Vivuscoin community and contact

Contact

Email for anything private, GitHub for anything technical.

Email: support@vivuscoin.com

The only official contact. It is a forwarder read by a person, so expect a reply from a human and not instantly. For wallet problems, include your operating system, the wallet version (Help › About), what you did, and the last hundred or so lines of debug.log from the data directory. For anything about the chain, the block height your wallet shows.

Official Write to support

GitHub: vivuscoin/vivuscoin

The source code, MIT-licensed, with releases and checksums. This is where releases are tagged.

GitHub issues

Bugs, build problems and questions about the code. Public, searchable, and the best place for anything technical.

Open an issue

Discussion

Discussion: BitcoinTalk announcement thread. Questions about the wallet, mining and the airdrop are welcome there; bugs in the code go to GitHub issues.

Official channels are the ones listed on this page.

Vivuscoin has no X, Telegram, Discord or Reddit account and does not send direct messages. Anyone else claiming to be Vivuscoin is not us. For anything private, email support@vivuscoin.com.

Where the work happens

Development happens on GitHub. The repository holds the Bitcoin-Core-derived source and the release tags, and every release ships with SHA-256 checksums for its binaries and release notes.

What’s next lists what is being built. The network status page shows what the seed nodes see, refreshed every few minutes.

How to contribute

Useful work is paid from the airdrop programme's earned tier.

Code

Open an issue before a large change so the approach is agreed. Small, reviewable pull requests against the current release branch; keep the Bitcoin Core coding style; add a test where one fits. Consensus changes get the most scrutiny and the slowest merges, on purpose.

Documentation and testing

Build instructions for a platform we do not cover, a clearer guide, a translation, or a report from running the wallet on real hardware. Testing release candidates on Windows, macOS and Linux is the most valuable thing a non-developer can do.

Run a node

A full node reachable on port 8168 helps the network more than anything else. Reachable nodes are on the airdrop's earned list: 1,000 VVC per month of verified uptime. See Developers & nodes.

The 2021 forum

The 2021 forum at talk.vivuscoin.com is offline and is not coming back. Discussion happens in the BitcoinTalk announcement thread; GitHub issues and email cover the rest.

Code of conduct

Be civil. Disagree with the code, not the person.
No price talk, no shilling.
No spam, no referral links, no unsolicited promotion of other projects.
Report security problems privately to support@vivuscoin.com before posting them anywhere public.
Maintainers decide what is merged and what is removed; that decision is explained in the open and can be argued with, once.

Security and scams

We never ask for your keys, your seed, a signature or a payment.

We do not send direct messages. There is no token sale and no official wallet other than Vivuscoin Core from the GitHub release. Anyone asking you to connect a wallet, sign a message or pay a fee to receive VVC is a scammer. If you are unsure, email support and wait for the reply.

Run a node, build from source, RPC.
