How likely is torrent features after 1.3M block? Wouldn't that require a new client? Am I getting pumped for nothing, is this gonna be another Y2K bug fizzer?

How likely is torrent features after 1.3M block? Wouldn't that require a new client? Am I getting pumped for nothing, is this gonna be another Y2K bug fizzer?

Just want to clarify


https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/blob/711eb781749dfbe00d9a46169a450203a1493671/src/chainparams.cpp


The current wallet / client that we're all using.

It's already set to just switch over to a new way to calculate how interest on staking coins are calculated.

That switch means that before block 1,300,000 the calculations on how interest is awarded to everyone staking is done one way, but after block 1,300,000 it will be done a different way.

So everyone will be hard forked onto a different way of calculating interest on their staking coins.

There are also likely to be some other minor changes too.

But, you can't have two ways of calculating interest on the same network. So this needs a hard fork.

BUT THESE HARD FORK CHANGES DO NOT EQUAL TORRENT FEATURES.

What it does mean is that if a new client comes out with more upgrades, we're likely to be another step closer to what the dev seems to have in mind which is get the clients / wallets updated with everything you'll need when running torrents, and then release the torrent features.

Any updated client / wallets might not need a hard fork, just a new version, but we don't know that for sure.

For example, the current clients have the code for TOR AND I2P, but I don't think they will work. It probably means that these features will become active in the next release.

If you know how to use TOR AND I2P, you'll have that option when connecting your client and downloading /uploading stuff you're interested in. So which do you do first, torrents or TOR / I2P?

I would release torrents after laying the foundations.

I, for one, welcome our new vtorrent overlords.

Thanks, good explanation!

BITTORRENT IS ALREADY RUNNING ON THE TESTING CLIENTS

If you look on Github, you can see that the code to turn on BitTorrent - AND IT IS BITTORRENT - that's already there.


https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/blob/769c926cd8e8f881b384d30501b637e2bab30e89/vtorrent-qt-hd.pro

Then if you look at the video the devs released a few months back, you can see that the current client is already able to run BitTorrent


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fyK0z5APXI

So I don't think we need a hard fork to make the BitTorrent functionality work. I could be 100% wrong. But I think it's there, working. It might be buggy, but I think it's been working for a while and any bugs might be related to the recent wallet upgrades.

I thought we knew it was working?
I bet that is just the bittorrent manager, as seen in the OP.

The slack channel has discovered anyone can upload an Emjoi without needing admin permissions.

This could spell the end for BCT as a forum.

lol

Slack convo is actually quite amusing.

block 1,300,001 looks like it just successfully occurred.

so hardfork successful I believe.

A few words from the dev when he comes online would be nice.

Maybe that wallet he promised us too.

The new staking model is working great. A lot fewer orphans and better overall rewards  

So who got the hard fork time correct?

Dear all,

Before our project can move on to the next step, we need to ensure that our client will be completely scalable and stable from its core.

Please report if you are holding significant amount of VTR and experiencing low usability (client freezes) and if there is any improvement after block 1,300,000.

Regards,
vTorrent

Was I close?

My wallet is staking well since we past 1.3 block!

Fork seems to be working great so far.

But the community which has gotten a little bigger recently, which is good for network security, are getting a little anxious about Bittorrent - a nice picture or another youtube video would probably settle them down for another 6 months.

Lol you really should be in medicine. Show the guy a video and calm nerves down for 6 months.
