Thanks!
Apart from the Jr. Member signature not displaying as intended by the code, all of these still contain the old name "cosmos coin" instead of "cosmo coin"...

That is true, since when I simply test the BBC code mentioned above outside this forum, it works nicely - it is indeed a limitation for Jr. Members on this forum, it seems.
Please let the Cosmo team know, I will try to do the same.

I am not sure, but the BBC code used by the forum is not equal to the HTML code.
As far as I can tell, you are missing the hyperlink behind the text, the code for Jr. Member should look like:

(center](url=https://cosmoscoin.co/]cosmos coin // The First High ROI, Airdropped
Masternodes Coin With Smart Contract Integration

=> Important: replace ( with [ in the above code at both positions!

Out of the technologies mentioned in the whitepaper (btw. is the link https://www.mincoinforum.com/index.php?/topic/4178-the-mincoin-white-paper the only source of the whitepaper?) and which are currently being implemented or considered, which solutions get to be implemented first, which are still in the evaluation queue? Is there a more defined development road-map for the year 2018?

I would say: LTC might have primarily surged / surges cause of Litepay, but LCC is helping LTC in the following way:

1. Some see two reasons to buy LTC before fork, even if the LCC reason is considered much weaker of an argument than Litepay, it is still a supportive argument
2. LTC is being simply pulled of the exchanges to collect LCCs
  2a. This might have created a (slight) virtual shortage of LTC being sold
  2b. (Casual) day-traders might stop day-trading for a day or two to collect LCC, leaving mostly long/mid-term traders in action, making the virtual shortage of LTC (from previous point) more prominent (i.e., not many are really selling any LTC for a "reasonable" price at any given moment of a day)
  2c. With LTC "partly gone" from the exchanges, all orders of these LTC owners are gone, even the invisible, stop loss ones => among other things, less panicking (not that there is some currently, but heavy profit collecting could have happened with LTC already, LCC helped that not to happen to the extent it could have happened)

Well done, it is good time to buy again and collect the profit
Many good altcoins have lost on their value, partly cause BTC increase in value, partly cause many investors are currently looking towards major coins like Bitcoin Cash, LTC, ETH (or obviously BTC).

The whole crypto-market is still rather low (though seemingly recovering) - selling now is not the best thing you could do.
Also, the NMS/BTC price does need to change for NMS to gain worth; it is enough that the BTC worth goes up.

Are you using the latest version of the wallet? Check the first page of this thread for the info / link to the latest version of the wallet.

Yes, I am sure that the dev-team went to screw a number of people over just for a little bit of free promotion - that is because signature campaigns are certainly critical for coins development / future.
I suggest that all those really thinking that this situation is so unfair / terrible, indeed move on.

In case anyone has actually used both payout methods, how does Payeer compare to Paypal when it comes to fees for example?

For those wondering what is the current status signature campaign, please check the QBIC discord channel for info / ask there - I feel well informed on that subject.

The invite to the channel: https://discord.gg/T8u8WWt

As for those who did not receive any coins in the previous signature campaigns:
From what I have seen - the applications lists were posted in the discord channel - quite a few people have entered ETH receiving address instead of QBIC receiving address into the form, which lead to disqualification of those people.

You should not use Windows XP - it is insecure OS for which support (including delivery of security patches) ended in April 2014.
Many software producers also stopped making software for it.

Airdrop from the second round? I thought that the second round has not even begun yet.

That is correct. It is all about decentralisation

Thanks for the effort!
Are there any plans to add Amazon Gift Cards for other than US store (amazon.co.uk for UK, amazon.de for Germany and so on?)
Amazon.com helps only US-based customers of WinMiner...

This is simply not true. The profitability of a coin has very little to do with ASIC, and that is for following reasons:

1. ASIC relates to an algorithm, not to a coin. Multiple and some much older coins than QBIC are using Neoscrypt PoW algorithm.
2. Profitability of many coins is at its highest soon after their introduction and for the people who owned the coin for longer (but not indefinite!) periods of time.
3. Profitability has nothing to with the (current) price of a coin.

This does not seem off to me as well - how do you think that the dev team is covering the costs of doing / running all this?

I second that question / statement: what is the roadmap for RBL for this and next year?
Given the dev-team activity, commitment and friendliness - I can't help it, I like being around in the RBL discord channel;)  - RBL has a good chance at being highly successful in the (near) future.

My wallet is always staking with total number of coins, at least for what I could tell. Also, all coins seem to be in one pool for me (and not as I mined them or received them otherwise). Is your wallet still staking with lower number than the number of coins? Try restarting the wallet, make a backup copy of your wallet.dat as well.

It is "ASIC Resistance" coin, since as soon as ASIC is developed for the underlying algorithm for a coin, the coin can switch to another algorithm, for which there is no ASIC available. For most algorithms, there is no ASIC available, since its development is not cheap.
