Can anyone explain to me why would anyone invest in a coin which heavily favors early adopters? I mean whats stopping people from dumping 20% of all the coins mined after 1 month?

Klondikecoin did something similar. It had 77 coins per block in the beginning, then a lot less (16 afair). Its price has fallen more than 20x.

To anyone reading this: please think and do some research before you buy this coin.

Reward decreases relatively fast, but not too fast. It still would be worth embracing Groestlcoin even in a few months from now. The value of coin does not only depend on coin reward. It also depends on difficulty. For example, I was getting roughly 3300grs last week with reward 512 (mining with 49mhs). Now I'm getting 5000+ with 481 block reward.

The idea of large rewards in the beginning is to get more people have these coins. It's like 50% discount vouchers for restaurants. If you have the voucher and you liked the place, you'll go there once again.

With introduction of super speed scrypt asics later this year, coins like this one will get lots of attention. And I recommend to mine/buy GRS while it is relatively cheap. That's what I'm doing myself at least.

As for dumping 20% of coins... Well, nothing is stopping. But it is the same for all coins. Bitcoin, litecoin for example.

Hi Guys!

I think that it would be great to get an article about our coin highlighting its unique features (CPU/GPU friendliness, moderate number of coins, 6% block reward decrease, etc). CoinDesk, Bitcoin Magazine, etc.

I'm ready to pay 10,000 GRS for it. Perhaps somebody would like to join in paying the bounty.

What do you think?

Difficulty is not increasing (see http://dwarfpool.com/grs), so it means that less people are actively mining it. We need to raise awareness about this great coin.

PS: I've set up a public trello account with some of ideas on what to do next. Please feel free to edit and add your own recommendations. Perhaps we can vote on todo items later. Here's the link: https://trello.com/b/EUl5cwEz/todo. I think it is easier to track items using trello than in this thread, but of course we can keep the discussion in this thread and/or PM.

Thanks,
Dmitriy (srcxxx / CryptoHunger)

Edit: offering 10,000 GRS for professional-looking design of the main website, not just any design. See details here: https://trello.com/c/wbc01pbL/2-re-design-the-website. It should be on par or better than other coins. If 10,000 is not enough, perhaps others could help fundraising?

Update: developer, gruve_p, just sent me a PM and answered a few of my questions. This coin has a bright future. Am going to buy more GRS now, while it is cheap...

PS: Hoping to get my GRS pool up and running this week...

can you copy paste your pm in this thread ?


I asked him to post something to this thread, hopefully he'll do it. I also offered my help in promoting and possibly development of this coin.

Hi Everybody!

I'm a senior software architect at a large company (not related to crypto or www) and crypto currencies is my hobby since December 2013 (I've been through LTC, Doge, multipool and Myriad mining). I'd like to share my thoughts regarding Groestlcoin purely as a miner and investor...

First, respect to developers for creating this coin. I really like the total amount of coins, the 6% reward decrease, it's CPU friendliness and much less heat/noise from my 4x r9 290 while mining GRS.
But there are some things which I think could be improved.

There are some many different coins nowadays and it is hard for a good coin to stand above the rest. Coin value is only decided by the price other people are willing to pay for it. If nobody knows about a coin, then its value can't be large.

My biggest concern is that GRS lacks publicity. Just google for groestlcoin and you'll only find a few links.
There is no Twitter and no developer communication...

Please also see my recommendations (in no particular order)

* It is not stressed anywhere that mining this coin on GPU consumes a lot less electricity and makes GPUs quieter and cooler. And that it is still CPU mining friendly (CPU is only a few tens of times slower than GPU). No recommended cgminer settings for hardware, etc.
* The fast coin reward decrease should be also stressed to attract more mining and investors (mine/buy while there are many coins). This will get the GRS market going.
* Website design is amature. Compare with http://www.darkcoin.io/ for example.
* Who are developers? What are their plans? What is their contact address? What is the planned coin future?
* Coin explorers don't report the coin amount properly. For example, it is off by about 30% for my account. Presumably, it is because they don't account for mined coins.
* We need articles about GRS. Raise awareness about the coin.
* Set up twitter and paste it in main groestlcoin.com page
* Possibly set up trello.com account and post improvement ideas there, assign work, track progress, vote on features. Fundraise for some features.

I'd be willing to help with what I can (can set up and organize trello and/or set up mining hardware settings list, for example). I'd like to join the dev team and help with what I can (if this is an option, of course)

Also, I'm planning to set up another GRS mining pool on a fast server, I'll keep you posted about the progress.

PS: Please share your ideas and vote for the coin on exchanges.

Thank you

Just to make sure: I took the sources and forked it. I am planning on applying a fork if the dev won't show up soon. :p I can do the technical part but I need some others to do PR / graphics.

I think it would be better if you have worked together with the dev.


+1

Dev, where are you?

If you fork it do something useful, like basing it on bitcoin core 0.9.0

No blockchain forks unless really necessary please.


I am not planning on forking the blockchain. First let's see if the dev comes online the next few days Smiley

edit: I will add some nice features (including new core) when applying the fork. Suggestions are welcome too.

This sounds interesting. Could you provide more information please? Would it still be still the same Groestlcoin, or some other coin? If it will stay the same coin, how would we require all users to switch to the new wallet?

PS: Dev, please show up!
