Wallet 0 has sold 400K, probably pissed off waiting for dev.

I don't think they sold - hasn't been any large sells in the last few days. More likely he has withdrawn 400k from Bittrex.

I've been watching wallet 0 and I can confirm he has withdrawn (not sold) 400K coins.

It would be silly to sell IMO, unless you need the money which means you were overinvested anyway.

PR twitter account was very active last month when the price rose in anticipation of MegaUpload 2.0.

From cypherpunks mailing list:

Several Pirate Bay users from ISPs all over the world have been
unable to access their favorite torrent site for more than a week.
Their requests are being stopped in the Internet backbone network
of Cogent Communications, which has blackholed the CloudFlare
IP-address of The Pirate Bay and many other torrent and streaming
sites.
When the average Internet user types in a domain name, a request
is sent through a series of networks before it finally reaches the
server of the website. This also applies to The Pirate Bay and other
pirate sites such as Primewire, Movie4k, TorrentProject and
TorrentButler. However, for more than a week now the US-based
backbone provider Cogent has stopped passing on traffic to these
sites. The sites in question all use CloudFlare, which assigned
them the public IP-addresses 104.31.18.30 and 104.31.19.30. While
this can be reached just fine by most people, users attempting to
pass requests through Cogent's network are unable to access them.

As you guy are probably aware from my last few posts, my patience is wearing thin, I would like to add that if we don't go live after all this time, I am done with this project.

Edit: at the very least show something torrent related.

I guess we'll find out in one month.

I'm not sure what you expect from this project/dev or why you've hung around this long. This is something that hasn't been done before. I'm no coder but I expect the first release to be late and limited in functionality, if it works at all. It may also be buggy and unusable, necessitating further delays and rewrites. Software development is a long, arduous process, and the dev seems more focussed of coding than appeasing impatient investors.

Again, this project is what it is. Progress is slow, methodical, and somewhat shrouded in mystery. But it is progressing, the fundamentals clear. The goal of a torrent platform that incentivizes seeding is appealing and potentially very useful. The decentralized nature can prevent takedowns and censoring. Ease of use will be especially attractive to the less technically minded. I can imagine indie content creators moving from closed, restrictive platforms like Youtube. I see it growing as a portal to unrestricted, high quality, and rare content for those willing to pay a fair price, likely many, many ordinary people. And I see the value of VTR rising with the increased utility and velocity.

However, this will all take time, perhaps even years. But if you've got the foresight to buy while it's cheap, and the patience to trade/hold through this frustrating development process, you may eventually be rewarded handsomely. I know that's why I'm here. Otherwise, wait for the impending hardfork and pump, sell out, and move to another project with better PR.

Agreed 100%
It seems that many projects that have as much innovation take an extreme amount of times; as I've said previously on this thread when it comes to BitTorrent and Bitcoin many have promised and few have delivered.

If it were really that easy I'm sure someone would've released it over the past 7 years of real, workable cryptocurrency.
Instead we have a bunch of competing projects and nothing solid yet--its kinda similar to how everyone expected cryptocurrency to exist but no one over quite a period of time managed to make it actually work until Satoshi stepped in.

Bought another 3k vtr ... i won't miss $100 if it crashes, but I'll be doing backflips if vtorrent comes through.

Well said. And this is very much a convolution of technologies in order to solve problems nagging torrent-based clients/platforms, chiefly centralized trackers, takedowns and censorship, virii and malware, IP tracking with dubious lawsuits, lack of content and seeders, etc. Users will be rewarded for uploading and seeding, incentivising reliable, high-quality, available content, all on one secure, decentralized, anonymous platform. I'd like to see a reputation system of sorts added, where trustworthy seeders are recognized accordingly. Hopefully a market of original content will blossom, proving once and for all that artists can make a living without draconian DRM or corporate backing, where fair compensation for one's digital works is possible. I hope to see further add-ons like built-in media playback and live streaming, in-wallet currency exchange, cloud storage, VPN services, and full mobile compatibility. All in good time, as they say.

Also worth noting is that Kim is planning on releasing Megaupload 2 / Bitcache in Q4 2017.

So there is no real viable project with anything to offer right now.

I think JoyStream is getting closer to launching. That project is the most similar to VTR.

The only issue for JoyStream is BTC fees and BTC chain bloat. For its existing investors and the founders, JoyStream is interesting, but no one else can participate until it gets to the point of an IPO, which could be 3-10 years away, at best.

With VTR, you get JoyStream functionality, plus a lot more in terms of privacy, and you get to participate as an investor by just going to Bittrex.

Hi Magaura, glad to see you here!
Next update should come at block 1300000 with next planned fork but I've seen the new wallet in network several times last weeks, waiting for it recently dev says that is going to add RIOT (anonymous chat similar to slack) in vtorrent wallet

But we've gone to the trouble of designing the pitch forks now. It'll be hard to stop the crowd from rioting.

How did you work that out?

Ok, you don't have to tell your calculation method as that's probably your own secret sauce.

I get ~ March 16 @ 5am

Hi to all VTR supporters, its my first post althought i support already for a year.
Is a smartphone app already discussed?
And with staking POS do i need to be connected all the time? And my staking is not everytime all i Have in wallet.
Where can i find how it works?
I re-read almost all the posts back, but its not all clear.

Thanks in advance.

A smartphone app hasn't really been discussed but has been shown by dev via a YouTube video; its likely given the vision of the project (to be an all inclusive A>Z app that features crypto) that we'll see this at some point though.

If you're PoS staking then yes, you do need to be connected 24/7. Or just when your computer is on.

Generally speaking PoS works upon the age of your coins, so if your coins have been in your wallet for ~7 days (can't remember exact figure) then you would achieve maximum stake. This varies depending on the cryptocurrency you're using.

These aspects of this cryptocurrency are very general to cryptocurrency in general so are featured in several other projects which is why they've never really been discussed at length here; for the most part its assumed that people have some experience of PoS given crypto projects in general.
