They're getting their cheap coins now.   

My guess is KDC will be back in the mid 6000's by suppertime.

 

You all wanted buy support?  Well there ya go.  EVERYBODY wants the "cheap" KDC now!  Go you day-trading thugs!  Go fight over who buys it cheapest!  Go go go!

It's fun watching both sides trying to manipulate the market.

Excellent.  I'm definitely interested in the bolded.  Will it be capable of handling reoccurring subscription payments?

Also bravo for sticking to your design plans.

That's the only way it DOES work.  There needs to be a reason for the coin to exist.  If speculators aren't going to drive the coin themselves (which lets face it, the only ones asking for block changes ARE the speculators so that they can make a quick buck and move out), then something else has to.  What spiked BTC?  I'm not saying KDC needs a silk road, but it's what drove mainstream use.  It took off from there.

Hate to say it, but just like every other coin out there, KlondikeCoin is just a coin.  Without the community bringing reasons to use it, it's going to go no where just like every other coin in the long run.  The dev can't fix that.

For what it's worth, I will be offering a service that will accept KDC payment as soon as I get an automated front end for it set up.  I'm not ready to formally announce anything since I have a lot more work to do and not a lot of spare time to work on it, but I'm doing what I can.

You're basically saying turn KDC into a clone of Catcoin (though with an even smaller block reward).

Today's exchange volume for CAT across its primary exchanges:  11,295 CAT (or roughly 5 BTC)

Today's exchange volume for KDC across its primary exchanges:  169,843 KDC (or roughly 10 BTC)

Just by those metrics alone, I'd say KlondikeCoin is arguably the more successful coin as it is.  And once again, Catcoin has been "fixed" a couple of times already.  All your proposed fix would do is make the current KDC holders "rich" and leave a lot of pissed off new KDC coin holders, and drive off miners completely.

And then what? 

The current bag holders sell off with the new price spike creating a whole new set of bag holders.  A couple months from now we're right back where we are right now with a different set of voices complaining about the very same issues, asking for another fork so they can get their quick fix and sell out to a brand new set of bag holders.

Why don't we just cut the problem off at the knees and ask the dev to fork the block target to a 0 coin payout.  One knee-jerk reaction to fix them all!

Catcoin has been forked at least twice.  You can see exactly how well that has worked out.

If you haven't been following along, KlondikeCoin has dipped into the sub-6000 range several times since launch, and rebounded into the 9000 range several times since launch as well.  Tell me exactly how coin investors wouldn't possibly be loving this coin getting multiple 30-40% gains over the course of a couple months as well?

To date, KlondkideCoin has been one of the most ideal coins out there.  The only thing it's seriously lacking is community support in terms of vendors and sponsors.  I'll say it until I'm blue in the face y'all:  The dev ain't responsible for making that happen.  YOU ARE.

It doesn't really matter how many coins per day or what percentage there is... it really only matters what you can do with them.  Mining 1 coin worth 1,000,000 satoshis or 1,000,000 coins worth 1 satoshi, it really doesn't make a damn bit of difference.  And that's what matters - as far as Klondike goes it still is one of the MOST profitable coins out there and has been since it has been introduced - consistently in the top ten in daily profitability for mining per megahash.

Thank you.  I've been trying to point this out for the last few pages but nobody wants to hear it.  Hopefully you described it more plainly so people actually understand it better and realize there's nothing about the coin that needs to be "fixed" at this point.  Any short term fix is simply a long term loss for the coin.

KDC is only as worthless as the community allows it to be, not what the block size gives you.

The community needs to step up and give reasons to USE KDC in the wild to give it more value.  Just mining it and converting it to BTC like just about everybody is doing now is what makes it useless/worthless.

If you want the coin to grow and gain traction with more buy support from the outside world, you guys are responsible for making that happen... not the dev through artificial means that are just going to fail over a short amount of time without a proper ecosystem for the coin to support it in the long run.

Not sure if you've been keeping up, but NO coin right now is doing any better than Klondike.  In fact every coin is under stress right now, especially with what's going on with BTC as a whole.  Klondike has been in the top 10 for profitability for the last month straight.

KDC price going down?  It's gone down before.  Several times.  It's also gone up several times.  It will do so several more times, just like every other coin out there.

Read what I said about Catcoin again.  Tinkering with the block is only a bandaid.  The only thing is will possibly serve to do is allow the major stakeholders get get a quick pump and get the hell out of dodge at a profit.  Once they're out, we'll have a whole new set of bag holders bitching for yet a whole new quick fix.

Block fixes are NOT a long term solution, especially to an already stable coin like Klondike.

The dev shouldn't have to fix an already stable coin.  If the community wants the coin to become more valuable - the COMMUNITY should do something about it.  YOU all need to make the coin worth something instead of sitting there with your thumbs up your asses waiting for someone to give you a way to cash out for a profit.

*Disclaimer: I hold a stake in KDC, and I am a KDC pool operator.  Would a "quick fix" benefit me?  Yes.  Obviously, I don't want to see that because it means a long term failure for the coin.

Can't help the uninformed.

RonPaulCoin is MINING at about HALF the value of KlondikeCoin right now.  That means the current supply of KDC is worth nearly 2x as much as RPC in terms of BTC exchange rate.

You all are way too hung up on per-coin values rather than realizing that KDC is far more healthy than most of the other coins out there right now.

Not to be a jerk to any of the current KDC holders, especially the ones that have been working to prop the price up with their own resources, but I honestly hope that the dev doesn't make any changes to the block structure of the coin.

Think about it... this is one of the few coins that since release hasn't required a fork or design change (other than gravity, which honestly wasn't so much a structural change at all).  That says a lot about the coin itself.  It has seen its highs, it has seen its lows, but Klondike is STILL here.  It's STILL a rather valuable coin just based on its own merits.

For comparison's sake, look at catcoin.  Super popular, got smashed to oblivion by "fix" after "fix" after it fell off the map.  Each "fix" came, followed by a brief small surge is value, followed by a dump, followed by the coin value dropping to the proverbial shitter again.

The coin needs services, the coin needs to be on some of the more popular exchanges, the coin needs better promotion.

I urge the dev and the community to strongly consider the actions of a "quick fix" to Klondike Coin.  The only people I can see really clamoring for it are going to be the large stakeholders so that they can cash out quickly at a profit and then move on.  This is exactly what Klondike doesn't need.

Oh look, an extra 200MH/s network hashrate in the last half hour.  I wonder why that happened?

I'd be okay with all the extra miners, however none of them seem to be hitting kdc.poolminewith.us.

Share the love people!

To be honest, I was sort of hoping KDC wouldn't make it to a site like coinwarz.  It's a double-edges sword of sorts... the exposure is nice, but now we're at the mercy of the likes of middlecoin (despite kimoto's).
