I won't disagree.  But if Doge is dying, then what more via.

EDIT:  And with talks going around that Drak pocketed the IPO all for himself is true, then some couldn't help but classify via as a scam s*itcoin.  Something which I fear will fudded for months to come by the same people who invested in the project at the beginning.

I think Drak being quiet and just letting the issue die down is a good move in order to protect himself and this project. 

In the drama. Over several times I wasn't surprised.

I can agree that it was different, but it has something in common. If you look closely, coins which are fighting for relevancy today are pretty much the same (as numbers). I'm not saying that VIA will be relevant.. I'm saying that people will eventually learn their lesson and that lesson is to stop giving value to s*itcoins. At the end... some of the coins which are fighting for relevancy will succeed, but in the mean time a lot more people will be distracted from cryptocurrencies.

EDIT: Doge is dying.. no question about it.

The scene was different back then.  Now there are a lot more altcoins fighting for relevancy today.  So there's a big chance via will not become relevant.  I mean Dogecoin, which is considered a 'joke' currency, is in a better position to become relevant than most altcoins due to its social following.

People with opinions such as yours are buying pizza for 10,000 BTC (most of all probably know the story). Next time try to look on something closely. Some of us don't need to be taught and they can make the difference between coins for daytrading/fast profits and coins for long term (yes, that concept still exists). Cryptocurrencies such as DarkBlackAnonDogeCoin will always be valued more, until most of you learn their lessons. 

Sad but there will be no "things start looking good again"

VIA at 2k soon. Have a nice day VIA holders

This.  Enough is enough.  Dump now and leave.  Just come back if things start looking good again.

Gogogo keep buying at 3k sats!  Very good call indeed.  

sidhujang, all that 3 BTC volume on bittrex all from you?  

Get it every time

VIA would start looking good if bought under .00001 btc.

Fudders keep fudding please.  Let it fall.

Bro

I'm a bit tipsy, but again this is general idea

Drak has worked on VIA and he is continuing to work on VIA. He didnt bail. THE so called IPO was actually a PRESALE. So far the tech has been delivered, and he is delivering constantly.

Being a presale, all the funds are belonging to him, and he will use them as he sees fit.

Also, if you guys feel that VIA is a lost cause, then please drop your bags, I'm waiting to buy even more bags at 300 satoshis because i believe in the tech, and if this goes anywhere, the Risk/Reward is huge. I can fucking spend $1000 to invest in a project and not give a shit. This can easily go 10X if a company accepts its blockchain or something crazy like that. So i'm willing to risk 1K USD to make 10K USD. if you cant, plz drop bags and gtfo

As for me I'm just trying to decide if its worth it to dollar-cost avg, hodl my remaining bags, or sell it all ... this is the fun part 

at the worst, its not very classy on BTCDraks part...imo

according to members of the community, yes this is the case.  but don't you find it strange that Drak does not answer, and instead random community members answer on his behalf? 

--

after looking back on the forum there was a bit of a misconception going around... but everyone was too hyped on the pump to correct/clarify...convenient...still should be obvious that the community gave/purchased to/from BTCdrak, 600btc, and he can do what he wants with it...like gamble with cobain and the crew on bitfinex


and this is worth resurfacing

such a baller call

Correct me if Im wrong, the ICO funds became Draks do with as he wishes. He hasn't gone silent, and seems active with VIA, but the funds primary use was not for further development of VIA, right or wrong?

Secondly, wtf is going. I re-bought into via around 8k, and these dumps started happening. Is this really just a whale throwing a temper tantrum, or is this some sly shake out before some big news is dropped. All I've heard is circular reasoning and the same arguments being lobbied back and forth. How do we break out of this cycle, and move forward.

No link, then he didn't say anything of the sort.  Then the other guy could be lying.

'Everything you say can and will be used against you.' This adagium is good to keep in mind concerning the FUDsters and I am sure Drak does.

My view
With close involvement of BTC devs, VIA is a project where the core-devs are trying to further improve and work out the high standards of BTC blockchain technology and aiming to find solutions for existing problems concerning for example scaling and security. It is also about considering and anticipating what all can be done on top of the blockchain, since VIA is about 2.0 technology.
After all, blockchain technology is aiming for a multi billion dollar economy, and security and rubustness of blochchain and network is therefore a huge responsabilty and priority. I guess it comes with exitement, but also with sleepless nights.

The name 'Chief scientist' for Peter Todd says it all. It means the Via-project is a scientific (and therefore experimental) project that is concerned with trying to find solutions for existing challenges. The technological matters are far above the knowledge of the average crypto investor (including mine). I am following Peter Todd at Twitter, as probably many of us do, and clearly the issues at stake are complex and delicate. As I understand, development involves a lot of discussions on how to solve problems, what alternatives can be considered, which comes with economical, mathematical, coding, pragmatic, political and even philosophical considerations.
Therefore I understand this is a process that is hard to put in terms of a roadmap.
Via is open source so not just depending theoretically on contributions of Drak and Todd solely.

About motivation, I read Drak is mining VIA himself and I expect him accumulating a good amount of VIA. Besides, as participators in the BTC development, I think Drak and Todd simply are aiming for the highest prof standards. Which is a combination of having a professional down to earth attitude of making something solid and a spirit of pioneering in a relatively new area. So, motivation is a combination of professional, ambition and economical motives.

As the fake Zynga pump has shown, it could only need one serious real world company adoption for VIA in order to take off, but a slow adaptation is also possible. Like BTC, it could go all to zero (not likely) or it could be part of an immense new blockchain based trillion $ economy. Time will tell, but seen the economy build on BTC in six years it all looks exciting. And, patience is required. This demand an adult attitude in a sometimes adolecent environment.
My advise therefore: invest only what you can miss and hold midterm/longterm, unless you are an experienced daytrader.

The answer is in a recent VIA blog short update.

I've also been looking & I cannot see any talk of crowdfunding anywhere even though masternode says they are numerous & easy to find. After reading pages & pages the only thing I could find about the presale was it was an alternative method of distribution to mining. Nothing is said about what happens to the money & no-one asked... seems like some people are making a lot of assumptions rather than checking the facts.

For me I am more interested if the proejct is still ongoing than fretting about the presale. So long as the project moves forward, even slowly, it seems ok for me. I am assuming its not been abandoned because btcdrak is still active here. But if not been answered already, I would like to hear from btcdrak if viacoin is still an active project or not.
