Testnet coins are just that, disposable, worthless coins - for testing purposes. The testnet functions just as the mainnet, but can be experimented on and with, without risks or loss.

This is my favorite coin/platform right now. The IPO ends, people are paid, and instead of the project folding up like most, top talent is hired and it just gets better!?

Setting new standards here. Very impressed.

Can someone please give information about the current and future development. I do not want to read the whole tread.
The information on Treechain I have read, but what are the current and other future goals.

Via interested me for some time, but I had no free btc. Thus I missed the best start at 20k.
Now I would like to enter but need more information.

Hi Viacoiners,

I'm not sure about how I compiled the wallet on Ubuntu 12.04 (wallet is 1.0.3.) so can somebody confirm my MO ? 

So I installed all the prerequisites listed in build-unix.md (berkeley 4.8, qt5 stuff etc.). Then, I ran the 3 mandatory commands : autogen, configure and make. But once it was done, there's no viacoin-qt in my main directory...

I read the terminal and I see that everything happened insrc so me being a noob in linux, what I did was just copy/paste the viacoin-qt fromsrc/qt to the main directory.

Finally, I ran ./viacoin-qt and the wallet popped up and synced fine. I then successfully set a passphrase to it and was able to lock/unlock the wallet. So finally, I tried to send 1 VIA from an exchange to my wallet and it worked fine and went pretty fast.

Question : is everything OK (considering how I compiled the wallet) ?

I hate Twitter.
I can read the blog but a quick summary would be nice.

Worked. Thanks. 
Keep up the good work

I'm impressed on how strong the via price is. since the very beginning to now and still going, the price just keeps bouncing back, higher and higher.
There has been numerous times with huge dumps on bittrex and the price doesn't nudge few % below. It just keeping coming back up.

$1 per via is inevitable with drak's xch plan and peter on the team, all we need is the time required to develop the codes.
Just look at bittrex btc-via timeline, select all, very nice slow steady rise.

via at 44k... wow
