Good old c-cex...

I don't think there will be problems adding VTR since like dev post few post ago, VTR core is totally open sourced.

If it was closed sourced no way would bittrex add VTR im the first place  

Polo don't add closed source.

Here's cyberhacker's  BCT link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/cyberhacker-106829

Ok can we make a list of Chinese exchanges to request the coin on?

BTC38.com

and what others?

I can happily contribute some BTC towards voting on this matter as I believe it will help this coin in the long run. Maybe not enough to get it accepted straight away but to at least give it a headstart.

I have the same error, the transactions that are mined never show up in the transaction list (but they are added to the total) untill I load the wallet again, but transaction back and forth bittrex show up straight away.

Also cyberhacker is on BCT, he posted a few times on this thread.

How can we get in touch with him?

I saw on BTC38.com we can request the coin to be listed and then pay some money for votes to try and get it up the list; it might be good coverage for the coin because people will see "torrent" and already know what the coin is about. I'm sure there are many potential investors who don't read the altcoin forum because of how full of shit it mostly is.

Small bug report that is fairly inconsequential:

When staking my list of recent transactions on the overview page & transaction page never seems to update. The next time I reopen the wallet the new transactions are listed so staking works (I can tell because Windows puts a notification in the bottom corner everytime I get PoS) however in terms of display nothing happens.

Also in terms of the wallet I find it times out/lags a little and I'm using a very high-specced computer (i.e. 6 core/32GB RAM/GTX 1080/SSD/Windows 10.1). Perhaps it's Windows only that lags at this stage? I mean the wallet eventually recovers and doesn't actually crash or anything, but it doesn't look like its playing along as well as it could.

Understandably these are both low-priority issues but would be nice to see them addressed at some stage)

Cyberhacker has a Chinese crypto blog, he wrote in it about VTR not so long back. Maybe he could help out?

Also has anyone got any insight on how we could get this listed on a Chinese exchange?

Not sure if this was posted before? Its dated Oct 2.

Its also interesting to note that there haven't really been any updates from JoyStream in quite some time.

Well, let's go back to what the competition is doing.

If you look at their blurb, they say they are building a request and pay feature.

So let's do that, but also lets have a way to fix the race to zero fees. An efficiency seed algorithm will differnetiate VTR and make seeders want to seed on VTR and also create a race to be one of the early seeders.  This will drive demand from seeders and leechers

For sure, it'll also be interesting to see if it's possible to only pay for specific files within a torrent--in this way very large torrents could be viable rather than the current system of having a separate torrent for each and every file. This would obviously only make sense for content that is more archival in nature and not current releases.

Isn't that a question for BitTorrent?

Now there is a payment mechanism, buyer's need to advertise what they are looking for and how much they are willing to pay.

I think once a torrent has reached a certain amount of seeders it becomes irrelevant when it comes to the "market".

I believe there is a definite market for early adopters/seeders, but providing an incentive to older well-regarded torrents should be crucial.

As an end user I am always willing to pay money towards content which I am unable to obtain

The question is what is value of a person who is after content which is special yet not recent.

The issue with competitive pricing for bandwidth of the same files is it's a race to zero fees. You get to a point of not wanting to work for very little reward.

If I sell open source office software on eBay, the time and effort I put in to sourcing that piece of software is wasted because someone can just sit there and wait for me to sell something, buy it then under cut me. After a two weeks, I'm priced out of the thing I sourced because there are hundreds of people selling the same thing.

The race to zero discourages me from sourcing materials, and I'll do what everyone else does - wait for someone to seed, then copy, seed and earn what I can while the going is good.

Protected markets is what we need. The best way to create protected markets is to lock people out. So, what's needed is an efficiency ratio algorithm.

When seeding is too efficient, it's likely because there are too many seeders. What are they all earning? If its a really small figure, the market is saturated. Seeders that came in last need to be tapered off by reducing their fee income.

So, a fee taper algorithm. If you're first, you get some level of protection, so you are incentivised to be one of the early seeders.

Efficiency could also be monitored for regional inefficiencies. If all seeders are in China, but all the leechers are in the USA, that's not very efficient, but that needs to be measured on the basis of the quality of your bandwidth.

The problem with most of these solutions is that they are the same as any other solution for this space i.e. vulnerable to takedown or interference.

ZeroNet (https://zeronet.io/) exists as the best example I can find of an uninterruptable torrent search engine thus far.
