Seems to be getting delayed to tomorrow (according to BTChip)

Lol yeah VIA is down, just like the entire altcoin market. I can't do much about that, only continue development.

I'm working on Viacoin Lightning Network Daemon (LND)

Creating channels.
Closing channels.
Completely managing all channel states (including the exceptional ones!).
Maintaining a fully authenticated+validated channel graph.
Performing path finding within the network, passively forwarding incoming payments.
Sending outgoing onion-encrypted payments through the network.
Updating advertised fee schedules.
Automatic channel management (autopilot).

 BOLT 1: Base Protocol
 BOLT 2: Peer Protocol for Channel Management
 BOLT 3: Bitcoin Transaction and Script Formats
 BOLT 4: Onion Routing Protocol
 BOLT 5: Recommendations for On-chain Transaction Handling
 BOLT 7: P2P Node and Channel Discovery
 BOLT 8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport
 BOLT 9: Assigned Feature Flags
 BOLT 10: DNS Bootstrap and Assisted Node Location
 BOLT 11: Invoice Protocol for Lightning Payments

This is all technical. But it's the required step for a Viacoin version of Lightning Network Wallet "Zap".
Zap was created by Jack Mallers: https://medium.com/@JimmyMow/announcing-zap-a-lightning-network-wallet-47622acd89fb

Not yet, hoping the designer does his work quick. Btw Atomic Swap is a bit more exciting than the roadmap atm !

Miners would be paid by transaction fees.

Just initiated a Viacoin Atomic swap with Decred Atomic Swap codebase.
(Yes I almost rewrote Viacoin in golang as alternative implementation).

https://github.com/viacoin/viad
https://github.com/viacoin/atomicswap

inb4 people ask "What is atomic swap?"

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/atomic-swaps-how-the-lightning-network-extends-to-altcoins-1484157052/

Charlie Lee: "Another benefit is atomic cross-chain transactions via LN. Two users can trade BTC and LTC instantaneous and without risk. Efficient decentralized exchanges are now possible. Or what if a merchant accepts only BTC but you only have LTC. You can now pay LTC and exchange them instantly through a LN exchange node and send BTC to the merchant. That’s basically decentralized ShapeShift. One last thing I thought of recently is the ability to balance lopsided payment channels on both lightning networks. There are probably millions of other cool things that SegWit and LN open up that we have yet scratched the surface of."

Decred tweet:

Mike, a community member.

It's easy to forget BTCT.

I am working on a Viacoin alternative implementation in golang.

github.com/viacoin/viad

This will be used for the Zap wallet and Decred Atomic Swap.

Charlie Lee (Litecoin Dev) tweeted to my personal twitter account that we could do an atomic swap between Viacoin and Litecoin.

For everyone who follows my personal Twitter account, they have probably seen it.

That might be because of I'm not running the twitter account anymore. :p

So when do we start to throw a couple million dollars of ICO money to them?

Anyways https://cointracking.info/

There's this app called "Blockfolio" which is basically free.

If something is not on the roadmap, it does not mean I will take users not serious. I will always end up doing more stuff than the roadmap says.

I will revaluate the roadmap but I probably need to Charlie Lee first.

Btw what you did read was the whitepaper, not the new roadmap. The roadmap has to be released first

I never had contact with Blocknet and Komodo.
I know the Litecoin devs (I'm in their slack Dev chat) and made some commits to the Litecoin repository. But that's it. Yes work will be done on atomic swaps. 

I don't know what ETC has to do in your story. That's not a SegWit coin or a coin that works on a decentralized exchange.

hi @KindHearted thanks for the compliment, I am definitely not the best developer but I'm learning. For a "one man show" atm, I think I'm doing it decent.
But like scambus says, it's too much praise.

And yes I think it's hilarious that someone with another  Ethereum ICO coin in his profile talks about sheeps.
His last statement is a bit strange.. I don't think he should  talk for Bitcoin Core.

Ledger funds have been paid.
It took some time because I live in Europe and it had to be
On the name of someone outside Europe.

I chipped in the last required €4.5K out of my personal funds (I promised to buy the last 10% but that bitcoin dip made me pay some extra... Eh luck wasn't on my side)

Anyways the €20k have been paid.
I wanna thank Cliffa, Otoh, Mike, Miner Jones and all the other backers/donators for raising most of the funds.

I know it has been a few terrible months for altcoins
I can't speak for the other altcoins but I got some great things coming up for Viacoin.

I think you guys will like the new roadmap.

Update:
A new Viacoin roadmap will be published soon.
Work is being done atm on Viacoin Core 0.15

Official tweet: https://twitter.com/viacoin/status/907267396414656513

Yes I continue to work
But as a dev I am always a bit scared to check this Ann when prices went down a bit.
Usually it's because of Bitcoin price action but this time I suspect it has to do a lot with China.

Yobtc still wants to add us but they are busy atm because of the News from China.

I assume you run Windows.

Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:
explorer %APPDATA%\Viacoin
Viacoin's data folder will open. For most users, this is one of the following locations:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Viacoin (Windows 7 and 10)

You will see a wallet.dat file. Copy/save that.

The best way is to export your privkey. In Help  > console
dumpprivkey "myaddress"

That will give you the privkey.

and to import for your other computer.
importprivkey "mykey"
