We probably want to keep the number of huge claims about big investors (that end up being nothing) to a minimum, though, so as not to befoul our beloved coin's image...

FINALLY! A wallet that doesn't crash on my OSX 10.7! Thanks InstaCash. (BTW, Instacash sounds like a loan/check cashing type of biz lol) 

Just wanted to raise an idea with the group. I really like BLK as a symbol for BlackCoin, and it could be legitimized fairly easily.

BL is the country code for a small island: Saint Barthélemy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:BL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Barth%C3%A9lemy

The way the ISO currency codes work, the first two letters are an ISO country code, and the last letter is determined by the country itself.

We have a good precedent in ccTLD's (domain names), where small island nations which were blessed with a useful country code have leveraged their names. I don't think selling ISO currency codes will be nearly as lucrative, but the same principles apply.

Finding the right person or group to speak to would be the first challenge, then the ISO. The island is not presently marketing .bl domain names.

Could be an interesting little side project/publicity stunt though.

Ok, I never agreed to anything. As of now I have no affiliation with CryptoSteam or Co.

Been following this closely for the last 2 weeks. Website looks good but needs the latest news on the main page, or in a news section. The news about coinkite and yahoo finance. It's nowhere to be seen, except for a single thread on a bitcoin forum which is now lost in a sea of text. It needs to be shouted out to new people visiting the main blackcoin site. Facebook also needs more likes (currently only has 250) and more regular updates posted on there. I also can't really see the point in the IRC channel. Why not just post here and get more publicity? It's basically the same sort of chat, but the interface is stuck in 1995. The main blackcointalk forum needs more exposure if blackcoin wants to separate itself and take over from bitcoin. I understand that bitcointalk is the one with the most traffic, but if blackcoin is to really take off, it needs to stand on it's own forum eventually. I'm sure there are more things i can think of, i'll post if i think of any more.

I love being part of the community so far. Love the blackcoin logo (very elegant) and love the way things are progressing so far, but it could be better. Just thought i would add my 0.2 BC  

Thank you for your comments. I have been waiting to see what you would post. I think I have more than earned the trust of this community.

1. I announced the press release and raised money for the project. I used the money exactly the way I said I would.
2. I announced BlackOut Weds and 10 minutes after my announcement the price shot up over 1000 sat. That is a FACT...
3. By Tuesday BlackCoin was trading at over 10,000 on 2 exchanges. This was way before the CoinKite announcement or Multipool buy support.
4. Our press release goes live and the entire community was and still is talking about the release. Even BITCOIN tweeted about BlackCoin.
5. By Afternoon NYC time, buy support was established at multiple levels on Mintpal, and more than 30 BTC was spent just to establish a stable floor. Ask anyone trading and they can confirm this. This has never been done before in the BC market, who do you think put up all that BTC? It wasn't mysterious magic forum trolls that put up that buy support.
6. After all the news and hype BlackCoin is still trading at an all time high and has not quickly retreated to 7000 after reaching 9000+, which has happened multiple times before.

Now sir tell me how wasn't the promotion, hype, or press release a success???

PS: I came through on EVERYTHING I promised and more. I also remember YOU saying you would donate after the press release went live. Lets see YOU follow through....

EDIT: I want to make it clear I am not demanding donations. I could care less if you donated. But I am pointing out if anyone didn't follow through it was you.

just do your thing, people will donate or not. I did because I think your a straight shooter. you don't have to answer every criticism though. Let the price of BC do that for you

Thank you....but I refuse to let some troll try to belittle the work that was done over the past week. I could care less if he donates or not. However, I was pointing out I kept my word, but since the release all he has done is criticize. Anyone reading his post would think I took the money and didn't deliver anything.

coinkite will be implemented on or around june 1st. it is set in stone, but has to be implemented first.



i really like the idea of black on one side gold on the other and b in the middle.. but the logo is pretty decent looking the way it is. thx for this post, it shows some global attn has been received. that's kind of a big thing.
