[lite]

this is soo cool i remember when this coin got released haha i have 1000 gldcoins

Glad to see you're still holding your stash of gold!  

cheers! i got 1000 GLDs too.

I think when Goldcoin is worth more than BTC, you'll be very happy!  

$1000 per GLD will be awesome price to sell.

That's gonna be a challenge for a number of reasons but one of them is the excess inflation and dilution.

Is there a plan to cut the inflation and dilution back by a significant amount? 

Lots of top coins [Dark, Max, Start, NAUT, etc.] have done it so there is now a well established and accepted precedent.  I hope this is something that is at least being seriously considered.

Cheers!

Well ... I think that Goldcoin's future path should be determined by community consensus.

So I guess anything is possible over the next 120 years.

We are looking forward to this software.

The fund raising campaign has ended and now it's time to decide how to allocate the funds (expected to arrive first of April).

I vote that we continue fundraising, convert all collected funds into GLD, and lock the money down until the new client is released. We should be able to have a nice reserve of Goldcoins by the first of April if we all work together.

It would be great if we could get someone to volunteer to manage our mailing list. Anyone experienced with Mail Chimp?

Great! Things are really starting to liven up and we're going to need to expand our work force.

Later this week, I'll dust off our mailing list and in the mean time you could start getting up to speed with Mail Chimp.

Concerning CryptoCoinExplorer:  gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com

Over the last month or so, there has been more downtime then normal. This is due to server restarts by the server provider.

Before the recent incidents, server restarts were a relatively rare occurrence.When CCE 3.5 was written last year, unattended restarts were not a major consideration.
I do not run a startup script for CCE servers as I prefer to manually restart CCE 3.5 explorers.
This is to ensure the startup goes smooth as there are a couple of issues, though rare, that could come up.

Development of CCE 4 started a few months ago and the database loader is at a state that it could be deployed.
The CCE 4 database loader is very restart friendly and also much more fault/error tolerant then the CCE 3.5 loader.

In light of these recent events, I am going to write a modified version of the CCE 4 database loader that will work with CCE 3.5 databases.

This will allow me to confidently use a server startup script to start the explorers unattended whenever there is a restart.

The plan is to have this deployed over the weekend/early next week.

My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

[dreamwatcher]

Concerning the CCE explorer at: gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com

The new database loader has been patched into all the explorers and restart tests were done over the last few days.

I know it appears that CCE 4 is taking a long time in development, but I want to make sure that everything is running as good as possible and future improvements will not involve the amount of rewriting I am doing from 3.5 to 4.0. It took a couple of months to decide the final structure of the database loader for 4.0. The database loader is only half the equation, the web server is now the development focus and the part that will tested in the in public beta. I guess if one good thing came out of the retro fitting of 4.0, it is that the database loader code will be well tested even before the live beta.

I have decided to release a base version of the  database loader for 4.0 as open source. I have been taking time with the database loader (and its associated modules) to make it open source friendly.
This will most likely be released at the same time CCE 4 is deployed to take advantage of the PR opportunity. I think people might be surprised at how small the modules are for the loader, but it has always been one of my goals to create explorer code as lite as possible in both length and resources. There are 4 modules that make up the database loader and combined are just shy of 800 lines. I still have more to do with the statistics module, but what will be released in the open source version is there. The CCE 3.5 web server, which is the base of writing the CCE 4.0 web server, is composed of two modules and combined is a bit over 800 lines.

There are so many options being added to CCE 4 that most likely it will be offered in a tiered format. From very basic free explorers (text like with only a couple, if any, API commands) with advertisement type funding to a top tier with things like blockchain downloads updated weekly, coin client downloads, user accounts, advanced API features for statistics and "lite" clients , user and developer explorer customizations, coin website hosting and much more. Much of this is covered in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=922521.0
Once a larger chunk of the new features is finalized, I will  post them in the CCE 4.0 thread. Please offer any ideas for features you might want in that thread.

The point is, CCE 4 is going to be a different beast from CCE 3.5. It is turning out to be a complete rewrite. I believe in the end, it will be worth the wait.

Thank you for these updates and all of your hard work Dreamwatcher!

Is this the reason for why the price is dropping ? https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/XAU_BTC

Another gold type of coin with much less supply and inflation ?
