Wat?! Please don't tell me the wat lady died  I just stumbled upon this coin and it certainly seems interesting but can someone please confirm that it is totally open source code? I ask because I saw some comment a couple of pages back about it being closed source but I'm pretty sure that was just FUD. Also, what's with that other coin, vidz something? Are these 2 coins competing or are there just some similarities? Thanks! Try the more interactive Riot chat, which is being added to the vTorrent client https://riot.im/app/#/room/#vtorrent:matrix.org(works better with Firefox) Thanks, just joined! Time to do a little research on this one  |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Looks like the price and volume has never been higher before.  |

How much ram does the fully synced client consumes?

Basically they don't want thieves stealing code, but i heard it will be open source once they establish themselves. Purevidz is a completely different... like apples to oranges comparison and by oranges i mean dildos. They aren't even close to the same yet trolls from Purevidz keep coming here. |

In this case though, the "secret" is derived from the password you use to decrypt the wallet meaning with the source being open, you can see how to compute that secret. therefore if you know the wallet password, and how to compute the secret, you can compute the secret, produce yourself a new QR code and scan it and viola you have access to their 2fa now too!! so secure!! |

Thanks for your swift response Duke. You have now proven you come here often to check in. It's great to have you. There are still some cheap coins if you want to pick them up. No one will blame you for doing so.  |

No one will blame you for doing so. i'm sure there will be some cheap vidz for you on yobit to pick up, you can grab em on cryptopia too while thye're hot. no one will blame you for holding both |

Please stop posting a complete non-sense about 2FA such as that it will be pointless after open-sourced. You should get yourself some more knowledge on encryption and security system design before thinking you know all about VTR 2FA implementation with your cute imagination. It is not far from saying Bitcoin security is completely pointless since it is open sourced. |

I'm no lawyer but vTorrent is BitTorrent, perfectly legal software. So don't be that guy on the news for supporting and promoting some crappy illegal website. Download a vTorrent client instead and relax. |

They're using a protocol of a magnet link. It is something like collection of links. |

VTR is also a similar one. The main use of VTR will also pay money for an illegal file.  VTR is more direct. |

Bad Ass 2FA dev  Do you think that 2FA would work with MultiSig? That would make MultiSig super secure  I bet exchanges would spend a fortune implementing that for their offline wallets, especially Bitfinex. You could probably get them to list vTorrent as part of the deal |

Hey, downloaded the client a couple days ago but it refuses to sync. I'm using a mac btw.
Using Textedit, I added a textfile I called vtorrent.conf into the same folder where the wallet.dat and all those types of files reside. In this vtorrent.conf file I wrote: addnode=vtrseed.cloudns.asia. I also removed the RTF extension on the file.
However when I now try to start the client it just crashes.
Anyone knows how I can solve this problem and get the client to sync?

Try on the Riot thread, it's more interactive and you might find someone on Mac. https://riot.im/app/#/room/#vtorrent:matrix.org(works better with FireFox than Chrome) Scroll up, there are some nodes posted there that should get you started. |

....2FA...it will be....open-sourced.
Here is my personal view. Don't open source the 2FA feature, just yet. It is too valuable for all the hard work that went into it and it has commercial use cases. What I would do is create a vTorrent wallet with the 2FA included and one without. This will add complexity, but it will deal with the fud about it being closed source. Exchanges can 100% benefit from your 2FA implementation. So can vTorrent. You should create a generic Bitcoin wallet with the 2FA built in and label it as a vTorrent innovation to help exchanges with fraud. You should then sell that wallet to exchanges and others interested in security. The sale process is to create a licence agreement with them. You could also sell them the option to create other coin wallets with 2FA added. The licence means that they will pay you to see the source code so they can get it inspected for viruses. It also means you can charge them to put the source code into escrow should they need to access it in emergency (you disappear). You can then choose to accept payment in BTC or VTR. Once you have earned, say, 1,000 BTC or vTorrent has reached $30m market cap, you can then choose to open source, or not.

The headlines on Coindesk: "Exchanges Secure Bitcoin Cold Wallets with vTorrent's 2FA Technology"Only after you posting about using 2FA on exchanges do I see the value of it, look at all the hacks that have happened over the last few years, hundreds of thousands of BTC stolen, wow this really does have a high value. The kicker is if the devs didn't release this instead of torrent back in August, and just released it as a separate release the marketcap would of shot right up. Just imagine if they communicated more, we'd have a much much higher marketcap. The marketcap is usually a good measurement for how well a project is doing. |
