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

[leigh2k14]

Ummmm where is my old laptop i have 500k Vtorrent on 

That could end up like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25138627

So vtorrent has kindly let me try out the new wallet (minus torrent features); I've been asked to keep the file private but can share screenshots here.

So yes, it does exist. It is functional, it is pretty slick and barring the blockchain completely syncing (it is taking some time) it looks quite nice. There is a BitTorrent section, but it has been deactivated on this particular copy of the program (vtorrent stated that it would be without torrent functionality as this is still in private testing)

New features:
-multiple windows for trading on bittrex
-2FA via Google Authenticator
-Key management
-HD addresses
-Block explorer


Regarding the lack of any update on torrent functionality this is what vtorrent said on December 31st, 2014:

Since Magnetz scam, I prefer to keep all the details about torrent implement from public until we release our first beta client with torrent implemented.

As to when to expect torrent release, I have no information.

hmmm...    ?!



Everything about this mess screams scam. And most of the coins are held by a few.  oh well..

That's because its still syncing. The progress bar is on the bottom left.

I did say in my post that it wasn't fully sync'd yet.

In any case that page annoyingly only shows the blockchain 5 parts at a time. Hope it shows the full blockchain on final release.

Given the blockchain sync status bar, that doesn't look too far out.

Google Authentication within the wallet is pretty cool.

Fixed, it is now showing 10 at the time, please keep in mind that block data is a direct feed from client's blockchain, so the client needs to be synced up in order to show current block data.

Why does one leecher need a bittrex trading tab ?

Hello,

The main reason that I have implemented the trading feature in vTorrent client is that I want the user to be able to do everything vTorrent related from the client itself.

For people who are new to vTorrent or new to Crypto-Currency, they wouldn't have to go look around or look up google to find their way to get their first VTR. With trading feature in place, user can learn about Bittrex or any other exchange that trades VTR and transfer VTR between exchanges right from our client.





I have plan to implement auto-sale and many other feature to further improve the trading tab in future releases of our client.


Regards,

vTorrent

I wont argue with that. But it does seem like you are more focused on the coin part more that the torrent part. No answers to my questions on the matter and no updates either.

[mishax1]

So basically whats you're saying is that every leecher needs a bittrex account to use the client ?   somehow I don't see that happening..  

Needs a better solution..

[coins101]

I just realised that this new wallet is a HD wallet (well, I think it is).

That means that you can run the wallet on any machine by just remembering a pass phrase. But, the double security on that is the google authentication once your wallet is loaded or re-loaded.

If I have understood this correctly, this approach should be more secure than an exchange. Also, once your Trex account is set-up, you can run the wallet on a new machine and you would leak far less data about yourself compared to using an exchange direct.

It's not the reason we are all here, but these are nice features.

Not sure about the HD part . but you are right, the features would be nice if we could actually use them anytime soon or ever. Dev, just a friendly reminder, there are other groups who when then see that it can be done, will add that feature in a matter of days and actually RELEASE IT. The benefits of the technology will be perceived as having been first accomplished by others and they will reap the market benefits.

I seem to remember he was going to release it closed and then open it up later when it was done.

Really nice security implementation to add google 2 factor, congrats dev, i have a question about this coin, is possible to earn vtorrent without mining only sharing files?

Whether or not vtorrent will be successful or not--its funny that you say features could easily be copied by other competing projects yet in the same breath bemoan the lack of information on torrents.


Like it or hate it, at least the dev has been consistent in what he has communicated. I suppose he could've hyped this currency up majorly with dozens of promises. Instead we know exactly the same as we did on day 1--vtorrent is a crypto-torrent project. We know nothing more and nothing less.

Don't see the need for 2FA security on a torrent client, as well as an integrated exchange (tab linked to a 3rd party exchange).

By the time it will be done, the whole concept of torrent sharing would probably change as it is already taken these steps (popcorn time for example).

Instead of focusing on the really important stuff like usability and functionality we see these useless implementations to make people "find their way to get their first VTR".

Beta version please

Well it isn't just a torrent client, its also a cryptocurrency client where security of funds makes quite a lot of sense. I'd use 2FA on my bank account if it supported it and as it is I use it wherever possible.

So what you're saying is that you have a better idea for the future of P2P file-sharing networks. Make it happen then.

In reality no one knows what way P2P will progress. VTR is just one project.
