Hi everyone! We're back
This time we're here to announce the launch of our Vite faucet to the public.

This faucet will allow anyone and everyone to be able to grab some Vite, free of cost with no catch... no ads.
It will help to further increase adoption and awareness of the Vite platform/ecosystem.

Let us state some things.

• The faucet link is https://snapsecure.network/faucet (we may switch over to a whole domain name in the near future).
• Snap Secure and its faucet will be forever free of any popups, ads or malware.
• We do not have a daily limit (site wide) of coins.
• We do however have a daily limit on withdrawals per 24 hour period and any person will be unable to make anymore than 1 withdrawal per 24 hours.
• We don't allow VPN/proxy/non-residential users.
• We've tried to keep the faucet as simple as we can. (Simple = easy).
• We are SSL Secured.
• Withdrawal requests will be broadcasted instantly (yes users will be amazed by Vite's network speed).
• Unlike other faucets out there, 100% of donations received will go back towards the faucet.
• Built completely from the ground up and we will still keep working on the faucet even after launch.
• We will be adding in more information in the coming weeks about Vite and so new users can learn how Vite works.

So what are you waiting for!? Go ahead and grab yourself some Vite tokens. Remember to share the link with your friends and family so they can grab some as well.

P.S If you've used the faucet, let us know how it went. Smooth? Complicated? Errors? Shared with friends?

We've been working away the last few days and now we want to share what we've been up to with the Vite community.

We've developed and just completed the core functions of our upcoming coin faucet.

You can test it out for yourself by visiting:

https://snapsecure.network/faucet

Simply enter in your Vite wallet address and you should receive a token (you should see it in "Unreceived Transactions" if you're using the testnet block explorer to view).

We're using Vite Testnet Tokens (VTT) for now so don't expect any free Vite tokens out of this test faucet

This is just the base code (so excuse the ugly appearance) and we will build upon this to create something cool.

We will announce in the future when we will release our (completed) coin faucet.

By then, you'll be able to tell your friends, parents and co-workers about it so they can grab some tokens (actual Vite tokens) for themselves

Hi everyone! Just want to introduce myself.
I'm plasmo from Snap Secure (the first ever SBP from the community) and we're based down under in Australia.

Our name Snap Secure is actually derived from Snapshot chain, the base chain helping to secure Vite's DAG.

Today we just want to let everyone know what we're really all about.

WHAT WE'VE DONE

We've designed and created a website made from the ground up to help promote Vite. We currently have heaps of unique users visiting daily.

• Website: snapsecure.network

A Twitter to keep our followers up to date on Snap Secure articles/guides/competitions or anything we're doing.

• Twitter: twitter.com/snap_secure

We would like to see more people use Vite but there are some things that we think are just too complicated for many.
That is the reason we've written up articles/tutorials on how to do advanced stuff such as: running a SBP node or a full node.

• SBP Guide: https://snapsecure.network/beginners-guide-to-installing-and-operating-a-vite-sbp
• Full Node Guide: https://snapsecure.network/run-a-full-node-today-and-earn-vite-rewards-daily

Plenty of users/SBPs have actually came to us to ask for further assistance/help in setting up their full node or SBP node (after reading our guide) and we're always happy to help out. Feel free to contact us any time.

We've also created the first ever community competition to help promote usage of the official Vite forums.

• Competition 1: https://snapsecure.network/full-node-reward-guessing-competition

We've also helped the Vite dev team out via:

• Github by writing official installation steps for Windows
• Spotting mistakes/bugs (missing steps on the official Medium Vite ERC20 conversion guide, incorrect Windows IPC command on the Vite Wiki, incorrect DashboardTargetURL on Gvite 1.0.4, incorrect RewardAddr on Gvite 1.0.4 etc)

Made suggestions:

• Improvements to Gvite such as NTP time check/stats (which got implemented on version 1.0.3)
• Gvite exit upon config error (recently implemented)
• Return account block hash for CreateTxWithPassphrase (recently implemented)

We are active on Telegram/Discord and do like to provide knowledge/assistance in anything Vite related (either in the public channels or via private/direct message).

WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON

Right now we're developing a public Vite coin faucet via PHP/JSON-RPC (to help further increase users/adoption). If successful, we will market this to attract more new users to Vite.

You may test it out at: https://snapsecure.network/faucet

and you can read more about it at: https://forum.vite.net/topic/133/snap-secure-is-developing-a-coin-faucet

We're also brain storming fun competitions/ideas on how to get users involved more with Vite.

WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE FUTURE

Snap Secure was born from Vite and we do believe in Vite long term. We're here to stay and help promote Vite adoption/usage and growth.

We plan to write more guides in the future such as how to use the Vite DEX, Vite cross chains or anything we think can help users further understand Vite.

We plan to do more competitions to help promote Vite and get the community more involved.

Our long term goal is to launch a casino on the Vite platform utilising Solidity++.

Think of it this way.

In Ethereum, you need to pay a fee for any transaction you perform.

• Alice pays more than Bob so Alice's transaction has higher priority over Bob's.
• Alice doesn't know how much fees to pay so most of the time will overpay or underpay.
• Carlos has to spend anywhere from $0.05 to $0.50 to perform a transaction.
• Alice is constantly frustrated that a transaction she performed has ran out of gas.

In Vite, there are no fees for any transactions you perform (but however are they quota requirements).

• Alice performs a transaction and they are instantly confirmed.
• Alice always knows how much quota a transaction requires as they are static and known
  https://vite.wiki/tutorial/rule/quota.html#quota-usage-rules.
• Carlos never needs to pay any fees for sending a transaction as Carlos simply performs a PoW
• Bob is a frequent trader and has staked some tokens (in-order to generate quotas) and is able to perform transactions much more frequently compared to someone who performs PoW.

Vite has a quota based resource allocation protocol and also does not have any transaction priority (as transactions are almost instantly confirmed as they are sent).

There are currently two ways to obtain quota:

• Perform PoW (this is done inside the wallet application) to perform a one time transaction.
  You can only do PoW on basic transactions. For most users, performing PoW is more than enough for them (voting, sending etc). For more advanced transactions (such as registering a SBP node or issuing new tokens), they will be required to stake some tokens in-order to be able to perform them.

• Stake Vite tokens to generate quota (your quota will never run out as they will regenerate). The generation rate depends on how much you stake... higher amount of staked tokens equals a higher quota generating rate.
  This is great for users like myself who will perform transactions frequently (such as operating a coin faucet). If I want to be able to perform even more transactions at a faster rate, I can just simply stake more tokens to increase my quota generation rate.

Another bug (or lack of feature) in Android wallet is that it is able to scan QR code with embedded vite address such as

vite:vite_9070efe96cc05d58ddc330605362d2de258a40ecfce9e9393a

but unable to scan QR scan with embedded vite address + amount + data

vite:vite_9070efe96cc05d58ddc330605362d2de258a40ecfce9e9393a?amount=1?data=datahere

The forum QR code format is vite address + amount + data so that means that the Android wallet is unable to scan those.

Another one is that the input box of the Android wallet accepts formatted text, which should not be the case. See photo for example.

Don't need the rewards. Just want to report bugs

@hoangptsc What ideas are you suggesting other than increasing the airdrop amount?

@brkdmn check if you're using same address. a wallet has up to 10 addresses

We've just updated our summary to include our upcoming coin faucet project

https://snapsecure.network/faucet

Right now it's just a simple demo to show token send function (with a lot of work/testing put into it) but we will further build upon it.

What referral link are you referring to?

Open app > vite > quota > staking list. You can unstake them from here.

@ATUL I'm not tech support. Wrong person to ask. And stop hijacking other people's forum thread.

@sandunfernando VX is not yet launched/avail. So not known yet how much VX you will earn by staking.

@ATUL

@blaup https://vite.wiki/tutorial/node/install.html

Complete instructions are there.

@Raife1989 You mean like run a node and earn Vite for doing so? Yeah most likely you can do it on that hardware but the rewards are pretty small and you need excellent uptime. For most people it's not worth it unless you can get servers/electricity for free or already have a server that is online 24/7 idling.

@blaup Running a regular node doesn't give you "mining" rewards. It's not considered mining. It's just a regular reward coming from ViteLabs' fund. If you're a supernode, you can actually mine and earn coins.

@Sunnybest Use a PC and go to https://wallet.vite.net/ (use Desktop mode if using mobile browser), import your account there using your seed and you can unstake via Quota Management menu. You will be able to unstake after 3 days of staking.

@Sunnybest staking doesn't give any rewards.
