I assume you run Windows.

Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:
explorer %APPDATA%\Viacoin
Viacoin's data folder will open. For most users, this is one of the following locations:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Viacoin (Windows 7 and 10)

You will see a wallet.dat file. Copy/save that.

The best way is to export your privkey. In Help  > console
dumpprivkey "myaddress"

That will give you the privkey.

and to import for your other computer.
importprivkey "mykey"

how do i backup my wallet?
if i lose my computer, how do i access my previous viacoin wallet?

Ah ok, thnx for the info!

There is no real reason to hide it on purpose..
Decent marketing can`t be harmfull in this sphere..

Hi, just bought myself in to this coin. Did do my research and it looks promissing.

- Active development and dev
- Senior investors
- Community financial supporting
- Low marketcap and coincap
- lightningnetwork and Atomic Swap upcomming:)


When this coin starts to get more attraction it could seriously fly.

Glad I could buy in cheap!

Just wondering whether this coin is kept quite under the radar by purpose?

My point is that posts like yours add absolutely nothing to the discussion.

They are just rants that scare off potential buyers for a solid coin.

You ranted that you're losing money on a high risk high profit investment, guess what, it's high risk.

For all we know this coin could die in few months (I don't see that happening).

Just to say, there are here people like me that bought this coin when it was priced 4 times the current price and are not bitching.

Either you buy and hold and wait or if you fear of losing your money you dump now, it's not like you have many other choices.

Regardless, price in fiat is kinda pointless since it's tied ot BTC price, which felt by a lot recently.

Small update.

I have been talking with the namecoin dev about Auxpow (Merged mining). They are merged mined coins upstreams.
They had issues with Segwit, BIP9 Auxpow quirks and wanted to hardforks to fix the versionbits issues.

Viacoin solved this by using miners signaling only and block height timeout for it if they didn't signal.
So Namecoin is looking if they can use our method and together we might get a better Auxpow C++11 implemention.
Right now that's holding me back a bit.

Another update.
Ledger Nano S will support Viacoin Segwit transactions. I just updated the code.

Btw if anyone is confused by the whole Auxpow versionbits issues you can watch this talk by the namecoin devs: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/namecoin-monero
Viacoin solved this without doing a hardfork

Its not gonna hurt via, but it might hurt some newcomer who might get confused and buy it. Very irresponsible of exchange to do that

I wonder why now another cryptocurrency is appearing, founded by some crap Corporation,
which also intends to use the same ticker symbol "VIA" !

It's called xviata (VIA) and listed at the bottom of the C-Cex exchange voting list:

https://c-cex.com/?id=vote

Their homepage is:

https://xviata.com/en/

What in God's name is going on here ?? Like WTF !!?

These motherfuckers gonna steal Viacoins ticker symbol !

So people who are concerned can't place this on this FORUM ?

A little more respect should be on his place. I never said i don't believe in VIA.

And buying more i don't know who you are. But I have a home that I have to pay off and
other costs and obligations. Sorry if i'm not that rich like you.

And it is short-sighted to think that it's good that via goes from 2 dollar to 1.2 dollars again so you can buy more. Only with Bitcoin you could say that but with alts that's another thing.

Bitcoin is here to stay but more than the half of alts that exist today will die within 3 to 4 years and will be replaced with other new alts. And like i said, it's not always the best product that take the number 1 spot. But the product that the people know or learn to know.

And a coin without good marketing and a pump an dump reputation (even if it's not a pump and dump coin) will miss the train and will die.
And then al the cheaper coins you bought will be worth 0. good luck with that.

And you need to stop compare crypto with stock markets. It's not the same thing. Also i started with 3 k 2years ago and already made more then 50 K profit and still have a crypto wallet of 60 K butt still i'm not so stupid to put all of my profit in 1 coin just because of the reasons above. and i know there are a lot of others guys here who made a lot more than i did but i don't think i'm a fukking newbie.

And maybe you do'nt follow much other alts but a couple of shit coins are rising like hell with 1 medium upgrade and if you loke at VIA with a super dev and al the good upgrades and news rise up from 1 to 2 dollars to be dumped to 1.2 again. It's sad to see that and if via cant brake trough VIA and all the investors and believers (Me 2) will miss the train. And again all you're cheap coins you bought will be worth even less to maybe 0.

And now in these days long term in crypto can be 6 months because crypto is just starting and in 6 months a lot can change for the good but also the other side.

I don't get the problem with low prices.

If you believe in the project you can buy more, can't you?

That's what I did.

Will never understand people that invest to see 1.5-2x in few days.

Remember that in normal financial markets a 10-15% return in one year is extremely rare.

So chill, jesus.

If you don't believe in the coin dump it, nobody could care less here.

Obviously marketing is a part of it but in the end id rather have my money on a forward looking team like via has.  Short term ups and down are expected in every alt, via isnt alone in that.  There is no coin with a straight line up.  If you believe in the vision than buy, hold and dont worry about week to week fluctuations they are meaningless if you dont sell.

total agree with marketing. Nowadays the newcomers tend to invest in something that has a good marketing, they don't do their research because they think it's useless and not worthy for their time. They see a shitcoin with a good marketing plan and they think it will skyrocket but the utility of the project it's equal to zero.

I'm in for the long term and believe verry hard in via but it hurts a lot to see a decline from 2 dollars to 1,2 again after all the work and progress. also the market goes from 170 to 30 btc on polo  

If VIA rise up to 5 dollars before the end of the year i would still keep my VIA.
Because i think VIA goals can be long term (2020) at least 50 bucks a piece maybe even more.

But the problem is marketing i think just like SIA has no marketing.
You see fucked up coins that are just air (no product) rise up like hell and doing x100 x1000 profit.

I think VIA, SIA and a couple of other verry good projects need to watch out for lesser projects with super marketing skills.
Because it isn't always the best product that takes the crown.

For example: HEINEKEN beer vs STELLA ARTOIS.

Ik think not many folks on this forum ever heard about STELLA but it's al lot better than HEINEKEN.

HEINEKEN is the piss of a cow who drinked STELLA.

MARKETING is KING and we just need to watch out or VIA,SIA and a lot of other cool and good projects will miss the train.

I love VIA coin Safe and Fast 

The problem is that you're looking at the short term instead of the long term.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

WTF is going on ? 

And if you taught the rocket was starting his engine with all the good news en progress of the last couple of weeks and price going to 2 dollar.

You taught wrong. Fuck i'm sad today really taught via was going for the gold  20k disappeared of my wallet in just 2 days because of btc and via.

Is there still a chance to recover and see 5 dollar VIA before the end of the year ?

And wath about next year ?
