It is lucky for all of us that the developer informs the community about each step.

I dunno if I'd go that far.

I dunno. Your Windows installation seems to be broken. Maximum I can do, is to download the latest 0.8.2.1 pre-release and put it here for you to try: https://mega.nz/#!mosFiBQR!69DzX59APlFZuMkoiwhh7SZ5ba8uKznDu_zHEAjv2rA

If it doesn't work, you have to either try on another machine, or wait for the developer to pop in, and help you with this.

Thanks Drays.
I did try on different pc and it is syncing....will see

Any help?
Please.

That was a known problem on w10 with a specific version of the wallet, I had the same issue and had to update to a new release version.

Check this tweet: https://twitter.com/vTorrentCrypto/status/997892898770178048


In other news, the dev seems to still be active on Twitter for tech issues:

It is lucky for all of us that the developer informs the community about each step. In other projects with this, not everything is as good and the problems are very large. The main thing is to understand what's what and what continues to inform this huge plus to all participants.

Hi ,how and where I can check the block?

You cannot check it now, as you're not synced to that block yet.

You either need some patience, or a blockchain snapshot/bootstrap. Patience option is easier, anyway you have no reason to hurry, given the rather unhurried pace of development on this project

[cinogrin]

Anyone got an updated addnode listing? Or is there an active block explorer for VTR? vtrchains.com seems to be gone?

[boomboom]

Is the dev still active anywhere, like a slack channel or even email with a few select people?

This toŕent coin project should really be valued in the 100 millions, what exactly has been the problem, is the tech close to being finished, or is this vaporware only?

[cinogrin]

There's @vtorrentcrypto on Twitter which is supposedly the dev, and he's sorta kinda active on there. Some people here claim to have emailed with him. I've emailed him a couple times and never received a response. There was some uncertainty almost a year ago now at the end of 2017 with hacked/lost accounts, and the dev not having access to certain stuff, etc. Honestly I've never been sure it's the same dev from years past, but whoever controls the accounts now does have access to the original github and has put out wallet updates on there. As far as vaporware it very well could be, lots of big claims but the only real releases, and even the "video proof of torrent functionality" are all just GUI work, and may not actually be any torrent backend at all, just faking it for the camera. No one knows.

With Tron's involvement with BitTorrent and projects like Upfiring, it remains to be seen if this has a place in the market at all with the speed of its releases, even if it is real. This is a super super risky, hail mary longshot sort of coin to hold. I honestly think it's been a complete misdirection/fake development cycle for well over a year now, but this is one of my favorite "moonshots" to follow cause the potential is huge if it actually happens.

Great answer, thank you very much for your perspective!

I agree, the delay with any confirmation that torrent implementation is actually 'real' while other parties like Tron and Joystream are making observable progress is really disappointing,  but if this dev were to release something in the next few weeks/months it could become one of the all time records for ROI for those who stick around. I'm still staking a good number of coins when I sync my wallet,  maybe one day we'll relive the feeling of early Bitcoin miners who mined coins on cpu' s for nothing that later mooned! It's not very likely, but possible I'm sitting on a future bag of gold!

In the first release candidate version of the 0.8.2.1 wallet (which he released ~10 months ago) it seems that dev forgot to disable the debugging mode. You could see that there have been two vtr addresses in the code which have been labeled as dev and pnoch. Both of those addresses are holding and staking coins. It was delisted from bittrex so he could have dumped it long time ago but he is still holding it for some reason. There is no exchange and it's not going to pump unless he delivers the code. If he never planned to deliver I don't see why would he keep acting like he does after bittrex delisting. There would be no incentive for him. We know that he is still active, he is holding and staking coins so still there is hope. Every time in the past he was more active in November and December, we will find out if that's going to be the case this year. He also is/was active on bittrex slack channel under the nickname 'vtr.vtorrent'. If you are lucky maybe you'll be able to talk with him.

Actually, we have no evidence he is actually acting somehow... It may as well be just a semi-forgotten VPS left running with a staking node active on it.

Put yourself in his shoes. You have a wallet with quite a lot of coins in it and you keep staking. You have perfect knowledge if you are going to deliver the product or not. It's January, btc is at the ath, vtr is worth 10x more than it is now and it's listed on bittrex. If you know that you are not going to release anything and it's just a scam why wouldn't you dump your coins? It seems that he didn't. When you look at it from this perspective it doesn't matter if its forgotten vps or not. He won't be able to dump those coins anymore and he could have made 20 btc or more but he didn't.

Good point, whatever happens from here I think it's reasonable to assume this dev didn't set out to scam anyone, there was no ico, and the premine was quite small, so if vtorrent ends up failing it will be for some legitimate reason, like the dev didn't solve all the tech problems, or his private life made it hard to commit the needed time.

The good news is if the dev is still working and actually releases a viable torrent implementation,  then there's nothing preventing this project taking off in a big way, there's no smell, no scam, just clear air!

Yes, my coins are still there and they have withdrawal active, but no deposit or trading.  I don't see any reason to withdraw them yet or I would test it.  I'm holding faith, but it's beginning to look like another team may beat VTR to the punch with a similar concept, but using an existing privacy coin.

[bugreporterr]

I was waiting for gold depend but did not happen and now delisted from Bittrex. Is this coin still alive? Zero connections to network. Addnode list?

Also would be a good idea to open ports on your router/firewall.
