Imo stop giving away LBRY to attract users.

Probably 100+ cryptos have tried and failed to use this as a method of bootstrapping. They normally base this strategy on how it worked for companies like PayPal but PayPal used separate cash not liquid shares.

Most cryptos who apply this strategy lose 80% of their value during their main give-away push. (While a $5 give away seems cheap or a $500k spend on say a $25 million valuation, start-up shares have very limited liquidity and price support so $500k worth of sells can drive the valuation down by many millions which then further discourages investment.) Not to mention crypto give-aways are heavily gamed so the acquisition cost of $5-10 probably easily translates to $100+ for each real new user when taking into account impact on share price and fake accounts.

The best marketing and adoption tool in crypto is a rising token price. Everyone will want to be part of an uncensorable YouTube and if inflation and give-aways are curtailed, the price will rise which will garner more and more exposure and attention creating a steam-roll effect in the right direction.

They need to make a platform popular for lots of users. And giveaway is a really good way to do that. The dumping of free coins is just a tradeoff for making platform more popular IMO.

yeah totally agree, before I have  acc and each week get free 2 lbc when watching video , but now they ask credit for it no way I give them or any site my cc, really bad because it will make coin become untrust to use when they have info

"popular for lots of users" look at the quality of the user it attracts, I am sure these people will improve the community... I can't believe they are still giving away coins like this. hand crafted inflation, great way to attract new users. Every one will queue in to buy a coin that consistently looses value...

Does anyone know when the LBRY will release its final platform, not the beta which is already out? At the moment the trend of the coin is pretty obvious since it's a while that the dev is not realising any relevant news. I wouldn't sell a single coin because in the coming months there are many conferences going on like devcon in November and many altcoins will be affected positively.

Hi, when i click on the links in the emails i receive weekly it appears in the lbry interface error message saying there is nothing there, i had this happening before and after the update to the last version 0.15.0.1784, care to fix it? I use macos sierra.
PS: whenever i click on a video i get a error popup then after sometime the video downloads normally.

I invested in LBRY on 22nd june when it was pumping from 17th june 11.27 worth of bitcoins and at that time LBRY reached 92 cents, Now my bitcoins are worth 2.5 and I am one the biggest bag holder of these, Guess it was my start in trading and I have learnt the hard way, I thought and believed this to be a great project but I don't know why this particular project has not recovered, All other altcoins have been recovering but not this particular one. Guess I will remain the bag holder of it till my 30k+ lbc becomes same worth as I invested in.

That's rough, I just hope you didn't put all your Bitcoins into one coin and you have plenty more. I did that once back when I was a noob and I lost it all. Everything, because I was desperate to make money. I'm just glad I was able to start over from the beginning and make a sort of a comeback.  

It's what I really hate about the Crypto business, the idea that people can lose so much.

You can sell them to me and I'll sell them back to you at .00019

I've enjoyed watching the hype deflate from this coin. Buying my first slug right now. Devs will post some BS sooner or later and up we go.

So you enjoy benefiting from other's people's misery. As in you find glee in it.

Can't do much about that, some people are just like that in this world.

I haven't bought any LBRY so I don't have any that I can sell you.

When you see the SELL order numbers ( 116731 LTC) in Poloniex compared to the BUY order numbers (630 BTC) you definitely know that you can't survive in front of those LBC WHALE owners. They are PUMPING & DUMPING & you can't do anything about that. This coin is ranging around $0.25 to $0.45 & may be $0.60, nothing more than that, nothing will make the coin reach the $1.00 any sooner, at least for next 6 months.

Is this lbc dead? Been holding for a long time now

Have you tried to use the platform? Definitely suggest trying it out if you are holding and deciding if it's a platform you'd want to use...

ouch!!

im really sorry for you loss BUT it's not a loss unless you sell!! i was in a very similar situation in 2014 when i bought vericoin almost near its top and held the bag for a long time

you gotta look on the bright side, even though your down on your BTC investment, the price in BTC is going way up so your recouping your losses just because BTC is worth more.

my advice to you would be to accept that you are a long term holder of LBC and you should try to avg down by buying and trading.

..last little bit of encouragement..i sold all my vericoin early this year for a 2 BTC gain just because i held over the years and staked and traded the coin actively. if you just keep your head up and dont give up and sell you will get back in the green. just be grateful that you are bag holding a legit project and not one where the dev bails and coin goes to zero

Appreciate your advice. I can be a bag holder for this one and will trade in other coins till it gets back to my original amount of btc ATLEAST.

I still like LBC, we need to wait until final release.

I tried to use the suprnova pool in claymore but the miner keeps closing whenever I open it. Is this still compatible with claymore?

Please check out https://lbry.io/faq/startup-troubleshooting

Usually, this means LBRY got stuck in the background and needs to be killed manually.  A simple re-run of LBRY should work after doing so.
