Ok , guys, let's stop playing with toys, let's make the real thing! We need an exchange. It seems that polling for an exchange failed and we need to force events. As I mentioned, Vircurex is having big troubles and its future is unclear. I haven't received any feedback from Coined-Up, so it is out. MintPal is too expansive to get in.

We have an opportunity to get in CryptoALTeX cheap but it is not very popular and common yet. I think, @coin-project SHOULD contact them directly and negotiate the things. Meanwhile I'll also try to PM @chiznitz.

We may consider a possibility to get in Crypto Rush as I proposed a week ago. They will choose a new coin in 14 hours. We need appx. 10000 - 15000 votes. It is equal to 1 - 1.5 BTCs.

COIN is already listed for voting and has 140+ votes. We will compete with Titanium (TTN) community. It was released appx. a week ago and has appx. 8500 votes at the moment.

Let's calculate how much we are ready to invest into the COIN future. I'm ready to invest 0.15 BTCs. If we can put together at least 1 BTC I think we can give it a try.

For those of you who has mother language which differs from English (or just speaks another language well) I'd suggest to create a new topic in the corresponding local sub-forum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5

It can bring some additional interest to the project. I've created a Russian thread.

Good news. Have just received an email from Cryptsy support:

Thank you for introducing me to this coin.
I have submitted your coin to our development team who will review it
to see if it meets our requirements for addition to the Cryptsy exchange.
If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know

Will keep our fingers crossed I hope that Cryptsy development team will notice COIN specialties which make it different from other pump & dump stuff on the crypto-coin market.

This could be interesting, but it will put a lot of selling pressure on this community, diverting it from mining - not sure if it's the best corse of action
Anyway, you already know that and where I stand, no need to repeat ourselves

Thank you for your efforts and continuing support, vilgem - I think it's fair no say that when we get into a mainstream exchange, you're to thank for in a big way - I just wish that only happens because COIN is perceived as a good bet, not because we voted/paid/whatever for it.

Coin-project, how depleted is the premine? What's its current weight on overall number of existing coins?
pretty sure that will influence heavily on Cryptsy's evaluation, as well as the COIN wealth of the main miners in the community; they won't go for a coin that is too overly concentrated ... unless they get some of the action :\

Anyone can do a concentration analysis on COIN (wealth/address ?) I know it's not exactly the correct distribution (anyone can have a lot of addresses), but it's the possible one, given the anonymity and design of crypto currencies

I do not think that once COIN gets into a popular exchange everyone who holds much COINs will sell them all at once. It would be very stupid. Actually I do not expect pump & dump at all. The exposure will bring some additional attention to the project and we will have another move forward.

So, what about trying to get into Crypto Rush (or CryptoALTeX)? Are you guys going to invest something? 0.1 BTCs is not much at all if you have bought/mined enough COINs and believe in the great project future. Investing BTCs now will bright some real world value to COINs and would even help you to avoid the temptation to pump & dump COIN once it gets into a popular exchange.

Definitely interesting. Fingers crossed!

Hey man, sorry I missed you, I had to call it a night. Got a thousand things going on. The Coin pool is doing pretty good!

For those of you generating mega hashes per second on the COIN network I ought to repeat a question you all try to avoid. Are you brave enough to invest some funds to protect your capital on the long run? We need to get an exposure to a popular exchange. Can we raise some money?

Vilgem, you sure are persistent, in a good way

But you're right, nobody did really answer your pledge/call to action :-|

I'll be honest - no BTC right now, used up all my reserves to buy some COIN in c-cex 
Next week I will probably have some, but that will imply selling some coin reserves, and right now, not sure how I can do that - all my shitcoin reserves are worth less that 0.008 right now
And I ain't selling COIN, that's for sure ...

Nonetheless, I will invest, 0.1 BTC is not that much - but first I have to get it (hey, I only started mining  in Fev 24th, there isn't much I could have done with less than 1.5 MH/s total and being a noob )
So, if that can take place next week, I'll invest whatever I have up until 0.1.
Deal?

Great news!  Thanks for the interest.

I haven't found COIN in your list. Are you sure you added it? I can see it on the screenshot you posted but not in the actual list.

@coin-project, you did not appear for a long time. What are the latest news?

Vilgem, it is there. Be sure to specifically check the c-cex checkbox as the site currently has c-cex in beta.

[nenzo007]

We also have our nice COIN page on their site: http://whatmine.com/coin/368/Coin-COIN-Scrypt-Profitability

I like this site. I contacted them yesterday evening, and they added us over night!

coin-project, please put this on the top of this thread. We could have an "Other" section or similar for pages where we are present.

I'm in for a bit because I have been wondering about the names and how they would cope irl too - however, the 11.5M premine and no asic-proof future plans raises some concerns. Incase Coin would hit one dollar, for instance, I'm positive the dev simply would dump and walk away. Please address these concerns, tyvm.

Hi, welcome! It's good to have one more member in the community

Coin-project will surely answer your questions, but let me address one in particular: asic-proof

The dev already stated if asics become a problem, COIN will be hard-forked into a different algo, like scrypt-N or X11 or whatever

For me, that's about the best plan we can have, but that's just an opinion, of course.

Join a pool and mine a bit - your coin stash will be worth it down the line

I used to thought the same way. But now I have changed my mind. Bitcoin is sha256-based and it is the most safest crypto currency on the market. Different alts come and go but Bitcoin is like a safe harbor for your investments. In fact ASICs helped Bitcoin to survive and to acquire its value. It happened because real investors with huge capitals entered the market.

Hashing algorithms themselves do not determine the real value of a crypto currency. Only real investments do. When scrypt-based ASICs one day come, their total mining power will be shared among different scrypt-based alts, not only Litecoin. But ASIC-holders are investors. If they choose to mine a coin it already brings some real value to such coin. GPU-holders are  mostly ordinary gamers. They mine for fun. ASIC-resistance in such context is not good at all. It will keep real capital away from such coin at least in terms of mining investments.

So it turns out that there is a trade-off between ASIC-resistance and real business involvement. You never know what is better (ASIC-resistance or ASIC-friendliness), but it is a minor question anyway. What is much more important is coin philosophy and its community.

Does anyone know what happened to activity levels on this Forum. My one is frozen at the level of 70. I've also noticed that others' level is frozen too. ?!
