I've come across
https://coinex.pw/ which exchanges minor alt / digital coins into major (BTC / LTC) coins (and vice versa) - a major pitch to trade SXC would be that on that site you can bank your coins there and also mine on that site (currently no fee - no doubt that'll change) but it can be pitched to punters that they can buy BTC elsewhere then through
https://coinex.pw/ make their purchases with SXC which won't show up on their wives credit card statements (or theirs)
Taken from the CoinEx Thread:GoldCoin (GLD) is now listed. Mining pool is also up.
and when are you adding SXC?
Perhaps it would be better to wait... Theres things I can't say, but everybody knows we are working on a new client. We've put our heads together and we want to give the new client features that a cryptonerd would find underwhelming, but the webcam girls we are now consulting with find quite useful and exciting. Anybody can bring out a coin, and beg an exchange to take it and have it listed in a few days. To create a coin that has utility, and therefore value in the real world takes a lot of work and forethought, and time in development.
Last time I posted in this thread we were at 8.5M/h now we are at 12-15 M/h. We are growing not dying, and we are operating in a heavily saturated market space. We aren't in a hurry because being listed on the exchanges doesn't mean we've made it. We can build exchanges if we need them. Creating a great client and a buzz in the industry leading to real world adoption means we've made it.
Here's the deal:At the moment I'm solo mining on rig four with the lastest client in alpha. It's the third sent to me for testing this week, and has changes from the last one that don't deal with problems, but deal with new features. Of course without proper testing for a while on a testnet, we can't be sure the problems are fixed. And we want a reputation for bringing out quality, hassle free updates.
We don't need to approach the exchanges, I'm willing to risk my "Devship" and break ranks by telling you an exchange in alpha, and an exchange that is under development,
have approached us. We want the new client and new logo out first.
One of the workers that we contacted in the adult industry has also approached us in regard to setting up a site that uses SXC, but thats fendles call, right now he's moving residence.
We promised a clean client, as far as we could get without a hardfork, and we delivered.
We promised a pool, and put a p2pool thats so far been fair and reliable when the pool needed major recoding.
We then delivered a pool that is monitored 24/7 in a datacenter by a human being, has not only battery backup, but generator backup, has been completely reworked to use accounting grade cross-method database block tracking and has a consistant backup schedule. It can take
Gigahashes thrown at it.
If you miners knew how many pools skip blocks and dump the proceeds into the operators purse, you'd be angry as hell. The U.S. courts consider crypto's money, and they'd probably consider the "PPLNS" payment schemes posted on those pools as legally binding agreements. God help the pool operator who is knowingly taking money from miners pockets and "laundering" it through exchanges they also own... Thats something we don't want to be associated with, and thats an example of how far we try to look ahead, even if it's not likely to be an issue.
But I digress.. now we are working on the client and then we will work on inclusion on exchanges.
It hasn't been easy, there's been allnight sessions getting things right, and real world things like jobs and families to attend to while fatigued. I keep saying we work hard, but I think most people dismiss it as PR. This weekend I was supposed to be finally spending quality time with my partner, instead I'm communicating to you, and she's heading off to a funeral without me.
I guess the reason I'm divulging all of this when we have a "No coming soon" announcements policy, is I feel a little disappointed that the trust in our hardwork, honesty, dedication and longterm planning that we have tried to build hasn't made itself apparent. In fact gr33ks pool seems to have dissapeared and our hashrate is down to about 8 M/h. Though thats probably not unusaul considering the crapcoin, get rich quick, overhyped scam-ridden environment that prevades the cryptocommunity at the moment.
I can't make people understand our values, I can't make people trust our judgement, I can't make people respect or recognise our hard work.
But I can believe in what we are doing, I can put my money where my mouth is by keeping my hashrate on the network, and I can keep putting as much time and effort into the coin as possible.
But there's only so much we can do in a day...
