ColoradoGold is a fun, "shameless" effort to capture a hot moment, and then create lasting value.
It was definitely inspired by other events and I promise to clearly show how this project is unique, timely, and potentially worth a fortune, in both money and important things that money cannot buy.

Constructive criticism is welcomed:
Posting a "knee-jerk", thoughtless response is not OK, thank you.

Nature has value
Colorado has this kind of Gold

and this kind:
https://i.imgur.com/5YWeiQP.jpg
There are many real gold mines and claims in beautiful Colorado.

Colorado will soon rise to a Major Global Tourist Destination since it is the first state to have legal pot for sale.

• Colorado has casinos and Indian Tribes which are hungry for new types of promotional tokens, player rewards, secure payment options, etc.
• The effect of a media blizzard related to MazaCoin (http://rt.com/usa/native-american-nation-bitcoin-632/), sent the price up 20x (2000%) in a few hours.
  
• Imagine the media exposure for a grassroots effort in Colorado.
• This is not a classic "pump and dump" project; You can pass some of the profits down to your grand-kids.
• We will use "golden marketing" to get things rolling, but in the end value will come from enjoying a fun project and expecting the future is virtually limitless.

Let's not forget world class skiing
The first 5 people to post a picture of Colorado skiing will get ~$5 worth of ColoradoGold asap, and a 25% discount on any small to medium IPO purchase, or 10% off a Big Block of CO Gold.

Enough "talk" here is one real example of how ColoradoGold can be used:

1) Ski resorts offer food and cheap lodging to "ski bums" who work for little or no money in order to enjoy free lift tickets all season.
2) Which resort would you work at?
a) Come to MntPeak ski lodge and we will give you "food and cheap lodging plus almost no money"

b) Come to CO Paradise ski resort and we will give you "food and cheap lodging plus a little cash and you receive 35 ColoradoGold every week.
Paradise ski resort has more to offer, so they get the best workers.


Introducing the coGold Community Government

At the time of this writing the alt currency "movement" has serious problems, too numerous to waste time talking about. A huge event happened today which can change/improve us forever.

• When the news broke about the Indian tribe using MazaCoin to better themselves, were traders at the exchange yelling "premined scamcoin" or were they investing in an obviously exciting story?
• The Native American who started that project had a clear vision of something better.
• I have a (experimental) proposal to strike a balance between Open Source Community sharing and rewarding the people who step up (with a rational self-interest) and say "Hey look at what we can do."

Balance has been mentioned:

Dark contains some light
Good contains at least a bit of evil
Participants in a community effort have some "selfishness"
etc.

Instead of just one project this post will be starting a twin effort, featuring at least 5 things never attempted before.

1) The coGold Community Government can be in charge of ColoradoGold when I step down after a transition period; If interested, the coGold Community Government might be in a position to expand into an exciting free-market experiment covering other projects.
2) Whales (large IPO investors) can only receive a limited amount early on, and much more over time (like a trust fund), so the 2 projects will not be damaged by the fear of whales "dumping" their large stash. Also our whales have an incentive to eventually fly to Colorado and visit some businesses regarding selling their Colorado products globally with a Galtcoin Business Incubator partnership.
3) finishing soon...
4) Small down payments even on large purchases...
edit ...finishing soon with the 5 things never attempted before


Coin Specs
Semi-rare and usable (i.e How about community input on 100M?, a little more than LTC and a lot more rare than FTC)

This rough draft will be updated ASAP.
In case you somehow didn't notice:

• This thread is also the global [pre-ANN] thread for Galtcoin.....stay tuned for interesting developments.

Let's test the community spirit:
You can tip any amount please... even 0.0005 is OK (for example), but larger will feel good too

I have real-world experience in both business and Open Source, both are amazing. If you really believe in "community spirit", please show it with a semi-generous tip.  
Thank you.

Looking forward to the release, really love those trees.

Sounds like you've actually put some thought into this which is nice to see these days!

It looks like you spent some time trying to find a niche.  It'll be interesting to see what type of momentum you can generate with the ridiculous amount of alt projects coming out daily.

I like colorado and i like gold.

I may just like this. :)

This might be a good direction to go for coins.  We see with ideas like GPUCoin the potential for coins backed by actual goods and services.
Colorado and Washington (washingtonian here) will become largest tourist attractions and there will be a lot of money involved.
If you can somehow offer discounts by the way of free ColoradoGold which customers can use to purchase merchandise easily then there will be a draw to it.
 
constructive criticism:  Edit your original post.  It gives off a unprofessional vibe. Also maybe work on it a little more before announcing, once again professionalism is important with a coin based on actual services and goods.  With fun hype coins it is one thing, but with coins involving actual businesses it is another.

Like it!
Let's see where nature goes..

I was thinking of a different kind of Colorado gold :P

could be interesting, what algo is being used, and premine % also?

hmm nice the pics make me want to mine it.
I will be watching this one. waiting for more details on stakes for page 1-22 ^^. good luck.

I'm in!  Looks interesting.

Creating state and country-specific coins is certainly a new directions for coins.  I will be interested to see how you will differentiate your coin from Aurora and Maza.

Steamboat Springs skiing is the best.

Id like to see more info about premine and algo but so far it sounds promising.

 Speaking of highs Colorado also has the highest suspension bridge in the USA (Royal Gorge Bridge) and I've been to it during a road trip visiting our relatives that lived in WY and CO. Another form of gold in CO is the golden Trout that can be caught in the rivers and streams. I have not caught one of those but I have caught a few other types of trout while I was there. Looking forward to participating in this and hopefully spending some Colorado Gold on my next trip to CO. Good Luck!

I agree. The OP doesn't sound very professional, rather a series of half thoughts spread around. I understand it's likely a work in progress ;)

I don't know about the future of this coin, but I do know that nothing beats Colorado snow. So I'll gladly post a pic of Copper Mountain:

Sounds Great, still thinking.

Is Colorado Gold designed to function like a real-world currency in the same way that Mazacoin is aiming to? That's what I'm getting from the intro. It seems like an ambitious project that may succeed or fail depending solely on the development team's resources, influence and capabilities.

I was wondering if I could claim the ten dollars from the survey thread?

Nothing beats Vail, people...

If you're going for "semi-rare and usable", honestly, why not 50M instead of 100M? Really differentiate from LTC and its many clones by keeping the numbers down and the coins actually rare.

I took part in your survey thread ("the $10 survey thread")
Looking forward to the launch announcement

Extremely interested in this coin. I like the fact that it has a bunch of goals/projects that it would like to complete. With this outline, I see this coin being used and not just another pump and dump coin

Color me interested, would also like more info if there is premine and such.

I like the idea. I would hope there is no premine. Also I think It should be pow/pos.  I like how pos coin give people who cant mine access to newly created coins as well as its like interest. Thats just my input though goodluck.

since the trees need raising im sure they need SUN!

You have piqued my interest, sir! I liked your example. I've been interested to see how and why crypto could and would be integrated into real life work (besides drug dealing and other illicit activities haha). Count me in for a share, mate! Thanks

Vail, killing rich people as fast as it can, since 1962

I'm interested. I am curious how followup 'country/area' coins will do, but this has a good a chance as any.
100M seems like a decent number to me, although wouldn't mind a bit less even. At least you will hopefully stay away from billions+ coins, which really waters down value.

Looks/sounds like a Klondikecoin knock-off.

Great- posting this with reference to the $10 survey thread on which I posted.

I really like to travel, like skiing, I think this is a currency of travel enthusiasts. ;D

Count me In
This my blog : http://lingyong.me

"I promise to clearly show how this project is unique, timely, and potentially worth a fortune, in both money and important things that money cannot buy."

Why you say that ?
Where is the whitepaper?

Every day a lot of money released, I expect this money to have more innovation, making him more valuable.

Look like  intresting^
This might be a good  coins.

Colorado and Washington (washingtonian here) will become largest tourist attractions and there will be a lot of money involved.

I don`t know  what happened to cryptocoin, There are too many coins relate to  animalsc,countries,heaven or hell and fucking UFO！can we just make some good coin not just “bump and pump” coin.

Id like to see more info about premine and algo but so far it sounds promising.good!!!!!!!

It looks interesting. I do take part, cause i filled out the survey  ;D

When do I get my $5 in coins for being one of the 1st 5 to post a skiing pic in the thread?

Constructive criticism is welcomed:
Posting a "knee-jerk", thoughtless response is not OK, thank you. (More details in the post #45 below)




As soon as possible, the pix were great thanks.






Everyone:
Please don't post only "Count me in" the forum doesn't allow those posts anymore.

For the person calling others idiots:

1) How many projects is this thread about one project or two?
2) If there are two projects, how many are "pure community style" and how many are allowed to reward the efforts of people who act with "rational self interest"?

Please answer the simple quiz and do not insult anyone else, thank you.

Interested to see how this takes of. I filled in the questionnaire, hope you can use the answers to do something good here :)

Any specs on the coin?

took part in your survey!

Every day a lot of money released, I expect this money to have more innovation, making him more valuable.

Coloradogold, is there any update?

I think the project is dead.
