I have been thinking about an idea for quite sometime now, and BlackCoin might be the perfect fit. Many miners do not have bank accounts and it is a pain to convert cryptocurrencies into fiat. I have an acquaintance in the financial industry and we have worked on a few projects together. He has access to some really cool financial products for corporations. I discussed this idea with him already and now I want to test the waters here and see if there will be some demand before thinking about moving forward.

If you could convert your BlackCoins into a virtual Visa/Master Card that you can use online, or even a custom physical BlackCoin Visa/Master Card for US/Canadian residents, would you guys be interested in that service? There will be a fee somewhere in the neighborhood of $7.00 - $10.00 per virtual number/card. If this is something you guys would be interested in, he could put this on fast-track for me so I can be approved and I could have something up and running quickly.

If there was strong support I would consider keeping it BlackCoin only which would force other people interested in using the service to first convert their other coins into BlackCoin.

Please let me know what you think and all feedback is welcome.

phrase This much Wow such Amaze!!!!


Dogecoin Cons:

• Kitchsy (like how bitcoin is the honey badger of money and the bilboard in SJ)
• Higher concentration of kids and late crypto-miners
• Likely not to be accepted by Wall Street/Big VC investment/Financial Sector as much as BTC would be
• There is no technical reason that it is more unique or superior as an alt-coin
• Its origin story was meant to be a joke-currency, like sexcoin or potcoin

now for the DOGECOIN PROS:

• Brings in a larger segment of youth to learn about cryptocurrency which could in turn establish permanence in culture and society for the future (btc is expected to last until at least the year 2140 when all coins are mined)
• People use it as a platform to donate some serious cash - more so than BTC folks have.  I don't see a BITCOIN sponsored Nascar, DO YOU?
• Dogecoin supporters show a much higher level of dedication towards cryptocurrency than some of the so-called bitcoin supporters, we should take heed from their examples to show you folks how spreading adoption is done
• There is still a period now where a common believer could drop 5-10 dollars into dogecoin and stand to see a grand payout if the currency is accepted into adoption before BTC - those who follow through with this investment may be interested in in doing the same for BTC as well once the determine that any amount of BTC can be purchased and not necessarily an entire bitcoin worth[this could potentially just be bad speculation and confirmation bias on my part].  Because of the active developers and userbase, I only see this exapnding, not contracting like other altcoins that may be innovative, but lack the drive to spread their own adoption
• Streisand effect - scoffers of dogecoin will be like - why the heck does this even exist, which brings them about to bitcoin.  Google Btc one time and then they can choose for themselves whether they are for or against digital currency

@cryptosteam: Thanks for the attention on Blackcoin! We will get the logo updated. I also appreciate you letting us know about the apparent delay in pending/confirmation of Blackcoin deposits at agx.io. Someone from our support team will reach out to you directly via our AGX Support Platform to troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks again!

It is, I had contacted them and aked if they would please add BC to their exchange, that it would be good for them also because they are new and trying to attract customers.

And today they got back to me :

Jamie - we have Blackcoin available!

Thanks!

Justin

Just sent some Blackcoins there to see if its legitimate.

This is great news, you should post it on /r/blackcoin too

If it goes higher, your BC is worth more. If it goes lower, you mine more BC.

Noo I think it looks great

Shibe language is so nice much fun!

Come on man

Most people here hold millions of DOGE, so it is not worthless to them.
And if you actually analyze the project, it holds alot a potential.
Price development compared to Bitcoin history is still much better.
Big rewards will come when regular mining is done. And only the small inflation keeps being mined every year.
