I was waiting for another contest and here it comes.
Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: sugarfree on January 14, 2015, 02:45:53 PM For Bitcoin to have value as a generally accepted payment method, two things need to happen:
It must be very easy to obtain bitcoins and it must be very easy (and cost effective) to use them to purchase a wide variety of goods. Not bad, is it? I want a second prize at least. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: mamarried on January 14, 2015, 04:35:46 PM Honestly, I have my my own opinion, but just to check ;D I googled the title of the contest.
Found 50 answers from people who know their crypto ::) Shoould I now make a compilation? Pick the best answer? Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: Jeramom on January 15, 2015, 01:58:40 AM Now this made me go and find out what the heck ZiftrCOINs are and what they're worth.
What I found out made me think the grand prize is grand, I'm entering. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: salmondance on January 15, 2015, 03:45:09 AM What do you call mass acceptance exactly? When housewives can buy groceries with it?

What I found out made me think the grand prize is grand, I'm entering. What? A ZiftrCOIN costing as much as bitcoin?

What I found out made me think the grand prize is grand, I'm entering. What? A ZiftrCOIN costing as much as bitcoin? It's not in circulation yet and they've sold close to 4 million already.

They say presale ends in a week and it looks like a promising coin to me. I wonder why they sponsor a contest about bitcoins though, aren't they supposed to be promoting this new coin of theirs?

Not bad, is it? I want a second prize at least. Sort of too obvious for a prize. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: collinstar on January 16, 2015, 08:11:49 AM I think this guy is right: Vitalik Buterin, Author at Bitcoin Magazine responds:
Banking integration is the main challenge; businesses need ways to integrate Bitcoin efficiently and then immediately sell the bitcoins if they do not want to get exposed to the price volatility.

Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: BeataTX91 on January 18, 2015, 09:05:25 AM Well if the new coin does not turn out to sell for 1 BTC each after presale, the first prize looks ok for a short article.
I think I'm game. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: dbwilkins on January 19, 2015, 04:30:13 AM Two days left - anyone competing?

Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: spainful on January 23, 2015, 10:19:47 AM Looks like the contest ends today.
I wonder if we'll see anything really interesting, not some obvious stuff.

Looks like ZiftrCOINs presale fetched them some decent money - anyone else following the news?

Wow, I might be slow but I just found out the presale ended (https://www.ziftrcoin.com/presale/) and they managed to sell over 4 million coins.

I don't get it - first people BOUGHT the coins and THEN they'll give them away for free? Am I missing something here? This is what they say: (https://www.ziftrcoin.com/what-is-ziftrcoin/coin-specifications/) We are pre-mining 4.5% of the total ziftrCOINs, 66.7% of which we will give away to consumers. In doing this, we hope that more consumers start to become familiar with cryptocurrency. To further achieve this goal, we are developing a mobile wallet that will hold all major types of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Litecoin and ziftrCOIN. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: FloodZone on February 05, 2015, 05:45:56 AM Oh, my.
"We’re locking these coins in the blockchain, where the first 25% won’t be available to use until one year has passed and the remaining 75% will be distributed evenly over the course of the three years that follow." These guys have ambitious plans, I should say. Title: Re: Compete to win Bitcoins and ZiftrCOINs Post by: littlebeetle on February 05, 2015, 07:10:18 AM Ten billion coins. And 300 million to be given away in promotions - Good God!
