Topic: [ANN][VTR] vTorrent - Share with freedom | 2FA | HD | @Bittrex - page 193. (Read 436215 times)

Well I see VTR more of a utility than a pump and dump. So I will wait for the economy to fully mature before selling anything.

Anyone who sees the altcoin economy as just a stock market probably isn't doing it right. Only time will tell if my investments pay off however.

Seems like vtr dev is his own man, and doesn't need to satisfy anyone but himself ... i like that approach.

A bit like the qora dev in many ways

I suppose we can safely ignore Rakesh's input and only wait for the updates of the dev.

Good or bad updates are most welcomed.

Yeah anyone who's been around for the last year knows Rakesh got rekd...he sold his VTR for 200-300 sats a while back so feeling double rekt now its rising

Watch and learn when the release of this software comes out; even if it doesn't do you really believe anyone is stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket?

Cryptocurrency is an investment and a risk in its own. Whether it comes out positive or negative no one really knows.

To spend time to demean those who have placed an investment is more hilarious a waste of time than those who have taken the risk.

If your name wasn't all too familiar on altcoin threads then we could perhaps lend it more credence but 'raskesh' only comes across as a joke to me at this point in time.

Whether I lose hard because of this investment or gain at least a few percent I will only ever laugh at your name.

I'm sure that even in your most serious stake you are one of those that claim to have "0.1 BTC" to risk in an investment. To put your position in perspective I've already spend several BTC on just this cryptocurrency as well as a few select others.

So please save us your yawn/yarn of a statement belittling those that dare to invest where you cannot. In a few years we'll either be at a complete loss or a complete gain--that is what a risk is.

All I can say of this dev is that he held the key to my own wallet worth a decent stake and never sought to steal it and provided me with the means to gain what I had initially invested.  Although his/her updates have been sporadic at best the idea is what attracts me to this cryptocurrency and I hope that we soon see a development.

The dev has been consistently held in his/her belief that they shouldn't advertise a service which as of yet doesn't exist and for this reason has been sporadic in updates.

Take it or leave it, if you're too cheap to invest then I can only provide laughter. I've invested semi-decent paycheques into this idea as well as others and whether they come to fruition or not is when we realize the term 'investment' / 'risk'.

If your IQ is too little to understand what is happening here then I only hope you find somewhere better to conjur your bullshit.

  :DLol, you guys still here!! This is what i call making a complete fool out of yourselves.

I think to see the true value of vTorrent or a similar system you have to consider a few points:
-altcoin is better than bitcoin--giving new users bitcoin isn't easy, giving a new user VTR from a faucet or similar is much easier
-TPB and major sites have huge reliability issues--changing TLDs every other day and inconsistent search results
-Closed sites such as for music will be much better through a decentralized network than any of the closed networks that exist today. Music is perhaps a losing point for torrent at the moment, unless you happen to be within a closed website; the availability of little-known musicians is bad. You had to compete with impossible upload ratios to the point that people will never download anything and only seed, thus making it impossible to keep a positive ratio. Personally I've shared about 6-7TB just on music over the past year.

Not to speak on behalf of VTR's creator but I believe this system will exist for those of us that want 'legal linux ISOs' now and we don't mind paying for them. The alternative channels are too slow to bother with.

Anyway, I'm sure there is no solid answer, once the release actually happens with torrent implementation it will be a learning experience. There is never going to be a sure answer for how to introduce money into torrents.

I for one am willing to donate a decent amount to any in-app faucet that appears (perhaps a lottery system to keep it fair)--to put it out there in numerical form I am willing to donate 40,000 VTR for this purpose (over a period of time)

How do you prevent scammers from voting on their own torrent?
Look at how it currently works:

-A few brave ones risk it and download the file: as reward they are the first to have the file.
-They keep seeding (at least some do)
-What is seeded the most is most likely real*
- Fake ones that rise to the top are weeded out by admins.

*However, I think there are ways in which this can be tricked too.
But there is a solution. I believe someone already mentioned it here.
Trusted members of the community can sign the torrent to prove it is legit.
That way we also do not require admins.

You can't trust votes on brand new and fresh application..

Wouldn't a voting system weed out the fakes and viruses?

After someone downloads the torrent, they could and a +1 if it's any good, and -1 if it's bad, the bigger the vote count the safer the download.

That would keep it decentralized.

My bad, I thought you were testing

Releasing a blockchain based torrent app as it is wouldn't be enough, it needs uploaders, and someone who controls these uploaders (for their content,viruses,fakes) with some sort of signup system, it needs to be operated by multiple staff members, otherwise it would be just another emule app with coins.. 
And all these make it centralized instead of decentralized.. I would love to know how he deals with this issue..

I dont think its a scam, but I think that the dev has pretty bad community management skills.

Which is both a pro & contra. For a dev this is not a requirement, however altcoin projects dont have a separate manager, usually the dev & manager is the same. If you would have a separate manager, a PR guy, and the DEV separately, then this issue would be resolved.

The PR guy would keep the community updated, and the dev would work quietly on the project.

This way everybody will be updated and the dev would not be disturbed by frequent questions. What do you think guys?

I've been testing my patience, but that's about it.
