Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Look at the original thread. The dev went to self moderated thread only after IPO. Prior people were free to bring up anything worth noting. He did it to limit the FUD, but felt it was necessary to keep it unmoderated while people were still deciding to invest coin or not. Nothing to hide, and people can still bring up any issue in the original thread w/o worry of it being deleted.
Self-moderated thread is of a lesser concern, or probably not a concern at all. Things I wrote above are much more concerning, but for some reason you decided to ignore them  |

can somebody edify me why there is so much hash power involved while the block reward is zero? It is important to protect the coin from 51% attack before mining rewards kick in, some people realize that and keep mining. thanks, maybe that's the point. |
Am I spamming? Report me!

Yes, trading reputation. He is a trader, not a developer. What is the price of this reputation? 360k USD for a reputation - hmm, not bad. |

I gotta problem I was hoping someone could help me with. My password works when I want to open the wallet seed things but when I go to change my password it doesn't recognise it and when I wen I do a test send, after I tap in the password it says exceptions must be old style classes or derived from base exception not none type. When I go to change my password it also doesn't recognise my current one by the looks of it. Don't get it why does the password work to open the seed phrase thing but not for the other. R my ipo coins jus stuck like that? Help please  |

So what is so special about this coin that it gets a nice high volume pump? IPO, PoW... not that interesting. ELI5?  Good dev, good idea, good vision, good marketing, good launch, good communication, good delivery of goals, good supportive community, good possibilities, good future. Good dev - how do you know this? For now we just have a clone of bitcoin with some sloppy copy-pasting. Example: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/search?q=bitcoin&ref=cmdformActually most of these are intentionally left. It's only UI facing stuff that needs to be changed. It means we can keep up to date with pulls without big merge headaches. There are a couple of UI merges missed, but overall your search is misleading. |

So far in this thread, I have deleted one post, because it was an duplicate of a false positive virus warning from Virustotal on the 64bit release. I left the original. (I know it's false because we're building viacoin on a debian VM using gitian builder which is exactly how Bitcoin Core is built.) As I said in a previous, trolling and FUDders are necessary like bacteria in the gut. The community agreed self-moderation *WITH CLEAR RULES* was best, which you can see in post #2 after OP. Basically anything goes so long as it's on topic and opinions are backed up with some argument. Spamming will not be tolerated. |

Imagine a CEO of a firm selling all his shares in his company and then claiming to minority shareholders - I will bring you to the moon because I am rich. The amount of effort you put in coin development is appalling. |

Omg, why do you keep flooding your own thread with these useless comments regarding self-moderation. This is NOT a big deal. Cashing out and having no incentives in the coin IS the big deal. |

What makes you think he didn't buy any at 0.00010 price? Or any price. |

There is no proof of him buying, although this is something that maybe people want to believe in. I wonder how much can people stretch their imagination. |

Why would you change the names of files, functions and classes when you want to maintain compatibility with upstream? It's *only* UI, userfacing that matters - and that is 100% intentional to avoid merge conflict nightmares. |

Amusing fact: Viacoin's 24h volume (855BTC) is more than Mintpal exchanges entire 24h volume (623BTC). <3 |

Need to sleep, but so interesting watching trex... I bought 10 VIA at 0.00007100 before it went crazy.
I'm assuming he bought more |

Why would you change the names of files, functions and classes when you want to maintain compatibility with upstream? It's *only* UI, userfacing that matters - and that is 100% intentional. These are not the name of files and functions. For example, the error message that pops out when one tries to make RPC call to the wallet: "Error: There is no RPC client functionality in bitcoind anymore. Use the bitcoin-cli utility instead." The utility name is viacoin-cli, not bitcoin, but you didn't bother changing this error message. The makefile and testnet are another examples. It has nothing to do with function names. Doc files as well: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/blob/fe95e4d3c556a6ea9afca8f03064bd3ace4776c1/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.20.mdnotes on bitcoin everywhere. And on and on. |
