Crowdfunding academic research with cryptocurrencies is in fact excellent idea. When you have collected enough funds, applicants can present their research ideas and crowdfunders can vote on which they want to fund.
indeed, and when you do a crowdfunding campaign you want donors, and non-donor supporters to help with the endeavor. each project takes lots of effort from very many directions. As you do the work you will find that everything counts, not just the money, but the efforts as well. |

With doge i've bought, coffee, LOTS of granola, tea, a couple t-shirts, some stickers, 10mh/s worth of hashlets and now with gocoin and paypal, i'll be buying A LOT more stuff with my doge!
that's fantastic to hear, but could you tell me more about "gocoin and paypal"? I've been hearing a lot about what paypal is going to do, did they actually do something? Those doge purchases where done at physical stores, or online stores? If online what stores? Yes
thanks for contributing to the discussion, would you elaborate a bit, like what did you buy, what currency did you use, where did you buy it, was it using one of bitpay's tools or direct alt coin payment. all alt coins need to figure out ways to make their coins useful, seeing what other coins do is often the motivation they need to take their coin to the next level. |

Using coingateway, this guy just bought these tickets. But with the value about to rise with the release of V2, those were some very expensive tickets lol. But thanks to Joe for making the point and display of how Neos is already able to be used to buy things you need. https://twitter.com/Bitcoin_Joe/status/515482837555093504Are you saying he should not have used Neos and instead used the weaker Bitcoin for the transaction? This begs the question, which coin do you spend the weak coin or the strong coin? |

I used LibrexCoin to buy a video card on coingateway. You can use LibrexCoin pretty much where btc is used because they have associations with 4 main coinpayment apps like coin payments.net and others. You can even buy a sub at Subway with LibrexCoins.  Thanks for the information, it is the critical info that I am looking for. What was it that most persuaded you to do business with that site -- the site reputation, the coinprocessor, or something else? Yes, I use NXT to buy tokens on NXT Asset Exchange, does that qualify?
sure, technically. But the fact is you really didn't want the token, you wanted what the token could get you. So the token was the currency for the real deal not NXT CC. thanks for participating though Anyway, most things are cheaper and easier to buy with fiat now, crypto currencies don't have many unique use cases yet. [re: the part in red], yes, that's what makes it a currency, but when you use it as 'a store of value' it isn't used as a currency instead it is used as a commodity -- hoping it goes up in value. If you are involved with this forum, or in the CC biz, for any length of time you get the distinct impression that the overwhelming majority of coins are not created to be a currency, but rather to be commodities, which is why the major push is to get the coin to exchange market, not the grocery market. Once a currency is used more at stores than at exchanges the value of the coin at the exchange will skyrocket -- utility is the major move. |

Just used Digitalcoin (DGC) to buy some hot sauces and honey last week.
yeah, like that, I saw the hot sauces guy, he's the one with that whole big crypto exchange rate chart right? what was it about him, his product, service or whatever that made you feel comfortable to do the deal? and why'd you pick that currency to do the deal with? did you weigh options or what? Yes, I use NXT to buy tokens on NXT Asset Exchange, does that qualify?
sure, technically. But the fact is you really didn't want the token, you wanted what the token could get you. So the token was the currency for the real deal not NXT CC. thanks for participating though ouch, sorry about that considering you did that 'years' ago, you are a truly seasoned CC vet |

Yeah I use Litecoin too. Bitcoin is more pervasive so it's a little easier to use. But I'm seeing Litecoin more and more out in the wild. When I get a chance I use it over Bitcoin as the transactions are faster. I buy stuff online and the whole 1 hour for confirmations is a pain. Yes I know that shops can confirm much faster but not too many do so I'm stuck. What is worse is when I have to get by purchase in to get an overnight delivery. I've missed the shipping window a few times. That is mostly my fault ordering last minute but hey I'd like to see you remember your anniversary. LOL.
All the other coins are not there yet. NXT, Ripple may have market cap on par with Litecoin but I have never seen them anywhere so why bother with them. 2 years ago I was all about Bitcoin but I've been slowly becoming a Litecoin user.
TheMage, anderl, and TaylorSwift what's a good site to go to to shop with cryptocurrency? |

everyday someone is either introducing a new alt coin or a new way to trade alt coins, but i'm wondering how many alt coin owner use their coins to actually buy thing outside of the crypto currency realm?
Have you ever shopped at a crypto stores (there are over 500)?
Have you figured out a way to use your favorite coin to pay your utility bill?
How can we maximize our resources?

Report To The Community
Volunteers
We are very pleased to announce the addition of our very first volunteer -- dan_and_shan. He will be working on the youtube sponsorship initiative, trying to find a science related youtube channel that can be sponsored by EMC2.
There is a great need for volunteers, we have many projects, and many assignments in each project. Would you kindly provide a few hours of your time each week? The more volunteers we have the faster we will accomplish our goals
Our major responsibilities are: the security for coin trying to protect against PND; finding income resources for the financial obligations that arise for coin care, finding contractors to maintenance the coin; finding science projects to fund; producing marketing and promotion projects for the coin; managing any mining concerns; and supervision of volunteers. Here is a list of responsibilities that are important but secondary to the ones previously mentioned: finding places to spend EMC2; requesting media attention for all worthy events; providing ongoing outreach to schools for project and sponsorship opportunities; writing, proofreading, and editing for articles, correspondence, and reports; conducting campaigns for voting issues, crowdfunding, or social-push matters; notifications to The Guardians; lots of research on various subjects, and finding different entertainment vehicles to involve EMC2 -- get EMC2 mentioned in multiple media including TV, radio, and film. We NEED volunteers.
We have a REAL need for some volunteers, but we want many volunteers so that we can add more value to EMC2. All of you who have invested in EMC2 please donate a few hours of your time a week, we're not asking for much, you know that.
Good & Bad News
The Good News is, thanks to the generosity of Praxiscat (administrator emerita), and Sashorx (CTO of TitanBIT.net), plus 70K EMC2 from promotions budget the Poloniex Giveaway was a SUCCESS!
The Bad News is we tested the new EMC2 wallet gifted to the community by Ryan, here is the two-party review:
First Reviewer
Block explorer: lacks information, don't know why but it's not very useful. You can get info on the block number (height, hash, merkle, nNonce, nBits, Timestamps, difficulty, Hashrate) or a txid (txid, value out, fees, outputs and inputs) both ouptuts and inputs return fail. I think it's not worth it to have one like the one included in the v2.0. If we had one we should have a complete one.
Social: it link to the irc channel, lack finition. It looks like is was put together fast and no one took the time to check if it was ok. Not really worth it.
Beside the looks, the V2.0 is not really worth it, as i see it. Can we build on it later to get something better? i think so. Right now we better stay with the v1.0 and when we have time, look for someone to build a better one.
... When i say "not worth it", it means that, giving it to the community won't shows that we are serious since the addition aren't working properly.
Second Reviewer
The wallet is more visually appealing but the block explorer doesn't work. I suspect this is something Ryan didn't get to finish as when he revealed it in the forums he did say at the time it was only something he was "working on" and didn't claim at any stage that it was due for release. Also, if we are going to look at a new wallet we should perhaps look at basing it on bitcoin-qt version 9 which supports multisig functionality unlike the current wallets which are based on version 8.

My offer is 150 satoshi, is it worth that much to you?
BobSurplus, here is your offer on my table of options: U) spend 150 sat for 1 million EMC2 with your evil alias (Crypto Gekko), which may take hours to complete, A) spend an avg of 82 sat (including fee) at Mintpal for 1 million EMC2, which could be done in a single trade, B) spend an avg of 79 sat (including fee) at Cryptsy for 1 million EMC2, which could be done in a single trade, C) spend an avg of 115 sat (including fee) at Poloniex for 1 million EMC2, which could be done in a single trade, D) spend an avg of 60 sat over 3 hours to gather 1 million EMC2 avg fee .20% over all three public exchanges Logical choice is 'A' if I'm lazy, or 'D' if I'm cheap, either way I get 1 million EMC2; clearly the worst option is 'U'. Again, if I were dealing with the old Bobsurplus, the one who respected the coin I would go as high as 75 sat, but that Bobsurplus is apparently 'dead', perhaps 'never coming back', we shall see. Bob you used to be one of the good guys, wtf happened to you dude. The lead dev of EMC2 doesn't feel the coin is worth 150 satoshi for 1 million coins. Red flag. Bobsurplus aka CryptoGekko read the valuation reports to know exactly what the EMC2 mgmt team feels the coin is worth. Anyone buying any amount of EMC2 for 150 sat today is likely misinformed, anyone offering such a deal is only seeking a fool for a trading partner. The "red flag" you see is there to protect the community from knee-jerk trading with unscrupulous traitors. |
