Vice Industry Token (VIT) is a soon to be released Software Fork of the Steem platform. It will focus on NSFW content including Porn, Cannabis and Gambling and users will be able to upload and upvote content similar as to what happens on Steem.
Initially the team were going to airdrop tokens to Steem holders which I thought was a great idea to get the platform off and running, however, they reneged on that idea and decided to cancel the airdrop. Although this made a few punters pissed off, I can understand that the VIT team didn't want to automatically hand a large sway of influence to a small hand-full of Steem whales. I also think that there are a lot of Steem users that won't want to engage with the type of content that will be authored on the VIT network.
So what's the Status on the VIT network?
@viceindustry posted an update on the platforms status here: https://steemit.com/vicetoken/@viceindustry/vice-industry-token-launch-status-update just a few days ago. There have been some developmental issues, particularly the bug that was identified recently on the Steem blockchain that needed to be fixed. The VIT team wants to ensure that there are no issues once the platform goes live. I have been impressed with the transparency and communication from the team so far and they are regularly active on Steemit and Telegram.
You can register a username via touch.tube for when the platform is live and VIT tokens are currently able to be traded on the Cryptopia and hitBTC exchanges.
I am looking forward to having a little more influence on the VIT network once it launches as I am already familiar with how the Steem platform works.

Vice Industry tokens will also be given out as the major prizes at the upcoming Pornhub awards. This will also provide some great promotion to the token and platform as it launches and I am sure this will lead to some sort of relationship between VIT and Pornhub eventually.
Thanks for reading!
