I like this coin good name, good website, the pools run great so far, the mac wallet works fine, sounds like problems with the windows wallet, not sure where the devs are, but should have a future
sort out the wallet issues,
get a bit of pr, find a cab driver who will accept a fare in taxicoin, take a photo create some press,
get a growing community to vote it onto an exchange,
more miners begin to mine,
more pools appear,
more press and taxi's accept fares,
create a software app and qr payment system,
coin future guaranteed....

[AltCoinSpeculation]

everyone's expecting instant rewards from all the new coins, including the devs,
creating a good financial product is going to take a long time and a lot of effort from a lot of people,
none of these coins are doomed yet, there are great opportunities for those willing to help out and support a coin

Taxi Coin, a coin going places


Who is behind Taxi coin?


We are a group of like-minded people located in several countries around the world and have been growing the team and support since we launched. We are developers, producers, engineers, nerds, and citizens. We also all really love Crypto and Taxis!

Why did you create a coin specifically for taxis?


It seemed like a natural fit to begin a coin that could be focused on a market that has strong smartphone adoption in a lot of the world (i.e. apps like Hailo, Getacab, Uber). The idea of having a pay with Bitcoin button within those types of apps is very close (upon us it appears) and the extension of that is a specific coin which could be used in Taxi transportation.

Are you mostly targeting the US market? 


When it comes to Taxis, there are a few cities in the world that stand out and NYC is at the top of our list so we believe the coin will first begin to appear in NYC, London, possibly Seoul. Places where there is a thriving TAXI industry and high smartphone adoption. We are currently doing tests for POS system integration and app development to have TAXI COIN able to roll into other applications as easily as possible for the developers who want to use it. The wallet for Android and iOS is in beta, and we are excited to release it soon.

Why have 50% of the 56 million coins mined now and the rest over 12 years? 


We want the coins in circulation. Plain and simple. Miners who get in now will have a vested interest as we move forward with the apps and collaboration. We want the coins in circulation because our plans and hopes for the coin work best where there are lots of coins in use.Also, we felt that giving miners a chance to get this coin at such an accelerated pace would increase miner interest and hopefully help grow the community.

What exchanges do you plan to be on?

Coinedup, Cryptoaltex, Cryptsy eventually. We are really thrilled to get TAXI COIN onto an exchange soon. We were working with an exchange in beta, but it has yet to be stable enough to add TAXI. We are pursuing several leads and avenues to get TAXI listed, but we feel that before too long the exchanges will see that there is interest, potential, a serious dev team, and money to be made by listing the coin.

What would you answer to those saying it is a pump and dump coin?


We did not create the coin to pump and dump, which is why we aren’t paying to have it listed somewhere and forgotten about. We believe that people will see the potential of this coin especially once the first mobile wallet, app integration, driver payment integration, and TAXI COIN store (trade TAXI into gift cards and items beyond crypto). We have plans for this coin that go way beyond a few days or weeks. With all the coins coming out now, we want TAXI to be different and are trying to demonstrate our intent with our actions and efforts. The future of TAXI is bright and who knows where it will lead but we know that we are going to work very hard at the TAXI COIN foundation to build the community and belief in this coin.

Do you intend to have as Dogecoin a PR machine?

We love Doge and think it is a great coin, but we aren’t necessarily pushing to mirror their approach. Integrating the coin into mobile payment systems and mobile wallets is one of our biggest goals at the moment as is having the coin listed on a quality exchange to start. We are building a PR machine and right now twitter and forums are the best way to engage community.

[dararel]

A lot of people who have contacted us who want to help us with the coin we are thrilled to hear from you and will be contacting you shortly to discuss. In the meantime you can follow and join in the conversation with us on our various platforms

Technical Details:

Core: Litecoin v0,8 [Scrypt, AMD GPU Suggested]

Coins issued: 56 Million

Block Time: 90 seconds

Block Reward:

50% of TAXICOINS will be mined in 8 months, During these 8 months the block reward is reduced 3 times, starting at 250, then 125, next 65, and finally 35. The remaining 50% of TAXICOINS will be mined in 12 years, with a block reward reduction every 350,000 blocks (1 year), starting at 20 and reducing by 25%.

SuperBlocks:

There will be superblocks 3 times a day for a 2 week period before and after every block reward reduction, and during the beginning of the coin. The closer to the halving block, the greater the superblock multiplier is, starting at 1x all the way to 18x, and conversely, the further the block halving gets the lesser the superblock multiplier.

Difficulty Retarget: 6 hours

Hey all we appreciate everyone who has asked to list TaxiCoin on CryptoALTeX and we would like to announce a feature that can have TAXI listed for as low as .05BTC.


Details below

CryptoALTeX "Get Listed"

Want your favorite coin listed?

Want your coin added? Please enter a ticket at https://cryptoaltex.freshdesk.com with some information about your coin and we will generate a deposit address and place your coin into the donation pot which will allow your coin to earn chances, details below.

Donate .001BTC to your coins address listed on our site and you will be giving your coin a "Chance" at being listed. The coin with the most chances after 3 days will automatically be listed on our site. The remaining coins that have a minimum of 50 chances will have their chances entered into a random selection which we will live stream and record. The coin that wins, will be listed. All unselected chances will roll over to the next drawing.

CryptoALTeX reserves the right to list any coin at anytime regardless of the drawing. Any coin listed for trading on CryptoALTeX that is already part of the drawing will have its chances removed from the drawing. In the event CryptoALTeX decides to list the top two coins of the week, the other coins will still have a random drawing.

Direct link to the "Get Listed" page, https://www.cryptoaltex.com/index.php?page=newcoin


Next drawing: Wednesday March 19th, 2014 at 8PM UTC


Thank you all for your support and kind words, we have had many happy customers thank us for our service Smiley

Feedback is welcome on how we can improve the chances for smaller coins to have a chance at being listed on an exchange without having to dump a ton of BTC into the pot.  We hope this seems fair to all and will be monitoring community response to this feature closely.

I do think taxicoin should be a bit more popular than it is right now.

Taxi drivers/companies do share common systems amongst all of them - they even use same cars/colors despite being different companies.. TaxiCoin really has the potential to become a main system of payment that any small cab company can acquire and become part of it - without having to invest into expensive equipment for billing their customers. it's like bus driving/train driving where you can already use easier methods of billing (voucher cards, etc) which are essentially nothing else than taxicoin is.

The taxicoin p2pool does need some hashpower to get it started. It is working - I tested that. And because of the difficulty, we're going to need a couple of miners to get it going - and when it does - it's an awesome method of mining as it has the fun of solo mining without the risk of getting nothing due to pooled mining Wink

If you guys start using this pool, I will be doing a giveaway ( donation ) of taxicoins to all active miners, too - as a method of returning the fees that were kept in. (set at 2% - but due to the way it calculates it, it tends to be somewhere from 0.5% through 1.2% to 1.7%... so usually a lot lower than 2% and with the giveaway you'll pretty much regain all the fees if you stay with the pool)

1 - Explorer   - We are looking for someone to build an explorer for TAXI COIN.
2 - Marketing  - We are intersted in paying some people to help with promotion for TAXI COIN - link backs, twitter,
3 - Mobile App - At the most basic level we are looking for a working mobile wallet app on iOS and Android. Beyond that we are open to hearing ideas on anything you can dream up and execute for taxicoin.
4 - Wallets - Bounties are always earmarked for refinement of the existing wallets, or development of wallets within reason.

We would also like to stress that bounties are in many cases placed in addition to our existing development of TAXICOIN and are meant to help stimulate the TAXICOIN Ecosystem, not to "do our work for us".
