Is the only vialectrum server offline ?

By the way the project looks very promising. It even feels to me like some bitcoin 2.0 rather then another alt because of fixing problems that really matter.

Regards.

Sorry some maintenance atm. Pretty important.
Use this backup server: vialectrum.bitops.me

Btw anyone can setup an vialectrumx server.
If anyone wants to set one up, please do, I will add your server to the new vialectrum client I will be releasing.

I can see 3 nodes with ViacoinCore 0.13.2.1, and 100ghs+ increase on the hashrate, whats going on?

uhm, is that a good or bad thing?

I'm having a lot of problems trying to sync my wallet again. I have installed viacoin wallet as other times, puth there my wallet.dat backup and started to sync. All seems to go well, six connections, network downloading working nice, but when I get at height 22800 aprox sync stops and while network continues to donwload info, blockchain doesn't grow any more. Any ideas, viacoin.conf examples or similar to solve this. Never have this problem before

It probably keeps syncing but the gui interface isn't always correct. Bitcoin Core wallet often has/had this too.
Try the CLI with the -getinfo command.

Hi everyone..
Why wallet qt not work on my computer? win32. Are need conf. file? where is .conf file if need it?
My balance at viaelectrum wallet, but electrum wallet still error.
thanks

If you use Linux, the conf file should be in ~/.viacoin/ directory. If it's not, create one.

Close the electrum wallet, restart your computer. Electrum wallet should work again. I had this too once.
I'm working on a renewing electrum and making it work better then ever.

Personally, I always use the Viacoin core wallet.

I also get this error. Restarting didn't fixed this.

Btw anyone can setup an vialectrumx server.
If anyone wants to set one up, please do, I will add your server to the new vialectrum client I will be releasing.

Simple vps will be enough to handle load ?

First up, I already posted the solution. https://github.com/vialectrum/vialectrum/issues/6

Second, No not a simple VPS (Why most coins don't have electrum) but it's always good if community members do something like setting up their own server.
That's to keep the network decentralized.
Example: Amazon AWS servers go down & an electrum server is hosted on it.

I fix the code etc, but everyone else has the power to keep it decentralized.

great, more hashrate

damn those bastards dumping! I'm not selling even 1 coin, will wait it out.

Not sure why there was a rush to implement segwit, it's not needed on this coin & anyone merge mining viacoin with p2pool (me included) will be unable to mine it once segwit comes into effect.

acquired more VIA, thanks for the opportunity!

Not sure why there was a rush to implement segwit, it's not needed on this coin & anyone merge mining viacoin with p2pool (me included) will be unable to mine it once segwit comes into effect.

you should read this:

No SegWit's main purpose isn’t a capacity increase. It's for fixing malleability & making scripting easier to upgrade.
It also fixes some long-standing issues, like quadratic hashing.

With third-party and scriptSig malleability fixed, the Lightning Network is less complicated to implement and significantly more efficient in its use of space on the blockchain.
With scriptSig malleability removed, it also becomes possible to run lightweight Lightning clients.

Reduced UTXO growth will benefit miners, businesses, and users who run full nodes
which in turn helps maintain the current security of the Viacoin network as more users enter the system.
Users & developers who help minimise the growth of the UTXO set will benefit from lower fees compared to those who ignore the impact of their transactions on UTXO growth.

Easier changes to script opcodes will make advanced scripting in Viacoin easier.
This includes changes such as introducing Schnorr signatures, key recovery to shrink signature sizes, supporting sidechains & creating even smarter contracts by
using Merklized Abstract Syntax Trees (MAST) and other research-level ideas.

thanks @grv I just doubled my position based of flash sell offs thanks!

I read it a while ago. Like I said, why rush it? There's no need for it yet & implementing it before pools are ready only pushes miners away. I commented about this in the previous thread & dev thanked me for the heads-up, then BAM - it's happened anyway. It doesn't make any sense to do it before miners/pools are ready for it.

thats why its being tested extensively, dev could have released it untested a long time ago just like some other coins did and then faceplanted on bugs that led to hardforks and problems.

i cannot comment on pool readiness but afaik dev has been in contact with major pools, and also runs a segwit ready pool

I talked about it in the Viacoin telegram.
Yes rushing is useless. Right now I'm concentrating on fixing more on the vialectrum client side wallet.

So here's what I said in the Viacoin telegram room.
"Romano RNR:
I need to do some final fixes on electrum. Got a small issue to fix.

When that's fixed, I will execute the next steps. Electrum client will be Segwit ready & it's possible to support Ledger nano & Trezor

The client needs to be renewed, because the 2014 one is unacceptable for a professional coin.

And yes a lot of people use it, I don't want to hear any transaction problems when they start using it (like people will make a lot of transactions when Segwit singaling starts)"

Romano RNR:
"For are Avarage Joe's
Electrum wallets are wallets that don't require to sync.
You download the wallet, open it & ready to go.
No hours waiting. For the busy business man.

Also doesn't require a lot of space like the core wallet

Now whales use electrum wallets offcourse. What will they think if the electrum wallet is not working smooth at all?

Yeah indeed that would look embarrassing. That's why I need to stabilize this first.

And for the late investors who bought above 10k sat & are nervous.
I know it looks 'bad' but don't forget my vision & work brought Viacoin above 10k sat."

[romanornr]

And yes it's true I do run a SegWit ready pool on my own.
Never had much miners on my pool because it's pretty new but not better than other major pools atm.

It was ment to mine some special altcoins.
And yes it does allow me to test Viacoin mining.

Like prohashing.com who has Viacoin mining doesn't know how to support Segwit. I offered my help but no reaction. Alright pride is always a thing I guess :/

[romanornr]

Anyways it's a new week. I'm looking forward & trying to release good news.
