That's weird. Chain was speeding up, now slowing down.

We see one large wallet on trex. 1,055,000 VTR.

nice stash... I am still accumulating also!

We would like to buy some as well. We are curious, when are release dates? We apologize if people asked before.

who are we?

Any relation to the Bitcoin Hivemind project?

Na, it's just his split personality disorder

Hive Five!

We see what you did there.

The volume problem.

There many people circling vTorrent at the moment, so I'm being told.

There are some whales that are standing back waiting for the volume to go way up, so they can trade decent amounts. Spending 1 btc on a bunch of coins and pushing up the price is not their idea of trading.  Spending 30-50 btc in a fast moving, high volume market is more like what they want to see and the levels they want to spend.

To get the volume going, vTorrent needs BitTorrent working or a sneak peak video of the BitTorrent features, IMO.

We also thank you for the fork dates.

Hello
I'd like to mine VTR but cant find a pool that is up and running. Maybe I'm just tired...
Anyway, does anyone know of a good active pool or list of active pools? Thanks in advance.

It's a Proof of Stake coin not a Proof of Work coin. You can "mine" VTR when using the staking function in the wallet - but you'll need purchase VTR from an exchange and have them in your wallet to do so.

Having said that there are pools that mine on different coins and then convert into your desired coin - but i have not seen one that supports VTR.

Ahhhh, so much to learn. Thanks

Okay, I understand that it is PoS but it is listed as hybrid PoW/PoS. Also, it seems there were working scrypt mining pools at one point as I read back in time in this thread. What am I missing?

My understanding is that it started as PoW but later went to PoS. one of the old timers can chime in I've only learned of the project relatively recently.

There were several weeks of mining back at launch, then it switched to PoS.

You'll just have to take it on trust that this is true.

If you know anything about traders and whales, you'll know they like volume and liquid markets.

There is money waiting to see what the devs have to offer in terms of BitTorrent integration. There is no expectation that it will be perfect on day one.

There is a new chatroom for vtorrent on Riot

https://riot.im/app/#/directory

#vtorrent:matrix.org

avoid using chrome

bump

it's good to see we are ahead of Zcash on using Riot for general chat and some basic noob tech support 

https://twitter.com/zooko/status/811676880374026240

Scan through the discussion to see a list of private chat clients out there and Riot seems to do pretty well.

@devs secure group chat within vTorrent is looking more and more essential. Looking forward to seeing it within one of the next releases.

Lol, what the hell.

We're at block 1187584. Major new features at 1200000 and people are selling!? LOL

Second wallet on trex got no balls.

The market will move up pretty quick in a week, just watch BTC moon, then it will be VTR's turn.

Its pretty normal for altcoin prices to slip when Bitcoin peaks--right now the entire market cap of Bitcoin is the highest its ever been (including peak Mt Gox).

We see.... we see, that this coin has held price nicely against bit... Hard to catch dips.

If useful features come out with the fork it will do as you say we think.

I've been running a survey on guessing how many Bitcoin users there are.

Looks like the wisdom of the crowd wins again:


https://twitter.com/nikzh/status/811900999019401217

I voted for 5m-15m and so did quite a lot of people  

To put this into context.

The above chart is the total Bitcoin users, using a reasonably good measure, IMO.

There are currently 30m active daily users of BitTorrent. The pool of users ranges from 200m to 500m.

BitTorrent use does in one day, what Bitcoin has been doing for 9 years.

What I think is interesting is the number of people that use YouTube. Billions.

What will be interesting is if the devs can figure out a way to integrate vTorrent with an app that can be used on TV's to stream content into living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens all over the world.

vTorrent should focus heavily on paid for content, Hollywood content distributed by locals for their neighbors and sharing in the profits.

vTorrent, MU2 and JoyStream will take Bitcoin mainstream.

Interesting, a 5BTC order at 2352 sat.

Not long left for cheap coins, only a week left to accumulate.
