Dear all,

As of now, only vTorrent Core is open sourced, and the reason we need to keep our full client (2FA included) closed source is to prevent other dev to clone our work and claim it as their own (or falsely claim as their project being one of the first to implement those features).

When Bittorrent part of vTorrent is reveal in a few release from now, hopefully our project will then be wildly known in crypto-currency space and the decision to open sourced other part of our project will then be considered again.

Regards,

vTorrent

That's nice.

How about the anti cheat system ? Did you manage to figure out how to do it ?

Ok, thanks for the clarity on the matter, glad you are considering open sourcing it.

See, a winning idea. props for building the app.

just needs some marketing

The problem is that it's closed source, as we all know it's not an ideal situation within the crypto scene. The dev took code from shadow coin, why not pay it forward and release it to the whole crypto community, this project would gain massive and well deserved recognition.

Think about the all the other ALT's using this code, that' would give everyone a well needed security boost, aside from that it would give us more respect as well as a bigger marketcap, just look at all the good things like Dash or Shadow have released under the open source umbrella.

Just something to think about Dev.

not really, it would have taken years to build that app. It deserves a bounty to open source it. It was built pre-Vtorrent anyway. I don't see why the app dev can't get paid to install it for other projects. there are plenty of similar deals with people who make miners.

I was under the assumption that the dev/s on this project built it. If VTR devs didn't build it then why are you pushing it for VTR?

But one of the vtorrent devs did build it, just before vtorrent.

Seriously?

"Recently, I was contacted by a fellow Bitcoiner and informed about some possible shady goings-on on the DECENT platform. Reportedly, the platform has raised 5352BTC (3.2M USD equivalent) in its token presale, but the product appears to be on some shaky grounds."

$3.2m for a Bitcoin <> Torrent ICO?

3.2M for developing a torrent based platform, wow we're currently sitting at 50K ish marketcap.

Did you notice the article author states any solution introducing a new altcoin is not viable? Smiley
regardless of whether he is right or wrong there, but I would not trust this author or rely on his conclusions, just because he seems to be genuinely subjective and somewhat biased. This may be even paid article, not sure.

Wow lisp! I haven't seen that since college lol.  I'm heading out of town this weekend for anniversary with wife, but I'll toy around with it when i get back.

just interesting background, but i would be interested in your view before vtorrent devs got in contact with you and you got too busy.

Hey vTorrent,

I stumbled across this project and it piqued my interest. I normally develop in C#/Java, but I'd be interested in helping out on this project in any way I can.

Let me know what needs to be done and how I can help Smiley

Cool...What do you think of keyrun?

Anyone can tell me why this coin would be "better" than others? When did the dev write news last time? Time frame for stuff to get released? It's been 1½ year since the thread came up and nothing is done yet or?

Buy some golf coin Smiley

No thanks, guess I got my answer already.

That would require all the effort of looking up the OPs thread history and speed reading through about ~150 posts.

That's going to require a lot of effort on your part.

I wish you well.
