[GPUC] GPU Coin | Mandatory Wallet Update

[DougB62]

I don't see what all the desperation to get on a major exchange in such a hurry is. All that is going to lead to is the big bag miners that earned millions from launch to dump as it is. We should be telling our friends about the coin and building value around it while the dev finishes his website. I also am for the developer setting the initial price i.e. 1 million GPU = 480x (just an example don't crucify me). Once this is done we've officially established that the 1,000,000 GPU = $475~ and only a nutjub would post a lower sale on any exchange medium. AT THAT TIME it would be wise to move the coin to an exchange, because if anybody actually dumped it below 1,000,000 = 480X levels.. I would buy the hell out of it and enjoy my gain in GPUs.

Once this market floor is set, the dev can begin to resell the coins and start purchasing more GPUs with minimal loss risk. The absolute worst case scenario is that there is just short delays between order batches until the coin starts picking up momentum.

The whales are already holding bags of this just like any coin, whether we open an exchange or a purchasing medium first they will dump regardless.. we have to sift them out and spread the coin out before anything happens. A "big" exchange with a valueless coin is NOT going to help us.

I say all this having barely earned any GPU with my crappy pair of 5770s so I'm not a big holder.

In the mean time I'm going to be writing up a few articles explaining why I predict this coin is going to succeed big time as long as the dev keeps to his word and begins selling hardware for coin. I have a few resources I can use (including my brother who has a herd of followers under his wing in a non crypto community who is becoming majorly interested in what I'm doing). This is how we have to get things rolling guys, the dev isn't going to single handedly make you all rich, you will get out exactly what you put in. Buying and Mining a coin alone isn't enough when were buried in a sea of competition.

If anybody wants to upgrade my pitiful 5770s, I'll be trying to do so with GPU coin, feel free to donate: Gfydhxhq6MLHUXaxpYmyt8tsMcbsSA9yiz

Good luck, I'm rooting for this coin - one of the few attempting to actually assign physical value to a coin beyond mere speculation.

I agree with all of this except trying to set the price of a GPUCoin: all cryptos find their price, it is all up to market pressures. That price is not found overnight however. This coin has only been rewarding big blocks for less than 5 days and people have been whining for over 4 of them. Get a better attitude and look to the future! The cries of, DEV needs to post here continuously!!! DEV needs to pay for this and that and whatever else I can think of and why wasn't it done yesterday b4 I could think of it!!!!, are really non-productive. This coin doesn't belong to the store owner, or at least not anymore than anyone else. It belongs to us: the people with coins in their wallets. It has ever since the wallet was made public. Same as any crypto. Do for yourself, vote it onto mintpal and cryptorush. You want it paid for because your are too impatient or lazy to click a vote button? Open your own wallet and make it happen!! OR get back to voting and promoting. Its hard to tell, but my best guess from current voting speed of this(and other older coins trying to stay ahead) will put this on cryptorush a couple days after store should launch. I'd like to see it happen about 3 or 4 days b4 store launch ideally. The movement behind this coin is so far just about the best around for a coin of this age. But WE can do a lot better!!!

I agree wholeheartedly. I am voting hourly on mintpal, and a few times a day on cryptorush (I am not on Cryptorush as often as mintpal, but I try to remember to go there each time I vote on mintpal). How many people are following this thread? If everyone took the time to vote hourly, we would get this coin to the top of the list in no time.

I Don't have scads of followers on twitter, or a million friends on facebook, (or any other social media for that matter), but I do tweet, post to my fb friends, and a few other sites. I post to several forums, in different threads (throw it in where appropriate - not spam a forum), and talk to rl friends about it. I have gotten a few people to mine this coin. That I know of. There may be more that I'm not aware of, through posts/comments I have made in various places. Don't forget that part of the "buzz" is planting seeds, and leaving them to sprout. You may never know how much interest may be spawned by one of your casual posts or comments. Every single positive thing, that every single individual does to positively spread the message, is what will cause the value of this coin to rise. I was taught not to expect anything of anyone. Therefore, if I want this coin to succeed, I need to take the steps to help it to do so. If everyone adopts this attitude, it will grow beyond our expectations, and do so quite rapidly.

I'm going to crawl back into my mining cave with my measly 750kh/s miners now, and try to get a few more coins. I will never mine enough to get a GPU. But I am hoping the market value takes off enough that I will at least get a huge discount (I won't have to buy all the coins I would if I wasn't mining).

Just started mining this coin,
excited to see the direction of this coin upon store front launch.
anyone have an idea what these coins will be worth?

[madbit1000]

Gentlemen, I am sure James and his team are extremely busy i would have thought. with any start-up, there will are always some teething problems. This can not be an easy project to build from scratch.

Remember there is nothing to stop you mining, the pool providers would be more than welcome to accept you into their pools.

The coin launched went very well as far as i am concerned, with some slightly over exaggerated mishaps at the first leg of the launch. It will now just be a matter of time before the products will be available to purchase from the online shop.


Thanks guys you have done a grand job and i wish you every success in this venture.

[bananahunter67]

Just a thought, but as far as I can tell, unless I've missed it, looking at the front page no jobs/bounties have been posted so far.

Wasn't part of the 75 million GPUC supposed to be for this?

I'm just thinking, it might be a good idea to post a bounty for making a marketing video or something else to attract attention to the coin.

OF COURSE!!!
ELECT FINALLY SOMEONE FOR MARKETING AND MAKE A VIDEO!!

[g.r.o.s.s]

marketing? hell no! let me mine on low diff.. if the store is real and well run ....

[illiki23]

illiki23 : because posts get lost so quickly I will make sure to follow up on this request, as I doubt the CEO will see your post next time he checks this thread.

I will also request that we get a picture of the GPUs once they arrive.  Please hang tight, I wouldn't expect anything until the end of the weekend (at the earliest - might be next week).  I am trying to appear on this forum as much as I can but I am also trying to build the actual store front at the same time.

Once again, please use the official forum @ http://www.gpucoinforum.com it is so much easier to organize requests/posts and will make sure all threads gets addressed.

Thanks.    It will alleviate a lot of concerns to get more information about what is going on.

I am glad he hired some PR - us investors have money in this so things can be a little anxious.

You are doing a good job, and I look forward to an update as to the status of the GPU purchase with the IPO funds.

[hendr1x]

SP4RKS : We definitely have funds (both USD and GPU Coin) set aside for marketing.  I think an intro video is a great idea.  Obviously people have been asking to spend it on getting on exchanges.  If there is any other ideas lets hear them....maybe we can start working on them next week.

DougB62 : awesome job.  Post your address, I want to give you a tip!

I detect a small amount of sarcasm in that reply haha

I rarely look at the full first post I just presumed that the usual bounties for marketing, translation to other languages etc would be on there.

Well, while I think that it's completely unnecessary, I will humbly accept.  (As my mining equipment is sincerely lacking.)
Thank you! GXMtqgG66vLZJ386Abc15pEMhnBHwDvLBS

[Lunesta]

it would be awesome if the market would land gpuc/btc so 280x would cost 280.000 gpuc.

But on the main subject I believe that a marketing video could really get things going. If
it looks very professional people will see it and one of the seas of ideas to increase value
is to show people that the creators and their team is professional and believe in their idea.

Whether they are professional (which I do believe they are btw) is beside the point. What
matters is general opinion of the coin. You have to interest them, appeal to them and
make them believe it has a future. If you interest enough people the rest will get interested
due to the amount of people interested--chainreaction--.

Getting a video viral, some articles and maybe some people to talk openly about the coin
on youtube or somewhere though it will happen as soon as people start picking up interest.

Maybe even get a reddit page up (if it isn't)  for a bit of buzz. Might be a bit early but it
happened with auroracoin and here back in Iceland people didn't really have any believe in
it and of course considered it a scam. However some random guy started buying pizzas
and delivering them to houses for 4 auroracoins which was like 36 dollars back then and
a lot of people actually caved in and went mining for the sole purpose of getting a "free"
pizza. (That guy must be pretty happy now btw) But it managed in that small way to
get a bit of buzz and get people going. The store is of course going to be the main buzz
here but wasn't the idea of having it open 2 weeks later so that the market will settle down
before it gets up and running. At the moment the opposite is more likely to happen. At
the moment no one is buying and too many are selling but as soon as the store goes
viral everything will get crazy.

I believe we (yes we.. devs, creators and the community) need to get the value a bit up
before the store launches. And the way to go is videos, articles, getting people to realize
that now is the time to buy because the coin will get more expensive as the store launches.
The coin needs to be more profitable then electricity but more importantly people have to
believe it will because it won't happen any other way. Better yet miners would need to get
some sort of deal (sounds impossible though) to keep everyone from mining more profitable
coins and exchanging over when they have enough for a gpu. Though in theory it sounds
like a good thing you have to remember that a coin needs both its traders and its miners
to work properly.

The funny thing is that a part of me doesn't want the coin to get its value up right away.
I'd just be back to getting less then a 1k gpuc per day with my "fantastic" mining setup.
A little bit of a desperate plea (addresS: GSDyivZQWgRouL9eVSKjU9KRKFWQwtajq2)
If it keeps moving this way and the price goes up I'd get a lot more gpus then in the
other case though it'd be healthier for the coin.

Just had a little idea, might be good, might be bad or even terrible but here it goes.
What if every 5000th block or whatever the miner who found the block would maybe
win a gpu or discount or something that he maybe couldn't trade in exchanges but
would make him bloody happy anyway. I'm assuming that even though people are
assigned to pools it gets written down who gets each block but I don't really know
exactly the program works so this is probably not a doable idea but wanted to share
it anyway. Hopefully I'm being more helpful then a wall of pointless text

[madbit1000]

Does anyone know if anyone was appointed for PR

The coin value will not grow fast. As this will be a gradual process. why you ask.. Because if the miners leave to mine other coins and only purchase form the exchange to get hold of a GPU. then there will be less miners mining the coin.

Which will eventually push up the price of the coins. Then the miners will return back to mining and then the cycle will continue. So there will always be ups and downs. As more and more people hear about people getting GPU's the rush to buy coins will start all over again.

So don't worry, the coin will sort itself out, and right now  this welcomed break is relief i am sure for the director, James.. To get ahead.

That's good to hear, maybe if you could get the CEO to post a Bounty on the front page someone with the know how might respond?

As far as getting on an exchange I think Mintpal is the next logical place, if everyone who posts in this thread signed up to the exchange and made a couple of small trades, I think you can vote up to 5 times an hour, you can also place votes costing 0.001 BTC if your rich and feeling generous.

We are quite a way off the top, we currently have 1009 votes whilst the top coin EMO has 68,230

So get voting

This is an interesting idea.

It would be neat for pools to be able offer a discount code or coupons to miners who who stick with them or find blocks.

GPUCoin would have to issue these discounts to the pool owners to hand out as rewards but it seems doable.

Sent a few GPUC your way

I like the idea of a giveaway for for a certain block found although may be hard to prove identity if mined on a pool.

Could maybe have it so that who ever guesses or closest to the correct price in GPUC that the first Graphics card sells for wins the same card?

This could be sent out on twitter and hopefully people retweeting would again generate interest.

[SP4RK7]

My mistake it's actually EMO I've never heard of it to be honest.

I think what happens is the same that needs to happen here, get everyone voting as often as possible and then the Devs/CEO chuck a couple of BTC at it to give it a good boost up.
