Interesting point.
You think that the recent bitcoin price going down has made a few traders to get their coins out of mintpal and seek refuge in the $ or keep them ready to sell on bitstamp or btc-e?

This is exactly why I think BLK has the right idea. All the other altcoins who innovate anything is dumped because it is copied instantly on a coin with smaller market cap. While BLK focuses on fundamentals and marketing. That $30K PR investment may not mean much now, but down the road, I expect a pump from a mass media blitz. Now there may be a dump afterwards, but who knows when it comes to these things.

You show me an Adderall dealer that accepts Crypto, I`ll show you the next Bill Gates.

Yessssss    Ecuador 1 Swis 0

First of all, welcome!

Second, no your are not too late, BlackCoin is still young (not even 6 months old)

POS main benefits is that it is MUCH MUCH less vulnerable to 51% attack that Bitcoin is currently fearing. Of course it have other great advantage, such as MUCH mure greener for the environnement, just look at all those MEGA FARMS mining Bitcoins.

Hey all. Just wanted to say hello as this is my first post. I'm new to the whole crypto world and got in on BC a bit late @ 17800. I think Blackcoin is a very interesting coin, including it's community and occasionally I have some questions and thought this might be a good place to ask.

One question I do have regards a salient point Horus from Cryptsy made on Blackcast about multi-sig bitcoin wallet technology. Apparently this will allow third parties like Visa/Debit card companies to verify that you actually have funds available in your wallet, thus making long blockchain confirmation wait times irrelevant for merchants.

I understand that POS has several advantages over POW, but is fast confirmation times not it's main advantage as a viable alternative to Bitcoin? Or are there other major benefits that will sway the public over to POS?

BTW, as an investor, I'm not concerned over the recent drop in the market. I think it's healthy and I'll continue to buy BC while the dust settles from the altcoin shakeout.

With all the high school kids off for the summer there will be a lot of ADD tantrums for the next few months unfortunately.

Ok, thanks for all of you who provided information regarding new ETA updates.

Now I watch Ecuador beat the pants of Switzerland! 

By the way I am still waiting for someone to pay with BlackCoins here:

Something beautiful about Ecuador:

There's another very big problem, and that is just the amount of BTC that has been removed from the Mintpal pump and dump market. Volume on everything is down significantly on Mintpal for everything. SilkCoin's volume for being the new hype recently was pathetic.

The entire "single feature pump scheme" that we've seen over the past month or two on all of these coins is collapsing now, and it's hurting BC as well as it has had its volume removed from it due to BTC just being lost in general. People left BC, went to these other coins, and are now stuck holding bags over there.

So it means the moment when something new is coming for a coin. And usually after it we could see the coin dump. Right?
Thanks

ETA is "Estimated Time of Arrival"
Or my crypto dictionary usualy means Dump Time

sorry for my ignorance, but ETA is the acronim for what?

Thanks

Pretty sure he dumped, he had a really short time frame to raise funds so no time to really do it slowly.

So buy BC with ready protocool...
this is not killing feature for masses like SMS wallet ot encrypted chartroom - haha

Developers who can makes something for BC (nice list wow ) :

1. You are not supposed to understand what the commit comments mean. you are not the target group.
2. you should explain what you mean with "urgency"?
rat4 is working on a new PoS protocol because he sees potential for security improvements. If this was actually "urgent" every PoS coin would be completely fucked. Do you want someone to release an exploit or so before someone who has deep knowledge improves the protocol? You behave as if you were someone who paid him a million for getting stuff done until yesterday. I just don't get it.

If you change security way of PPC we don't need to rush just because we need price jump for security there is sense to rush things.
One bug and you blow up BC to ground Pavel need to do test attacks ext...

Developers who works around BC and add some work into code BC as you see rat4 is not alone at all:
https://github.com/rat4/blackcoin/network/members

And eg silkcoin wallet is ONE commit on git hub eg
https://github.com/shnurf/silkcoin/network/members

And here work of those guys:
https://github.com/rat4/blackcoin/commits/master

I am happy i want get better solution than HYPE all...

The github is confusing..  I dont know why the may 1st is on top of the commit 11 days ago (june 4rth??)

Unfortunately people get defensive but I just want to get some information that NOBODY is willing to put forward for the common people who buy BC.

Here are the commits of v2.  As I said before, I dont see any sense of urgency here:

As i said, i don't think that it was your intention, but you have not the slightest clue what you are talking about and that has the same effect.
There is no reasonable sentence that starts with "I am not a developer BUT" (or similar). Period.

You say there were no changes made although there have been a commits just some days ago... Even after i directed you the source of that you keep asking why he is not working on it??
Of course he is also working on the current version because the new protocol branch has of course the same code base and only some things are redone. Should he stop fixing current issues like the latest OpenSSL bug (which btw. hasn't been fixed by the vast majority of devs and "devs" yet...).

Sorry to bust in here out of nowhere, but I've been holding for a very long time (800-1200). Things done properly that are going to make people dump other coins to get in on bc take some time, it's what happened in the beginning and it will continue to happen. They're not spreading hype because the hype news is pretty much irrelevant to anyone but those looking to get out. this same kind of thing was being said around the release of the "black hole"... I can only profit as it stands right now, but it is what I believed back then and it is what I believe now.
greetings to everyone else here, and sorry I tend to lurk
