"Why VC Tim Draper bought all those bitcoins" http://www.cnbc.com/id/101816404#. "But the money does not lie in mining the currency, which is done with powerful computers which crack code problems to free up bitcoins. That space is competitive, and most of the people mining bitcoins are probably doing it for fun, Draper said. Instead, it is the currency's usefulness that will fuel its ascent." Reading that article, it sounds like Tim Draper needs to buy himself a few VeriCoins!  This it the next step in crypto evolution. Taking it out of the niche groups that control 30-50% of mining production and finding a crypto that begs everyday people to spend it. Will it be VeriCoin or another I do not know. Usually first to market means something in crypto. The team that shows the vision usually leads, while the others catch up. People who need money transfer want ease of use. Mining complicates the whole bitcoin equation. To go mainstream you need to put it in normal peoples hands and have them benefit from the service. The whole it doesn't have value because its pulled out of thin air is nonsense. The services being created around the coin are what give it value. The more innovation / things you can do with a coin, the more value it naturally has. Wasting power does not equal value. The technology is here. While most coins focus on making a anon feature more anon, or trash talking other coins success. These guys show that they see a market out there much larger than crypto is currently. VeriCoin wants to take new people into the crypto world. Not take others share. The hardcore crypto nerds probably don't need a service like veri-bit, so people come here to troll its value. When the fact of the matter is. If grandma wants to send lil Timmy some money for his birthday last minute because she forgot. What is the fastest way to get money from 1 part of the world to the next, while also being the most convenient for a new user? The only option right now for most people it Bitcoin. VeriCoin with its integrated wallet features has the potential to be the first coin where you can say. Well, there just might be a better alternative for you grandma than Bitcoin! Its actually more useful than a bitcoin. Being the first coin to leverage Bitcoins full ecosystem from within the wallet, plus access VeriCoin payments. That effectively makes VeriCoin the worlds largest crypto payment portal. A great start for the PR team to work with in the months and years ahead. Very well put.

What makes you so sure? Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it hit 50k again, but I'm starting to become ever more skeptical of this coin =/ Too many of the features are not yet implemented. When will we see this Ver-SMS in action? When will the new website be launched? What exactly is going on with Veri at the conference in a few days? So many promising features, yet so few are actually implemented..

Of course if you want to sell, I'm always willing to buy cheap VeriCoins.

Great to hear that more of the features are already implemented =D What can we expect from the NABTC?

It seems only one mobile operator is cooperating with us in AUS (I'm not sure which) for the AUS gateway. For NABTC: New website, new wallet, new feature.

Just to be clear, I support Vericoin, I hold quite a bit of it which is currently staking, I'm just wanting to confirm that all the new features etc are coming along as planned =D

The only thing not implemented is FIAT... and that's because we're STILL waiting on Moolah  .  Being on /r/Dogecoin/ for a while, I have come to love Moolah, have a lot of trust and respect for the guy, he deals with a ton of BS, but I think he has more projects than he can handle sometimes. Which is one thing when doing things for yourself/your own company, but when trying to partner up, *sigh*.. I just can't wait to see how everything will work out and am hopeful

Vericoin is really pushing the envelope getting crypto to a stage at which anyone including grandma can use it. It's fantastic work. I think it's visionary. It's all about utility. Nothing comes out of the box fully evolved. Getting into VRC is easier and easier but the problem still remains that getting out of VRC into Fiat without internet / smartphone is very difficult. I know there are projects like Outernet etc aiming to provide free global internet access (including BTC blockchain) but they are still a long way off. Meantime millions of people only have access to dumbphones. No internet. No bank account. No Wi-Fi. No crypto exchange account. Not a criticism but what use is a wallet full of VRC to them?  VeriSend gets the VRC to the dumbphone but how will people cash the VRC into local currency? Scratch card solutions are centralised and vulnerable to heavy markups. It's a huge issue for millions who work abroad and want to send money home to family. Is there some way for a dumbphone to securely communicate directly with an ATM by SMS / Bluetooth or could a code sent to the dumbphone be keyed into the ATM so as to access local currency? Easy for me to identify the problem but a nightmare to solve it. Anyone any ideas? It will change the world forever.

VeriCoin had a great day on Wall St. discussing VeriCoin with some corporations. We also found some time to make it to the Bitcoin Center in NY.
We (Doug and I) are going to be hosting a party at the NY Bitcoin Center in the Financial District of Manhattan (across the st. from the NYSE!). The party will be in late July (date still not set in stone) and we will have lots of cool stuff to give away (VeriCoin Tee shirts, stickers, paper wallets with some VRC, etc.). We will also be bringing food and drinks.
Doug and I are happy to help contribute funds for this party, but if you would like to contribute, please send some VRC over to this address (the Party Fund): VJ61hq3A8RCq79uaWAFe56J3ri5RvitN15
Anything unused will go to the VeriFund.
It's going to cost a few thousand dollars to have a hundred shirts to giveaway, a DJ, etc. but we think it's going to be awesome. The tentative date is set for Monday night, 7/28, at 7 PM.
Please help us host the Very First VeriParty in NYC!

We need local merchants to accept vericoin/bitcoin. If you don't have internet access on your phone that merchant should be able to offer free wifi for people paying with digital currencies.

Yes you are right. A good part of the answer.  However, in Indonesia for example, it is illegal to trade ( buy goods using crypto) but OK to trade crypto for fiat. Also, merchants in small towns are unlikely to want to accept VRC direct but might be willing to have an ATM if they get a percentage from ATM use. Also, ATM's might help reduce the problem of price hiking by middlmen. The world is so varied we will probably need many solutions to get VRC into mainstream use. It's already way ahead of other coins that are about as useful as a rubber crutch in a swamp.

The answer to your question was just discussed about 4 hours prior to your post. Not sure how you missed it but here it is: tomorrow will be the day for vericoin.. just wait and you will see
