He Romano, Amsterdam hier. Met jou aan het roer gaat die coin
als de brandweer. Mijn complimenten. Ik zou je bijna het kampioenschap wensen 

what about the Segwit progress??the segwit concept is too hot now

Awesome! Great news!

Let's have a moment of silence though, to commemorate the cheap VIA of a couple of weeks ago. We will never see them again

Viacore almost ready.

an Infrastructure to build Viacoin & blockchain-based applications.

1. I don't know any way to enrich your VIA except for trading Viacoins in swings.
2. Read the whitepaper about Viacoin Styx TumbleBit (yes most of you still don't get the whitepaper is based on TumbleBit). Well if I have to compare Monero ring tokens vs Dash I think Monero is safer. Dash masternodes are often hosted by a company but the NSA could already have control over those servers with the  the masternode owners not knowing it. TumbleBit however is an untrusted tumbler. Which is better.
(if someone doesn't agree or thinks I'm missing something, send me a pm I'm interested in people who know way more than me)
3. Not planning for POS. Pow with merged mining is safe & is the reason Viacoin survived for so long.
4. Offcourse it would be beneficial. I hired a Dev from my own money ($5k) to help with merged mining Segwit. (code is now very different)
5. I never really give a time frame. It's done when it's done. I see devs often embarrassing themselves with giving time frames that are unrealistic. It hurts a coin more & takes away trust instead of giving it. But that's according to my own observations.
6. A high hashrate makes the network more safe. It also shows that people show interest in Viacoin. However 1.4 TH/s is exceptional. That's pretty much mining on a competitive level.

Fantastic work, as always! The market is always rewarding hard work and progress! No wonder Otoh supports this, he sees hard work and potential.

I have few questions:

1. Is there are way we can enrich our viacoins except mining?  I have a nice stash of via. Can I "borrow" them to some mining pool or stake in wallet (I know via is pow but asking just in case) or anything else? Right now my coins are just sitting on a exchange.
2. What does Romanothink about this masternode concept? Good? Bad? Ponzi? Gimmick? Is this only possible in pos?
3. Seems like Pos is gaining popularity, even ETH might switch. What is the plan for via? Is this even possible? I dont know if it is even good.
4. Would it be beneficial for romano to hire some dev to help him?
5. Is there any time frame for segwit (signaling or implementation or whatever tat is  called, sorry I am not that knowledgable about this). Seems like every coin that starts that segwith ticker shoots up In any case, happy that segwit is on the roadmap
6. Does the hashrate increase mean more and more people are minning via? I get it it's a good thing but how exactly is hash rate a good thing?

In any case, thanks for all the hard work Romano.

It´s look like we are going SegWit very soon, just some mining testing before, romano keep the good work.

horay, ppl race to mining VIA 

Also Viacoin Hashrate All time high

The future is now. :-) great job!

Also small update for Vialectrum
https://github.com/vialectrum/vialectrum/commit/eee62be5d9594a044f25929a0f280ce36dc256b7

* parse pubkey in Segwit_script
* check parameter type of create_new_address
* fix #2353: show error when sweeping dust
* fix #2356: scriptSig parsing exception

Been working on the Viacore Library already. Just thinking 2 steps ahead. 
Incase I need to build Viacoin Applications soon.

 
0.13.2 will be luanched?

a new soul for this coin, make it better day by day 

you can count it as a new start

This coin is an OG coin (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-via-viacoin-the-future-of-digital-currency-699278), btcdrak used to be the dev back in the day, but passed it out off to a new dev who is very capable, romano. New dev made a new ann for it this year with his vision and plans for it.

OP thread date is 2017 and we're already at 22mil out of 23mil max coin supply.

Was this coin just been made public this year?

looking forward to it!

it happens. Just select another server.

I agree. Viacoin should announce more actively its big strength - support of segwit.

Vialectrum server is lagging?
