I noticed today that, despite the recent uptick in prices, Viacoin's market cap is not even in the top 100 of coins listed on http://coinmarketcap.com.  I know things have been ugly for altcoins in general for a while now, but there are a lot of shitty coins out there.  There's really over a hundred more valuable than this one now?  That's pretty grim.  Really thought I had picked a winner here.

That's all wrong. This coin is a top 100 coin. Let the market finish with all the shit coins, let them die out and then the old ones can thrive.
I'm thinking via should be at least in the top 50 now and when the dust settles,
I'm thinking closer to the top 15 or 20.

You picked wrong.  There's no volume and no interest from the community in general.  Better dump now while you can than be a bag holder when this goes back to .00002

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

Any fixes for this?

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? 

Nodes that stall block transfer are dropped eventually, nicer ones remain connected and client sync picks up speed. This is all automatic.

We should smoke some dab together some time. I'm sure we would have a blast!

Yeah.  Patiently waiting.

Btw.  Is Peter Todd still on board?  Just wondering...

Full resync usually takes under 2 hours for me, but if you got really unlucky with nodes, you can try stopping viacoin, removing peers.dat and starting over: this way you will get another set of nodes from DNS seed and may have more luck with these.

Regarding Peter Todd, he is. Keep in mind he is doing Science, as was always the case.

[karmala]

PT still on board. That is nice. As a scientist, I know how slow science can be. However, he could communicate his progress or lack thereof in a short blog post on the blog... Would be a nice move.

Cool.  Thanks.

That's good to hear.  This project is always in my watchlist because of him. 

[tokeweed]

Btw...  Syncing is still super slow.  Any more suggestions?

[tokeweed]

I think this is becoming an impediment for people getting into VIA.

I agree. Blocks for one week are downloaded for an hour or even more.

[tokeweed]

Yeah man.  I mean seriously..  It's so slow. 

[mrcashking]

Yeah man.  I mean seriously..  It's so slow. 

You can say that again.
Why is it so slow?

[tokeweed]

Don't know.  Maybe there's only one node.

[derrend]

If you don't intend to mine the coin and all you want is a wallet then I would suggest using clearing house.

I fell out with VIA not so long ago but things are starting to look up and so I'm back to try my hand once again. Just had a lot of good luck with XPM so I'm recharged and ready to ride the incoming VIA wave!!

[CryptoTrout]

via went merged mining. unless you are king of china, dont bother

[tokeweed]

Ok thanks.  Such a waste of tech.  No one's using Clearinghouse.  Can it do asset to asset trading or all assets have to go through viacoin?
