If XMR continues to lose market share, this coin will never achieve any traction.  Investors will not buy it if XMR continues to languish.  

I can't run bitmonerd in linux... can anyone point me to a fix?  Or give a command line fix?  TIA!  - Zohann

All the symptoms above are the same for me!  Glad I checked on here.. was about to do a wipe and reload from recovery seed.  Something must be down on the site.

I emailed support about it a few mins ago

This isn't a scam, and I apologize for being frustrated last night.  The relief effort is actually going quite well.  We're working with the distribution centers to get a coinbase or bitpay account so that funds can be sent to them directly. We'll have a press release out soon.

Please help if you can.

Did you go to the FB page?  Its not fake.. this is a small town!  Most of them don't know wtf Bitcoin is, so its pretty embarrassing that I conviced them to put up a bitcoin address and noone is donating.    Sad really.  I don't give a fuck, I did what I could to help.

Please all of you. This is a small town that now has a BTC address on their FB relief page and no donations..  They have no idea what bitcoin is.  A dollar each or something.. most of them doesnt know wtf it is.  Show them!  That's how adoption happens.  Give a fraction of a dollar.. whatever.  It'll show them what it is!

Thanks,

Zohann

Thank you all.. I grew up near this town and have alot of friends there that need help.

Thank you,

Yes I do...I want to trade it for btc.  I'm kinda on the fence about trading now.. or getting it graded first.  I looked at it under a magnifying glass.  I am not an expert but I think it will grade very high.

yeah.. way over.  About 2100 USD. 

I'd have to do the conversion... but traded 60 oz of silver and 1 oz of palladium for it.

I'm not going to sell it for less than I bought it for.  Would just keep it.

You're probably right.. I might be a little over zealous.  I was just excited to have one in such beautiful condition. I'll send it off for grading as soon as possible and post the quality when I find out.

Thats it..  its gorgeous!

Its immaculate.. hologram perfectly centered.. no scratches or nicks.. a tight imprint from the press

My intention is to get it graded first... I believe its MS69 possibly 70

Probably escrow... or I'll put up on ebay.  The coin is pristine.. sec pics incoming.

I just received a 2011 Casascius coin fully loaded.  The coin is in mint condition.. which grading service is best?  and are there any offers?  I'd only trade for BTC.

Cheers,

Zohann
