1.) First I want to thank everyone who supported Blackout Wednesday! Our press release was read over 100,000 times on over 111 sites: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22BlackCoin%20Popularity%20%26%20Value%20Soars%20Due%20to%20Revolutionary%22

2.) As everyone here might already know BlackCoin is being added to CoinKite! They have a debit card that can be branded and used at their shops. SoepKip notified me a few days ago about the news and a decision was made I will not longer produce a separate Visa card. We do not want to cause confusion in the marketplace, and we also do not want to incite unnecessary competition amongst ourselves. Instead, I have decided to support the CoinKite project and use my resources in helping that partnership grow.

3.) As I previously announced I will be using my own resources to quickly build a network and infrastructure around BlackCoin. I wholeheartedly disagree this coin or community should take baby steps. We need more talented people who are willing to help in any way they can to help this community grow.

4.) Finally... Today I would like to announce the BlackCoin Card Wallet. As some of you know I am software and product developer, and since CoinKite will eventually supply our debit cards, I wanted to shift focus and  create something special for the community. I contacted rat4 and Soepkip about a portable BC wallet the size of a credit card. The dev team liked the idea so I began immediately making it happen.

So what exactly is the Blackcoin Card Wallet?

The BlackCoin Card Wallet is a completely branded BC card with a pull out USB dongle. It will be loaded with a custom BlackCoin start menu and the wallet pre loaded. When you insert the wallet into your computer the menu will automatically launch, and you will have access to your wallet, current market prices, BC news, and other elements all in one place! What makes this exciting is you will not only be able to keep your wallet with you at all times, in the event you need to access your funds you will be able to do it at any Windows computer. The blockchain and all other data will already be loaded on the card. (Obviously if you do not plug the card in regularly it will take longer for it to sync). Also, the launcher will automatically update the wallet to the current version automatically.

Another benefit of the card is you can pre-load as many coins as you like and give the cards away to family and friends as "gift cards". They will not need to be tech savvy to use it! Just insert and go! This is a great way to introduce others to BlackCoin.

And lets be honest, wouldn't it be cool to walk around with a BlackCoin wallet card with the sexy logo?

Tomorrow for "Blackfriday" I will be posting pics and taking pre-orders. I am taking pre-orders because this is the first run of the product and I have no clue how much demand there will be. I do not want to under manufacture or over manufacture since there is considerable cost involved. Production time is approximately 2 weeks and I will be shipping immediately upon receipt of the product. The card will cost $19.99 (BC of course) and that includes free shipping worldwide. So if you live on a private island I will still ship it to you for free :-). The first batch created will be also branded with "Special Edition" and other cool goodies I do not want to mention just yet. Some of the proceeds from each sale will go to the dev team and back into this community to fund other projects. A website is currently being developed for the card and once we are live I will be doing a promotional campaign promoting BC and the card!!!

coinkite is easily the biggest thing to hit blackcoin. Realize that NO OTHER ALTS are even being considered. Blackcoin is now considered a top tier coin. Its time to stop messing around people, blackcoin revolution is starting. https://www.coinkite.com/faq/alts

If you want to help, start sharing the links and posting comments. Get them trending, we are all part of the process of getting BlackCoin out there.

If you want to sit back and do nothing and just rake in the profits, then you may as well also be quiet too and not knock others for doing things that you cannot (or will not)!

DON'T KNOCK SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING - Putting in TIME and EFFORT that you are NOT doing.

ACTION - a little bit from EVERYONE! Share the links, tweet the links.

Exposure doesn't come for free or without effort.

Right, off to work BlackCoin Supporters!

So, I'll ask again maybe this time someone can answer... how many hrs after starting to mine will the first BC show up in my wallet? I mined yesterday for a few hours and have about 1mil valid shares (says so on the pool dashboard) but I haven't received anything? And hearing about people getting low payouts, I obviously only wanted to mine for a bunch of hours to get a first idea of my payout rate, plus my reject shares were incredibly high (I asked 2 times about "low difficulty error" but noone bothered).

i think right now its about 1-2bc per gh i could be wrong because i was messing around with cgminer and got sidetracked and forgot to start it up until about 3pm..with 7.5gh/s i got payed 6 bc for like 10 hours of work maybe?!?

ill know better tomorrow...asic running strong

I wouldnt recommend Cryptorush exchange.

Theyve been hacked recently.

First off people DO NOT USE CRYPTO RUSH. Seriously they are liars and they are insolvent. They lied to everyone for 2 weeks about having low BTC and LTC reserves due to being hacked. now they claim they are going to be under new ownership and tey new owners are just going to refund everyone the 800 BTC however many LTC and 1.2 mill BC that were lost on the exchange. Who in their right mind would do that? That's enough money to open a half dozen exchanges. Sounds fishy to me. Yet the old owners are still in IRC and talk like they are running the site.. Oh and however many Zeit they lost. Their site is extremely insecure and if you use them you risk losing your money. I have .4 BTC which is a lot for me that is likely lost now with them. Be warned of them..

And I have unlocked my account with the auto lock unlock email. And then tried to  PW reset and still nothing. I don't care if you trust them or not. This is completely unacceptable behavior and could be purposefully ignored for many reasons. I don't and never will trust them again even if I do get my coins out. Which I'm not banking on happening at this point.
