Haven't checked in here for a week or so, any new noteworthy developments?

[RobFordWotWot]

There was mention of possibly adding proof-of-stake. Has anything been decided?

I'm not sure but adding proof-of-stake would be a great idea.

As far as I know this is still being decided and news will be out in the near future. Also there was mentions of a coin total halving earlier on in the forum. This is also to be confirmed.

Spartancoin is working hard in the background I can assure you. I'm not at liberty to divulge what these are. But they have me excited!

Also there is some major coverage for Spartancoin coming, I think it was in Australia. I will let the Dev continue this information as I do not wish to mid inform

Hey everyone.... sorry was off for a couple days. Will be catching up on the ICO distribution. The website is coming. Dev is working on it offline and we will begin uploading to server and start piecing it together. The android app is on hold... current dev I think bit off more than he could chew so I am looking for someone who is capable of working with this type of project. It is a slight set back but no worries. We want this all to launch with the website so we are still looking good.

Side note 1... C-cex.com giveaway is going to become available shortly. Donation address is S29pNHoMUVom2YG5E7ogvYsyTMBWpk5nJX so if anyone can send in some coins that would be awesome. One of the best things with our community I have seen is any donation opportunity that arises, we truly shine in this area as our giveaways are large.

Side note 2.... I mentioned a PR opportunity coming in the next few months. We will be making shirts for the athletes, paperwallets to hand out to participants as well as some business card size adverts to 1,000's of people. Participants and spectators alike. This is a Televised event and can warrant some exposure too. By this event Spartancoin should be a well known name which will be extremely positive.

Pricing Info.
Runner Singlet Shirts = $15 ea (6 needed now would like to order more as we get more athletes to wear our shirts)
Promo shirts = $6 ea (black or white t-shirts... the more donations the more we can order)
Paper Wallets = Donate to SHyTSYdAmmzqWp7TNNvWS6Tq79MdJZcC1Y
Business cards 10,000 2 sided 4/0 Fullcolor/black = $250

I have my own screenprint business as I used to do this long before this.. I can get some stuff done cheaper than most which helps us with promo stuff. 
Being in our infancy and as much as I would like us to be at the point where we work solely in SPN coins... we cannot. If anyone can help out in $$$ or BTC to help get this underway that would be awesome. We will also like donations for the paper wallets. The more wallets we hand out the better. We are looking to have a facebook/twitter giveaway linked to this, where the recipient of the paper wallet can also get free coins from liking the FB page or tweeting @spartancoin. I will be posting the shirts layouts and business card design hopefully by tomorrow. 

Questions please PM me.

Pos is still in the works. We are not ready for release yet. Quite a bit to this as it is a complete rewrite of the coin and not a simple task. I will keep people as updated as needed. Everyone is able to PM with any questions along the way. I am usually available somewhere, be it here, FB, Twitter or skype and of course email.

Thanks for the update. Was the coin cap change decided upon or is that not happening?

[MINIGO]

when are we getting our coins for the ICO story?

when are we getting our coins for the ICO story?

The ICO is being paid out daily as per the ICO agreement. There was a mass email sent out asking you to reply with your wallet address so payments could be made. If you aren't receiving payments have a look for the email and reply. I received my ICO everday for the last not sure how long!

Does anyone know what happened to SPN trading on Bittrex?... Doesn't seem to be available. People were starting to buy at the 1 satoshi price a lot more over recent days. If they have decided to take it down I think this could be of benefit anyway as when we get onto Mintpal and that will be soon with the speed we are moving up past other coins in line there will be less preconception for initial price setting and we can hopefully get some buy and sell orders generate higher then we were seeing on Bittrex.

I wondered about that too. Should we move whatever coin we have on Bittrex off, or is trading just temporarily suspended?

I'd like to see the coin on Poloniex, but I guess that isn't happening for whatever reason.

I personally have moved my coins off of bittrex. As someone said above i think this is beneficial anyway as Bittrex is fairly low volume anyway. Less price preconception too as a bonus. I too would like to see this on Poloniex. I emailed them a while ago when the coin first launched and they said they would consider it after 2 weeks or successful running. I will email them again today to see where we stand. It wouldn't be too hard to get a little giveaway going there too to get people on the buy. Poloniex is very reactive to mintpal voting position too which could be very beneficial to Spartancoin.

I'll post up the reply when i get one!

Message sent to Poloniex team. Will await Tristan's response.

"Hi there,

I am one of the promoters from the community of Spartancoin.

I contacted you about 1 week after the Launch of Spartancoin and received a response from Tristan. This stated that Poloniex would consider Spartancoin after 2 weeks of stable running with no fork (very understandable with all the problems most have now). We have now achieved this and a lot more!

There is due to be some televised exposure for SpartanCoin which will hit roughly 80,000 people along with a major promotional event including flyers, t shirts, the Racers wearing our brand. So exposure is key to us at the moment and is being achieved on a large scale.

While promoting SPN hard we have also gained quite some momentum in the mintpal voting system. Currently at number 8 and climbing quickly. Our community is also growing day by day.

I am wondering weather you would now consider SPN to be added to Poloniex as i think there is some serious potential for volume.

I also have funds available to hold a startup giveaway on Poloniex to drive some initial transactions and get things going.

Let me know what you think,

Kind Regards

Darktrix"

Let's see what they say!

we're not very far away from mintpal i sure wish people would be more involved here

They will be dont worry. The best thing we can do is expose anyone and everyone to Spartancoin that we can.

We have something no other coin has and that's a mature, understanding and motivated community. This will shine through when the time comes.

All the big projects the Dev is working on also are going to add massive value to the coin. Especially if the total coin reduction and PoS come into play, i for one hope this gets confirmed.

#8 gets us notice, it also gives us time to get some more PR out and marketing in place which is also great!
