it is wayyyy too early to tell.

it may be a competitor with litecoin, which would be great in my opinion.

wait, before you speculate, but not too late.

Is there any movement/development/plans whatsoever for this coin to be spendable anywhere?

Its an awesome coin, a great first step to 'useful' PoW schemes, and has real innovation....but if there is no real future in being able to actually spend the coins on goods or services one day...what are people speculating on exactly?

Isn't it more a proof of concept, than potential valuable commodity?

Bitcoin was a proof of concept.

Fair enough....but crypto currency isn't a new concept anymore....just seems to be little/no movement to do anything with the coin outside of mining it and listing found primes.  Maybe I'm just missing it somewhere.

It's not even a month old. Give it time, people who see the value in it will create a market for it. Imagine people who will offer discounts for using Primecoin as payment?

price has crashed.

What website are you looking at?? Price is at .0126 on cryptsy, still higher than it was 24 hours ago (.01195).... not sure how that's a crash.

[sumantso]

Nobody knows what the price will be. Its not as if there are charts and trends to help.

If I knew I would have become very rich. As it happens I sold mine at 0.0029. Yeah, don't laugh at me, I am already banging my head against the wall.

You are smarter than me. I sold 94 at 0.002; then 94 at 0.0038 (was hoping to make back my earlier loss). Then I watched in horror as the price rocketed up and hung myself yesterday. You can find the undead version of me floating around at WDC chat.

Still holding 4 blocks though (got 1 today). I am not selling now. No sir, I have learned my lesson.

Making apartheid shops/services around whatever your pet pyramid/ponzi coin happens to be is not actually all that useful, especially to the people operating the shop or service if it, rather than the ponzi/pyramid itself, is their actual business, their bread and butter, their living, their children's college fund and so on.

It gets simpler and easier and cheaper all the time to accept any food anyone wants to put on your starving children's table, any scholarships anyone offers your kids, so to speak. That is, as an actual business that is actually in some business other than one or more pyramid/ponzi coin schemes, there is not even any actual need to pick and choose among coins or fiats or any other negotiable instruments, all one needs to choose is a payment processor who is willing to give you the kind of value / money / food / wealth / income you like, whether it be fiat or cryptocoins or whatever, who will handle all other things all possible customers might like to buy things with, be that ancient hoary coins of actual physical gold, Fed-printed dollars fresh from the presses, or the latest fad in e-currencies.

So really what providers of goods and services other than the service of payment processing choose to accept or not accept is pretty much a non-issue.

The nearest issues to it are what forms of payment are the best payment-processors able to process and which payment processors are the best...

best lesson is to hold 60% of mined loot and sell every day the rest (if price is not terrible)

i have changed 1000 ltc to 7 btc

Interesting. Makes sense too, I guess. Cheers for the tip.

Looks like some big buys are lined up for XPM at 0.07. Wouldn't be surprised to see a healthy bounce.

[bbxx]

15 minutes ago i sold all crapcoins for 0.15btc, bought 13 xpm at 0.0117

and now is crash below 0.011

just playing not trading, lol

Seems like some are making it a lot more dramatic than it really needs to be...

It's a brand new coin with a lot of hype (granted, well deserved hype). Crypto trading already consists of a shit load of volatility, even more so for something new like this.

I really don't see the point in worrying about hourly spikes and drops... that's bound to happen. It went down to .002 a few days again didn't take long at all to get back up there. I'm sure it will dip under .01 again at some point, and it will be no reason to freak out... it's going to be awhile before XPM is the least bit stabilized.

Edit: also, .017 to .0126 is not a 40% crash.... try 25.88%. Bitcoin was a 42.30% crash at the price marks you provided.
