keccak: I certainly hope so  . Will probably wait till near the IPO date, still giving it some thought . I noticed there's no #heavycoin on Freenode and have registered the channel first . |

I don't cry all day, I joke about it actually. Getting into crypto is a risk in itself . All good we just have a difference in beliefs . Anyway, good news, my BTC came in after about 22 hours. Bad thing is my GLC is still stuck there. Don't think I'll ever use Coins-E again once all my coins are out of them. |

tonyca: Same situation as you, just that mine is GLC instead of Doge. My coin has a null tx id as well.  Support has not replied me, two emails and more than 3 days now. |

Dude stop acting all "noble". If you care as much as you said you did, place it as the first line of your signature. I've been more vocal about Coins-E in the IRC channels and on Twitter than you have, placing it as a signature that is partially covered because it's large and on the third. Oh, you also fail to mention that your Coins-E "warning" is a referral link to Bter instead of linking to this thread which would have been a lot more beneficial. I too, see which category you stand in . |

There're other ways to spread the message such as using Twitter, IRC, etc. I don't believe the signature was effective because I didn't see it  . Chill a little . |

It's a joke of an exchange.
They didn't allow me to withdrawal my GLC for whatever maintenance that they are doing, and then I traded some of it to BTC and submitted for withdrawal, and now I'm getting the null transaction nonsense.
It's a sad exchange, really. Once I get my coins (if ever) out of Coins-E I'm never using it again. They don't respond to Twitter or to the Support either.

This is discouraging, the OP didn't ask any of you to contribute to the IPO, if you didn't agree with the idea of the coin just don't invest in it. Not sure why everyone's blasting the owner for no real reason other than the crazy need to do so. I don't see a huge issue with premine either, a developer should be paid for his work.
Again, if you don't agree just don't invest, no one here owes you anything. Yeah someone sending 20BTC sounds weird, but I've seen people with so much BTC that it's not such a big deal anymore.

Having a VTC/USD exchange would be the best thing to do IMO. It will allow the public to buy VTC without first buying BTC, thus removing the fear/distrust of BTC in the process. It'll also allow people like me who are not mining fast enough to get more VTC easily . I've happily engaged people on mining, some of them get it and some don't, never hurts to try . I don't think it makes sense to explain cryptocurrency to anyone without talking about mining. Where do the coins come from then? I've frequently used the concept of actual (gold/silver) mining to explain it and get a eureka moment. I'm pretty sure you just made it a easier for me to explain to others how mining works, I can't believe I haven't though of that example  Nice ! Glad to be of help here haha. I guess it helps that I've some small investments in silver and gold as well so I can draw the analogy from there. |

Just giving a shoutout to http://vtc.crypto-pool.fr/. It's a good stable pool that's small at the moment but I've had consistent payouts and it hasn't gone down on me before . And it's small (I know, repeating), so it helps to spread the hashrate. |

Yes, yes it did sir! +2 VTC to you! Wow wasn't expecting that, thanks Hardwyre ! |

Is it just me or are all the pools down? |

In my opinion the early adopters of VTC (or any technology/product, really) are the people who see the merits when no one else does. If it ends up being another pump and dump coin, too bad. But if you personally believe in it's technical aspects, then you just got to hold and ride the wave. You may end up wrong but getting into crypto by itself is a risk that you (should) have decided to take. I remember a friend talking to me about BTC when it was around USD100 and I thought it was the dumbest thing I've heard . I don't think Dogecoin had any sort of plan. It was a meme coin, people happened to fell in love with it, had a momentum, and the marketing/etc. plans came after it had a huge following, not the other way round. There're many other coins with good plans and they too have not succeeded. Sometimes the plans look too good to be true, and people dismiss them as scam coins, etc. I think VTC is perfectly positioned the way it is right now, we just need to focus on educating the masses with the right messaging on the website, forums, etc. Other than that, too much Marketing will make your coin look like a joke, and I'm not for the mascot idea at all. Just saying because a lot of us (including myself) get lost in the illusion that X coin is not succeeding because X coin lacks Marketing, public support, etc. etc. when we are honestly just firing blanks. I think ctrlzed said it perfectly, this is not a rational market. For me, when the irrationality clears, what remains is the technical aspect of a coin, and the community behind it, both of which I believe VTC has. And I love the idea of talking to friends about VTC |

I think real value in DigiByte will appear if instead of seeking out merchants, they create their own resources to use DigiByte in.
Examples of this would be creating an eSports Betting site, where individuals could bet on big eSports competitions in Online Video Games (Dota 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, Starcraft 2 etc). They would bet with DigiBytes.
Another would be creating their own marketplace. A site similar to Amazon, where merchants could sign up, post their goods and the whole thing would be exchanged in DigiBytes.
Just some ideas, I have plenty more if the devs are interested.
if you know how to use the tools you might use it becouse we trust in Digibyte sooner or later we'll improve this coin even more, i myself made my fate becouse i'm a miner since 2009 when BTC was first released but the idea behind it was uncomensurable to the closed mind! that's what make a good business man... FATE! I have to disagree, we are not bound by our own fate, you make your own choices in life. In the spiritual sense, if you believe in that, maybe it could all be pre-determined, but we'll never know. We just have the tools we were given in life, our mind and body - the capability to be self conscious and perceive a reality. What makes a good business man is seizing the right opportunities at the right time. Timing and decision making. Edit: and No I do not possess the ability to program websites as the ones I described, only design them. If someone that knows how to program wants to create these with me for DigiByte then I'm all for it. Until then, I will just leave it as an idea for the Devs to sponge up. I'm pretty sure martins meant faith... |

@jballs: Thanks ! Here you go (+1 more just for fun) On a more serious note, while I truly do believe VTC's merits, my experience has taught me that it's usually better to focus on your merits than on someone else's flaws. This meme thing is fun but if we want VTC to grow IMO the best way would be to talk about its benefits, and not so much about BitCoin's flaws. Just my two cents. Well we aren't bashing bitcoin. I love bitcoin. I own a shred even. I am nonplussed by their handling of Mt Gox at the moment as there is no excuse for what they have done beyond total ignorance of hoe financial markets function (or don't). But we will be entangled and dependent on bitcoin for the foreseeable future regardless, I want them to thrive. The point of the hashtag is to force a side by side comparison. This as I said can bring a dialogue as to the merits of each (bitcoin is currently way stronger in several areas obviously), but it will entirely cement Vertcoin as being not like any of the altcoins. That is the meta message. We have two classes of coin, the clone circus and the contenders. VTC is a contender and we want that clear. Whether it can beat bitcoin or stand toe to toe is up to the market to decide. But I want both to do well. I even want doge to find a happy place with the tweens trading pokemon cards at /b/ But alright hashtag is entirely optional and in fact we (I) can stamp it in later if it suits the venue. Appreciate your thoughts. I see your point . I'm leaving the hashtag in! Yeah VTC is a strong contender, I'm this "" close to removing/exchanging all my other cryptos into VTC. |
