Confirmed, BlackCoin going to VaultOfSatoshi at next update (another good FIAT > BC option):

Yes, but when you want to send a gift to someone, for example a potential client for your bussiness or you want to surprise someone, it's much more convenient and direct to send the gift directly to the person you want to make that gift ("as is"); less steps, less time consuming, more simple, more practical. As an option isn't bad, and I think it's a good idea.

-EDIT-
But, don't get me wrong, I really like the cards and they look impressive, keep up the good work!

Should I even bother writing and producing a song if this won't win anyway?

Just so you know, barabbas here parked himself on the Spaincoin forum and attacked and abused anyone trying to support that coin. As the value went down, he then ranted that the value was so low it was now an insult to try and gift it to anyone Spanish. I guess he's moved here now, I suggest hitting the ignore button rather than drawn in to these pointless squabbles.

This is a bit too much... but I guess you somehow need it... Sad, very sad. The "design of the card, outside of the logo, is your regular credit card with a black background, Monster "design creation" on your part. As for the software, aren't all those phone cards that came out like 10 years ago, rechargeable? Is that the "software innovation" you are bringing to the BC table? You do know you can order now refillable credit cards with photos of Elvis, Marilyn... etc., don't you? But yours is indeed an amazing contribution to the BC community worth at least half the current price in the market. Or more. Happier now?

And do you realize that stating opinions about me without having the slightest idea of who I am or what may I have  accomplished just makes you look pathetically silly? Oh well if you need your jollies jigged that way, I guess you do. To each his own.  

Nice. But it'd be nicer even if in 3-d.

Told you before and I'm gonna tell you again, keep up the good work mate!  

That you pretend to know anything about me is just pathetic, in a funny kind of way. So ok, create whatever perception you may have of me that blocks you from looking at the mirror and see yourself.

So you "created" a card. Nice looking, no doubt and a collection item if you ask me... not for "your" design, but the the logo design that I state on every post is not only gorgeous but BC's best assent beyond team-community. Those should sell like hot cakes NOT BECAUSE OF YOU or any trust, but as simple beautiful collectible item. I will get one myself, as a matter of fact. And not because they are usable at the moment for any practical way. But you want credit for it? OK, all to you. More satisfied now? And, you don't know, you maybe more remembered for it than for the vague memory of you everyone in the forum someday, kind of the endearing cloudy memory one has when years past of the town's fool.

And no, I did not spend all those words analyzing you -but of course an egomaniac of your proportions would assume so-, I used those words to make points that some in this forum needs to be reminded that ethics count for something and that raw greed most often destroys good projects and, well, you know, I see BC as a good project that depends on image and crypto-community's perception  and you know I don't want anyone mildly interested in the coin to come here and have the wrong perception... you, pal, offer the wrong perception to anyone/.

Fortunately you were given religion by a team that knows better to let the greedy bunch run amok. They will continue doing what they have done so greatly so far and, hopefully, reining in on yahoos out for prey.

Otherwise, good luck with the gorgeous card, like I said, I'll get one myself. Maybe two.

IconicExpert was right.

WE need a pump to get out of this shit mess we're in. You guys might not see the big picture, or are blind to care. But long term we are going down. 2 weeks ago we were trading around 50K, last week it was 40K, and now we are happy if we can reliably break 30K.

I like how you are thinking. Marketed correctly, we could make this a luxury crypto that is desirable to own. The stage is already set with the logo already having that touch of class about it with the black and gold finish and elegant font face.

We're stripped free of the stigma attached to Bitcoin, because people who think of Bitcoin automatically think:

- Silk road, drugs, crime (illegal activity)
- Mining bitcoins electronically on computers (difficult for the layperson to understand)
- Nerdy

So far we've got this coin off to a great start but it's only the beginning. IMO the biggest factor behind a coins success by far is marketing. Forget the technical specifications or the trading volume or anything else. Marketing is king. But it all ties together, with our strong technical specs it gives us a lot to shout about.

I am super happy we have Iconic Expert on board, having such a super energized individual is invaluable and can really make a difference. Every coin has enough people just talking on the discussion forums and too little people who really make things happen. Wish I was one of the latter as well though.    But it's just like everywhere in life, some people lead and innovate, others go to work 9-5 and hate their lives for it but are too passive the make the change.

PS. Luxury Currency BlackCoin sounds sweet.

The problem with the angle I see here where 'Blackcoin' is trying to marry it's image to luxury products is that really you have to be number 1 to do that. So Bitcoin can make a meaningful connection to a luxury market, Blackcoin just looks like a wannabe with this kind of focus and message.

Wouldn't a Louis Vuitton BlackBag be great PR?

Lol wow how true that is!

very low indeed.
to brag about your daughter being invited to a LV shop is really hilarious....ROFL
thx for the laughs

This thread is getting so ridiculous I keep coming back to it every day for the LOLs. When a man brings up where his 13 y/o daughter had a special private party at in order to defend his character and positions on cryptos (i.e., BC specifically), that's when this thread turned into a circus. PT Barnum has arrived!!!!

"What we have here is a lack of communication!". Well, not exactly: What we have here is Iconic desperately trying to make something inherently bad,  in every conceivable way, look... acceptable. Let's get this clear one and for all and with no room for interpretations or misunderstandings, semantics aside: PUMP, in the context of trading markets, is 100% bad. Period. No ifs, no busts, no maybes. It's actually illegal too ... in the real world and potentially also in the cryptoworld although pending precedent (imagine someone suing Iconic, these boards and Blackcoin for having lost a fortune due to Pump and dump schemes). Ok, before going further, "Dump", as in Pump and Dump, is equally a dirty word and equally illegal.

It is clear that iconic has a supersized ego, patently obvious. What he also has, beside an inflated "market-wise" concept of himself, is a total disconnect with reality... to suit his wild ideas "to help BC". And he takes any attack on his flagrantly obvious shortcomings to the common ground of "instead of attacking me why don't you tell me what you do for BC instead", as a sure way to deflate the attack. It's puerile, in fact, school patio stuff. And all of us here have seen "Wall Street" many times, so we are quite aware of the schemes that take place in Forex and the regular market. Most of us have also read the Flash Boys and many other books on the matter, not to mention seen "The Wolf of Wall Street" -great movie, bu the way-. What Iconic leaves out, so voluntarily, is that the SEC and the FBI ARE indeed watching over these schemes because, you know, they are ILLEGAL.

But the kicker is the pretended -we all know better- "muddling of the waters" when it comes to equate legitimate decisions, strategies, announcements, deals, etc., with illegal, organized activities such as the proposed pump and dump. That's not only absurd, not only NOT done by anyone (again: it is ILLEGAL) in the real world but also there are very strict punishment for those whose greed is tempted and filter "inside information". So no, the opposite is true and it is the obligation of every public company to release any information to the general public without benefiting in any way from the possible effects of the events, news or whatever object of such information.

But lets stop the rhetoric and cal it like it is: Pure and simple greed. When Iconic says absurdities like "I would round up a few friends of mine with $20k each..." or words of that effect, he's just going on his fantasy world. Assuming he has any real friends, assuming he has friends who participate and invest in the crypto world, none of them would have $20k that they would put in any way, shape or form, at the disposal of Iconic's absurd -and ethically and legally questionable- ideas. Not one. I doubt he himself has $20k to invest in this... but I'd be guessing and I don't want to do that. What is not a guessing game is that, for Iconic, the trading price of a major volume commodity or currency such as BC, not only is "manipulated" but SHOULD be manipulated... only to his liking and to serve his personal purposes (under the disguise, of course, of benefiting the "community"). It's just pure, simple greed, nothing else. Everyone and his aunt knows that when a pump takes place -and they naturally do, due to market euphoria, analysts releases and many other causes, the so called "smart money" has left the building already a long time before the bag holders run for the exits. A "market savvy" guy calling the shots Napoleon-like would be left holding "for the long term"? Come on! More importantly, how many of those "pumping" would become "smart money"? Finally, any so called "whale" loaded up on BC and obviously subscribed to the pump and dump group, whether private or public, would not be the first to jump the boat? ANY and all ways you look at it, this is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea only conceivable in the sick mind of a very greedy egomaniac. Because, clearly, what we have here is that, more even than a greedy one... The Napoleon-like situation, you know...

I have stated this before on IRC: This would come out as somehow sanctioned by the "Team" and would forever tarnish the reputation of BlackCoin. With the entire crypto community, the crypto-investing community and any noob coming in with curiosity and interest. Irreparable damage at that. BC has managed, through plain crazy luck, great community support and a "team" that so far has hit 99% of all the right notes, in less than 2 months what many others have failed to achieve in many more months, even years. It will have ups and downs in price that the "Team" should not even look at for it would distract them from the strategic plan and it will have big swings and, of course, attempts at manipulation by those with enough resources to game the game and all the growing pains of an extremely young and very successful enterprise. Jump in or jump out. Do help or don't, up to you if you even have a real possibility to do it. Cards? anything that exploits that gorgeous logo will be successful, be it cards, T-shirts, clothes, perfumes, anything... that would be marketing and will indeed come not necessarily pushing it, but when time is due either because the team decides to invest serious money in it or because outside forces find it potentially profitable and do themselves. Patience and greed, unfortunately, are like water and oil, they just don't mix.

Add an outsized ego and a tin foil hat to the equation, and you have a deadly cocktail.

Oh and, Iconic, before you go to the common place again, and suggest that I better do something for BC... well, I just did.
