bullish on via the closer to we are to ether release
Can you fill me in on the Ether connection? I see via as a cheap alternative to ether that works now instead of in a month. I expect via to mirror ether and go up in price the closer to the launch date of ether. same as ltc to bitcoin dogecoin to ltc vericoin to blackcoin (In their heyday they were great, now they suck, but vericoin was built as a blackcoin competitor. ) |

buy at firesale prices, that's how you make crazy money. buy order at 15-20k to catch any more people that can't bare to hold into next week.

hmmm to buy or not to buy
?
To finally add my two cents, initial buy on the news of Todd beginning of August. 100 BTC + everyone else arriving late and seeing coindesk after. Speculation builds it along with manipulation to 70K. Shake down planned, but group with initial buy see BTC prices slipping down fast. Interest in VIA wavering on 12th / 13th AUG (possibly a lot of distraction from BTC crashing) group decided to cash out [chunks adding up well past 100btc along with plenty of panic sells, possibly just a small overall profit] to sell and buy BTC possibly knowing about the drop to 450 it experienced. Not sure what the latest dump was if it was related to them or another whale wanted more pressure whilst the 'group' had sold out. It's possible this could drop further with people cashing out initial investments at 6100 which they missed opportunity at 10x got too greedy, or the group could be waiting for BTC to trend upwards / news round of news about Todd. Hope that was constructive! I'm re-buying in this area for now yep, buy orders low 30's for now. come on bitches, you you got any more ? |

everyone is going to want to hold via for when ether launches. very similar projects, but its like a start up Microsoft splitting off from Apple in the 80s. Let see who comes out on top in the 90's  |

For anybody who is interested and cant see why via is better at doing what counterparty should do. check the block explorer for counterparty and notice the times between blocks. when you are p2p trading these block times need to be fast so orders match and assets exchange quickly. While your waiting for counterparty you could have missed a better price or worse price. http://blockscan.com/tx.aspx?p=1I agree Viacoin is vastly superior, my only fear is as block rewards continue to go down the risk of a 51% attack increases. It seems to me that merged mining would secure the blockchain better. If I'm wrong about the current risk to the network please correct me. I own some Via but would love to buy more because I believe in it's potential, just haven't pulled the trigger because I don't understand how the network will operate securely in the future. its really not a big concern for scrypt/alt based coins. It sort can, but it gets orders of magnitude harder then bitcoin's 51% chances |

interesting XCH discussions. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=734674.msg8320265#msg8320265 Quote from: BTCdrak
As it stands there is no way to auto-settle contracts where VIA is one half of the trade so at the moment there is no solution. However, because we are in control over both Viacoin and ClearingHouse, there may be changes we can make. This is the important thing to understand here. Mastercoin and Counterparty have been trying to work around a very unwilling bitcoin for all this time. If we need to change something in Viacoin, we can do it without fear. Those projects on the other hand have to dodge bullets as Bitcoin Core outlaws more and more stuff to block what they deem as blockchain spam. |

After playing around with Counterparty for a few weeks I've found that one of the show-stopping failures of its design is the fact that after placing a buy order you must stay online until the orders match, with Counterwallet open for the BTCpay to go through. If the buyer's Counterwallet is no longer open, your sell order will match but the BTCpay will never happen, the match will expire, and your order may or may not be rematch with another order, or the same unfunded order again. This causes the market bid/ask to get crossed, and the orderbook to get stuffed with tons of fake bids that no one intends to fill.
Just curious if Clearwallet will suffer some from the same design flaw and if you have any strategy to alleviate it?
Valid point. I have the same experience. But this was only when you used BTC to buy something as I described before. If you used XCP to buy another asset, this was not a problem. By analogy I expect similar problems here when VIA is used to buy some other asset on the decentralized exchange. This is why I said that XCH will be useful for trading on the decentralized exchaange. VIA will be more useful for direct payments (and fees of course). But maybe Drak has different plans. He should explain this. As it stands there is no way to auto-settle contracts where VIA is one half of the trade so at the moment there is no solution. However, because we are in control over both Viacoin and ClearingHouse, there may be changes we can make. This is the important thing to understand here. Mastercoin and Counterparty have been trying to work around a very unwilling bitcoin for all this time. If we need to change something in Viacoin, we can do it without fear. Those projects on the other hand have to dodge bullets as Bitcoin Core outlaws more and more stuff to block what they deem as blockchain spam. that's a really good point. this alone can make via a powerhouse. Viacoin is in a position to truly innovate. |

U wabnt more funding? 370,000$ not enough from community? ppls cant see u are stealing their money, lol
and u issue like 0.45 btc to logos n stuff. u spent maybe 2 out of 600 btc on via yet ahahahah
He also hired two other developers to work with him. I'm 99% sure they are getting paid. Would you rather have this project be underfunded and fail like everything else or be fully funded with a strong team? No more fly by night coins. |

now I understand why viacoin could not be a POS coin, you need inflation to counter the deflation caused by XCH
guy is a genius

Hello Viacoin-holders. Like others here, I was drawn into Viacoin due to the Peter Todd hiring news (and talk about a bargain, at $50/hour, Peter kind of sold himself short in my opinion). But I'm struggling in understanding Viacoin's services set out in this roadmap ( http://blog.viacoin.org/2014/07/11/the-story-of-viacoin.html). What services does Viacoin plan on offering? Is Clearinghouse basically a party-to-party escrow-type service whereby users must use XCH to setup contracts? And what kind of contracts are we talking here? Lastly how do treechains fit into this? JL check out the viacoin blog, specifically Viacoin Hires Peter Todd |

via at 44k... wow
if you liked it at 44k you must love it at 55!  I think anything under 100k is still pretty cheap for only 10 million coins. 200-400k seems about right. |

these are some sweet logos !
