Dear everyone,
since I've just had confirmation of yet another idea being stolen from me, I feel compelled to reveal more details about my plan regarding a new approach to stabilize the value of the coins participating in the alliance immediately.
As I mentioned earlier in thie thread, the idea is to develop a special coin that only exists as a means to give concrete value to the coins that are accepted to have this coin based on concrete resource as their pillar stone.
The resource in question is Finnish groundwater. It is very pure, there is plenty of it, and it is very inexpensive to "mine". The value of it is still rather high and very stable indeed.
In all it's simplicity, the idea is that one Watercoin always buys one liter of pure Finnish groundwater. The coins whose value is bound to Watercoin can also be used to purchase the ground water. The ratio of values is defined in a simple algorithm that takes into account the maximum number of each coin as well as the other technical details. A company will be established that will take care of pumping, bottling and shipping the water anywhere in the world. Shipping costs will naturally be added to the price.
I would have liked to prepare a proper presentation of the plan but since it turned out there is someone already working on a water backed coin of his own, I felt compelled to put the information out right away in order not to be accused of stealing the idea from him later on.
Please spread the word of this plan and keep the discussion going!
I am also urgently looking for investors willing to partake in establishing something truly unique, building on an honest, lawful and open basis.
Yours,
Jyri

That is actually brilliant to peg it to water! |

Hi. Serious question. I'm new to this forums and new to a few coins I'm looking into, but not new to bitcoin. Any time I make posts or comments, someone always has something really pessimistic or rude or judgmental to say. Just doesn't seem friendly to new people or those who think outside the box. How come?  |

Where is this??
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA photo of one of many atm's here http://s9.postimg.org/jdd2bckov/IMG_2084.jpgIs this some kind of a joke?
can we get a lock on this? thanks
Why is this a joke? And why the overall judgmental attitude? You want to lock my post-- for what?! If you have nothing productive to add, why SPAM AND TROLL ME?!?!?! |

I'm doing some research and would love everyone's insight.
What makes crypto-coins fail, die, go out of business?
I'm looking for specific things that are tied to a coin failing. I heard many coins fail because they're dumped and so value leaves the economy. What else makes them fail?

A lot of our city uses bitcoin already. We have bitcoin machines here too. The point would be a local economy mostly. Although nobody could really stop others from trading it or accepting it elsewhere, the goal would be using it here. MIT has a digital currency just for MIT students. Same deal except for a small city.

It seems to me that new coins always have a good start but then quickly fall off. I imagine it could be a number of reasons. Personally, I have a experience in real life community management and I can develop, plus I have some seed money. I would love to start a coin or even pick up a dead one someday. But I recognize there are important factors to making it work such as a crypto-friendly established and proud community, start up money, reliable devs and admins, some kind of mission, etc. Local PAPER alt-currencies can work in towns. My city is about 100K residents. I'm just outside of Boston, MA, USA. My city has MIT, a Google Office, A Microsoft office, Harvard University, Tufts University, etc. I think a local coin would be a big hit. I also think several niche coins could launch from here such as a Cannabis coin, a Social 'wealth distribution' model for poverty/charity, and even a music coin. I'm still learning all the technical specifics though of building the wallets, blockchain explorer, etc. Just the ol' brain ticking. Thanks to those who bothered to give some insight and comment. So far my experience here has been hostile LOL!  |

This has been done before, not US but i think it was Auracoin, big disapointment
I'm going to research that specifically. I didn't see anything come up on Google about it being done. 1 article on an attempt of something similar in Australia but it's mined. |

Why the pessimism? Some friends and I have had great success with a few non-digital currencies. We have a few hours exchanges in my town. We also have some good tech colleges. I'm not suggesting a release into the wild such as how altcoins are done here. Probably something promoted just locally and looking for miners among the tech industry here. If it's such a terrible idea, why? |

Hi there, I'm new to the forum. I was thinking of creating a coin for my town and promote it to the town and local businesses. Has this ever been done before and what do you think some of the considerations would have to be in developing such a coin? The point would be to have a coin for real local trade from yard sales to supporting local business (non-national franchises). And exchanges would be mostly done using mobile wallets and technology. So you could go to a yard sale and a customer could use their phone to scan a label on an item or the salespersons phone, or they could scan the customer's; and that's how transactions happen. It could be promoted in local papers and local media TV/Radio/Net/Ads + Flyers and things. No rush-- just wondering if it's been done and possibly what kind of challenges would be faced? What considerations would have to be made?

How does one take over a coin?

I'm interested in learning more about it. Who do I speak to? Is there a website?

I think the same people behind it made https://gourl.io which now has wordpress plugins for popular wordpress shoppingcart plugins. I found out about it by installing it as a possible bitcoin payment gateway for my wordpress installation. I have no actually tried any transactions yet but I'll let you know how it goes. To digress, I put all my wallet infos into the site and noticed the 1 random coin I never heard of: Speedcoin. So I looked it up and there's a connection between the coin and this payment gateway. So all of you with speedcoins will (eventually) be able to spend them at any shop using the wordpress plugin from gourl.io for woocommerce, wpecommerce, jigoshop, etc. Note: I'm in no way connected to either site. |
