I am maintaining constant contact with the bitcoiners community in Brazil.

I ask kindly include another store that accepts Blackcoin. this store is in BRAZIL.

Greetings from Brazil

Blackcoin will win the world and acceptance of most traders, let´s keep our focus at  the job, and stop talking shitcoin here!!!

Hi send a message to Soepkip along with a thumbnail (400x400 or larger squared). He will add to blackcoin merchants! Thanks for supporting

Please can you send the message to Soekip? I do not quite understand what you say, sorry.

Guys look at this, it seems scam or clearance sale?

Just think out one marketing activity for BC. Now BC dev team prepares a Titan which worth 9995USD as prize to the lucky miner, I think out another alternative way may be better.

You guys must heard about Playboy accept BTC couple days ago, looks like they're an open-minded media. I suggest, the BC dev team can use BC or BTC to  buy some activity from Playboy, for example, one opportunity to have dinner with a playboy lady. Use it as a prize to a lucky miner, who win it can take a dinner with a sexy lady.

I guess most miners are single IT guy, this prize should be interesting and attractive to them. What's more, the behavior itself is an advertisement to BC and Playboy, I believe many other media will report it.

How do you guys think? If you guys think it's good I'll email to the BC team. The community can donate for it.

not bad of an idea IMO

10.000$ could also be a very big marketing campaign, adds, commercial etc.. to get more exposure.

and this will make EVERYONE win, not just a single person that goes away with a prize.

If the value goes up, everyone wins

[alison03]

Agreed. Anything that has the ability to go viral = win for the coin and for all involved. I think that, or something kind of 'out there' like that, could grab a lot of attention.

exactly, that's also how doge community got so much exposure, with charity, Nascar etc..

+1

Agreed, the exposure is what we need if there is a give away, better overall for everyone. Heck, give someone famous a BC wallet loaded with $10,000  in BC on it, and try to get some endorsement.

That's what I'd do with a giveaway.

Does anyone knows of a online dropshipping website were you can create custom tees mugs and stuff to sell in a webstore?

Yesterday I suggested in IRC that we make some crop circles of the Blackcoin logo all over the world, and then let the news figure it out. Crop circles can be made by a few people in one night. Everyone seemed to like the idea.

Okay, maybe that's not a serous suggestion...   But I think if everyone tried to think creatively about promoting Blackcoin then we'd come up with some awesome ideas.

If we cap 1 wallet.dat = 1 mil BC would that help with security ?

No, people can always just set up more wallets...

Actually he is correct (although I still think it's a non-issue really).  Multiple wallets would not stake at the same time nor the same amount - so that would prevent control.

Although that's not as much of an issue anyway.  In order for a PoS 51% attack to even have a tiny prayer of being successful the "over-stake" would have to be in the same address not just the same wallet.  So I think we can shelve those concerns until you see a single address on the 100-richest list that controls 10M+ BC at a minimum... and really until one has 15M+ it's not likely.

Even the largest exchange cold wallet addresses have 3M or less in each (which would not be nearly enough at this point).  In addition - based on my observation of staking - a wallet that was incrementally grown to a large size would not work.  The entire amount would have to be transferred in at once, to a single address, in order for the coin age to all be the same and therefore to stake all at once.

I could be wrong about that, but that's the behavior I observe.  So even if there was an attempt to double-spend... it would become obvious to anyone observing the blockchain long before it was viable.

I'm very concerned about scrypt asics. Knc titan will deliver 250mhz of scrypt which basically kills gpu mining. Is the any way we can prevent this from destroying the BC pool?

GPU miners on the pool will be able to mine x11 and probably other algos soon. We'll have our own KNC titans on there before too long.

Buy a titan and point it at the pool... then sell or game on your GPUs

No they won't ship them until they have mined all the profits for themselves.  ASICs are the biggest scam in crypto.

Looks like 45k is holding up nicely as a floor of support for us.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an URGENT and HORRIFYING announcement.































The Blackcoin subreddit has yet to breach 1,000 subscribers.



JOIN THE SUBREDDIT: http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin

984 Strong. 16 more to break 1,000.

I'm very proud of our progress on this. Over 500 new users have joined the Blackcoin subreddit in just 8 days. The best part is that these aren't just numbers - we've seen a huge amount of activity and discussion, and even some great new ideas to build value for Blackcoin! Blackcoin commmunity, it is time to break 1,000 here.

Cannnnnnooonnnballllllll

+1. Those who made profit should also consider getting ASIC scrypt miners and pointing them at the pool. That is what I'm doing.

  That is seriously so awesome. Really, something random like that would be perfect. Make the media be like, wtf!?!? and get exposure for not just this coin, but crypto's as a whole. I think the crazier the better...obviously the Nascar thing was great, but besides stories that play on emotions, the unique ones are the things that tend to go viral the most, which in turn, opens up new conversations with a wider audience (even if only temporarily as a first touch - thinking back to the "Rule of 7" marketing adage).

I remember last year a group of people dropped dollar bills (wrapped with the company's logo) from the top deck of our baseball stadium promoting a 5k race or something. It made not only local news, but got tons of national press (that wasn't even needed). Just something unexpected that turned heads. I love the crop circles, lol!!

How, typically, does the process work to get these things off the ground? Maybe start a Reddit thread to brainstorm? Then escrow to gather coins?  

[yourstruly]

If you did something like crop circles we would have to compensate the farmers or it wouldn't give off the classy image we are trying to build.
