Its all part of the blackcoin movement. Surely all the promotional work has achieved certain goals. Without getting published on major sites everything cannot have the momentum it has.

As much as the multipool has made Mintpal money and they have given a great donation to Coinkite, the press release day has brought things together at the same time. It's a bit of a stars aligning moment.

There were question marks over the mining a few days ago, that could have taken a huge hit. Everything going forwards is pushing forward.

The pool MH isn't from nothing and people will realise that they have got a little less as the coin goes up in value. But all of this makes it well worth while.

why not use BLC instead of BLK?

I thought of it too, but I guess it looks too similar to BTC.

BTC | LTC | BLC

BTC | LTC | BLK

The BLK definitely stands out more. I personally would rather keep BC as I think it's kind of cool having a two letter ticker, but if having a three letter ticker is a requirement to move this coin forward, then I'm fine with it.

Why not start with an X letter so that Blackcoin is all set to trade on the world markets?  I already talked to Soepkip, but he wouldn't listen to me.

XBC, XBL, XBLC

I reckon it's cos X-something it not very user friendly to Joe six pack down the street.

I know having an X means it ISO compatible or something but me personally I think we should reconsider that later down the line. When Bitcoin's market cap was <5 million I doubt there much discussion about ISO
compliant currency names.. but that's just my take on it Smiley We could always have a community vote on it

I like BLC.

So what you are telling me is if we went ISO compliant, we would be one step ahead of all the other cryptos.  Sounds right down Blackcoins alley.

Look at Gold and Silver.  They both start with X, and they are worth a lot.  I don't think having a proper Ticker will hinder Blackcoin.  Rather, I think changing the ticker multiple times will more likely do harm.

Shouldn't this be competition?




The competition?
Any place will produce competition

QUESTION: why are they referring to it as BLK? and not BC? are we changing our symbol or just for coinkite?
Coinkite only accepts XXX symbols. I think Blackcoin devs decided to use both symbols.

Yes, also BC can be confused with BTC for some, that is why we choose BLK

Soepkip, why didn't you take my advice and use something that starts with an X?  So Blackcoin is all set for world markets?  I don't get it....  Sorry.  I told you yesterday.

ISO 4217 includes codes not only for currencies, but also for precious metals (gold, silver, palladium and platinum; by definition expressed per one troy ounce, as compared to "1 USD") and certain other entities used in international finance, e.g. special drawing rights. There are also special codes allocated for testing purposes (XTS), and to indicate no currency transactions (XXX). These codes all begin with the letter "X". The precious metals use "X" plus the metal's chemical symbol; silver, for example, is XAG. ISO 3166 never assigns country codes beginning with "X", these codes being assigned for privately customized use only (reserved, never for official codes)—for instance, the ISO 3166-based NATO country codes (STANAG 1059, 9th edition) use "X" codes for imaginary exercise countries ranging from XXB for "Brownland" to XXR for "Redland", as well as for major commands such as XXE for SHAPE or XXS for SACLANT. Consequently, ISO 4217 can use "X" codes for non-country-specific currencies without risk of clashing with future country codes.

The problem with MINT is the 20% PoS gives large holders an incentive to dump the 'free' coins, substantially increasing the selling pressure on the price. The opposite of what BC's low inflation and combined mining pool does.

Yes, in future the official abbreviation will probably be BLK, but the cool guys will still call it BC  Cool

What should be illegal is for a coin to have premine potentially worth as much as 420 BTC at one point, and then not give a single bit of it back to the community of bag holders.  Roll Eyes

4000 BTC worth of MINT were bought in the 30 to 60 satoshi price range. Now the price is 13 satoshis. Whilst Blackcoin has rocketed up. There is going to be a lot of MINT bag holders who are desperate and will do anything to try and regain some of their losses. I feel like this community is mostly well informed and smart towards these tactics and I've done my bit trying to make it clear that there's some "noise"  Grin in this topic the good readers need to block out.

ya i smelt that troll (bagholder) from a mile a away  Cool

Yes I like mint but I like people more. What you guys have been doing is not right and you all know. Like I said there are laws against what you are doing. Don't worry I will not repeat myself again I just thought I should give you a heads up

Dear moderndesignz, i'd like for you to come to #blackcoinpool on Freenode IRC. Let's talk this through like civil people. I don't know what you think we 'are' doing, but I would like an explanation. I'll give you a platform to talk.

Moderndesignz was id'd as a confirmed troll here weeks ago. He put a lot of money in MINT and MINT has plunged in value from a high of 60 satoshis down to 13 satoshis whilst Blackcoin has gone up 400% in that same period. In all of his dozens of posts here all he does is bash Blackcoin. I'm sure you are just being the bigger person here and turning the other cheek. Here, look I collated all his posts in this topic from the last two weeks or so (surprise, surpise every single one is moderndesignz trying to spread bad vibes and FUD here):

but at times before a pump/ dump the BC community does get carried away and come here to manipulate people into selling mint and buying bc
I've seen a few people being dishonest so yes there is shadiness.
So why did he call the coin a scam?
I see our friend the market manipulator is buying and selling his own large orders again....
agreed
That's true but if the coin is being manipulated by one person or a small group of people it's important to know their long term intentions for the coin. If they are planning to sell a huge amount at some point the price will plummet

So does this have something to do with issue at cryptorush? what does it mean that the coin had a hard fork?  I'm concerned about the coins I bought and that there aren't issues with balances.


4)  wasn't there a fork recently?

If you're paying attention the volume on blackcoin is dropping with the price. The volume on mintcoin has actually been increasing
^ LOL at that one  Cheesy
Price is droping because many smaller  whales  widrow BTC from alt coin to drop them for flat feering off bitcoin price drop more ..but for me selling bitcoin this low is crazy..i would rather wait

How come that isn't happening with Mintcoin?
The clean launch?? I don't think so
Let's all be honest here the multipool doesn't really have any effect on price. It's just good old fashioned price manipulation
I'm sorry but you aren't being honest. I wouldn't trust a word you say
Ohh I see I just remember a bunch of issues with blackcoin wallet balances and figured it was all connected
Nothing needs to happen as long as PoW is chugging along -- but then it's just another PoW coin.  The PoS system it is eventually supposed to become as reward goes to 0 is deeply flawed.

I would anticipate BlackCoin to demonstrate this, and eventually leave rat4 scrambling to apply patch after patch as the system breaks in new and exciting ways.

that doesn't sound good
Look at all those even buy numbers on the exchange I sure wouldn't trust that price  haha ohh good you read my post and trying to change to make it look like a normal person

Nothing but negativity towards Blackcoin and there's more. I've not been selective either, go through his comments yourself there's not a positive word to say about Blackcoin for weeks. Mixed in with him desperately trying to pump up failing MINT. Now as MINT plummets further he is resorting to pathetic attempts to call Blackcoin projects scams and smear the name of Blackcoin. Sad, very sad.
