[ANN] BlackCoin (BC/BLK) | PoS | BlackHalo | Smart Contracts | Anonymous

[trdiablo]

It is not helping that the "BlackCoin Community Manager" last responded in this thread more than 1 month ago.

Still, I bought some BC today and I think when some positive news is released the price will go above 10K.

newcomers will always come here looking for info about cryptocoins  , if they see a crappy thread they will assume that it is crappy coin... If you look at our first page it does look really bad comparing to others coins' thread.

I'd say it is a matter of taste.
Maybe it could be "polished up" a bit.
But, when you need a lot of fancy images and other bling bling you usually hide that there is no actual substance. Every coin has super duper flow charts (from pointless to imbecile, but hey, arrows pointing at things) etc. pp, but usually the promising imagery is the only thing that ever happens to those coins....

You are 1000% right, but remember how important first impression is. Everything comes down to make ppl curious about blackcoin. That when the see this thread they go like.... " ummm this looks nice let me check this coin"  .

My opinion... this thread should be a hook to get newcomers to meet blackcoin.

There is still truth in it. It should not be necessary, maybe/hopefully that will change one day
That's why i try to keep my "little news postings" visible on the last page(s), reminds me that i should do that again tomorrow (pretty busy job wise atm, sorry...)

that is really worrying..i wonder if he bailed and sold off all his BC

[McKie]

No he didn't run off and bail. He is working with another group atm and isn't working with BlackCoin officially anymore. He wrote an explanation at BLKFeed.com no one uses this forum really anymore. We're all there

[logicalblueone]

While blkfeed.com is great, it is really important to keep posting in here also. It is great exposure if anything else. You need more exposure and simply not replying in here is going to mean new investors don't see this at all.

True. But all major anns and major posts are made there. Important people know its there. AND it has links at the to BACK this very thread. Check it yourself.

[logicalblueone]

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with your mindset.

While it's great to have major announcements on the blkfeed, you are diminishing your audience by not also posting those major announcements here in conjunction and taking this forum as seriously as any other advertising medium. After all altcoin enthusiasts are all over this board.

Your biggest mistake would be to disregard the largest forum for bitcoin and altcoins alike.

Sure there are childish posts and FUD and the usual rubbish on here but you have to take the good with the bad.

I know I have been doing this for 10 years with various large forums in my home country and on a professional level. You get idiots on there and people with an obvious agenda, most intelligent people see right through that. And I'm going to take a stab that there are a LOT of intelligent people on here.

If no one else wants to do it, fine i'll take time out of my day to do it. I can scour the blkfeed and reddit looking for any announcements that have failed to find their way here. It would just be blind sighted not to. But let me reiterate that simply ignoring one of the biggest gatherings of like minded individuals is just plainly stupid.

BLKfeed is great and it can and eventually replace the need for having to use BCT, but that could be a very long way away.

Using BLKfeed is great for preaching to the choir of your existing investors, and it may pick up a few new ones on the way, but THIS is the place to get people to go there and to invest in BC.

Anyone who sees interesting news on BLKFeed can post it here as well. It doesn't have to be anyone "official". Which reminds me I should start reading BLKFeed.

I agree. In my opinion it will help if everyone starts reposting the information that's coming through blkfeed. I've did so on various occassions in the past (with the quote and source thingy, you might've seen it :p) but we all should. That will help carry the weight across more people and it will also make sure the information is more easily widespread.

So feel free to repost important information and announcements here, or on Reddit. (or in whichever other communities you are involved, should it be related)

That way we get more reach.. It's important we do

Why's it become so quiet here?

maybe people keep on eyes other hot coin,.so..

Actually no.
We just do not keep OUR (== community) eyes anymore on the pump and dump/trolling shithole the whole Altcoin section here on BTCTalk has developed into.
200 clones, shitcoins and outright scams per month battling for a top spot on that bloody [ANN] subforum... what a joke.

Get over to blkfeed.com or our subreddit if you are interested in BC, very active community and way, way better places to be

Problem is, this is still the first forum for people to look at. Even worse, the old BC ann thread (that has no link to the new one) is still #2 on Google.

we asked the bitcointalk mods several times to allow us a link to the new thread and other resources on the first and last page, afaik it was simply ignored every time.

You also cannot force people to post or even read in this crap forum anymore... with all the stuff going on a linear thread is simply nonsense. Of course we would be up to 2000 pages in no time again if everybody was using this thread _only_, especially if we did sort of live mintpal price reporting like many do, but for what?

btw, no one who sees google results will believe that a serious coin has no home but a single thread on a 3rd part forum ;-)

The first Time I heard about blackcoin was on a youtube video, so I  goggled it to find out what it was . As a result I found the old thread which seemed dead . That... plus the way the price was falling made me think for a while that this was dead coin.

Right, that's what I said earlier already too, when the old thread was closed. The old thread had many trolls, but it had weight and high search rankings. Thousand of sites link to bitcointalk.org which gives this forum a high ranking in google. Coins that are debated on this domain get attention.

That this is a 3rd party plattform doesn't matter at all. What matters is the attention the plattform gets. A Facebook page with 1000 posts has more attention than a small forum with 1000 postings because facebook has better reach, a twitter hashtag with 100000 tweets is more "a thing" than a single forum with the same postings. Also, look at pages of old alt-shit-coins. They all promise "the future" and "super secure, super fast, the best currency for 21th century" but what people, outsiders, say about it is important and if there is a community that gets new members constantly.

I know, that bitcointalk.org doesnt allow to link to the new thread, but that would just even more mean, that this thread has to be filled and linked to beat the old thread from search rankings.

I agree that this is of paramount importance.  I understand (in theory at least) the advantages of more modern, non-linear forms of communication - or linear but more  dynamic (IRC), but the fact remains that 90% of all crypto-investors start here... and a majority of them stay here too.  It reminds me of many products, marketing plans, companies, etc. that have tried to force their market into a different paradigm.  Sometimes it works very well.  I remember when everyone said that tablets would fail because who would want them? (Apparently everyone is who).  But other times it's quite the opposite (new Coke, Windows8 Metro, Blackberry, etc.) and the company/product winds up leaving behind the very market it requires to succeed.

I'll do my best to repost things here that seem interesting/applicable to investors (old and new) that are looking at BC potentially for the first time - because I will be the first to admit I hate reddit more than almost anything in life... sorry, think of that what you will but it sucks ass as far as I'm concerned.  I'm glad that Blkfeed is getting going, but having a moving target/source for information is not the best way to approach SEO nor even to inspire confidence in those already familiar.

Just my $0.02.

A linear format is particularly useful to people that have busy lives and only have time to view a few pages per day... it makes it much easier to catch up on everything that's happened without dealing with different filtering methods and ranking changes.  (In reality I prefer IRC to anything... but that is even worse for historical information than reddit, so a forum does indeed serve a valuable purpose for some).
