Nice idea. I'm not into websites anymore though. I only trust decentralized blockchains. I'm excited for the day when blockchains can be searched instantly. I hope you move this project to a blockchain one day in the future.
Since only the extended public key is submitted there is no trust involved because no private components are contained within the public key  |

Not sure how interested any of you will be about this but I'm developing a web app that uses cryptocurrency keys to cryptographically identify the origin of a product using BIP32 complient public keys. The library I'm using supports Viacoin out of the box so implimentation further down the line should be trivial. Here is a link to the dev site in case anyone would like to test it out - cryptoproof.infoI have a whole synopsis written out but I dare not post it here and incur the wrath of Drak so I will only post the opening paragraph Cryptographic Proof Of Production is a method of identification by which users who submit their cryptocurrency extended master public keys which comply to the BIP32 standard can have their identity inferred by checking if a subsequent cryptocurrency address is a product (subkey) of the submitted master public key.
Head over to the 'Project development' section of bitcointalk if you would like to learn more Cheers and go Viacoin! |

VIA is mentioned in the new Coindesk report about 2.0 technology and industry.
How do you know that? Cost report is 99$.

An uncomplicated way to get testnet coins at last, thank you sir  |

Yeah... I only see 2 options. Either:
#1 "It will go down"
or
#2 "it will go up"

"Information gathered is notarized through the ClearingHouse protocol on the Viacoin Blockchain for "cryptographic time-stamping of digital assets and documents," as described by Viacoin. Viacoin is a cryptocurrency, which was introduced in July, aside with ClearingHouse, a decentralized asset issuance and Blockchain notary service. It also hired Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd as Chief Scientist and advisor back in August." MOON!!!!!!  |

Fellas, if you want to see a price rise let me know and I'll sell my stake which usually sends the price soaring.
Alternatively if you wish to see the price decline I can continue holding my stake which has not yet failed to send the value plummeting.
I'm an atheist you see.

...if you counted the number of actual participants on this epic thread you'd see there's not so many people actually talking.
Lol, there are about 8 of us and we make the market move  |

This is the official ANN and just like the last time this was attempted, I will not cross post.
Ah yes, now I remember  |
|
|
|
Since there is a lot of buzz at the moment and more community members will be reading the thread than usual, why not create an unmoderated adjacent thread? Perhaps Drak would be so kind as to link to it on the ann page or something? problem solved  |

This situation looks like another community takeover.
It isn't. Please do not fud. At such low levels the price jumps are huge in terms of %, exciting time if you are trading And I like that timeline thing as well. |

I hope that spam post by @Truthfull gets removed, it helps nothing and has no basis in reality at all. Stupid fudster.
Drak censoring the thread is a bit silly imho, I myself had most of my posts deleted due to discussing the price and commenting that the zynga news looked like a scam which made it all the more surprising to find out that BCT is considered such an unimportant outlet for news regarding the coin, why sensor the thread in the first place then?
And I got called a troll by some of the more cultish coin devotees which hurt my feelings and demotivated me from participating again until recently.
Drak stated that he set out to produce a technically proficient coin which was more feature rich and resistant to centralised mining than bitcoin, there was an initial ICO price which the coin stayed high above for a very long time and he used the funds raised to do things like employ the most publicly notable developer after Andresen.
I heard him on "lets talk bitcoin" promoting the viacoin ideology and treechain technology with some collaboration from the bitmessage team as they faced some similar problems so far as I understand it.
It's no secret that from the very beginning this has been a coin of innovative features and solid code, if what you're looking for is hype then you should head over to the doge thread where you belong.
If you're an investor in via it should be because you believe its technological direction to be superior to bitcoin and win out over time. If you don't understand what implementations like CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY are or what it does then you're an idiot for investing in a product you do not understand or cannot be bothered to investigate which is totally your own fault.
The silence has been deafening these past few months and Drak did f**k up in that respect, communication is a BIG DEAL but I'm quite sure that mistake wont be made again any time soon.
Viacoin is undervalued and underrated right now but that is the case for crypto in general, there is nothing 'extra bad' happening here.
Counterpartys XCP is currently trading near 0.006 BTC and it's crap! it's slow as hell. Have you ever tried using it? It's a nightmare.
But i do use clearwallet and I would happily use it every day of the week. I even conducted a small IPO for a bitcoin app I wrote on there (unsuccessfully though as I failed to raise enough funding for the app to support itself).
If you aren't looking at the current price of viacoin as an amazing opportunity right now then the fudsters causing the dip probably are.

At work a very sheltered staff member once suggested that we rip up the main road outside and replace it with fresh tarmac to make it easier to walk on with high heels. I think all you people talking about a slogan change are like her. Are you going to suggest a new logo next? #outsidethebox |

If Steve Jobs himself was dumping Apple stocks on the market, would that give shareholders confidence in holding their Apple shares?
He did, and it didn't. |

Quick question, given enough time would all (or most) advanced civilisations discover primecoin? Lets say that europe and china never encountered each other for some reason but both had developed computer technology, wouldn't they eventually each come up with primecoin independently? Then lets pretend they finally met, what would that mean for their blockchains, could they be merged somehow? Are there other implications that result from scenarios such as this and what would be the meaning of them (if any)? On another note, if one of the blockchains was older than the other and more primes had been found, wouldn't it be possible to simply submit (copy and paste) the results from the older one into the younger one and mine coins from it without doing any work? Thanks |

For those who may be looking for a way to implement this I have a template in my github repo here using python 2.7 |

Just wanted to say, it's nice to see some activity in the thread again |
