wht s the advantage for GPUC
Scrypt-N algo is ASIC resistant which will be a nice feature in the coming months as KnC releases their scrypt miners. Also, this was the first coin I've seen that has a storefront directly associated with the coin developers. A successful cryptocurrency will have places where you can spend it for actual goods, so this was a great value proposition [if done correctly]. You forgot to add that the coin has no value. IPO investors already lost money in this failed coin. Yes, due to an incompetent goth looking wannabe CEO who basically hired a team to do everything for him and would show up whenever he felt like it.

He has been incompetent from the launch of this coin or the 4th launch.. He will not speak to anyone will not post. O wait he did post over a week ago to yell at us that he has real world problems going on. Well that was over a week ago and still nothing from him.

And do not worry about him losing money we gave him over $40K in BTC. http://media.giphy.com/media/s2qXK8wAvkHTO/giphy.gifNow I will be attacked by his cheerleaders but they know it's true.. The ignorant CEO killed this coin not me..

It had some good moments. I sold 5 or 7 million which I had mined, as soon as the selling looked good. I made some BTC and was happy. This had so much potential. Aside from the lack of help from the owner, the other major killjoy on this was that it launched at a transitional time. GPU demand worldwide is low right now.
Anyway, easy to stick a fork in a corpse, but definitely sucks to see where it's landed. And a lot sooner than I had thought, I gave it until at least June.

The death of the coin is not written in stone, so there is still a chance to save it. Either the 'CEO' steps down and hands the controls to those best suited for the task or he gets his shit together and heeds to the cries of the community. I doubt the latter, so maybe he needs a flood of emails to convince him to step down.

i just cant believe people were so stupid as to dump the coin to these shit prices. think about it, if we had kept the coin high we could have scored some cheap gpu's. you can't blame jaymes completely, it's just as much the fault of the stupid fuck dumpers that don't have a goddamn clue how shit works. until something is done to educate these noob dipshits on how exchanges work all coins are going to keep going in the same direction. on one hand more miners is good, on the other hand if they are complete fucking idiots it's a sever fucking handicap. I figured we would have made it through at least a couple of batches of gpu's and at one point i had 10 million fucking coins and should theoretically been able to make out pretty good, but then there's those dipshit dumpers again fucking everything up as usual. flame me all you want, i have no respect for people who aren't even smart enough to do what is in their own best interest.

I think the market could still work. Even if Jaymes blew the IPO funds the items on the store marketplace are supplied by whoever is selling.
The problem of being able to cheat the system by jacking up the price on an exchange would definitely have to be changed before I would sell a pennies worth of equipment, but once it is established I would list some equipment I have been meaning to sell on Ebay.
Or take the remaining equipment from Jaymes and takeover the store.
I warned at the beginning of all of this that there was nothing preventing Jaymes from disappearing after the first batch of GPUs was sold. I hope he is not making very much money off of this but there is a good chance he will leave with a nice chunk of change.
For some reason I never dumped and hope things will get turned around.

Just curious: According to http://www.gpucoinforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2750&start=30#p3001, posted on April 7, they didn't get enough coins to hold the "Win a Brand New 280x GPU" So we did not meet the minimum coins raised in order to have this contest go live, i will be refunding all coins sent to me back to the address they were sent from. If you want them sent to another address please email me by the end of the week. I will email all people also that entered into the contest.
I have heard nothing, and haven't received my coins back. Anyone get theirs back? (I know - moot at this point, but...)

A better plan was to sell the GPU for a fixed price, for example 5 million GPU per card. Therefore, the GPUcoin will have a standard then price will go up to match the value for the coin. POW for a business is bad. Because multipool miners don't hold, they only dump.

POW for a business is bad. Because multipool miners don't hold, they only dump. Yup. I was saying that even before the store opened, but no. He was determined to have the market control the price. Do you think people would sell their GPUC's cheap if they know they can turn around and trade it in for a GPU for a much better price? Only if he'd set the price of the 280x to 1million GPUC or less. Every IPO would have made a decent amount and once the price is fixed, he would have time to sell his GPUC in order to get the 2nd batch going. I bet he's still holding onto the original coins from the 1st batch since the price dropped like crazy after a day or so. He would of been selling them at a lost. The CEO is incompetent. He pretty much hired a great team to promote, develop and create a website/store for him while paying them worthless coins. I bet everyone on the team has still made a cent profit on this coin. The CEO however will always have a profit since he started with $0 and if no one buys his GPU's since it now over 28 million GPUCs, he can always turn around and sell it on Ebay or something. I vote for the team to takeover this coin if they like to. I know they have invested way too much time already.

In addition, change the reward. In pawncoin, we voted to change the 50 reward into 5 PAWNcoin and cut the max coin from 100m to 20m.

You can't just declare a set value for the coin, that's pretty stupid.
So he declares 5m GPUC for a 270. The market rate is 1 satoshi. He gets .05btc for the gpuc. Really dude? That's your plan?
You have to let market set the value. If they would've used a better pricing algorithm and held a buffer of BTC to help get things started, and take a small hit at the outset to get the market flowing.. it would've been better. Not saying it would've kept things alive, but it would help.
Again, file this under lack of business acumen and failing to heed great advice from several folks who were willing to make his business into something great. He killed it, nobody else.

again ? Like it worked the first time ? (I repeat what I already said, increase the reward to position the coin as 1sat coin, create incentive for mining the coin... ). 3 failed launch, 2 change in the reward... you must be kidding For the store to survive it has to become a real computing store, accepting dollars, offering some extra discount to people buying with gpuc and that's it.

I mentioned to set the price of the GPU's before the store opens. Here is my original message on March 13th https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=469887.msg5674580#msg5674580 If he sets the price BEFORE the store even opens and before anyone has a single GPUC. Why would anyone sell the GPUC for 1 satoshi? The only coins that you need to let the market set it's value are coins that have no physical use. You can't buy anything with it and they are pretty much useless until someone creates a store/service for it. GPUC however was intended to be used to purchase GPU's. So what's wrong with setting the price?

This coin is not dead. The coin is working just fine, yes the price may have taken a hit now but all that's needed is for the store to keep functioning and/or for further adoption. The coin itself does not hinge on the original coin creator or the value of the coin for that matter.

Well, while GPUCoin did not post here today it's obvious he got my message about needing to update the OP and title. So, at least we don't need a new thread at this point. The reward halving is only a couple days away now, so lets see how that goes eh??
