Re: [ANN] Viacoin (VIA) - Safe | Segwit | Lightning Network | Auxpow | Fast
Hi guys,
What are the hard wallet options to store VIA coins?
I'd rather not use the wallet software provided on viacoin.org as my computer rejects the setup because it is unsafe.
What are the alternatives?
Thank you in advance
I would recommend vialectrum. Use the portable version. Install it on a flash drive. Create a new wallet. Write down the private key (or seed in that case) and address. then use it to store the coin for years to come.What are the hard wallet options to store VIA coins?

I decided to store my VIA coins on a paper wallet generated from https://viacoin.github.io/address-generator.
However, how can I then send VIA coins from this address? Is there an application avalaible in which I can load the private key and send coins?

You could temporarily install a wallet like vialectrum, create the wallet using your private key, send the coins, receive coins, then close down the program, delete it, delete the wallet.dat (possibly permamently erase it, if you know what I mean), and go about your merry way.
I wish I would have gotten a straightforward answer from someone... What differentiates viacoin from other altcoins?
Isn't it just trying to solve the same problem as Bitcoin? Why would it ever garner the support bitcoin has then?
Not trying to bash, just honestly curious what made you invest in this crypto

1. It has an active, highly-skilled developer constantly working on it, providing code updates and user help
2. It's not trying to take over bitcoin - it's an altcoin, but it's also 10x faster at sending coins and getting confirmations, plus smaller fees
3. I invested in it because of the above, and because I believe it's undervalued. Also, I have patience.
A followup:
If it's not trying to take over, what do you see its actual value in a future economy, where there are other coins doing the same thing? Some even more private, like monero?
