Gazo at 22% now. :/
we have a new clevermining? This multipool has been on our chain already before DIGI, but didn't manage to get more than 10%. With the price rise yesterday I think things got more profitable for them (together with the hashrate drop by Frais and me that might even be more). Still, not as bad with Clever (they keep < 50% and block times are still reasonable). I will organize a new collective mining session shortly to raise the floor. Last time we had 17 people. I'm sure we can get about 30 people this time around  |

Yep the organization was lacking somewhat... Good job on the article J.P. And thanks Buerra for the nice twitter comments Haha, no problem, the Twitter-sphere went retweet and fav-crazy on that one comment on your tweet-train there. so you like Startchat better? Where did you get that? I simply replied it doesn't matter who was there first. It matters who does it best. GEMS is going to be a good competitor to you guys because they have deeper pockets (raised over 780.000 dollars). That doesn't mean they are better, Sendchat might be better, I've invested in Sendchat, not in any other of these projects. BTC won't be the end all be all, so giving altcoins a chance to be adopted is awesome. And I would love to use Sendchat on my iPhone and see how it works. I haven't looked into Startchat. |

There is always a way to bypass the current buy-options any service offers. We can make a service that can top-up OV cards or a place to buy 'anonymous' cards topped off in certain amounts. Only problem with topping up cards hooked to people's names and bank accounts = privacy concern because you would need to know some touchy information to be able to do that, which comes with a few laws to reckon with. BUT it is a good idea and worth looking into.
EDIT: I just checked it and it is possible to top up cards hooked to people's names. Apparently all you need is the unique card number to send money to a card to top it up.
some people don't really mind too much about privacy concerns, giving the people the possibility/opportunity is key (and makes the most sense, business wise) I proposed this when bitcoin was just a few months old, but people thought it was a stupid idea. I have multiple anonymous OV-chipcards in my wallet (and use cash to charge them). Would be great if you could send empty ones to some place and order there a new one (which is pre-charged). Even the intrinsic value of the card (the 7,50 euro's that you use to buy them) could be refunded, based on the remaining age of the card (expiration date is on the back). And by using the card all over the country, it will be very hard for TLS to trace the card to a person. I know when I was living in australia they offered business that sold top up credits for (transport) smart cards a % cut of the value topped up, if they offer it over there could start up a website doing top ups, offer half of discount to customers as discount for using NLG and the other half for costs to run the site. also could work for top up credits for prepay phone vouchers, this way you offering a discount by not costing you anything <edit> telcos would be another idea You can't give people discounts. Topping up €20 the card, actually costs €20. Discounts will put you out of business real fast. |

Hows expansion in the Nederlands, any data?
https://distribution.guldencoin.com/#/stats for the amount of people that requested their 100NLG And according to the seeds there are about 370 wallets live at the time of writing this. So I'd say about 22% of the people that requested the free 100NLG are live at any given time. Still a long way to go to 1,5 million Dutch folks, but if you look at the stats you'll notice a very very slight upwards trend in terms of people requesting their free NLG. The iOS wallet has probably out-downloaded the Android wallet already I'm sure, no stats of those wallets live I believe so quite possibly more people online. |

About the mixes, I'm in talks with other DJ's to do a mix for us, but it looks like SEBASS will be doing a monthly mix or at least on the regular |

Is the Guldencoin forum having issues?
I've been able to come on the entire morning/ afternoon, so I think not. |

Chicken and the egg though.

In my opinion, it's more important to get more Merchants first. We have to find more idealistic oriented Merchants that are willing to support NLG first. We could start in some kind of city/village getting as much merachants as possible and then contacting all people living in that village and explaining them how they can use NLG. We help them to install a wallet on their Phone, send them some NLG right away, and also give them some information papers.
Like I said, more merchanst first, because the people must be able to spend them. I live in Groningen, but cannot use NLG for my daily shoppings. When we can get like 25% or 50% of all Merchants in a village be willing to accept NLG, then this is a good starting point. At least I would pay all my daily shoppings with NLG and at the same time I would try to educate other people in the village. Also from a promotional point of view, I like the village idea. Wouldn't we love to see an article in "de telegraaf" or "AD" about a whole dutch city accepting NLG.
The awesome part of this piece you wrote is that you've given yourself an answer to change the fact that you can't spend your NLG in Groningen yet. Meaning. Go to the shop you shop at daily or weekly and ask them about Guldencoin. I'm sure 'deaurin' on the Guldencoin Forum (PM him) who lives in Groningen (city mind you) would have a chat with you about it. I normally live there too, but I've been out of the country for about 2 years now. So when I'm back there I'll surely get to work. In the meantime, it's up to you and the others that live in the cities to approach merchants with some information about NLG and get them to accept it . |

JP from CryptoArticles = at the London Bitcoin Expo and I informed Ian from CoinTelegraph. AS for the Dutch crypto news outlets. Haven't contacted them, someone else can if they want to. I did however send out a press release to Dutch media as updated here – https://forum.guldencoin.com/index.php?topic=689.0 |

Great. I hope the 'kwartje van Kok' action starts soon LTEX is supposed to launch it the 1st of March, we'll see how that goes |

Renewable energy = cheaper and more effective than nuclear power actually. 50% cheaper even. IF you want to look into proper nuclear power. Look into Thorium. If you want to look into 'clean' mining. Set a timer to start mining whenever the solar panels on your roof (if you have any) start to collect power. Also. With the ability to mine from any CPU device in the near future with a simple piece of software BioMike is developing with the assistance of some other community members like Patrick. The network will see a far better distributed hashing possibility with far less power consumed because people are only mining when they're behind their computer or using their Xbox or whatever. Basically. In order to survive clean energy needs to be decentralized as well. Large companies will never switch to solar power, wind, biomass and others because they think there is no money in that. They might be right, but they can also be too late if there's a large percentage of urban areas decentralizing their own power supply. Based on our power consumption (two person household), we would deliver about 2000KwH back to the grid annually using an average amount of solar panels (we only use about 1200 KwH lol) – average amount is about 27 square meters of solar panels for electricity and 2 solar collectors to heat water with a 170-180L solar boiler. Which is actually based on stats of generating electricity and warmth on a roof where the panels aren't on the ideal position (south west) in NL. So imagine if you were to point the panels towards the perfect side of the compass and hook a CPU to mine NLG whenever the sun is generating power for you including the rest of your power needs – http://www.cloudsto.com/products/android-mini-pc-s/meegopad-t01-windows-8-1-hdmi-stick-quad-core-cpu-2gb-ram-32gb-internal-memory-bluetooth-detail.html something Meije found a few weeks ago. It's possible to achieve the average setup, if you have the room on your roof of course, with €10.000. Even if you loan the money from a bank, you will be cheaper getting clean energy than buying straight from a Dutch energy company. I would suggest anyone interested in decentralizing energy looks into it and combines it with buying the remaining need for energy from a farm through something like Van de Bron. It'll be good for mining in general, but also for becoming independent of oil and other rather useless fuels. |
