I think the problem with a lot of coins is that they simply change a bit and say they need to be in existence. I really like truly revolutionary coins like ethereum monero or IOTA. They do something really new
Yes exactly. Ethereum and Monero and IOTA are significantly different (although I have more hope in Byteball than IOTA's implementation) from Bitcoin...unlike VIA in this case.
That is why they are worth so much, because they actually offer something new and not just a simple fork.
Can't wait to see VIA fall in the next week and say "told you so".
Well via is pretty unique it's 25x faster then bitcoin it uses merged mining it will support segwit and lightning network and will be anonymous when styx is implemented there are also rumours it will have tumblebit and masternodes. So can you tell me one coin that will have all these?
Via is 25x faster? You've got the numbers and citations to back that shit up? Because it's bullshit. Lets see Via have the same number of transactions and infrastructure. It will perform the exact same as Bitcoin because the dev as made no changes regarding transaction speed! I know, I've looked at the commits!
And what do you know, Bitcoin is using Segwit too! Guess what? Via is actually just using Bitcoin's Segwit code!
Lightning networks are coming too, what's your point?? Via will use Bitcoin's lightning network code too!
Styx is an eternity away. It is just a "goal", there has been zero work done for it.
I am not saying "dump your Via!!", I'm saying Via is literally a Bitcoin clone and offers nothing new. You are free to use the Via fork...but technologically it is inferior since it has to keep up with merging code changes from Bitcoin Core.
