[GPUC] GPU Coin | Mandatory Wallet Update

[imonit]

How about adding Prepaid Visa Gift Cards (Debit cards) into the store.  They can be personalized / branded with the GPU logo.  Even if it is a break even Zero profit (except for the increased value of the coin) it is something that can be used by everyone, shipped everywhere (low postage) - so those in other countries using / mining this coin aren't left out because of big $$$ to have a GPU shipped across the ocean. 

I will post my address in the near future so you can tip the hell out of me when this idea is implemented.

Since it looks like on Friday, all the GPUs in stock will be gone, can we get an update as to what's in the next shipment and when? I think it would really hurt the coin if the store was empty with no notice of any more GPUs coming.

it's nice to see an active community like this

A good question you guys should be asking the owner is: What's his incentive to make sure the business flourishes?

In other words, if it tanks, what is he going to do with the stock? Sell it, right? Where's the money going to go? His pockets.

Unless his contigency was to hand it out to the community, but if that was the case he would've stood up an actual Corporation which would've allowed investors.

Jaymes probably should not have used the words 'IPO' and 'investor'.

Most coins are not real LLCs, and no-one has really pressed the issue, but an IPO by definition is offering of shares in a company to investors.   There are actual laws in place that regulate how they run, giving certain rights to investors.

Later it was revealed that in fact an actual IPO was not allowed in his state.  So why continue using those words?

I am not even sure it is legal how the IPO was ran.

Let's focus not on what has happened in the past.  More on what is needed to turn things around.

Did we hear back from Jaymes on the coin rewards reduction proposal yet?

# 1 right now on whatmine.com for profit. If the price would go up we would stay there and have a ton of miners. I don't see how we are top of the chart and still nobody mining.

@vesperwillow stated that switching the algo to -n would hurt the coin. one of the main reasons for this is because asic only helps coins. gives them more hash power, secures the network, and overall generates more profit. the only downside of this is that some people dont understand that fact and want to move over to something only gpus can do. but we see where that has gotten us or any other currently asic restraint coin.
Not sure complaining about this now really does much good, but let it be a lesson to those in the future.

as for the store, i've seen many people sell games cheaply using btc. so why not have that added to the store. digital games are quickly sent off via pm or email. this would help bring people in from the gaming community. as for gamers hate crypto, sure there are people pissy over the price gouging of the amd cards, but i'm a gamer, many of you are gamers.. it's not like we boycotted crypto.
so give them an incentive to jump into this coin with cheap games. hell if theres some good ones or maybe even some DLCs i dont have at a cheap enough price, i may actually stop sitting on my coins.
@Hendr1x if you could add in some coding to where digital codes and maybe files could be sent directly to the user after payment, that would help greatly! i say files because maybe something down the road like ebooks or small programs could be added to the market.

i see a few people asking about risers, we have some for sale in the market, they are 1x to 16x. would people rather have 16x-16x powered? i've got a few that i've only tested and placed back in their antistatic bags. if so i could drop them on there. my plan was to go full scale but using my one 7950 to get there. hasn't really worked out like i hopped, lol.

I think if we grow the market/sales page pretty large, then promote it, things will pick up quicker than just promoting it.
larger market place means you're able to entice more people with things they may want.

It was at #1 for a bit (I have been on there most of the day).  Still shows at #3 for me.

I think a big problem also plaguing GPUC is the oversaturation of shitcoins everyday, people that used to hit every launch are now like "why bother" and going back to mining multipools or other stable coins. I don't think blaming Jaymes is the answer. This is just more fallout from all the scams and dead coins that have been dragging everything down for the last few months. That and in the last few months you could count on a certain amount of profit, not anymore. profits are down close to 50% so people are not adding cards right now. Drastic measures are required if this is going to succeed in these circumstances.

The increasingly fierce market competition of coins
We have less
I'm afraid all the miners will leave

Hi to all!!!!From where i can buy the Toxic R9 280x???

...asic only helps coins. gives them more hash power, secures the network, and overall generates more profit...

Are you nuts? If ASICs become the way of mining, then GPUs are out, and what is the point of GPUC??? Sure, they do help secure the network, but they make mining SEVERELY less profitable. Do you not understand what's happened to Bitcoin due to ASICs?

right here bro:

there is a sale tomorrow though

Dunno why I'm getting spammed for this, but the OP infographic is full of grammatical errors (namely it uses the word "then" where it should have the word "than," and no, those words don't even mean remotely the same thing, even though they are spelled similar. "Then" is referring to time, "than" is comparing two things.)

the voices in my head say i'm not nuts, so majority rules.
while gpuc is geared towards gpu only mining, you can still mine while asic miners are in the wild. it becomes harder but the easier a coin is to mine the less its worth. the majority of these posts are people upset their coins arent worth more and trying to figure out how to make it more valuble. i'm explaining why -n was a bad idea.
also by the time Script asic would hurt the market is about 1-2 years away, the majority of us will have made way more coins than we know what to do with by that time. survivability is the key here, you can't alienate miners and expect profit. would be like amazon, ebay, or some other merchant saying you can only buy from us if you're of xyz skin color. you loose a huge demographic of people that want to use the service.
the current asic out for scrypt only do 300-400kh, they are expensive, require additional hardware to run, and isn't profitable right now. there's not much to worry about as of yet.
