1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][THC] The Hempcoin (THC) on: December 10, 2017, 02:21:47 PM
I was reading about proof of stake and came across a comment explaining why bitcoin will never be proof of stake based.
What do you all think about this comment below, relating to THC coin?

Thanks

DO you guys ever think that bitcoin will do proof of stake? Just wanted to get some peoples insights on this.

No, because PoS doesn't work as a decentralised consensus. Every single PoS coin is a private club, with trusted owners, much like Visa the company is. When you invest in a PoS coin you are being tricked into thinking you're investing in the future, when actually you're investing something that can never work as designed.

What is a stake? You open your wallet up for others to mine?

Thank you.

Think THC coin will hold its value or go back to where it was before this week's news?  It's dropping....will be interesting to see.

This coin is a pump and dump. Goes up then goes straight back down. Gonna be .05-.06 cents in the next couple days. Im out

Well, so far it has stabilized at 0.00000846 btc...Lets see if that holds (unlike last week).

I don’t think HempCoin is directly related to the legal  recreational use of marijuana. You can use Hemp to make a lot of things but you CANNOT smoke Hemp. This is one major reason why I dont really think this coin is going to be more successful than the other weed coins.

You CANNOT smoke Hemp. It isn’t related to the legalization of recreational use of marijuana in california in January 2018.

Yeah, this is a good point.  I wouldn't think the general agriculture people would be flocking to a THC "Hempcoin" as their agricultural currency either...leaving THC coin....useless?

We see their pre-announcement tweet #1 last week caused a nearly identical pop to that of this week...

Will the price break 0.00001000 bitcoins per THC coin upon the real news?
Will it just sink back down to less than 50% of that like it did at the end of last week when everyone got bored of it?
Hmm

I wonder what will get people interested in this coin more.  It almost seems at this point dependent upon the bitcoin interface being useable in a more practical way. A fork.  Ok. Updated software....so it may pop tomorrow.   When will big companies be using this mainstream though?  That's when it'll jump I would guess.

The price of Hempcoin is exploding right now and the trading volume is going crazy, we reached already over 10.171.600 Dollars in the last 24 hours. It is very intersting to see what will coming next.
i know right, can it hit 1 $?


Of course, it can go to $1.00
It can go all the way UP, which depends on how much development the dev is willing to do.
Can go to $5.00,  $10.00 , or  $20.00

         Smiley

When saying "it can go to $1.00" do you mean $1.00 per THC coin unit?
This is sort of confusing to me as $1.00 is subjective (based on the price of BTC itself).
Can somebody elaborate?

Thank you!

Can Hempcoin be stored on a Trezor? What is the best way to store Hempcoin so it can be taken off an exchange for safe keeping?

Coinomi has a mobile wallet for THC for every day use. You could try a paper wallet for long term storage.


Thanks

This is how Coinbase explains how to backup on paper with alt coins, below, granted it seems to be for Windows and not any other OS (what to do for iOS?) Is this advisable for Hempcoin, below?

"Exporting private keys from altcoin wallets

If you want to create a paper wallet for a lesser-used currency that doesn’t have an address generator website, there is still a way to achieve this.

What every alt-currency does have is a variation of the Bitcoin-Qt wallet application.

Goto the ‘Receive’ tab, where your wallet addresses are listed.
Right-click on the address you wish to save, then copy the address to the clipboard.
Click the ‘Help’ menu and select ‘Debug’.
In the ‘Console’ tab, enter “dumpprivkey” and paste in the wallet address.
The console will then display the private key of that wallet.

You then have the public and private keys of the wallet. You can print these ‘as is’, or you can opt to generate QR codes to print.

However, the wallet details will still exist in your computer. The only way to remove them it is to open your file explorer in the ‘C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\[Wallet App Name]\’ folder and delete the ‘wallet.dat’ file.

NOTE: this will remove all addresses held in the software wallet, and you should make sure that there are no funds remaining in the other addresses you will be deleting.

Now you should be the proud owner of an unhackable paper wallet for your digital currency. If a paper wallet is not for you, however, you could use your own mind with a brain wallet."
