I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

you can only generate coins via PoS with the coins you already have in your wallet. If you don't have any blackcoins already see my post above.

Hi, about a week ago, I had some help via a couple (JamesR1 and XbladeX) of members here with some issues I was having setting up my config files. I know that this will probable seem very simple to most of you, but I am having a nightmare getting my head around it. With BlackFriday looming around the corner, I would like to get myself up and running if possible.

I have entered my BC Address via My Miner over at Blackcoin Pool.com

I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

The best way to mine blackcoins is with the official pool. Blackcoinpool.com

In order to create new coins you simply need to hold them in your wallet for some time and allow them to stake.

In the case of BlackCoin, it will start to stake after about 24 hours in the wallet and will generate 1%/year or 1/365% per day

Steam money for blackcoins is amazing. Also, would be an easy way to convince gamers to mine on the multipool.

May go on the group buy for the titan.

I'm definitely in a Titan group buy if we can somehow materialize that. What a simple way to reinvest back into the coin.

Minimum 8 hours. It depends on how many coins you have as well.

How can you mine if its PoS?

Jusdt mine any coin, ex: dogecoin, sell it to BTC and then buy some BC (BlackCoin). That is the way the blackcoin multipool do.

[STT]

So 365 BC should more or less give another 1 coin per day per wallet

[GreekBitcoin]

So 365 BC should more or less give another 1 coin per day per wallet

per year

[Charloz24]

So 365 BC should more or less give another 1 coin per day per wallet

No, it's 1/365% per day so 365 coins = 365*0.000027397 = 0.01 coin per day

I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

Buy some or mine on the Multipool - http://blackcoinpool.com/

Can we do this?


While we wait for the press release, there is one thing that needs to be fixed to maximize our ROI.

When visiting BlackCoin.co I immediately notice that the "Buy BlackCoin" section is way below the fold. The Buy BlackCoin section should be above the fold and should be one of the first elements the visitor sees when visiting the homepage. When people read our press release they are going to visit BlackCoin.co, and they might want to buy a few BlackCoins. We have to make it easy as possible for them to get their hands on BlackCoin.

Unfortunately for the average person not familiar with crypto-currencies, using an exchange to buy coins is a daunting task. First you have to convert Fiat to BTC or some other crypto-currency, and then send that currency to an exchange, and then trade that currency for BlackCoin. The average person will never be able to do that. We need a service like CoinBase that will make it easy for the "grandma" investor to be able to buy BlackCoins without the extra steps. We as a community need to come up with a solution for that in the near future.
