This PC tech whitepaper is the best I have seen in cryptoworld. I am surprised the price did not jump +200% for such a good work. As far as I heard from people hanging out in Polo, these are the only sticky points that people are thinking about before investing in PC:
1. "Too many coins in supply. 380M is a lot in cryptoworld nowadays" - Supply reduction can be a great boost to this coin if possible.
2. "No more color coins for me" - Once all core work has been done, rebranding of this coin can take it to places.
What's in fashion in the cryptoworld changes from day to day and week to week, imho no reason to alter Pinkcoin's makeup if it's only to chase the current hot trend.
You build a solid base, exactly like what is being done with PINK, soon ppl will find it and invest in it's future success.
Agreed.
Thanks bitcoin_newbie for bringing this to the sunlight.
1. - Nr. of coins is irrelevant data, only marketcap matters
2. - Humpfh? Pink is not a color it is a religion
From my point of view, people (traders) very often don't base their (investment) decisions on a relevant causes and going through a lot of struggle in order to cater their irrelevant needs is not an easy decision to make for the team behind the coin when there is a lot of other work to do. Both points that you observed on Polo are (un)fortunately not anything that people should really care about.
I know it is all about perception and attraction and therefore marketing and when no-matter-how-stupid aspect seriously bothers people you should address that.
But because these 2 points are irrelevant from technical perspective, these are better to be addressed by marketing techniques (simply communication) than by hard forking the coin to reduce.
And Pink is too awesome to be rebranded.
BTW, just an idea and not even that innovative - how about leaving the 'coin' part from the name? Seems to be unnecessary and Pink alone has the right sound. Moreover, the fact that Pink ends with k and coin starts with c doesn't make these two words really the best couple for connection - in spoken language resulting in something like pincoin.
Just saying.
Stay Pink!
I think the Pink devs have done a fabulous job so far, but you make a valid point about there being a need for the proper marketing of
Pink. There's a reason why companies spend ridiculous amounts of money on it. It would be a HUGE asset if someone with marketing experience would join the PinkArmy and give the PR aspect a boost.

Got it! It could actually be a Pinkoin! Hmm, just brainstorming and keeping it Pink.

Don't take me too seriously.
Replying to yourself? lol..
I like PINK
drop the coin, we all know its a coin. Like Quark, we all know what it is.
We need a new contest. One that is done using a real world scenario. Lets say we are prosecutors going after a couple of criminals who are illegally importing guns from one country to another. We have two addresses, a sending and receiving. Coins have been changing hands for illegal purposes and to lock these guys up we need to show that to the courts. The challenge would be to find money changing hands between the two addresses on the blockchain.
Maybe the tying the contest to criminal activity isn't such a good thing

Does anyone have any input they would like to give regarding the contest?
I also couldn't agree more with there being the need for a proper "test" of the anon. The original contest was more like a "special giveaway", since there wasn't any connection made between the sending and receiving wallets. A true "test" would be one where the winner would have to discover and post such a connection. Instead of using a "criminal" as an example, the sender could be a philanthropist that wishes to make an anonymous donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Now let's say for this scenario that someone else on behalf of the NBCF wanted to acknowledge and award this donator in some special way. The question is, can there be a connection made between the two wallet addresses? So, once again, the contest should be to discover and post such a connection.
