improvements to bitcoin are also improvements to viacoin and vice versa

Exactly this.

It was advertised to be more advanced than bitcoin which it is not and as for equating working on bitcoin as the same as working on viacon I don't think that holds weight either.

anyway, you owned like 10 dollars worth of viacoin in total so why are you frothing at mouth huh?
you keep repeating yourself, so why are you coming back over and over, ulterior motives?

You cannot know how much Via I do/don't hold and no, I'm not the crypto mafia.

Remember that Satoshi soon disappeard after the start of the BTC project.

You're trying to vindicate Draks extended leave of absence here but there is a crucial difference which is that Satoshi didn't hold an IPO but Drak did and he is beholden to his investors whether he chooses to acknowledge it or not.

Drak is an open source/decentralised crypto maximalist

So he's a transparency advocate? Lets review what we know so far:

Drak dumped Viacoin onto the exchanges after launch pushing the value of the stock his investors had purchased down like DiCaprio in wolf of wall street.
He outlines no roadmap for the project.
No time scales or deadlines.
He doesn't reveal how investor funds are allocated or spent.
He doesn't communicate what is actively being developed for viacoin or progress in these areas.
The fed is more transparent than Drak.

Drak has developed a scrypt based blockchain that is less advanced than bitcoin and full of empty blocks. Charlie Lee did the same thing for free and his network hashrate is at 1.65TH dwarfing viacoins 410 GH/s which used to be over 700 GH/s by the way and shows that the network is becoming less healthy @grv @btcdrak, a drop of over 40% since March of this year! link

There is a single metric that allows you to measure the success of the project directly and that is the viacoin price which is at $0.

A bunch of investors entrusted drak with their hard earned cash and in return they have received nothing but disrespect.
He purposefully devalued their assets and then disappeared, returning on occasion to feed them crumbs of information whenever he feels like it.

Do you know when the last viacoin blog post was? April 2015.

His philosophy is bogus, "If you build it, they will come" doesn't apply here, there is nobody on wall street looking at this inferior blockchain and thinking "look at that shitcoin that nobody is using, let's invest in that".

Network health is declining, user participation is non existent, the dev only communicates when he can be bothered or when there is unrest in the community which he causes by not communicating.

Viacoin currentlly sits at rank #164 on coinmarketcap with a value of $136,000. Less than half of the original investment amount.
This project is over, anyone who invested in it has lost everything. Only one person has benefited and that's Drak.

He should do the decent thing and shut up shop and return what's left of investor funds if he hasn't lost it all in the DAO implosion.
