GLDcoin looked like a scam, maybe it is, but it looks like a lot more people are paying it attention now that the other launches failed.

At least a lot of noobs got coins, instead of just the usual suspects with their new-coin-instamine farms.

Less orphans on this one, felt good

Na - GLDcoin was a really good launch.  The author was even giving out 10k and 5k GLD on the forums.  He really spread the wealth around.

O it still was more or less farmed. Few got some while slow got left out. That is okay though pool is up so I can get some now.

well, it started at newbie section and first. they just love brand new coins

LOL yeah but at launch someone posted it into the alt area too. So most noobs had no chance getting solo set up to mine before the big reward blocks were gone lol

Nah, it didn't get posted in AltCurr until the block-reward had gone down to 500. When I started mining I had ~70% of the network hashrate with a single Geforce 560 Ti and got most of the blocks for a little while (turned it off pretty quickly as I didn't feel this coin was going anywhere). Pretty sure the folks over in the newbie section just used the built-in miner to CPU-mine.

There were some massive giveaways though - I actually received 5k coins. Guessing people who asked earlier got even more.

I can give 30k to a giveaway pool if someone is interested in running one.

I think the name gldcoin and symbol GLD are very attractive.  So, it seems like anyone who has GLD should hold on to it for later.  You never know, it might get picked up by an exchange.

Now that World coin has been launched and more people jumped to it, it seems these are the current coins of the day, what is your opinion? which is the better investment of time and resources, will any of them even manage to trade on the forums?

I don't think "GLDcoin" is an attractive name.

GLD's first 2 million coins(around 1/3rd of all coins out right now) were mined in the first 200 blocks.  Add on that the coin wasn't even posted in this section of the forums when it launched, giving the dev the opportunity to scoop up those huge bonus blocks, and you have a pretty scammy start imo.  Worldcoin looks a bit more professional in it's presentation, which gives me more hope for it's potential for long term success.  It could easily fail as well however as more coins will be released daily.

GLDcoin looks much better long term then "Power"coin

This is a currency not a comic book lol.

GLD = Gold likely in reference to the Gold ETF or something.  Could be wrong though

I set up a thread, clicks for coins. I'm trying to get it spread out. I could use the coinage.

I got a few of the 10K blocks last night when it first posted but got a lot of stales and orphans.  He gave away a lot of coins today too.  He was sending people 5K just for posting their address.  But who knows.  

I think this coin could manage to take of, mainly because as was already posted in this thread, the wealth was spread around a lot which helped make the launch more successful because people are more interested in a coin they actually have.

I do.

That's true but a lot of those 2,000,000 coins were given away as part of sharing the wealth which makes it not as bad as it could have been.

Only the name Goldcoin is more worth than FTC+CNC together. I really think Goldcoin has a huge potential to get really populair within a few weeks. I seeing more and more people talk about Goldcoin.

it is definitely gaining popularity

btw, the new logo looks really nice, kudos to the designer

Yes he did a good job. I also really like the logo.

Agreed I'll have to switch to it.

Agreed, lets hope it continues.

That's what I always say to those people making alternate currencies who say the name is useless, the name is one of the most important parts!

I hope the developer is giving away coins 10k at a time took him about 8 ms to mine that.  First 200 blocks were 10,000 coin reward.  The exact OPPOSITE of what should be done to avoid a premine scam

Thanks, appreciate that!

the dev didnt get that many of those blocks and plus what he got he gave away.

Dev didn't get too many, in fact he gave away a lot of what he got in chunks of 5k to 10k. Plus other people who got blocks gave them out in chunks of 500 -> I'm giving them out in chunks of 5 now to support the price of 100GLD/1LTC. Also a lot of giveaways in the 10k+ for various things supporting the coin (pools, guides, ect.)

This coin indeed is one of the better ones launched this week, and I think it will become a big succes if looking at the support from the Dev's and users alone:D

Gold Coin as a name is much better than feathercoin or mincoin or bitbar or any of the other recent alt coins that have cropped up recently.

Whats the official logo for GLDcoin?
