This will create a new coin, which will rename the current vTorrent to vTorrent Classic.

Could you please elaborate on this part..? Are you implying there will be two concurrent versions of vTorrent running..? Is this a 'community' fork, or a planned fork supported by the developers?

I am a bit confused.

Dev posted this in this thread a few months back, the current coin will become vTorrent classic, which will indeed be run by the community, the developers abandon this coin and moves on to the new forked coin.

Could you please put a link to that post here? I cannot find such post in this thread.

In any case I believe there is no point in any 'classic' fork here. This coin has a purpose, and that purpose is fulfilled by the dev. Any fork without ongoing development will be useless. So I believe everyone will follow the fork the dev supports, the fork where the development is going on. Frankly speaking, there is no strong community here, to support any kind of 'classic' fork, even if someone doesn't agree by the dev by some reason. I, for one, support this dev fully. His only real drawback is lax communication, but otherwise he is very decent professional.


Dear all,

This project is indeed still being actively developed.

Due to nature of BitTorrent sharing, we have been experimenting with the possibility of migrating ZEC's zero-knowledge to VTR core to improve users anonymity and try to do without needing of reseting the current chain.

vTorrent 0.9.1z will be the first version to incorporate the zero-knowledge protocol and if resetting the chain is needed, there could possibly be a fork of vTorrent-Classic running by community keeping the 0.8.x chain.

There are some other plan along with this new chain, which is still being in discussion in our team.

Regards,
vTorrent
