Ok. found the chatbox.

I would like the block reward to stay the same, I think its unfair to change it now, though I think the difficulty readjustment should be cut down to 4-6 hours.

You welcome. Price is pretty low but I'm hoping it will go up:).... that's my way of letting it go up. Congratz on getting your coins and thank you for the support.

PM confirmation from theymos that the spam thread created by 'goldcoin' with the infected links has been removed.

Can't find chat box.

Please check this thread out guys: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217110.msg2281086#msg2281086

Hello,
My username is bitshirehashaway and as I'm sure you guys have noticed I'm a big GLDCoin supporter! I got involved quite early, though I didn't have a chance to get any of the 20k blocks, and since then I've purchased a good amount, got some early as giveaways/rewards, and I now have a descent stake in the coin.

Here I'll try and answer questions people have about GLDCoins while also including a poll about what you would like to see in order to have a nice civilized discussion about GLDCoins without everyone bashing each other. If I believe your reply is inappropriate, I will either delete it, or I will edit it and include a reason for why I edited it. If you disagree with me, I'm fine with that, in fact it helps me learn more for what I should be working on doing for the currency.

However, what doesn't help is when you hear something like 7m coins were pre-mined and its worthless. The developer has already said that he only has a few hundred k, and has given out a much larger portion, which means many people I know in the GLDCoin community have larger stakes than him, and they purchased it. Also, note I can't fix the past if you think something went wrong... I can only work on the future.

I keep hearing 7m were pre-mined, is that true?
No. To start pre-mined means that blocks were mined before the coin was released to the public, which means using that definition, 0 were pre-mined. The developer could have started mining right as it was released but even if he got all of the 20k blocks, which other people have received so he didn't, he would only have a maximum of 2m. The developer has also said he has a few hundred k coins only... and because of the large amount he has given out (around half a million), I personally believe it is fair that he has that amount.

Code wise, what's better about GLDCoin?
Honestly, not much. I know, as a supporter that probably isn't the best thing to be saying, but its the truth, and that's the goal of this thread. A few simple times were changed but other than that, its pretty much the same as Litecoin.

Why do you like it so much then, if nothings different?
Two Reasons. These may not seem valid to you but they are the truth. Firstly, the community. I've met many people since I started supporting GLDCoins and all of them have been very nice and supportive. I think the community behind a coin defines that coin and I think that's what will make GLDCoin great some day. A good community leads to places where you can spend this coin, and that's what makes it valuable! Also, unlike Bitcoins I don't deal in the 0.0001 place:).

The Developer choose to remain anonymous is that a bad thing?
How many of you know who the original creator of Bitcoin is. He also chose to remain anonymous, and that's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, though I would love to know him. The dev for GLDCoins is still active in the community and that's what counts.

I've heard GLDCoin can give me viruses?
Someone with the username of 'goldcoin' versus 'gldcoin' -> the actual one has posted a GLDCoin thread with infected download links. This thread is about 7 pages long, and multiple messages have been sent to the admin about deleting it. If you are not sure which is which, PM me and I'll link you to the correct one. The link is also here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205789.0

Where is GLDCoin traded?
Right now only on cryptsy, and in my opinion it should stay there for a while to help maintain healthy volumes versus the volumes it would have if it was placed on multiple exchanges. Low volumes mean a long time to buy or sell which is unenjoyable.

What's up with the jump in difficulty?
The network was mined by many people, which caused a large jump in the difficulty to 7, however, that should reset itself in a few days.

And now for the poll. If you vote, please be more specific about what you would like to see in your reply.

gldcoin.

Been rotating like 4 passwords for every site (hundreds) for the last few years...
*now feeling scared*

Yup. That's our goal... to get it far.

Done.

As was said, I also believe his forum account was hacked. However, due to his not to large presence from the beginning, we have an active community working to develop this project and I will also be willing to take it over if necessary.

Thanks!

Lol... powerful powerful friends:)... introduce me!

Yes. Dev has 31 posts and was last online today.

Need better design for the forum too.

gldcoin.

Darn it... we need to brace together to deal with this attack up until the difficulty readjusts...

182mh/s

Wasn't pre-mined stop reposting what you read elsewhere because your said you weren't there in the beginning.

Up to 189mh!

I think it will cause the price to rise because its much harder to get individual coins.
