So you're accusing us of running a scam for almost 2 months to steal 25 cents worth of hash?  How much do you think our hosting costs for the nodes, website, multipool, webshop?  Notice how they're all on different IP's?  How many people mined on the multipool?  One person other than myself - what a scam.  I messaged him today offering to pay his 25 cents out of pocket, only because i thought this had been sorted and hasn't.  I go away for a few days and come back to this, and you wonder why developers give up. 

Seriously, think before you post.  Better people than you have tried to fud this coin and failed, remember that.

I agree it looks silly, but trust me when I say no one is going to click on stuff - ever.  We can see in the apache logs just how few people check stuff out, if you don't have those pictures there no one will see it at all.

The thing is, no one is going to troll through 20 pages of posts to figure out what we're up to.  They look at the OP and the last post, those giant graphics have to be there even if they make things clunky.  This is the google age, we all have 20 second attention spans and we want instant answers to our questions. 

It's fine, the ANN is huge, I need to spend some time tidying it up.  I find that most people just glance over the ANN and read the last post, so I try to put all the major updates in there.

There is definitely trust issues in pump groups, sometimes they dump on each other, other times they just leak info.  It's just common stuff, but maybe this project would be best if there was just a basic 'single user' pump/accumulation/volume faking bot and another fully featured one for groups.  We have to discuss this internally.  I think the amount of pumpers and groups are shrinking, this ANN is proof that a lot of people have left crypto in the last few months.  Had a project like this launched 9 months ago, it would be full of cheerleaders and fudders and other stuff like that.  So far there has mostly been constructive discussion, which is kind of weird for this forum lol

OK I would like to answer these questions in full and i will, but I like the positive reaction to the pump group bot.  I think it's safe to say we will deviate from the official roadmap, I'll probably just update it or scrap it and make a new one.

We will begin working on this pump bot probably this week.  We have built these for whales in the past, so it probably wouldn't be right to just build on top of that, they did pay us for it and they own it.  The good news is we know some of the features they look for, but I think it might be best to target those pump groups in general, and make a bot where everyone in the group funds the bot and it assigns shares based on how much you put in.  This way when the pump coordinator exits, he/she knows how much BTC is owed to each member.  This is quite the undertaking and we can't take it lightly, if this kind of software has errors and there is lots of money involved, that's how the drama starts.

We could probably do one of those darkweb marketplaces, like provide a base working model and just not operate it, but I don't think there would be anyone who would want to purchase it from us.  Another thing we have been tossing around is building a trading bot for whales/pump groups.  We have built those before for pumpers, and they're actually in high demand, but you need to buy them custom.  The last one I know of that got sold was for 5btc, and we get asked all the time to build them.

With this said, we might deviate from the roadmap a bit, we're simply not meeting our timelines and the stuff we are releasing isn't exciting anyone.  This webshop is actually cool, the problem is that no one reads or researches anything.  I could release a document saying Bill Gates plans to pump this to 5btc a coin in the middle of an update and no one would mention a thing.  I'm not certain how to combat this issue, other than offering the 10% commission to anyone who generates leads for us that turn into sales.

Apologies for being absent the last day, I've been trying to sell some of these items, especially the web shop.  We may just bootstrap this next week and offer pre-packaged shops in the coin of your choice, we just haven't decided on the price yet.  The developer who made this is skiing right now.  The developer who made the multipool is moving, and I have to be AFK for about 18 hours.  I will leave our investor in charge for a day and resolve any questions when I'm back.  

I will make a document explaining the webshop and why people should take a serious look at it, should be done next week.

Kold we're just about to do a major update, but I sent you a PM, we'll take a look at that wallet for you. 

I'll manually run the payouts later, I thought i was the only one mining for the last few days so i didn't bother.

Hi!

Just wanted to say we're almost ready to launch the payment processor and web store.  The frontend is complete, we're just getting the payment processor installed.  The developer working on this is putting about 5 hours a day and says we're about 2-3 days from a beta release.  Apologies for not making an appearance earlier today, but we're just planning out how we will develop the next item on the list.

I just wanted to say, this next piece we're about to showcase is really useful.  Any altcoin will be able to implement their own payment gateway, allowing them to receive payments in their own currency.

If anyone here knows of other projects that want their own web store that takes their coins, get them in touch with us, you'll get 10% of the commission for the sale.  The minimum cost for this will be 3.5btc (or 750 Euro equivalent) in 2015 coins to get a basic store like the one we will release.  If additional functionality is required, it will cost more, but we can handle the selling just make sure you have your name on the invoice.

The same goes for the Multipool and the Exchange, we can set up and support these items for a fee.  The payment gateway we have developed and own completely, so that we can outright sell.  Drop a line if you'd like to know the price for these.  

Thank you all for your support and kind words, it's nice to see people urging us to get stuff out.  One thing I did want to mention, this is pretty fast development, and we didn't have ICO funds or premine to back this up.  At the current market price for 2015 Coin, we're not sitting on a large market cap.  Our goal here is to make sales, that's how we will pay for future development.  We hope to have a healthy volume once people see the value in this project, and be able to offer 2015 coins to people wishing to develop items they plan on selling.  Eventually we will be able to pay decent bounties, and keep some for ourselves, making this more like a business than your standard dump and disappear coin like we're all tired of.

Just wanted to chime in here, the e-commerce webstore is being worked on.  It will feature a few fake products that you can purchase with 1 coin, and it will e-mail you a receipt.  This payment processor can be used to accept any altcoin, it just requires that the daemon be installed and a frontend configured.  Once this is released we'll start work on the next item, which is a gambling platform.

We've built anon systems before, but it's not something that's easy to sell and the price tag would be high.  We would need to have a client lined up for this work, and they would never want this to be re-sold after they purchased it.  I have some fairly decent ideas for development moving forward, but I think it's best to get our payment platform out the door first before promising future work.

That's just it, we could be 'that exchange coin' but things would get really stale.  Maybe once we get a bunch of stuff out the door, and we run out of steam for a while we can look back at stuff we've done and maybe add a few pairs on the exchange.  We'd never go full bittrex or cryptsy level, maintaining all those daemons on multiple servers, it's a full time job, but would be good for someone who is excited to run their own crypto business. 

It's hard keeping up this level of work, and it would be catastrophic to take a break and tell people on this forum nothing is going on, so we're just trying to get more stuff out the door.  I'll admit we did underestimate some of the work, and you saw us miss a couple deadlines, so we're being a bit conservative now with our promises. 

We could, but development would basically halt to a standstill on other projects.  We're thinking about it though.

It's an e-commerce web store with an altcoin payment platform.  This will allow any coin project to take payments in their currency, we will be selling this feature if anyone wants it.  We're going to be late on this one, it looks like it will be out around the 1st.  We just released a multipool a few days ago.

We're interested in this because we planned to make a news site for Q2 2015, this would have increased our community presence (KING community joining Twenty15) and given us a really nice template to start with.

If we do succeed in acquiring this, we'd be open to talking to the KING community about a coin swap, even if the compensation is a fraction of the IPO value, it might be worth discussing.

Regardless, it's your domain, thanks for considering us.

Sorry, we're not advertising, we're offering to take it off your hands.  That link was to show you we're capable of operating websites and this aligns with our business model.

Twenty15 (2015) coin project might be interested in acquiring this.  Drop a line if you want to talk.

This aligns well with what we're trying to do, we were thinking of developing a news site.

The only issue here would be the negativity, if the community (and investors) take it easy on us we will operate a news site and acknowledge the coins are associated with it.
