[ANN] [TIX] Tickets | TIX/CNY Market on Bter | First on Cryptsy XPM Market

[SpeedDemon13]

cryptsy should have put it on ltc market too really.

The reasoning is a market less then LTC to trade on. Why not FTC at least? I don't see XPM getting any stronger in the near future. Now all this mining is worth crap now. Even on Bter, TIX is moving slow. I don't know, seem not too profitable now. Might have to just set back and wait or just take the losses. Not even worth all the electricity and time spent....

You have to realize with the number of coins available there needs to be some negotiation room up and down to trade, bter's btc market already reflects this, you can't buy in less for less than 0.00000001

LTC is a better match but it is limited as well.

Just wait and see how this pans out I guess. All I know is that I'm going to stop mining TIX now. When a coin isn't profitable enough to pay the electricity and put a little in the pocket for the time wasted, then it's time to stop.

I know you all know but i just wanted to make it clear that now the price for TIX is there in json format for everyone to utalize, get more services going = more people want tix = better tix price.

TIX is a unique crypto currency being the only scrypt-jane with random block rewards for the first several hundred thousand blocks. It is a collective effort of several prominent developers that have experience both creating and maintaining networks for coins. Not only does this provide solid coding for the coin itself, but also the knowledge and experience to keep the network going and patch any issues, should they arise.

The development team will remain anonymous at this point, but will continue to monitor and maintain both the code and network better than any other developer or development team can. Our team is comprised of individuals that are responsible for no fewer than 20 coins currently being exchanged. Mine and trade with confidence of instant transactions knowing that this coin is backed by the best, and only the best. We don’t want this coin to succeed based on our reputations of releasing very solid and profitable coins. This one will speak for itself!

Small Time Miner pool frontend isn't work, web page isn't loading. Not sure if the pool is still working....

You can all stop mining if you want. But this coin is golden for me. Look at how IFC came to be. Everyone thought it was a "scamcoin" etc, and then for a while it had one of the highest market caps in the top 5. I'm not even selling one of my TIX for a while. I got scammed by a fucking idiot named Macejia and lost 20mil, but I'm slowly getting it back, I've got 16mil now.

I love this coin, the dev is active, which is great. If you ever need anything TIX dev, just pm me or email be. I have a ton of resources at hand if you needed something.

Cheers,

How many coins per block and how many blocks per hour>?

[Lottery Tickets]

I agree. TIX should also be on LTC market at Cryptsy. There isn't enough XPM there to support all 3 of those coins

[iGotSpots]

Judging a coins performance on the first 20 something hours being traded is a good way to miss an opportunity

[r3wt]

dude, go to sleep tweeker!

[Lottery Tickets]

I kinda like the .00000001 Sells on Bter for BTC

Makes it feel like a $1 scratch off even though it's like fractions of a penny lol

[halibit]

I'm not worry about coin price now, small hashrate or limited TIX/XPM market.
I belive than if you dev still stand behind TIX and continue hard and good working, all other thinks will be solved.
I will continue mining and support your coin +++ and get good profits on later. Any way, all coins are so down and mining unprofitable so I gladly take this small risk and count on you.

Well done start, guys.
Give some time for TIX and you may get maybe best profit for your miners.

[bholzer]

There are simply too many coins out there and they are all devaluing each other to varying degrees. With TIX, you guys were taking a chance -- nobody guaranteed you'd be raking in cash as soon as it hit Cryptsy. It used to be everybody was buying up the latest coin to hit the exchange...but after being burned over and over and learning how this market works, you aren't going to make the quick buck off a new pump and dump coin like you could even 2 months ago. Difficulty shoots up with these new coins because everybody thinks they'll be rich by getting in early -- doesn't work that way anymore.

If you're mining anything besides BTC, LTC, XPM, MEC, CGB, FTC, or NVC...you're taking on a lot more risk...and you will likely lose money. Even those coins aren't necessarily a guarantee...but they represent stable coins that are likely here to stay for a while. At no point over the past 3 months was it not profitable to mine any of those coins. Mining anything else is clearly an attempted cash grab...because you're mining something with no services (to speak of), no real community support/etc -- everybody that was mining TIX was mining it trying to make a quick buck when it hit the exchanges. If you aren't in it for the long-haul...you might not even profit in the short-term. The people that "liked" TIX only liked it because they thought it was going to make them rich overnight.

People just need to think before they mine. I was green once too -- I was throwing 16 Mh into Elephantcoin when it first came out thinking it would be the next big thing...and by the time I realized it was a pump and dump coin that hired a bunch of randoms to promote it and campaign to get it on Cryptsy...I'd already wasted almost 2 weeks of mining (16 Mh/s for 2 weeks costs me about $500 in power.) I got out as soon as I knew what I was dealing with and switched to MEC. I missed the initial Elephantcoin pump and dump when it finally hit Cryptsy...and in the end sold all of my Elephantcoins for about $200 worth of LTC. If I had been mining something stable like LTC instead during that same time period, I would currently be at a net gain of about $1000 over those 2 weeks vs -$300 for mining Elephantcoin (a $1300 swing.) If I had been mining Megacoin during that period, I would have been up about $5000 based on current market value over those 2 weeks.

Basically...mining coins that aren't yet on a major exchange and have nothing special to offer outside of being "new" is a risk. Odds are, you will lose in the end. Every new coin isn't the next big thing anymore. If you want the closest we have to a sure thing, stick with BTC, LTC, XPM, MEC, CGB, FTC, and NVC.

There was a time when the people that have been mining TIX would have been considered optimistic...but now "naive" is the correct term.

I agree. TIX should also be on LTC market at Cryptsy. There isn't enough XPM there to support all 3 of those coins

If Cryptsy reason is to use a coin with less market value then LTC, then why not at least FTC. FTC would at least cover the value and supply then XPM. Sounds like XPM is just being pumped to increase value, but that is just my assumption.

I'm sure there's an angle. Cryptsy isn't a charity (nor should they be) -- they have to pay the bills and still turn a profit on top of it to keep things running. I'm just assuming there is a method to their "madness."

the angle is you will have to do 2x exchange to get your money in or out of TIX. A lot of hassle too, you are forced into buying xpm with your LTC at a price you don't really want for a start. I want to buy direct with LTC.

Good argument.
Are you right about TIX, we will see in few weeks I think.

With that, double fees with double exchanges....

Might be another angle as well. I guess just be happy they even listed it for now -- if it gets volume, I'm sure they'll listen. Obviously they didn't do it this way to win any popularity contests.

xpm does not deserve to have it's own market right now, maybe later. A sinking coin like that can not have a market since many people do NOT hold this coin. BTC/LTC are the big coins that people hold. Why the hell should we have to jump through hoops like this to get some new coins - totally annoying. For now i am using Bter for it anyway, but annoyed since now have to pull my loaded ltc back out of cryptsy.  Cryptsy makes very strange decisions....how the hell does a coin like orbit even get on any exchange it's hash is like 5mhs and that's the devs hash, it has never gone much above that and never will since people were rightly disgusted with the premine size.

You would think that the next coin to get it's own market would be FTC after BTC and LTC....Some kind of profit logic is behind it for making XPM a market....

BigVern has a large personal XPM wallet,  so he tries to pump XPM by creating a market for it.  The only logical explanation.
