PRT is starting to move, we should start moving too! It's much more enjoyable to watch price rise, when you've done something related to the spike

Guys, seriously, who controls Facebook page and Twitter? Nobody knows?

News soon.  The timing of all of this should work out nice if we keep climbing the voting ranks and make it onto MintPal, Cryptsy etc.  I am extremely afraid people are holding and will dump in large amounts.  Please don't do that.    I am hopeful that our technology will be enough to support price and that we will see actual trading in a nice range.  It is what it is I guess, but once we start dropping news we are going to quickly climb coinmarketcap and it is going to attract speculators.

I did not make the facebook page, somebody else did - actually there are a couple of them out there that people made.  Maybe they will come back and post.  We have a reddit.  I never set up a Twitter, probably would be good to get buzz on there but it is time consuming and "yet another thing" on the list.

Somebody sent an email asking me to update the theme on the forum - I actually bought that theme, its a premium theme and I like it   In any event, I could change it but right now is not good time, its a couple hours of work to hack phpbb when you install themes, total pain that I don't want to deal with until after wallet release.  RIght now server is working things are stable, just want to leave it alone

There are a couple of things that would help me preparing the drop if there is anyone who can write:

- Getting Started guide - this is what shows up now when you start the wallet or go to the getting started app.  RTF document.  Could somebody write up a nice introduction to crypto currencies, how it works, how a wallet works, etc. all the things that a newbie could read and understand?  I have some basic stuff, but it would be really nice to have something very complete with a lot of content.

- Android Particle wallet - is there anyone who would be willing to own the google developer account and publish this under your real name?  Please let me know by Sunday (March 9).

- Press Release - can somebody author a press release to coincide with the beta wallet release?  A real press release not an SEO press release (although if people want to write some SEO press releases too that could be helpful).  Could we have this by Sunday Mar 9 as well?

- Developer screencasts - following release of the beta and the developer API, it would be very good to generate some buzz by having some Channel 9 style screencasts showing developers how to make apps.  Is there anyone skilled enough to make some of these?  These could go out later this month, but it would be great to have some up front to get the buzz going on YouTube.

I am making a huge push on the beta today.  It is going to be a Particle spring.

Obviously lemfuture has no idea what it takes to develop a project like this, let alone doing it SOLO. I give my hats off to moonmoon for taking this project on.

so only moonmoon is the lone backbone still of particlecoin huh

The price of PRT is going down too.

Particle - cryptocoin that you can mine

I think this sounds a bit better as it speaks and engages with the customer

...a cryptocoin that i can mine to fund my purchases...

You can also create a shortcut and then click properties on the shortcut and in the target field add -salvagewallet then open the shortcut

I clicked the start button then entered cmd which opened the command prompt. I then entered:

C:\Users\cameron\Desktop\particle-qt-8.7.3\particle-qt.exe –salvagewallet

(which was the exact location of my prt wallet)

It then appeared to begin opening up my prt wallet but took over an hour before it actually opened. Once it did all my previous transactions and balance was gone. So I closed my wallet then restarted it with the same result. I even restarted my computer then reopened my wallet but it’s still showing no transactions or balance.

Does anyone know what may have happened and what I can do about it?

That sounds much better than the post you quoted :p I can't tell what the question was

Moonmoon - Dont listen to these people who seem to fail to realize what it takes to build out this style of program. I would not be surprised to hear you say you've doubled the code count if not tripled it by the time the final wallet launches.

I am a professional QA tester and have lead many teams primarily in the gaming industry. I've worked on prelaunch titles for Kinect and Xbox One and have managed multiple groups of people. With my background and knowledge, i would MUCH rather you continue to iron out the wallet and make it as stable as possible and also make it so that its stable for the implementation of new apps.

^ THIS alone will be one of the BIGGEST reason a community dev will want to move over to PRT and program on it. No dev will want to create an app on a system that barely functions and crashes most of the time. The second thing that will bring them to this will be the fact that they can create their apps and distribute them.

Don't listen to these so called investors who invested "thousands" into the coin. They will be kicking them selves thinking wtf did i do? Why did i sell on JUST RUMORS. We are not a penny stock, we are not here to pump and dump this coin, we are here for the long haul and are here to have a coin that is valuable and a big player in the cryptocurrency movement.

I'm sorry investors for saying this, however MINERS are the SOLE reason your fucking transactions go through. Without us, you have a coin that is valued at nothing because you can't fucking get one coin from your wallet to another wallet. WE VALIDATE YOUR GOD DAMN TRANSACTIONS
It angers me quite a lot when investors of a coin fail to realize how important, we miners, truly are. Higher network hash rates = security of YOUR INVESTED COINS.

At times i've put my whole mining operation on this coin. That is over ~43MH/s on the network. As such i have to be somewhat profitable to keep my operation going since i currently have no job and no source of income. That said, i've left 20Mh/s on the coin and moved the rest ~23Mh/s over to other coins for the next few weeks to be able to fucking pay for my electricity. I would love to see an investor try and run a operation that totals ~43Mh/s AND be unemployed AND try to cover expenses of your operation. This coin has a bright future, however the investors are short sighted and do not realize that mining does cost money not just to purchase hardware but to also operate. I think investors fail to realize we miners(i am a small timer) have to actually purchase hardware and put time and effort into keeping these things going more so than saying "this coin looks good, im going to buy it with BTC". You fucking press a few buttons on a computer and you are apart of the community coin rather than spending hours building out your rigs, monitoring them each day making sure temps are safe and stable and your hash rates are not suffering due to some unknown cause.

If your going to throw math on the table, then i shall do so as well to show YOU - investors who think miners aren't that important and investors are more important - how much it really costs to operate my single small scale mining operation.

1 rig = 1.6Mh/s =  43Mh/s total
1 rig = 950W(not including anything other than the mining hardware alone - mobo,cpu, gpu's, PSU - Does not include cooling)
43 / 1.6 = 26.875 - I actually have 27 rigs running
27 * 950W = 25,650W EVERY FUCKING HOUR
25,650W = 25.65kWh
25.65 * 24hrs = 615.6kW per 24hours
615.6kW * .12c = $73.872

It costs me $74 per 24hours to operate my small operation. That doesn't seem like much however multiply that by 365 days for the year that equals out to be $27,010 jsut to power the units themselves. This does NOT include cool of the units which during summer can double the costs at times. This also does not account for the 15hours a week i put in to maintaining my setup, keeping the units clean and dust free and also expenses that arise such as needing new motherboards or a new cable or a single zip tie.

With that being said, i could easily make double what my costs are if i strictly mine LTC, however i do not do this because I SEE a bright future in this coin however mining something that does NOT pay for your electricity alone is not worth my time and from a business standpoint, this is what causes companies to go bankrupt and fucking fall to the ground. You can not keep paying out of pocket to keep the company afloat just because someone else wants to do things 1 way regardless of how it affects everyone else.

When you have no income and solely rely on the money you have in the savings, it is hard to justify dedicating your operation to a coin that does not even pay enough to cover electricity. I'm sorry for all you investors who wanted a 10 fold return in a few weeks, however you have to be patient, and NOTHING is worth your investment if you expect to return that much. You might as well give your money to the penny stock pushers as the returns of such are always followed up by a major crash due to the "pump and dump".

Again, i dont intend to be a dick, or a jackass, or rude, however you must think about the long term value of Particle Coin. Moonmoon did not propose increasing the coin count, simply increase block rewards. The increase of the coin count would make ME leave this coin all together as right now we dont have the support to do this. DOGE coin got away with increasing coin count due to the large flow of people on the coin.

Increasing block rewards will solely draw more users to the mining side of the coin which in turn will increase the total hash rate. The increase of hash rate will mean that your transactions will be validated and processed and give better security and less of a worry about a large botnet moving in and starting to manipulate your trades.

With the increased network hashrate, youll see an increase in difficulty which means that the miners will receive more per block, but will take longer to complete that block - in turn its about equal to where we are now.

Most of the investors commenting are saying its "its stupid", "i dont liek this idea", "this is bad" but fail to realize they aren't being helpful at all by saying this. You are just adding spam to the thread and not offering any solution to what we should do to keep miners around.

I AM STAYING WITH THIS COIN AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME OF MY MINERS ON THE NETWORK REGARDLESS OF PRICE This coin has a bright future and because you've "lost faith" in this coin and sold your entire stash - I want to personally shake your hand and say THANK YOU, you've sold to me at a wonderfully cheap price and your beautiful Particle's will now live well in my wallet. So Thank YOU!

I've also updated the logo across the sites, I think I got all of them.

...It is me doing the work of an entire team   It also means I have to space things out and pace myself on purpose to avoid burnout...

Alternative scenarios with no change in maximum coins i.e.1,000,000,000

1) increase block reward == more miners == higher difficulty == less coins mined by miner
2) leave block reward == less miners == lower difficulty == more coins mined by miner
3) increase blocktime to 60/120secs == coins released slower
4) price per coin increase == everyone happy

There are always someone believe in something but others not, if you dont like it,just empty your wallet,others will take it.Go ahead genius.
