How much will I get for 1 BTC?

You get a percentage proportionate to all the other bidders. So if the total bid is 100BTC and you bid 1BTC you'd get 1%
You can see the current stats at http://presale.viacoin.org/list.html

And only 10 million VIACOINS in this presale right? so 1% of of 10 million?

[timmyd]

it would be 1% of 10mill twist yes not 1%of the whole currency

Why you choose scrypt?

[KeyserSozeMC]

Why you choose scrypt?

Had the same question.

Why scrypt, guys?

To be able to switch to merge mining reliably in the future. SHA256 is a bit scary to bootstrap.

current amount would be 89000 coins i think but your putting 1 btc into it will reduce total number by a small amount, and its still not closed yet

[SerMeric]

Hi,

Trying to run Vialectrum but can't (anymore).

On windows, I first downloaded the standalone exe (by mistake instead of the installer) and ran it. At some moment it was about to generate some passphrase but the program was telling me that the PC was better disconnected from internet so I canceled the process to close the exe and disconnect my PC. Once done, I re-ran the standalone exe but since then, nothing happens.

Afterwards, I downloaded the installer and the installation went fine but when I click on that exe, still the same : nothing.
I opened the task manager to see what was happening and when I click on the exe "vialectrum.exe" is displayed only to disappear a second later.

Can somebody help me ?

Use task manager to "End Process" and try again.

Use task manager to "End Process" and try again.

I don't have time to do it because the process appears and disappears right away. And sometimes, there are even two of them that do it simultaneously.

Sounds like a reboot would fix this. Vialectrum will show as being offline, because we have to turned on the network yet. It will still function to generate your wallet.

Interesting concept..I m just wondering how will you protect IPO investors because the last two ipos I joined that were mixed ipo, mining coins I lost literally all my investment...

The coin distribution has been engineered so that ... ICO holders will be the main source of coin distribution in the early months.

The presale will also set the market price.

I'm a dreamer and a paranoid.
As s dreamer i put my money where my mouth is and i'm in.

Nonetheless, as a paranoid, i am bothered by a hypothetical potential flow in the ICO structure, as follows:

Suppose it wasn't BTCdrak behind this ICO but some dude named XYZ.
XYZ opens the pre-sale and people place 100BTC.
At the last minute, XYZ places an order of 400BTC and ghe ICO ends.
XYZ now lawfully receives 500BTC for the sale of coins + 80% of the ICO voins distribution.
In essense, XYZ set the market price, earned all the 100BTC that the market was bidding, and also gained 80% of the coins.
A perfect scheme imho.

I have no solution to this gameplay unless privacy is breached. I believe BTCdrak has honnest intentions and even though i'm a paranoid, i'll suffice with him posting that this will NOT be the case and that he intends to "buy" x% of the ICO coins or mine thereafter.

As i said earlier, i'm in bcs I believe in this development direction of cryptos and I think BTCdrak has earned his reputation. But one can not be paranoid enouhh in the crypto wold of shitcoins and P&D.

Reboot did nothing  

I ran it well the first time but since then, nothing. The program doesn't even start and is killed immediately. Looks like I'm the only one experiencing this so the problem is definitely on my end but I don't known where's the problem at all.

I could try the paper wallet but I'd prefer having Vialectrum instead.  

I also ran a few scans (malwarebytes, antivir) and found nothing.

EDIT : Could there be a conflict somewhere because I canceled the process the first time I successfully ran the wallet ? Some non-deleted stuff ? (*noob here*)

chompz, I appreciate your candour. I already answered this question previous and said I'll be mining at launch. I may also run a pool. Remember, I don't have incentive to cheat because I already have the ICO funds and I can quite happily trade when it hits an exchange: it's what I'm famous for anyhow right? There is no way for me to prove this other than by my reputation and past history, so either you trust me, or you don't. It's as simple as that. I don't particularly want to try and convince anyone either way. I have presented myself as best I can, and put my reputation on the line which I spent a long time building.

Viacoin is a genuine coin and I want it to succeed for early adopters and for the long term. I wrote about this at length on http://blog.viacoin.org/ (the story of viacoin). I am quite flattered by people's response so far, it's quite humbling to receive this level of trust from the community.

Thank you very much. I will do my best to make Viacoin a success.

Sorry buddy, it's hard to know without seeing it myself. Maybe just use a paper wallet for now. The QT client will be available soon anyhow and you can just import it then.

It's ok then if I can import it afterwards. I'll do the paper wallet then try to find a way to install Vialectrum and import my keys.

Thanks for your help.

Just make VERY sure you have a copy of your private key starting with 7. Importing addresses is generally not a good idea to Vialectrum since it wouldnt be backed up by your seed. You would import it, then transfer the funds to another address. For Viacoin-Qt you can import also. It's just a case of going to the console and typing the import command and pasting in the private key.

[Crypto_Enthusiast]

I have a question, which will need to be answered before I invest.

What Exchange(s) will Viacoin be on & what E.T.A onto those exchanges?

My investment being liquid through an exchange is VERY important & I am surprised that it has not been asked already.

Investing in SWARM & not being able to get my BTC back taught me that lesson.
