The daily 24 hour volume was actually 11 BTC when it was at 500.

^ Sweet.  

Really encouraged by the swift feedback to my post. I think we can build a solid community here. That makes sense to wait for the new site, since I am thinking on the advert when people click on it we are probably going to send them to the blackcoin website anyway.

I also think that on this forum itself it would be good if we tell Mintcoiners about Blackcoin. Code wise they are very similar except Blackcoin has:

- No premine (bonus for us since it's cleaner)
- 1% interest rate instead of a silly 20% interest rate
- Bounties being well organised transparently + funded by the community
- Much smaller market cap so more room for growth

I suggest we spread the word to people interested in Mintcoin about Blackcoin, since they are likely to show interest if they already like the idea of Mintcoin.

Great work guys. Love the effort people are putting in. Please don't have a "was blackcoin instamined" section on the site. Dogecoin started at zero difficulty and billions were mined in the first week leading to 6 addresses holding > 50% of all the coins, yet no-one cares. Half the people who read the site won't even know what "instamining" is until we educate them.

I have some coins to contribute towards the bounties. But I am instead thinking of running an advertising campaign on reddit, for $200 you can reach tens of thousands of people.

I did some rough math and it works out at 10 million mintcoins generated a day by POS across the entire network. 10 million mintcoins is valued at 2 btc approximately right now.

Is that really him?

Theswede75 had a long history of being a bitter rude troll in the alt currency section of the forum. In fact before he joined this "project" his ignore button was bright orange, due to so many people having clicked ignore on his profile (presumably due to his annoying trolling). Of course, greedy investors paid no notice to that nor did any due diligence.When I saw him in this forum I made people aware he's a known troll but not a single person responded to my comments.

Discuss.

Feels like the dev is too busy running their mintpal exchange to put effort into this coin which is a shame.

You've actually got it backwards. Blackcoin has no premine, has well organised bounties and has a sustainable 1% interest rate, not 20% like mintcoin.

I own both but Blackcoin is superior imo, Mintcoin is getting more attention at the moment since it was launched with an exchange too - Mintpal.

If Mintcoin rockets, people who missed the boat will look for the next rocket and they will see Blackcoin which is basically a better version of Mintcoin, just less well known.

Mintcoin.

Why not look at Blackcoin source code? They are in the 100% pos phase now and not experiencing problems.

To be fair looking through your post history you were actually buying goxbtc:


You knew the risks and was betting hoping to make a big profit.

That's how blackcoin is right now.

Same. My order is now stuck and I can't cancel it.

I'm trying to execute an order for a different coin and it won't let me even though I have the btc funds.

(mintpal).

I think it's more the lack of sell orders. Sell orders have been looking very thin above 20 for a while. Only a couple of btc each.

Blackcoin already does this. Coins were distributed via proof of work mining and blackcoin is now 100% proof of stake (pos). No premine.

Mintcoin is also based on the same model but pays 20% interest. Has bigger dev team but was premined 1%.

Are you kidding me? Did you do any research on past Bitcoin exchanges hacks before auditing your code?

That exact same "hack" has been done on multiple exchanges in the past.

Another guy who's created an exchange but yet somehow doesn't know what a database transaction is... unreal.

Getting usage in extremely tiny marketplaces won't do anything.

Marketing is the key. See Doge, Quark, Vertcoin etc.

Once a pump starts it's a self fulfilling prophecy as it attracts more players into the market and word spreads.

I'm still deciding what to do with my Blackcoins. I am going to see how the next few days pan out. The sells look very thin and the POW miners have finished dumping so I expect to see a sharp climb upwards soon.

Hopefully you keep this project closed source as long as possible. As soon as you open source it, the value of Darkcoin will drop. Unless it's like NXT and so complicated all the shitcoin cloners can't easily replicate it.

Is their twitter account being DDOS'd too?
