Someone is teaching a lesson. Unfortunately the pupil is simply not very smart at all...

As for the ICO money obviously drak considers it his. That's the long and the short of it.

viacoin ded?

Pretty much.  Drak won't answer about the 600 BTC ICO funds, even after multiple people from community keep requesting transparency.  In addition, clearwallet.co has been down for a couple days.

Apparently thin space symbol is missing from the font (Helvetica Neue?). Can you type the symbol (unicode 0x2009) in TextEdit?

Drak and Masternode feud: real-life drama, or cleverly staged FUD? The answer is not obvious, at least not yet.

hi Newbie.  welcome to VIA.  it's real, not staged.

To start a discussion on what different types of services/apps we can build on the Viacoin blockchain, I have added the following link of the Mega-Master Blockchain list:

25 most exiting BTC start-ups according to Uk.businessinsider

Of course all those start-ups wouldn't exist if Satoshi Nakamoto would not have been extremely generous at the launch of BTC with his 10.000BTC fund.  Cheesy  Wink
I guess some clever start-ups and investors out there, sooner or later will realise what VIA's robuste blockchain technology has to offer.
This list below shows the huge economy that is and can be build around the blockchain technology and it has all just started.

25. Edgelogic: Stamping out diamond thieves

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
viacoin ded?

What makes you think so?

Project is well funded, devs are active, we are progressing down the roadmap, intellichains and smart contracts are barely at the end of their beginning.

 Cool

In the mean time I'll buy some more.

Well, yes.  What any project needs is money (the sort you can pay your bills with), and I guess that comes from speculative buyers of the coin, because there is no other credible funding channel..


Developers have to live and pay bills, while they invest in the project.

The biggest concern I have is that Peter Todd got paid by Drak to implement stuff that he was going to implement for bitcoin already. Basically I feel he got to use Via as a test platform for something he was working on for bitcoin core already, and we paid him for it.

I think this is the same for treechains and side chains. I really think paying someone to do work that they were planning on doing anyway for bitcoin is a waste of funds.

My thought: Peter Todd is not deciding what may or may not be implemented in BTC. There is politics going on and responsability for a secure and stable network is huge in a billion$ economy and market.
That's (one of the reason) why Via was launched
VIA as BTC's 'sparring partner' is one of the reasons I am investing in VIA


+1

The only way to move forward is to help eachother out. In my opinion it is not that BTC will be better or Viacoin will be better. BTC and VIA can complete eachother. VIA took a lot from BTC so it is not strange to give back some love. If you look at github and the commits that are absorbed by Via, Via is getting the love back bigtime.

That is orthogonal to the point I was trying to make.

Also, another thing is that what Viacoin has, is strong developer support (see drak's github), which nowadays are much more valuable than marketing support.  That means that the grounds on which this project is on would hold up much more strongly than many when marketing kicks in  within it.. organically.

 This whole crypto-thing is honestly childish if I'm honest, it's a playground for short-term projects that want to make a few hundred thousand within a couple of months off of kids. It'll end soon, but what'll last, if any.. are the projects that are looked after by many developers and are platform oriented with room to tweak- that's where I see this project going along with 1 or 2 others.
Agree on both last posts of you
