[ANN] Terracoin (TRC) - Est 2012

[hanzac]

Maybe we need to launch our own exchange in the name of foundation, for people to exchange between TRC and other cryptocoins.

Maybe we need to launch our own exchange in the name of foundation, for people to exchange between TRC and other cryptocoins.

I want to get on bitsquare.  A decentralized exchange would be awesome.

Also an exchange ran by the foundation would be nice.  It would take a lot of work though, and we need decentralized governance for that.

We just need to keep spreading the word until the new code is done.

June 22nd Terracoin Update - Static

Real quick

The developer (Ahmed) working on implementing the DASH code says he is on schedule!  We also are continuing to work on the website and guides.

Masternodes

We have been discussion the masternodes on Slack and we have decided not to have the collateral amount lower every two months.

The collateral will be static at 10,000 TRC.

We have decided to do this because if people have to mess with their masternodes all of the time it can cause a loss of income.  There also was some concern that it punishes early adopters.

We are still dedicated to making sure that as many people as possible can partake in the masternode rewards.  The Terracoin Foundation will be setting up masternodes where you can get a share of the masternode for 1,000 TRC.  This number will probably change in the future as the cost of TRC rises.  This way we can have a flucuating amount of TRC needed while not causing everyone to have to constantly reset up their masternodes.

We also will be working on partnerships with 3rd party masternode hosts and people who will offer shares of a masternode.  That way you can have a variety of options.

Feel free to join the discussion on slack!  This link is regenerated every week: https://join.slack.com/terracoin/shared_invite/MjAyNDM4NDYwMjkzLTE0OTgxNzgyNTgtNWY1ZWM5MTliNw

Bittrex = Pump

We would love to get on higher volume exchanges but until we have decentralized governance and proposals we just don't have the donation power to pay for the entry fee.

This is what I suggest.

Everyone who wants to get on a higher volume exchange like Bittrex should buy a bit of Terracoin then donate a bit of Bitcoin.  When Terracoin goes up in price from being on a higher volume exchange, and from the code we are implementing, you can sell some of your TRC stash and make some money.

Just an idea.

I say NO to mastrenode 10.000 TRC, its not for new people, its to much.  IMHO, two speed (or match) masternode is best new for this coin, for 10k masternode is mined 1 trc, for 1k mined 0,1 trc, is best new features. Its scalable mining, and ist stil my masternode, not share.

I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting.  I think you are saying you want scaling rewards, so if you have 10K masternode you get 10x what a 1K masternode would get?

The problem with having masternodes with different prices is how masternodes are paid out.  The rewards are randomly paid out to each masternode and since it is random the rewards are eventually spread out to all the masternodes.  They pay out the same amount to each masternode.

Also voting would then be impacted.

I don't think it is really doable at this time, but the share option is doable at this time so we decided to work towards that goal.

[clockuniverse]

It's nice to see that clock still working hard for TRC. I also wish I had had some more TRC. At some point I owned around 200000, but many got lost in Cryptsy :/

Thanks!  I lost a little bit on Cryptsy.  I got paranoid a week or so before it went down and removed almost all of mine.

The Cryptsy coins are back in the world again though.

When I run 1k masternode will ming reward 10 x less than 10k masternode. Scaling the reward of the size of the masternode, that no other coin has.

It is because of how the rewards are paid out.  It currently doesn't work with the system if the masternodes are different.  I will add it to the future feature list!

Even now to buy 10k trc doesnt pay too much. Probably halving will play some role in price and then update.

On cryptopia, TRC/BTC price was 0.00001289  and then i placed an order to buy TRC @ 0.00001291. After 10mins the price jumps to 0.00001295 but my order was not executed

I am not familiar with cryptopia but at which price should set my order?? if the current price is 0.00001289 to buy TRC quickly

You need to set mid price (sell price + buy price / 2) to have high possibility to get filled in short time. Otherwise, you will wait.

It looks like it is cheaper on C-Cex right now, but what usually happens is that when you put in a buy order bots will jump your price to stay on top.  Like Hanzac said you usually just have to wait for someone to come along and dump through the bots to get your buy order.  Or you can keep jumping them, but you will end up paying more.

June 29th Update - World

One of the main goals of The Terracoin Foundation is to help out the world through donations to worthy causes that affect everyone on the planet.

In the future we will have the ability to use the decentralized governance to put in proposals that will benefit world wide non-profit organizations.

In the mean time we have had some generous donations to get the ball rolling.

We have had a total of 80,000 TRC donated to our special "Donations for the World" address.

We will be giving away this Terracoin in chunks of 20,000 to non-profits once TRC hits $1 USD.

We do need your help though!  We need to decide on which non-profits we want to donate to.

We are looking for non-profits that benefit the whole world.

Currently we are pretty sure we want to donation the first 20,000 TRC to http://www.whoi.edu/.

If you have ideas about which non-profits we should donate to then please post.

If you want to help the world out then feel free to donate to the Donations for the World address:  1BQH6gBzkxxyMQG3VSJCHnmVGfWu64nbPL

With each chunk of 20,000 TRC donated we gather we will add another non-profit to the list.

Once Terracoin averages $1 USD for a week we will start giving away the donations.

Thanks for the donations so far!

Reward halving ≈ 35 Days

30 days ago we were at 0.00000634 BTC (.0145 USD) and today we are at 0.00001493 BTC (.0374 USD). In the past 7 days we have not went over the 20 cent (USD) price goal.

Because of low volume we are ranked 447 (it would be around 313 with higher volume) on coinmarketcap with a market cap of $763,429 USD. Last week our market cap was $749,921 USD.

This coin should be promoted again in new pages under different languages, I just found out about this coin 3 weeks ago and I am pretty sure not many people know about this coin.
Reach out to Chinese, Filipino, Indian community again. Bringing in more people will create more volumes with buying and selling, and increasing the market cap as well.
Don't forget to mention the November 2013 high price and this coin is still here after 5 years including the Dev.
Now is the right opportunity to buy more coins at low price because once the price starts to rally, $ 5 will be on sight and of course after hovering around $ 1
Reward halving also will play an important role over the next few days bringing the price much higher.
So Buy, Buy, Buy..

We have a Filipino one, but it looks like it hasn't gotten any posts.  I will talk to our guy and see if he can update it.  I would love to have a Chinese, Indian and Korean ANN.  Send anyone who wants to volunteer to do translations my way.  Thanks!

Hm, since when has NovaExchange re-enabled TRC?  I must have missed this detail

Even in the winter! And if to be exact - January 7, 2017.
