641  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]Faircoin - MULTIPOOL PAYS --- 20%--- BONUS! for the next week! <-WRONG! on: May 01, 2014, 12:54:58 AM
If the dev was going to be active, he would at least make minor changes to things like the thread title...  The multipool has been gone for how long now?  Just saying, he's gone.  Time to abandon ship...

The time to abandon ship has long past. We're just the departed sailors cursed for eternity.  Grin My name is William Bagholder. Pleased to meet you.

Edit: I sent the developer a message in case he forgot about us.

Iconic is right, price can and should be able to hit what he says, cause he's thinking outside the box and community. If we are trying to take the money invested away from BTC to be #1 that will be a hard battle, but if we move outside our comfort zone, get marketing to people that could be interested in cryptos but have hard time figuring out how to purchase, or get some. We need to make it easy, easy as going to amazon and ordering a book or movie, and payment as easy as credit card/debit card transactions.


Purchasing altcoins will never be easy as going online with a credit card. It's the nature of cryptocurrency. Easy methods put the seller at major risk of fraud. AML and KYC laws also make it difficult to deposit and withdraw.

I had to respond to this. I am developing a program that will eliminate fraud between two untrusted parties. It was supposed to be out this week but i was writing whitepaper. So yeah... buying online will become a thing of the past. Soon bc will be bought with cash using untrusted parties.

Its a very exciting project so happy about it i could seriously jump

Elaborate! What solution do you have that millions of people have failed to come up with?

but "much easier" is relative. That could still be incredibly difficult in a wider frame and is almost impossible to measure.

I think what is starting to change is *that* is the incentive in itself...you stake to protect your investment. It's why I do. I mean say, for example, why would someone put money in a savings account instead of in a drawer in an apartment? Interest is fractions of a percent. I just want to keep my money 'safe' from say a fire or a robber or other 'attacks'.

You are comparing your incentive to stake coins towards everyone else's and, even worse, the issues with FIAT money. I have no fear of a robber or fire resulting in loss of my coins.

Most holders are constantly switching their coins around while trying to catch the next train.

Right now, I don't even bother downloading a wallet for my other altcoins. Just leave them on MintPal. But BC stakes at 8 hours so I keep my money printing machine on!

Give me an idea what a "printing money machine" will be. take, for instance, 5,000 BC as an example, what  kind of printing money will it produce in my wallet and how should I go about it. Thanks!

Keep your wallet open and watch the money come in! Ka-ching! Ka-ching! $$$ Those little decimal BCs might be worth 10x one day!

So we are talking "cents", then? on 5,000 BC?

Yes and no. Those "cents" you will get regardless if you stake 24/7 or once a year. But it's that compound interest which is like 0.5 BC that's the real reason you should keep staking!  Grin

What are your guy's market value predictions at 24 hours, 7 days, 3 weeks, etc

Let me save you some time... 50% will say to the moon, 50% will say 1 sat. 0% know.



Haha, I know, I just like to know people's anticipations, having an idea of when people plan to make their moves gives you increased perspective.

I know, at this point though it will be in the community & dev's hands to either build the coin up or do nothing with it... those will dictate where it goes more than anything short term.



24 hours - 2500
7 days - 2000
3 weeks - 1500

even if you withdraw them.. they have to stay 14 days... daaa

I don't have an AC wallet. Is there a counter that shows coin age and will it give you a warning if AC is getting close to 2 weeks?

Why are we using women? It seems trashy and gives BlackCoin a bad image.

Lets face it sex sells and almost every brand uses sex to sell. Women all dressed alike will garner the attention of everyone and that is what we want. The women will be dressed in black BlackCoin T-Shirts and black jeans or leggings. They will not be dressed trashy, nor will anything inappropriate be exposed. It will be tasteful and the women we hire will have a certain professionalism. No matter if you agree with using women or not, men love to see attractive women. And men will stop and talk, interact with the women, and of course take pictures. By the end of the day BlackCoin Beauty pics and videos will be all over the net.


Good point about the pictures. I didn't think about that. You should let the ladies know to use a specific hashtag when guys are posting up the pic. Come up with a good one like #blackcointakeover or something. Smiley Have 1 lady hold up a huge sign with #blackcointakeover so any random bystander who takes a pic will have the correct hashtag or QR code.

good ideas!!

just brainstorming a bit but to add, iconic mentioned earlier a possibility was to go big and maybe do a $$ giveaway in blackcoin or something as a promo that day. maybe after a hashtag is decided upon, we can do a smaller giveaway for those who tweet with that hashtag (can that even be tracked to do?). Just thinking of how it can get trending/more exposure virally. or do a QR code or something that directs them to the blackcoin facebook page and a giveaway will be done for those who 'like' it? First thing's first is getting the funds to even do the Wall St. even but just thinking out loud!

Could just randomly add BC to BlackCards handed out that day? 1 lucky guy gets 1000 BC. 2 with 500 BC. 4 with 250 BC. At the worst, you get a bunch of people figuring out how to check their balances in their BC wallet.

Actually I think every Blackcard should have some BC. Like 10? Then they can see how awesome staking works. Unlike our altcoin competitors, you don't have to wait 2 days or 2 weeks to see it happen. Cheesy

I don't understand this at all. Is it supposed to be funny? Is an attempt at trolling?

Information

It fails at its purpose if that's the case, cause it is genuinely confusing. But from looking at your past history it seems you think it would be relatively easy to pull of a 51% attack on a PoS coin. If that's the case why not try an intelligent discussion?

A PoS coin is susceptible to an attack, just like PoW. However, the means of performing the attack would be much simpler. The main weakness comes from most coin holders do not (and will probably never) stake their coins in the long run.

If there are 100 coins in circulation(for example) and only 4 coins staked, that would only require 5 staked coins to perform an attack. That is how a PoS attack would be performed, having over 51% of the staked coins.

Meanwhile, PoW requires 51% of the network hash. This makes it much more impractical to destroy a coin. Neither attacks have been successfully performed to destroy a coin, but PoS attacks would be much easier.

I'm a coin holder, and I stake my coins almost all day!  Grin Got to protect my Blackcoins!

Doesn't even matter anymore if it suceeds or fails. It will be an entertaining historical milestone and maybe even become a symbol for a desperately needed change in the coin-"industry".


Certainly matters to me! You think this is play money?  Undecided

Of course it matters to most of us. I'm holding 3m since 1000 and dont intend to sell soon. But believe it or not, not everybody is in for the money. Crypto needs to be less dangerous to succeed. People need trust. WC is on its way by evolving into a community-organized foundation with many helping hands. This simple fact (imo) is worth more than the plain price on a particular day.

That's 30 BTC = about $12K and it depends when you need the money. Some people may not be able to hold out as long. I must admit the fact we hit 1090 before even having a wallet update is extremely impressive.

I'm just kidding, don't panic sell your coins, as far as I know he is alive and kicking, it just feels like he is dead.



If dev is dead, then I will hold my FAC coins forever just to memorize dev's dedicated work.

lol, me too Grin

Well he was still active about 17 hours ago.

just wait for all to wake up , the real free fall will begin

Correct me if I'm wrong, at 500sat, 1500฿ can buy the entire supply (300m WC). I don't think we will see the 550sat minimum again.

More like $500,000

Yea I don't think so either. This dump probably won't get pass 700. I predict sideways 800-900.

#BlackCoin MP is now most profitable GLOBALLY for last 3 days. Get your rigs fired up. BC price recovery on the way!



Help get the word out, please RETWEET my fellow BlackCoiners!

https://twitter.com/CryptoDabbler/status/461450390383239168


How come we were the least profitable a few days ago? Was it because we were down?

No you won't be a bag holder, it's getting very hard to mine now. Only getting 2.5 per block at 250Kh/s When I started it was like 50 per block. Difficulty is 5 times as hard as it was 2 days ago. Alot of people are just dumping. Don't get scared.

Coins are switching hands from people who got in under 1000. To new people buying in now. So much volume. 3k in 2 days


What the hell? You're here. I must be in the right place then.  Grin
