Quote from: David Zimbeck
Calm down. First of all, its a different coin. BlackHalo is software I have worked almost a year on and crossed the planet to complete. This is a job that I'm being contracted for. BlackHalo will be the first decentralized markets in the world.I work literally all day on this software.

The people from Bay are buying a license to it.

They want to make mesh networks and iOT. Its NOT THE SAME. Completely different project. They are highly connected and are striking a deal to make it a hedging coin.People don't complain about it being part of BitHalo which I did for free. Everything so far I did was for free, in fact, I'm paying devs in Cambodia out of my own pocket. Last 2 conferences Sean went to, I paid for out of pocket to promote Blackcoin.

Let me explain that this deal can be HIGHLY beneficial to Blackcoin. The people running it can pay full time devs. We can literally have an office of 100 devs. It really depends on your attitude towards it. I dont run their coin exclusively, Personally, I dont like ICO. However, these are some of the most connected people in Crypto. This project will benefit Blackcoin for the following reasons.

We will get funding

We will be connected to some major Chinese exchanges and have a good chance at becoming a hedging coin (you should check NuBits to understand what that is...) this part can bring BC to a dollar. Both coins can get pegged to a dollar eventually using some really advance hedging techniques.

Also Blackcoin is getting two exchanges (NightTrader & NT multisig) and it will have a permanent multipool hard coded into it. So it will be the BlackHole that it was originally intended to be.

What can we do to help Blackcoin? Donate to devfund? Buy BitBay coins?

BC FTW

We have just created a Blackcoin Steam Gaming group! We plan on giving away Blackcoin and games in the near future. Also, we will announce all important announcements and releases regarding Blackcoin through there as an official outlet. That way you won't miss any important updates!

Some people think bc won't rise because the whales like IconicExpert  leave away.



Such a Chinese attitude regarding Zhuan.

If whales dump their coins we get a better coin distribution. We don't need 100 whales, we need 100 Million users Smiley.

Why such bad feelings about blackcoin? I haven't heard anything bad. Why should it die? It's the only word i hear in every thread every day and it sucks.

I don't think there are (many) bad feelings regarding BC in particular.
The whole crypto world is going downwards right now, first the altcoin slaughtering where people took their profits to BTC/FIAT and now BTC following the same route. Since BTC is still the crypto flagship there is less faith in all coins when people see the "big one" strugglin heavy as well.

It may still be yet another P&D cycle for BTC and we will probably see a trend change. People tend to extremely short memory and extremely high levels of despair if a coin does not only rise.

I am still holding all my BC and never sold any, and so did most of us. Don't let the few muppets who keep (day-)trading at joke prices fool you.

+1. same here : holding since week 2 and won't let go until... Wink

Blackcoin is an established coin. It will not die that easily, it isn't certain that it eventually reaches much bigger adoption. It is still striving for that, but people should try to understand it is easy to get somewhat established the push beyond that is much much harder. Use the coin for purchases or trading and wait for the bigger developments like BlackBox, Nighttrader and Blackwave Labs. These projects can't be rushed and they can't magically appear in a few weeks or months.
instead it will die like litecoin and other 1st generation coins.

Yep, I would expect it to die like BTC and LTC are currently.  But the bet is always (just like with any crypto or stock for that matter) that there is that slim chance that broad adoption actually occurs... in which case the losses in the 'losing bets' will be easily absorbed by the profits of the 'winning bets'.

Who knows for sure what will happen.  It's been a little over two years since I heard people telling me I was a complete moron for not dumping all of my BTC when it hit $15 briefly and then fell back to around $6... because "it's never going back to that price again..."  Maybe BC will never again see over 10K sats... and maybe it will never again see under 10K sats... if you know for sure which is the case - then you need to just play the lottery and quit messing with these small potatoes.

I thought I had read something somewhere about blackwave labs making an announcement, could be mistaken.

Welcome back, glad to hear the trip was productive!

BlackWave labs is working on BC centric exchange which we all hope will killer platform for trading BlackCoin

 Excoin is a secure and sophisticated real-time trading platform for innovative cryptocurrencies

Since some people don't check reddit, figure this could be worth posting here as well.  Speculation on GAW miners:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2l7myv/can_we_talk_about_gaw/

Several people on blkfeed were talking about their hashlet purchases (even investing all their dividends into more hashlet purchases) and the foundation itself apparently has some invested, so these issues may be worth considering.  Hopefully not too much foundation money has been placed into this single [potential] point of failure.

Last month my wife launched a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders to fight Ebola named A Day Without Touch (website | subreddit at /r/adaywithouttouch).

In addition to taking donations via PayPal, the campaign started taking donations of Bitcoin and Dogecoin, and it ended up getting some good press, including CryptoCoinNews, CoinSetter and the Wall Street Journal's BitBlog.

So, the campaign has decided to run a charity challenge to see which cryptocurrency can raise the most for Doctors Without Borders over three weeks, from Nov. 12 - Dec. 2. It will be issuing two awards: one for Most Money Raised, and one for Most Giving Coin (based on total value as a percentage of the coin's market cap).

Right now the challenge will include Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. We are considering also including Peercoin and Blackcoin. Five is the max number of coins we feel comfortable including.

We think it will get good press for the fundraiser and for the coins that participate.

Is this something the Blackcoin community is interested in doing? If it sounds like there is enough interest we will include the coin. However, we will be posting numbers, so if the total donation is $5 or something that might not be the kind of press Blackcoin wants.
What do you think?

Plus, any ideas how to best spread the word would be appreciated.

Please reply on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/comments/2l7tio/interest_in_blackcoin_participating_in_a_charity/

Maybe we can involve the blackcoinpool and create a donation account which people can use in their mining configuration to mine BC for the challenge.
