EDIT: IRC integration looks great, well done raizor! Definitely a step in the right direction for us, I'm sure you all noticed that the BCT forum goes down from time to time, it will be good to have IRC as another community focal point.

Very excited about this, just not sure how to get my hands on some spare btc right now.

I'll get there 

That took a lot longer than expected, good news though, thanks Elambert.

Interesting ideas

With part of the funding going towards maintaining the market price, this could be done on exchanges other than Cryptsy...

Seriously though, Jenna is getting a bit long in the tooth even for an old timer like myself, I think Tori Black or Emma Mae might better appeal to the target demographic.

I've only used a handful of wallets before, but I like the recent DGC one. It has the block explorer and price chart as mentioned, and also an irc portal to the DGC channel. I don't go on there much but when I do it is easier to fire up the client than it is for me to search out a web link to take me there. Even if not as a community gathering place, a similar setup might be useful for support and troubleshooting problems.

I think that must have been it BTCat (cryptex), I had an idea that it was something you had mentioned before.

Great stuff!

I thoroughly approve of the updates. I know they do sometimes seem to fall on deaf ears, but they provide a necessary focal point for the community. It helps settle the nerves also after a drop in price (to know that good work is going on behind the scenes). As has been pointed out though, you do all have other obligations so progress can take some time... It might be better to make the updates fortnightly for that reason. Just a suggestion as it would be a shame if you felt pressured to come up with new positive things after a week of setbacks or something.

I'm firmly in the "don't know how or don't feel they have the skills" camp. I'm very happy to support giveaways and competitions though, as I think that they really help from a marketing perspective.

I got given some coins once in a giveaway. It wasn't a coin I knew much about, but it inspired me to research it more and within a couple of months I'd bought a significant (top10) stake in it.

I remember seeing some sort of giveaway thing on a new exchange a while back, where you could just set it up and people can claim free coins every couple of hours or something. Anyone remember that? It might be gone as I had a look for it just now and couldn't figure out where I'd seen it.

Indeed, I don't really see what purpose it would serve to dump so many coins at once, other than to get rid of them.

I have often thought however that some sort of sell bot might be operating on the Arg market. I'm no expert but the constant stream of small sells implies to me the work of a bot. Surely nobody is sitting there and decides to sell 1.58879117 Arg and then a minute later another guy decides to get rid of 2.36326063 Arg.

I would guess that someone is using a bot either to get rid of coins without dumping the price too much, or to lower the price in order to buy in cheaper. I'm just speculating though, I don't know.

I think it's the right thing that the devs should concentrate on DGC, it's just that no timeline or roadmap was discussed regarding Src/Arg, so naturally after a while people are wondering what the plan is. It's good to know that it hasn't been forgotten, and especially good to hear that Arg/Src is to be included in the new block explorer.

Great news that Arg/Src will be getting added to the new block explorer, thanks Ahmed.

I was a bit surprised at so many coins being sold so cheap but I'm not reading much into it myself, other than that a big holder wanted to sell in a hurry.

And yes Vlad, I believe that coinmarketcap is wrong.

Nice work, thanks Elambert.

Stop me if I'm wrong here, but Argentum is currently on block 1152612 and gives a random reward between 1 and 5.

Average reward is therefore 3 coins per block.

1152612 blocks x 3 coins per block = 3457836 total coins.

We can knock 3000 off that due to the staggered reward at launch, leaving us with an estimated 3454836 coins in circulation.

The ~350k coins that have been dumped are surely more like 10% of the total coins.

No idea who dumped, but I estimate that it was more like 10% of current coins.

FWIW I bought about 10% of the coins that were dumped but have already sold them on... It'd be nice to have kept them but I already have plenty.

Thanks Ahmed!

Arg recovered well I think from that dump last month, considering the amount of coins that got sold.

It will be recorded like he said:

Yes it will be when the competition ends, this time next year.

$475

Excellent, I have sent the 100 CBX.

Lots of low ball guesses this time around I see. It's tempting to buck the trend and go big.

Nah I think fonzie got it. A mega bull run to 1000's of dollars seems a bit unlikely right now :p

Another competition sounds great, I can pledge 100 CBX towards it if you come up with something (PM me).

Very nicely done BTCat!

By the way, I noticed your competition is almost up. You didn't forget about it did you? Haha

I think I'm going to be pretty close to last place, how very optimistic we all were back then!

The wallet syncs up fine, I've had some Arg sat in mine for a few months now.

It is a mostly forgotten coin, amid many. It would be great if the foundation could maybe do a little maintenance on it, block explorer etc. (although i confess I have no idea how much work or time that would require).

Obviously the Devs are very busy with DGC and related services, but it has been quite a while without any further clarification regarding the foundations intention (if there is one) with SRC/ARG.

I don't think that coin market cap reports the number of coins correctly, it has been stuck on 1471853 for a long time which surely can't be correct. The maths doesn't add up for me either given the block count / reward. I think it might be related to the block explorer which doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.

Any chance of a fix on these issues?
