Verge Currency is a simple decentralized open-source cryptocurrency that offers different levels of private transactions. It is done by obfuscating the users' IP addresses with Tor and by leveraging the stealth transactions, which makes it difficult to determine the geolocation of its users. Furthermore, this currency has a maximum supply capped at 16.5 million XVG. It uses the POW (Proof of Work) mining principle and multi-algorithm support and five different functions: Scrypt, X17, Lyra3rev2, myr-groestl, and blake2s.
History of Verge (XVG)
The Verge currency was created in 2014 and was initially named DogeCoinDark. It was then rebranded to Verge currency in the year 2016. It follows the bitcoin principle and therefore has a transparent ledger that will allow anyone to view all the transactions. Still, at the same time, it protects the identities and locations of the users. It was achieved by integrating both Tor not to expose the IP addresses and using the stealth transactions, commonly called the 'Wraith Protocol' to hide the values of the transactions.
In April 2018, it was announced that MindGeek, the adult entertainment provider, would begin to accept Verge Currency as a payment option on the website network. Furthermore, during April and May 2018, the Verge Currency also suffered from the time stamp exploit on one of its five mining algorithms. This could have resulted in a 51% attack if it had only one algorithm.
