I would think Goldcoin needs to beat at least Feathercoin before claiming it can beat anything else... :-\

Anyway, this propaganda belongs in the Alt-coin section.

You'll need it to mine my Obsidiancoin.

No, it's only aviable if you bring water to lava, and I have hardcore mode enabled. No respawn :/

Umm.. we might have had a rocky beginning but our new development team is on the cutting edge.

Hurting themselves with cutting edges isn't going to help.
Tell them they don't have to get all emo about this.

Also:
Antimattercoin, if it collides with a normal coin both will vanish leaving only energy.

Antimattercoin with an estimated mining cost of $62 trillion per gram is obviously going to be top dog although that whole if it collides with normal coins you lose both makes me think CaliforniumCoin is where the smart money is at.  Produced only in microgram "blocks" and requiring a nuclear reactor to mine it has a scarcity that is about 1 million times that of Gold.  Makes GoldCoin look like dirtcoin.  However I will offer all GoldCoin owners the chance to upgrade to CaliforniumCoin at a introductory exchange rate of 200,000 GLD for 1 CFC.

Wallets are going to be tough though.  It takes this 50 ton container to safely transport 1 gram of Cf 252.  Some might not like that it has built in demurage which is unavoidable due to the laws of physics.  You lose half your coins every 2.645 years.  On a related note the idea that a coin will be successful based on its name makes me concerned about the OP level of critical thinking.

That's the entire point.

The vast majority of consumers don't make decisions based on critical thinking. It they did, they never would have continued using Windows 3.1 for Workgroups. The average consumer (aka human) makes buying decisions almost entirely from the perspective of the subconscious. This is a concept well known in the marketing world.

And the word "Gold" is embedded in the subconscious of every living human being as a concept/thought meaning value and wealth.  

How many Goldcoins do you have ? answer this question honestly

edit: and how much is the network hash-rate of Goldcoin, I remember a couple of months ago when you were paying miners with 5mh/s to mine it just to get to the block where you had a hard fork.... man you had forked this coin so many times that no one would trust it ever.

and people like you are dismantling that concept one step at a time with crap like 'goldcoin'

eventually the word 'gold' will be embedded in the subconscious of every living human being as a concept meaning marketing bs

 you simply changed everything and the most important thing (block reward), and you try to convince new comers to buy into your coin in every possible way, and your argument is that the coin name has Gold in it, this is why people have to invest ? this is why it will over take Bitcoin and Litecoin ?


even you are stupid or this is the pure definition of ponzi-scheme and scam, you should be ashamed.

Yes. It's because of the name not because of anything that I have done.

There are a lot of really really smart people here mostly coders and techies looking at the forest and missing the trees. Yes, we need tight code and innovative ideas to have a stable currency and infrastructure. But in all truth the consumer does not care about any of these things. If it's cool and useful that is most important.

If the name is already ingrained in their DNA and it's cool and useful it becomes unstoppable.

The fact that you guys reduced the block reward by like 90% shows that it's just a money grab peep show at this point

Wrong, you should educate yourself before making these false accusations. We have forked the coin only once and that was to stop it from producing unlimited coins due to a coding problem that was created before our watch.
And you changed the difficulty adjustment...
And you lowered the block reward, 100X...

500 for you guys that mined it before it was anywhere

45 for anyone now or in the future

Yea, great way to garner new interest in your project (if you can call it that)

We have mined very few coins. Most of the early adopters and miners from the 500 era dumped their shares onto the open market. That's one of the reasons the price is so unbelievably low at this point.

Don't take this as me being a dick, because I'm totally 100% neutral on caring whether this one succeeds or fails. I'm just saying that as an outside observer, if I were someone who was about to invest into crypto currencies, I would definitely do my homework and research before blindly throwing money at something. The history of this coin is just too tainted to garner any  real, worthwhile investors.

Again, not trying to be a dick so don't take this as an attack, it's purely outside observation. I have no idea what you guys are doing or plan to do, I'm just telling you that the most readily available information makes this look shady as fuck compared to other coins I can put my money into just as easily

I don't take this as you being a $ick. Your time and input are highly valued.

Best thing you could do, in my opinion, is go back to the 500 GLD block rewards, and start the natural process of lowering it back to 49 in increments.

Obviously, this would most likely not work at this point and just further dilute the per coin price, but going from 500 to 49 in one jump looks greedy as shit. If you had gone like 500, 250, 150, 100, 49, you would be a lot better off. Or even 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 49

Don't blame it on the code. You didn't need to reduce it like 90% just to fix the code from generating coins for infinity. You could have just as easily raised the lifetime cap

Right now it just looks like a money grab

This does not change the fact that early miners got 11x coins per block compared to now.

The price is so low because this is nothing more than a copy/paste Litecoin clone.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE.  MOVE ON.

Having "Gold" in the name means nothing.  You could have called it MyAssCoin and it would have been just as popular

This does not change the fact that early miners got 11x coins per block compared to now.

We debated the best way to fix the problem and came up with a solution that we felt was best.

It's not a perfect solution but it created a coin with a chance for tremendous long-term success. I think when we look back from the perspective of a $100 GoldCoin, this period in the coin's history will be little more that a tiny bump in the road.

That's exactly when (if) this will be the biggest issue. It will most likely be the same reason you never achieve those numbers, realistically

And stop saying you will pass BTC, it just makes you look stupid. Again, not an attack, outside observation. It's not good to overpromise. If anything, underpromise and overdeliver.

Just admit defeat to that beast and aim to pass Litecoin

However, I honestly think that will happen and not a single person has been able to point out to me why it can't and why it won't.

People have told you, you just ignore it so you can do you youtube scam-o-mercials. 

NETWORK EFFECT.

Bitcoin has it and GoldCoin doesn't.  This is isn't to say something can displace Bitcoin but the network effect sets the bar high and it will need to be something vastly superior.  GoldCoin is a weak copy of a copy with absolutely no innovation.   If Bitcoin is displaced it won't be by that garbage.

Gold coins could make an impact if they made physicals. Casascius the name is already used, but you could invent some totally random name, maybe change the capital C to K, maybe something like Kruger... what about Krugerrand?

you still didn't answer 2 of my questions:

1- how many coins do you hold (honestly)
2- how much is the network Hash-rate right now ( I know how much it is but I want you to tell it here)

when talking about digital-crypto currencies the first thing comes to any investor mind is the security of this currency, I know some people who can destroy your coin twice a day by pointing their hash power to the network.
your coin is a bad copy of LTC, forked, suffers with the low net-hashrate, and every single and most important parameter about it was changed, and have a group of scammers running it, calling the people involved developers is a shame for IT, your a bad copiers, Bitcoin and Litecoin developers did the work and you just come and copy past....

yes within this community there's certainly alot of blabber on about innovation, every troll in every thread seem to repeat the same gibberish, does anyone here ever think in actual terms of decent public adoption?

Which brings me to the point; 1)  joe public doesn't give two hoots about what u guys describe as innovation. 2) I am yet to see any real innovation in this alt section of the forum.,
