I thought this coin was dead?

Way far from. We get stronger every day. Price doesn't reflect work effort.

You shouldnt believe everything barabbas says. Probably best to discard most of what he says actually.

Calling all freelancers

Following on from Paladins_code's excellent suggestion ( http://nm.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/2ndqqo/freelancers_can_support_blackcoin_liquidity_by/ ), I have made a modified version of BlackCoinMap, dedicated to promoting freelancers who take BlackCoin as payment.

As Paladins_code rightly states, if a currency wishes to move beyond the pure speculation phase, it needs to be used, to be spent within a vibrant ecosystem.

Who better to show how to use BlackCoin than all of those amongst us who would be perfectly willing to trade some of our HODLING in order to get shit done by likeminded people ?

http://blackcoin-freelancers.com

With this directory resource at our disposal, we can use BlackHalo to contract between ourselves, to provide real world examples of how leading edge tech can be implemented.

As of posting, the directory contains just one entry to get the ball rolling.

Who's going to be the next to dive in ?

We are busy getting Onyx (Blackcoin Payment Gateway) ready for public beta, our system administrator is setting up the production environment. We hope to have more news regarding the progress of this project soon.

We are considering opening a development blog on blackwavelabs.com to provide updates on our progress.



Brilliant. I for one hope to have a BC-related project ready to use it soon.

+1 on the survey. As an occasional member I personally have trouble find the important updates and keep track of all the developments.

This will be fixed, there is so much going on at all times.

After some time with better perspective on allacidents i must admit that BC hold nice...
People have as allways short memory they have forgoten whole madness of BC and POS
there was many people aroud who argued that solo POS system can work for most people was
PPC POS/POW hybrid system top one.

After some time with clone coins like WC 1st bigger speculation clone then anon mix POS like Cloak XC
Blackcoin is the one which is all time development in core system and get all updates most changes are unnoticed.
But there are people arround working and code dev is working with his own speed high quality need time.

With good development even like halo was price was falling 20k-> 14k while before everyday was scam coins
mayby it was not "scams" but it were clones with many promisess pumped to 1st bigger pump and forgoten at end...
Don't get me wrong BC was manipulated like any other crypto here but at end most of those coins were abandoned.

Guys today is hard o find coin wich is older than 6months and have active team like BC while most of others clones were abandoned.
I am happy that rat4 is passionate guy he don't focus on price or p&d, he frequently update BC code
in future i want see him get rid of centralized checkpoints and make BC true decentralized crypto.

One more BlackCoin development group has been formed:

The Black Chamber Announcement @reddit

Quote
On this Black Friday we thought it appropriate to announce the formation of the The Black Chamber, a group devoted to advance the development of software and other projects related to Blackcoin. The Black Chamber represents a team from the growing BTC/BC community in Nebraska's Omaha/Lincoln area. Our team members have backgrounds in cryptocurrencies, finance and law. Our name refers to the cryptographic and cypher analysis organizations in U.S., U.K. and French history. Announcements about current projects will follow in the upcoming months. We look forward to working with the community, the Foundation and existing developers to improve and promote the world's best cryptocurrency, Blackcoin.

Hey all,

After seeing that most of you prefer Reddit over BLKFeed for your news, we still need 1 consolidated place where all the news is located.

With Reddit, the upside is that you get news relatively faster than a news source since it comes straight from us.

The downside is 10 posts later it is lost in the rest of the posts.
Same goes for a news website for digital currencies. The upside is, more exposure but you run into the same problem. 5 or 10 news story later, the news is lost.

The problem is that there is so much news coming out these days that everyone feels the need to report on basically everything which quickly dilutes larger news segments.

Before we had The Daily Blackcoin but Ralph can no longer run it as he has more important dealings in his life in the moment. The problem with having such a small community is that it takes a lot of effort, a lot of time, a lot of resources to be able to sit down and create a platform such as The Daily Blackcoin. Especially to meet today's demands.

Since BLKFeed and the guys running it will continue going on, we are planning on rebranding it to The Daily Blackcoin if Ralph is happy with that. Not only that, it will be the sole consolidated and central place for all Blackcoin news past and present. Even better, it can have a voting system which weights how important the community feels each news segment is. This way everyone knows which news and articles are very important to read when they first dive into Blackcoin.

A lot of people have trouble with seeing us different from all the other noise that is out there. They believe that we are low effort the same as 99% of the market.

Let's change that.

... Oh and happy birthday David Zimbeck.

I don't think any comparison to Stellar or Ripple is fair because according to my research they are centralized services and as everyone probably already knows: Blackcoin is decentralized.

the price reflects all mate.with the price ,the dev can do a lot .and the investors can keep dreaming.it is not necessary to argue which one is better for now.the one owns more value is basically better .agree?
Why don't you understand that you certainly won't hear any comments about the price or "price pump announcements" from rat4 (and/or the other development teams)? None of them is doing their work to satisfy short term investors or greedy daytraders who wait for a pump and dump to jump on.

Everybody knows what rat4 is working on and everybody can find out which projects around the BC protocol are under development. If you don't like that and it does not convince you, this is probably the wrong coin for you.
i did not put any bad comments on the vision and future of blackcoin.also,i admire rat 4's work and thought.and i definitely leave the throne of pure pos to black coin.can you see i am worried about bitbay will keep blackmailing in the future .it is not good for black community.and,if the item or article can not proved to be valuable or not be changed into money ,fewer and fewer will keep an eye on it .

I don't think we have to worry about other cryptocurrencies and I don't think others being successful hurts us at all. I think as our community develops, as more services become available and it becomes more a more developed economy more people will learn about it. Quality development takes time.

In other words, we focus on quality opposed to quantity. If you compare how many high marketcap coins have failed, you will see that Blackcoin is among the ones that are still in relatively high standing.

The blackcoin reddit /r/blackcoin has been updated with a new design. Night mode is now supported.

Link for night mode: http://nm.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/


good job! Really like that look, i think i will make it my default bookmark Smiley
edit: one suggestion: maybe the top bar (where the 4 links to IRC and excoin etc. are) should have a "mirror" on the right side with links to the latest wallet and the latest blockchain.torrent?

Added.
