There are some guides on the Reddit I believe https://www.reddit.com/r/vTorrentCrypto/comments/817wy6/how_to_buy_and_where_to_store/, check the comments.

What is up with the sudden price increase?? I am hearing rumours about a zec zero-knowledge fork?

I am not sure about needing verification. What doesn't work is Ethereum to vTorrent for example, because Coinswitch doesn't have actual vTorrent in stock themselves. So you can only use the BTC to VTR option which is fine for people who purely want VTR and don't have a way to get into Bittrex.

No, they actually buy it for you on the Bittrex exchange, super convenient if you are waiting for an account and want it now. For coins with more exchanges, it also allows for choosing the lowest price it seems. Looks like a pretty cool project. Currently Bitcoin to vTorrent is not supported by CoinSwitch means that they don't have the supply in stock themselves I guess since popular coins offer the option to buy directly from CoinSwitch.

GITHUB ACTIVITY for first time in 2 years: CHECK IT OUT https://github.com/vtorrent

RELEASE also coming this week, big things

Good buying opportunity before release, be greedy when others are fearfull.

Lol nice ripoff, just join the slack https://vtr11.herokuapp.com/ and someone can probably buy it off the book and sell it for market price.

There are people in the slack willing to sell it to you and who you can trust. I do suggest that you do it multiple transaction though, like 5% each time to be sure. The community is small, so we know who is trustworthy and who is not.

Agreed a decentralized exchange is exactly what vTorrent needs. It can be considered a high-risk token if adoption ramps up and policymakers want to see it gone.
Demand is probably already huge among people who would like to remain anonymous when acquiring this coin.

Version 0.9 will have torrents implemented, right now he is working on 0.8.2.1, but after this update the zero-knowledge zec fork will be on the agenda, which is another milestone.

Just look at ZEC staying afloat and rising in ranks on CMC, I think the reaction to the ZEC fork will be really positive.

DEV DELIVERED, this is happening!

Not yet, torrents are currently in private beta. The project is still an ongoing development, hence the low market cap. This is a long term high risk/high reward project and only time will tell if it will succeed.

You are right, support for a classic coin is nonexistent and only time will tell if this will change. Right now I am optimistic about the promotional fund that has been set up by the community that exceeds $1000+ and climbing. Everyone joining this project has the power to change the course of the price.

Right now waiting for the zero-knowledge zec fork, today showed that zcash held up really well and momentum is shifting towards it, coins with zcash blockchain and protocol will come in the spotlight as a result.

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.

There are some interesting developments going on within the vTorrent community.

- First of all, we set up a Promotional fund in which members of the community can donate vTorrent's for advertisement campaigns and spreading the news.
- Secondly we are getting closer to a release of version v0.8.2.1, which includes some well needed upgrades to pave the way for future development
- Most importantly is the fact that dev reinstated GitHub to support development and make the project open source.

After the update rolls out, dev will be focussing on a ZEC zero-knowledge fork, the first of its kind on Bittrex.

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

All in all I see a good future for this coin, if Dev ramps up his communication with the community that is.

The biggest concern with this coin for me is the lack of communication from the developers and lack of a proper website.
