It's an A2 miner with 4 blades, I have it about 6 months.
The first months it was very profitable, it took about 4 months to ROI.
Now I'm happy when I get net. 0.66 BTC/month with it, mainly because I'm not looking for the most profitable coin.
With VIA it is even less at the moment, but I expect the price to go up in the future.
Anyway mining is just a fun thing, you won't get rich with it, with trading you can earn a lot more.

I really have no idea about the mining token reward.

ok, ASIC scrypt miners, have you heard of neoscrypt ? I thinking Genesis Mining could utilize it before long but I don't know if they use GPU scrypt miners. If i was going to mine from home that's what I'd be looking at.

The thinking behind the Via mining reward token is basically to reward Viacoin miners so if you mine Viacoin you can earn Viamine tokens not sure how the proof of mine would be possible for home miners though, maybe via a pool or something .

GM had quite large GPU farms before buying ASICs, but I think the GPUs will be used for the X11 contracts they will be starting soon.

the private key is bip38 encrypted

Ah yes, I just saw that in their faq section. Very clever

I rather like these batter.

https://www.cryobit.co/cold-storage-products/cryo-card/

You should be able to provide a Viacoin PK and bip38 encrypted pk as well.

thanks for informing that.
wait for anyone to test?

If you need to generate bip38 private keys you can do so here: https://viacoin.github.io/address-generator/

All of these smart contract type of implementations, and no one is tackling the most important aspect. Building adoption for crypto currencies by utilizing social networks. When the average internet user sees this, they will be so overwhelmed and probably not even get into crypto at all. We need to focus on gaining crypto adoption before just jumping right to the next gen implementations. We need a social network implementation that allows us to spend crypto on facebook...

do you know the multicoin tipping app on facebook? Do you know changetip for youtube, twitter and co? I think we need both worlds. Bitcoin as the first app and the development of new apps.

how about the woodwallets.io?
is that good and safe for going there?

No it isn't because you would be storing your wealth in an address that someone else may have the private key to.
It introduces trust into a system designed not to require it.

There have been many cases where offline wallet software has been manipulated to be non-random and people have had their crypto stolen sometimes weeks later if you care to google it.

Best thing you can do is generate your own address and send the public part to the wood/metal wallet maker, weird to have the public and private keys together on the same trinket anyway, not wise at all.

What is happening on the market? Someone is constantly dumping and suppressing. Could be in his own walls of course, but don't know.
I'm buying more myself, want to have a certain amount to put on a woodwallet to get it out when VIA is worth 3 USD a piece.

I know, this sounds like the typical $coinname fanboy, but Via is way different than other currency's - imho -. And yes, that's exactly the same as people say about their own beloved coin... but hey, they don't have btcdrak and Todd Wink

Hi, i'm new and don't know much about Via so could you tell me why it is way different than other currencies?

mhh, not very nice that nobody is answering you. Have a look here for a start: http://blog.viacoin.org/2014/07/11/the-story-of-viacoin.html

thanks

Received the first Tip towards the Viacoin community mining project the other day, thank you bitstickers.

For anyone who would like to support the project, http://yingsena.tip.me there's also Viamine available on Clearwallet's Exchange. Remember Viamine will likely earn dividend back from the project at a later date so hold them if you can get them.

Should have something on reddit soon

Np I am glad that I could support your effort and tipping is fun Cheesy
