Woo hoo! Sent 100 CGB to the Foundation. And check out this article: http://www.coindesk.com/australia-igot-exchange-secures-funding-global-expansion/'He added that Australia had huge potential as a bitcoin hub. While he has seen his customers make major purchases like cars through igot’s exchange, some trades were made for major export items like coal.'Wow!! and I am still treated like an annoying simpleton at my bank when I ask about Bitcoin. And I had a wonderfully weird argument with Hotel with Big Chandeliers in The Lobby today. I rang them because they were listed on a SpendBitcoin site. They accept Bitcoin via Expedia -- but I was told that I couldn't say that. 'We have no association at all with Bitcoin,' I was told -- yeh, umm, well . . . actually, you do. I can book a room at your hotel with Bitcoin. What transpired was wholly positive: I hammered my way to Medium Level Guy. We decided that the Directory should have a section that directs people to the 'Australian Expedia Customers Section.' The Directory has reached a higher plain. Mark, Australia Thank you so much for the donation! As PSD mentioned, we are in the works of putting together a professional marketing campaign that will expose CGB to an audience that reaches far beyond the day-traders and miners that make up the majority of BCT. The only issue is that this is very costly. Donations are encouraged and welcomed! If you have a stake in CGB, please help us and lets do this as a community. |

CGB Core Team Weekly Update - June 24, 2014Please also see the Reddit post for further discussion. Good day everyone. This update will have to be brief as we are extremely busy making preparations for CGB's 1st birthday on the 27th, and other media attention that we are putting in major overtime to make happen. Quite a few developments recently should be mentioned in no special order: We have a big favor to ask of the Cryptogenic Bullion community. We need donations. We are struggling to put together the funds for an ambitious professional marketing campaign. By next month, many of you will be shocked at the quality and exposure of our next big piece. For the ability to continue to fully capture the momentum we will need real funding. CGB is ready, CryptoTown is the face of the next big push. Your contributions could mean the difference between kicking off the party and waiting around for something to happen. This is a special appeal to anyone who may have the ability; don't just hold CGB, invest in it ( CGB Foundation). Details on Friday's party may be divulged shortly. The CGB Core Team |

Guys, absolutely love the debate and idea sharing here! My opinion, we should stay true to our initial mission, values and code. I just had a look at coinmarketcap, you know that 3 of the top 10 market cap coins are not mineable - at all?
I agree there is a place for highly inflationary coins, but there is also a place for the stable low inflation niche that CGB is creating. CGB was one of the first PoS coins, one of the first to implement the accelerated subsidy halving, one of the first to move to PoS as a higher payout than PoW. All coins (even Bitcoin) will at some point in their life cycle come to a cross road where they have to either move away from appeasing miners or change their code and word to their earlier adopters. We are just a trend setter here again.
CGB has, and in my opinion should continue to logically envision the path ahead and move proactively rather than in a reactionary manner.

CGB Core Team Weekly Update - June 16, 2014Please also see the Reddit post for further discussion.As we work to align CGB and our community efforts to the reality of the situation in the cryptosphere, our purpose has become more clear. We are hopefully approaching the end of the current loss of interest and capital in the overall crypto markets which has thrown aside so many coins which were not fundamentally sound enough to survive. If we are indeed approaching the next big leg up or not is a question that has no bearing on our direction. We are taking the bull by the horns and doing something that, to my knowledge, no other cryptocoin community has done. We see it all the time where advocates of one coin or another are baffled by how undervalued their coin is. They try to convince each other about how much better one or the other is and that capital should be placed here or there. There is a fixation on the price, which leads nowhere, and only makes a coin look less secure. What are we doing differently? We are building value (which precedes price) by directly tackling the problems which prevent that next big leg up from happening. We have discerned the next logical steps not only for CGB but for Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Peercoin, etc. It cannot be logically argued that "on the ground" adoption is not the next step that the cryptosphere should be putting its efforts into. We see a chicken and egg puzzle which requires capital to fund projects to push for cryptocurrency adoption, and yet the adoption is what will drive the next capitalization phase! This is to be solved by jump starting the process by bringing together the necessary intellectual capital to create a grassroots system which businesses and communities can use to deploy cryptocurrencies at little or no cost! We are creating a framework that anyone can use to give their coin "real world value" by facilitating adoption in a decentralized manner. How does CGB benefit? The biggest hurdle CGB has faced is education. With a complete system in place which clarifies the need for a "suite of coins" to facilitate a strong cryptoeconomy, the value of coins like CGB will naturally be extolled. We are not going to stand by and wait for a better world to come along which understands the hows and whys of cryptocurrency for CGB to thrive in. We will create it. The natural evolution of cryptocurrencies is what will drive the demand for and appreciation of CGB among others. In this endeavor we will leverage the reputation and image of CGB to lead the greater community forward in the spirit of collaboration, casting aside the petty differences that keep us all down. CGB will soon be known as a coin with a community of consultants, who value highly any opportunity to develop answers to questions that have not yet been asked. This is the consultancy culture. This is what will attract further thinkers who wish to find logical discourse to explore their own vision. Some latest updates to share with the community are regarding our search for developers, and our push for media attention. Artiface, our lead developer, is still in the middle of work and personal related time crunch which is as unexpected as it is unfortunate for us. He has conveyed hope that he will be able to come back to full potential within the next month or two. In the mean time we hope to leverage our publicity not only with CGB's birthday, but some real media connections that we are currently fostering, to expand our search. We expect that with our continued momentum building, we should be able to find more developer support within the greater community. We hope to be able to get some more widespread recognition of our ideas and progress in the coming weeks as these efforts come to fruition. We urge our community to put their own thinking caps on and make some comments especially in our development workshop threads. The CGB Core Team
