I was not aware of the drama before though, anyone care to recap in a sentence or two? The only thing that we her is that now that Romano took over it is good. Why did he take over, what was wrong with the old coin and team?

See the Ann announcement. Below you will see a reddit link.

Is this the old vanilla coin?

No you are confused with Vcash [XVC] by John Connor,
This is Viacoin [VIA]

What about those who still have XCH from the original Viacoin??
Whats going on with ClearingHouse??

Ask in the XCH Ann, not in the VIA ann. Currently working on Viacoin.
If I have XCH plans, I will do an official announcement.

So you can not implement segwit until Jihan Wu changes his attitude as he is behind Bitcoin unlimited???

Now Jihan secret is out, I don't think Jihan can keep blocking Segwit on F2Pool.

Also they are blocking it atm, do you think Bitcoin Unlimited will win?
Are we planning to sell Bitcoins now?

Do we see Bitcoin Core devs stopping with Segwit because 1 Chinese man child is playing around?

quitting is not an option.
I'm an honest Developer with a good reputation, I told Bitcoin magazine the situation and how I see it.

But hey, F2Pool might stop blocking Segwit on altcoins in order to clean up his name.
That would be the right strategy.

But hey who am I right? I don't hold anyone back to buy Trump, Lepen and some weed coins.
Personally I just look at a longterm perspective. They can't keep blocking it.

Meanwhile, I just keep improving Viacoin Core code & extra testing.
Also working on new stuff like ElectrumX

Nice job Romano! Many good quotes!

For the lazy people these are his contributions:

“What we are seeing is a stalling tactic from miners,” Viacoin lead developer Romano told Bitcoin Magazine. “They know that if SegWit activates on altcoins, it will make blocking it on Bitcoin even less credible.”

SegWit signaling will start soon on Viacoin, but Romano is not very optimistic about quick activation: “It seems more likely they want to refrain from activating Segregated Witness on altcoins because that would give them even less reason to hold off activation on Bitcoin.”

Romano went even further. “Maybe F2Pool are under some hidden pressure or coercion, and are trying to make a plausible cover story. It is well known that Jihan Wu of Bitmain controls the supply of about 70 percent of the mining hardware. His mining pool is blocking SegWit on Bitcoin, and he is able to exert pressure on miners and pools by sanctioning new equipment sales should they go against his wishes.”

Jihan Wu reply

But not even 3 days later...

In conclusion: I was right. Jihan Wu is lying. He does pressure miners & pools. He just got exposed

Ranked 57 on Coingecko BTW. It passes a lot of the larger market cap coins because of developer interest and buzz.

Ranked 57?! With my activity?? Should be in the top 20!

Well it makes sense. Coingeko links to the old Viacoin repository and not my fork & the private Gitlab repository.

So I can argue, it should actually be ranked higher.
But Alright, doesn't matter just as long as you guys know it

Sharp people remember I work on my own account and Gitlab

8k to 10k satoshis, obviously.

Yes, 8k to 10k satoshis. I can see a 3 million dollar marketcap for VIA with all this BTC forking crap coming our way.

On the short run this is quite possible. On the long run, I would expect it to reach at least the top 50 on Coinmarketcap, so that would be a value of about 20k sat (5 mln USD).

I think you need to at least do something to generate buzz. Is Segwit active yet? Should make a huge deal out of that.

I was already planning that in December.
I or someone else can make a server running a Viacoin node.
Just do a rpc call & parse the command getblockchaininfo

Put it into json, make an api of it.

Call the api with javascript on the Viacoin website.
Since the Viacoin site server has no backend language like php, nodejs or Ruby. Which is safer.

Impressive stuff! You did thus quicker than I expected. I'm getting worried that your nice road map is useless soon as you created everything already. :-D

Thanks! uuuhmmm yeah I clear out the roadmap faster then expected.
Well need some testing to do for ElectrumX

Working on a Viacoin ElectrumX implementation. Which will be 10 times faster than the old Vialectrum Server.
SegWit compatible

ElectrumX comparison
The image below shows the difference of sync time between Bitcoin Electrum&ElectrumX.
For Viacoin it will be faster

Viacoin Core 0.13.2.1 transactions have been tested successfully.

Transactions work fine

"Please update wallets immediately to avoid losing coins"

I don't understand this part. It's a softfork right?
Are people really losing coins or is it just something to say to make people update?

If that's it, haha pretty creative I guess.

I think it's just hyperbole to get people to update, but maybe miners could get screwed if they don't update?

miners will not be forked off of the network. Segwit uses BIP9 versionbits

Well with wrong code they hard forked their coin the last time.
Everyone had to downgrade.

So I'm asking, is this the Segwit with wrong code & just hardfork because YOLO or is it a cool marketing stunt?

That's indeed my Viacoin Core 0.13.2 node.
Keep an eye on this BTCT ANN. I tend to post news first on Bitcointalk.

Anyways I hope everyone is just as excited as I am. I have some more news pending & some great changes

hm, tommorow volume will be 1btc, it's ridiculous

You can either Sell or Buy to make the volume go up.
If you don't have it, ask someone else for a loan.
