Letter to IconicExpert. From me PERSONALLY
As we all know I have been with this community basically from day one, I have personally seen it grow and I have personally become the main spokes person for BlackCoin. I am viewed as the Community Manager for one reason: Trust & Transparancy. You came to me with your press release idea, and I said: put up or shut up, you delivered. I donated.
You came up with the BlackCoin Cards. I loved it and I helped promote it heavily on all the social media accounts and places I could. It was a big success. Over 300 sold in the first batch.
You came up with the WallStreet idea. I liked it, and I asked the people that are able to fund projects like these for their opinion. Before I could get the final answer you decided to hop off IRC and a day later you just posted it on the BTC Talk thread. It went great. I donated.
From that moment on you have never contacted us again. I was pissed when you publicly attacked Gritt for a comment that was true but misread by many. He apologised to me for it, we put out the actual statement that still counts: We support the idea, we do not sponsor it and it's not from the official BlackCoin team.
You know full well where to contact me, IRC, PM on BTCTalk and I think you even have my personal e-mail. Instead of asking me what that comment was about, you wanted to go on to publicly discredit all the work we have been doing for months.
Next you go and claim that idea's, that were from other users, were yours and successful because of you. I find it curious that you claim that VoS was your effort, and when I simply reply with definite proof it wasn't you, you can't even bring it up to make an apology.
You are the problem here in my opinion. You yourself have created this view of your persona right now. This is not 'the people from IRC' or 'the devs' bashing you. This is the community that is bashing you down. And apparently, reading your responses, you know full well that your planned 'take over' is not working. This community is so much more then this BTC Talk thread. This community is thousands of people big and they come from all sorts of channels. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and yes, a lot too from BTC Talk.
I personally am managing 40-50 people that work DAILY on making BlackCoin better. One of the reasons why we have decided to get a REAL PR firm for promoting the coin is because it has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. We will be doing something unique, and the only person bashing MY EFFORTS down is you.
We showed our faces on the BlackCast. We got over 250 concurrent viewers during the stream, and a YouTube video that has been watched over 1250 times. I've gotten countless messages that people love the cast and that they trust BlackCoin so much more.
Besides, you haven't talked about the answers we gave to your questions on the BlackCast. You seem to avoid anything that we do, i have publicly stated I like your work but i'm regretting these words with every other post you make.
The same with now (again, while I write this post up) the threats against the whole team that has worked so hard to make BlackCoin possible. It is so counter productive. Just go do your cards, go do your WallStreet event. This is not, and has never been some sort of competition/contest. You seem to want to make it one. For what reason I don't know.
Oh, and by the way, while I have been working 16 hours a day, for the last 60 days, i have donated to projects that others had. You seem to be such a rich and successful guy. Congrats. Why don't you come out and put up 2500$ for your WallStreet idea. We have an idea and come with 15000$ in hand.
We don't know if the PR firm will be an success. We don't know if Wall Street will be an success. We haven't bashed your plans, you seem to want to bash us at every chance you get.
Respect is not gained here by yelling. Respect is not gained here by the person with the biggest ego. Respect is earned by the person that delivers.

Can someone explain why BC spiked today and fell down so quickly?
Look at AC drama someome dump AC for safe BC IMO.To be clear Asia suppose to have about 150m in market but is had 3bln hidden premine and someone dumped that.
When people realized that shit probably moved to BC again while day tradares dumped on high.
I read someone earlier on twitter that it was due to the multipool but it faded away too fast
...
I like it too and in between posts I have been adapting the app to it. I can't do everything for the reasons I mentioned before...but I can do some
Twiter part news is GREAT too wee need it:) in original looks better. // But both designs look good now when i longer look at them.I like it too and in between posts I have been adapting the app to it. I can't do everything for the reasons I mentioned before...but I can do some
....
I am sure my project will spark an open source project soon.
Open source but not for open copy ?I am sure my project will spark an open source project soon.
I don't want to see WC version of it soon
...If I had made it open source their would be 10 different cards right now FLT one for sure ;=) haha - joke ...

wow the mention of IE sparks an attack. What will newcomers think when they read these posts. Will they suffer attacks for giving their 2 cents about IE... just seems so damn familiar. BC is NOT a shitcoin, let's stop acting like it and consider what type of community we want to be. I hope BC disassociates itself from IE until he apologizes.
I actually defended IE's Walk on Wallstreet on twitter thehashtag regrets

Hi all
First off to Iconic, great work bud on the BlackCoin Cards, I can already see them being a huge success for BlackCoin and for crypto's in general. I had some free time today so I used it to redesign the BlackCoin Card GUI. It's just a concept, but I think it looks quite a bit better than the current GUI. Let me know your thoughts on it.
Redesigned GUI
Original GUI
For those of you who'd like to know. I've just opened a web and logo design service here on Bitcointalk : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wulfcastles-web-logo-wallet-ui-design-service-590322 and I'm allowing people to pay in BlackCoin.
My rates are :
700 BC for a Logo
2200 BC for a Website

Wulfcastle

HI,
Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I read your PM but I was very busy and I wanted to respond in detail. The GUI is constantly being tweaked and it will continue to be tweaked weeks and months ahead. When designing a GUI you have to take your core demographic into consideration when deciding layout, font size, color, element location...etc..etc. Unfortunately the wallet software has to appeal to a diverse demographic and finding the right balance will take tweaking. There has to be a balance between beauty and functionality.
Your design is very nice but it is not a practical design for my development environment. When you design GUIs for developers you have to know the limitations of the tools being used to create the software, and you have to have a general knowledge of GUI design from a developers point of view. Also, you always have to take the end-user into consideration when designing GUIs. What appeals to a young techie will not appeal to someone in their late 50s that most likely use corrective lenses and cannot read computer font well.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

If they want to be in charge of this, I believe resumes and interviewing for the job is in order. Not just promoting themselves cause they have been here longer or have more coins, or are in IRC the most.
+1 +1 +1
Exactly my thoughts.
No, Blackcoin shouldn't be seen as a business. It's centralization, it doesn't work for crypto-currency.
It looks too much like a pyramid, and Blackcoin already has that reputation.
What any crypto-currency needs is an open-source platform which can easily be implemented in Blackcoin based applications.
The job of the dev team is to encourage integration through good communication and trustable software with integrated functions to speed up the production time of third parties.
The Blackcoin card is a good example of that, it is a good thing, even if it's version 1.0. I actually fucking love that stuff. Although i always hope on a free open-source project.
I have the feeling the common social dynamics of this community are very impatient and too fast.
This coin is 2 months old or something, what did you expect, these are freelancer, students and enthusiasts. Let it thrive in open-source until you have a huge user-basis with a lot of applications, liquidity is healthy.
talking with big letter and colors
woooooohoow
woooooohoow
But if promises blinded you, you should only blame yourself.
I am sure my project will spark an open source project soon.

For the love of Blackcoin!
I do like that
BUMP - FOR THE LOVE OF BLACKCOIN
I suspect this could be price manipulation to get cheap BC.

Anyone that does just plug one into the PC without giving a thought for security first is stupid - period.
I plan run it form 2nd PC and send some BC there : ).Anyone that does just plug one into the PC without giving a thought for security first is stupid - period.
Never trust people on internet ^^.
What
?? You do not trust me ?? I was going to name my future Son after you ...Yes i know. But these are questions worth answering. Doesn't matter if i can wipe it clean, if your gonna sell it you should be able to back that up with how it's being secured for the average person. Not tell me to just wipe it. If your not going to give any info on these questions then please just don't answer. Not looking for a flame war just want some basic answers.
Same can be said for any software/USB stick/CD et al, purchased from ebay etc.
yet you just plug them in anyway.
As always, AV AV AV. If you are hacked its usually the stupidity of the user that has allowed it in the first place.
Diligence should be the most basic concept of PC security - sadly it is stupidity.
Yeah that software doesn't hold my money... Anyone who buys software or usb's from ebay and just plugs it in is an idiot plain and simple, especially if it has to do with currency. It's funny how you bring up security of something and automatically it's "fud". Your praise someone from a new account "Oh thanks man your awesome too". Double standard. You guys bring up how bc is not being ran like a corporation. Im pretty sure a corporation would answer basic security questions for their users. You guys act like im asking rhetorical questions. wtf?
I answered you - you need AV and should know how to protect yourself.
Who is to say what is on the USB - would i trust IE and just plug it in without making sure I am protected first ? fuck no way, as I would not from anyone on any forums I got anythign from. Infact I don't buy them for that reason.
Anyone that does just plug one into the PC without giving a thought for security first is stupid - period.
Right...you should always use AV no matter what.
