Title: Viacoin now on Azure
Post by: spartak_t on July 14, 2016, 08:09:29 PM
Looks like a bitcointalk user romanornr (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=225292) helped Viacoin to be on Azure and the coin started to receive some attention. Over $60k in trade volume, while the price peaked at ~4500 satoshi.

P.S. At the moment is down for some reason.

was it not pointed out months ago that all you need to do if fill in a few forms, and Azure will add you?
It worked for pumping coins for a while, until people found out that it is essentially meaningless!

As far as I know - yes.

I don't think that this is their intention. Viacoin was never been hyped (at least by their "team" (I am putting quotation marks, because unfortunately currently VIA barely has a team)). Just wanted to give some publicity to a coin, which was forgotten for quite some time, but the developer is still active.

P.S. I do not own any VIA, thought I had like 130k before 1-2 years. :)

Well, I always thought it has a bad marketing, but VIA has no updates (on the code), because currently it doesn't need them. If you can see there are close to 8k commits on the code and over 271 contributors. Take a closer look and you can see that there are several Bitcoin core developers among them:

Bitcoin: https://bitcoin.org/en/development (for example - btcdrak, Petter Todd, fanquake, luke-jr are some of them)
Viacoin: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/graphs/contributors

I really think that VIA is one of the best out there.

P.S. I'm not saying "Buy"!!!

As an Altcoin/Bitcoin/Forex & Stocks trader, can say... There will always be a retrace down before going up again.
Opportunities come and go.
