hi guys, if I have 1000 CGB and mint for 30 days, I should get 1000*1.2%/12=1CGB as interest, is my calculation right?

Actually it's 1.5%, so it would equal 1,25 CGB for the rest the calculation is correct. It's a scarce crypto Smiley
are you sure?? I thought only 90 days would get the max 1.5%, 30days is only 1.2%.

Also one more question, would this "walletpassphrase 'my wallet passphrase' 99999" only unlock the wallet for the minting purpose, for the

security side, my wallet is still locked and safe, is that right?

Hi Elambert, I would suggest you to post the intrusction for the minting on the first page of this thread. I do noted that you have answer this

question in this thread, but it is just too diffcult to find it.

You must add the word 'true' on the end for minting purposes only.

walletpassphrase 'my wallet passphrase' 99999 true

Without the word true your wallet will be completely unlocked.

Use 'true' if just unlocking for POS.



Thanks Killiz, do I need to keep my wallet running nonstop for 30 days in order to get the pos reward? Or I just need to open the wallet every 30 days to unlock the client?

You only need to unlock it for minting after 30 days, 90 days for max interest.

Shouldn't take long at all until you start mining proof of stake blocks.

Once you have gained your interest type in walletlock to lock it back up.

Does it have to bei exactly 30 days ? What If I unlock it on 34 ?


30 days or over. Not sure if percentage of interest rises gradually each day from 1.2% - 1.5% but I once unlocked after about 45 days and  seemed to receive considerably more interest on the same amount of stake from a previous 30 day unlocking.

Maybe elambert or merc can clarify this.

Edit: you don't need to keep your client running non stop, just run it every 30-90 days and unlock for minting.

1 million to rule them all Grin

Hey Team. As promised here is my outline....

wow you are definiatly spot on with your outline! i will try to let it pass a few times this weekend and see what i have to say.

for now i only wanted to drop in to say i have registered a domain for the paper wallet and atm im busy implementing a proper ssl certificate without any browser issues. also forked the paper wallet code and in the next days when i have spare time i'm gonna adopt this for cgb. in my search for a paper wallet i found two versions. one noob proof and the other one based on bitaddress.org. the last one i want to adopt in a later stage as the advanced version but my first goal is to get the noob proof running with basic graphics. also nice to see the paper wallet graphic, top notch!! thanks for doing this papersheepdog.

ps the noob proof version is based on https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/bitcoinpaperwallet/generate-wallet.html and there willbe an offline version to.

Great work x0rcist! Also the design on reddit looks awesome whoever did it.


FYI, unlocking your wallet every 90 days will assure you of earning max PoS interest (1.5% annually). 30 days will get you 1.2% annually.
Hi,
 So I finally got around to doing the stake minting, but it failed to accept my pass-phrase which was verified as the correct phrase. I followed the prior instructions, again, and again. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Then last week I noticed I was using the prior Qt wallet, not the newest one.

1. Was that the problem possibly - the Qt wallet was not the newest one???

2. Or was I just not doing something correctly instead???  

I am a bit baffled.

3. Lastly, can we simply not stake mint for several months or longer, and still get our stakes eventually, and
    will they be just as large as the "every 90 days" stake minting percentage returns??? Or More??? Or less???

4.  Or is the every 90 days minting the most Optimum point to get maximized returns???

     I ask this because of course it was pointed out that every 30 days is less than optimum, so I can only
    wonder if I did minting only once a year it would also be less than Optimum??? Or Not??
...

Let me see if I can help here, I hope I address all of your questions. You can always reach out to the team via the website support https://cryptogenicbullion.org as well.

- You should download the new client from the website mentioned above
- The old client will still work for your interest earnings, so that was not your issue
- Unlocking your wallet every 30 days will get you 1.2% interest per year, every 90 days 1.5% interest
- 90 days is the max weight so waiting > 90 days will still earn you the interest accrued over the 90 days (1 year would equal 90 days as an example)
- I will get with the dev team regarding your Armory request

Command for unlocking you wallet to collect interest (remember to do this every 30 days at the minimum and every 90 days as the maximum - every 90 days is the ideal for max interest) - NOTE: Do not type the < > symbols.

PC:
walletpassphrase <passphrase> 999999

Mac:
walletpassphrase <"passphrase"> 999999

Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback and advice - good stuff! I am going to send you a CGB for the input Smiley Please provide you addy

Would just like to add to elamberts post.

I'm on windows and when I first tried to unlock for minting I kept getting an error.

The problem was I used a pass-phrase with spaces between the words.

Here is an example of how not to do it if you use a phrase with spaces:


walletpassphrase my wallet passphrase 99999


Error: Error parsing JSON:passphrase

Eventually I realized I needed to put it in like this.

walletpassphrase 'my wallet passphrase' 99999

Was nice to see that stubborn little catch flip open on the lock on my client.

Hope this helps if this is the case.

 Thank You! This worked. I will confirm below what did end up working for myself.

 This Last tip unlocked my wallet for minting.

=====================================================


Step 1. Open your CGB Qt Wallet Client

Step 2. Let the wallet update and fully sync up to date.

Step 3. After sync is complete then click HELP/DEBUG WINDOW/CONSOLE tab

Step 4. enter the correct command as shown by example below into the bottom
           of the Debug window where the input box is, after the correct input phrase
           then click ENTER on your keyboard. The inputted command you just typed
           will then display on the screen in the Debug Window. Wait until minting as
           expected is completed. That may, or may not take a little while.
          
Notes:  You can close up the Debug window to monitor the Minting Progress in the
           Overview/main screen while you wait. A popup window will announce any
           received minted coins.

Note:    Note your beginning CGB balance so if you miss the popup receive notice
           you'll instantly realize they came. Or check the Transactions window/tab to
           check if the minted coins arrived if you didn't note the beginning balance.

 Note: Simply close the Qt Client to end the minting session and to re-lock the wallet.



 To confirm exactly what to input:

 if one's pass-phrase is for example = password123  

then this is exactly what I inputted below to make minting begin.

 This is exactly correct command phrase, per example format:


for example one's password = password123
enter exactly what's below this line, on the next line, note the spaces too:


walletpassphrase 'password123' 99999


 Just don't forget the quotes around your pass-phrase, they may, or may not be required. First try with the quotes, and if that doesn't work then try without the quotes wrapped around one's correct 'passphrase'.

 This unlocked the CGB Qt Wallet for my own minting purposes. It's extremely easy to do once one does it once. Then I left it open until the minting is done, note the balance before beginning in case one misses the popup message indicating newly minted cgb coins have been received.

the  '   ' wrapped around the password123 was what was needed here, without the '   '  it simply didn't work no matter what else I tried before. But apparently for some Windows PC's that's not the case.

 So at least some windows PC's will need those quotes rapped around the persons 'passphrase' to unlock the wallet for minting purposes. Seems odd some Windows PC's need that, and some don't, but at least that is solved.

 That's really easy once one knows exactly how to do it, and I will assume that soon it will be refined even more.

 Just realize that if one mined those CGB that the first minting session will result in minting that trickles in over a while, in small drips and drabs per say (that's my own situation, and it's trickling in a little at a time, with one transaction after another, for myself starting about 10 or so minutes after starting the minting routine).


 
 Thanks Again for that last tip, it was golden,

RE:

 Eventually I realized I needed to put it in like this.

walletpassphrase 'my wallet passphrase' 99999


Best Regards

Glad you got it sorted  Wink

Hey Team. As promised here is my outline for what I believe is needed to take this coin to the next level (and then the next). I have carefully constructed the points for mass appeal but certainly welcome ANY criticism. Please take some time to chew on this and get some discussion going. I will be checking back often but must let you all know that I have to keep my own life in balance. Cheers!!!

Cryptogenic Bullion (CGB)

Open Source Community Development and Marketing Strategy


This document contains a collaborative framework for the community development and marketing strategy of the Cryptogenic Bullion cryptocurrency. It is intended to be updated by any member of the CGB community who has a new idea or believes they can refine an existing one. The document is open to the public because it serves as a document of logic and open debate. I believe that releasing the strategy itself might provide other deserving cryptos with some guidance to take their logical place in the ecosystem. This document contains the CGB strengths, misconceptions about CGB, viral marketing concepts, community development and highlighted communities.

This document will be posted (not yet) at http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptogenicBullion and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=245086.new#new. Anyone who wishes to discuss any part or offer updates can reply to either post. I will try to keep the post up to date. Please understand that I am an independent community advocate like yourself. I am only a small piece of the bigger picture and each must take their own initiative in order for this campaign to succeed.

Cryptogenic Bullion Strengths

Proof of Stake Eco-Security: Cryptogenic Bullion is a second generation cryptocurrency employing an advanced hybrid of legacy Proof of Work mining and Proof of Stake minting to secure the blockchain. This multi-pronged approach makes the "51% attack" a thing of the past. Not only would an attacker have to control half of the CPU power on the CGB network, but they would also have to own half of all of the currency supply of CGB in order to attempt a "double-spend" attack. Although Proof of Stake can be used alone to protect the netowork, the legacy Proof of Work aspect of CGB remains as an additional security layer.

The power consumption of CGB will remain far lower than any other legacy Proof of Work cryptocurrency as most of the reward for securing the network is provided through Proof of Stake minting which can be completed quickly on a smart phone, instead of a supercomputer cluster.

Interest Bearing (1.5%): A major benefit of Proof of Stake minting is that you can pay yourself 1.5% interest on savings, without the need for a bank to take its cut. Compared to legacy Proof of Work systems which reward only those with mining equipment, the benefit is made directly to the people who maintain a savings of Cryptogenic Bullion. A Proof of Work mining incentive of 0.5% brings the yearly production of CGB to 2.0%; a rate modeled after the supply of gold.

Inflationary Stage Completed (rare): In order to distribute coins to the widest population base, cryptographic currencies rely on a mining protocol called Proof of Work. This puts new coins into the hands of those with mining equipment like a gaming PC, or a cutting edge server. It gives everyone a fair chance to adopt and spread the currency, but creates the volatility and downward price pressure seen in so many other cryptocurrencies. Cryptogenic Bullion is the only second generation cryptocurrency to have completed this inflationary stage due to its accelerated reward halving. Without this relentless dumping of new coins that almost all other cryptocurrrencies are now struggling against, Cryptogenic Bullion is ready to meet its market potential.

Active Developers and Community: The development team has proven itself to be publicly accountable to the CGB community and has built a reputation for dependability, transparency, and forward thinking. With this foundation, the CGB community is able to focus on extensive advertising and promotional efforts which have drawn in a diverse collection of individuals to the merits of Cryptogenic Bullion. With a social media focus we have been actively engaging many different markets through the use of, among other media, our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cryptogenic-Bullion/134177020124803), which has over 15,000 likes and CGB's twitter feed (https://twitter.com/CryptogenicBull) with a current following of over 400 individuals.

Misconceptions about Cryptogenic Bullion

Fast Mining/Inflation Stage: One common misconception about Cryptogenic Bullion is that its shorter mining/inflation stage has not given a wide enough range of individuals the chance to participate as early adopters. We must appreciate that this deployment method was chosen to avoid the long period of inflation which increases the volatility and stagnates most other cryptocurrencies in use today. The CGB community has been very active making every effort to get the word out about CGB and make it available on multiple exchanges. What is not realized is that CGB is still in the early adoption phase but instead of mining coins, the low price is what now enables early adopters to participate in this opportunity. CGB is only just now beginning to realize its potential to the discerning investor.

Community Development

In addition to helping to spread the word, there are other tasks which need to be undertaken in order to support the growth of our community. Any suggestions about areas of development are welcome.


Viral Marketing Concepts

Got Crypto?: I believe that this phrase has the power to turn Cryptogenic Bullion's slightly awkward name into an advantage. Not only is it a professional name appealing to the investment community, but it can be called 'Crypto' for short. No other coin can logically take this title with more credit than Cryptogenic Bullion.

CGB Vault: This viral concept involves locating high quality vault images and replacing the circular entrance with a translucent CGB logo. This can then include a slogan and or CGB Strengths.

Highlighted Communities

It's important to remember that every community we wish to interact with has its own unique perspective and strategies for contact. We know that any community is made up of members who belong to many other groups and communities; there is a lot of overlap. Our message needs to be as clear as possible and some of the best insights will come from these people. The purpose of this section is to enable these and all other CGB supporters to learn about and understand the most effective ways to communicate with the highlighted community. As this document is updated we should try to build a full picture of each community including:

  • Where they can be found
  • General level of understanding
  • Interaction Notes
  • Opportunities
  • Common Misconceptions

5a. TBD. All suggestions are welcome. This will be my next focus.


papersheepdog you are a godsend!

Such enthusiasm wow  Cheesy

We are entering the final and most anticipated stage of CB's life cycle, the investor stage. The miners have had their fun, and took their profit. Now their party is coming to an end. Like you have highlighted the inflationary period is over and it is now up to the smart investor to realise the potential of CB.

Once the Investor gets involved and takes the price to a more realistic level, the mining will again become more profitable and we can all party together  Smiley

This thread has been swamped in this forum over the last few months by the relentless bombardment of [ANN] and [GIVEAWAY] threads of new shit, pump, dump, fuck off to the next coin bullshit threads.

We need to carry on with what you have been doing on reddit and keep jumping into the communities of popular, high trade volume, good for the gullible shitcoins, and promote to them something that really has a solid future, background and support, Cryptogenic Bullion.

Really like the work that has been happening this week, and it's nice to take a lung full of the fresh air that's been brought in!!!

Hi,
 So I finally got around to doing the stake minting, but it failed to accept my passphase which was verified as the correct phrase. I followed the prior instructions, again, and again. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Then last week I noticed I was using the prior Qt wallet, not the newest one.

1. Was that the problem possibly - the Qt wallet was not the newest one???

2. Or was I just not doing something correctly instead???  

I am a bit baffled.

3. Lastly, can we simply not stake mint for several months or longer, and still get our stakes eventually, and
    will they be just as large as the "every 90 days" stake minting percentage returns??? Or More??? Or less???

4.  Or is the every 90 days minting the most Optimum point to get maximized returns???

     I ask this because of course it was pointed out that every 30 days is less than optimum, so I can only
    wonder if I did minting only once a year it would also be less than Optimum??? Or Not???

SO:
===

  The instructions for stake minting given were easy enough for myself to follow, yet slightly confusing as to exactly what to precisely input.

 I tried all the various possibilities given the instructions laid out, to get the client to accept my password and other data needing to be imputed, all to get the stake minting engaged, as instructed here prior, but the input typed always rejected my pass-phrase, even though I verified my pass-phrase was absolutely correct.

 So I am Still baffled, but haven't yet tried it with the newest Qt wallet client so again, so maybe that was the issue???

-------------------------
Please reply & advise!
-------------------------

 Maybe clarifying those prior instructions again here below, with an exact example phrase to type into the Qt Client would greatly help not only myself, but others too. Surely if I am having troubles so to will others, because many of us are not so bright as to figure these technical things like this ourselves, sad, but true, lol.

Please Note:
--------------
 Lastly, I didn't care at all for the plain text passphrase sitting there in the client after it was typed. Maybe something can be done to blank out or ****************** out the passphrase while typed, so that at least no screenshot Trojans could possibly grab that text when typed, or while sitting there in plain text.

 Still, that doesn't solve the key-logger Trojans issue, and why I dedicate a laptop solely for only my Wallet-Qt clients, and absolutely nothing else but supporting those Qt Wallets. That PC is used for absolutely nothing else at all.  

 Also seriously consider testing any new Qt-wallets from lesser known Crypto's in a Virtual Machine. Consider
the easy to use https://www.virtualbox.org/ there for the taking.

 Lastly: It only takes one malicious Qt from any crypto type to ruin one's portfolio. Beware. So far most of us have been lucky. That might not last.

 I have been burned last summer by a Mega download of another Alt. coin Qt wallet Client, and right then gotten a severe infection at the same point in time which just as soon as downloaded also fully disabled password protected Kaspersy Internet Security of all things!!!

 Lucky for me that was on my mining rig which I also never used for anything but mining until that fateful moment way back last summer. It was a bit lucky and strange how it happened on a PC that didn't matter if it was harmed.

 A time consuming full hard drive wipe, and saved backup image got me back up relatively quickly, if not painlessly, but still it was something to learn from!  Simply put I will NEVER use Mega download site ever again. Their policies stink (forcing crap onto our PC's that we know nothing about merely to utilize them. That crap doesn't occur on https google drive, at all, not ever. I don't care for google per say either, but at least their not injecting my PC's with any code, much less malicious code, or worse.

 So for everyone's security: Be safe, and segregate your Wallets by dedicating a PC to them if at all possible, and don't use that PC for anything else what so ever, if at all possible, and without exception.

 Also seriously consider getting/setting up an ALWAYS OFFLINE PC for your btc signing offline.


 I also request the same ability for CGB too (Offline wallet sig signing), so that we can sign our transactions OFFLINE, and then transfer them to an Online PC wallet client by way of a flash drive transfer, so that there is hardly any chance of losing cgb coins to any trojan wallet viruses. Something such as or like Amory would be a fantastic addition for CGB.

 Sadly I am not a developer or I would help out there. Still, to get thought of as a most serious investment by many we need to get something either like Amory and Trazer hardware wallet for CGB, asap. And they both need to be made to be dummy proof, redundant, and quick, and needless to say extremely secure.

 This is a race to the marketplace in 2014. We're all burning daylight. This is a real race, like it or not, and it's winners take all, or so it suddenly seems.

 The first ones into the mainstream marketplace are likely going to be the ones to take the lions share of the marketplace. It just usually (but not always) works out that way.

And others that come later tend to need to offer much more to get much headway, and otherwise their simply hardly ever widely adopted.

 So far it's merely Bitcoin taking the mainstream marketplace by storm.

 The next few or more Crypto types may also get widely accepted too, but nothing is assured, and we all have to earn CGB's way into the mainstream marketplace.

 After those first into the marketplace it's anyone's guess if any more, or how many more, might be able to work their way into the marketplace. 2014 is all about Marketing.

 From here out it's how well this is packaged, and how well it's pushed and forced into the mainstream.

 I will do what I can myself, and I will always support CGB, and around 15 other crypto's including Bitcoin.

 But I am not certain if there is room for 16 Crypto's in the global marketplace.

 It's anyone's guess how many dozens will be acceptable to the masses.

 And after all, it's up to them, not any of us, who and what gets accepted. I wildly guess 16 will be accepted.


 As for my questions above: Thanks for the help, ahead of time.

Best Regards,

Here's a 1st draft mock-up of a Cryptogenic Bullion card concept that I've been working on.

These cards are being designed as collectable 'add-on' packs or gift sets linked to FiniteByDesign's CGB hologram cards and will be available in Sterling Silver, 9ct Gold, 18ct Gold and Platinum. Each laminated card will house just over 1 gram of each metal - frozen as cryptogenic bullion.  Grin






Those look awesome! Good work BitcoinFX

I've followed the concept of cryptocurrencies for a couple of years, however I'm new to actually owning them.

CGB ticked all the correct boxes for what I was looking for. A progressive development team that is in for the long haul. A relatively small coin issue size, and a well thought out concept. The recent price dip that has been faced by all the cryptocurrencies was a good time to stock up and let me slowly get 1,000+ CGB. This is a coin to buy and store.

I live in Japan, so the one difficulty I had in collecting CGB was to get the initial bitcoin to exchange for CGB. There are all kinds of rules about international money transfers here so I used Virwox exchange to upload USD via Paypal to my Virwox account, then changed those dollars to Linden Second life dollars on Virwox, then changed Linden second life dollars to Bitcoin. Withdrew bitcoin to my computer. Sent Bitcoin to Cryptsy account. Exchanged Bitcoin into CGB. Withdrew CGB to my computer, and then backed up the wallet into a cloud drive and USB thumb drive. Phew ... but worth it.

We are still only in the early stages of Bitcoin going mainstream so as Bitcoins become easier to purchase for people all over the world, more people will also discover and invest in CGB.

Wow  Shocked all that just to get hold of some Bullion! Your tiresome efforts will be greatly rewarded  Grin

I fear that might spell the beginning to my demise. Just look at my sig. Smiley

Also, should there have been something sent there since I said what I love about CGB back here?

Sorry, I am a little behind in the giveaway, was home with a sick baby today. Will send ASAP.

Whiskey and CGB, ah, the finer things Smiley

Hope it's not serious! I have a 2 year old and it can be quite worrying when he is ill. Can be quite annoying too, him running round screaming like a possessed bottle of glue with a missing lid.

How many people have 1000 CGB?

It's been my target since I started mining, it seems like quite a few people have the same target, would be nice to see who is a member of the 1k CGB club! I'm almost half way there, target is to be there by the end of Feb!

Friend of mine has 5-6K, from when we mined it in Aug or so.

Great to hear he/she kept hold of them  Smiley

During and soon after the gold rush many miners went broke, exchanging their gold for dollars and spending it in the saloons and whorehouses within the growing towns strategically built around the gold mines.
Many a miner grew into old age totally broke, bitter and twisted. Left haunted by his memories of when he had it all, only to squander it on cheap thrills, good times and whisky.

The saloons and the whorehouses did very well selling overpriced temptations to the miners. The miners didn't do so well, only the very few who kept their gold and saved it.
Someone, persuade a Whisky shop to accept CGB!

Haha good idea!!

I have about 4 different addresses on my client, and one main and 3 others. The others have small chunks of CGB. How can I move it all to just one address? Just send all my CGB to the one address? Would that work?

anyone?

Yea just create a new receiving address using your client and send your CGB to it

Or send your small chunks to your main address with the most CB in it

Just bought 500 for my first investment in CGB.  I want to have 1K coins, but it's very tough to buy without spiking the price.  It will probably take me another couple of days of trading.  

Good stuff Jake! I think you will be very pleased with your investment in the future  Grin

A very wise invesment and a friendly welcome aboard the CB train! The CB train just got back in from a round trip on its maiden voyage, but I think you've maybe just bought your ticket in the departure lounge of its second and most adventurous voyage, at budget price!
Sit back, relax, make yourself at home and enjoy the ride. The CB team will be happy to help with all your needs and questions along the journey.

ALL ABOARD.....CHOOO CHOOO

1k CGB is a good target, 0.1%.
Wish I had 0.1% of BTC  Cry




Thanks.  I closed out today with 556 CGB.  Only 444 left to hit my target.   Actually I may need some help.  The funny thing is I'm not really new to coins, but I'm not very technically savvy.  I've always kept my coins on exchanges.  Do I have to keep my CGB in my own wallet to get the interest?



Yes keep them in your own wallet to gain interest.

Download one of these depending on your operating system https://cryptogenicbullion.org/#download

Once you have installed your client/wallet the first thing you need to do is encrypt it.

Choose an unforgettable phrase or password (write it down and put it somewhere safe if you think you may forget it).
Click on settings/encrypt wallet in your client, and enter the password or phrase you have chosen to encrypt your wallet.

Your wallet is now encrypted and you will need to use your password to unlock your wallet to gain interest or to send/spend CGB.

(If you forget or lose your password your CGB will be lost forever!!!!)

...


To gain interest funds need to be left untouched in your wallet for 30 days or over up to a maximum of 90 days.

When your CGB have been in your wallet for 30 days or more you need to unlock your wallet to mint  POS (proof of stake) blocks.

To do this the easiest way is to open up your client and click on,  Help / debug window / console.

In the box at the bottom type in (walletpassphrase 'thepasswordyouhavechosen' 99999 true)

This will unlock your wallet for minting purposes only.  i.e. to gain your interest on your stake (POS) The more CGB you hold the more interest you will accumulate.

Once you have minted stake you can type in walletlock to lock your wallet back up to keep it safe from malignant entities.

Shouldn't it be "I don't always sell fiat money ... but when I do it's for CGB"?

Is there a plan for 2014 for CGB?

Over the last few weeks it has plummeted in value, which is great for buying more (which I'm doing), just not so great if it keeps going down to zero!

I know MadeSparq is still being worked on but there's not been any real updates on it for a while, is there anything in the immediate pipeline? or at least a timeline of some sort so we know when to expect updates?

It would just be good to have some fairly regular updates to keep the interest strong and the value & hash rates strong.

Cheers.

Yes, it is a great time for buying more  Grin.

I have total faith in CB, the superb Dev team behind it, and what they are doing for CB behind the scenes.
Everything that has been announced in the past has been announced when it is 100% ready to go. None of this we are going to do this, that, and the other, just to keep the price up, or to keep the interest of the larger alt community.
Anyone with an interest in CB as a crypto-commodity and not a quick pump/dump/profit/abandon alt-coin understands this, and they will be rewarded with holding a premiere crypto with a solid future.

Its easy to gamble on the newest coin of the week. Indeed you may get lucky, but it is way too easy to lose that gamble.
CB is not a gamble, it is an investment. Investments take time to mature.

The infrastructure around CB is being built, and this takes time.
 
From the start CB has been put forward as a long term investment.......'lock it away in cold storage and let it gain value'.

With all these pump and dump coins coming out every day it is easy to get distracted, as I myself have done in the past. You dump a coin to buy another which you think is going to make you a quick fortune, only to see that coin plummet in value, and the one you dumped take off.

CB needs to be treated as an investment as it is intended to be. Only buy CB with funds you can live without over the longer term. Keep an amount of play/gambling funds for the coins of the week, and never gamble or invest with money you need to live on.

Remember tis the year of the Bull, no Bull, Bullieve it...or Bullieve it not!!

this coin seemed dead with old team. well see how it goes now.

I don't know how anyone can think this coin seems dead.  This thread has more new posts everyday than most other coins around here.  CGB trading volume is over $20,000 per day.  MADESparq is is active development and a new client was just released.    

This coin is established, not a new fad pump and dump coin like the wave of new crapcoins.  It is rare unlike the billions and trillions on other coins.

This coin has a great potential. The price is low today, a perfect time to buy.
