what.cd the largest private music tracker in history (?) just got shut down

No surprise there, torrents are getting ass raped left, right and center.

You told me that you thought the marketcap of this coin when the client is released could goto 100M, i'm afraid i'd have to disagree due to the GIGANTIC user base possible for VTR, i'd have to say that after a year or two of the release this could go to closer to ETH's marketcap of $1B.

Torrents on the blockchain are desperately needed.

where did you see that?

[ik_do]

what.cd is much of what I was referring to when discussing what private trackers offer

So its pretty big news; its especially big since it involved data centre raids and similar and also because of how noteworthy what.cd was.

I'm hoping vTorrent can work as a solution for this; incentivizing obscure files.

Hey guys, can I get some more information on the staking system of the client: I just opened my client computer which has been running quietly for a couple of days without being touched, and find only 966 out of my 9000 coins are being staked - is this all done automatically or is something wrong? Or is this just not wrong at all? Can I just stake the lot somehow? I'm sure I was getting better rewards a few days ago

Loving this project btw

I think it's automatic, based on annual percentage distribution (5%). Well, that's my understanding of it.

You can go in to the settings and change how much you want to stake. I think this feature is mostly to allow you some funds that won't get locked up when you need to spend them.

By the way people, VTR will have the option to port over the SDC market.

Not sure if that is going to be integrated by default, or if the devs have the option to add it based on user requests.

From my point of view, having a market is a great idea, but for an odd reason.

The market can actually be like a bulletin board / classifieds. People will be able to post links and stuff. But more than that, people that post links can be rated on the quality of what they are linking.

Anyway, something for much, much later, maybe.

Goodbye letter from what.cd

worth a read.

hundreds of thousands of users?

Second biggest wallet on trex has jumped up to 338k

So, I've been digging around at what might be available at some point next year and the future looks bright, so bright you might want to get some shades:

Probably still a bit of development required, then SDC porting and vTorrent forking, but Tor and I2P support will be a HUGE deal for use within the vTorrent client. JoyStream will just get left so far behind:



Then there is the potential for group and private chat groups. No need to worry about joining slack groups, vTorrent/groups/whatcd



Really can't wait for PoSV3 and beyond.

Group chat will make vTorrent so much ore useful for sharing private torrents, couple this with tor and I2P, then what.cd might of still be live if they had this.

Another good post coins.

I really can't see the price staying this low for much longer.

You know, I think this could be easily more popular than SDC. The user base for DNMs is limited. TONS of people use torrenting. The SDC team has done a really great job building a privacy platform and co-opting it for torrenting is some sort of genius.

Nice developments.

Btw buy orders in amount of VTR now are higher than sell orders of available VTR. Only 778929 VTR available as sell orders; which is like 6-7% of the currency.

Also RAWX, the only other exchange is going to close down on December 15th or so (https://rawx.io/en/news/future-of-rawx/)

A complaint from the MPAA has led the cyber-crime division of Ukraine's National Police to raid FS.to, one of the country's most popular pirate sites. Thus far 60 servers have been seized and 19 people have been arrested, but police fear the site could reappear since some individuals are on the run and a mirror site may be standing by in Russia.

Serving more than a million users every day, FS.to was one of Ukraine’s largest pirate sites. Ranked the country’s 21st most popular site overall, the movie-focused platform attracted the attention of the MPAA and local rights holders alike. That has resulted in one of the biggest raids ever seen in the country.

I noticed this earlier, we should see a positive price movement soon.

I've also noticed every few days someone sells a large chunk of coins to them selves trying to get others to dump, you notice this too?

[leigh2k14]

oh man whats happening the last weeks, this show us how much something like vtr is needed (of course if developed good and userfriendly).
if so prepare for big lift of for vtr:)

It seems like a coordinated global copy right crack down. I think we will see a lot more of this over the coming weeks and months.
