.001 tonight EASY. 

0.001 definitely happening at some point, definitely not tonight though.  Probably gonna take a week or so.

[i_molest_cats]

So, just an FYI, I made ~1700 VIA withdrawal from Cryptsy to my local wallet but it never came through.

Transaction: http://bayimg.com/papJKaAFi

Wallet addresses: http://bayimg.com/pApJLaAfI

Wallet transactions: http://bayimg.com/PapJmaAfI

I went through and followed the guide to resync my wallet even though it did not need to be resync'd. I also have an up-to-date client. Thoughts? Help?

Means Cryptsy never upgraded. I reached out to them several times btw and left support tickets and they never replied. You have to hassle them.

Update: Cryptsy finally sent me my long lost VIA several minutes ago. I just wanted to let anyone know who may also be missing VIA from Cryptsy.

Viacoin Team Implements Smart Contract Protocol Built on Altcoin Block Chain


source:  http://www.coindesk.com/viacoin-team-implements-smart-contract-protocol-built-altcoin-block-chain/

The first decentralized smart contracts protocol built on top of an altcoin block chain is now live.

ClearingHouse, a descendent of Counterparty, was created by the team behind viacoin and has been in active development since the alt first launched last month. The team has attracted top talent in the bitcoin space, most notably Bitcoin Core developer and Coinkite advisor Peter Todd who has been hired to work on his Tree Chains concept.

On 11th August, the viacoin development team announced new details regarding ClearingHouse’s internal currency, XCH, and information on how users can exchange viacoins for the new currency. Notably, a new Web-based client interface that implements the ClearingHouse protocol, Clearwallet, was also made public.

CoinDesk spoke with viacoin developer BTCDrak, who said that because the ClearingHouse protocol is built on top of the viacoin block chain, certain structural and political complications that have previously plagued decentralized contract platforms are largely sidestepped.

He explained:

“Because ClearingHouse and viacoin are part of the same project, the viacoin block chain will always accommodate ClearingHouse’s needs.”


He added that, in the past, the teams behind projects like Counterparty have faced pressure from bitcoin’s development community that ultimately impeded progress. Using viacoin as a basis, ClearingHouse-based projects can avoid these obstacles entirely.

First look at smart contract protocol

Clearwallet is the first implementation of ClearingHouse, giving users a decentralized environment for conducting various contracts. No keys are stored on the server and all transactions happen purely between the two parties.


As shown in the image above, the simple user interface currently offers an asset marketplace, a betting terminal and section for decentralized games. Clearwallet also offers a live chat box, with early adopters already investigating the implementation.

In its original announcement, the viacoin-ClearingHouse development team announced that the exchange rate between VIA and XCH would be 100 XCH per VIA. A 45-day sale period has already begun, with a diminishing exchange rate that will end at 85 XCH for each viacoin.



According to BTCDrak, exchange volume is up and nearly 230,000 viacoins have been converted to XCH, or roughly 143 BTC at press time. Users have already executed several trades in Clearwallet’s VIA/XCH marketplace.



Looking ahead, reputation and identity support will be implemented that add further layers of complexity to how the protocol can be leveraged. As the team noted in the blog post, this includes the creation of decentralized organizations, facilitation of online polls, the sale of goods and services and even the development of new cryptocurrencies.

Decentralized platforms grow in number

The ClearingHouse protocol represents the latest entry in a group of decentralized contract platforms, which also includes Counterparty and the off-block chain decentralized contract network BitHalo. Ripple Labs is also working on its own smart contracts platform, Codius.

Beyond contracts, decentralized platforms are attracting attention for their intrinsic security and appeal to a broad segment of the bitcoin community. It’s this level of grassroots support that has made such projects largely possible.

Among the projects taking shape in this space is BitcoinJ developer Mike Hearn’s decentralized crowdfunding platform Lighthouse. While no date has been given, the platform is expected to launch sometime in the next month.

Commerce has also proved to be a major area for decentralized development. Peer-to-peer marketplace OpenBazaar, created by Brian Hoffman and based on the Toronto Bitcoin Expo Hackathon winner DarkMarket, seeks to bring the principals behind decentralized actions to consumer-to-merchant interaction.

wait until Europe wake up to the second coindesk article on via might enlighten some investors. Serious coin competitor. Market cap -> 3rd - 8th. Fingers crossed and good luck devs.

I LOVE VIA 
Got my via in cold storage. Will not take out until 2016

Is it true that the betting functionality does not allow betting in the US?

Is it true that the betting functionality does not allow betting in the US?

The betting occurs in on the blockchain peer-to-peer. There is no way to block it, that's the whole point of decentralized systems. If it is illegal for a US citizen to bet in the US then they need to obey the law themselves. The TOS of clearwallet spell this out clearly - if the system is illegal to use in your jurisdiction, don't use it.

The next logical question, is how you and Peter avoid or deal with, indictments/international arrest warrants, like PokerStars and others?

Well then they'll be arresting all the developers of Ethereum, Mastercoin, Counterparty, NXT, Qora, BitHalo. We are not running a betting shop, it's just a protocol layer. We are neither beneficiaries nor owners of any gambling company.

I am in the US, need to ask my body who is in Real Estate business, what VIA did with smart contracts is peeerfect for real estate, they always look to shave their costs to max out profits, but then you have some State/Federal laws and bureaucracy but even they would love concept of saving money, might take a long time but this is super right direction

@btcdrak you never sleep lol ? sign of a great developer  

yapppiee closer, small guy (me) just picked up 10 VIA, crawling to 184.39388877 VIA

btw because I am a nice guy and want this coin to end up in many hands (seeing that as important in general)

please see zenminer portal and subscribe to some not too expensive hardware, you can pull 10 VIA coins daily approx. (not sure for how long but still)

chose multipool.us (highest payout per average) 0.006 to 0.009 BTC in Todays prices/MHS per scrypt (X algo variety I did not check probably higher..)

then take BTC's and convert them to VIA daily, and you build up

this is not an advertising and I don't work for them, just spreading good word

[EtherCoin]

Coin is awesome, main dev is focused, with a great mindset and planning. The other devs are just unbelievable, celebrities in the crypto scene...

This is a no brainer under 100k... Cannot understand how other shitcoins can reach 200k so fast.
Anyway with ClearingHouse and the tokens we'll be there in no time.

Eth.

[EtherCoin]

Thanks for the head's up on that 5th post info. Very useful.
Anyhow chart looks amazing, volume fantastic, relatively low market cap. Someone(s) is definitely acquiring and trying hard not to draw attention to it.
I'm onboard.
JL

EVERYBODY in the scene with a brain is doing the same.

The ninja train.

[timmyd]

ninja train. lmao. good one. yea im doin the same buy a few but not too many to cause a price spike. get as much as you can quietly before everyones on boards. its gonna be one hell of a ride when peeps catch on.

@EtherCoin, may I bug you with the question ? did you buy into ethereum (I did not) I rather buy into VIA because of tangible apps, but the idea is similar.. ethereum got insane somewhat blind funding.. but all based on the fact that blockchain is "rich" of possibilities..

thank you!

agree! but I am passing VIA info around as much as I can, I want everyone to execute smart contracts one day, look how many lawyers will have to retrain in the blockchain technology lol

get on the grooooovy train, the ninja train

I have updated to the new windows wallet-qt 64bit, removed the two folders and the file as instructed.
I opened wallet, it synchronizes to the last block, shows my balance and a minute later an error message pops up.
I tried to open the wallet three times.

What can I do?

No I didn't, the idea is good and the minds working on it are bright, but I am no rich and having my money frozen just like that is just not an option. And anyway like you well said, here we are, in the VIA ninja train that challenge the whole ethereum idea already... so why the wait? VIA has its own geniuses also.

My nick has nothing to do with Ethereum, for good or for bad. Is a long story that comes before the birth of BTC itself.

Wait, getting a bit more VIAs on this dip...

It's possible you have a db corruption.

Close the program and delete the following folders in c:\users\appdata\roaming\viacoin

blocks
chainstate

Then restart and you should be OK. Make damn sure you dont delete wallet.dat, just those two folders is enough.
