Well while there's hardwork going on for Viacoin merged mining
I made some reddit posts https://www.reddit.com/r/viacoin/

As some of you know, I own/run a small altcoin mining pool.
I made a SegWit Ready pool. I can probably test Viacoin SegWit mining on it.

is there any place that we can follow up on adoption of SegWit for Viacoin, like number of blocks mined signaling the adoption (similar to bitcoin)?

SegWit can be the best feature and experiment on Viacoin, if it implements SW and succeeds, no doubt Viacoin will go to the moon.

The work on SegWit/Merged mining is still ongoing AFAIK so no VIA miner is able to signal it yet. I hope that the 0.13.2 release (which includes segwit) will happen in the next few weeks though.

I've thought about an idea to make a site when 0.13.2 is released. A site where you can see if Viacoin SegWit is activated yet.
However if we someone here who wants to make that site (can be fun right?) let me know.

You can run a node and the rpc calls "getblockchaininfo" and make an api of it.
If you can get the api with Javascript, jQuery or a small framework like vuejs... I can put it on the Viacoin site.
The Viacoin site only supports html so getting the api should be done in the Frontend.
Use PHP,  NodeJS, python, haskell or whatever language you like in your backend. I don't recommend Ruby, that might be a little too slow.

It sounds like a fun little project. I'm on it.

Are you aware that SegWit breaks both merge mining & mining with p2pool ? If you introduce SegWit compatibility then p2pool users will be unable to mine or merge mine Viacoin resulting in a loss of miners, Viacoin users & network hash rate. I urge you to leave SegWit on the back burner until someone has patched p2pool, which might be a while as the p2pool dev seems to have vanished.

As far as I know this is why it takes so much time to add. Someone is actively working on fixing these issues for viacoin.

Less miners, only miners mining on SegWit compatible pools?
Sounds like a faster SegWit activation !

  just kidding, I will read more about it and keep it in mind.
I do see an implementation here https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool/pull/327

Charts seems to show an uptrend... What do you think guys?

It's been in an uptrend for the last 8 weeks or so - next stop 5k

@btcdrak how to resolve this error?
I have to give feedback to the Developer Viacoin, perhaps wallet vialectrum there are bugs or there needs to be updated.

I've helped you on twitter and told you to use the core wallet then instead.
For SegWit it's required that I have to upgrade electrum. It's not the time to bug hunt for a bug that only a single person has. I asked for a debug log and windows version but you didn't send that, also said to try it on another computer for now since it's only a single transaction you want to make.

Isn't it much easier to just download the core wallet & sync it?
The electrum wallet will be upgraded later & the bug will be gone by then.

SegWit is now number 1 priority.

Hello,

I've been away for a long time and now tried to access my Clearwallet @ https://clearwallet.co/ but I get the error message: "No ClearingHouse servers are currently available. Please try again later. ERROR: The server is not fully caught up to the blockchain. Please logout and try later. (Most likely this message is due to the server being updated.)".
I did put my phrase one word at a time but still get the same message. I opened a ticket, but no response at all.
Can someone help me with the next steps accessing my wallet?

Thanks , Mark

Sorry I've been busy for the last few days.
I finally got all the remaining server stuff transferred over from btcdrak including clearwallet, vialectrum and node seeds.

I spent a lot of time on clearwallet and I've managed to fix the login issue! You can access your private keys now.
I'll definitely leave the server running for a while, but I suggest you copy out any private keys that have Via or ClearingHouse tokens.

You can import these tokens to a Viacoin full node and use the clearinghoused command line if the web wallet is retired.
The command line gives access to all the same features of the web wallet, and actually the web wallet uses it behind the scenes anyway.

After you log in, this screenshot shows how to export the private key. You should repeat separately for each address that has a balance.

Want to run node. Is there any bootstrap?    Thanks. Great work so far. Good to see Via making such massive progress. Thought we had lost a good project.

I also would be curious about bootstrap?

Congrats on 5k today next stop 6k!!

Here is a script that you can use in order to compile and run a viacoin full node on Linux:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/blob/master/blockchain/scripts/viacoin.sh

I used it two days ago and it works fine.

Hey @Romano, any news on the segwit+auxpow implementation? How is the dev doing?

It's going well, merged mining is close on being completed.
Good things can take some time.

Especially because it's never been done in altcoin land with bitcoin core 0.13.2 and merged mining!

More then 60% is completed for merged mining.

  Thanks for the link. The bootstrap worked fine. Got me up to just 5 weeks ago.
