We're 5th now. Not far from 4th. Keep voting and we could be listed soon.

Diff going up up up.

Better get your fcks while you still can. When these are over 10 Satoshi each you'll wish you mined them right now.

Think prices are good now?

Wait until the next block halving. 

Some people are obviously trying to drive down the price, but the coin is too rare to be pushed that low. The more it gets dumped the fewer overall weak hands there are. These people are going to be crying when the value rockets.

I remember a guy on these forums posting about how he dumped Litecoin for a few hundred dollars, and if he held on he'd have $80,000 or so worth.

I have more than enough other coins to play speculation games with. PMC is a long-term investment. Just look at how active our developer is. Look at how active the community is. Things are happening every week. Anything under 0.001 right now is laughable.

I guess it's always the case that some people don't know what they have until it's gone. I won't pity them when we see 0.01.

No hard fork required. PoS is already in the coin as far as I'm aware. Minting may not start until after the block halvings. So 5 weeks from when Mint launched. I believe your coin still mature (age) until then, but the devs would need to clarify these other points.

PoS works by working out how old your coins are. The age resets when they move. Age starts from when the coins enter your wallet.

Coins that have matured will go into Stake in your wallet and you are effectively PoS mining with your stake. Think of it like a hashrate, but the block rewards depend on the size of the stake. After that those coins move back to your balance, their age is reset and it goes on like that. The more you mine now the more frequently you will mint due to the spread of different coin ages,

PoS takes over as the dominant mining process, and as coins age at from the point they were mined, someone will always be minting somewhere to generate new network blocks. To 51% attack with PoS you'd need to hold 51% or more of all Mint,

I think I'll have a play on Wix this weekend. I actually learned HTML and CSS last year. Pity I found it so boring. 

Well before you pay for anything I'll take a look a Wix.com. Only pay if it's custom developed web code.

I also know a web dev. I'll have a chat with him.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. We need a slick website and we need to be shouting about the huge benefits PMC has over other coins. Thankfully we have a great developer who listens to the community, so we need to keep the ideas coming.

I like the blue one in the middle. The other two look edible. 

I did suggest that the coin be promoted towards trolls; I'm not versed in trollonomics, so I don't know where they hang out these days, but if we want Trollcoin to be..well, in the hands of trolls, then to me it seems to make sense that we get a few hardened individuals to go spread the good word, so to speak, in those places trolls reside.

Under proverbial bridges and the like.

People "tip" one another for good deeds. I'm not sure tipping people for trolling is the smartest idea in the world, but at least it'd be fitting to the name.

Personally, I'd much rather some sort of Troll army that used its trolling abilities to poke fun at other altcoins. It could be a force for good by weeding out scamcoins and crapcoins and putting people on the right path of Trollcoin.

Well there are plenty of online companies that can produce proper cards with embossing on and whatnot if we wanted to create some. If it wasn't too expensive, and if the devs could handle it, then we could do a group buy to cover the costs of getting them printed maybe.

We'd probably need a few hundred people at least to make it worthwhile, though. I still think it needs a QR code or something to that affect to have any future usability.

Unless it was more like a fancy paper wallet. You could do that in the style of cheques which anyone could print off.

Perhaps not. It was just an idea. 

It's not like you could use it at a bank. It would be cool to have a card with a QR code/wallet address on for real world exchanges though.

Just me fooling around with a card template. I liked the idea of a fckbankscard. (Yes that is my wallet address) 

Pity we don't have QR codes. Be pretty nifty to print these onto card to keep in our wallets.  

Very well. I'll create a more secure password and do that.  

Just need to finish up on some work and I'll get right on it.

That would be cool, but he doesn't have a great many subscribers. Props to what he does, but it seems like an expensive way to reach a small audience. PMC shouldn't have to pay to be spoken about like that. It should be interesting enough on its own merits for to be talked about. I guess it depends on how much PMC we're talking. Anything over a couple of hundred would be too much.

I got the wallet working, but the official faucet kept giving me an error. I also probably didn't create a particularly strong password.

Any recommendations on what level of password strength/entropy are required for a sufficiently strong password?

I'm merely curious about NXT. I'd like to see what I could do with it. I actually know some Java but never really had any incentive to keep learning it.

I wasn't actually defending nor criticising your points. I was simply suggesting you back up your claims with sources.

The huge centralisation issues caused by some stakeholders holding an extremely large amount of NXT is a rather big concern. Other than that I know very little about NXT.

Burden of proof is on the person making the claim, not those challenging it.

For that to happen sell walls will need to move up and buys will have to buy up the current walls. If it becomes rare enough I believe it could be possible. There's a lot of coins on the exchanges right now. One of the disadvantages of the speedy block halving until the minting process is that you need the distribution to be quick, however I believe the current prices are misleading, as this is what happens when a coin is released on exchanges early on; it gets dumped. It's true of any Cryptocurrency.

What people aren't taking into account is the scarcity principle. If enough people came along and bought up the current Mint with a few BTC, what do you think will happen to the price? It will go up. But it would then go straight back down. Why? Difficulty and coin generation.

But..

Once the block rewards reach 1 (or end entirely. I'm still not sure sure on this point), there will be no more huge influx of mined coins to dump, so the downward pressure on the price will decrease significantly, and with the increased scarcity, the value of holding mint due to the minting process, and the inability to crash the price as it increases due to an inability to mass dumping, it all adds up to a coin that looks worthless now, but I assure you it will not in a few weeks.

I feel loathe to explain this as I'm still mining as much Mint as I can before this happens, but I just wanted to explain exactly what's going to happen before it does happen. If only to say "I told you so".

Enjoy these early days.
