I'm confused, if the value is nose diving on MintPal, why would you think it would you think it would be attractive to Cryptsy or anyone else (even mintpal if they didn't already have it)?  

Please enlighten me as to the process of selection other than the monetary incentive.

thanks

Value of the coin makes no difference, exchanges makes money based on the amount of trades.

The value isnt nose diving. its actually going up, most of the dumpers have already dumped, and they cant get more unless the buy or multipool at hashcows

Please explain what "actually going up" means to you?  Because I don't see any upward momentum only a lot of enthusiasm (represented by volume) to have the opportunity to buy lower than the next guy.  

What is the motivation to buy higher if you could buy 30 - 50% lower if you simply wait a few minutes?    It's now at 2.5 Satoshi, likely will be 1 Sat in two days, when that is bought out, what happen then, common sense says it hit rock bottom and must go up, but that isn't true.  It simply means an end to the BTC tie, so it simply goes to LTC and keeps going down as long as people think there is a future for the coin.  

Please explain how the CC actually (as defined and understood by most people) goes up in value.  Or if it is easier for you, please explain why it would stop going down in value?

thanks

We were bouncing between 1 to 2 satoshi for quite a while, so the notch up to 2 to 3, even small... is indeed an increase.  It has proven to be a slow climb from the start, simply because of the sheer amount of coins that have been mined - nearly all 11.52 billion.  I'm sure there are plenty of people who will dump their mined TOP once they reach their exit point, so we will probably see this at all levels of value.  However, if we continue building the coin, community, and purpose, then the lower sell walls could easily evaporate with stronger hands realizing the potential for higher growth.

The community and devs have been focused and active, bringing new things to Topcoin consistently.  Sure, we could head back down for a bit, but I just don't see it happening.

Thanks for your reply, I suppose if your starting point is 2 and you see some occasional 3  that would be 'up', however that would be an extremely distorted picture of reality, let's start with this snap shot:



I don't know if it shows the whole picture, but it certainly shows all that is available via Mintpal.

In it we see, a starting point of 2 that went to a high of 4, as the days pasted the value grew to 10, then a few more days later it grew as high as 16, then from there it has nose-dived to 1 and 2 only to occasionally peek/peak at 3 or 4.    

What is the short-term action plan (1 month) to get the value of TOP up and over 10 again?  Keep in mind that whatever was the old story to get you where you got to 10 the first time should not be recycled, because apparently that is now old news.

You want to get on Cryptsy, what has TOP's performance been since it's acceptance on other exchanges?  Do you feel you have outgrown those exchanges?

I see the volume, that is good but it is heavily concentrated below 10, as if those who seek to sell want to sell NOW, whatever the price.

In short, TOP is not ready for cryptsy, and and is in jeopardy of being delisted from mintpal if the performance continues in that direction, you may think its ONLY about the money, but it's actually about performance.  Everyone wants a winner, and no one wants to be known for hosting losers.

You got a big opportunity with Mintpal make it shine, make Cryptsy want to contact you because of TOP performance -- don't call yourself TOP while performing at the bottom.

No more excuses, make your opportunity at Mintpal count.

No problem, and thank you for the response as well.  First of all, these aren't excuses that I'm providing, simply painting the picture for anyone who is interested.  The chart shows nearly the ENTIRE life of Topcoin.  It was created on 2/2/14, and was accepted on Mintpal pretty quick among other exchanges.  We experienced one big pump on Mintpal which you noted, and there were some folks who came out winners, some losers - we all know how pump and dumps work, right?  Similar things happen to coins that hit Cryptsy (funny I should mention this, eh?) - they get the initial boost of reaching a larger crowd, and then usually come back down to earth.  Some keep going down, some correct and level out or continue going up.  Personally, and this is just my opinion, I would kind of like to stay near the top of Crypsty's coin list, but I am wishy washy about being listed there - simply for what I just covered in this paragraph.

What is our short-term action plan?  To get above 10 in 1 month?  I highly doubt that will happen...  and I've never promised that to anyone, for that matter.  As I stated before, we will have very slow and steady growth because of miners who are simply burning TOP when they deem it necessary to either cash out or invest in other coins.  To think that isn't happening, would clearly be madness, but I have faith in our growth as a 2 month old coin and community.  We're better than some that have been around for MUCH longer.  But that is all a matter of opinion, is it not?  Anyway, short term...  I have been working with a team of fellow community members (I am not an original dev, I came from the community) and we are brainstorming and scoping out some projects for Topcoin.  We are going to work on improving our marketplace at Top Swap, coordinating some marketing campaigns, securing new talent to help develop, and I have a pet project that may or may not be ready in the 1 month time-frame.  All of these things will be transparent and up for community comments and suggestions - they are listed here on our reddit wiki, I just marked two completed items off the list... http://www.reddit.com/r/topcoin/wiki/index

Throughout all of these projects, our dev has been right there to assist us in every way possible.  We know we can trust him and the team he has behind him, as they have not failed us once.  I don't completely agree with the decision to push for Cryptsy right now, but it is nice that we can have differences of opinions and work through them without any issues.  If we get added, awesome...  I'm prepared to help in any way I can to make that a positive thing.  If we don't for a while, then I get my way and will still be prepared to help in the interim. 

Some will still sell, regardless of our plans and our dedication to executing them.  Shrug, not much I can do except keep working for those who decide to stick around for the long haul.  Hopefully I've helped answer some of your questions...  and if I missed anything, please let me know.  Thanks for being polite and sharing your comments/questions...  I really enjoy a good conversation and fresh insights

crymzyn, I'd like to know who make up the leadership for Topcoin?   What I mean by leadership is:

1) those who feel comfortable referring to themselves in that way,
2) those who are recognized by others as a Topcoin leader,
and or
3) those who are provided with a leadership title,

I have some ideas for the cryptocurrency that will likely increase its overall value.

Sure, no problem... As far as I know, it is myself and topdude.  There are a few others that have been helping, but not sure if they are taking leadership roles - definitely a few that I would like to see fill those shoes.  Certainly would love to hear your ideas, and possibly you can join us in executing them

Shoot us a PM and we'll go from there.

50 coins will feature which are on bitcointalk at "cryptocurrency "the alt-ernative"". Topcoin reached the top 50 after the poll vote. I am working on publishing a first edition. These two pages for TOP will look more compact and informative very soon

[crymzyn]

Hey all, I'll be on a business trip starting tomorrow and will be back on Thursday, May 1st.  I'm sure topdude will be around to answer any questions, but my time will be very limited.  I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

I also wanted to share that I've been averaging from 85,000 to 170,000 TOP per day by mining at http://hashco.ws using a single 600kh/s rig

Mine now while you can still get that many, as price goes up the coins per day will decrease.  Have a good week everyone!

What are the chances of partnering with any of the hundreds of pre-established online or Android gaming apps? For instance, letting users "gamble" with TOP instead of the fictitious house casino money?

I understand that legality becomes an issue at some point, but if bitcoin technically isn't money, then neither is topcoin. And there's the issue of whatever casino game has to make a substantial purchase of TOP in order to fund the house...

Seems like this would be a good way to get the word out.

Any amount is fine even if you send 0.001 BTC or less it will still help!!

Common guys!! lets get TOP to the TOP!!

BTW im still giving away TOPcoins to random posters who have their TOP address in their sig!!

Doris, Cryptsy is too big for Topcoin, in fact, at this point, Mintpal is too big for Topcoin too.  Daily volume is less than 1 BTC a day that level of low volume activity at highly active exchanges look worse than the exact same activity level at a lower activity level exchange.   The exchange should be selected for the specific development stage of the cryptocurrency.

Top is lost at Mintpal, although Swisscex is doing next to nothing with it, Swisscex is a better fit because both mediums are in their respective infancy, both could grow together.  If Top's growth expands past the capacity of Swisscex, then you consider Mintpal.  

At this point the coin needs to be removed from Mintpal and focused attention applied at a smaller venue where the coin isn't competing with so many more active and higher performing coins.

A CC going backwards does not improve the financial position of the investors, only those who get coin for free, if you want people to pay for coins they must see a way to make a profit from someone else.  Every CC must move forward to be a worthwhile investment.

Still on my business trip, and just popped my head in... I disagree, with both the push for Cryptsy, and with the push to drop us from Mintpal. There are much worse investment options on Mintpal, and without it, we would have missed a 20 btc investment that was made by a whale that likes to stick with his investments. Clearly he did his research and saw that we have huge potential, and are greatly undervalued. We will continue to build and innovate, and as we continue to grow, more and more people will catch on. We need to capitalize on the visibility that Mintpal is providing, and we can do that if we get more organized and focus our efforts more on marketing, finding new opportunities that will promote more organic growth, and other things that give Topcoin more purpose. We have a great foundation built, let's take it to the next level before we make a strong push for Cryptsy. In all honesty, if we do everything correctly, we will be added automatically as we reach the proper level of maturity.

Speaking of getting more organized... I have been speaking with Armis about getting a community board together to help guide the fundamentals for growth and advancement of Topcoin. It was completely his idea, and will be at the helm of it, and I couldn't be more excited to see what comes of this initiative. It will be completely transparent and owned by every one of you. Topdude and I will still be solid leaders and will work in conjunction with this from the inception.  We will continue working on our projects as this is built out, and will be helping Armis with anything that is needed to get it rolling. It will help identify what our next steps are, and help build an avenue for community leaders to gather and map out opportunities for the coin/community. Please  keep an eye out for more on this, and prepare for liftoff. If you have interest in assisting with this, do not hesitate to comment and join us in getting the ball rolling!

Back to my conference... Take care, see you all soon!
