Around 400-450 should be fine to make it less attractive and have less fluctuations in block times PROVIDED dedicated hashrate remain the same.
4-5 months ago it would of been possible to keep the price that low but now with so many buyers people will buy up coins at those bargain prices if anyone had to try force the market down.

Guldencoin is at a place where a dump would reverse just as much as a pump. This is good!

I think they mine constantly, with lower hashrate at higher diff and higher hashrate at lower diff. Not switching totally off and on, I think. Mean hashrate of CM about 3-3.5 GH/s atm? But that is just a guess.

NLG is just a small gain of the total of Clever. Clever has to compete with other MP's, so they will keep mining all scryptcoins, as Terk said. Multipool total hashrate is dropping since months, because profitability is getting lower and lower in btc. Maybe turning point will come in the near future that people see it is better to mine dedicated at good coins, than short term profit on MP's?
Below total hashrate CM. (top spike is december 3rd)

Very welcome Life4mining  

@Life4mining here a message from neogulden.com poolowner!


If you need any special requirements for the static difficulty the pool owner is willing to open up a port for you. He understands you have other demands with a power of 5 GH/s.

I have to agree with LTEX on this one.  Cut the ties with BTC trading, especially bittrex and exchanges that allow autotrading and API access.  This sounds counterproductive, but it serves two purposes.

First, it cuts CM's, and other MP's, feet out from under them.  Without a autotrading exchange, MPs can't function.  Second, it brings trading focus back to the Euro, and unties NLG from BTC.  NLG did a good job of not fluctuating with BTC's and LTC's swings... that was a huge selling point for my team when we first got involved.

Now I know a lot of people would be like "but what about a main exchange for BTC trading".  Well, you make one.  An official BTC/NLG exchange with no bells and whistles.  Like exchange.guldencoin.com.  No autotrading, no APIs, nothing.  Just a place where dedicated NLG users could trade some coin.  Community built and community run.  Trading fees go to the dev team, and the community gets an official exchange.

I know that's a lot of crazy thinking right there, but it makes sense when you start thinking about it.  I don't expect everyone to agree.  It's just my $0.02.

Outstanding idea , what about doing a fund raiser like was done for the iOS wallet. I can 100% trust this team to deliver if they say they can to build an exchange and have buy in options for credit cards etc.

What does the team think of the above?

From of now also, without an account, buy Guldencoin using Ideal!

We also thought of our Belgium friends, you can buy Guldencoin using Mr. Cash!

This is the second tier 1 project that has now come online (paysafegulden.com being the other). Giving more direct cash/fiat to NLG options without the bitcoin middle man, this is part of the plan to not only have fault tolerant (backup) services for Guldencoin but to also have direct payment sites without any noise and all focused on Guldencoin.

One of the biggest complaints from users is confusion when they go to sites that list all these other coins and creates a big distraction.

This also allows easy access for Dutch and Belgium users to get their hands on Guldencoin without even having to give away their identities or hassle with making accounts with us.

Building an exchange isn't the hard part though, it's getting the right paperwork to not get shot the fuck down. It will take a partnering with someone with the proper licensing (read bank, insurance agency, private bankers or financers) or if someone without licensing wants to or needs to do it would take at least 6 months to get the right paperwork and licensing. And then it's uncertain if it would get approved.

However, we do really need a EUR/NLG exchange, regulated, fair, transparent. I've been toying with the idea for a while, but the real obstacle would be the right papers and partner. I know a few people in private banking that could do this both with the backing of EUR aspect and having the proper financial licenses, but I rather have someone else picks this up as it would require 110% effort and focus.

Now, we could step out of the Dutch laws by going through some sort of deal with the Swiss and a Swiss bank. Pairing NLG to CHF. Which would be very prestigious and lucrative for everyone.
