Unfortunately, there has been another report from a user (a few hours ago) about a bug in the client which affected users cannot unlock their encrypted client with the correct passphrase.
Since the first report from our user, I have been debugging and researching on the issue. What disturb me the most is that there are also at least two xCash users reported the same issue in their thread (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=765360.msg9934379#msg9934379)
and the fact that vTorrent is largely based on xCash led to possible conclusion that both currency is affected by the same bug and not specific to our client.
As of now, I still cannot duplicate the issue myself and I am still unsure if this reported issue is a vaid bug, but so far there are 3 vTorrent users contacted me with the same similair issue.
For now, I would recommend all vTorrent users to not only have their wallet.dat backup but also to export a private key and keep in a safe place, in case that the bug is valid users will be able to regain access to their coins by importing exported private key.
Also, it might be best for all users to migrate to unencrypted client for now at least until I can find out more about the issue.
Sadly I am the third unlucky person in this event.
Not sure why or how the passphrase got changed as it is now showing invalid passphrase when I try to unlock the wallet with the same password I have been using. I have been using the wallet normally for a few week, then I created and send my funds to a new wallet address. I used that new address for my mining income. Nothing I have tried works and there is nothing I can do to fix the problem.
Here's my address with 14080 VTR received

and another one with 7642 VTR received

Consider all of those coins ~21722 VTR are burned forever.
As developer stated, I also strongly recommend everyone to keep their wallet unencrypted for now.
Thank you developer for being open and serious about the issue.
Even with my bad experience with this unfortunate bug, I have no doubt that VTR will be one of the best alt in 2015.
