[ANN] [CDA] CanadaCoin- POW/POS countrycoin with CanadaDay AirDrop

[canadacoin147]

You should have first a good market exchange like cryptsy or mintpal..... canadacoin is not active enough on market (not visible as well)
    The wallet is really too slow (time) to initiate.

    The POS is really a problem, because you cannot let you wallet open. If you let open your wallet the POS system generates thousand of transaction into your wallet and the effect is to block your CPU to the ceiling  (actually I fight with 22000 transaction into my wallet because I have left my wallet open 24/7 to help...).  The result is: I have 130000 coin in 22000 dust coins. To consolidate I have to send to myself not more than 1000 coin at a time because if I try more the transaction fail for unexpected size.

    It needs also more communication with the bitcoin community.

thanks for feedback.

it's a catch 22 with bigger exchanges, they don't want to add unless you have good following, and it's hard to get a good following unless you on a big exchange.

Well, we are certainly not the only POS coin out there, so I'm guessing that we are facing the same issues as others with regard to the proliferation of "dust coin". Is anyone aware of how other POS coins are dealing with this?

I don't have any experience with PoS coins except CDA so I can't help with what's going on with other PoS coins.  I'm wondering, though, how to at least consolidate my coins so the wallet runs better?  Currently, my wallet constantly remains about 40K blocks behind the current block and is always "updating" but never catches up.

Do I just create another wallet and send myself the coins in the first wallet as it seems glop has done?  If I do that, will the first wallet update quicker and eventually catch up?  Also, does the PoS start again on the new wallet so that, eventually, I have to do it all again?

Thanks for any suggestions provided.

Regards,

Chris

I recently learned its better to consolidate coins earlier rather than wait till after many minting operations (unless your goal is plenty tiny amounts - to maybe send to many addresses). This is especially handy to do right after a minting operation, when the coin priority is low, as to not compromise coin weight later on.

Dev,

How many individuals have claimed cda so far?

Any awareness push among Canadian citizens on your part?

Thank you.

thanks for asking...

Canadian claimants have been disappointing. Less than 50 signups to date.

Money was spent on facebook ads, press releases were made for the Airdrop and there has been active push on our facebook and twitter pages, as well as some SEO work done for organic search results.

We have an Ambassador Rewards (aka Affiliate reward program) to help users spread the word. Users get 147 coins for each referral that also signs up.

We need to find an innovative way to disperse hundreds of millions of coins to Canadians for free.  Open to your feedback, and involvement if you want to help push things along.

Unable to verify my identity using a Quebec area code (438) in your form. Could be the issue of a few of us.

I don't know how much sponsorship/advertising is, but Phil Ivey's company, Ivey League training, is sponsoring the Canadian Poker Tour Summer Showdown: http://ca.pokernews.com/news/2014/07/ivey-league-joins-cpt-summer-showdown-as-key-sponsor-4509.htm

"This series looks to be the largest we have ever hosted as we expect prize pools to more than double the half a million dollars in guarantees. With players able to participate at 18 years of age and with no withholding tax, Canada is a premiere destination for players from around the world," explained Richard Keeley, CPT spokesperson.

Public moves like this are what will give the coin a presence. imo

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

The Official CanadaCoin Pool (http://pool.canadacoin.net/index.php) is closing this Sunday at noon PST (7 pm GMT).  If you haven't already done so, please log-in and withdraw your coins by that time.  Any coins left in the Pool's wallet when the Pool closes will be considered a "donation" to CanadaCoin.

Another reminder...  if you have a large amount of coins to withdraw, please do it in blocks of 5,000 CDA or less as there's a known problem with large withdrawals that causes them to not go through.  If you have any problems withdrawing your coins, contact me at pool_op@canadacoin.org.

Thanks!

Is the rocket about to launch?

or is it a dud?

[whatsabitworth]

Go Canada Go!

[roadies]

So the coin is officially dead now?

[beitris.dwlul]

SO dead!

[CryptoBlox]

Unfortunately, due to inactivity and lack of support and development, the CanadaCoin Block Explorer has been shut down at CryptoBlox.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to the community.

sorry how things went michael

Having been resentful of the sudden death of canadacoin, (I put extra money into this coin) I realized the coin was in fact stillborn - it never even had a chance to see the light of day, which makes it even more tragic. Reflecting upon this situation moves me to a place of contentment as I realize I myself exclaimed some time ago...

I don't know much about technicalities of blockchain safety, but want to say after seeing legions of new coins arising: "may the best coin(s) win!" , whenever that will be known - somewhere in the future

...and even winked at the end, not fully realizing that I myself was directly going to be affected by the meaning of this very statement - somewhat ironic isn't it.

Well, time moved on, like it always do, which is good because with that change comes along as well, and new opportunities arise. I am happy to say I too moved along with time and would, if I could, lay a flower at the grave of this beautiful coin.
