Dear all,
We are in the process of designing the way seeders should earn their token (transferable to VTR) from seeding, as torrent file seeding normally divided into pieces, in the beginning we will implement static piece size (most likely 512Kb pieces) and have user settable demand price per piece.
For example, 700mb file, if user pre-defined price at 0.5 VTR per piece
700*1024/512 = 1400 pieces
Then users would earn roughly around 700 VTR for 700mb file, AND only if he is the only user seeding this torrent at that given moment.
In real-life scenarios, users only earn from the pieces they contributed or seeded to the network, and seeders are earning from leachers not VTR network.
If anybody have any suggestions or ideas about how we should reward the seeders, please PM me or reply in thread.
Regards,
vTorrent

Dear all,
As of now, only vTorrent Core is open sourced, and the reason we need to keep our full client (2FA included) closed source is to prevent other dev to clone our work and claim it as their own (or falsely claim as their project being one of the first to implement those features).
When Bittorrent part of vTorrent is reveal in a few release from now, hopefully our project will then be wildly known in crypto-currency space and the decision to open sourced other part of our project will then be considered again.
Regards,
vTorrent

Anyone have a bootstrap for VTR? We were trying to update to the latest version but it looks like it requires an entire blockchain resync ;(
Thanks

Hi Richie, I posted one recently which was at about block 1,000,000--you can find it by searching through my posts under my username. Should only take a bit after that; if it doesn't work for some reason let me know and I'll pop out a fresh one when I have a moment. Thanks but i think we got it sorted out. Is there still an active dev on the project? The bug for validateaddress still exists which is why the faucet and bittrex are having problems. Basically it comes down to this, before coins are sent anywhere, people usually do a "validateaddress" on an address. You check for "isvalid: true" and make sure that the "address" that comes back out is the same one you passed in. For VTR, this returns, thus anytime you try and validate an address before sending coins, it fails. If the dev would fix this, we could address the problem with withdrawals to stealth addresses. vtrcoin validateaddress xr15yLa9wNadfgvWskNMTLhQSZZhixUaUrBHRQEFaxLRLP864rcqEf5P1QR9WNBksajN1QZCDu5Lc7P c8vTuUW8u5PzahvcvP52S8H { "isvalid" : true, "ismine" : true, "address" : "XZww38dEzKrxkWoyNVsYn4UG8epA8x1vsa" } You can always withdraw to a non stealth address as a temporary workaround. Thanks, Richie PS. do not try to send to the non stealth address of your bittrex stealth address. It wont work. Dear all, All of this issue should be fixed with better compatibility for services and exchanges with the latest commit on Github. vTorrent is the ONLY Crypto-Currency that support RPC command such as "validateaddress" and "dumpprivkey" on stealth address. I will also be publishing daemon binary with 2FA fully supported soon. Regards, vTorrent |

I have a problem receiving requests from the vTorrent faucet.
Bittrex gave me an address that seems rather long:
xr1BBSdh84b79WshZYryAFhJgpsboMcYjLLMLLEkZLYkJNjtc29kFHuSmGRMrueEGkUqcBuQipgfJo8 DFvUCpXmemRazAkF3CPCU1b
Somehow the faucet truncates it to xr1BBSdh84b79WshZYryAFhJgpsboMcYjLLMLLEkZLYkJNjtc29kFHuSmGRMrueEGkUqcB
Neither one works. I have made many requests and received nothing. Also asked Bittrex for a new address that work. They refuse, claiming that the address correct working address.
Hello rocks64, Please check the space in your address, your address is valid. 
vtr081-test12@:~$ ./vtorrent_cli validateaddress xr1BBSdh84b79WshZYryAFhJgpsboMcYjLLMLLEkZLYkJNjtc29kFHuSmGRMrueEGkUqcBuQipgfJo8DFvUCpXmemRazAkF3CPCU1b
{
"isvalid" : true,
"ismine" : false

About the torrent implementation, currently uploading and seed ratio to generation of TOKEN (which is interchangeable to VTR in client) by seeding algorithm is already implemented but we are now in the process of implementing an anti-cheat system in our BitTorrent Engine as there are many known ways for users to spoofs their upload and cheat their share ratio with tools such as Tracker-Pro, RadioMaster, mRatio and GreedyTorrent which acts as a proxy between client and tracker.
If users are able to cheat their seed ratio, our whole system would then be corrupted.

vTorrent

Really interesting method, indeed. I'll look into it, thanks. Regards, vTorrent |

Why does one leecher need a bittrex trading tab ?
cash out your regular VTR income? Hello, The main reason that I have implemented the trading feature in vTorrent client is that I want the user to be able to do everything vTorrent related from the client itself. For people who are new to vTorrent or new to Crypto-Currency, they wouldn't have to go look around or look up google to find their way to get their first VTR. With trading feature in place, user can learn about Bittrex or any other exchange that trades VTR and transfer VTR between exchanges right from our client.  I have plan to implement auto-sale and many other feature to further improve the trading tab in future releases of our client. Regards, vTorrent |

So vtorrent has kindly let me try out the new wallet (minus torrent features); I've been asked to keep the file private but can share screenshots here. https://i.imgur.com/GMjysoT.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/0muQofi.pngSo yes, it does exist. It is functional, it is pretty slick and barring the blockchain completely syncing (it is taking some time) it looks quite nice. There is a BitTorrent section, but it has been deactivated on this particular copy of the program (vtorrent stated that it would be without torrent functionality as this is still in private testing) New features: -multiple windows for trading on bittrex -2FA via Google Authenticator -Key management -HD addresses -Block explorer Regarding the lack of any update on torrent functionality this is what vtorrent said on December 31st, 2014: Since Magnetz scam, I prefer to keep all the details about torrent implement from public until we release our first beta client with torrent implemented. As to when to expect torrent release, I have no information. hmmm... ?!  That's because its still syncing. The progress bar is on the bottom left. I did say in my post that it wasn't fully sync'd yet. In any case that page annoyingly only shows the blockchain 5 parts at a time. Hope it shows the full blockchain on final release.  Fixed, it is now showing 10 at the time, please keep in mind that block data is a direct feed from client's blockchain, so the client needs to be synced up in order to show current block data. Regards, vTorrent |

Thanks for the reply, I installed QT creator with QT 5.5 and that didn't work so I reverted to 5.2.1 and that seemed to fix it, now I get this error: ../vTorrent-Client-master/src/smessage.cpp:40:23: fatal error: secp256k1.h: No such file or directory
#include <secp256k1.h>

When executing step "Make" Any ideas? Please grab latest libsecp256k1 from https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1 and build it on your system. libsecp256k1 is built using autotools: $ ./autogen.sh
