Hello all! New to the forum and cryptocurrencies, and with a few hours of spare time on my hands, i decided to give the GRA logo a shot .. Hope im not too late? I am no photoshop professional, more of an amateur hobbyist, but still .. Thanks to Maconi for the inspiration for the grain-thingy in the circle. I went with gold, perhaps not that original, but it kinda is the color of wheat/grain, and in my opinion it looked nicer then the brown from Maconi's picture A. Personally I also prefer the one with the letters over the one with the plain edge. I am ofcourse open for suggestions, improvements, comments, etc. Let me know what you think, changes are no problem ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Picture 1 1024x1024: https://i.imgur.com/4b73wYM.png![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4b73wYM.png&t=663&c=MvzH8XqWjYPEoQ) Picture 2 1024x1024: https://i.imgur.com/VpuGAnt.png![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVpuGAnt.png&t=663&c=Sl5Yw5ztLv2Arw) Picture 3 1024x1024: https://i.imgur.com/UR5hbhq.png![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUR5hbhq.png&t=663&c=pN8LcAJZnoJsew) Picture 3 with reflection 1536x2048: https://i.imgur.com/70GnNdlh.png![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F70GnNdlh.png&t=663&c=v7T9d321FXoeXg) Myself, I like picture 3 best.

Sorry for the delay, like I said it's been forever since I've touched Photoshop so I'm a bit rusty ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) lol. Probeer's coins look awesome, glad I could inspire someone to recreate that design. I've been working on another design that caught my eye, more options never hurt anyone ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) lol. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FZ1mukJj.jpg&t=663&c=biknGmhA5hk6fw) Let me know what you like and don't like. I tried to make the gold realistic but can make it more yellow to reflect the "grain" aspect. I also had no idea what to make the background color so I just made it brown to help show off the gold rather than distract from it. I could also put something around the edge of the coin (text or what not) and/or change the texture of the gold. Just limme know. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ] ___________________ Just for reference, for this design I took inspiration from these: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcomps.canstockphoto.com%2Fcan-stock-photo_csp9514906.jpg&t=663&c=abGFXVCgaabcog) (top 3 grains) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic4.depositphotos.com%2F1030387%2F398%2Fv%2F450%2Fdepositphotos_3984967-Chrome-Wheat-Grain-Button.jpg&t=663&c=7lzCg0ydAoV4HQ) Thanks to the simple design I was able to recreate it with simple shapes. As long as I don't have to draw I'm good to go lol.

Question though does anyone have any idea on how to price a new coin? I would place fair market value at 1.20 USD per 10,000. Lol actually i was wondering on how calculations are normally done...

Question though does anyone have any idea on how to price a new coin? I would place fair market value at 1.20 USD per 10,000. Lol actually i was wondering on how calculations are normally done... I pegged the value on Litecoins. 1.20 USD per 10,000 Grains is the same returns you would get if you were mining Litecoins instead of Grains. Seems like a good way to do it. I would say that they actually have to be more valuable than litecoins to be worth mining, though. I can turn around and exchange litecoins in 15 minutes, whereas there's a pretty good chance a brand new altcoin may never even make it to an exchange (or could have a fork, or the devs could abandon it, etc). If they're equal in value, why would anyone mine the way riskier option? I think that's a big reason why all the smaller alts are more profitable than BTC/LTC mining.

I'd say pre-exchange coins will always worth more than LTC if it goes to exchange (at least initially). This is like the pre-IPO stocks. Because some will never make it to exchange, they are higher risks thus higher reward.

I noticed that too. Time Since Last Block:3 hours 57 minutes 58 seconds Something is messed up, stop mining there till its resolved. pool may be stuck... may need a reboot. Coin network chain is fine. fitsbach can you please check? Also please vote for the GRA new logo at the poll thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369348.0

Fork pool's working well, whilst its a shame there's temporary problems with the original pool it's actually likely a good thing - mining will be split across more pools going forwards... Yet another improvement ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm really glad with the positive feedback on the logo, thanks guys! I didn't want to mess up the logo poll topic with a new version, but I made a few adjustments so it looks even better (higher resolution, and more prominent text when scaled). So I thought I just post it here .. I also followed paladin281978's advice and changed the text to GRAIN - GRA - GRAIN - GRA .. etc. Ofcourse I can change it back. (Or for example change the grain field background if it's too complex, but that's of later concern ..) Without white background or shadow http://imageshack.us/a/img594/2363/0j08.pngWithout white background but with shadow http://imageshack.us/a/img69/6638/j70o.pngWith white background and shadow http://imageshack.us/a/img7/6476/s3mn.pngAnd one with a plain centre (no grain field), without background and shadow https://i.imgur.com/ce0WFfl.pngSo .. please all vote in the poll topic! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
