Giftcoin [GFT] The reignition of the most promising Altcoin available!  It’s fair to say this last week has been a whirlwind for gift coin. With arguably one of the most highly anticipated crypto coins to ever pre-release, the buzz, support and genuinely just the sheer amount of interest was both an unexpected but highly rewarding result of days of sleepless nights and the probable catalyst of my impending hair loss.
To date, we’ve had 47,674 views on the initial Giftcoin announcement (and rising), which not only shows the ripple we made, but also gives us the confidence that GiftCoin is a real contender and a true titan of the crypto world. On launch alone, we received over 3Gh/s which send web servers, pools and forums into haywire causing a crash unprecedented by any other crypto currency to date. Essentially we came, we saw, we conquered, had 27 kids each, realised what we conquered couldn't house our needs and as a result the banks burst without our control (Thanks Obama).
On one hand there was an initial sense of achievement that our Coin made waves and had actually brought down the components which facilitate it, but on the other a sobering thought that the crash would in turn cause a crash of confidence with people who simply couldn't mine GiftCoin. To clarify, the crash was never intended, we never anticipated people to react on the scale they did and the idea was always to be as transparent as possible putting out new features and fun prizes to build a solid community with durable confidence.So, what happens now? We get creative! With Wirlwind couple of weeks (as it shall now forever be coined – get i.. ah nevermind.) over, we’re looking to pick up where we left off and start rolling out some of the unique features of GiftCoin which made us want to set up the Coin in the first place! First, let us introduce to you GiftCoinForum.com!The official forum for all things Giftcoin. Here you’ll find everything from Mining Pools giving you live updates of available pools and mines, to Support where our technical team are on board to help with any queries or questions regarding Giftcoin, to General discussions where one is free to discuss absolutely anything (Apart from Coinye where Kanye appears, aggressively claiming he does not in fact have gills.) The forum’s going to be constantly reviewed, renewed and expanded as we grow – Would love to hear some suggestions on design, new threads or any other reservations from you guys! #1 - Giftcoin Casino(s) [500 GFT]
#2 - Promotional Video [500 GFT]
#3 - New Wallet GUI [750 GFT]
More to come.. So that you are ready (like a ninja) here are the Giftcoin card redeeming instructions:  We need support in the form of network hash power and awareness of the coin in order to get onto the exchanges. If you are pointing your miners to Giftcoin, we thank you for your support - You can spread awareness of Giftcoin by adding a comment to the exchange add requests below:
   #1 Official Giftcoin Pool
** 100GFT Block finder reward **
0% Pool Fee with Proportional Payout!

I hope we’ve been as honest and sincere as we’ve intended to upon our reignition. We’ll say it again loud and proud, the support you guys have given GiftCoin thus far has been more than we could have ever hoped and really fuels us to stay determined to put absolutely every breathing hour we have into its success. But part of that success is down to you. The simple fact of the matter is, in order to get on the exchange we need network power, and in order to gain this we need support from a dedicated community of miners. The past few weeks have been a learning curve, but nonetheless a beautiful journey; one we hope you’ll all continue to stick with and be a part of.
Let us as a community work together and see GiftCoin achieve the unprecedented success we all know it can get.
See you guys on the other side!
GiftCoin HQGiftcoin is a serious coin with a good goals. Among the whole bunch of new coins, most of which are meme or joke coins, it is the most reasonable and promising one. So it will be long lasting. But it needs promotion. Trade and exchange with other cryptos will definitely bring more attention to it and make it grow. Please, consider adding it to the exchange markets. Thank you and good luck! |

Suits,
Over 4 hours later and still haven't received anything. Same here We have just been through and checked our transaction history. We searched for every single person who said they had not yet received their coins by the deadline time. It appears that there is a small backlog of people waiting to receive their coins, but we have looked into this and this backlog is now moving. You should receive your coins shortly, as I believe some of you are already beginning to from what you have said in this forum. We are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused and we hope you continue to mine Giftcoin. |

GiftCoin launch had a lot more response than anticipated, so what happened?
- Bitcointalk crashed at launch time meaning we couldn't post links to wallet on time
- Once we posted the link, so many miners tried to mine the same blocks we got a tonne of rejects and orphaned blocks
- Small bug in the Windows wallet meant checkpoints were not set correctly
I saw unconfirmed coins in my wallet, now they've gone, what happened?!
This situation is best describe by Jimmy @ Cryptocointalk.com:
It's because the blocks are being found really fast and the re-target is every 2016 blocks. Rejected means you solved the block, but someone else solved it faster I understand this might be really frustrating, we released the Windows wallet for solo-mining to gave a chance at getting some blocks.. but don't worry! You can still grab some coins at the giveaway.
We are sincerely sorry to anybody who tried to mine this coin but had no success.. We were initially planning to give away 25 GFT each at the giveaway, but instead we are DOUBLING it to 50 GFT
To qualify post your GiftCoin wallet address followed by your favourite TV show!
Giveaway closes at 4th Jan 2014 13:00:00 EST

Why should I mine GiftCoin?
Well, think about how you feel when you receive a Giftcard/voucher.. Infact, let me show you:
How you'd feel if you received a Giftcard/Voucher:
Why do you feel like this?!?
- It's a store giftcard, you can only redeem it for something in one place! -
- It's made of paper, it might break -
- You might lose it in which case it is now worth nothing -
- It will expire after a certain time, making it worth nothing -
- Where do I store it? -
- I can only use it in-store are you serious?!-
- Plus many more reason.. -
How you'd feel if you received a Giftcoin:
Why do you look so joyful?
- Any store will (Possibly?) accept your GiftCoin! -
- Your GiftCoin is stored securely in your wallet -
- It will NOT expire -
- It could increase in value whereas Giftcards/vouchers do not -
- You won't misplace it (unless you remove your PC hard drive, but don't do that) -
- Generate a your own paper-wallet, give it is a gift and the other person can transfer to their virtual wallet - Soo smooth.. -
