up running took a day, with lots of retries needed because I couldn't sync, which was (and still is) a common problem. Here all it took me was entering one command. Also, the resource consumption is exceptionally low (granted, this will increase when the TX volume grows, but again, when compared to projects at the same stage).
      • Unstable node software. Yeah, I had problems after an unexpected crash. At the time I didn't debug it any further, just started from scratch - so it could have been my fault as well. When this happens again, I'll have a closer look at it.

      Nearly every other project I took a closer look at contained multiple issues from the short list above. Doesn't seem to be the case here.

    • RE: My test net experience!

      Hehe thanks @plasmo , how did I earn that? πŸ˜„


      Ahh, i feel so stupid now.. the multiple addresses in the settings were exactly what I was looking for as well.
      Please tell me this is new, and that I haven't overlooked this menu item since the beginning. 🀣

      I would have expected this on the account page, where the address is shown. That this would be some kind of dropdown , or has an 'Add' button or something like that. As the text is static, I just assumed that multiple addresses are not possible.

      • Also, the exchange is not responsive - maybe certain elements could be stacked horizontally instead of vertically on mobile interfaces (e.g. Last Orders / Limit), if not enough width to show both of them. Would not be needed if the exchange gets integrated in the mobile apps though πŸ™‚

      • After completing trades, the Type combobox in "Order History" does not contain any items. Don't know what this should be used for?

      • Next combobox has no caption. Maybe add "Currency" there.

    • RE: Solutions to the problem β€œNode stuck in 8637351”

      If you don't trust random binaries from new users (and you shouldn't, although @lyd00 really seems to be a VITE dev - maybe the forum could display a "VITE developer" flag?), this seems to be based on the latest git snapshot of go-vite. It can be easily built from source, and I can confirm the steps work there as well. My node is in sync again, thanks πŸ™‚

    • RE: Result of Lottery Campaign

      The transactions before the official start of the campain should be in red, right?

      Could it be that there was a translation error in the english announcement?
      Because Snapshot Height "7112624" is from 2019-02-04 00:00:08 UTC+8
      But in the announcement the start is written as "Feb. 04 12:00 noon (UTC+8)", which would be 2019-02-04 12:00:00 UTC+8.

      It looks like many people expected the start would be at the later date, as can be seen on the timestamps from the many transactions immediately following Rank 8 (IMHO, height 7150297 would be the first one, with a timestamp of 2019-02-04 12:00:01 UTC+8 - Disclaimer: that's mine πŸ˜‰ ).
