     Hello!

     Since I have been some months hodling VIA and researching about it I truly believe that VIA is clearly undervalued.

     Reasons?

     - Segwit is just matter of hours -> http://segwit.viacoin.org/
     - The main dev is brilliant -> Romano
     - We (yes, I consider myself part of the community) have one of the best whales supporting VIA -> Otoh the legend
     - The community is really nice and active, you can join to Telegram group and check it here (Romano is very active there) ->  https://t.me/viacoin
     - LN (Lightning Network) is coming very soon (Romano is currently working on it).

     Segwit was planned to be active on 28th June but there were some bugs that Romano had to fix. While the people thought it was going to happen on
     the 28th VIA value was >2$ and now it is only 0.93$.

     All of this is why I think VIA is really undervalued and that is the reason I keep buying VIA every time I have some $ to invest.

     Cheers!  ;)

   

Yep. Via is currently undervalued at the moment, but so is the entire alt scene! Everybody's dumping for BCC fork.

The greatest coin in the history of the world. Real talk.

Yeh I agree with this they are getting added to ledger hardware wallet also after the bcc fork thing. And LN and styx are coming we could see a big rise in price
And romano also stated he has many more cool things he will add with 2017 roadmap almost finished I think we will see this go 10$+ before end of the year

10$ I really don't know but 4-6$ I'd say easily, I hope so  ;D

Agree with OP. It is a good project so holding some for a while and waiting for $10 or more.

I also like Viacoin, through time it is increasing well. When at first i was investing in it, it was 0.34$ and now it is 1$  :) Deffinetly this project is worth our money.

looks like segwitt has begun :p. you can see the volume starting to explode already. i think the roof is somewhere around 4 $

 Segwit locked in status reached  ;D

hopefully gets a big boost in price after august 1st

Boooom !

Have a happy bull run everyone.

Btw VIA +22% 40k, take the train before it goes up !

Cheers

PD: Remember, Segwit activation link for VIA -> http://segwit.viacoin.org/

you will see your transferred coins when wallet is synced. You can always check for balance of your adress in explorer (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/via/)

 im sure there is a file to load in directory and it would be synced, BUT the dev recommends to let everything sync from the scratch.

should go up to 10$ soon hopefully, the dev is very active and the roadmap is looking good and has the interest of some whales

At this moment 1412 blocks to activate segwit x 24 secs/block = 33888 secs / 3600 = 9,41h to go -> http://segwit.viacoin.org/
 
So today Segwit is gonna be activated  ;D

Next step LN  ;)

Don't know about today it's taking a while. Pretty much a big announcement will be made once its activate and the price will drive it up.

~600 blocks to go (3-4 hours)

VIA is a fucking scam guys. I will update you in a bit, but when you look at the source code, it is fucking Bitcoin rebranded with a few parameters changed.

The guys does like 1 line changes to make it look like activity is happening.

I will have an article with screenshots to back-up my claim.

Segwit was supposed to be activated June 28th. It is 1 month later and you can see he was way off. These are just ploys to pump the price.

Lol mate I laughed way to hard at this

What in particular is funny? Mocking people without reason is nonsense.

Seriously, go read actual commit data: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commits/master

VIA is not even 1 year old.

If it was a scam would Otoh be holding as much as he does? And would the VIA dev get so much recognition from other developers of high cap coins ?

No. Now go back to your wordpress fuckery.

Who the hell is Otoh?

Where is the recognition?

I have given you solid evidence of the work he has done - why do you refute the truth?

I guess "scam" is not the right term. VIAcoin is just pump and dump - vaporware.

Wordpress? What are you even talking about?

Here is the original announcement thread of Viacoin, started on July 18th 2014: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699278.0

Segwit was supposed to be activated earlier but Romano ran into a bug that was hard to solve. Once it was solved he still needed to wait for Wang Chung to signal it. Wang was on a business trip so it took him quite a while. He tweeted about signalling for Viacoin on July 29th: https://twitter.com/f2pool_wangchun/status/891130408988942337
Do you really think a big player like Wang Chung would even bother to help Viacoin signal for Segwit if it was a pump/dump coin?

If you are into trading/altcoins and you don't know who Otoh is I probably shouldn't even bother to take you seriously. I'm really looking forward to seeing that article of yours.

"The Premium Information Service"..... Riiiiiight.

Yes, I know it was supposed to be activated earlier (about 20 days earlier than the original announcement!).

That's another thing - everyone is ok with the VIA mining pool belonging to one man? Holy shite. Why would Wang Chung help? Because he seems like a helpful guy, simple as that. Oh, and there are tons of centralized mining pools for these cryptos because they are easy money, so maybe that's a factor too!

Of all the posts I have read and altcoins I have looked into, the name "Otoh" has not come up once. Maybe he is less important than you think?

I'm confused what point you are arguing with me...I have asked these two questions:


And neither were answered.

There is public proof of what I'm staying yet there is still HUGE disregard to what I'm saying. I'm 100% open to being wrong, but god damn you guys have to try at least! So far there has been nothing new contributed to this conversation that convinces me otherwise.

Segwit in VIA is not the dev's doing. Look at his commit history.


Ooooof right in the kisser!!

I'll help you out here. Here is Otoh posting about his portfolio: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1840789.msg19588935#msg19588935

As you can see, he's a nobody. A nobody who happens to see the potential of Viacoin and supporting the developer.

Like I said, looking forward to seeing your article. I'm sure it will be mind blowing!

Uhh, he got rich off of Bitcoin and has diversified his portfolio. Of course he will invest in anything that's having talk going on. He frickin' added IOTA. As soon as he says a crypto name I bet you see gains within the hour.

Thank you for having the decency of pointing me to some useful information - I really do appreciate it.

Heh, I don't write "mind blowing" articles but I do like to show that a lot of these coins are just fluff, and propose how they can fix themselves (or if they should just off themselves...) and mention if developers are tackling issues day-to-day.

Man don't we all wish we could be Otoh eh? :)

As I said earlier, I think it was wrong of me to use the term "scam", but I think pump-and-dump is accurate here. All in all I'm saying do NOT expect VIA to be around in the next 10 years. It is just a Bitcoin fork with minimal changes. Changes like "lets activate Segwit first!!!", which is just to get people riled up.

SEGWIT REACHED

Lets go

Keep it quiet. I am trying to get more while it is still cheap. :P

Any bump in price?

Segwit Active!
https://twitter.com/viacoin/status/893191786885206017 (https://twitter.com/viacoin/status/893191786885206017)

Yep! Like 3% gain in price at the moment

I think the problem with a lot of coins is that they simply change a bit and say they need to be in existence. I really like truly revolutionary coins like ethereum monero or IOTA. They do something really new

Ok, lets see...Bittrex and Polo go up :D

Viacoin to the moon!!! Let's hope it hits the 2 dollar mark!!!

I hope it hits the 5-10 dollar mark.

Yes exactly. Ethereum and Monero and IOTA are significantly different (although I have more hope in Byteball than IOTA's implementation) from Bitcoin...unlike VIA in this case.

That is why they are worth so much, because they actually offer something new and not just a simple fork.

Can't wait to see VIA fall in the next week and say "told you so".

Well via is pretty unique it's 25x faster then bitcoin it uses merged mining it will support segwit and lightning network and will be anonymous when styx is implemented there are also rumours it will have tumblebit and masternodes. So can you tell me one coin that will have all these?

Via is 25x faster? You've got the numbers and citations to back that shit up? Because it's bullshit. Lets see Via have the same number of transactions and infrastructure. It will perform the exact same as Bitcoin because the dev as made no changes regarding transaction speed! I know, I've looked at the commits!

And what do you know, Bitcoin is using Segwit too! Guess what? Via is actually just using Bitcoin's Segwit code!

Lightning networks are coming too, what's your point?? Via will use Bitcoin's lightning network code too!

Styx is an eternity away. It is just a "goal", there has been zero work done for it.

I am not saying "dump your Via!!", I'm saying Via is literally a Bitcoin clone and offers nothing new. You are free to use the Via fork...but technologically it is inferior since it has to keep up with merging code changes from Bitcoin Core.

Even now we see this Segwit activation pump falling.

segwit.viacoin.org

After Segwit on Viacoin's signal confirmed

Price shoot up from 40K - 51K Right  now

It would be nice if you would read the book "Crypto for newbies" before polishing your ego by talking nonsense and hollering that it is provable truth.
- VIA coin one year old - man, your own link proves you wrong, go start learning to read github
- VIA a clone of Bitcoin: Of course it is. Nearly every coin out there is (Dash, Stratis, Litecoins, Digibyte, Syscoin, and the list goes on and on - is a clone of bitcoin.

So basically your argumentation is: "I dont like sports cars, I will be happy if tmr no one buys sports cars anymore, because trucks are much better. Trucks can load things and sports car not. Sports cars suck guys! Look at me! I am important! I have something to say her in forum while in real life no one cares about me! Trucks are better!".

Pointless.

sad where you draw your self-recognition from. You gonna repeat those posts know everytime VIA goes down 10%? And then remain silent when it goes up again?

https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commit/9170045447642850a819d97b5d1728dca1ba86c0

What is the date you see here?

I'm seeing Sept 17 2016.

It is not even 1 year old.

Now please go be useful somewhere else.


Do you see me talking good about those coins? :) Nope!

It has gone from 40k to 51k, caused by the segwit activation news.

We will see what happens tomorrow. It is a pump and dump coin...and the pump just happened, so I don't expect to see too much.

some of you might not see it but.. with LTC and VIA both having SW the dev working on LN.... maybe the 1st cross chain TX will be VIA/LTC.... think of that for a mo..

New day, new lie (or stupidity) from currypto: That was the new commit from the new developer because he started a new branch after he took over. If you would know how to read it you would see that the project has commits dating back to 2014.

And if its not tomorrow, it is the day after tomorrow... or one day after that. Or after that... Dont you realise something about your "One day I will be right"-logic?

Currypto you must bought at the top and panic sell during the global market crash in the past few weeks and that is because you are being such a hater saying no-sense things..

That or you are an useless programmer and you are going vs Romano  :D

BTW VIA went from ~40k to ~52-53k and now is around ~50k. Its not bad and more pumps are coming for sure.

Have a good day

No, I have not bought Via. And it is now 44k. Told you so :)


Yes those commits are from Bitcoin Core. Show me otherwise. Branches do not suddenly change dates.

Man it's insane how everyone is panicking without providing proof of what they are saying, while I am. Calling me a liar, stupid, mocking me...haha - it will not change what Via is.

To every horse, their rider

i think this coin has been dead , it has been a Long time to wait .. I really dont believe premined VIA and it will not be pump up again

Another hater has come..  :D

It is not premined and 1 year ago its value = 2-3 cents and at this moment (REALLY CHEAP) 1,28$ aprox.

If you think that is a dead coin there is nothing to do with you   ::)

Viacoin is still under development. Lightning Network will be launched soon (allowing atomic cross chain transactions) and the devs will start working on Styx protocol after that (click here to read the Styx whitepaper (https://viacoin.org/whitepaper/Viacoin-Styx.pdf\)). Viacoin hasn't done a lot of marketing yet but that is about to change. I'm not saying that Viacoin will magically go x100 but there is no doubt that it is currently undervalued.

People just call you liar because its just a fact. And nobody is panicking just getting tired of a dumb guy who has no clue and persists of telling things that everyone knows that are just wrong.


Good at least that you openly show that you have no clue, haha.

I would agree - one of the most undervalued coins in crypto right now. It's why I continue to buy more VIA any chance I get :)

VIA is truly scam dont buy and dont think about VIAcoin because it is purely premined and i can not see the future 

It's not even about premining (which I didn't even know about - damn that sucks :))...it's that it's technologically the EXACT SAME as Bitcoin. Via is like Litecoin, except with a different name and way less popular.

And even now Via is falling after a "huge" announcement. Textbook pump-and-dump, it really is. Why would people dump if they believe in such a technology?

VIA cant seem to get above it's high. It may be because there is nothing truly unique about it compared to BTC, LTC, etc. I don't know, I still like it but I am not currently holding, will be watching.

yes me too, via is just need time to take off, i also really like their roadmap, i like mining coin alot more thrn ico coin..

it take effort to get it

Viacoin Core 0.13.3.7 will be released within 24 hours !

https://i.gyazo.com/868e2f481ee2395faa7cfb184ec0a222.png (https://i.gyazo.com/868e2f481ee2395faa7cfb184ec0a222.png)

$VIA is working good. Results are coming!

That should cause another spike - of the sharp, pointy kind

I am more interested in the LN update..

Selling this for a double at 80k in the next alt moon season. Let's hope that the new crypto mcap ath will drive much public fomo.

Directly from Twitter (@Viacoin):

Viacoin Core 0.13.3.7 Released!

Improved noticeable sync time. Syncs faster than ever before.

https://viacoin.org/#Download

$VIA

I'm heading straight to the back with this

"syncs faster than ever before"

You know why right? Again, such a trivial change. 6 characters difference: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commit/7325a43554bae8e5a103ec7af4402360c4025fc1

He multiplied 2 terms by 32, increasing the bandwidth.

You're impressed by that?

This is exactly why Via is going to not make it in the long term. The "development" is just adjusting whatever to make it seem like shit is happening.

Also, that article if anyone is interested in actual facts instead of hype: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070354.msg20677488#msg20677488

Recently bought a small bag of viacoin, already in the green. :D

Active development, steady adoption, potential is there, hodling.

Man, you have to have nightmares with Romano  :D

If you don't like Romano or the coin is ok, respectable, but if you are going to say bad things at least they have to be true.

If he only knew me  :(
I'm pretty funny at least right ?

And yes Viacoin is based on Bitcoin Core. Just like Dash, Litecoin, Doge & other coins.
Well even Zcash is based on Bitcoin Core but 0.11 if I'm right.

It isn't a secret or something.
Based on Bitcoin gives us a good survival rate.

But I can understand that you don't like it.

However I don't have a 20 million dollar ICO coin or something that has a premine :)

Viacoin code is opensource, I just do it as a volunteer.
If you don't like the code, you can submit your own for review.

Read the article, seems like a lazy article if you ask me.  Did you reach out to anyone you mention in your article? Mention otoh support.  Couldve asked him why, instead just offers an assumption.  Mentions romano...just some more assumptions.  Talks about the 1 month delay in segwit, didnt ask why there was a delay which wouldve explained it....overall just a lazy assumption based rambling....and yeah cherry picking commits, moving along.

Ah! Great, now we can get somewhere. Hey Romano!

Lets get to business.

I have looked at those commits.

1. nMinimum chainwork update doesn't have to do with sync speed.
2. Fix headers amplification disables a sync check. It is very minimal. Why didn't you squash these commits?
3. IBD change is the MOST significant. That is why I chose it.

I don't hate Romano. It's nothing against him...I even say in the article is a smart person. Nothing bad at all. I am just pointing out Via is nothing crazy. And he agrees. It is just like Litecoin, Dash, Doge, etc. Do you guys see me saying anything great about those either? No!


Uh, they are true? Do you see Romano saying otherwise?...


Good point, I didn't. I did not reach out to Otoh (why would I? He would just say he believes in the coin). I did not reach out to Romano (why would I? What did I even "assume" here?). I should have mentioned why it was delayed - the pool owner was busy. And I've explained the "cherry picking commits". It was a significant commit that is actually in Romano's favor. I could've picked one that was far less.

Now we are having a good discussion, lets keep it up.

Meh i just had a quick good laugh that you have "fact based cryptocurrency researcher" as part of your signature and the whole article was based on assumptions and opinions. Just funny to me how ironic it was.... ;)

Suddenly because my thoughts on Otoh are an opinion, the entire article is an assumption?...

Nice.

I understand you are only protecting yourself. It's not a problem.

I want to mention too I even put in a good word for Viacoin (does Viacoin have any use?). How come no one talks about that?

No because you want people to read your article and believe it but you didnt attempt to even reach the main developer for comment for you know.... "fact based type research".  Why would your opinion (because thats what it is) be higher than anyone else's at this point.  And protecting myself...um for what....nope just pointing out the facts just like you.

Do you not understand that reaching out to the developer does not change what they've written (actually in the case of git, you can modify history, so reaching out the developer could potentially prompt them to change anything - of course I don't expect this to actually happen, but I take precaution (screenshots))?

Why are you persistent on this?

What other facts would they contribute?

Yes it is a fact I didn't reach out to Romano, lets keep repeating this because surely it disregards everything else.

To be fair, I see and understand a lot of your arguments but they aren't convincing enough to label viacoin as a pump and dump scheme (at least by intention). Development might be a lot of implementing other people's protocol and algorithms but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. It depends on if you believe that there should only be btc and litecoin/dash/via shouldn't exist at all as an alternative to the btc. I don't think this is a winner take all market, and I think there is a lot of merit to certain industries and business to have a slightly adjusted btc that could be easier to conform to their business needs later.

I think keeping it close to Bitcoin core gives it a lot of validity in terms of security and btc has shown viability as a currency. I also think that being able to implement certain protocols without having a community argue about it and threatening with forks is also a plus. At this price point, I think it's just a bet on how fast it can implement all the latest crypto standard(segwit, which it has now, lightning network, atomic swap, etc) and then after those, it's seeing how it'll try to differentiate itself. I don't think just anyone could fork btc now, add segwit, lightning network, ledger support just at will. I also don't think it's easy to get into polo, bittrex and hopefully into some mobile wallet like coinomi by making your own fork. thus I see a lot of merit in a relatively low market cap coin that is as secure as btc and flexible enough to adapt to future potential opportunities. At this point it's all speculation anyways, I rather via then say an oversold ICO like the 150 mill tezos imo.

I've diversified myself with coins at each stage of the market cap and via is at least stable, active, active community and so far hasn't had any real pump and dump trends like parkbyte(consistently seeing it + 60%, - 40%).

Maybe I've been lucky and so far got good returns from via and it might not keep going, but that could be said the same about most coins. I could also have gotten more gains with other coins, but hindsight is 20/20.

* on a side note, I agree with having just 1 main mining pool is bad and we're too dependant on f2pool.
** Also otoh seems cool but following the rich doesn't always get you richer.

No its just another dumb, opinion related piece, in a sea of a zillion.  Dont take offense it is what it is.

I even wrote that Viacoin started out a legit project but has turned into such a coin, just out of its evolution.

I totally agree with everything you have said.

*sigh* Ok Mr.Legendary Wheelz1200. I will agree just so we can move on. You have taught me one valuable thing for next time: reach out to every person I mention. Thank you for that.

I think that it was valuable that someone did do a code audit on how far viacoin has diverged from bitcoin and the pros and cons of the changes. At least this sticks to the principle of investing in the tech you know and believe in.

I definitely think that being a 1 man dev team here with kinda lacking(bad but in this case good) marketing, this coin is not positioning itself to be a pump and dump coin still.

The work romano has done also can't be said to be trivial since not just any dev can jump into a project like this and be able to segwit it on their own and get other protocols working.

The harder question is how much this type of work is valued at and is any of the crypto currencies out there really worth any of the market cap that they have. This is almost all speculation at this point still and there is no right and wrong here.

I really do think that any community (especially crypto) these days should at least be open for people with strong opinions (especially willingness to be wrong) to come in and say their opinions and ask some questions. I love the excitement and love for viacoin but being overly defensible and sensitive to negative opinion would also hurt the coin's image.

Doing a merge is not rocket science - it was not hard for him to "Segwit" Viacoin. Regardless he really is just volunteering, as he said. So I am not surprised at what effort is put into this. This leads me to wonder, how much Viacoin does romanornr have?

I am glad you see that people are being very defensive. I am also open to being wrong, but people have to show me (and others) with real proof that I am.

currypto, if you can do it better or have some improvements let me know.

If you will make a coin better than Viacoin and keeping it alive that would be cool too, I mean you must be a 1337 dev I think?

I apologize for not being good enough for you.
So let's drop the whole convo.

Maybe buying Ethereum, Monero, Ans of Neos is something for you in this case.
Or iota, that's interesting too.

Anyways good luck with your review site. :)

I'm no '1337 dev'. There's no need to apologize, you have done nothing wrong man :) You keep working on Viacoin at the pace and effort you wish. You don't owe anyone anything.

Now can I do better...Only way to know is to actually write a cryptocurrency, or start modifying Bitcoin, which I have no interest to do so.

Thank you and good luck with Viacoin.

I don't plan on buying any of those, heh, but thank you for the suggestion.

A lot of fuss, a lot of discussion, opponents vs proponents

This is good, keep on talking! This thread is one of the most enjoyable

Dev, keep up the good work! I just might add VIA to my portfolio

Well currypto,

I like to develop. Right now I'm gaining extra knowledge about Bitcoin, Segwit & LN.
I also believe in Bitcoin with my heart and soul and I do believe there's some space for alternative coins.

Especially maybe in the future if it ever becomes mainstream.
A Bitcoin based codebase because I do believe in Bitcoin.

Also cool part is, I can find bugs or potential improvements for Bitcoin and Litecoin.
Bitcoin example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10775 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10775)
Litecoin example: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/pull/362 (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/pull/362)

And yeah it delivers me reputation points which great for irl meetups. Had one 2 weeks ago with one of the writers of bitcoinmagazine and xbt.eu to talk about Bitcoin and Segwit.

I'm aware of a few big investors going in heavy on Viacoin.
Maybe because Bitcoin based altcoins without Segwit & LN will die? Maybe.
I idolize the Bitcoin Core developers (They are the real 1337 devs), so I do believe Bitcoin based altcoins are actually the best choice.

Well Decred & Stratis are based on Bitcoin too. Just not written in C++ but Decred in Golang (BTCD) and Stratis in C# (NBitcoin)

Anyways these 'hype' threads are not mine. Just everyone speculating.
Yeah some people praise me a bit too much  :-[ but what to do about that right ?

Anyways I hope we are cool :)

I have the same feeling as you about VIA.

Back in 2014 BTCdrak and Peter Todd were working on VIA, this gave me the expectation that VIA was going to be a mainstream coin so I decided to invest some money in it. In 2014 I bought a lot of VIA when it was at ~12K sat. and I mined a lot of VIA when it was still profitable. However, in contrary to all that was promised there was hardly any development going on, the only thing added was AuxPOW, after this the coin slowly died.

Since there were 10 million coins pre-mined and sold by BTCdrak as ICO to support further development of the coin a lot of investors felt that they were scammed. Romano states that VIA is not pre-mined, this is not true, 10 million coins were pre-mined and sold as ICO, what actually happened with the ICO-money nobody seems to know, it is my impression that some leftover part of the ICO-money is transferred to Romano to support further development of the coin.

At the moment VIA is Litecoin with a shorter block-time and AuxPOW added, nothing new or exiting at all. You may wonder whether we need VIA at all when there is already Litecoin accepted by a large community?

The last months VIA was hyped and pumped a lot because SegWit was going to be added, there are already several other coins with SegWit activated and most of them are implementing off-chain payment and LN, so this is not very special or unique at all.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777136.0

Two months ago when VIA got between 60K and 80K sat. I decided to sell all my VIA because it is my feeling that this was a one time event and that VIA will not reach that level again, whether it was a wise decision or not time will tell.

Welll I wish I had that ICO money. That would have been really great, too bad I don't have it either. (Yes there was an ICO in 2014 but that's not a hidden premine like some stated)
The roadmap is the roadmap, if you think it's nothing unique you already knew that because you saw the roadmap months before you invested.

But if you are planning to make a coin or something unique that will blow Bitcoin out of the water, let me know !

I just think it's a bit unfair to call Via a scam.
I say what it is about, have a roadmap with the details. I'm not claiming like other coins to be the Ethereum killer.

and people invested in (2k sat, 3k sat, 6k sat, 10 or 20k sat) and it went all the way to 80k sat.... Scamming you in profits?

But I'm learning like I said. I don't have a 50 million dollar ICO.
Sure Joost, keep screaming scam.

I knew when I started, being a free coin developer is gonna be one of the most unthankful jobs to do  :)

"At the moment VIA is Litecoin with a shorter block-time and AuxPOW added, nothing new or exiting at all. You may wonder whether we need VIA at all when there is already Litecoin accepted by a large community?"

Well go buy Litecoin instead?
It's just an idea, I don't understand what all the ranting is about.

Or is a guy not allowed to develop his own coin?

And if this auxpow etc is all so easy, why didn't anyone help me?
Or was that too difficult even when you were invested?

I never said that VIA is a scam, but there were a lot of investors feeling betrayed because a lot of development was promised, every three months a major update etc. but in the end almost nothing happened. Anyway this has nothing to do with you, I was talking about 2014 and 2015 when you were not involved with VIA at all.

Nobody seems to know what happened with the ICO, but in the old announcement thread btcdrak clearly says that he is going to transfer the VIA-funds to you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699278.msg16184863#msg16184863

Maybe I interpreted his message in a wrong manner, but I got the impression that he was going to transfer the remains of the ICO-fund, either being it fiat or VIA-coins to you.

Personally I'm not interested in making a coin at all, most of them are just Ponzi schemes, some people are getting very rich and most others are losing a lot of money, the money has to come from somewhere, you cannot create money out of thin air like the FED and ECB do.  

    

We are right behind you, Romano. Everybody knows you're one of the most hardworking developer this side of the cryptosphere

Good analisys. Anway, what about confirmation time? Fees? Mining difficulty?
Also, how can you know Otoh is hodling via?

Wrong interpretation. Not even close to the ICO. Some to host servers for a year (because I was just a uni dropout)

What happened in 2014 wasn't my fault. I wasn't even involved with Viacoin in that time.

But I get the message, basically you don't like altcoins (maximalist) but in that case I think you can complain more about altcoins who didn't do anything in the last 2 years.

Been working & learning for the past 10 months. It doesn't really feel cool to get a bit blamed while 600 other altcoins exist.

Maybe people prefer to buy Viacoin because they think the other coins are overvalued and Viacoin has the same for a lower price and supply. But what do I know right? It's not that I am an experienced trader or something.

And yeah of course people lose money because at the end even in Bitcoin it's a zero sum game. Money doesn't get lost, just transfered.
Seems like natural selection also works online with uhm everything that's being traded. From stocks, bonds, bitcoin to altcoins.

Thanks.

I hope it's all clear now.
Maybe it's an idea to close this thread?

This type of threads just attracts ex investors/traders and people being mad about 2014 when I wasn't involved in Viacoin.

Hey Romanornr . You're doing well . You are always available . You answer questions !
So why are the people dissatisfied . I think many are only envious what you have achieved so far .
Just continue your job. It is OK.Let the others talk !
other speak, you work . I find it absolutely ok

I am so confused why romanornr thinks anything is his fault or hating on him lol...

Damn man...are you even reading what everyone is saying? Nothing is your fault. Chillax.

We are critiquing Viacoin, not you. We understand you are just learning/having fun, and I fully support you keep going.


3 years of trading at least: https://www.tradingview.com/u/RomanoRnr/

Not sure when you would be qualified as "experienced" though.

Well you did call it a scam
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2056418.msg20592013#msg20592013

You can understand I don't think it's "cool" to say that.

Btw Segwit June 28 supposed to be activated?

If mining pools don't signal Segwit, like F2pool didn't, you can have any date you want in the source code, but you need that 75% hashrate to activate Segwit, get it locked_in etc.

Also you claim that I make multiple commits on purpose.
I don't care what people think about the commit activity.

The multiple commits are for myself. Yes myself.
I prefer to know what I did in each commit with a commit message.

That's what.. I think.. Decent developers do.
To know what each commit was for.
You can do everything in 1 commit & don't understand what you all did 6 months later.

And yes, you can critique Viacoin.
It's far from being the best/innovative coin in the world. B
ut it's one up-to-date.  :)

It's an experiment, with merged mining & the low inflation rate.

Is it the first Segwit coin with Scrypt Merged Mining? Yes!
That's all for now.

One of Viacoins game changers was CheckLockTimeVerify but that was introduced in 2014 (not by me).

But it would have been cool if you just reached out to me instead & asked questions instead.

Yeah I get a lot of people are "hyping" it up as the best coin. Not my fault.

1. Yes I initially called it a scam, to shortly after saying it was not fair to say that. Please read the thread history.
2. I did not criticise you for making multiple commits to bloat the commit history. I was justifying why I choose that one commit, and actually talking in your favor.
3. Yeah I know it's not your fault for the 100th time, why are you blaming yourself?


Yes, I will not make the same mistake twice. I had actually reached out to the Shift developers for my other article. Here I thought reaching out to you would not really add anything to the technical analysis. Shift did not have a very good FAQ.

I will say it now for I think the 3rd time? It was not fair to call Viacoin a scam - because it isn't. I even put this in bold on my bitcointalk post where I posted my article!

Well alright than its fine. Seems like it's cleared up  :)
Anyways good luck in crypto and your review site.

This coin is seriously getting eaten up on the exchanges! Whats the deal?

Invested 0.5 btc in this. Now worth about 0.28 btc. The struggle is real.

And only going to fall more.

You want to be right so bad its funny

people need to realize this isn't a P & D coin, the dev is real - the team he is building is powerful..

this coin will explode.

The big OTOH has appeared from his vacation -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1840789.1460

Basically he says that he ll try to get VIA added to BTCC chinese exchange.

Also, Romano has said on his twitter:

"So apparently a random guy thought he was helping Viacoin by recovering the Viacoin private keys from XCH holders of 2014. He played himself"

"This explains the sudden extreme dump. It was a couple days ago. It was not because people suddenly changed their mind overnight."

BTCC will be super amazing if Otoh pulls it off. If not - no worry, LN incoming

I was sold on the coin's features alone
BTCC is cherry on top

Viacoin is cheap and has potential to grow a lot. It has a good team behind it as well.

LN..........

go VIA go

GUYS

go look at the sell orders, no more walls , via is going to run .

These forks are really getting frustrating. Just as alts start to look promising we get a dump.

https://twitter.com/viacoin/status/916204769252962305

so Via with a new project launching and just waiting for the LTC swap.. this is looking like an amazing project.

where can I find logo materials? branding stuff etc

$VIA to the moon ;)

VIA is pretty obvious it will rise. It has been such a high buying pressure, you can see that it didn't drop as much as other altcoins. Whales buying it!

Yes I think VIAcoin definitely can make it into top 100. !!

well a lot of alts are undervalued even though they are a good project and a good team ;)

so its more about having luck and get the pick that goes popular or about waiting long...to have it eventually happen.

But VIA seems solid...quite stable in price over the last time.

VIA  chart looks very bullish. With a good dev team delivering on milestones, it can run
towards $10 in 2018.

Still waiting for this

upcoming $VIA Core 0.15 update will add Merkelized Abstract Syntax Trees. M.A.S.T. allows creating smart contracts

Yes! I love this innovation, Romano is a genius.

This is the most versatile coin I've seen and it has constant development. Anonymity is already huge in crypto and will continue to be a bigger issue as governments try to control it. Styx is in the works for Via which will allow for anonymous transactions. This coin will continue to improve.

Viacoin is the most undervalued coin i have ever seen.
It has some significant features which other coin don't.
It performed well at past.
I don't know why giant investors are not investing on it.
I think VIA's future will be great.

I think that via will be pumped to 3-4 $ soon , but it does not have a reason to go higher right now

We have finished the VIA integration for @generalbytes ATMs. The code has been submitted for review. We will let you know once our pull request gets merged!

VIA is really viable, it has just release a cooperation with General Bytes ATMs, the biggest manufacturer in the business. This will make it a lot more known to the public.

We have started working on Vialectrum 3.0.2. for Windows, Linux and macOS

The world isn't ready for Via.  ;)

hodling this is really exhausting.
dev= very good
product = state of the art
OGs shilled it
THEN there comes shitcoin like vox.
People arent interested in tech (see syscoin too). If there was some sort of rl adoption right now  via would be one of the top coins.
its a long way and I will keep hodling!

VIA is one of the older coins, nice to see attention on it. Possibly a candidate which rises to the top 10 again in the upcoming 2018

Viacoin is very undervalued, I predict a 1 billion marketcap in 2018, maybe even more, it all depends also on bitcoin how btc will move in the next months. But currently its at a great price to accumulate! I am waiting for the mega moon!

It says it all about the crypto space when Via can't break $3 and stay there, but there are a dozen shit coins that can. People don't recognise quality when they see it.

Via is fucking amazing.

any major updates on this quarter ?

The Viacoin Copay beta is now available on Windows and macOS. The Linux version will be released later this week.
Viacoin Copay is perfect for storing and spending Viacoin or sharing it with friends and family.
