Have to say I like the logo used on this website FAR more than any other I've seen compared to 99 designs.
Also prefer the very polished/similar coin logo on the index page #1 of this thread. I will select those over my previous 99 designs choice of #259 easily.

I'm disappointed in the fall of karmacoin as well. I guess that's what you get when it is first released to greedy monsters. But I guess I'm a greedy monster too. Still, I have faith in this coin's potential.

just noticed something pretty weird, it's still more profitable to mine karma at the current difficulty of 4.822 and sell for 20lit than it is to mine LTC directly.. thats how it stands at the minute, if the difficulty was to go up past 5.5 then you would be better mining LTC and buying karma with them in anticipation of the price rise.

personally i'm keeping an eye on it to horde more karma.. it's a double edged sword though and i dont know which helps more... more volume through the exchange by me buying karma after mining LTC or mining karma directly but nothing goes through the exchange

I would say its more ironic than weird.. whoever it was that was mining the hell out of this coin and dumping seems to have left...
right now for those people who believe in the idea of an altruism based coin.. it is a bargain to buy or mine.
I'm getting more coins now with half as many cards mining it than I was a week ago before the block reward halved.

the cryptocoin community is full of noobs who do not understand the real value of crypto currencies so they are always thinking in terms of how they can make more Fiat money.
what they do not realize is that their "Fiat" money has been devaluing constantly for more than 100 years.
what we have seen in the past few weeks with Altcoins is just hysteria around the mt gox issue and people trying to move their money back into fiat or atleast into safer cryptos like BTC and LTC.

nothing we say or do here at KarmaCoin central will change that broader downtrend until the hysteria subsides.

so that being the case we might as well pull up a chair, open a few drinks and enjoy the easy mining while it lasts...

in a few months time you will either be thinking.. "WOW that was the best few weeks if mining I ever had.." or "WOW I just wasted a few weeks of my time, meh"....

either way doesn't seem so bad..

meanwhile look at whats happening in Crimea right now... people can't withdraw more than 20-30 USD worth at a time from their ATMs.
pretty soon people all over the world will get sick of being told by the banks what they can and can't do with THEIR own money..
and when that day comes.. decentralized Crypto currency will be back in fashion again.


Long live Cryptos, Down with the banks!!

i see what you are saying, i suppose the biggest problem really is having a product or something that you can buy with these coins. as someone said back in the thread make a game where karma is the in game currency.

is there any plans to sell real items in a karma style online store?

Dear K-Team:

The new website is ready for your preview.

Go to the subreddit for details on how to log in. (Please do not share login information)

It still has some work, of course. But I believe we are still moving along according to schedule. Typing it out is the easy part.

The new logo should be online within the next day or so.

Hopefully, we can launch the website to the public within a few days!

Everything is still going according to plan. The schedule is there for all to see: http://www.reddit.com/r/Karmacoin/comments/20ee6p/schedule_previews_releases_announcements_and_news/

I'm sure somebody somewhere is working on it, although I don't think that would have much effect right now since people are becoming more reluctant to spend their cryptos as they devalue...

for example MAXCoin and Doge have had some pretty newsworthy wins with online stores accepting their coins but both are still significantly down on what they were a just few weeks ago.

the best thing we can do now is what we have always tried to do and that is grow the community and get more coins into the hands of new people.

now that is a sweet looking website

hard work will pay off. it always does

Thanks. It's just the beginning, though. The idea is to build a global brand. The website and new logo are just one of the ways to accomplish that. Making the brand appealing and attractive to the general population (or at least our target market) is integral to rapid growth.

It is important that we be seen as a serious, useful currency in relation to our peers (Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Reddcoin).

A good brand, message, website, etc., acts as a value multiplier.

This simply means that people are likely to 1) use it more; and/or 2) invest in it more than they would have if we did not have a good brand, etc.

With a strong brand and message we will attract the serious money. That is the invisible hand in the market that a lot of altcoins don't think about. The serious money drives the value of the share/coin in the marketplace.

In response to the person that had a concern about not being able to see the path to substantially increased value, this is how it's done. It's how the big boys have done it since the dawn of modern consumerism. It's how successful companies do it. And it's how we will do it.
