Using a bootstrap.dat is no longer recommended (Unless it's an old coin).
Viacoin uses a new faster-synchronization feature.

‘headers-first synchronization’: The Viacoin Core Beta wallet first ask peers for block headers & validate those.
In the second stage, when the headers have been discovered, the Viacoin wallet downloads the blocks.
However, the wallet already know about the whole chain in advance, the blocks can be downloaded in parallel from all available peers.

Gonna download the new wallet tonigjt.  Well done, looking forward to see where this coin goes.

Yes, it's an old coin. I have VIA coins in my wallet from 2015. So I need a botstrap.

If this is based on litecoin technology and the lightning network
then count me in.

Thank you for this. I can see that you also fixed link on main site viacoin.org  

Also can you post here addnode commands and ip-s cause from some unknown reason my wallet cant find any blocksource.

Long time didnt be here and i can see that you are lead developer. Can you make any comment about Peter Todd? Is he still on team?

addnode iphere "onetry"

same problem, either newer versions don't want to run under windows 7 or I can't sync up with the wallet.
either way a viacoin.conf file would be nice to find, if someone actually has one with working nodes.

oh yes, when downloading the latest versions (win32 and win64) it might be nice to be able to tell which is which.
downloading either... calls them both win-32.
shouldn't one be called win-64?

thanks

I found some viacoin.txt with seed inside, after downloading wallet, there is no such thing as seed recovery, does the wallet changed, or my notepad is wrong?

Are you taking about 0.10.11 or the new beta Wallet?

I have problem with 0.10.11

Can you paste here ip-s active nodes?

[r1d1]

I tried 0.13.2.1 - very fast synchronization, full chain (over 7 GB) downloaded over night.

[JoostB]

Can you paste here ip-s active nodes?

These IP are working for me:

158.69.248.93
92.222.231.168
185.128.41.158
176.31.13.198
45.32.182.20
74.118.157.117
141.6.12.14

I'm very happy to read this!

BTC when will rise

BTC when will rise

What do you mean by this?

[wttbs]

I installed 0.13.2.1 synced 995882 blocks in 9 hours. Would it speed up if I add these nodes to the viacoin.conf ?

158.69.248.93
92.222.231.168
185.128.41.158
176.31.13.198
45.32.182.20
74.118.157.117
141.6.12.14

I assume the .conf is in the same folder as the wallet.dat ?

Yes, viacoin.conf resides in the same folder as wallet.dat.
Whether adding nodes speeds up the process of syncing is something I never looked at, so I don't know.
Maybe Romano can shed some light on this.

is segwit already activated?
