Earlier this week someone wanted to buy coins and a few of us suggested to buy because the price wont get much lower. I am not sure if they took our adsvice, but as we predicted the price didn't get much lower. BlackCoin may dip a bit over the weekend, not really sure, but I think the days of 7000 sat BlackCoins are gone. As soon as the effects of Black Friday begin to wear off, then we have Blackout Wednesday next week Smiley

Over 9000 sat, we might be headed for an all time high before the day is over. It is amazing what a community can do when it pulls together. We have the best devs, best community, and by far the best coin!

awesome thing is the scrypt speed of multipool is going higher and higher everyday  Cool

I've got mine rented for tommorow Wink

I'm totally new to mining. How would I rent a rig to mine tomorrow?

www.betarigs.com

Select your rig, pay, point the stratum, fill in user and password and done! Smiley

Now that's cool

It's pretty cheap too, cheaper than those buggers selling on ebay


Yea it is very cheap. After the renter has placed his/her order, how long does it take before the miner goes "live"?

Immediately. The miner always mines on a fall back pool and gets redirected in the moment you rent it.

Thank you for the info! That is very impressive....

Second this is pointless. It's a dumbass idea (if not intentional FUD as well), and btw iconicexpert is too intelligent to want anything to do with it, I wager you.


Thank you for the compliment and you are correct I will sit this one out Smiley

2.) I think the idea of a "council" to help direct the direction of BlackCoin is not a bad idea. Even to offer reasonable predictions is also not a bad idea if done right.

I want to elaborate more on #2. The past several days our community have come together and came up with some great ideas. We have been working together to improve BlackCoin. We have some very smart people here from different backgrounds and cultures. The devs can only be expected to do so much, we as a community have to pitch in. So for example a "council" can be formed to help fund projects, suggest new features to the devs, work on PR...etc..etc.

That being sad, when you have a group of people with different ideas..etc..etc it usually falls apart Smiley
1588  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS | No premine on: April 03, 2014, 01:42:31 PM

OK, i suggest to form a small team from BlackCoin Community which can give price indications for small and medium term, and just them can give official declarations (suggestions, predictions) about the price directions.
by doing that we can prevent panic sell and panic buy and make BlackCoin more stable.

the team can accept:
- Economists
- Cryptocurrency experts
- holders of more than 500K of BC
- ........

Not a bad idea. However, many of the people that buy/sell BlackCoin never visit these forums. If they did they wouldn't be selling their coins for discounted prices.

we can post the (price team) suggestions in BlackCoin website and in social media, then when buyers and sellers will know about this will be a good source of stability for BC, and this will give BC one more advantage against Bitcoin.

the big holders of BC will have more credibility and trust for the assets they are holding, and no fake or stupid predictions (or news) will effect their holdings

the team will work as a central bank, just to give indications and protect the coin from falling in a hands of pumpers and dumpers,
if we have the top ten holders of the coin in the team, the team will have all credibility for other holders,
it's not stupid idea, it's bad and dangerous idea for dumpers, and who want fast easy profit which can destroy the coin fast.

IconicExpert can announce the formation of this team in his marketing campaign next week,

So basically you want to form a contract, arrangement or understanding with the top holders of blackcoin for the purpose of fixing, controlling or maintaining price in the market? Do you realize that this is EXACTLY why Crypto exists in the first place? To avoid central authorities that hold all the power. Collective refusals to supply (top holders deciding to remove their sell orders) to create artificial price rises didn't work too well for Mint now did it. Be aware that what you are suggesting is the forming of a cartel, a collection of would be competitors who form contracts, arrangements or understandings to significantly lessen competition in the market. This is illegal in nearly every civilized nation state in the world - and for bloody good reason. It rips of consumers. People must pay a grossly inflated price, far higher than would otherwise be the case had it not been for the cartel. They therefore just don't buy - the coin becomes a rip off, a scamcoin. The only winners are those who hold massive stacks of coins - those that would have ordinarily bought in would see or hear about this and promptly give us the middle finger. Certain individuals have alot to gain from such an idea but the community loses out. Not to mention it only takes one holder to leave the cartel to cause a collapse.

The only legitimate way to increase the price is to buy up the sells on offer and keep buying them up. If that doesn't work and the price still drops then sorry, the coin just ain't worth what we would like it to be - yet. If someone wants to pay $2,000,000 USD and push the price up to 13,000 Sat then go for it - but don't think you can just collectively stop selling or fiddle the market and suddenly people will pay twice the price. People will pay twice the price - If the market cap doubles.


1.) The press release is already written and is currently being refined. I will not be adding the formation of any group/origination to the press release, it doesn't match the context of the release.
2.) I think the idea of a "council" to help direct the direction of BlackCoin is not a bad idea. Even to offer reasonable predictions is also not a bad idea if done right.
3.) I am not for forming a "cartel" to control pricing, that is a slippery slope into oblivion.
4.) The market will dictate the price of BlackCoin, and over time the price will increase due to supply and demand.

Attention Devs

Earlier I sent a PM to Rat4 to no avail, so I will post here as well. Thank you for making the changes to the BlackCoin.co homepage so quickly. Moving the "Buy Blackcoin" section up to the top of the page will help first time visitors just learning about BlackCoin.

I have one more request I hope you can implement before next Wednesday. Our press release will target North America and select European countries. Our release will go to some of the top financial websites, and their readers are interested in investment opportunities. Unfortunately these readers have short attention spans and if the information isn't right in front of them they can get distracted very easy. Can we have a real time ticker on the front page that gives the value of BC in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD?



AAaaaand it's fixed Smiley

(huge thanks to maarx for fixing this)

Once again great job!!! I think it is fine the way it is. Anyone who has ever traded stocks/forex should clearly understand. I think you should consider removing SAT for either CAD or AUD. I purposely left out BTC when I suggested adding the prices for a reason. BlackCoin was developed to be the better coin, and whether we say it publicly or not we think BlackCoin is better than Bitcoin. I think we as a community want BlackCoin to become independent from Bitcoin. Just because something was developed first, or because more people use it doesn't mean it is better. So why if most of us here think BlackCoin is better, why do we need to display how much BlackCoin is worth in BTC/SAT?

I read the first draft of our press release and it focuses on the differences between BlackCoin and Bitcoin, and why BlackCoin is better. As Bitcoin prices keep dropping people are going to want to invest in another coin, and why can't it be BlackCoin?

Also, we keep having these debates between BlackCoin and Mintcoin, and I honestly do not know why. Every time one of us respond to a "Mint is better" post, we are giving Mint undeserved attention. When you are a boxer and you are hungry for the title, you do not keep fighting the boxer that you have already beaten, you go after the champion. We have already "beaten" Mint and we as a community need to focus on the Champion (Bitcoin). As a community can we pledge to ignore Mintcoin posts in this thread?

I think BlackCoin still has a long ways to go before we can really loose the price in BTC and go fiat only. We actually choose for SAT since it's a way bigger nummer to show (6000 looks alot better then 0.00006 Wink) and it is clear for the current community what it is.

Great job, can't wait to see the draft Smiley

You will be surprised how quickly something can catch on. It took Bitcoin years because not many people were paying attention. However, more people are paying attention to crypto-currencies and people are looking for the next Bitcoin.

That was the first draft I received. I should receive the second/final draft today. I will send to you and Rat4 to review. This weekend I will allow the contributors to read.

BlackCoin Rewards Card Update!!!

I just finished making a cup of coffee when I received this wonderful email!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi redacted,

Thank you for the follow up email.

Based on the information you had provided, we can certainly submit your account request to our issuing bank to see if we can get the reward and incentive program approved. This would need to be a non-reloadable co-branded card program based on your card needs.

Does this work?  Would you like to proceed with the account set up process?

Many Thanks,
redacted


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday I sent her a follow up email after not hearing back from her, and I also sent her more information on a few idea changes to make it easier to get approved. I am not going to post my idea changes publicly because it has come to my attention that another community is trying to copy our efforts. Imitation is the best form of flattery Smiley

This was a major hurdle to overcome because they do not just submit to the issuing bank unless they are fairly confident it will be approved. I want to point out this does not mean we are approved, but the BlackCoin Rewards Card is closer to becoming a reality!

I think I am going to add a little Mint cream in my Black Coffee  Wink


Already said it, but just wanted to make sure u read this; love what you're doing for this coin and it's community. If you ever need help with anything related to webdesign, HTML, CSS, translations eng>dutch or eng> ger, be sure to hit me up Smiley

Thank you I appreciate your kind words!!!
1594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS | No premine on: April 02, 2014, 06:18:55 PM
It's funny with so many dishonest thieves all in one place I don't understand how any of you can trust the other. It sure looks like one of you is lying and selling off more coins than they should be

I am slowly gaining BC through buying and the pool,  Everyone who dumps BC is slowing giving me more control over BC, and hundreds of others like me who are not going to sell until the price goes up a order of magnitude from here.  

Once people like me lock-down a majority of the outstanding BC you won't be getting anymore cheap.  BC is going to make a few hundred people who understand what is going on here rich.  

I'm going to keep buying and mining BC,  I will even rent more rigs to throw at the pool,  Soon the pool will become most profit pool to mine on because BC price is up,  then everyone will mine BC,  then the price will go up up UP!  Then it will still be most profitable.  Next thing we know we are starting to challenge LTC.   That is what is in our future if even a portion of us buy, mine and hold.    

We are in control,  you have to ask yourself do you want crypto to make you rich?   If you do.  You Buy, Hold, Mine.  Period.

+1

You are wasting your key strokes Smiley. People do not understand this coin is only several weeks old and is up 1160%. They don't realize it has the most volume than any other coin on Mintpal. All of the data is right in front of them and they keep selling low. I am not mad at all because I keep snatching up all these cheap coins. Even when this coin reaches $5.00, and it will, I am NOT selling! IMO BlackCoin is the first brandable coin. Everyone that is smart enough to hold will be millionaires in a year.

BlackCoin Rewards Card Update!!!

I decided to re-post this one more time because we had a lot of troll activity this morning, and I am sure a few people who are interested missed it.

rat4 wrote you that for those atacks BC POS is not valuable how many times he need wrote the same ?

Writing that you don't think attack vectors exist does not mean that attack vectors do not actually exist.  Replies of "that will not happen" are denials of the rich conceptual history and well noted theoretical problems of proof-of-stake systems.

I visited your links. You do realize no system is 100% secure? If it was created by man it can be defeated by man. I would like to point out the 51% attack with a POS coin in theory IS possible but would be very expensive and would make most of the people here very wealthy. That is similar to me suggesting that if someone took a tank and rolled it into my local bank they could take all of the money out of the vault. Yes it can be done, but the likelihood of someone doing that is virtually impossible.

1597  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS | No premine on: April 02, 2014, 03:37:33 PM

Could you imagine a publicity stunt with 100+ pretty women all wearing BlackCoin T-Shirts in Times Square NYC on a Friday? "BlackCoin Friday"!

When is this happening?? !!!!  Grin
 Cool

Has anyone looked into doing some tshirts?


Yes I have looked into it already Smiley... Once I make good on the promises I already made, and earn the trust of the community, we can easily set that up. During the Summer companies do similar publicity stunts/promotions in Manhattan all the time. The girls would do it for free or for very little money if they know they are going to be photographed by press.
1598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS | No premine on: April 02, 2014, 03:23:46 PM
I promised myself I wasn't get involved in the MintCoin vs BlackCoin debates but this is getting silly.

1. The likelihood of either BlackCoin or Mintcoin being attacked in some way is highly unlikely at best.

2. Coming to this thread posting propaganda is just a waste of time and quite frankly it is annoying. The numbers speak for themselves and BlackCoin has had the most volume of any coin on MintPal for over two weeks.

3. Honestly speaking, outside of this community no one cares about the mechanics of these coins. So it comes down to "branding", and I am sorry but "Mintcoin" isn't very brandable. For example; People in this community are playing on a famous quote: "Once you go black..." And also the community have borrowed a famous shopping day of the year "Black Friday" and adopted it as our own. Could you imagine a publicity stunt with 100+ pretty women all wearing BlackCoin T-Shirts in Times Square NYC on a Friday? "BlackCoin Friday"!

4. We have one of the best developers and communities hands down. We are all working together to come up with new ideas and solutions.

I wish Mintcoin and the Mintcoin community success. So please stop with the Mintcoin nonsense and stop posting negative comments here.

Yesterday I made the suggestion that the "Buy BlackCoin" section on BlackCoin.co should be moved above the fold. In less than 24 hours it was done!!! The dev and this community is one of the best if not the best.

If you are waiting to buy BlackCoin you better get it now while it is still cheap. Because this dev and community are the real deal and this coin is only going to increase in value.

Bravo to Rat4 and the BlackCoin community!!!

i agree with you and respect BC team and community, but nothing can go up without fall, 100% must go down before go up again, who sell his coins at 7300 want to buy again cheaper, dump will come, expect Sunday at 6pm (always happening at 6 pm)

I never make promises I can't deliver on, but I promise you after Weds you will no longer be able to get BlackCoin for these low prices. The community gave me the tools to be able to effectively promote BlackCoin, and I will deliver on my promise. I spent over 10 years learning how to promote my products on a very limited budget, and I am going to use the skills to help the BlackCoin community. Also, I have a few things in the works to coincide with our press release on Weds. So yes it might dip a bit before next Weds, but after next Weds BlackCoin will continue to rise in value. So everyone who is selling their coins cheap this week will be kicking themselves next week.
