Title: Announcing SimpleCoin, and call for ideas...
Post by: ryw on January 18, 2014, 04:37:45 AM
Hi all —

We just launched a new company, SimpleCoin (http://simplecoin.co/) as a bitcoin product development lab.

We plan to:

A) establish a mining collaborative (http://simplecoin.co/mining) — I've got $50k committed, but with a clear hardware hookup I can get this up to $100k easily.
B) to develop an an app that will help those involved in crypto-currency arbitrage.
C) to team up with other people in the space with high-potential product ideas in the space.
D) develop additional crypto-currency product ideas that we have not yet disclosed.

Simplecoin is a subsidiary of Differential (http://differential.io/) a Cincinnati-based venture studio.

We're looking for help to acquire $50-100k worth of mining equipment (price/delivery speed is king), and if you have a killer bitcoin-related product idea, drop me an email.

Partner at Differential

We've launched: http://bluegrassmining.com

We've tried to make our first offering as simple as possible.

You can get involved in scrypt mining for as little as $100.

Over the course of a year, our goal is to turn each $100 into approximately .21 bitcoins (math for this is on the site).

Weekly, we'll deposit mined coins weekly into your Coinbase wallet.

Through this process, you'll learn a lot about mining, and it's a lot more fun than just buying and holding bitcoin.

If you don't have Coinbase yet, signup here:
https://coinbase.com/?r=52eef95b255a85dc92000002

Looking for feedback, questions, etc. We're building the machines this weekend.

-Ry

also, how do we know you're legit?

Yeah the drop in bitcoin price over the past few weeks does put a wrinkle in it :)

I expect it'll bounce back up to $700/800 after this Mt. Gox business is resolved.

But no doubt today it's pretty tempting to just buy BTC instead of our offering. But it's not as much fun.

I understand that I'm new to this forum, but I'm pretty publicly out there online.

Hmm, you should aim at getting some trust, and perhaps not announce your website with a 4 activity account.
It does not look good, even if the post itself is promising.

Yeah I'm new to this forum — nothing I can do about that :) Still trying to figure out how trust system works.

Thanks for feedback.

No - and googling for "instaclick.js" doesn't turn up anything I think could be referring to...

Sounds Interesting. Do you accept Credit/Debit Cards?
