[ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released

[Xosihc]

these prices of vericoin seems like a good change to buy in but I have some (noob)questions. If someone could help me with these  

Are the devs of vericoin still active ? What are they working on at the moment? What is the long term goal/ vision

Reddit seems to be where the most action is for vericoin? This tread dont seem that active at the moment. I actually mostly read btctalk only, so much to read to little time... are there things that are a 'must read' for vericoin?

Are there some projects that are done by the community?

Where do the devs update ? Here ?

Is there a reason for the down trend except the 'normal' down trend a lot of alts are experiencing at the moment especially those who a a beg rise some weeks/moths ago like drk, also volume seems low in the hole altcoin market, whales are on vacation ?

1. Yeah the devs are still active - I've reached out to them a few times and have often gotten a reply within hours. If you want to talk to them directly you can usually find them on the IRC channel.

2. A good 'must read' for vericoin just recently came out at the Vericoin party that was held a few days ago...  http://www.vericoin.info/downloads/talk.pdf

3. Someone can probably answer that better than I. Veribit... Veritalk radio... Andriod app to name a few

4. Devs update in IRC mostly, then people spread the word through other channels. I personally use bitcointalk.org myself so I complain frequently there isn't enough info here. But socal and a few others do a pretty good job trying to keep this forum updated.

4. Downtrend is happening because it went up 200% over a couple days (like most coins) and then is just coming back down to the norm. I couldn't even tell you what the 50/200 MA would be from a technical standpoint but we're probably coming back down to the norm. The mintpal hack/hardfork sure didn't help things either. Not sure if it will ever recover from that.

Outside of those last points I think VRC is still a great coin to invest in - I picked up another BTC or so worth a few days ago back around the 15k-16k area. Given the technicals I have a feeling you can probably wait a little longer and still pick up some more at a lower price but knowing alt coins and the way they move, at any moment it could jump back to 30k+

Thanks for you reply and info  

I will check out the irc chat, its blocked cause of security reasons on my pc have to figure out where that problem is.

I saw this on reddit the guys explains in a pdf what vericoin is, does and why he thinks its a good investment. : http://www.reddit.com/r/vericoin/comments/2bop8l/comments_on_vericoin_from_an_academic_economist/

just bought 10000 vrc to start maybe later on the evening I buy some more

Congrats! I'm sure the entire community would be happy to know you're supporting the cause.

This is just my opinion (so take it for what it's worth) but since VRC is still down trending at the moment i would probably just put a mental stop buy order on VRC around 20k. Just to be safe if I was still on the outside looking in, I would enter a position (like you just did) and then wait to make a 2nd buy until the trend has clearly reversed. While you won't ever time the absolute bottom doing it this way, you will at least make sure it's got some life to it before you get more involved.

Otherwise you can always do a dollar cost average and just buy in at set intervals (like every Monday for the next 4 weeks) over a period of time. Or you can just buy more whenever you feel like it =p I guess it's up to you.

I'm more heavily invested than I would like to be. Although I still really support the coin, from a logical point of view if I had any bitcoin left to invest into it I would do the first strategy I suggested: mental stop buy order at 20k.

Anywho - welcome aboard!

VeriMarket, is there one? I'm sure it's would be a game changer. It would be easy to code if VeriCoin already have ewallet.

Happy to hear about the iOS wallet, and decentralized exchange

[aragoon]

I know this will mean a centralised service integrated with legacy systems but if the proposed card CAN actually be used in any place Visa or Mastercard can be used, the team have definitely cracked it.
I fully believe in getting as much as possible decentralised but for the moment, I believe we must work alongside existing FIAT services.This would be a fantastic way to get new people into VRC and find how easy it is to use. I presume I will not need to have a bank account to get one of the cards. Think about that.
Most of the world is not American or first world. For now, most of the world uses local FIAT currency and crypto is of about as much use to them as a rubber crutch in a swamp. Sure, it's easy to sms or e-mail it to them but then what do they do with it?
I have an ANX (Hong Kong ) Visa debit card that I can top-up with BTC and it means I can work abroad and send funds to family without the need for them to have access to internet, smartphone, a currency exchange, a bank account or a local agent. There are fees but it gets things down to a simple set of steps. I buy crypto. I deposit. I use crypto to load the card in USD. The end user draws local currency from any atm that accepts Visa. Simples.
I wouldn't mind paying for the proposed VRC card to get one but I hope the card will not have a "loading" or top-up charge or annual fee.
I hope charges for use (ATM withdraw, POS purchases ) will be reasonable. The ANX card charges are too high.
One of the things I love about VRC team is the way they think outside the envelope and try to get VRC to the point at which anyone can use it anywhere.
Good luck with the card idea. If anyone asks why I do not simply use a bank Visa card it's because this way I can get VRC in front of people and without needing a bank account. Utility is the key to getting widespread use.
I think great work guys. You can put me down for several VRC cards as soon as they are available.

42 BTC sell wall jsut got pulled, hold on people, I think we could be in for a ride =P

EDIT: That sell wall was never going to actually get sold anyways, the seller would be mad to just let it get eaten.. So they pulled it.

EDIT 2: Sorry, it got put back...

It will getting eat up when volume start to pick up, the problem is everyone at bittrex right now. mintpal is shit. mintpal 24 HR Volume 1239.158 BTC compare to 2537.27 BTC at bittrex. I also notice everytime a coin is breakout at bittrex then mintpal and cryptsy would copycat into their shit site.
