Expresscoin and Viacoin have teamed up to bring Viacoin to point of sale, payment gateways, ATMs and more.

Expresscoin was started in 2013, bootstrapped from a $200K seed round and developed a system that has transacted over $15M worth of transactions. Expresscoin provide a service similar to Coinbase for both consumers and merchants with special emphasis on helping the unbanked. Expresscoin recently expanded into Canada to offer payments with debit cards.

Expresscoin will allow viacoins to be purchased via USPS Money Order, Check Payment, Wire Transfer, Cash Deposit and ATMs. Viacoin will also be available on Expresscoin’s Android App.

Peoplr will now be able to buy VIA directly with cash.  What is exciting to me is when people first start realizing how fast the confirmations are, and why it is so much more convenient to send money using VIA over BTC just for speed.  I am happy to see VIA continue to take the right steps forward.

+1, the fastest digital currency, Viacoin

Looks better and better.
I would like to know what came of the meet with Peter Todd and if there is any news about treechains.
Also, I'm curious to know in what ways VIA might work with, for example, Etherium, Maidsafe etc or is the intention to be a stand alone.

Big deal (not). What else is happening? Anything?

VIA was p n d.
Now lets move along :DDDDDD

I expect major news every day, otherwise it's a P & D.

I got into VIA when I saw that Treechains might be a key feature. Yes, VIA is super fast but  I don't see any coin taking over from btc anytime soon. BTC is way, way ahead even though it has some problems. Maybe coins can share some of the space but I don't believe any single coin will dominate other than btc. I guess regulation and some sort of bridging with FIAT will have to be agreed so as to gain greater adoption.
I do believe that collaboration and some degree of integration with existing systems  is the future and, for alt coins, it's going to be about providing innovation in platform 2.0 development.
If Maidsafe, as an example, gets off the ground and works, any coin using that network will automatically be anonymous or do I have it all wrong? Why all the fuss about anon? 
If VIA comes up with a platform that allows "apps" to be "installed" which use only small amounts of the VIA blockchain and can do the rest on "chains" it will be doing things BTC can not ( will not? ) do and, again, maybe I have it all wrong, but if VIA runs on Maidsafe or Etherium, isn't it win win?
VIA has Peter Todd contributing and VIA has a clean record. I posted earlier to ask if VIA aims to be a stand alone or collaborate with other projects and what came out of meeting with Peter Todd. Innovations on this coin look good so far.
