"syncs faster than ever before"

You know why right? Again, such a trivial change. 6 characters difference: https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commit/7325a43554bae8e5a103ec7af4402360c4025fc1

He multiplied 2 terms by 32, increasing the bandwidth.

You're impressed by that?

This is exactly why Via is going to not make it in the long term. The "development" is just adjusting whatever to make it seem like shit is happening.

Also, that article if anyone is interested in actual facts instead of hype: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070354.msg20677488#msg20677488

I have the same feeling as you about VIA.

Back in 2014..... I decided to sell all my VIA because it is my feeling that this was a one time event and that VIA will not reach that level again, whether it was a wise decision or not time will tell.

Welll I wish I had that ICO money. That would have been really great, too bad I don't have it either. (Yes there was an ICO in 2014 but that's not a hidden premine like some stated)
The roadmap is the roadmap, if you think it's nothing unique you already knew that because you saw the roadmap months before you invested.

But if you are planning to make a coin or something unique that will blow Bitcoin out of the water, let me know !

I just think it's a bit unfair to call Via a scam.
I say what it is about, have a roadmap with the details. I'm not claiming like other coins to be the Ethereum killer.

and people invested in (2k sat, 3k sat, 6k sat, 10 or 20k sat) and it went all the way to 80k sat.... Scamming you in profits?

But I'm learning like I said. I don't have a 50 million dollar ICO.
Sure Joost, keep screaming scam.

I knew when I started, being a free coin developer is gonna be one of the most unthankful jobs to do

I never said that VIA is a scam, but there were a lot of investors feeling betrayed because a lot of development was promised, every three months a major update etc. but in the end almost nothing happened. Anyway this has nothing to do with you, I was talking about 2014 and 2015 when you were not involved with VIA at all.

Nobody seems to know what happened with the ICO, but in the old announcement thread btcdrak clearly says that he is going to transfer the VIA-funds to you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699278.msg16184863#msg16184863

Maybe I interpreted his message in a wrong manner, but I got the impression that he was going to transfer the remains of the ICO-fund, either being it fiat or VIA-coins to you.

Personally I'm not interested in making a coin at all, most of them are just Ponzi schemes, some people are getting very rich and most others are losing a lot of money, the money has to come from somewhere, you cannot create money out of thin air like the FED and ECB do.
