I always received lots of messages with people wanting to donate or ask what they can do for viacoin.
So I made a donation page.

I don't expect much donations or any donations at all actually.
It was already posted in the Viacoin telegram room with 3000+ members delivering a mind shattering $16.
It was like 16 more than expected !

Hi Romano, I'm Interested in checking-out v3.3.4.1 but the signed checksum message isn't verifying (like when I verified v3.3.2.1 by copying the entire message with signature to via.asc then using Kleopatra to Decrypt/Verify).

Instead this time It's coming back with the following error:
via.asc-->via: Invalid signature
With Certificate: FB5B BA3A 16BC 6AF0 D2A2 1D61 3F92 368F 0D21 A206
The signature is invalid: Bad signature.

However the checksum for the portable version I'm interested in trying is checking-out so I'm sure it's fine, I'm just a bit cautious.

[mavigro]

Is there any 2019 road map? After seeing the last drop in price I decided to look a bit more in depth I to this project to see if anything. Now I know Romano justified the lack of updated on the github lately but I'd like to know why isn't the website and the roadmap isn't updated to 2019 and also ask if there is any major news or partner ship coming on ? Thank you

Oh I almost never update the website. Lack of github commits ON MY OWN GITHUB ACCOUNT this month is just because of me being sick.

That roadmap we published originally was way way smaller. We added more things to the map. Things that we came up this year with and for example that I finished within a few weeks or days.
Or improving an app/wallet etc self is not on the roadmap.

I actually think that roadmaps are old fashioned. The industry moves so fast, coming up with new ideas & finishing quickly is doable for me & adding it to the roadmap is confusing because people tend to not see the new roadmap item add.

Things that are difficult from the roadmap is Schnorr, MAST and smartcontracts.

For the rest, everything is doable. (I should update the website more often)

Revisiting the Website https://viacoin.org I found it's stuck "Loading" in Chrome and IE11 but not Edge. Now that's a first!

I may have messed up with my keys or something. Will check if there's something wrong with my PGP.
These are the correct hashes

Ok, that matches the checksums in Github so I'm comfortable however like when I run the previous version here's No servers online (understandable given the resources to run an Electrum server). Since I'm a casual VIA HODLER I'll just stick with QT until a server becomes readily available. Thx

Ah yes, having installed AdBlock in Chrome was the culprit there and the built-in shields in Brave also needed to be disabled however with No Ad Block installed in IE11 there must a security setting there, but with Brave and Chrome my go-to browsers I'm good-to-go. Thx.

Keeping up to date with development? What do you think we are? NLP AI?

You must know by now that everybody trusts the almighty price mechanism to explain to us how well you're doing?

On another note, any PR events revolving around Las Vegas activities coming up?

Regarding dev updates , I think there is:
- a new lightning network client, called eclair, coming soon
- new via electrum wallet released
- some news coverage
- HODL HODL mentions us
- sideshift exchange listed us
- ivendpay listed us
- coinbureau gave us a good rating
- Romano prayed to the Manga gods and likely ate some non edible things to honor them...

Still a decent buy.
This will go parabolic again one day.

time to enlarge my bag before that happens.

Absolutely! VIA's a proven performer and I've been taking every opportunity I can stumble on to increase hodl bag. The roadmap is also one of the juiciest out there at the moment

[romanornr]

Lots of news announcements planned and stuff coming up.

That also includes new Viacoin Core versions. Maybe even 2 new Viacoin Core versions this year.
Possibly 2 versions before the summer ends and more.

How can you help speeding up the process?
If you can't code to help us, consider donating to https://viacoin.org

We raised $950 in March which helped a lot.
This month, for now we only raised $150.

And yes every donation helps. Past months we paid a lot out of our own pocket.
