I'm more of a trader (my passion) than a coin 'zealot'. So I look into lots of coins. If you follow my posts, I'm slowly transferring to LTC due to a (in my opinion) a brewing shit storm coming in BTC land. You are aware that Gavin is pushing for his XT hard fork, right? It could wreck BTC.
But anyway, I noticed VIA could have reached it's lows and there's no way but up. So I've been looking into VIA and other coins like XMR besides LTC to 'park' funds. But the volume isn't there, though one draw for me is Peter Todd.
Also one quick question for Drak. Would it be possible to make Clearwallet store BTC as well? I think this could draw more users towards Clearinghouse and VIA.

Focus on both. People won't buy into VIA if the volume is so low even if good, accurate articles were written about it. And if something is traded in an open market, volume is more important than price. The more exchanges VIA is listed at would mean the more access the people would have to it.
And lastly, have fun and don't take yourselves seriously. This ain't even real 'money'...

Ryan, are you Timothy Sykes?

I have said this before... Last year, I think. VIA needs to be listed in BTC38. A Chinese exchange could help with liquidity/volume.

What does this mean in Clearwallet? "Got an error when trying to sync VIA balances: timeout"
Also, Drak, any plans to make asset to asset trading possible or does everything has to be traded thru XCH?

Ok thanks. Such a waste of tech. No one's using Clearinghouse. Can it do asset to asset trading or all assets have to go through viacoin?
There's a Viacoin community coin (vialove) create an account and I'll send you some, if you would like to try it.  Created a Clearwallet. Here's my address Vk8YL6DshSCRLQELdW6k9Xv53wXjzxDVSu Seriously, I honestly didn't really look into Clearinghouse... It looks good. Thanks for pointing me to it. |

Yeah man. I mean seriously.. It's so slow.
You can say that again. Why is it so slow? Don't know. Maybe there's only one node. |

I think this is becoming an impediment for people getting into VIA.

Btw... Syncing is still super slow. Any more suggestions?

Anyone who is pro-blacklisting pretty much in my mind doesn't really care about bitcoin.
Blacklisting coins or "working" with governments to "freeze" certain addresses or coins, pretty much renders bitcoin useless.
I thought Satoshi created this "experiment" so that governing bodies can not regulate or control our money?
What happened to all that? What about being your own bank?
Blacklisting coins opens a pandora's box that I think is unimaginable and quite sad for bitcoin's future.
Yes maybe, but as you say the box is open. If bitcoins are regulated and fail, then litecoins will take over. If those fail then maybe monero, dash, or (cough) doge will take over. It is a tidal wave and it cant be stopped no matter how many fingers you poke into the holes in the dam. Good point, even if they make bitcoin into the regulated, blacklisted, paypal of crypto it would be suicide considering all the alternatives that people could use to circumvent the "law". maybe the dreaded AOL era is near bitcoin and the next coin will become everything bitcoin wasn't. Unfuckwithable That's what supposed to happen. One big reason why most of us deny it is because we are invested in it. |

I believe Gavin and Hearn have the best intentions in mind. I don't think it's as sinister as many are making it seem. This is clearly a major issue that needs to be addressed, and the blocksize must be raised regardless of your politics. Now we need to find a consensus of how to do it the "right" way.
Nay... Man is moved by only two things: Self interest and fear. |

Because he doesn't want to end up like these two bums...  |

PT still on board. That is nice. As a scientist, I know how slow science can be. However, he could communicate his progress or lack thereof in a short blog post on the blog... Would be a nice move.
That's good to hear. This project is always in my watchlist because of him. |

Yeah. Patiently waiting.
Btw. Is Peter Todd still on board? Just wondering...
Full resync usually takes under 2 hours for me, but if you got really unlucky with nodes, you can try stopping viacoin, removing peers.dat and starting over: this way you will get another set of nodes from DNS seed and may have more luck with these. Regarding Peter Todd, he is. Keep in mind he is doing Science, as was always the case. Cool. Thanks. |

"just let bitcoin split into multiple children of itself. people will choose whichever they like. like it already is with the existence of altcoins, it is inevitable that the future will be one of competing cryptos. just let it be." A post from a guy called "guy" in the comment's section... https://coinreport.net/what-the-block-size-debate-says-about-bitcoin/I was leaning towards Core, but after reading that comment. I agree. Just let it be. The code rolled out to XT requires 90 % nodes participating before the fork occurs. I sure would hate to be on the chain with 10% of the hashing power and 10% of the nodes. Actually, Mike Hearn plans to go ahead with the fork tho even if it has minority mining power btw ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=99&v=DB9goUDBAR0I am not sure if that is wise. In the video he says he blames the miners if it comes to that. I dont think thats fair, tho. If two sides can not agree, you can not blame the other side for not folding and going your way. It takes two idiots to have a fight, so to speak. Both sides are too blame for the dispute. Actually this debate is trending in the wrong direction, in terms of getting more personal and using ad-hominem attacks (from both sides). Both sides need to respect others choices and opinions. A 'civil war' would be bad for bitcoin. Yep. The reason why I transferred to LTC. Looking for other alts to park tho... LTC shot up wtf? |

Change name to Gavincoin. |
