[PRE-ANN] [VIA]

I am from my mother's womb

When will the cion be launched?

right after the IPO or months later.

What I ask actually is: what is the dev progress of the software, is it all finished, or basic feature finished?

Is Viacoin finished? (I guess yes, because it need no extra effort)

Is ClearHouse finished?

Please see the blog. The network will go live within a few days of the presale closing. We are already preparing for it.

Thanks. But I think the network is only related with Viacoin, not ClearHouse.

So, can you tell me the dev status of ClearHouse?

Counterparty is developed in Python, so what's programming language does ClearHouse use?

Is ClearHouse embed in the Viacoin wallet,
OR just like Counterparty that need a Viacoin deamon together with a stand alone ClearHouse process?

Hypothetically, assuming Viacoin will succeed beyond expectations and become mainstream -
a. can it scale in number of transactions recorded per block (hundreds, thousands...) i.e. visa-mastercard trx/sec?
b. will we be using some cleaning mechanism of 'old' stored items (e.g. code, data, etc.) from old blocks that are no-longer in use/relevant? some other mechanism/scheme?

Thanks.

Putting aside all trust issues and assuming Drak's intentions are pure, leaving the ICO closing window uncertain is not right....... 

trying to avoid a last minute buying spree is one thing, but what protect us investors from entering a non-refundable ICO, that is mostly based on reputation and marketing, from ending up in a 500+ BTC investment that will lower the price from its initial distribution price as recently happened with Swarm and will surely occur with Crypti too?

YNWA2806 After listening to many people on this matter, I will announce a definite cut-off date in the next couple in the next couple of days. The presale will end abruptly.

To everyone else, I will answer your questions but please understand I am working flat out during this launch so please be patient for your answers.

Hi, @dev, did you see my questions?
I am right here waiting for your answer before my invest, please don't ingnore the questions.

Hi shadowduck.
The first stage is to get the viacoin network going. Then we can roll out ClearingHouse. Each stage needs a period of stabilization. ClearingHouse is a protocol so it can be implemented in many platforms. Let's see how things progress. The Qt full node clients are not possibly the best place to implement 2nd generation stuff and as you are probably aware, Bitcoin Core is in the process of separating out the full node from the wallet. The initial implementations of ClearingHouse will absolutely be separate clients and we hope to attract more developers (some have already been in contact), and build a thriving community. We'll be using python.

The reason why Counterparty lay its whole architecture on BTC is to leverage the value that BTC already provided.
Or the NXT approach is out of question to be a better choice.
Even though, Counterparty has received quite much criticism.

So, GOOD LUCK to you and the investors.

Thank you for your response. Have you considered Capping the investment? say no more than 200 BTC? its very common these days to put a cap to prevent massive buys that will weaken buying force on exchanges.

+2. Even I feel reluctant on buying viacoin without knowing whats the maximum number of coins that can be bought.
