This is incorrect. Many of the top addresses are known exchange addresses representing hundreds (if not thousands) of users.

In addition, your statement about Goldcoin being only on Bittrex is wrong. We are listed on three exchanges.

We'd like to welcome TradeSatoshi to our family of exchanges!

Sunday Meeting February 04th Highlights:

Please find below highlights from Sunday's Skype meeting.

Opening remarks: "I'd like to thank everyone for attending tonight's important Skype meeting. Many of the decisions being made right now in Slack and in this group will affect the network for the next thousand years. So they're important. This is because the larger Goldcoin gets the harder it will be to hard fork."

1. We have just initiated Testnet Version 2 with the new Goldcoin client. This latest update features a new checkbox inside the client that allows the sending of free transactions under 1000 bytes in size. The median transaction size is 226 bytes meaning most transactions will be eligible for free transactions.

Each block has 5% (100 KB) reserved for free transactions. This means the Goldcoin network can accommodate 440 free transactions each 2 minutes (each block) or a total or 316,800 free transactions per day. This amount will be increased to 1 million transactions per day this fall when we increase the block size.



2. Quantum proofing. It has been suggested that we explore the possibility of making Goldcoin quantum computer proof. This would give us an additional edge over other cryptocurrencies that lack this protection.

3. There are currently two whitepapers being developed; 1 short version, and 1 long version. The whitepapers will describe in detail the advantages of using Goldcoin and provide technical information about the inner workings of the Goldcoin protocol.

4. It was suggested on Telegram yesterday that we update the website's "About" page to include all the developers from our Slack team. This update is now complete with a complete list and bio of each or our six talented developers.

5. Goldcoin has decided to end its relationship with C-CEX after reports of missing deposits and horrible support. This leaves us with two fine exchanges perfectly capable of handing our trading volume. Once the new client is released later this month, we will actively pursue additional listings with reputable exchanges.

8. We have produced an easy to understand comparison table that outlines the key differences between Goldcoin and Bitcoin and Litecoin.



9. We are adding events weekly to the 2018 Goldcoin World Tour. There currently have events scheduled in the United State, India, and Germany.

10. The Telegram Team has now grown to over 700 members. You can join the Telegram Team by installing Telegram and clicking here: https://t.me/goldcoin

11. Last month sales on trygoldcoin.com reached an all time this doubling the previous highest recorded month.

12. The Goldcoin store has added several new items including new Indian merchandise. Store link: https://www.teepublic.com/user/goldcoin

Having a blast testing out the new Windows client. Wow! Eric, Amir, and the supporting Devs did an outstanding job on this beauty! #Goldcoin

The Goldcoin protocol is a hardened version of the original Nakamoto protocol. The Goldcoin protocol does not require masternodes.

There are no plans to introduce them as they are completely unnecessary.

Sunday Meeting December 31st Highlights:

Please find below highlights from Sunday's Skype meeting.

I'd like to thank everyone for attending tonight's important Skype meeting. This week we had our Senior Developer, Marketing Director, and several community members in attendance. This was an extended meeting about 2 hours in length. Below you will find a brief summary of the various topics discussed.

1.  Since our last meeting trading was halted on Bittrex and was then resumed after Goldcoin passed a few additional compliance checks. Although our price has increased significantly over the past several months, we are still considered a small cap market.

In order to ensure our uninterrupted listing on Bittrex we must continue growing and improving our overall ranking which is currently around #387 in the world. We should make it a top priority to get into the top 200 during 2018.

2.  Since our last meeting Goldcoin reached an all-time-high of 36 cents on December 19th. We reached all of our internal targets for 2017. Now it's time to take Goldcoin to the next level and return to the top 200 in 2018.

Goldcoin is a hardened version of Bitcoin with 10X the capacity and 5X the transaction speed. The tech fits the brand perfectly. Once people grow into this understanding, they won't want USD, BTC, YEN, or EURO. The people will demand Goldcoin.

3.  The Android app is routinely reporting an incorrect exchange rate. This is because the price is being retrieved from the C-CEX API. Eric has been made aware of this issue and is working on an update that will use a more reliable price source. The fix will use coinmarketcap and/or Bittrex for exchange rate calculations.

4.  To increase redundancy, we should get Goldcoin listed on an additional exchange. Two of our previous exchanges, NovaExchange and CoinGather, have recently closed while C-CEX looks shaky closing for an entire month so staff could go on holiday. The Goldcoin team has submitted applications for listings on Poloniex and Binance.

5.  Last week, the iPhone app developed a bug that caused transactions to appear as unconfirmed. This issue has been resolved. If you are participating in our TestFlight beta program, please be sure to update the app to the latest beta version.

6.  The community is calling for a website makeover. An investor group of 17 has offered to help fund the website makeover project. We will be working with Albert Milligan and our website designer to explore various options for improving the overall appearance of the official site which is hosted at Goldcoin.org.

7.  The new Goldcoin client is currently being tested and we now need a pool for our Testnet. If you are capable of running a pool and would like to help, please make a post in the new Testnet thread on the forum.

8.  I am very happy to report that the most difficult task of all has been mastered in terms of the rebase. Both the 51% defense system and Golden River difficulty algorithm have been successfully integrated into the new 0.14.2 codebase.

C-CEX staff took a month's long vacation. They will return to normal operations on January 20th.

This is just what the doctor ordered! Great job Mr. Cryptosolar and Team India for bringing the community this valuable mining service.

Some antivirus software produce a false positive for the current Windows reference wallet. The wallet is virus-free and perfectly safe to install.
