Dev has just released a new wallet version (for Mac OS only right now, Windows coming):



https://github.com/vtorrent/vTorrent-Client/releases/tag/0.8.3

lol, has just released in January 2018. Latest commit b86be0c on 1 Nov 2018


Interesting, though, that the release tag was updated with a new bootstrap .zip for the blockchain dated Oct 15th 2019 -- so presumably someone updated those release packages with the new bootstrap at some point in the past couple weeks. This project has been dead for years and yet the dev still periodically says something on Twitter, or does something like this showing activity on GitHub. I could understand it if the coin was still listed on an exchange, these little hints would make sense to pump a market or something. But why do these crumbs keep appearing on a legitimately dead coin, as far as price/trading goes?

My curiosity never ends with this shit show of a project. Cheesy

Nice catch!
I didn't see any recent (2019) activity on twitter, but Github update is indeed is a bit funny Smiley

Looks like the developer likes to keep things tidy, even when it comes to his abandoned projects.


He Tweeted replies to people in January and May of 2019 - gotta look at "Tweets & Replies" tab. Wink

The May 5th tweet was: "Yes, it is still active and being worked on." when someone asked him if it was still going, heh.

Thanks for info!
Bug fixed.


Well something is different, but I'm not sure it's correct yet - it's now *under* counting:

And my address is no longer even found on the explorer -- what gives? Is there a "ramp up" time for the explorer to discover peers or something? I'm confused!


Furthermore, on the "currency info" page -- the supply here was correct yesterday at ~11.8 million and disagreed with the rich list cumulative total of ~17 million. But today, both the rich list and currency info agree on the wrong number of: 7191336.76817666 VTR


edit: Up over 10 million now, so maybe it's just a chain re-sync thing - gettin' there. Smiley  Thanks for the quick fix/response CG.tk!

VTR block explorer moved from cryptoguru to ccexp.
http://ccexp.tk/CurrencyInfo/index.php?Currency=VTR



So I've noticed that this block explorer (the only VTR explorer I know of) seems to include orphaned PoS blocks as valid balance increases. I checked my staking wallet and it claims I have a significantly higher balance, and the only thing I can think is that it's counting orphans. If you go to the Rich List and go to the very last page, the "total" column - which is adding up the total supply shows:

Quote
17090751.92399542
(144.94050802%)

Which claims the total supply is ~17 million instead of the ~11.8 million it actually is -- and you can tell that it acknowledges this is 44.94% over the total supply.


Is this the only block explorer? I was trying to investigate and find addresses that might've been the dev and noticed this error. I'm going to PM the explorer contact account to see if this can be corrected.

There's @vtorrentcrypto on Twitter which is supposedly the dev, and he's sorta kinda active on there. Some people here claim to have emailed with him. I've emailed him a couple times and never received a response. There was some uncertainty almost a year ago now at the end of 2017 with hacked/lost accounts, and the dev not having access to certain stuff, etc. Honestly I've never been sure it's the same dev from years past, but whoever controls the accounts now does have access to the original github and has put out wallet updates on there. As far as vaporware it very well could be, lots of big claims but the only real releases, and even the "video proof of torrent functionality" are all just GUI work, and may not actually be any torrent backend at all, just faking it for the camera. No one knows.

With Tron's involvement with BitTorrent and projects like Upfiring, it remains to be seen if this has a place in the market at all with the speed of its releases, even if it is real. This is a super super risky, hail mary longshot sort of coin to hold. I honestly think it's been a complete misdirection/fake development cycle for well over a year now, but this is one of my favorite "moonshots" to follow cause the potential is huge if it actually happens.

Anyone got an updated addnode listing? Or is there an active block explorer for VTR? vtrchains.com seems to be gone?

Well at least now we know who coins101 is IRL, not sure why you even black out the name, it's easily google-able with the information in the PDF and you put your initials in the file name - why continue the pseudo anonymity charade? Either way, welcome back.

That was a known problem on w10 with a specific version of the wallet, I had the same issue and had to update to a new release version.

Check this tweet: https://twitter.com/vTorrentCrypto/status/997892898770178048


In other news, the dev seems to still be active on Twitter for tech issues:

The fact that other coins are upgrading with new features constantly. And helium struggles to just make a launch.

That tells a lot about HLM. This long of a delay is pure incompetence.

Tell me. Why does hlm need a 1 year launch delay?
That's pretty pathetic even for cryptopia standards

Too the developers. Get off your lazy ass and get this pos blockchain running. We waited long enough

get your fucking free coins then you piece of shit. Why the fuck should I care to contribute my free time for cunts like you. Nobody's getting paid to do this so if you want your free fucking coins why don't you join the coding or stfu. You're a complete piece of shit. No wonder you have a negative rating.

You can go code it yourself. I hate mfs like you that only want shit for free and don't want to do a damned thing to get it. seriously all of you can go fuck yourselves.


They weren't free coins, people spent money + accepted risk to support the project. The original founders of the HLM idea did very well on the SPR market action related to this project's announcement. Your outburst is just more of the same from this project, and clearly you're over-invested in time and/or money with such an emotional response. This project should just be declared defunct at this point, I'm amazed that people are still waiting. Everything related to SpreadCoin after Mr. Spread disappeared has been nothing but lies, misdirection, embezzlement, manipulation, and shit-throwing. GG all.

still the same question asked here, when lunch Huh people are hungry

They said the Dash software they are using as a platform has 3 major security flaws. Probably the ones found in the Dash bounty. So, before they diverge the software, they will wait until the Dash patch comes out in March or April before launching. This is because they did not hold an ICO and are paying out of pocket the expenses. Hiring a dev team the size of Dash would cost a fortune.



This doesn't exactly inspire much confidence in the team's skills or expertise. This shit is going to be a shadow of what was once claimed if it ever launches at all, guarantee it.

Wow. Well I didn't really have much faith until now, still skeptical until I see a public release working but damn never thought I'd see the day, project is alive in one way or another. That big buyer over summer knew.

Cryptopia just lost their banking arrangement and turned off fiat deposits. They say they're reaching out for new banks. https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/News

Can we please get a wallet and basic blockchain up and running so HLM holders can stop being forced to keep their funds on Cryptopia?


What happens if/when Cryptopia goes poof?

The best is yet to come

Dev never hyped this coin. If he says something like this it can only mean one thing - TORRENTS!


Or this is not the dev you're looking for.... just sayin', the personality of whoever controls the Twitter is way different than whoever controlled the BTCtalk dev account.

Devs, Marketing Team, Can you please start new moderated thread? Amount of idiots and fudders here is unbelievable...

The thread already a moderated thread. HLM has stated they won't really prune posts unless they're really over the line, like that one ISIS supporter guy. The dev team has basically abandoned bitcointalk and refuses to post updates here on a regular basis, they want you to join Slack if you want to keep up with them.

If you're such a crack dev team

I'm not part of the dev team, I'm lending some informal background tech support while the team gets off the ground, so to speak.

Ill-informed, grumpy and off-topic.

Cheers

Graham


Dodge dodge dodge. You keep playing semantics. Weakly at that. Your argument that Slack doesn't deobfuscate fell flat, care to address my counterpoints? You just plainly ignored stuff that was, even by your childish semantic standards, directly in response to your retorts. I'd be happy to take this to the HLM thread if that's what you'd prefer.

For an ecosystem that champions individualism, decentralized control, and anonymity - the trend of forcing people to deobfuscate themselves by joining a project's Slack is just plain against what many in the community want out of crypto projects.
Pseudonymity, not anonymity, rather a crucial difference - coins101 is on slack, how does that deobfuscate his identity? How are developers supposed to contribute to github repository code without having accounts on github? Does that also deobfuscate them?

Quote
HLM already can link SPR history to HLM, and now you want to force people to link email accounts/handles even more so? And you attack people who don't want to participate in that system of centralized power over information? Shameful, selfish, and short-sighted.

Thank you for making my point: ill-informed and grumpy.

Cheers

Graham


How do I get on Slack without registering an email? How do I read Slack without registering? Once I connect to your instance, you can get my IP - so I should now be on VPNs to get a quick update, too? Sheesh. Yes, contributing to a github definitely contributes to deobfuscation, I assume you've never doxxed people eh? Crumbs add up. Furthermore it's their choice - you're not giving investors/community members a choice, you're forcing them into your walled garden when it's completely not required. You could be doing bare minimum of community outreach to public channels but you choose not to.

Holing up in a private club that can't be viewed publicly, having a "community manager" that never communicates publicly, pretending you don't know what insider trading is, and now mocking your supporters when they don't want to march to your exact drum... gee what's there to be so excited about? You're starting to remind me of a certain other g- user, sir, if you catch my drift.

The level of smugness and dismissal from the HLM team prior to and then after the snapshot is a night and day difference. Can't imagine why.  Roll Eyes If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

If you're such a crack dev team why don't you have a bot that can take pinned items and post them to bitcointalk with something like WebDriver, it's not that hard. Or hell, use pastebin/twitter APIs if you really want to avoid BTCtalk? Why do you outright refuse public sharing of news? I could do a working build of such a bot for you in an hour or two if you'd like. But again, actually developing real tools or being transparent and open to the community is clearly not a priority in HLM. Where have we seen this before, hmm? So happy I only converted 10% of my SPR to HLM and profited on the pump instead, as it's looking more and more like that's what the point of this was.

Ugly stuff as always.. classic cinogrin.
Who told you everybody has to care about your anonymity? Use VPNs, onions etc and obfusckate yourself as much as you want.
When you walk down the street do you ask people to look the other way so they don't see you? Why should people do that for you online?
It seems like is time for another post purge, don't you think cinogrin?


I started leaving posts because everybody bitched that I purge them lol, so which is it? The rest of your questions are silly. They're a fork of DarkCoin which is focused on privacy. Most crypto projects are focused on decentralization on top of that. I don't need people tracking my identity online when vast sums of money are involved. I've had one dev of a project try to track me down and threaten my family once, with the goal of extorting me and stopping me from calling out his scam. Luckily I won in the end and ended up being instrumental in doxxing his true identity, that put a stop to that, he ran for the hills and his scam was revealed to be everything I claimed it was for the months leading up to it. I don't take theses issues lightly, feel free to if you're working with pocket change and don't have much to lose. Walking down the street is entirely different, nobody can discern financial standing from me on the street, nor can they gather meaningful information that can be used to fuck with me - you are WAY more anonymous on the street than online, so not sure why that was even mentioned. What can I say, I'm an idealist, and I expect more from people who call themselves professionals.

Most of their followers won't know to jump through so many hoops to avoid being data-mined and exposing themselves to exploitation, and it's unprofessional and just plain lazy to not take very simple steps to provide their community with publicly available information. Especially on a team of "skilled coders" and one that employs a "community manager" - what a joke.
