Impressive price movement. One thing I'd like to chime in about is I really hate the catchphrase "Once you go black..." that's plastered on promo posts. It doesn't do any clever wordplay, it just leaves a juvenile thought hanging mid-sentence. I'm supposed to finish it myself in my head, I guess, with "you don't go back" or "you're a single mom" but if you wanted to go with a stupid cliche for advertising some kind of twist on it would be better than the lazy way out of making people finish it themselves.

I think they are looking for a new one already, but it's meant to be..
Once you go black, you never go back.

Once you go black, you never look back! Is there any way we can claim back our stolen coins or we are all just waiting?

Mint also came before.. I think BC was the first to reach pure PoS stage though? I think that is correct since PPC PoW continues. I believe MINT was the first to introduce a limited (5 week) initial PoW distribution model before going to pure PoS, followed by BC. The BC PoS began about 2 weeks before MINT's did. Peercoin: correct - initiated PoS Mintcoin: correct - initiated Fast PoS (first because of its environmentally-conscious idea and second to avoid massive rigs to destroy fairness by getting it all) Blackcoin: correct - first to attain pure PoS (Mint was 5 week PoW, BlackCoin arrived at week 2/3 and was 1 week PoW)

Is there anywhere to download the blackcoin blockchain, over torrent or something? The update through the wallet is taking ages :/

Is anyone else concerned that Bitcoin has been steadily dropping and doesn't seem inclined to stop?

I'm not concerned about it at all. It will recover once all those Chinese stupidity stops. Also there are million dollar businesses getting ready for bitcoin in the USA etc etc..

Well it doesn't really effect blackcoin that much. It no longer seems like something worth worrying about. All the bitcoin should actually be in blackcoin now to be honest.

Another way of looking at it is if you had sold to fiat on march 24th you would have about 6th of the cash that hold blackcoin would have given you.

Indeed. I think people view as a thing where if btc is down then the value of their alts is down. But there are different ways out of alts and investment will go somewhere into alts. Btc could go down the higher we get up towards its level as btc is sold for bc. Though I guess the market cap makes a bit of a difference.

BlackCoin - Welcome to the Dark Side. There are a few sports teams in the US that portray a bad boy image, one that goes against conventional thought. One example is the Oakland Raiders and their uniforms are largely black. I think the color black represents this image much like pirates of old. It is appealing to a large part of US society and could be leveraged to have people invest in this coin. One visual example would be a pirate's chest full of booty. That booty, of course, would be BlackCoins.

BTC... hmmm what's that again? Oh yeah, I remember now - it's the exchange medium I have to use when moving my BC->Fiat and vice versa. As long as you don't look at BTC as a store of value (like BC is proving to be) then it's price can be $5 or $5000 - won't matter because I'll only be in it for a few hours at the most.
