I thought we knew it was working?
I bet that is just the bittorrent manager, as seen in the OP.

BITTORRENT IS ALREADY RUNNING ON THE TESTING CLIENTS

If you look on Github, you can see that the code to turn on BitTorrent - AND IT IS BITTORRENT - that's already there.


https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/blob/769c926cd8e8f881b384d30501b637e2bab30e89/vtorrent-qt-hd.pro

Then if you look at the video the devs released a few months back, you can see that the current client is already able to run BitTorrent

So I don't think we need a hard fork to make the BitTorrent functionality work. I could be 100% wrong. But I think it's there, working. It might be buggy, but I think it's been working for a while and any bugs might be related to the recent wallet upgrades.

Thanks, good explanation!

I, for one, welcome our new vtorrent overlords.

"We're at a time where all top 100 coins are now valued in excess of $1m each whereas 1 year ago the 100th coin was only worth $450k"

Just want to clarify


https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/blob/711eb781749dfbe00d9a46169a450203a1493671/src/chainparams.cpp


The current wallet / client that we're all using.

It's already set to just switch over to a new way to calculate how interest on staking coins are calculated.

That switch means that before block 1,300,000 the calculations on how interest is awarded to everyone staking is done one way, but after block 1,300,000 it will be done a different way.

So everyone will be hard forked onto a different way of calculating interest on their staking coins.

There are also likely to be some other minor changes too.

But, you can't have two ways of calculating interest on the same network. So this needs a hard fork.

BUT THESE HARD FORK CHANGES DO NOT EQUAL TORRENT FEATURES.

What it does mean is that if a new client comes out with more upgrades, we're likely to be another step closer to what the dev seems to have in mind which is get the clients / wallets updated with everything you'll need when running torrents, and then release the torrent features.

Any updated client / wallets might not need a hard fork, just a new version, but we don't know that for sure.

For example, the current clients have the code for TOR AND I2P, but I don't think they will work. It probably means that these features will become active in the next release.

If you know how to use TOR AND I2P, you'll have that option when connecting your client and downloading /uploading stuff you're interested in. So which do you do first, torrents or TOR / I2P?

I would release torrents after laying the foundations.

How likely is torrent features after 1.3M block? Wouldn't that require a new client? Am I getting pumped for nothing, is this gonna be another Y2K bug fizzer?

Screenshots or better still a video is all that's needed if there is still stuff being worked on.

<500 blocks left.

Let's see if the devs want to be rich?

You no like money?

Time to produce!

The slack channel has discovered anyone can upload an Emjoi without needing admin permissions.

This could spell the end for BCT as a forum.

lol

Is the upcoming "hard fork" a real hard fork, or is it just called that?
Will I need to do anything with my client to keep my coins secure?
What is the standard procedure with this? Sorry, I'm new.

No, chain is fine for me and I have 16 nodes currently connected with all of them having an up to date blockchain.

I believe you can use 'rewindchain' in the console to make the blockchain go back to an earlier date. But I've never personally had success with it. You could also try deleting the entire chain and starting from fresh (make SURE to backup your wallet).

If you forcefully quit the client it could lead to corruption of the chain (At least that has been my experience with vTorrent as well as several other projects)

More nodes help speed up syncing issues http://vtr.thechains.com/network

find vtr roaming folder by searching %appdata% on your windows PC (not sure how on MAC) and make a conf file with a list of nodes to help the network

Asking again if anyone has a stuck chain or knows how to fix one?
