I understand where you are coming from but SYNC can't do anything about the current problems with VOOT. 

By constantly bringing up this issue you are only harming the SYNC community when it has nothing to do with us.  I too lost Voot but now that MsCollec has gone I have moved on.

The removal of MsCollec was the most that the SYNC team could do. They have done it even though MsCollec had not done anything wrong with respect to this coin. 

They took a very tough decision in order to preserve the integrity of SYNC, the SYNC community and all the members of the team and to show that they did not approve of MsCollec's actions even if they were with a separate coin.

If the VOOT community wants MsCollec to fix their coin then that is between them and MSCollec.

The SYNC community should not be held to ransom in order to get VOOT fixed.  There is absolutely nothing further that they can do.

Now please, only discuss things here that relate directly to SYNC (otherwise it only seems like you are trying to deliberately crash the price of this coin to make yourself feel better).

Yes it shows there is a lot of demand.

Thank you.  You're too kind:)

I refer you to my previous post.  MSCOLLEC is no longer part of the SYNC team.

REGARDING MSCOLLEC:

Just to clear things up : after discussion with the Foundation, he/she decided to step down for the good of the coin.  

This is to prevent people bringing up VOOT to try to derail SYNC and damage the huge potential of this coin.  Whilst I too held VOOT and was angry about what happened that is a matter for discussion in the VOOT thread.  

SYNC is a completely separate entity with a different philosophy and niche.  It has no association with VOOT.

REGARDING PRICES:

People seem to forget that prices fluctuate.  It's not always a straight line progressive rise.  After every big rise it is almost certain that there will be a dip as people try to take profits.  

Those that know how markets work use this to their advantage and sell on the peaks so that they can buy back more in the dips.  This is how I originally got up to several SYNC in the first place.  

I now only have 0.5 as I've been buying other coins to spread risk but will slowly increase my SYNC over time until it is at the same level again.  

I do this for all coins I hold and slowly over time all my coin holdings grow together.

If you can't handle dips in price but TRULY believe in this coin - STOP looking at the exchange prices every day.  

It will only frighten you and lead you into making poor decisions.  

Also diversify your holdings so that you are not fully invested in one single coin.  

- That way you protect yourself against falls in specific coins - so that even if you need to sell suddenly you don't lose the vast majority of the value you invested.

Right.  Have the latest build up and running for a few hours without any issues on my Mac.  Anyone having any problems with it please post.

Well there still seems to be no social media activity, tweets etc.  I'm just curious as to what the new social media member of the team is actually doing?  Even if there is no news about Britcoin there should be regular tweets relating to British culture, technology news, cryptocurrency adoption and so on as this can help to bring people in from a wider social group than those who already know about cryptos.   It also helps to give the impression that Britcoin is still active.

Check what block you are on with what the block explorer shows.  Currently 9023.

In your wallet menu:
Click HELP>Debug Window>Information and it should say "Current Number of Blocks" (under BLOCK CHAIN)

Has anyone tried the new mac wallet yet? 

I have managed to successfully synchronise, transfer my SYNC to it and so far no problems.  It is using ~0.1% CPU on my 2013 IMAC (CORE I7) now. During synchronisation it was between 1-3% usage (one would expect it to be higher then). 

I'll report back after I've run it for a while and it starts staking. 

Please add on your experiences especially if they are on different types/ages of Macs as it should make it easier to narrow down any problems.

I don't own this coin but a simple look at the OP confirms that the IPO was 500,000 and this corresponds to the 500,000 coins mined in the first block which is the normal convention.

THIS IS THEREFORE UNWARRANTED FUD.  

No scam has been revealed (yet).  If the poster of the allegations had read the original post then they could have figured this out just as I have.

Guys there is a new build of the wallet (mac) for testing/solving people's issues.  Please be aware that this is a test build so install at your own risk until it is confirmed to work OK.

Obviously:) but most people also like to believe that they are good and morally upright (Superman rather than Lex Luther). A more neutral name still looks better and plays better.  I think something along the lines of "High Roller" sounds better.  Whale makes me think of people like Woolong (you might want his money but you don't want to be like him or behave like him, even if you would in reality be the same).

I think you need 7 SYNC staking for that.   - The whale program ? (should probably change the name - whale has bad connotations in crypto- even "SYNC Superstar or High Roller" sounds better).

A bigger piece of the pie like with any coin.  A potential for it to grow immensely in value.  I think that is enough for most people:)

Right now what looks really shady is the fact that there are multiple sell orders on Bittrex when it is an ICO and buyer wallets are disabled.  Who is selling it at different prices and why?  They are listed the way morons list ridiculous prices (1BTC each) etc. to try and raise the price.  This should certainly not be happening for an ICO where the developer team are the only ones selling.

I don't think anyone here believes any of you are going to dump the premine.  The problem is premines have such negative connotations at present that it scares new people away.

I've tried but nothing actually happens when trying to run it though Terminal.  It just seems to be busy for about 30 seconds and goes back to a command prompt.  If someone could do a mac compile using the Mono developer software that would be awesome.

Good point.  If you don't like to wait for the blockchain to update would be the only reason I can think of.

There really needs to be someone to do the social media side of things full time because that is the most important part of marketing these days.

Might also be useful to have an option to turn off staking for low powered/old computers that have issues.  I think the cryptographic part staking might be computationally difficult for older non-optimized and single core CPUs.
