Can anyone answer when and how much the block reward goes down?

[micryon]

Can anyone answer when and how much the block reward goes down?

half, every 250k blocks.  4 times max.

If you check back a couple of pages I think someone posted it unless I'm getting confused with another thread.

Off the top of my head I think it was 450 days and the block reward halves

 Hey all you guys that say you havent got your IPO or whatever reason you have for needing to talk to CEO, why don't you just hop on IRC? GPUC is usually signed in there....

on another note, have you guys read the stuff about cryptsy's bug that allows for price manipulation? I saw it on reddit and I'm not sure if it's just doge or what but it sounds like they know about it and are trying to cover it up rather than fix it so I think cryptsy is a bad idea. If they really are playing games and on their way to being gox for doge then it's just a matter of time before they are done. Atomic is a good exchange, just needs more volume but it's there if you want to buy some cheap GPUC.

Ye Atomic-Trade is a really good exchange I'm not sure why more people don't use it.

Byronp the owner seems like a decent guy from what I can tell and is really up on security on the site.

Going off what I read in the troll box yesterday he also covers at least half of the online BTC with his own personal coins incase of anything going wrong.

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!

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

i feel you on that. my daily computer is what i mine on. i've got a single 7950 and using that + my cpu to try and get as much gpucoin as i can.
just made a deal with a guy for a graphics card last week and after payment never got a tracking number.. feel like gpucoin is about the only thing that can save me at this point.

[Lunesta]

Sent you 600 a while ago. Did they arrive?

dont know if you meant me or SP4RK7 but
for me nope and in that case don't worry.
the thought is what counts

Really like how this community is starting to roll from
"HEY all its a bloody shitcoin, haven't gotten millions yet"
into a community really trying to promote the coin.
I've got a good feeling about this.

the problem with the formerly suggested and modified

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.

would probably be that there is nothing to prevent the pools from taking it for themselves
though pools usually run on trust and experience though not completely. Granting something
to the miners that'd be fair and not easily sold is probably too complex and difficult if possible
to do.

Another small idea. How bout rewarding returning shoppers at the shop. Nothing much
since the goal is to have the price as low as possible and it shouldn't leave a lot of space
and it shouldn't come from the gpuc staffs pocket. But enough that it didn't only pay off
but actually would payoff more the next time and then people would possibly come again.
Bulk offers might give the same experience where friends group up and therefor the coin
has been promoted to their friends. Even if they weren't interested before they'll definitely
be interested after that experience. Im just trying to fill the floor with ideas. If any of those
were to stand out and seem like/would work I'll gladly post them on the gpucforum

From checking out atomic-trade, I see several annoyances. The password policy of needing symbol, uppercase, lowercase and digit. Giving an unhelpful error message on password reset for pw that don't meet that criteria. Not giving an error message at all when you try to change it after logging in. It also looks like the minimum withdrawal is 1.0 btc!? which is just plain ridiculous.

I'm not sure what your complaint is here apart from you maybe had to input a password twice. The site makes sure that you have a random, very hard to brute force password surely this is a good thing?

Minimum withdrawal is 0.005 BTC where are you getting 1 BTC from?

All exchanges are technically a bad idea. There are no laws or regulating authorities for these exchanges. There are no audits. There is no transparency. There are no rules stating they have to let customer's know of security breaches, bugs, or exploits. They could scam every single last person out of every single bitcoin they can, close up shop, and walk away and there would be nothing anyone can do about it. There are a million and one ways exchanges can scam you an you wouldn't even realize it until it was far too late.

Treat every third party wallet with caution. Keep only what you need there, and withdraw everything you don't. And for $DIETY's sake don't put any private information on these sites, especially given the terrible track record these sites seem to have in regards to security (not that there are any laws that require them to be secure). They want you to upload a photo ID, bank statement, and a bill to your current address? Tell ya what, just tell me your name and I'll see if I can low-ball the price for your identity on cheapamericanids.ru for ya.

[PCJargon]

The only exchange I trust with my personal info is Coinbase, because they're a legit registered business that has been funded by a venture capitalist.

I understand where you are coming from as far as sending personal info to a random exchange not something I have ever done.

What is the deal in the US as far as sites that also allow you to withdraw in $ I thought they had to be registered and were therefore considered more legitimate?

[tylerderden]

i agree completely. my point though is that the warning signs are all there for craptsy. I think everyone should avoid them until they at least admit the issue and fix it. until then I don't see any reason why this coin should be pushing for that exchange.

[gitm]

I personally would love to see this coin go up on:  https://mcxnow.com/

They are by far the fastest exchange I have used, plus they have a lot of incentives...like gaining interest off your coins    Just my 2 cents.

[greatwolf]

I'm going off what I saw from the atomic-trade interface:

[bitwarrior]

I'm not going to speak for Jaymes but the rig frame is only a small part of what he is working on.

In regards to finding a PR person, last night he posted a request for anyone interested in the position to PM him.

It would be good idea if there is a separate thread for the CEO, COindev and PR Informations that is only them can post so that this kind of info related to the gpucoin's status do not get buried with other stuffs. And to give us a more definite view of how is the updates coming.

Thanks.
