So you are gonna develop from scratch a wallet and make propietary so no body will copy it.

I bet you will use large ammount of Open Source Coda, is a cryme agaisnt humanity to use FOSS code and then
sell it as comercial. be carefull.

I want to point out the menu launcher is not open source, that was created in house. However, the wallet is open source and no changes were made to the wallet. Just think of when you insert a CD for the first time for a new graphics card, usually a cool menu pops up and then you are able to make selections..etc..etc. Well it is the same thing. However, the menu is related to everything BC.

if people cant review the code, who can we be sure it doesnt have a backdoor?

Crypto is here because FOSS Free Open Souce Software, i will never use a non open source wallet. Nor work in a closed form manner, thats not the spiryt of crypto

thats my opinion.

No..it is a commercial product. I do not want every coin developer copying and pasting the code, and then recreating what we have done. However, you do not have to run the software included. You can just load the standard wallet alone and lose the custom start up menu, it is your choice. The start menu is just launcher that gives you access to everything associated with BC, it also can auto update the wallet when a new version is released.

Project Accept BlackCoin.

One of the things that make an altcoin important is merchant acceptance. To help with this we want to ask the community to do some footwork. Of course, this is BlackCoin and we will provide you with a prize if you succeed in converting a merchant to a BlackCoin merchant.

The fund is 40,000 BC big, and it will be given out in the following fashion:

1000 BC - If you convert a new Brick & Mortar shop to a CoinKite client that accepts BlackCoin
800 BC - For new ‘high value’ merchants that do not yet accept any Crypto
600 BC - For new merchants that either do not yet accept any Crypto or only accept BTC at the moment
200 BC - For new merchants that accept several sorts of Crypto’s already.

These bounties are for the person that converts these merchants, not for the merchants themselves unless they themselves decide to add BlackCoin to their store. However, you can share your bounty with the merchant you add if you wish.

Proof has to be provided in the form of e-mails etc. These can be printscreens shown to Soepkip in the ##blackcoin channel on IRC or in PM here on BTCTalk.

* ‘high value’ means a high ranking in their field, a store that is popular within it’s product group.
* http://www.blackcoin.co/update-2/accepted-here-signs/ ← Signs for merchants.
* http://www.coinpayments.net is the currently the only payment processor for BlackCoin.
* http://www.coinkite.com will support BlackCoin come June 1st!
** ALL SUBMISSIONS ON APPROVAL BASIS **

I admire your commitment, IconicExpert. One more ordered!

As a developer I completely understand.  I too maintain a very tight reign on my source code (as it's my livelihood at stake).

On the other hand there are two risks that as a PR/Marketing guy you can understand well... as you've already as it relates to your company and it's reputation... basically brand dilution or destruction.

This is a pretty fine line to walk here.  While I'm perfectly fine (for personal use and that of my friends) in being able to wipe and reload at will.  With something carrying the BC logo and name... but allowing anyone to wipe and 're-purpose' it remains a potential problem in another scenario.  Suppose someone (who is not honest and supportive of BC long-term) purchases a number of the cards and loads a keylogger or similar malware on it, or even more simplistically simply dumps the private keys associated with the wallets... and then hands them to people who then load them up... and wake up to missing BC - the damage would be smaller than a 'Mt. Gox-ing' but could still represent a threat to the brand itself.

On the other hand if the code was 'vetted' by Maarx and Rat4 - perhaps with a MD5 on the site which would be checked to verify that the entire contents of the card (other than blockchain and wallet.dat obviously) hadn't changed since issuance.  That might go a long way to assure holders that it was safe to load value onto the card.

Something to keep in mind at least, as although today 1,000 BC might seem like chump-change... it might be a good used car's worth in a year.

can someone confirm the free shipping is worldwide before i order? Specifically EU

That is not true. You get 3 pages with mixed comments of enthousiasm and with questions on how secure it all will be.

Those latter questions also have to do with enthusiasm.

Dont' take it for fud.

Also, Soepkip's idea is great, to seal the things.

I am going to point out something very important. Everyone here wants BC to go to the moon, no one more than probably me. I understand everyone's concerns,  but what you are actually doing is slowly killing BC. There was mistrust with the press release, and then eve after the release was live fud by OUR members was posted. Now here WE have a chance to raise the bar and do something different, and instead of trusting that I want the best for BC, you post 3 pages of FUD. If you guys do not stop BC will become the next MINT. Do not get comfortable with the 9000+, people are just holding to see what is going to happen next.

I trust IconicExpert too
And I will definetely get myself one of these cards =P

It's just we have lot of people into software here. So the discussion is a legit one to them/us. If a trusted company can vet the software and verify the end- product software is the same- that would help though

But you're on that, I believe, IE

I was just trying to be funny not spread FUD!  I for one trust IconicExpert already without the software being vetted.  I wish I could buy the blackcoincard with my credit card I don't wanna cash out my BC to buy.
