Hello All, I'm happy to announce the completion of the ALPHA version of the website. Everything to open the store front is complete but needs to be tested. I am hoping to have some extra features coded as well by launch (Sunday 3/23) but I'm not sure if that will happen. If you are willing to donate 30 minutes or so, I was hoping to get 5-10 bug testers (to try to break the site / give feedback)...if you are interested please PM me. I know its lame but here is a (censored) screenshot : http://imgur.com/erDcS11This upcoming week is going to be an important one for GPU Coin. I spoke with CEO a few hours ago and this upcoming week we are going to finalize our team and focus on coin promotion. We have decided to redo the primary website (gpucoin.net) to coincide with the store launch which requires us to determine our investment sales pitch and finalize an official marketing plan. Again anyone interested in helping with this process PM the CEO @ 'GPU Coin'. If he hasn't gotten back to your PM already please give him till Tuesday night. Lastly, for those interested, our shipment of graphics cards is expected this Wednesday (3/19). I'm going to sign off for the night.....I'll be in contact tomorrow. Ok, I PM you about the IRC, testing, and contest. Have a good night.

Am I the only one who thinks once people actually hear about GPUC price is going 10x or even 20x?
Especially when the site will be up?
Shhh, quiet now or they'll all start mining ..

nope. I think it will skyrocket. think about it. people pump right before the store opens so then it costs less GPUC per card. Those of us who didn't panic over every bump in the road or gonna be stacked bro.

I have had the worst luck for the past 2 months with coins. I been picking the coins that always fail within weeks. I really hope GPU is different. I started mining it again with my 1mhs. I hope this "online store is no false hope" something to trick people into mining this coin. I want this coin to succeed.

i think after the store gets up and running it will be important to focus on a fiat to gpuc exchange. if somebody wants to buy something from the store you want to make it as easy as possible.

Why Fiat? The whole point was to accept GPUC ONLY.

The way I see it at this point, it's either going to to be 5-10 high capacity miners buying up everything from the store, or exchange dumping to whoever will buy spreading the coin thin to the point where very few people actually have the coin required to make a purchase. I.E. at current rate it will take approximately 4 million GPU coin to afford a 290X, if we end up in the 1 satoshi graveyard, forget it. Even if those big players decide to buy the first shipment, the devs will need to dump the coins back in the market to raise funds for the next batch. Once again if there is not demand for the tens-hundreds of millions of coins being recirculated, prices will crash.
Well if they are smart bagholders they will try to keep the price low now, let's say under 20 sat, do microtrades and buy as much as they can while mining it then when the store openes up push the exchange price to a very high value, let's say 200 sat, so they can purchase more items for their coins. Repeat that each time, at least the first few times, then the store could counter it with microtransactions from the coins they got for the items. Just my logical view on what will happen.

Might have missed the point there. I think what he's trying to point out is that its going to implode like a ponzi once the devs cash in the GPU coins to purchase their second round of cards. The dollar value is going to be so low that the proceeds of the sale of 40 cards (including profit) might enable them to purchase maybe 10 cards for the second batch, and maybe another 1-2 more if there is a third batch. The ones who get in on the first batch will get the most profitable deal, especially the IPO holders who did not dump.

Would you like to explain why someone would pay substantially more for the coin compared to what it costs to mine it? I understand things might change once all the coins have been mined but that's little further out. A few posts back we heard that it's profitable to mine at 20 sat so there you have the market value of GPUCoin? At the current price of 20sat one would have to dump 325m coins back to market to buy 100 new display cards at 400usd each. The interesting part of this equation is where the 100K USD per month comes from. It does not directly come from people mining the coins since they just want to change to coins to GPUs and have already given their payment to the electricity company. It has to come from people buying into cryptocoins to create the monthly 100K that then exits to the display card manufacturer. In other words, it's like people would be allowed to print their money at a small cost for a certain time. As long as it's possible to print money people won't pay much more than the cost of printing. It all changes when you can't print the money (GPUCoin) anymore. The GPU factory/wholesaler won't take this printed money (GPUcoins) so the storekeeper has to exchange it somewhere for real money. The only way to do this is to sell the printed money back to the people who printed it while they keep on printing more - and they for one won't be paying a premium on the self printed money returning to them. Interesting times we live :-)

Didn't said they will pay more for the coin compared to mining cost, just that once the initial sales gets going its up to the company to distribute the coins into the market. If they play a safe game and not just dump but slowlly sale, they can get the money back and since to make a profit they will have to not dump but rather make sure the price they sell the coins is over the initial GPUC/card ratio this means after the sales the price will have to go up. Only way it can go down is if the whales/players/big investors want to buy cheaper coins for the next round of sales, this means they would have to try to dump while the company is trying to pump. Also on the mining side, once sales gets going and people get their cards the hashrate will go up since people will know the coin is backed up by something, as in it's trustworthy and has a goal/reason.
