Yeah, that is certainly a representative voting, as all the dupe accounts yesterday were real. I will not even klick your f**king link, troll.
GTFO.

one more thing to add on the marketing subject, the trolls that post here in opposition of this coin remind me of politics back in the day where politicians would dig up dirt on other people or make up scandals to detract their "believers" ... they even PAY for advertisements to that effect. Nowadays they use bots and shills. The same people will turn around and try to sell you their stupid clone coin that took them 30 minutes to create. Thank goodness that WC and AC have absolutely nothing to offer the crypto community. I will sell my BC when I actually see a coin worth getting out of bed for.

Happily, BC has a great brand i can see it going much futher than this. Certainly better than litecoin and for that matter Bitcoin. Working on my smart contracts stuff I can not tell you guys how frustrating Bitcoin is when dealing with "minimum" fees. They force you to pay a 5500 satoshi minimum!!! What the hell is that? If I have any reason to switch from Bitcoin its that reason alone. They will have to deal with large quantities of orders if they ever even dream of competing with mastercard or visa who process billions of transactions a day. So Bitcoin "devs" are really just the exact thing Bitcoin was trying to avoid which was centralization (forcing miners to collude and filter what transactions they approve or deny). If Blackcoin can circumvent "minimum" fees and bloat by pruning they would really go far beyond anyones wildest dreams. I hope the dev works on that. I would do it myself if my current project didnt have my 24 hour attention.

Its funny to hear so many people talk here and some are in support of / not in support of multipool/pr campaigns/pumps/videos/marketing etc.

Well I have only one thing to say about that: Marketing is REQUIRED to have a successful product. Its fucking REQUIRED. How do you think McDonalds or Coca Cola or even little companies like your local restaurants succeed? Its with marketing. I used to work in Los Angeles for a marketing firm doing lots of commercials and whatnot. I can say with 100% certainty that this idea to market Blackcoin is excellent. I support any initiative for this.

As for the multipool. The multipool weather connected to the devs or not was clearly a brilliant idea. There is NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that Blackcoins success as a coin in the top 10 is for any other reason than that. Other coins have fast confirmations and interesting features but it was 3 things that made Blackcoin great. Its fast proof of Stake/multipool combo, its community which helped "market" it and the malleability patch.

I think anyone who thinks otherwise should go ahead and open a few books and read about famous companies and see how they made it. If you ever hear any ceo talk, you better bet that the thing he speaks the most about is his "brand". The ceo of kellogs does not talk about weather his food is the "healthiest" or "best". No he will talk about his "brand" and what their company has done to promote it.

Luckily for Blackcoin, there IS a multipool which helps support the coin. but even there, we will need to make sure that we always reach out to miners because even that requires branding.

The KNC mining competition is exactly what is causing the price increase. People are getting excited. its things like this that propel this coin. And as a community we must never stop finding new avenues to make miners happy and bring in new people. This coin needs hype just like any product needs marketing to keep it alive. If coca cola stopped marketing I guarantee you in 10 years they will not be around. People would say... cocawhat?

I'm just popping in this sesspool again to show my love and support to IconicExpert. Keep it going bud, you own  . Same goes to the devs R4ta and Soepkip, and all people that are trying to build and support BC coin/community and bring a positive vibe into this community.

All trolls posting shit and FUD on here about any of the above might be a tad bit mad because they 'believed' (?) in the wrong coin? (on a sidenote: what happened to AC ?? I wake up and AC is gone from the exchanges- can't be bothered to look it up though) Anyway, go fuck yourself  

Peace.

someone needs to summarize this for me in 1 sentence, cause this is getting ridiculous, but is hilarious nonetheless.

why does anyone care if someone make a blackcard for profit?

why does anyone care if the core group of people who have executed the BC pool, and many other BC-related promotions have a vested interest in their own coin?

how is any of this hurt BC? why is everyone being so melodramatic (*see retarded)

from the sounds of it, BC has exploded so fast (top 10 coin on coinmarket cap for almost a month), that pretty much everyone's trying to get their hands on some, or get "in on the action" in some way shape or form. HOW IS THIS BAD?

wtf is going on here? children! enjoy the amazing thing you're all sharing together and STOP FUCKING HATING.

Good to see the majority of the community is sane: http://strawpoll.me/1627733/r

guys, is there something wrong with mintpal?? its saying that there's an SSL Error, and that something is interfering with the secure connection to it. anyone else having this problem? im not too worried bc I have no coins on Mintpal, just this is kinda scary lookin

The logic is simple: To many people, me included until much more info and details are known, the PR initiative is a waste of money devised for the sole purpose of achieving a quick land grab by a group of people ('investors") that no one knows anything about, in cahoots with the 5 members of the dev team who has sanctioned this group of investors and, apparently, appointed them to the board of a "Foundation" that no one knew before today that existed or was about to.

We all are in this for "personal profits". It seems that some are more in a hurry than others, but we all want the price to go higher, much higher, so there's nothing intrinsically wrong on that -or if is, applies to every single one of us, "core teams" especially included.

oh my god... lol !

Edit,

Just saw http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin/ broke 1300 subs. come join the fun. community is outgrowing btctalk.

+1 same here.
Just want any kind of transparancy!

http://captiongenerator.com/16193/IconicExpert-finds-out-about-the-BC-Foundation

I think that IconicExpert has been acting exactly like this video recently.

P.S. I did not make this video, it's just being passed around in IRC... people are already sharing it like crazy on twitter ROFL!

I think it is good if/when as many people as possible work for BC and promote it. I am happy that many do it, I have myself commented on IE effort that I like them and I hope they will be successful. I honestly do.

I hope that even more guys will step up and start doing their own promotions. I started doing my own things before most of the guys here even knew of BC, through @BlackCoinPromo which is not an official BC account on twitter. Check out the history if you want. I have never asked for recognition for my efforts, and I don't think anyone should. Recognition comes from working hard and honestly, without personal agendas or trying to push products you are selling.

I just don't GET the logic in attacking the core teams effort for doing its thing. Critique is welcomed and always be skeptical of intentions. Ask for clarifications etc.
Many say IRC is not a nice or modern thing to use, but if you want to talk/ask about anything from the Dev team, they always respond to you, and you can actually have a conversation there with them. Ask around, question what they do, give feedback, propose ideas, get to know each other and lets get back on track to make ONE blackcoin group.
There is no logic in dividing the group with us vs. them mentality. If you think about these last 50 pages of dirt, it all started after dev team announced a positive thing, half funded already. What is the logic behind attacking this, if its not a personal agenda for personal profits?

Thank you for the voice of reason, barabbas. It's probably a futile wish but I hope some serious responses are forthcoming from those concerned.

Totally agree. BC is the only PoS ship that isn't sinking right now. Ok Cinni.... I dunno. Could go either way. 

EVERY time Soepkip and Iconic fight:

What the heck is going on here? That is NOT -and you very well know it- what "has happened".

First of all, the "Blackcointeam" is 5 specific individuals... or so we are left to believe... until now, that a supposed "Foundation", alien to those 5 individuals but officially supported by them, has been quickly assembled within a few (or a lot, we don't know) "investors". There's quite a based concern about just who these new individuals, that have expensive initiatives all of a sudden, are and what their motives (and means : Wallets) are. Very legitimate concerns.

Second of all, that new group -even though the ubiquitous Soepkip speaks for them-, has come up with a "PR plan" that they half-pay for, that some with financial experience and a lot of common sense question in principle... at least until what the PR firm -and what $30K will get from them- is. Very legitimate concerns.

Third, as a quite outspoken critic of "Random guy" and some of his tactics, I don't perceive he has lost any support -maybe unfortunately-. He may have questionable ideas, he may be motivated by ego and greed (who isn't here?) and he is definitely in an enormous hurry to get the price of BC up, but no one, not even me, questions, that he has done at least one very positive thing for BC -if for personal profit, mainly-, which is the BlackCard AND has worked to get developments in BC be known and published.

So you have skipped quite a few pages indeed... along with a bunch of very legitimate concerns of the community as a whole, something that you give the impression of not caring about at all. Perhaps I am wrong in perceiving that impression but seems to me you are much more interested in a discredit campaign that in any immediate or long term benefit of BC. Hopefully, I would be wrong.

So just to recap what has happened:

-Blackcointeam started bc and many promotions.
-Some random guy starts his own promotions.
-Blackcointeam continues what it has done so far.
-Random guy goes awoke on bcteam because of this.
-Blackcointeam continues what it has done so far.
-Random guy loses support
-Blackcointeam continues what it has done so far.

I might have skipped some pages with the rantings of a spoiled kid, but I guess this is about it?
