Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating...  If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it.  You need to pick another person or else the contest would be very unfair.

GPU Coin LLC now has no money and owes the bank $1500(should have never signed up for the business credit card).  I originally bought the R9 280X cards for $472 each from a distributor since they were the only people who had any stock of any graphics cards, most likely due to their over inflated prices.  The 270 and 240 were also bought at slightly above market value at the time.  Shipping charges (including materials) averaged $27 for each item sent due to many international orders.  I was selling at a loss thinking that the pre-mined GPUC and the inherent quality that most crypto coins are deflationary would make losses much smaller or negate them entirely.  Then all the gpu prices across the web came crashing down and BTC dropped down real low effectively snubbing the market.  The 8 way splitter I hired a company through e-lance to create cost me $4500 and it still has another 2 months of development before the milestone for delivery is completed.  There were also various lawyer fees and legal documents I had to pay for just to set up the business end.  The grand sum of the endeavour that I now have the 2 R9 270s and 20 R7 240 cards that I saved for the signature contest which I still need to front money to ship and now hundreds of millions of GPUC that there is no way of cashing to buy more stock.  My private mining rigs have been churning away at other coins and dumping BTC to the Mintpal vote in hopes that this business venture could be saved, but with a lack of funds and essentially no stock, there seems like nothing I can think of to bolster this coin.

If there is anyone in the community that can think of anything that may help this coin, please come forth and share.  I currently work two full time jobs to cover my sisters rent and my own so she doesn't have to worry about any more shootings, so my free time is limited, but PM me and I'll try my best to fix this situation.

I think there is way too many coins, this is the main problem!

So a good way to fix this would be to make a GPUC 2.0, with a lot less coins, while also making sure all current mined/bought coins remain valid.

So in GPUC 2.0 you would have to lower the block reward to say something like 100-500 coins. I think Scrypt-N algo is too hard for new people to use, and the future is all about energy efficiency, so maybe switch the algo to something easier to mine like Keccak or X11 etc.

Another thing that can boost adoption/price would be implementing POS into GPUC. Maybe do something like Blackcoin and switch to POS only after a certain future block, but not too far in the future (maybe a month or so). People would be mining/buying these things like crazy, imo. Then you would have a coin that is energy efficient and easy to mine, plus gives people another incentive to buy/mine (not just for buying GPUs). Imagine people would be able to buy GPUs with their POS mined coins (basically free).. now if that's not incentive enough, i don't know what is. Smiley

Good Luck!

Good plan... make whales of everyone who has coins; Then let the new people scrounge through the aftermath and sell walls. And what exactly is difficult about scrypt-n for new people? that extra number you have to stipulate? They are all equally easy to mine you just don't like the khash number that you are getting. There is nothing more or less complex about mining for the miner between scrypt-n, keccak, or x11. You test settings, make a launch script, and double click it. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are actually controlling the complexity of anything.

Maybe it's best idea someone willing to make business and being serous to buy all the coins from Jaymes on a low price and start all clear with new OP etc...
However IMO reputation of this coin is ruined and why would one start reviving it instead of making it's own coin?
The only good thing would be to take the huge amount of coins from Jaymes and hope for a price rise which to provide him again money to start the business. However I do not see the price rising easy whenever.
Maybe last hope is when ASICs come and people turn to scrypt-n.

You should know better to enter yourself as a participant in a contest that you are running.

Just give it to the next in line.  The whole contest was a sham anyways because the owner disappeared and gave absolutely no indication they were coming back.  I changed my sig a few days ago after waiting for a very long time to see if the owner would come back.

You should hold the contest over.  If I knew the coin was still alive I would have kept my sig.

So is the owner now saying that he lied to us about being able to get wholesale GPUs?

I think he is just scamming.  Either way he is lying.

If James is back, I could maybe get my wallet bounty please? Been waiting for it for a while Cheesy

Hi all! Happy upcoming Easter to all of You!

I would like to claim Linux wallet bounty. There is no bullshitware in this app as I'm not familiar with wallet code, so its unchanged original code and I compiled it from latest git sources on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. Damn boost libraries, had to put in a lot of effort to compile wallet... Cheesy I did a test receive and send transaction, seems to work. I sent coins from faucet to first user with GPUC address in signature that I found from the end of this thread. All operating system info and proof that it's working is in screenshot.

If someone does not know, wallet.dat is in hidden folder in your home folder. (see screenshot)

I would like to receive my bounty on this address: GaHCtiCNPFM1Nqf3YkcRNV4kq3pLNMnozS
Also, tips welcome as well, as I spent more than 2 hours on this Cheesy

Download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!iJRjEYCQ!6jknsjFskISIEeeyNKkKZei8pVRVModMx3_1ItlUC1E

P.S. Whoever is running GPUC faucet from home page, something is wrong with deposit address as I was not enable to send coins back. Wallet seems to not accept that address.
P.P.S. From now on, I accept Linux wallet compilation requests for BTC. PM if interested.

Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating...  If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it.  You need to pick another person or else the contest would be very unfair.

oh but according to him no one is next in line, only him which is shit because I had 63 posts at the time of the contest several in this thread and 365, blackcoin, octocoin, amongst others. It doesn;t matter he has already decided he is going to get something from gpuc one way or the other even if it furthur damages the coin. that's the nail in the coffin for me i'm done with this waste of time coin and bullshit rigged contest where the only eligible winner is bob barker.

I think he is just scamming.  Either way he is lying.

He never could get them wholesale the first time around, and I warned him about that, and I told everyone else the same. Nobody that he could deal with was going to give him a super sharp deal, especially when the large volume distributors get first dibs to the monthly shipments from asia.

I think it curious that he has stock remaining,  a good amount actually, and makes it seem like he can't liquidate. He can definitely liquidate and be out less. Unless he already liquidated and just didn't say anything.

Seems like he can put this as business #3 that he ruined.

Hello Everyone,
I would like the communities input on what to do with the websites.  Unfortunately I setup the api/escrow system on a dedicated server which I decided to cancel due to the high monthly expense.  The rest of the sites I can keep running as long as needed.  I set the inventory on all items in the store to zero so we have some time as things are currently.  The only thing I don't control is the domain gpucoin.net.  I assume if the community wants Jaymes would transfer it to us.

Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating...  If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it.  You need to pick another person or else the contest would be very unfair.
It doesn't state in the rules that I can not. If you see it stated somwhere written apart from your own mind suggestion, please link to it.

You should know better to enter yourself as a participant in a contest that you are running.

Just give it to the next in line.  The whole contest was a sham anyways because the owner disappeared and gave absolutely no indication they were coming back.  I changed my sig a few days ago after waiting for a very long time to see if the owner would come back.

You should hold the contest over.  If I knew the coin was still alive I would have kept my sig.





oh but according to him no one is next in line, only him which is shit because I had 63 posts at the time of the contest several in this thread and 365, blackcoin, octocoin, amongst others. It doesn;t matter he has already decided he is going to get something from gpuc one way or the other even if it furthur damages the coin. that's the nail in the coffin for me i'm done with this waste of time coin and bullshit rigged contest where the only eligible winner is bob barker.

actually i'm next in line with the most amount of posts.
the 270 went to pastet, then the rest of use got the 240s

but in gpu's post he said he held onto two 270s for the contest.. so, not sure if being the second in line, if i should actually get a 270. if so, that makes me very happy.

here is the post from the contest

Hello Everyone,
I would like the communities input on what to do with the websites.  Unfortunately I setup the api/escrow system on a dedicated server which I decided to cancel due to the high monthly expense.  The rest of the sites I can keep running as long as needed.  I set the inventory on all items in the store to zero so we have some time as things are currently.  The only thing I don't control is the domain gpucoin.net.  I assume if the community wants Jaymes would transfer it to us.

why were there so many sites? as a fellow site builder, the general idea of a site is to have everything under one roof so you can keep things simple for users. seems like a waste of money keeping up with that many domain names also.
i personally would like to see everything under www.gpucoin.net one site, one design. my guess was to get a seo bump, but that's not all that effective when trying to develop something to use, its more of a practice of selling those get rich ebooks nobody is dumb enough to buy.

Right now one of the main problems is as moderator of the contest, pastet98 was the one adding up people' post counts and keeping track of things.  This puts him in a position where he has insider access to information related to the contest.  I understand that I changed my sig (because i thought GPUCoin was abandoned by the owner, which is completely reasonable) so I am not qualified.  But to put yourself in as a contestant into contest that you moderate and control is a serious conflict of interest.  It is basically common sense that this is unnacceptable.  If I had known from the beginning I would have protested but I don't recall seeing the moderator of the contest declare himself a contestant.

For example if the moderator of a contest is keeping track of the number of posts, and knows only four people are eligible, he can easily just start posting a bunch in the last few days.  It allows for cheating.

It's simple, coin "IPO" means scam. And the person who ran the business was incompetent.

Also please stop signing your user name at the end of your posts. We all can read your username just fine, it has been driving me nuts for months. It's inane to sign your username on every post as if your username is not present some where else in the forum.

Insider information... You are not stopping to amaze me really. The "insider information" can be seen by anyone who check the profiles on the contestents on Bitcointalk and track their posts between the first one and the end of the contest. You see me not as a declaring contestant... Then look better. As OP states that in order to register to the contest only one requirement is post in the contest thread which I have obviusly done.
Still can not understant what allows for cheating and what "insider" information I have. But anyway. I am not going more to discuss this with you as I can not stand anymore your wining style you have shown in sround ten pages of this thread as I do not have neither the time and the nerves to loose with silly conversations with you. Seems you neither succeed to understand that Jaymes is not owing you anything after he gave you your IPO coins, I doubt you will understand the contest problem as well.

oh but according to him no one is next in line, only him which is shit because I had 63 posts at the time of the contest several in this thread and 365, blackcoin, octocoin, amongst others. It doesn;t matter he has already decided he is going to get something from gpuc one way or the other even if it furthur damages the coin. that's the nail in the coffin for me i'm done with this waste of time coin and bullshit rigged contest where the only eligible winner is bob barker.

Your post was in less than 5 sections.
Section is not same as thread.

P.S. Thanks to BaiMangal for his nice vouch: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=550206.msg6492508#msg6492508

After all this I consider this topic closed as everything is much more than clear.
I also am sure that this contest is the last problem of GPUcoin now and all discussions and efforts muct be put in the right direction regarding this, if there are any volunteers to revive the coin.

I am verry sorry for this!
I just realized I made and error and there were 2x r9 270 and 3 x r7 240 allocated.
So as obviusly there are onl 4 qualifying guys, one r7 240 will not be allocated to anyone, and yes, you are correct, you should get r9 270 as me.
I emailed Jaymes about this but I doubt I will get any reply from him so just let's hope he has still not sent anything and you get the right.
If you get the r7 240 tough, please PM me and if I recieve my r9 270 I am ready to provide it to you, either it or the money from it after I sell it. That would be fair compensation as this is my fault.
