Maybe the dev is more interested in an open discussion here, instead of a private conversation with you
Oh, and BTW I am not bashing early adopters (I have profited of being an early adopter of many coins), just stressing that putting most coins on hands of early adopters is not on the coins best interest IMHO.

TBH I am not much interested in trading Datacoin but I am really interested to see what can be built on top of it. It seems the OP has great plans (for example personal chains ) and would be great to be able to discuss some of them here (or elsewhere) with him.

A balance should be met between available storage and available coins, and storage should be expensive because you are paying for a distributed, permanent, censorship resistant storage.
However something must be done to reward those who keep that storage online, I recall a thread here in the alt section that talked about proof-of-storage . Maybe the dev wants to take a look at that thread.

Is there someone willing to sell Datacoin bellow market price (or donate) to me ? DLjcy3vu8KhMGbqbEtRcrGQUEweuMpiZqs
I have been building a website to help people get/put data from the blockchain, the site is almost done but I want to do some testing before opening it to beta, it's just I don't want to spend my few DTC testing.
Considering a full block of data costs almost 50 DTC, storage is REALLY EXPENSIVE and DTC are really hard to mine in comparison.

On a sidenote, is the testnet working ? I might go this way if I can't get cheap or free DTC ...

Expect a semi-open beta in a day or two (or three ).

All attention: Someone posted a pretty legit suggestion on Reddit to try to solve the 90% release within the 6 months period which is a drawback as we have heard.

I quote: We need a fork of Quarkcoin "Quarkcoin's hashing mechanism was a great idea. What wasn't a great idea however is releasing 90% or so of coins in a period of six months.
We need a fork that gets rid of the insane early adopter's reward. Who's with me?"

Some already backed this plan.

Here is the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/1rzlea/we_need_a_fork_of_quarkcoin/

Let's all cooperate, i believe if this issue is solved. Quark will see huge gains!

It's most likely them buying them back at a cheaper price. When they make the market crash (buy dumping all of those coins) noobs panic and sell their coins too expecting it to drop further. Mr 300,000 then jumps in at the lower price established as a result of the panic and makes a extra few thousand coins.

I never understand that, someone comes in with say 300,000 quarks, but decides they want to sell NOW.
They crash the market 25%, then it bounces straight back afterwards.  Result is that the person with 300.000 quarks has lost out on bitcoins and the little fish have gained some cheap coins.

It seems ridiculous, but it happens pretty frequently.

Datacoin huh, I have to admit I like the name.  If I may suggest an idea to help promote DTC.  The character in Star Trek called Data might be an option to help promote your coin.

datacoin and grid coin should be added next! 

And people are worried about bitcoin's blockchain being bloated...

I tried to point jhProtominer at a local datacoind without luck. I am trying all this stuff on linux CLI, and don't have a QT wallet built yet as I am on a mac.

All the versions of jhProtominer that I found are trying to use the "x.pushthrough(xpt) protocol" , I thought DTC required the getwork method now?

look at the depth there. that tell it all. people not trade much with CoinE because they have problem with it.

Max - I suggest you use the site for a few trades then come back here with your opinion.

Coins-E stole/lost a lot of our coins. Before trying to pump your coin at least make others aware of the potential pitfalls of trading there.

I mean't that as far as I know that the ypool developer said no. Although if your offering then I wouldn't mind helping out with graphical design and front end website development.
