Well while there's hardwork going on for Viacoin merged mining
I made some reddit posts https://www.reddit.com/r/viacoin/

As some of you know, I own/run a small altcoin mining pool.
I made a SegWit Ready pool. I can probably test Viacoin SegWit mining on it.

Now VIA needs to go up in value over the next few months in order for the hashrate to be good again. 

It's going wel with SegWit and merged mining is being worked on at this moment.
I almost forgot about the block halving !

I will make a tweet with the Viacoin account

I just bought some last week, so seems like I was accidentally here at the perfect moment

How is it going with segwit Romano? Have you hired a developer?  

EDIT: did Viacoin just had a halving?  
Hashrate is down to 500/600 GH/s and the reward per block is now 0.625 VIA. Was this planned or did something wrong happen?

EDIT2: it looks like it was planned. Subsidy halving every 657000 blocks starting from block 1971001 so if my math is right we halved at block 3285001. Cool! The annualized inflation is now of only 3.5%.

I'm surprised no one is talking about it!  

Just tweeted about it. I'm happy to see there's still interest in Viacoin & Viacoin being listed next to those big marketcap coins.

I see VIAcoin registered on the site MERCATOX trade, I thought it might be better to add a new trade website to increase the popularity VIAcoin in the future, I hope the people in this thread also helped give a vote here for free

Via is still alive, nice!

This is a great recap!
Yes I want to do something special. An ICO would be great to get funds but it wouldn't be ideal. People would jump on it on excitement, coin would be added to yolobit & ccex but since people bought the ICO, volume would drie down on those 2 exchanges and the whole roadmap would fall in the water.

I'd like to contribute something to the bitcoin/crypto community and an older coin is excellent but Viacoin code is well written & the unit tests that have been written make it really stand out.

For its time in 2014.. Wallet generator, Seeder, Travis CLI unit tests and excellent code. Does anyone see coins getting released so professional in 2017? Not really.

If someone cloned Viacoin 2014 source code right now, change parameters and I can tell miners & ICO investors would jump on the "train".

Viacoin used to be a big dog back in the days. I'm sure we can make it great again. The only reason it went down is because of a few certain people who can't code but did fud in the past.

Yes mostly I solo queue Viacoin development but for marketing I have a few friends helping me out. Take as example Litebit.eu and Litepaid.eu to attract merchants & investors. Those 2 don't accept coins easily.

If anyone has questions, let me know on Btct of twitter. I'm always online Atleast 17h per day. 
Not like those developers on btct who are suddenly gone for days/weeks and you don't know if they ran away or died

Thanks! It sound solid and it's nice to see so much progress in such a short amount of time.

What you said is a pretty valid summary of where we are at. New developer, old one crapped out on everyone - Romano is grinding out a lot of good things. But it's a 1-2 person team (from what I know) and there is little marketing going on with the project outside of the occasional article going on. I personally think the low market cap is due to the fact the crypto world is always focusing on "what's new/what's next" - not realizing old projects have turnover in developers and essentially change the direction of the project.

If Romano had started a brand new coin from scratch, come up with a catchy name and then released the same road map and done the ever so popular ICO he probably could have raised 500+BTC on the hype. But instead he was probably already invested in VIA (I don't know this, he can speak for himself) and wanted to carry along an already developed coin. He also emphasized the fact VIA was already trading on polo, which is a hard feat to accomplish these days. The crypto space doesn't often catch up to projects like this quickly because again, it's not "new" and many people like to try and chase the shiny object.

There is also something to be said about the very minimal order books. Without strong liquidity a lot of larger investors will stay away. This creates a chickun/egg situation where large investors avoid coins with no liquidity but it takes large investors to build support. I will say though slowly the support books have been growing. In the few months I've been following the projects the average support levels have grown from 5BTC to 15BTC up to ~30BTC for the last week or so.

Purely based on the effort/production of Romano it is only a matter of time before others start to notice the progress being made. VIA is a coin not on many people's radar but is releasing more updates on a regular basis the a majority of the coins in the market. I've been recommending it to friends for the last 6+ weeks and still think it's a good buy in the 4000 level. I bought about 20BTC worth and don't plan to sell until it's at least at 10,000.

I was looking for new coins to invest in and noticed that this coin has a very high hashrate, but a relatively low market cap. Checking out the work currently made on the coin it seems like a pretty safe bet to buy some. So what I understand from some quick browsing is that the new developer Romano took over from the original developer and that a lot of things are in the works,

Would anybody be so kind to grant me a short recap about the awesomeness? And why the low market cap?

Thanks in advance

Make Viacoin great again!

Poloniex uses a lot of different addresses to store its coins but there isn't one address per customer. However, you can see all the Poloniex addresses here:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/via/#!wallets
It is the top wallet, containing 6,000,000 coins and 302 addresses.

The addresses I'm talking about are NOT part of Poloniex or any other exchange as far as I know.
I received a PM telling me that these coins were probably coins held by Bittrex that they massively moved to lots of different cold storage addresses 3 months ago. Looking at the transaction history it might be the explanation. 

I don't quite understand how the rich list works because I don't see my address on the list. Not sure if that's because I have my coins on polo but I thought I'd still have a unique ID... maybe not. So I question the accuracy of the list.

@yhlsqj this is a long term game, a small dump to 3k is totally insignificant to them if they plan to pump it 3x, 5x or 10x later this year. If I were them I would put everything on hold until the 0.13.2 release.
Of course I might very well be wrong but still, the dates and times of all these transactions must not be a coincidence, are they?

Congratz on the release Romano, I'll update my node ASAP.

Do you think these whales REALLY bought them? But now they are in -EV because the current price is 3k, they bought between 4k to 8k. It is illogical story, if they are all real whales, they would hold and protect the price dumps to 3k again. I think some people panic bought many coins

I was sneaking around on the viacoin richlist and discovered that some whale is accumulating a HUGE load of viacoins.

Look at those wallets, all were filled on the 18th of october, when we saw a surge of volume (150+ BTC on Poloniex) and the price went to 7k+

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/via/address.dws?207549.htm
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/via/address.dws?207571.htm

And another one that accumulated when we saw a surge in volume on January 3rd (80+ BTC on Poloniex) and the price went to 4k+:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/via/address.dws?212920.htm

I'm pretty sure (thanks to the date / time of wallet transfers) that the same person is holding all these coins, a total of more than 6,284,000 coins (29% of all coins!!!). Also it seems that none of these addresses are polo/bittrex addresses, so these are probably coins in cold storage.

If someone accumulated as many coins at prices between 4k and 8k satoshis, you can be sure that when this whale decides to pump the coin, it will blow past 10k very easily. I really can't wait for it to happen.  

Viacoin Core 0.10.11 Will be released this week ! Windows binaries will be available too.
I'm testing it myself now & launched 3 cloud servers. If that goes well (off course) it it will be an official release.

Also it will be intresting to see if a good amount of people will update their wallets/nodes
