I actually trade the coins every night or every two nights. I am not making any profit off the donations. However, one member specifically asked me not to trade his donation in until a few days before the event. I respected his wishes

Let me get this straight, people donate money to you for a campaign and you GAMBLE it?

I dont think thats appropriate behaviour under ANY circumstance.

Thats borderline Fraud and your credibility totally out of the window.

This time you threw yourself under the bus.

I understand there might be a language barrier so I will try again. I trade the coins every night or two into fiat. I trade the coins it into dollars since I can't pay for the services in BlackCoin. I have no clue if the price is going to go up or down, so I have to convert the coins every few days.

That's why we shouldn't donate in BC


Just kidding Grin


A lot of people donate in BTC but the problem still remains the same. I have to convert whatever currency into dollars. I do not sell the BC all at once because I do not want create sell pressure. I sell a little at a time.

Alrighty, so with the blackcoin address > http://explorer.blackcoin.co/address/BQQsUdYaqCGUDhdXPADto1gKwvEA2a92TP

We have over 58k blackcoin sent to the cause~ great!

Now checking the bitcoin address > http://blockexplorer.com/address/12jhNVMj5kk7akem2wxDwnpQvGdro3NzJ4

So there is over 22 btc sent for the cause!

So, that is, (give or take a few btc away, since IE sold every once in a while for BC) around 38 btc.. Calculating that in today's price

Using Bitstamp price that's = $16,682 USD

So, that's over $12,000 USD, which means we have a camera crew and the wallstreet stuff a-go ?

I hope this is true, since.. what else would the funds be used as?

Good job guys! Smiley

Awesome job, IconicExpert Smiley

Can't wait for the event to happen~!

Hey

Im currently building an exchange only for Blackcoin / Fiat. No other crap coins. It's not entirely an exchange since there will be no sell/buy orders. Only instant trades, no accounts that hold coins, so no security problems. Payments will be done via Mistercash, iDEAL, Paypal and several other instant payment options. The trade platform will only be made exclusively for Blackcoin. I will also be working on an merchant API next to the exchange.

Basicly its much like Bitonic.nl - but then for Blackcoin only.

I need some help though. First of all. A name. I was thinking about Blacksafe myself, but could be different aswell. If you got some idea's. Throw them at me!

Next, im all open for new ideas. For an example: should it be a member only trade platform, or something different? Maybe something cool would be if the members of the platform get a free Blackcoincard. Not sure.. just some idea's.. anyone else got some idea's? Let me know! I want this exchange to be UNIQUE and EXCLUSIVE.


Alright here goes,

Instead of the egocentrical butthurt hand-waving ME ME ME ME i would really like to see Wizfarms jump into the Blackcoinpool again Smiley

No need to wave...me...me...me to get attention when the major crypto media outlets are contacting me to do interviews about a coin I didn't develop, and about a project I am not officially a part of..

Two Articles in one week and both were centered on my efforts....so no need to grab the spotlight in a forum....

BlackCoin Cards sales are up more than 50% and this is just the beginning.


http://www.coindesk.com/things-alt-ponzi-schemes-blackcoin-usbs-time-warp-attack

http://cointelegraph.com/post/blackcoin_s_smooth_and_sexy_nyc_charm_offensive#.U2Ryq_ldV0w

So please by all means have a laugh or two at my expense...


Wow, the nerve of some people...

Btw 3 minutes of googling led me to this --

Your so called genius magical blackcoin cards are really just this:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/cheap-usb-business-card_1547591954.html?s=p
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Customzied-usb-business-card-full-printing_545775999.html?s=p

They cost about 1-3 dollars to make, and the company will even print the logo on for you (HOW ABOUT THAT!)

Oh and you even managed to steal Wizfarms graphic, and purposefully leave on the RFID chip PRINTED graphic (this has caused so much confusion in people think this card is actually worth something-- the only reason people are writing about this garbage is because they think you have a fucking debit card which you don't, you so clearly don't.. you tried but failed and decided to make a useless usb wallet.)

In fact, I will release a package you can put on a USB stick and turn ANY OLD THUMBDRIVE in to a BLACKCOIN CARD (WOW) It doesn't take much.

Your "BC PROMOTIONS" have been nothing but selfish stunts to promote ONLY YOUR OWN VENTURES. You have so far managed to talk about ONLY YOUR OWN PRODUCT AND NOTHING ELSE.

People like you are a cancer, you are so shady, you talk about transparency, but you won't fucking identify or show your face??
Why do you log on to IRC with indian IP addresses -- the same IP address that is shared across multiple user in the IRC rooms (shills much?)

16:14 IconicExpert has joined (b497d3fe@gateway/web/freenode/ip.180.151.211.254)
16:14 IconicExpert has left IRC (Client Quit)
16:17 BiTMiND: iconicexpert and papkol sharing ip
16:17 BiTMiND: (from india)

Feel free to WHOIS the IP to prove it for yourselves.

You've done nothing but lie, manipulate and try to hoard the spotlight, all the while taking away from the people who are actually trying to develop something amazing. You have turned something that's supposed to be about the COMMUNITY and EVERYONE and turned it in to your own personal rage pedestal.

All those quotes you made about power slipping away is so deliciously ironic, that you can physically taste it. You willingly misled people about what your card did and how much it cost to manufacture and produce (it was a day of work tops.) The only thing you did was fill out an order with a chinese supplier.

You yammer on about how no one is donating to development, yet I haven't heard a single thing come out of your mouth about putting any modicum of effort or financial power towards development, only for your little ego centric goals which happen to focus around your crappy little card (notice how every event of his he asks for giant sums of money to push his own product, the cards which are just cheap little 2 dollar usb drives from alibaba.)

Please feel free to reply to this with all sorts of bold text, colored red and cute little youtube videos while melting down in front of the whole community.

Hello BlackCoin Community
 
As the BlackCoin Foundation we have worked hard in the past weeks and I am proud to present to the community at large one of our most ambitious fundraising ventures to date. As most of you know, BlackCoin is a phenomenal alternative cryptocurrency with substantial REAL advantages over its competitors. We are a greener, faster, coin that is ready for retail adoption and worldwide use… Only the world doesn't know this... That is hopefully about to change…
 
BlackCoin will be the first CryptoCurrency to hire a legitimate, brick and mortar, Public Relations Firm!
 
For several weeks the BlackCoin Foundation has been engaging PR firms in order to find one with the right technical expertise to help promote BlackCoin through various target media (think wired.com, theverge, wsj, financial times, and social media as well). After much deliberation we have decided on a company and are in the process of finalizing things contractually speaking. We are not going to release the PR firm's name until things are finalized, but they have a great deal of experience and are truly excited to be working with us. You will not be disappointed.
 
BlackCoin is Bitcoin 2.0. But spreading this message comes at significant cost. In order to secure a 90 day PR campaign (with options to retain services month to month after the initial 90 day period) the foundation has already raised over $15,000 USD! This has got the ball rolling, but we need help from the community! To finish paying for this venture we need the community to help raise an additional $15,000 USD.
 
The funds raised by the Foundation have allowed us to get things started, and over the next few days and weeks we will providing more and more information about the strategy, including key messages and timelines. Our strategy meetings will be 100% transparent and we will be updating the community about our every move. In the meantime, we need two things:
 
1.) Come up with suggestions! We have a powerful PR firm to bounce ideas off of and now is the time to brainstorm. What do you think is an important message? What is an important venue? Give us anything and everything you got, but please do your best to list your ideas in a concise and coherent manner.
2.) Please donate to the addresses below! This is a monumental and revolutionary undertaking that could very well shape the cryptocurrency landscape for years to come. Every little bit helps!
 
Linked below is a very high-level and preliminary overview that the PR firm provided to us in our most recent conference call. Some information has been redacted and the formatting has been altered (worsened) due to proprietary images (e.g. anything that could identify the PR Firm).
 
The Plan
 
The cryptocurrency world is having trouble competing with BlackCoin as is… With a capable and professional PR firm on our side, the sky is the limit.
 
Thanks and please donate today!

A few questions.

1. $15,000 is not small change, why not release the name of the firm so members can do their due diligence? Why not be more transparent now?
2. What does the $30,000 cover? Most well known PR firms charge a minimum of $40,000 - $100,000 just to retain their services. It does not cover the expense of ads, commercials, events...etc..etc. That is extra.

+1

I just read the plan and as I pointed out for $30,000 you basically get a custom tailored marketing plan and a few press releases. $30,000 does not cover ads, radio, TV, or events. The firm  will advise you on what you need to be doing.

The reason why I asked my previous questions because PR firms are the worst ROI, especially for a start-up. Any experienced entrepreneur knows never hire a PR firm unless you have millions of dollars to waste, in this case millions of BlackCoins. This is is commonly known fact, but you do not have to take my word for it. Here are links from some of the top business websites confirming what I just wrote:

http://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/8-reasons-you-should-not-hire-a-pr-firm.html

http://www.businessinsider.com/why-startups-shouldnt-hire-pr-firms-2012-1

http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/03/how-to-hire-a-pr-firm-dont-do-it

http://www.fastcompany.com/3028922/why-startups-shouldnt-use-pr-firms-to-pitch-their-business


I just hope that "Blackcoin foundation" is not as "Wolrdcoin foundation" a tragedy, I think  centralize a lot is a serious error in crypto because this is a market designed to be decentralized, some leadership is always welcome.

I think we should focus on finalizing the donations to the project of "Wall Street of ICONIC", because if not we will be left with a lot of projects only on paper, and it will be very frustrating, BELIVE ME .... For to spend 30K I would like to see Blackcoin in news programs, radio and newspapers. I particularly already donated over 18K BC for all kinds of projects here, so before someone criticize me please know that I love this coin, but if and to make a marketing, it must be agrecivo, viral!

"The harder one holds onto power, the quicker it slips away"

In the last two weeks the only time BlackCoin has been seriously written about was:

1. The Wall Street Event: http://cointelegraph.com/post/blackcoin_s_smooth_and_sexy_nyc_charm_offensive
2. The BlackCoin Card: http://www.coindesk.com/things-alt-ponzi-schemes-blackcoin-usbs-time-warp-attack

And all that attention cost me $0

You would think that CoinDesk would write about the multi-pool, or all of the cool stuff the dev team is doing. However, they wrote about the BlackCoin card.

Interesting indeed....

Interesting indeed

Sorry, but me too I have to admit that maybe it's too expensive for now, it's a great idea but each has to go with it's own capacities/capabilities.....and what is going to be worth if we don't have money to execute the plan..Huh

and I'm pretty sure we can find ideas or find someone skilled to do so....

its pretty much the same price as that wall street promotion but instead of 2 hours of talking to random people in the street, this promotion will last 90 days and target the people that will actually be interested in this. they have already raised $15000..seems like a much better deal

Finally someone making sense..

Who ever goes against this Idea clearly has no idea what they are talking about. This plan targets specifically the media outlets that we need.  

Mark Cuban the Multi Billionaire doesn't know what he is talking about? http://www.businessinsider.com/why-startups-shouldnt-hire-pr-firms-2012-1#!Htx93



Can't say I would ever quote Mark Cuban in anything related to business. Mark Cuban is an incredibly lucky guy who sold his .com to one of the stupidest, biggest .com's at the peak of the .com bubble. As much as he thinks he is, he's no Warren Buffett and given the choice of having PR advice from the Ogilvy's of the world or Cuban, I suspect most wise and experienced business-folk would go the way of an Ogilvy.

With that said, I'm absolutely amazed and astounded that you can't step back and see how BlackCoin hiring a PR firm is NOT a good idea.
Look at the facts:
-Will all due respect after watching yesterday's BlackCoinCast the BlackCoin team, for all intents and purposes, is made up of ultra-nerds to the power of 10. Their forte is coding and crypto's.
-BlackCoin does not have the capital to hire and pay the ongoing salaries of a Marketing/PR Director and team. Yes, taking BlackCoin to where it should be requires a team with years of social media experience to wrangle the message of why the ordinary man/woman/child needs BlackCoin.
-There are many marketing plans going every which way here on BitCoinTalk, creating a massive amount of noise which is becoming indecipherable, chaotic and overall causing massive disorganization. Over a month ago when the forum was pushing the one message that BlackCoin would be the first, and only (at that time), crypto with a self-made BC-buying multipool the result was a ridiculous panicky buying spree which luckily resulted in a much higher price plateau than from where it had been before that message spread.
We need that organized one-mindedness again.
-No crypto has ever hired a PR firm before because no other crypto (maybe with the exception of Evan Duffeld with Dark Coin) has had developers who have taken their coin so seriously as these guys. These guys are willing to test the suppose 'crypto boundaries' that exist and they have been rewarded for it so far.

Iconic, if you truly had an ounce of business experience you'd either donate your 'Wall Street meets BlackCoin' to this cause or sell all your holdings out and move on because pretty soon you will be coming off like a troll.

You had me at "#3: Stock-Market Principles Apply to Crypto-Currency, Too".
Seriously though, here on BitCoinTalk you had one guy going one way with a "marketing plan", another going another way with some sort of a plan and a whole bunch of indistinguishable voices clogging up the communication pipes. So what do you do? Hire a PR firm to help organize it all and make it coherent.
F'n Genius move, you guys.
Donation sent.
BC will be on fire in the coming days.

I, for one, will now be posting links to all of the PR's and articles on my LinkedIn. Wall Street will find out what BC is all about pretty damn quick.

i hate when BC stays still for a few days. i get antzy

This should help you with the anxiety...


Facts & Assumptions

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and I will respect any legitimate argument. However, it seems some facts have been forgotten and/or intentionally ignored.

1.) BlackCoin is less than 2 months old.
2.) It has gained 1440% in value since launching.
3.) BlackCoin is traded on over 17 exchanges and counting.
4.) Myself and a few others are working on some groundbreaking services/products that will help increase BlackCoin value.

As I stated above everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you feel BlackCoin doesn't have a future then respectfully you should sell, I will happily keep buying your coins. I support BlackCoin not because of emotion or naive optimism,  I support BlackCoin because of the developers, community, metrics, and it's future potential. Unfortunately many people who currently trade crypto-currrencies do not have much experience in trading, nor do they have a firm understating of crypto-currencies in general. October 1st 2013 Bitcoin was trading at $127.00, and by November 29th 2013 Bitcoin was trading at $1,109. That is a 773.23% gain, compared to BlackCoin 1440% gain.

Lets do some simple math and predictions based on history and conservative estimates. Based on March numbers lets estimate BlackCoin value will grow a steady 360% each month.

April 30: ¢0.12
May 31: $0.43
June 30: $1.54
July 31: $5.54
August 31: $19.94
September 30: $71.78
October 31: $258.40
November 30: $894.24
December 31: $3219.00

Now obviously the growth will not remain steady at 360% each month. Some months it will be more and some month it will be far less. Some months it will remain level.

So those of us who understand how the market works and realize BlackCoin is not just another Alt Coin will be smiling all the way to the Bank by the end of the year, while people who wanted quick cash will be asking themselves "WHYYYYYYYY"?  




Lets see if we can do the next target with the wall street event and we are at $0.43 by May 31. I am quite happy with the price, hell I was saying that $0.05 was a nice target. Why people is so depressed, I don't understand ... if we keep like this we will be at 3k usd by the end of the year Smiley.

Almost dead on prediction on April 30th at 0.12 cents :p

Here's an offer to the community, it's a 'help me help you, help you help me' type of thing:

I pledge to purchase 14 BTC worth of Blackcoins during the next seven days, provided I can raise 10,000 Blackcoins to help me cover expenses for the Blackcoin Music Video I am still working on. That's only about 3.3 BTC-equivalent in donations (as of this writing), and less than I have already spent out of pocket on the project. For anyone new, this is a beautifully produced rap video, featuring known talent, original music, shot and directed in New York on professional equipment, etc. If I get donations but don't quite make it to 10K, no problem, I will buy BC in proportion with the above offer. For example, if I only get 5k BC in donations, I will purchase 7 BTC, etc.

Remember, all donations are going right back into the community in the form of a fucking awesome video. And I'll be adding some price support to the coin, out of my own funds, up to 14 BTC.

Thanks for your consideration. Video Donations: BGvEU7Nyo3mviMtvXXfeYBCoXhmrnMWLfr

**notice the "MTV" in my address?

Quick question, is that a mintpal address or a pc client? Smiley

Interesting, the homepage for http://coinmarketcap.com/ now automatically filters out non-mineable coins, so it excludes BC, unless you click 'View-All'

That's not great!

just noticed this as well, if you press filter premined, coinmarketcap deletes blackcoin completely off... But we're not pre-mined... LOL

Blackcoin is by far the most sophisticated pure PoS experiment out there.

hahahahahaha... right...

I have had good results with hobonickels and mint. HBN has steadily increased in value, mint is still pretty new but hasn't started value growth as yet so far. Blackcoin... I would stay the hell away from. Obvious signs of internal price manipulation by a tight knit group.

Obvious sign of no info on said subject and plain out speculation~
While in the realm of speculation, mint and hobonickels are dead. I would stay the hell away from them even farther than blackcoin

Not sure who these BC senior members are, but I'm sure none of the core dev team or anyone affiliated to the coin as a core member would ever do such a thing.

Unless you prove me wrong...

Btw, there is no such thing as a senior member in this community imo, everyone is equal in their own rights and are valued with their contribution towards positive improvements for blackcoin.

Well, back to promoting blackcoin now Smiley

Plenty of BC guys were over there trolling and someone took over ops of the IRC channel for a while...

Sadly we can't moderate and control what those trolls say or do.. It's free speach and their right to express their views... As per basic instruction about trolls... Don't feed them more attention.

Like what Soepkip said, press that ignore button Smiley
