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

..
i don't ask the white paper, but an overview of how it should work this project. Right now, why should I invest in this? nothing is explained

If you know anything about BitTorrent, this will give you a hard on



When your stiffy has come down a bit, get your phone out of your trouser pocket and login to Bittrex.

why no website... great idea no website?

The dev is anon, and most prob would like to remain anon, given the scope of the project, he/they would be painting a target on their back.

There is a website in production - like, right now.

Is it official or a supporter's site?

That's some fine torrent porn

The date says December 2015, we can't be far off the network going live now.

My guess is sometime after the second fork, not too long.

You have to give it to the devs, they are men of their word, they said they wouldn't release any info on torrent implementation until it was ready and they haven't.

Page 1 didn't have white paper and no website. Any chance last 181 pages had something like white paper? I'm real excited about these projects.

This is a long-term investment (if you're so inclined) and to give you some accurate idea of this project please see the following quotes from dev:"

"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."

"In my opinion, in order to have any success in having people outside crypto community to adapt and use our software or currency, there are a lot of issues that should be taking care of such as problem with slow blockchain syncing on every run or inadequate wallet security which tends to be overlooked."

"I sincerely apologize for the delays and absent in this thread due to an unforeseen issue with my real life project/business this month, but I am still working on this project and I do intend to move forward with vTorrent."

"I have spent countless hours trying to help users (and users in other coin) with their wallet problems 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.

"Torrent implementation has always been my main focus and first priority of this project, in fact, there are also a lot more going on in the background"

"I don't see the need of hyping or promoting the feature before everything is ready or at least come close to fruition."

if you don't believe in our project, feel free to find some project with 'whitepaper' ready

You can google these for the correct attributions directly to dev, but these are some choice quotes I copy/pasted to another investor yesterday to explain this project. I fully realize these would be more useful with a direct link to the dev's posts (vTorrent dev) however I didn't do this at the time because I'm as lazy as you are (not willing to review the past 180 pages again) and I'm providing these quotes from the dev cycle purely as a convenience to you. Do your own research and fact checking.

I can personally vouch that all of these quotes are direct from dev--if you can disprove me then do so, but I can't be screwed to go through 180 pages of posts to prove so. I'm sure any of the long term investors can reply here to vouch for the quotes here as being valid or you can spend the time (google) to prove that they are valid (I assure you I don't have the free time to pretend quotes belong to someone when they don't)

Again this isn't a typical cryptocurrency. At any point in time the dev could've photoshopped some screenshots and promised super big hype for a release promising 10,000 features over the past 2 years, but they haven't. At any point in time the dev could've taken the several users who had corrupted wallets and walked off with their money--instead the dev spent the time and fixed the wallets (at least I'm speaking for myself and I haven't seen anyone on here complain so far).

Either you believe in the project, or you find something you're more comfortable investing in. The dev honestly doesn't seem to give a shit to what you, I or other people believe and if you're on this page and investing then you believe in what the dev may deliver in the near future. The idea of this project is certainly extremely unique and no one else has acutally provided a proven, coded, released & tested alternative to date Period.

You either believe in dev's vision or you don't.

What VTR is trying to achieve put simply is a decentralised torrent client that does not rely on any central site like the pirate bay. Magnet links will be stored on the blockchain, and searchable via the QT wallet, this will solve any form of censorship, as everyone will have the magnet links stored on their chain in their wallet, so no third party required. Organisations like the MPAA who have lobbying governments globally, to get ISP's to sensor torrent sites, if you look at my country, the UK, it's getting harder and harder to access these sites, so VTR will solve this problem.

This is just one aspect of what VTR is trying to do, there any many more aspects such as selling access to private trackers and monetizing torrents, do some more research, read through the thread, from page 100 onwards would be a good place to start.

Thanks for the summary, you talk to monetize torrents .. I wonder if it is possible to give a value to something that is normally perceived as free.
I like the idea of decentralised torrent client, I wonder why a regular torrent user has to go on an exchange to buy some VTR? for torrenting?

Sites like these:http://www.btracs.com/ can charge for access to private torrents.

People are willing pay for rare, hard to find content, high quality and high speed access.

Negotiation for access can be done by the encrypted in wallet chat.

Charge or don't charge, you still get the same ecosystem in one place.

Has the dev said anything about integrating some sort of categorized listings into the blockchain? If so, could anyone lead me to where he said it or provide a quote?

Just over a month till the last fork.

[chronek]

dev's waiting for purevidz to be developed, it will be vidz + utorrent (vtorrent)

[wtman]

I like it, but 3 years and nothing yet? That sounds really bad.

Why did it take so long? And how long more is it likely to take?

[Geenstijl]

This coin should have used same strategy as Purevidz.

[leigh2k14]

It's a bitter pill to swallow when I have been following this project for 26 months, when purevidz launched a few weeks ago and just hit 1M marketcap.

I put this down to the way the developer interacts or lack of interaction with the investors in this project.

We'd be lucky if he logs in twice a month.

I don't care about FUD it's the truth.

Dev sort your shit out before this gets dumped to fuck and you lose all your followers.

sort of true - sound and groundbreaking tech is only one ingredient for success- community and marketing are another essential one.

just remember VHS vs BETAMAX, VHS was the inferior product but kicked BETA off the shelves just the same.

I completely agree, community is one of the essential key ingredients, the dev never seemed to get that, or just doesn't care.

I hope this doesn't end up like betamax.

[wtman]

Is there any proof that development is happening?

Next fork will be at block 1300000, 2FA already implemented but new wallet haven't been released jet.

Agree, community is important but no need to promote a project before software will be ready
Some innovative features have been already added to our wallet, like 2FA. vTorrent is the only one with this feature
