Bullion (CBX) 'the Digital Precious Metal' | 2019 Roadmap published

[BTCat]

Looking good BTCat, hope we can get some interaction going on this project - would be a good one. Also, perhaps target a Chinese translation version as well - I know that is a target market.

One suggestion I have after a quick read is to clarify in 1.2 the the inflation is maximum of 2% per year (or annual inflation). I know some get confused on this so never hurts to specify. I agree this is one of CBX strengths and a high point of interest for me personally.

Also, I received your PM and will be sending your bar out as soon as possible. I apologize for the delay with the forums being down.

Thank you, no need to apologize at all, I appreciate the effort.
I've added 'Annual' to the text if this is what you meant.
Chinese translation is a good suggestion too. We'll need to decide after a first version then I can see if it would require extra funds or if it can be done easy. It may well be a good investment to reach out there.

My 2 Satoshi's worth of ideas for video.

Text headers for each of your points with a voice over explaination for each in a little more detail.
Visualisation of an open vault with stacks of gold bullion bars inside.
Camera slowly zooming into the vault throughout the video until at the end a close up of of one of the bars reveals it is made up of a matrix of 1's and 0's. With a slogan at this point

Crypto Bullion
Virtually Solid Gold

 

Thanks.
I think we need to look for the key sellingpoints mostly and squeeze out the most important qualities, as in the term 'less is more'. The textheader is a good idea we can play with graphically. We can gather suggestions for text per paragraph? Example:
1.1 What is CryptoBullion
1.2 Why invest in CryptoBullion
1.3 Exceptionally Rare
1.4 Store CryptoBullion

We already had idea for a Vault and definately goldbars, plus some electrochips/energy transmission or other ways to 'digitize' it. The vault may be too difficult, the animator already said he couldn't make it. We would need to purchase a 3D vaultdesign or borrow a design without copyrights.

I agree with Elambert that virtual is not a clear expression and quickly associates with virtual world with objects and such. Digital Precious Metal I think is a great slogan/statement.

1.3 CryptoBullion is a descendant of Bitcoin and Peercoin but employs an advanced security model, which is more efficient and more secure. It is designed to emulate the properties and supply of gold while providing the bearer with interest.

I think this can be improved, mainly because bearing interest is mentioned in 1.2 already.

example "It is designed as a store of value to emulate the properties and supply of gold."

Agree on removal of redundancy.


Suggestion for 1.1

1.1 CryptoBullion (CBX) is a cryptographic secure peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that allows people to send money to anyone all around the globe. It was first introduced in June 2013.

Suggestion for consideration:
1.1 CryptoBullion (CBX), first introduced in June of 2013, is a secure peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that removes dependence on third parties by empowering its owners.
- Take complete control of your finances
- Become your own bank vault
- Send money to anyone, anywhere on the globe quickly, privately and at almost zero cost.

Keep the ideas coming guys please! This is a perfect project for the community to collaborate on!

One thing I would like to add is with regard to using the word 'virtual'. I think we should refrain from using this term even though per some of its definitions 'carried out, accessed, or stored by means of a computer, especially over a network' it is accurate, however, others can be misleading. Some of the synonyms that can be misleading (and I worry how this term translates for these reasons) are 'simulated, artificial, make-believe'.

Yea I see your point. Virtual doesn't translate too well and can be mistaken for something of no existence or of fantasy.

I still think the slogan has room for improvement. Something catchy. It doesn't even have to have any relation to cbx itself. Just a hook to catch attention and stick in the mind. What's everyone think?

1.3 Using both bitcoin and Peercoin technology to create an advanced and efficient security model. Crypto Bullion is designed to mimic the rarity and supply of gold, without the limits of holding a physical commodity.

Off to work, back later, take care everyone

Seems efficiency will be the key to a successful crypto currency in the future and the media are cottoning on to the fact.

I'm excited to see the IRC client incorporated into the wallet. I think that will help community involvement a lot. Keep up the good work guys!

Agree 100%! IRC in the client will be a huge gain for the community.

Agreed, virtual does not sound good.


In my opinion this coin (CBX) has everything to succeed, yet you have to put yourself in investor's shoes to make it an attractive place to put his money (you once claimed this was "the investor's coin").

This coin needs more visibility. Chinese exposure would help, but this is only one aspect.

Also a meaningful PoS reward would help (1.5% is irrelevant - 3-5% yearly would be more appealing)

Guys these are all good; at this point worrying about where to put a comma or which word to add is not the best spent energy for this coin. Other (successful) coins have very weak slogans.

If nobody comes to the site, it doesn't matter what is shown on it. The site is nice as it is, we need to bring people to it.

Hi, Chris.

Thanks for reaching out. I have added CBX to our discovery list and our development team will look into them when they begin to decide on the next coins to add. We receive several dozen requests a day for new coins to be added so can not assure you we will add your coin, but we will for sure look into it and see if it makes sense for us to add at this time. Any new coins we add will be announced on our social media channels as well as via our email list. Please feel free to connect:

Shape Shift,

I am the founder of the crypto-currency/commodity known as Crypto Bullion (CBX) - "The Digital Precious Metal".

Crypto Bullion was launched in June of 2013 so it is one of the oldest coins in existence. CBX is a PoW/PoS Hybrid that has completed its primary distribution and inflationary stage. With less than 1 million coins in circulation, CBX can only grow by a maximum of 2% per year between PoW mining (.5%) and PoS interest (1.5%). We have a solid and dedicated team and target a market niche - low mint, low inflation coin investors.

Our team is constantly working on improving Crypto Bullion and have some game changing updates coming. This coin will be an excellent addition to your platform for clients trading and investment portfolios and has lots of room to grow.

CBX hit an all-time high price point in December of 2013 at over $5 per coin but is currently trading at an enormous discount of 5 cents per coin - so there is a great opportunity to gain a potential 100x on investment.

Our primary trading platform is Cryptsy (US based). We would love the additional exposure to your users.

How can we team up and have Crypto Bullion listed on shapeshift.io?

Here is our website for additional information:

Looking forward to hearing back from you...

Similar technical coding changes have been applied to CBX in the past, only to be met with less and less investor interest, and falling price.

Technically, CBX is already flawless, it's a gem, it's perfect. Let's not touch it.

What I would like to see is a strategy to make CBX seen more, a better marketing approach.

Technicalities won't help.

Hello my old friend!
Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough feedback. It is appreciated and I do agree with you for the most part as usual

Its nice to see such a civilized community with gentlemanly leadership, as we can see in CBX. Thank you for the warm greeting: I am old, but not that old: just older than you ;-)

I pop back in this thread from time to time; last time I quit intervening as I had to let you try what you felt you had to try, with the disappointing results we see today (price is everything - CB price will guide how useful our coin will ever be). I am always watching CBX, have kept my position and added some to it; and now it seems I have your attention. I still see a great opportunity for CBX, but we are going to have to: (1) bend some old rules, (2) review your 3 stage plan with an open mind; and (3) add a bit of marketing elbow grease to the equation. I think some elements of your 3 stage plan can help, but overall I do not like it.

Good job for the web site guys; it is really nice and we can certainly work with this; this was useful.

I come from two areas where my experience can be applied to a quality Crypto such as our CBX - marketing and financial markets.

Yes, I will keep bringing up the fact that the low income rate of CBX is not helping its cause: it is based on the false economic assumption that maintaining an ultra low inflation and  austerity will translate into rarity and value - PoS could be doubled - without notable effect on price while bringing back miners on board. I warned you about low PoW interest of miners and its effect, now it seems we have to spend 10 BTC to fix this, and this was avoidable (still is). I like the low inflation and small monetary base of CBX, this makes it an easy to fix situation right now - I like low inflation, just not that low.

I really liked the 1 minute blocks of CBX; I feel the 10 minute time of BTC is a problem when sending coin - it just takes forever and I see this as a problem with BTC. As for the blockchain getting too big, sorry but why is this a problem all of a sudden? Now merge mining and moving towards SHA256 makes me feel we are surrendering. I like my CB to remain independant, people will want to merge with CB, not the other way around.

This is all I can say publicly; let's work together if you will let me in (and listen to my points).
