I am done with the drama, lack of community (or support) for this coin. I am migrating to 21 coin personally. It was a great ride but this is silly. I loved hitchhikers guide and back to the future (doc brown/hendo) but that is not enough. When maco posted recently that he was observing in the 21 thread it pissed me off. I could not pinpoint why, then I remembered the "announcement" that the first coin would soon be mined, and the excitement and the call to the community. I also remember the actual response, a 42 video contest, wtf. A giveaway or lottery, or community event? no. a video contest to drive 42 advertisement. I made a video, with the plan that if i placed 1st 2nd or third I would divide my winnings among all entrants who failed to place. Of course I did not place, and consoled myself with a .42 premne there would be more contests, giveaways and community building. there hasn't been. I am out. There are better coins with better support and actual community not just drama nests for my time, intellect and resources. I say good day. I tried, and frankly, you should have.
we did a ton of stuff aside from the pizza contest... you are upset because you made a video that didn't win?
Hey, there is no drama here and lack of support. Hendo has been off for a bit due to his move out of state, I'll quote him soon.. but while hes been in a transition, he has been updating the technology for new improvements. I am observing 21 thread because I respect anyone doing the rarity project with limited supply of coins. how is that a problem?? We actually like clones of 42 because the crypto industry does need rarity and less large premined coins. it is great to have addition, but why is doing giveaways or getting community involved in adoption a problem? Isn't this how bitcoin started? If it wasn't for the guy who paid so much money to buy pizza in bitcoin, we wouldn't have had that buzz about the pizza costing thousands of dollars even tho the person clearly didn't know it was worth that much 1-2 years down the road.
In fact, everything you said that we did wrong, is actually positive things that any coin needs.
ALSO NOTE MODS FROM BITCOINTALK REMOVED GIVEAWAY THREADS - we hosted 3 pages of giveaways,
trivias, and contests... each thread had over 100+ PAGES of people earning 42 from the giveaway...
aside from the other contests we had going on... they pulled every giveaway thread BUT the pizza thread.
