Also, did you see my post earlier on? Please take a look at it - I'd be happy to help in any way I can
"Right, this post is going to be long and tedious, but hopefully it will be worth the read. We've nearly finished the POW stage and there's no concrete plan for the coin so far. A no-premine coin has its advantages but also its disadvantages - this coin has to be pushed by the community. YOU are the community; no, not the guy posting above or below you, but you, the one who is reading this. Keeping that in mind is the first stage towards elevating BC - if we rely on others to do all the work, this coin will crash and die, which is a pity because I believe it's the best POW-to-POS coin out there, and not some Mintcoin/Zeitcoin crap with a huge pre-mine for the former (4%) and self-moderated topic for the latter.
So, how to push this coin? First of all, send 1% of your total holdings for bounties. The current bounties are simply not attractive enough; if you want to make money, you have to shell out money, that's a basic and fundamental law of economics. 1% is nothing to you but if every person sends out 1%, we can get the bounty pot up in no time. Bounties have been paid immediately from what I've seen so far, so there should be no fear of scamming or anything of the sort. After all, who in their right mind would steal an amount of BCs worth, let's say, $300 when in 2 weeks' time, with no tampering and honest trading, BCs might (and I believe they will) quadruple in value?
Next, presentation. The current website is crap, with all respect due to those who took their own time to create it and maintain it. I for one check websites before turning my miner onto a coin, since I'm not a pump-and-dumper but an investor. If the website is a 2-minute job, I look for other options straight away, no questions asked. We're dealing in a virtual environment here, and with nothing tangible, then the next best thing is online presentation. Screw that up, and you've shot yourself in the foot. Set up a bounty of 30k BC for a decent website and that should get the ball rolling faster.
Go ahead and stick BC in your sig. I for one have to do this as soon as I'm finished with this post; keep in mind that this thread is the most watched and the best means of spreading the word about BC. If people come on here and see a strong community behind this coin, and if people with BC in their sig post in other topics as well, why that's just great. Your sig might be the diference between an undecided newbie going for BC or some other crap alt-coin with no future ahead. As I said, this coin is community-driven and you have to do your part, just like everyone else.
Exchanges - forget Cryptsy for now, Cryptsy is only suitable for well-established coins with a set floor-value and a stable scenario set for a long time. We've already been introduced to way more exchanges than I'd personally like, and I'm afraid this might be detrimental to the coin if it's not handled properly. It's no use telling people to hold onto coins - this business is rife with teenagers who see a $20 profit as a Saturday night full of booze, and telling them not to dump is like telling them not to get all hot and bothered when a lass with a mini-skirt passes by.
There is an exception to what I've just said - btc38. Guys, you have no idea how much influential that exchange is. I've been in cryptocurrencies for nearly a year now, and ever since October, I've noticed a firm and steady trend - every coin which makes it on btc38 gets shot upwards. Oh by the way, just an aside: don't keep blabbing "to the moon, to the moon" like some infantile retard. That's the typical phrase for a pump-and-dump coin. We're not a P&D, but a coin with the potential to change the current game. Remember, it's all about presentation. Back to what I was saying - we need to attract the Chinese population to this coin. Spam every Chinese crypto-forum you know of with this coin, make them want it and most importantly, make them understand the potential of this coin. Even if you have to use Google translate, go ahead and do it.
Last but not least - usability. Is it possible that no one on here has an online small-time business going on? What's up? Start accepting Blackcoin as your preferred mode of payment! Even if it's a silly keychain or a soft-toy, people want to use their coins, especially with an interest-generated coin such as this one. Keep the initial capital, spend the interest - isn't this what it should be all about? Also, Dev should start thinking about the possibility for a BC-USD direct exchange. This has not been implemented yet with any coin afaik, at least not with any coin which has come out in the last 6 months or so. That would be a massive boost to BC.
If you've managed to read through all this, well done, you're a patient person.
Don't forget to send more BCs for bounties! Let's go guys!"
