[ANN][VTR] vTorrent - Share with freedom | 2FA | HD | @Bittrex

@coins101

If VTR succeeds it will make torrents invulnerable to takedowns.
But people torrenting will still be tracked down, so it is not the full solution.
You will still need a vpn service.

I guess that is why Mega build encryption into their uploads and therefore downloads.......

so why can't you have VPN & torrent client capabilities built into vTorrent? A one stop shop! Other coins are adding VPN, why not vTorrent!

I agree that rights holders are about to get much more vigorous prosecuting jo & jane citizen to create a deterrent effect, and when that happens people aren't going to feel good about paying for stuff they've been getting for free, especially under 30's who'll freak out if they were suddenly charged  $30 for a CD, which is what I used to pay regularly in my younger days.

Whoever offers a user friendly one-stop-shop that offers anon torrent downloading will seriously clean up. Might as well be vTorrent!

edit: as an aside, IMO the only viable route for rights holders is to buy out ISP's on a global scale, then 'tax' everyone via their broadband charges. Like a VAT or GST charged on every MB downloaded, so digital content is given away free, but everyone pays a little bit for genuine distribution to copyright holders. Can anyone seriously be downloading 100 GB a month without downloading a lot of movies, music etc?

Hello all,

Unfortunately, ancientOne1 is right about this issue, I don't have any plan to prevent problem with ISP tracking down users downloading or uploading illegal content with torrent at this point, but when we have torrent implemented in our client, torrents should be invulnerable to takedowns.

Keep in mind that any feature can be implement in the future, there will likely be many more functions add to our client to improve functionalities and not limited to torrents.

My ultimate goal is to bring in and introduce new people to crypto-currency with our project and our currency.

Regards,

vTorrent

Thank you for that answer vTorrent! Your willingness to listen to opinions and keep an open mind is very encouraging! It's always good to think in stages too, so getting the basic torrent functionality up and running first, then exploring other features later (maybe with the help of other devs) is very wise. I have more confidence in this project every day!!

If you want to keep your private files private the answer is pretty simple: Encrypt the data first.

The vTorrent roadmap should include the ability to reference encryption, even if using third party tools like Encrypt to do the actual encryption.

The seeder rating system should help deal with people that encrypt malware, and people will upload all sorts of crap.

If I want to upload videos of me naked in the shower, then I would prefer it if I could encrypt the file before it gets seeded.

Is it a perfect solution? No. But it protects that network users a little more and it gives me a little more protection because videos of me in the shower are not for ISPs to look at or index.

I would also add indexing tools to enable users to not index in certain countries of their choosing. So as a user, I can opt out of anything to do with the USA - whether its uploading my naked shower videos and making sure they don't get listed for download in the USA; or accidentally downloading my girlfriends naked shower video which she uploaded for me to access while she was on holiday in Florida.

Thanks for that info! Sounds like a smart approach to encrypt everything, but how does a regular user encrypt all their internet traffic, including torrent data?

There are all sorts of people looking at I2P, Tor and other areas of IP obfuscation to deal with linking users legitimate financial transactions with their IP address.

The OP has said that he is using a lot of code from SDC. They are also looking at this area.

Auntie Google can help on i2P.

We can just share stuff via torrent with password required rars, scene style. Your ISP cannot see what we are downloading or sharing. There is legal stuff in torrents too, so if know one can say what we are sharing/downloading, the monthly bandwidth usage is useless.

How will you spread the password without ISPs knowing it?

Thanks! Is there a way to route all your internet traffic through tor? I use it for browsing, but can you run torrents and other applications through it? I suspect the tor network can't handle that much traffic, but in theory can everything go through tor & I2P?

I have nothing to say really, but I hope this coin is developed to its full potential so I am now watching this thread.

The TPP and TTIP are part of the New World Order agenda to elevate corporations above sovereign counties, also under these secret trade deals, corporations will be able to take states or countries to secret courts if a country or state or country does something to cause profit loss to a corporation.

Yes welcome to Fascism.

All I really care about is that tracking of personal movements are never allowed. If people have to use encryption to protect their privacy, there should never be laws that prevent that or allow governments to go after people who use encryption.

Corporate firms can be forced by courts to reveal data about customers. No one controls crypto. Add encryption to crypto and implement torrents and we can stick the finger to the bastards that feel they have the right to stamp on personal freedoms. Fuck'em.

[traderman]

I agree!

We need projects like vTorrent and some of the other potential candidates to deliver, we need this big time.

Hi dev.

what will be ETA. for torr implementation now?

thx.

[MadCow]

Does anyone have any info on this, a Fibrecoin user says his wallet was drained by a hacker who added a keylogger to vTorrent client.

Just wanted to thanks to MXXXXXX for helping me to try get back my stolen coins.

You are really man of honor.  

Did you get your coins back?

No, bittrex wont help.

Hi,

Bittrex cannot legally lock accounts without a court order or subpoena.

Thank you,

Ryan

So they have conntrol of your bittrex account too....

The cause of his problems was vtorrent client. It had a backdoor malware implemented with keylogger. Hacker sent his coins to Bittrex but they won`t help without a court order or subpoena.

[DenisZabar]

That would be me. Last thing i was doing on my computer was downloading vtorrent client and
run it. Unlocked wallet for staking and goes to sleep. Next morning i saw that somebody was using teamviewer
and empty my VTR i FIBRE wallets. Since i used same password for VTR and FIBRE and didint write my passwords
anywhere only explenation on this that vtorrent client is modified.

I cannot prove that fault is in vtorrent client but this is last i was doing on my computer before hack.

You should be able to check on github.

https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/commit/6fabfaea2b5b1713238e6c2fa4915a1d7595af45

Where and how did you download the client?

Did you check your download history for any other sources?

Have you run a malware check? Although, you might get some false positives.

To claim that the cause of the hack is from vTorrent client is non-sense, I always supply MD5 hash with all of my release and if you download your client from my official Github release can ensure you it is clean.

I have spent countless hours trying to help users (and users in other coin) with their wallet problem and I am still holding some of our users fixed corrupted wallet.dat with total amount of 60-70k with their password for months now.

I have a decent job with reasonable pay check. I have absolutely no need to take that route.

I am willing to bet that the problem is with Teamviewer running in the background, please remove/disable it immediately.


EDIT: I am asking for any proof of his/her claim from @mxxxxxx
