I just find it amusing that people are still throwing hash power at this coin.


I think it will eventually die, but you never know strange things happen in the crypto world.

[Vegascoin.vegas]

http://Vegascoin.vegas/ now exists. Nobody seems to notice or even care. That is perfectly fine, for now. It was effortless to climb up into the top ten in the Google search results. There is no plan to put any more than minimal effort into it between now and when we see Bitcoin crash to less than $50 USD.

It will be a listing for rare American coins. Prices are in VGC at a fixed exchange rate to the face value of the coin. There is a cute play on words, offering "Cold, hard cash" for vegascoin, but the exchange rate is ridiculous in terms of USD and the coins can be considered to be cold, hard cash because they are currency made from metal.

It is reasonable to believe this model will keep out of the parameters of what can be considered to be any form of money laundering. The goal is to simply exist until the domain has any value. This is not expected to happen for years, if ever.

Vegascoin.vegas will create the market condition that it is cheaper to use USD to buy VGC and then use VGC to buy silver than it is cheap to use USD for buying the silver directly. This has a benefit for the seller because selling silver for VGC is cheaper than buying bitcoins and driving the price up when using the bitcoins to get VGC.

A recovery in the VGC price will make it irrational to pay the VGC price and that is when gold coins can be added to the site at the same exchange rate. This domain will be used as a market that only makes sense when VGC is tanked in price.

It would be nice if someday this domain can be sold for the new version of the vegascoin if the old coins are replaced by another genesis block. It would also be great to find a way if any possible profits could be used to help finance http://subzeromission.org/. If this becomes a real business, then it is hoped SubZeroMission can be gifted 7.77% ownership.

Price surging. Explenation?

Price surging. Explenation?

        I noticed that and a four bitcoin volume that is really insane for this coin. I am not sure what is going on but a 33166.70 % jump is worth keeping an eye on. I have also noticed that the hash rate and difficulty have gone up quite a bit recently along with interest. I have heard nothing of any recent interest in a takeover or anything else that could warrant such a surge in price.

Need some addnodes to get the wallet working again.

I was wondering the same thing as price has jumped. Today was in the top 5 at Cryptopia.
Seems someone is buying a lot for reasons unknown. I just checked the thread to see if
someone knew why the sudden interest. Someone has some kind of plan for this coin.
Scooping up as much as they can, before letting cat out of the bag. Maybe should fire up
my wallet again? Someone is up to something, just hope it is good! Will have to keep my eye on this!

Peace, Dennis

You never know with VegasCoin, when the coin looks like it has taken its final breath it always seems to resurrect.

It will be interesting to see how things pan out with this latest spark in the coin and mining.

Its hard to say what is going on, could be manipulation, a takeover with possible coin swap or someone being foolish.

Did anyone notice the block halving? Block halving is not listed in the coin specs that I can find, and I do not know where to look for this info in the code.

[___TR___]

Also, as a reminder, this coin has wallet issues and you should not send more than 10,000 VGC at a time. I have lost close to 200k that are stuck in the blockchain.

Hi VGC miners.

My Boss allowed me to host a Pool server on one of our smaller Vps's.

Nothing Fancy and some non-critical things might not work 100%

http://vps.p-and-c-ictsolutions.co.za

VGC is the Second Coin to be added to date

Feel Free to make suggestions.

i hope a new pool to this coin is well received   

[Vegascoin.vegas]

No. That event was nothing as spectacular as it would seem.

As mentioned before, VegasCoin.Vegas is for sale. It can be purchased with a cash offer for the domain plus 10,000,000 VGC. So the new owner would be guaranteed no less than 10% control of the crypto. And if the block explorer was working, then anybody could have seen the wallet was 700,000 shy of the promised 10,000,000 VGC.

Selling for 2 or 3 satoshi trades pretty much signifies the bottom price. If BTC surged, then VGC cannot be traded any lower. If BTC crashes, then interested parties may step in and clean up what what they can catch is still available by sellers who neglect to manage their order prices. At this time, VGC can be almost viewed to be functioning as an options instrument for movements in the price of BTC.

It was very cheap to cover the VGC shortfall at rock bottom prices. Unexpectedly, a small rush of somebody dumping VGC resulted in buying more than what was calculated beforehand. Too much BTC was purchased to finance the VGC purchased and approximately $50 USD or less was left over after the 10,000,000 goal was reached.

The price ran up to 0.00001000 because spending $50 USD was all it took to reach that price. What is the benefit for holding any crashing BTC in an altcoin exchange? There were large gaps in price between very small and very few sell orders. Never was there 4+ BTC of volume. The stuff you people read and believe is mostly illusion and bad information.

VegasCoin.Vegas has no serious plans for the domain or plans for the coin until after BTC crashes to be less than $50 USD. It is just a hobby business until then. Nobody is scooping up as much as they can. There is no cat in any bag. The business is aware what the price needs to be to "break even." So, there may be more small and affordable purchases if only to make it appear breaking even because that is an easy and simple thing to do. This is not a hostile takeover, but it is not impossible to happen. When (or if) Cryptopia would be abandoned and be no more, then VegasCoin.Vegas would be the last VGC exchange to exist and this would be a takeover by forfeit.

The rare silver coins for sale at VegasCoin.Vegas are a steal at current prices. There is a reason why dimes and nickles are not listed at this time. It would be cheaper to put ten or twenty dollars in a BTC ATM and restore the price than it would cost to give a customer free shipping.

VegasCoin.Vegas is opposed to the way Cryptopia and all other altcoin exchanges have built their markets. Any future plans would involve placing orders in USD prices and not BTC prices.

Dev activity for the coin seems no-existant so we have no option to delist the coin, please cloase all open orders and withdraw you VGC before 25/4/15

[juantellez]

[Arrakeen]

Looks like the last holdouts have shut down their wallets. Nobody is mining, so blockchain is not moving. Only one node alive.

RIP

I can offer mining service to keep coin alive if dev is interested.

Best to let this one die

This is what cryptopia says

"VGC / BTC market is closing

VGC markets are closing, VGC has a network issue where we are getting spammed with invalid transaction which are messing up peoples unconfirmed balances, we have tried everything on our end to remedy the issue but is out of our control. Dev activity for the coin seems non-existant so we have no option to delist the coin, please close all open orders and withdraw you VGC before 25/4/16"


The dev seems not to care about this coin and he is unwilling to let someone take it over for a reasonable price

Its unfortunate because with the right dev this would have been a success

RIP Vegascoin

I still have 3 connections to the network with IP mentioned before.
