VargaCoin FAQ · Mining, DEV Coins, Wallets & Mainnet

Question 1

Is VargaCoin already Mainnet?

Accepted Answer

No. The current public chain is the VargaCoin DEV network. It is used for open testing before a separate final Mainnet genesis.

Question 2

Can anyone mine VargaCoin now?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anyone with compatible SHA-256D hardware can run short tests against the public DEV Stratum endpoint. Continuous DEV mining is not required; DEV rewards remain DEV-VGC and do not migrate to Mainnet.

Question 3

Will my DEV-VGC become Mainnet VGC?

Accepted Answer

No. DEV blocks and DEV balances do not automatically migrate, swap or credit into Mainnet. Mainnet starts from a new final genesis.

Question 4

Are DEV blocks deleted at Mainnet launch?

Accepted Answer

No. The project plans to preserve the DEV chain as a historical read-only archive so early blocks and tests remain verifiable.

Question 5

When is Mainnet planned?

Accepted Answer

The target is 30 December 2026 at 18:00 UTC, but launch readiness has priority over the calendar. Critical consensus, wallet or infrastructure issues can delay launch.

Question 6

Does VGC already have a market price?

Accepted Answer

No guaranteed or official market price exists. DEV-VGC is test currency. If Mainnet VGC is later traded, price is determined by independent market participants and can fall to zero.

Question 7

When will VGC be listed on an exchange?

Accepted Answer

Exchange integration is planned only after a stable Mainnet launch. The project first needs final consensus rules, releases, independent nodes, explorer and integration documentation.

Question 8

Why are newly mined rewards not immediately spendable?

Accepted Answer

Coinbase outputs have a maturity requirement. The current DEV implementation requires 100 additional blocks before a mined reward becomes spendable.

Question 9

What is a WIF?

Accepted Answer

WIF is an export form of a private key. Anyone who obtains it can control the funds for that key. Never publish it or send it to support.

Question 10

Why can a miner UI show BTC even when mining VGC?

Accepted Answer

Some SHA-256 miner firmware labels Bitcoin-compatible block fields as BTC. The authoritative asset and reward are determined by the VargaCoin chain and can be verified in the VargaCoin Explorer.
