Welcome!  Happy to have you here.  There's a note in the OP about it.
The first time you run the wallet you may need to add some nodes to get connected.  Click Help > Debug, select the Console tab and enter the following:
addnode kimocoin.com add
addnode kmc.1js.us add

I will update the seed nodes in the wallet for the next version.  Let me know if you still have any trouble.

Dev news:

• Really nice trading on Comkort, 105M KMC traded in 24 hours.  
• We need three more votes for our new logo.
• I have successfully created a new wallet with a new symbol "KIMO".  It has the same blockchain as KMC, but 1000 KMC = 1 KIMO.  If we make the switch, then Kimocoin can be traded in BTC, which is much better for us than LTC.  The wallets are 100% compatible, and the old wallet will keep working--no hardfork.  I am looking for some community reaction to this idea.  I also need people who can test the new wallet and compile binaries for Windows and Mac, please PM me if you can help.  If everyone agrees with the change, we can deply the new "KIMO" wallet with the new logo.

Nice to have you here and thank you for the vote.  Which country are you from?  

There are now two extra votes for Wolf Rainer and one extra vote for MoneroMooo.  That gives us 16 total votes and puts MoneroMoo in the lead.  It's a very close contest.  We need at least four more votes.

My pleasure!  If any other KMC users in the USA want some items from jacobsparts.com, PM me and we can work out a deal.

Diff > 14.5 -- very nice.
< 4 days until the reward starts to fall with each block all the way down to 5k.
Nice trading on Comkort, keep it up!

- It's time for a new logo, but we need more votes.  Come on guys, it's up to you to spread the word and get some more people to help us vote for the new logo.
- I want to do more auctions, but I need your support to grow our community.  We can't just have the same four guys bidding on every item.  I need to see more votes for the logo as a sign that we can do it and that it's worth my investment to auction more items.
- I have more development ideas, but really none of that matters if we can't gather 20 votes.

There are many good signs for our coin like more people using the faucet, rising price and trade volume, and more network hash--but the most important thing is to have a strong community and the center of it is right here in this thread.  I'm counting on every one of you to tell at least one friend or BCT trading partner about Kimocoin.  It's small thing to ask someone for a vote.

Many thanks to community member Didux for submitting a very nice logo.  Since I already reset the vote twice and I promised not to reset it again, I will not reset it this time.  If you want to change your vote to Didux's logo, please post your comment in the thread and I will keep track of it.

Cast your vote at the top of the page.

No more auctions until we finish the vote for the new logo.  If you have some friends on BCT, ask them to vote.  We need 20 votes before we can declare a winner.

Congratulations to GraberKGD, winner of a brand new 500 GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive for 55M KMC.  

Fixed, sorry for my poor spelling.    Got your vote, so that's two extra votes for Wolf Rainer giving that one a 2-point lead.  Still not enough votes.  I would like to see about 20 votes before we declare a winner, so if you haven't already please vote for our new logo.

Block reward fell to 60K.  After the next block reward decline at block 150K, the reward will fall with each block.

For the auction of a brand new 500GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive the current high bid is 55M KMC.  Who will bid 60M?

A big thank you to tw0rak for a Czech language thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=680947

tw0rak is one of the earliest members of the community.  We're really glad to have you here and appreciate your contribution and support.

It's a theme that plays out in every coin.  The price alone isn't low or high, it just is.  It's low if you think the price will rise, it's high if you think the price will fall.  When the mining is more profitable than the market price, more people will start mining until the difficulty balances with the price, normally there is downward pressure on price because many miners will mine and dump if there is any profit, but KMC is special.  We have a small community of dedicated miners and everyone is holding, not many sell orders.  It's a strong indicator of upward market pressure.  I am trying to collect as much KMC as possible, but I can only mine as much as my rigs will support, so I'm also buying on Comkort.  I've bought some extra hash power on leaserig and betarigs, but I don't want to buy too much because if the difficulty rises too much the profit of my rigs will fall--so I'm enjoying the current situation.  I'm willing to buy on Comkort for a higher price than it would cost to buy some hash power because it does not hurt the difficulty.  KMC is a really good value and it's growing--that's why the difficulty is rising even while the reward is falling fast.  The difficulty and price will continue to rise because we are building trust with new promotions and services and we are steadily growing our market cap. 185M looks like some good trades to me and I agree, the price is low. 

A user reported that he was unable to vote so I reset the poll again.  Sorry but I must ask that everyone cast their vote for the new logo once again.  Last time, I promise.

Thank you for the suggestions.  It could use some improvement; but most importantly it works well.  Looks like you had some nice luck!

X11Coin and X13Coin had really great launches.  X15Coin has a desirable name, seems like a good bet.

Yeah MoneroMoo's logo is really nice, and a 100% volunteer contribution!  The edge artifacts are my fault, will not be a problem for the final version.  It's brighter than the others which is nice, and probably has the best mass appeal.  My vote is for BitDesign though, it has character.

Thanks for your bid of 30M KMC for a brand new 500GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive.  This is our second KMC only auction and we're shipping worldwide.  Who will bid 35M KMC?

I'm pleased to announce Kimocoin Dice.  1% house edge.  PM me with any questions or issues.

Seems your vote was not registered, I had to reset them.  Please submit it again at the top of the page.

A big thanks to community member MoneroMoo for submitting a new logo.  It's a very nice logo, so to be fair I am resetting the poll.
Don't mind the artifacts around the edge of MoneroMooo's logo, that's my fault--the final version will be perfect.

Even if you already voted, please vote again for your favorite logo.

Regarding the logo, I'm still waiting on the final vector file from BitDesign so I can't provide orignals yet.  The K logo is actually a custom drawing, not a font.  If you want to try a mashup, we could certainly add it to the poll.

A vanity generator would need some modifications, but I think it would be simple.  Never used one though.

About the world's smallest drive, you should know it's really just a collectors item.  In theory you could hook it up, but I'm not aware of any devices that support the ribbon connector.  That said, since you're in the US I would sell one to you for 3.5M KMC.  PM me if you would like to proceed.

There's a lot of development in Kimoland  

1.  I have received a preview of the second commissioned logo.


Please cast your vote for our new logo at the top of the page.

2.  For our auction of a brand new 500GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive we have a bid of 15M KMC.  Who wants to take home a portable hard drive with great performance for a crazy low price?  Can I get a bid for 20M?

3.  Kimocoin Dice game coming soon. 

Thanks for your bid.  I can declare according to your instructions--but I cannot be responsible if there are problems with customs.  It's better to offer a truthful declaration and pay the tax.

Really nice to hear your enthusiasm and support for KMC, trading real world items is the best use of KMC.  Sent a PM about it.

We're having a KMC only auction for a brand new 500GB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive with free worldwide shipping.
Who will bid 15M KMC?
