Anyone taking bets on whether the dev will produce the goods with the next release? Could hedge in case of bitter disappointment after all this time.

You should sell then, here's a project for you, visio: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802371.0

now that is quite some rabbit hole you sent me down there!  

because there is not only this one (Visio), but also that one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1781895.0

seriously? the guy calls himself 'Asphyxia' ?!?! How creepy is that? And these monkeys take that guy for real?  

Nice quote from him:

thelg
whats the use for putting a cap?
(cut off)

asphyxia
I'm going to be as honest with you as I can
this project ....

S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S--- goes the Snake   - typical psycho speak!

But it seems they were less than thorough in covering their tracks:

Has dev ever said what will be released before the actual release?

No, He has mentioned things he's working on, he's always secretive as to the exact details of any release.

Dear all,

We have been monitoring the network and working with Bittrex to make sure there will be no issues and no coins will be lost during the hardfork.

I am pleased to inform you all that everything went smoothly and we have successfully switched the vTorrent network from Protocol v1 (80014 in 0.7.x) to v2 (80016 in 0.8.x) that took place on block 1,200,000.

As promised, new client with major upgrades is coming soon, it is still being worked on since there are some thread-related bugs causing the client to crash on certain conditions.

Regards,
vTorrent

I guess we'll just have to go off of this and trust that it's getting close.

So the new attack vector against torrent sites posting illegal content is to just take away their domain names

Wow. What happens when everything goes decentralized?

No censorship and Hollywood gets really butt hurt.

Decentralization is the future of torrents, the way it's going now, they will start locking you up for copyright infringement.

Hasn't this already been happening in Germany and some other places? Or just fines maybe

If they cant beat you, they join you... Pandora, Spotify, etc would never have been allowed if CD sales remained at the level they were in the 90s. Napster changed that just like vtorrent is going to change things again.

vTorrent the new Napster?  That depends on the dev.

I think your right, one or two Countries have locked up their citizens for copyright infringement already, if memory serves correct, I read something on torrent freak a while back, I can't be asked to go and look it up though.

Which is going to be very difficult if everything is passed through a decentralized network thats encrypted from the bottom up.

So the general consensus among those on this forum at least is a wait and see approach.  I get that, our Dev is pretty lackluster in the info department, but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing as long as there is progress being made.

I'm more than willing to just sit back and 'see what happens', but first, just a thing to consider.  Most successful projects at some point get some holders together to try and spread the word about the project, what's happening with DASH right now is the perfect case in point.  They have been hitting marketing real hard for a real long time.  So, if someone in the future wants to try and organize some kind of communal fund in VTR to fund the different things we all know this project needs, I'll be there to pitch in my staking reward at minimum to help out.

Good idea, can you imagine if we used to the staking reward to buy targeted ads on the major torrent sites. BOOM! Potentially, we could get millions checking VTR out very quickly.

I'd be willing to put forth my staking reward... though i doubt they'll amount to what others are staking.

I'll put forward mine too.

It should be done within the next 10 days in order to provide liquidity on the run up to the fork.

Suggestion - create a decent sized banner and advertise on a talk show like The Crypto Show; Mad Bitcoins; or sponsor an episode of letstalkbitcoin; or something around torrentfreak.

Interested to hear any other ideas.
