and can we leave the threats of physical violence outside please?

All of you, tone it down and in fact just stop.

IE has made his position clear. Thats someting he can deal with, as for the rest, remember, this thread is about BlackCoin and business, not a monkey poop flinging contest.

If it goes too far the delete button gets used.

Our liquidity needs to be significantly more before GoCoin would join. We need to focus on building infrastructure, app and services for now to build in value. As that value increases we become a far more attractive proposition for not just GoCoin but many others.

Adding features is aprt of the overall plan as are the many other things that make a coin a robust offering.

BlackCoin has a bundle of features alongside the businesses springing up using it. The move to get any digital currency adopted is a long road, one we are well travelled down now. Pushing ahead, meeting and working with investors and industry and the community to make the whole BlackCoin 'business' a successful one.

We ARE on the radar, this we know, this means the work must continue to get us to a point where the conversation goes from us asking "When can we?" to them saying "We would like to work with you now!"

http://www.coinsumm.it/ theres this one I'd like to hook into
have a look

wel we also have CoinSummit http://www.coinsumm.it/ coming up which is one I could/would like to attend. £540GBP s no small beans. Total package inc travel is about 1.64 BTC or 6000 BLK and as its just a train journey, the travel is a short commute each day. Your verdict?
 
So, thats an easy one to add to the list and get get done

as for Russia and Israel.... do we have people there? I know that the guys from Spondoolies tech hold BLK and they're Israeli as we had a real good chat at Bitcoin2014 in Amsterdam. I'm happy to go to this one for Business Development opportunities

as for Hong Kong, I'll get Gritt to cost it up so we can see if its possible to send him to one that side of the world.

Remember, this is something I advise anyone of you to do. Go to local Bitcoin meetups, clubs, group, seminars and conferences that may be near you. They're great places to meet other digital currency advocates and inspirational when it comes to ideas!

throwing ideas out there, looking for feedback

I'd like to add my support to these guys going to the conference. If the Community would like to support them then that would be great! We have already shown that having "skin in the game" as it were by turning up to these events across the world has a direct and positive impact on our image and the way were looked upon by our peers in the industry.

To date, the effects have been immensely positive and BlackCoin is being talked about and held (!) by Bitcoiners all over the world. Face to face interactions, shaking peoples hands and looking them in the eye is an unbeatable method of networking.

Ultimately though, its up to you guys. I hope you support Soepkip and the guys, especially considering all the marvellous work they have done so far and continue to do!
So, over to you...

Thats good news the Wall Street Journal!

Not every day you see an Alt Digital Currency out there like that!

And as we see, there's more good news about BlackCoin being put on Chinese exchanges. This improves liquidity. Another piece of the Digital Currency Puzzle and all part of the gerater fabric of BlackCoin adoption and penetration into key markets.

I've heard a lot of noise lately about "development" and to be honest, a good point was ruined by the delivery and manner in which it was managed. It's always disappointing when a team goes off the reservation and believes it has the only answers for the problems at hand and at the same time excluding all the other good work being done across the spectrum by the Community. Whats more, it harms the very investors that are allegedly being protected? Ironic I must say. Anyway, enough of that as its a distraction from the wider goal and recent news.

Remember, success is a sequence of steps. We are taking bold steps every day. Some online, and many in real life.

Is there a Bitcoin conference near you soon? Can you go? Can you get an invite/ticket? If fo ...go! Get out there and mingle. Boots on the ground in good old fashioned meet and greet. Go talk to the people that are trying to make a difference either in your community/town/region/state/country. To make ANY digital currency a success we need people to get away from the screen and take this out there!

Viz

I completely agree and have already signed up for a Xapo card myself! We will be talking to these guys ASAP. Done!

This also reinforces my comments about getting out there and representing BlackCoin in the wider world at conferences and seminars. These are the things that spread the word in the real world and not just through the internet. CoinSummit is coming up and we aim to have at least one person there representing BlackCoin in a business capacity. To get people like Xapo to take us on board we need things like liquidity and structure, all of which are being built in as we speak Work to do! Buy BlackCoin, sell BlackCoin! Increase the value by getting people on board.

Coinkite adoption is just one step on our path to success. We have made a lot about Coinkite and rightly so. It's unique in its class at this time, it's a familar device for merchants to use and the ROI can be as fast or as slow as the merchant wants by virtue of setting their own fees. There are however, more devices coming online through this year and we have been building a close relationship with some of them. These guys, XBTerminal.com, are ones to watch out for and I'm looking forward to receiving some in the middle of this year. Another part of the adoption puzzle and greater fabric of use we are trying to encourage. But thats just hardware! All the time these things happen, software is racing along and we're not idle there either. But thats for another time.

So networking, talking to your local buiness community leaders and getting their help to spread the word about Digital Currency to their members, building businesses that exploit the benefits of digital payments, these are all things that make the value of a coin. Trading makes for some intersting profit line, but true value lies in what you can do with it in the real world as well as the virtual one. We aim to make BlackCoin a leader in the digital currency space.

We are in the process of finalising the memberships. Hot on the heels of that we will be publishing what we plan to do with funds raised. Providing grants to projects is most certainly one of the primary uses of funds raised by memberships.

There's much to do and as we speak there are requests for more people, plans coming together and a more detailed plan of how we will be progressing.

We have been fortunate to have a number of skilled and patient people working in the background putting things together (all for free remember). As these things do come together we will be sharing more and more with you and looking towards the Community for more help in guiding the way we deliver help, funding and resources to the wider BlackCoin Community. Please remember, it's a small team doing a lot of things including their day jobs/college/managing families. We plan to grow the team and will be using our structure of membership to assist us in our growth, for now though, we work hard to get the Foundation in a postion to be useful and as a centre point for resources.

There are exciting times ahead for BlackCoin and as has been seen, its resilience is just one of its core strengths. The fact we are talked about in high financial circles should comfort people when realising this is the start of a bigger process, one where BlackCoin reinforces itself a serious unit of value and is used not just on exchanges to trade but in the High Street as payment. It's exactly that kind of transaction that will make BlackCoin a success.

The Foundation needs a Treasurer.... if there are people out there that feel they have the skills and would like to apply please do to support@blkfoundation.org. You must have previous financial experience and be prepared to be a visible face of BlackCoin, that means a certain level of disclosure and transparency required.

OK Cool thanks, I hadnt seen it.

And yes, the cards are very shiny Saw one in London. I haven't opened mine Wanted it in Mint condition, ya never know, might become a collectors edition one day! lol

something about large TV screens in prime location was mentioned.....

A fair question that does now require an answer as IE is now back selling his wares.

I take no sides and may have missed the update, so please, if this has been answered, just remind me of the answer

Viz

On the Wall ST. event. I did actually talk to someone in London that was disappointed it didn't happen but it did inspire him to come up with another idea, one to use in the City of London.

We are have long since past the point where we need to pay to be on an exchange.

One of our core components these days is value. BlackCoin is becoming increasingly known in many circles from the obvious crypto communities to the offices and board rooms of major financial institutions. This is fact.

We are developing and beginning to deliver services where that inherent value will appreciate. Those who chose to take BlackCoin on board will reap the rewards. Those who make the process of accquiring BlackCoin, converting into Bitcoin and most importantly FIAT will gain huge ground.

As they say... Always bet on Black.

Thank you gentlemen for explaining so neatly.

The Foundation is working on a number of things but please do remember we are not doing everything!

Much is being done by the Community, connect with them and see what you can do to make a difference.

Well worth the read!

Are you planning to make any with the official "B" on? They would lend themselves to being gold plated too.
