With what's happening with XCP today I wonder whether there's an opening for VIA/XCH with Medici?
Was hoping NXT, personally.

i doubt they will go with nxt, nxt is too decentralized for their taste. They will most likely have their own blockchain.
You're probably right.  Sad 
 

Overstockcoin?  Huh

Hold shit.. why don't you guys list the ports on the main post?!

Because there is no need to list them when they are set by default.


I disagree. (Held off using an expletive Wink I think my last post was the first time ever on BTCTalk.)
RPC and P2P ports need to be stated so pool operators, solo miners, and anyone wanting to open firewall ports know what to use.

I was perturbed that it took so much effort to find them and was not in the best of moods when I posted my complaint but still stand by my statement that they should be clearly posted in the original post. Easy to do and it will help others trying to support this coin.

Enterprise firewalls don't and shouldn't support upnp so you have to set them manually.

In my case I was setting up merged mining using p2pool and needed to open up ports on the firewall. Neither one of those are "set by default".

It's also right there in the help

Code:
$ viacoin-cli
Viacoin Core RPC client version v0.10.6.5

Usage:
  viacoin-cli [options] [params]  Send command to Viacoin Core
  viacoin-cli [options] help                List commands
  viacoin-cli [options] help       Get help for a command

Options:
  -?                     This help message
  -conf=           Specify configuration file (default: viacoin.conf)
  -datadir=         Specify data directory
  -testnet               Use the test network
  -regtest               Enter regression test mode, which uses a special chain in which blocks can be solved instantly. This is intended for regression testing tools and app development.
  -rpcconnect=       Send commands to node running on (default: 127.0.0.1)
  -rpcport=        Connect to JSON-RPC on (default: 5222 or testnet: 25222)
  -rpcwait               Wait for RPC server to start
  -rpcuser=        Username for JSON-RPC connections
  -rpcpassword=      Password for JSON-RPC connections

What are they?!

•RPC Port:  5222 (?)
•P2P Port:  5223 (?)

Yes, I'm a little pissed having to spend so much time going through the code trying to find something that should be on the first post.

This web site has the wrong info:

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/13521-viacoin-via-information/

...and the code is littered with the old bitcoin ports.

@FAILCommunity
I am not naive, and I am somewhat paranoid... but my decision to support Viacoin is completely rational, and i'm not trying to hide any of your points under the carpet. Many of us in this community have noted these points before, considered and evaluated the risks of being scammed, and eventually concluded that this coin is legit, the developers and their efforts are real, their progress is real, and we support it... in spite of FUD and self concerns that i'm sure everyone has at some point or another.


+1. It's an act of faith. There is no rational argument to be had, indeed it is counter productive to make a good case.

Decent developers get on with the job, get enough capital together, and lots of reward too.

Enough said! But there is rational argument - no hype and work (behind the "scenes" - as every good businessman should do). There is no need to read 25 posts/day from the developer or announcing "possible" news in a week or so. As simple as that.

^^ Is this really the response the viacoin community is going to leave with for this concern? When there is no valid explanation we just sweep any crticism/concern under the rug?


a. It's a free world, in which anyone can invest as they like, as much as the like/ have/ or believe in a project.

b. OTOH has proven to be a legit long-term hodler, far from the P&D type.

c. BTCdrak has proven to be a legit long-term hodler, far from the P&D type.

d. BTCdrak holds funds of the 'community'. they are not his. These funds are used to support the development of Viacoin & CH. If your point is that there needs to be agreement / control / consensus / multi-sig / whatever on these accounts, then my response is that this has never been debated as BTCdrak has earned himself reputation as responsible and fully dedicated, and i myself have no fears of him scamming me etc.

e. OTOH holds 1.5m coins out of 13m coins. that is far from having a 'control' over the coinbase. Furthermore, more coins are mined every 24sec, so next year his stack will be of merely several percents of the coinbase... i.e. nothing to be alarmed from, and certainly not in a position of control.

f. A few days ago, someone bought 100k viacoins in less than an hour... It is a free market, and you are invited to buy as much as you want. In today's prices, if you desire to reach a similar 'control' stake as OTOH, it takes merely 150BTC of investment...

I couldn't post yesterday because BCT was down.

FontAwesome is a popular webfont used pretty much everywhere these days on the internet. They released version 4.3.0 yesterday with the Viacoin currency symbol! I'm cross posing with reddit here.

As a Viacoin owner and believer I'm very pleased to see Viacoin symbol in Font Awesome but I can't understand how you managed to make this happened (if you are part of it) because, if I'm not mistaken, only Bitcoin shares this privilege for now.

so far so good on cointron... had to stop coinking when they suspended merge mining with "no ETA on the date of restoration"

Would be nice to have an answer of my legitimate concerns from the top viacoin community members..kamala, yingsena, or btcdrak himself. Or even that Erik Kohler (?) guy who's supposed to be the Viacoin Community manager that we haven't heard anything from in months.


At least spell my name right  Undecided

No updates as I've had a bunch of other projects (ones that pay) on my plate, but I'll hope to be active in the community end in the near future.

FYI

Viacoin has been added to merged mining with LTC on coinotron.com pool. ATM VIA coins are increasing your profits by about 2%
VIA coins are mined in proportional mode, coins need 3600 ( about 1 day ) confirmations to be available for the withdrawal.

This is a very welcome addition to the ecosystem. Thanks in advance! I tweeted about it too.

How about the mining profit of  VIA and LTC atm?


It is about 2% of LTC. So mining LTC+VIA you are receiving 2% more than just mining LTC.

DOGE profit is about 8% atm.
