I would rather don't care what people are telling me about holding or buying something.

But I am not. I was asked my opinion by someone on a google hangout and I gave my opinion as requested (about bitcoin and altcoins in general). At no point have I dished out advice instead you chose to misrepresent the issue so you could troll in this thread.

I think we've all had enough fun for today.

Hello Via community, if we need additional full nodes we can fund them easy via Bitnodes.

Wouldn't ClearingHouse be a perfect avenue for funding stuff?

[dimke_yu]

It would probably, but this is turn key solution from service provider itself it is not some platform for crowdfunding or similar...

a pitty indeed

let's organize a trash Viacoin day

So I closed my wallet, got an error message. Upon restart all my coins are gone, my adress has changed, seems like the wallet.dat was deleted somehow and replaced when I restarted the wallet. Believe it or not my external drive died just hours ago. So I guess I am screwed. First time in crypto since more than a year I lose coins like that....

no luck. I was able to recover the original wallet.dat from the external drive but it is damaged and the wallet wont start (error message). Sigh.

You could try contacting http://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/ - they might be able to help you. They've been around for a long time. The wallet format is the same as Bitcoin 0.10.

Just recently downloaded the latest wallet.  I get this error whenever I start it.



Any fixes for this?

Is this on a fresh installation with no database or an existing installation with the blockchain database?
I assume you're using 0.10.7.1?

Try starting viacoin-qt.exe from the command like with -reindex
I think it's a problem with the old pre-merged mined DB format.

Decided to start from scratch.   Syncing is really slow.  Any ideas how to speed this up?

Since a day or 10 the Viacoin richlist at http://www.richlist.eu/viacoin is turned off.
Does somebody know why?
