Advanced CGMiner settings / FAQ • • Don't set intensity too high, I=11 is standard and safest. Higher intensity takes more GPU RAM. Check for hardware errors in CGMiner (HW). HW=0 is good, otherwise lower intensity.

• Set shaders according to the readme (or look at your graphic cards specifications). CGMiner uses this value at first run to calculate thread-concurrency. Easiest way to get this optimized is to use same settings as others have used here:. • There's also an interesting project which gives you a GUI for CGMiner. Windows only it seems. • Here's a great how to get up and running with Xubuntu.

Early investors most likely, there hasn't been enough liquidity for them to sell, that includes Otoh who probably owns wallets #2 and #3. He was an early investor in Dash, and a big influence in its succession, he only began to sell when there was enough liquidity. As for the Lead Dev, Romano - who took over the project early this year (I think), he has a stake in Viacoin bought with his own funds. He also takes donations which go to development of Viacoin on top of committing his own personal funds to further improve Viacoin. Personally I am not too concerned with the distribution as most coins of this market cap do have skewed rich lists. I don't blame your curiosity, but I see that these addresses were added a month or so after it was established that Romano would be taking over the project: At the time Viacoin was ranging from 1.5 cents - 2cents and before that at around 2-4k sats. Meaning you could get 1,000,000 VIA for about $15,000 +/-, especially after the '16 summer rush when smart investors were looking where to park their new capital.

Totally a reasonable investment if you understood the drive and wit Romano has constantly dazzled us with. As mentioned before OTOH is a big market mover and investor in projects he believes in. He's a very wise and powerful man in the crypto scene, perhaps you should look into him. Even when Drak was head of VIA, Otoh was backing the project, and when Romano took lead Otoh showed support as well.

Knowing ---at least one, but probably more--- of the wallets is Otoh's, takes a lot of worry out of the equation for me. I am not worried about VIA being a sour investment, not only due to the reasons mentioned before, but also the growing strength and perseverance of community which is always 100% essential to a strong foundation of a coin.

So expect many HODLERs. You've asked some good questions and have done some research. Always good to have smart people in the space (God knows we can use more lol). So if you're still on the fence about VIA, just keep tabs on our community and development so you can hop in when you're comfortable, but as always with proper risk management! • • • • • • •.
