We are currently finishing up and testing the apps that will allow you to do this. As a crowdsale participant, one of the benefits is you will be able to get access to Metadisk (currently in its beta) and then to DriveMiner in the very near future.
 
We do not intend to reach 9,800 BTC. The main point of this crowdsale is to cover our costs up to this point along with providing funding for the future. The crowdsale will go to developer salaries (several people are working full time on this project), development of new protocols and applications, and marketing. The community pool and the developer pool are ways for outstanding community members to be rewarded for contributing to the project.

A majority of altcoins released today have premines held completely by the developers. Storj changes this by allocating half of these funds to the community so that we, the developers, do not have all of the say.

Look around here a lot of coins waiting for a pump..but waiting too long ! All that btcs are trapped and more and more to come...
Tomorrow will be 700sat
for a few days will be removed from bittrex..

Concealcoin is 100% scam.

How does Cryptsy add a coin so quick, when other coins have paid votes plus regular votes and haven't been added on. My guess is that one of their cronies created the coin, with a short PoW + whitepaper to create panic trading and hype and a rush on the exchanges to trade the coin.

Then Bittrex/Polo hop on the scam train and list this giant turd.

24HR PoW + Whitepaper scam = hype and huge exchange trading volume. Plain and simple.

These exchanges need to be careful. I know Bittrex and Cryptsy and US Based so if they are complicit to this scam then they can be shut down.  

People are asking why the dev would scam if they didn't premine. Well, they don't need to premine if the scammer owns an exchange and makes money from the fees.

If Cryptsy is behind this scam then I am dumping all my shares.

I bought at 2.7. If you guys just stopped panic buying you could get it for at least 3.2.

Just hit 5k on cryptsy

Wish i knew about this sooner 

We have little more than 1000 blocks before PoS starts. Adding 80,000 coins to the current total only gets it to 1.2 million coins. There is no way we will get to 1.4 million, let alone 1.6 million.

So, probably late tonight/early tomorrow we go to a 5% per year rate of new coins, that's ~60,000 per year! Not 100,000+ per day. OK, so it will compound, but we are talking 164 new coins per day, so this compounding will not be so fast.

Not sure if this is right, but daily rate of 1.00013698630137 compounded 365 times goes from 5% to 5.12%, so it is a gain, but really we can ignore it for the first... decade!

I estimate that in 10 years, we will get to 2 million coins. Then it does start growing faster, so after 20 years we will have 3.5 million coins, etc.

Realistically we will have < 1.5 million coins with practically no selling pressure. When I first found out about BTCD it was interesting, but I assumed it would have 22 million coins pretty fast. Also the "giant premine" was calculated not on the full 22 million like I had assumed, but on the PoW phase, so the devs have a whopping 20,000 BTCD or something like that. While in the future this will be worth quite a bit, this amount was easily obtained for 1 BTC and even after appearing on exchange for 3 BTC. So all the "premine FUDsters" can explain to us how a few BTC to the coin creators is a problem.

With DRK in the first days of the coin, there was a "bug" that allowed the early miners to get over 1 million coins. Guess who was running the official mining pool? Yes, the dev of the coin. So, Evan certainly deserves his millions from what he achieve with DRK, but on a fairness scale BTCD is orders of magnitude more fair, like 100 times more fair.

I dont know how many different people are mining, but the petahash(!) rate is absolutely incredible and this indicates it is more than the half dozen early miners that get all the cheap coins that is usual. So, for marketing if we can figure out how widely BTCD is distributed, this will head off any of the "unfair distribution" nonsense that is bound to come our way.

How else will they attack us? We dont have anything new? Ha! Let them try that and explain how 30,000 lines of new code is not new.

Awesome name. Maybe the logo is on the weak side. Hopefully there is a professional graphic artist among us. I am sure bounty for a fantastic logo will be made available. I know so far it has mostly been about the mining and I would think that BTCD community did more hash in its first week than any other coin. [Can somebody back this up with facts?]

So as we transition into PoS, the mining will go away, but please keep at least one server ready. Each server running a node will earn revenue sharing and be the cornerstone for a decentralized infrastructure that will literally change crypto. I think big, I talk big, and I achieve big.

DRK has something like 500 masternodes. It would be great if we had more nodes than DRK, so I hope somebody can document the number of active (server type) of nodes vs just people running the Qt on their PC. We wont need all these nodes for a bit yet, but I want to make sure that we can ramp up to it when it is ready.

For the next two months or so, I would like the BTCD community to become a software testing community. That is what I need to get my stuff done as soon as possible. So bug tracking, of course testers, documentation, usability focus groups, etc. there will be things for everyone who can use a computer to do. After all to get to top 10 coinmarketcap, we need a lot of new users and that means all the software needs to be easy enough to use for everyone, including all of us!

So, if you have organizational skills, we need you.
if you have graphics skills, we need you.
if you have communication skills, we need you.
if you have PR contacts, we need you
if you have common sense and can use a computer, we need you
if you have tech skills, we need you too!

I wont divulge the full tech roadmap yet, but I will show with my actions that I put my money behind what I say. I believe in my abilities to deliver the tech that I will purchase another 10+ BTC worth and to make sure I actually get the coins, I will put the bid in at .000666

HODL is the best strategy for a coin like BTCD. HODL and TESTL, then we will release and market and dominate. So if you are with me, help out to the best of your abilities and availability and dont sell below the magic price of .000666

I want today to be the last day BTCD was available below that price.

P.S. Its been quite a week, my multigateway went live today, you can see it at http://www.multigateway.com

Hey guys, two announcements today!

First one is that all the features talked about in the whitepaper should be delivered in 2-3 days, we've been working night and day and should be pushing them out really soon.

The second one is we had hidden in our sleeve for later but since everyone has an eye on Aegis we decided to  give you guys the news now.
We've been saying merchant adoption is one of the things to focus on and we mean it, crypto won't go anywhere if we can't push it to real stores and use, to start this process quicker and because we understand that not every merchant will have an altcoin ready system we are developing an Aegis debit card. This will be something similar to what Xapo will push out for Bitcoin (bitcoin doesn't has this yet!) and we expect to have it ready in 1 to 2 weeks tops. An Aegis credit card will let you use Aegis in ANYPLACE that accepts debit cards and will be linked to an aegis online account that automatically converts Aegis to USD when you're paying for something. Our biggest problem has been actually making the cards but this should be solved soon.

We are also looking for a designer to design the cards, we wanted to make really simple ones but the team is not happy with the design. So if you're interested and are a designer contact us.

nope, small 1% which is being used for development

No now money is waiting in sync and apex, sync releasing a wp soon tonight, there needs to be a bit quiet in the market, and everyone try to tweet or smth to bring awereness  to the ann later

eta? make sure to not release the update when the market is busy with another coin pumping or smth . We need the volume so keep your ann 1-2 hours away from sync or some other coins
