Yes little man, it CAN bi replicated. And whoever does it, will get similar and, depending on whom, much better immediate reaction.

Not every coin though has a selling point, VRC, in my view, had one -only one-. It would be absurdly more successful with better coins, such as PINK, but the community there wants things for free and I am not ready to work for free. Others could try it but I am not participating in any at the moment. Perhaps in the future, but not now.

Whether I repeat it or not, you are going to have ample examples of your many shortcomings, before, eventually, you find some light. Starting with the number of new wallets after the 30th... although, of course, that alone will not convince you of anything. Good luck and sign 'em up!

Xoshic, like I have told you before, while your action is very nice, it has no repercussion whatsoever, in and of itself. You are doing the little that you can in Palookaville. That's why the market is in singles again, as will the day before and the day after your event. Sorry, but you need to come down to reality. Direly.

Please remind me when have I promised to "disappear". Your wishful thinking choir boy is playing with your mind.

FOOD FOR THOUGH (additional):

A coin no one takes seriously and that has no transparent/honest (let alone "qualified" ones) developers, RDD is valued at roughly DOUBLE what VRC is.

But who wants to think, uh?

I know what did NOT caused the rebound, regardless what you and others may think. AND, like I anticipated, I know what is taken it down to singles again.

The weekend was typical, not for VRC though (no other coin rebounded 100%). Other similar coins did not get the same "message" as they usually do.

But I have no interest, in the least, in convincing anyone. If you are not already, you never will, so what's the point?

By the same token, if you are not already convinced Vericoin is going in all the WRONG directions, nothing will and you'll be holding through to the end.

To each his own.

Because they all want to be one of the ones that is 3000% up in their original bet (they will call it "investment") and they desperately want some excuse to justify the bet.

The dev is nameles/faceless (and busy with other matters, to boot), the thread is censored (you won't see this post for much longer, you'll see), and you need to ask? What you need is to run as fast as you can, that's what you need!

So you will be the keeper of the freedom and the judge of the abuse?

Sorry, it has never flown in history and will never fly in Crypto.

When you suppress freedom, there's ONLY ONE REASON for it: You have something to hide. And we will all see very soon how this axiom becaomes, once again, a reality. Hopefully you will not have skimmed too many naive people by then.

Coming from a very stupid and rabid fanboy, it is to be expected that you would include Blackcoin in the list, the most corrupted coin ever, the biggets scam ever carried out in alt cryptos and, currently at 10% the price it once had, inexorably bound to the elephant cemetery where it belongs... in spite of having the most amazingly gorgeous logo design anyone have ever seen.

It is true, though -even though you did not point this out- that the Vericoin trio seem to technically follow the Russian rat in his technical designs, which is simply amazing... then again, they are trying to copy PINK's name-linked-t-wallet-address feature so they must be spending most of their spare time going through the different souces and channels to see what others are doing rather than them actually doing anything.

Now, since the obviously more qualified of the trio cannot seem to get the multipool working properly after months at it, what else could they be trying, right?

AND MONDAY ARRIVED...

And with it the disappointment I guaranteed early on Friday. Uh, no announcement/s? Remember Patrick promised you not just one single "secret weapon" announcement, but several... he emphasized the plural... Anyway, now that we know there's a third party involved, we all can figure out that it won't be anything beyond one more link to an outside page so, once again, when the announcement (singular this time) arrives, further disappointment in guaranteed.

I said on Friday that I would have ready the content of the pamphlet I wanted to distribute on August 30th, World Vericoin Day. I ALSO said that for it to happen I would need to see a lot more enthusiasm and support from both the community and the dev team... well, I have only this to say after holding for both: If you guys don't care, why would I?

I just found out that some of the "most active members of the community" had some sort of hang out with the devs to "assemble a great marketing team". Wow. Who would those luminaries be? People that design first grader graphics in Illustrator? Oh and with people that keep on posting this is "a great coin" or "the best coin" but cannot even begin to describe why on either case... And somehow all of them need of a "solid plan" requiring months of preparation and loads of resources... to do... ah, well, nothing? well, maybe sign your e-mail now with a Vericoin graphic?

When I left on Friday I said that I would let the market speak, It has. Eloquently. When I submitted the WVD proposal, the coin rebounded from 8 to almost a double. The market was speaking loud and clear, but you guys didn't listen. Nor do now when  it has taken it to singles again, NOT just because the announcement/s hadn't happen... everyone knows it will be singular and it will be a poof, but because the certainty of WVD NOT happening, has sunk in.

No, it WILL NOT happen. I won't launch it... The content of the flier is ready, because I wanted to do it and I expected a huge support, but given the circumstances, it is completely out of place. Plus it is way edgier than any here will be willing to divulge, I think. You guys are kind of comfy with the status quo and your kiss ass stanza to this dev team that has proven so many times now incapable of delivering anything of substance. So be it. To each his own.

To me, this is a small disappointment, because I know it could have flown high, but like I have stated many times, the only assets of this project are the community and the dev team. The community only supports it now by staking their coins, and that's not enough by the longest shot, as we have repeatedly been proven lately; the dev team has come so short of expectation since launch that we are left with only the honest/transparent card to play with. It could have been enough for another big lease of life, but the enthusiastic support of both community and devs was a sine qua non requirement. Once again, both failed, miserably, on both counts.

So no deal.

And since an eventful weekend just started, I will let the market do the talking.

Back on Monday.

i get what you want to do, I get that you wish to create some buzz and previously you HAD my support. keyword HAD. Somehow the past couple of Long posts from you pretty much pushed my limit to a point where i read it then it became a blur..  

I went back and read it again..

words of advice.

- Do not assume anything about me any other active users here. For the past few weeks, myself included we have done plenty to help this coin as much as we could. Yes we know there is work to be done.

- Where did I ever say Yes I would prefer some PR firm to take over this ?? would they help..sure somewhat. How ? they have reach, they can write up a nice paper, they can send out to mass publications, events * like your idea etc. Would that help sure...somewhat. At some point down the line eventually if we are to grow we will need more exposure.

- You keep hammering, this is crypto, yes I am aware of that. At the end of the day crypto is finance. Which is something i am familiar with as well. In order for potential investors to get involved they must see value in this. ie How can I benefit from this, how can this improve my life or my family, is it safe, practical etc...etc.

Now to market that, you will need awareness, patience, guidance to educate the public whom btw all they know is Bitcoin is some hacker thing that they MAY have heard about. Try this I said that you previously. Ask a total random person in the street hey do you know what Bitcoin is.


Best of luck

I would implore you, and the others that have "done plenty", to please, please, pretty please, stop those endeavors immediately! And for good. Those efforts have produced a downward spiral that has cost 3/4 of the value of Vericoin and, if the current initiatives wouldn't have started, very probably we would be trading right now in hundreds rather than in 5 digits. So if all you and the others can muster is sinking the boat, once again, please, pelase, please stop, ok?

Word of advise to you, as a supporter of VRC: IF WVD doesn't happen, we will return to the downward spiral very, veri soon. Again. Even if you and the others stop the "plenty" you have been doing.

It is not very wise to brag about being doing "plenty" when the harvest of that "plenty" is the absolute doom of the project. NOT a selling point.

And, again, this has a second -and third, and fourth...- iteration. You WILL see it again if nothing SMART is done. And SMART has not been seen in this coin project since the roll back. At least.

Until now. And I have the feeling it is going to pass like it never existed. A very strong feeling.

Concentrate on the points. The rest is garbage. Your garbage.

Is anyone aware that the link in the OP for "Merchants" takes the visitor nowhere (some map site with no discernible map??)

Be or don't. Don't try.

Oh, one more thing, for those that believe somehow the downside of VIA and the anticipation of the hype for the (now again) weekend announcement of the "secret weapons" was moving the price yesterday, to the point of almost a double, what happens now? what is happening? We are even closer to the announcement, via continues selling off and yet the money is NOT coming into VRC, which languishes between 15-20% from the highs of yesterday.

Is it, maybe, the uncertainty about WVD, I wonder?

-- I WILL indeed write the content, as I have said. By Monday.

-- Thank you, finally, for a straight answer: There's no technical difference between Vericoin and any of a number of other coins. It's the devs and the community. I happen to agree with that statement, I have posted it about 20 times already and I was hoping I was missing something and someone would be able to point to me an element of difference that I could use. As it stands, nothing that can be used on that regard. Peculiarly, it was considered FUD by the usual suspects, go figure...

-- Well, I am glad you and people like you -nothing negative, just a reality-, are not the target of these pamphlets. This is just something they can take with them IF they are interested to go beyond the impact, for lack of a better word, of seeing a few guys/girls in VRC t-shirts talking about digital currencies and A specific currency. If they are not interested they will indeed throw it away REGARDLESS, whether it is a couche paper two-side beauty of furniture store of the latest sale of Toyotas at the local dealers.

-- I still cannot find  anywhere your scenario in which this could be a "dud". But even if I am missing it, how could this be a "dud" when the alternative is NOTHING? Is it better -you seem to imply- to do nothing at all (oh well, plan and talk, talk, talk and never do until there's a "solid plan")? And what would be your idea of a solid plan? What, presenting it here, for all to see and chime in, in very specifics, is not appropriate? Is it better somehow to exchange PMs ad infinitum, just between you a me? How's that? Sorry, I disagree. Let me make this clear enough for you and the rest: There's no downside to WVD on  the 30th. None. Either it is a day for the ages (and history) or just an anecdote, a side show. But, either way, it will be positive for Vericoin. Big time. I don't know what your personal expectations may be, but that's the reality of it: Either continue having NOTHING or actually do SOMETHING whose repercussions you cannot anticipate but that will be positive for sure, because nothing negative can come up of the fact that a number of teams (20-30 idealistically) will be out pounding the pavement of the same amount of the most important cities worldwide. Tell me the potential downside, the "dud" part.

I'm sure you would prefer the "conventional" approach, where VRC pays a PR firm $30-35k for sending a couple of Press releases to technical publications. Blackcoin already did that... to become the laughing stock of crypto because of it. You want to talk about "duds", that is the biggest in the history of crypto. Let me tell you this is not a new insurance company nor any other conventional enterprise. This is crypto, something that is not for everyone and that, by definition, defies conventions. In my view, Vericoin should be the most conventional, by far, of all cryptocurrencies, but still quite unconventional when compared to the "real world" endeavors.

So here's what you will see by Monday on the pamphlet, actually an 8.5 by 11.5 sheet of paper with the full logo and name of Vericon, the web address and no more than 5 -probably less- one-liners hoping to motivate the readers to look it up. That's it. I am telling it to you right now so you are not overly disappointed when you see it, be it already.

As for the specifics I have proposed, I already posted them, but here they are again: A group -three minimum- wearing T-shirts with the Vericoin logo, hopefully their faces fully painted with the logo and a bunch of paper wallets and pamphlets, take to the streets and reach the most populated and representative place in their cities. They talk to the people and the give the the literature while one of them takes pictures and shoots video. THAT SIMPLE.
Nothing more and nothing less. The WHOLE community should have been telling their friends and family about Vericoin on this day and making them aware of what is going on worldwide. Idealistically they will have presented those friends and families with paper wallets with some amount of VRC as gifts. It's a community project and to be really successful, it requires the contributions of as many members of the community as possible. To be very successful. To just be successful, it requires nothing but the efforts of those leaders and their friends pounding the streets. OK? Any more details? Yes, they should contact the local press inviting them to the "event". Nothing may come of it. Or something. Something good.

Whether a huge success that catapults Vericoin to new highs in awareness and valuation, or just an anecdote, the website should  have the pictures collected and presented in an spectacular album and the edited videos should be uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo and linked everywhere, twitter (Oh no, Barabbas doesn't have a twitter account (I on the other hand, do). Nor I see that happening any day in the foreseeable future), Facebook, the works... That will be there for the ages regardless or personal appreciation of the level of success achieved. And that is indeed SOMETHING.

As opposed to what we have now... which you seem to prefer.

I have told you before I prefer the public forum to any other form of communication, including PM. This is a community project and not a personal one, therefore the community should be appraised of what's going on in real time. Much more when its support and enthusiasm is a key part of it.

Ok it's beating around the bushes. The devs know about this, I have repeatedly asked for their inputs and, VERY SPECIFICALLY, to answer that one key question, and all I hear from them, you and the community so far is crickets. That is the extent of the reaching out I am willing to do. The idea is outy there, I need help with the pushing. Or it stalls.

But I promised I would give a pamphlet and I sure know what I want written on it. It won't be anything fancy in design, just the very prominent Vericoin logo and the key points I want to hammer down on  those who read it. The main key point is (again), why Vericoin and not BTC or any other alt. Without this, there's no purpose in the whole thing, ok? And this is not difficult, is it? Especially for the devs, it shouldn't. I myself cannot come up with the element that will distinguish, from the common people on the street, Vericoin from any other alto. Oh I can bullshit my way easily, but I just will not lie so if there's not a clear advantage between using Vericoin, Blackcoin, Naut, Pink or any other, then we will have to lie by omission, which I will not do either. So I will make the point of admitting that and run with the honesty card instead. But if there's any technical advantage that I am not seeing, I'd really pound that as a selling point sure.

The pamphlet, with or without help, will be ready by Monday. And like the idea, will be made available for everyone to use it or not, change it or not. And it will be just one side for people to print in black and white. Circumstances being what they are, it will be a guerrilla type event done on a shoestring budget.
It will be great if people is willing to work and do it. So far, I hear only crickets and see only crickets. As of Monday, with the delivery of the pamphlet, Barabbas says bye bye to the project for good unless I see a lot of enthusiasm from the community, commitment by the leaders and support by the dev team.

And I mean A LOT!

Generally, I agree. But aren't you forgetting that the main purpose is not just to promote digital currencies, but actually promote Vericoin?

I disagree. Wholeheartedly. On every point made, bar none.

I am though, still waiting for your help with the content of the pamphlet and, more precisely, the question of why Vericoin will be "better" (more convenient, whatever...) for anyone than BTC or any other coin. I am asking for it, again, with extreme respect and trying to be not just tactful, nimble as a butterfly while inviting everyone else, especially the dev team, to contribute input. And giving thanks in advance to boot.

I was just paraphrasing on an Anthony Hopkins quote, actually. But I do sound "princely" some times, I do...

Uh, answering your new rant, I could, potentially, "serve" 10 coins, or more, at the same time since I am not employed by any of them. You may be still hazy because I posted clearly I made a proposal to PINK to work for money; I retired it shortly thereafter.
