Big Things Happening
With great things happening, the Blackcoin Card, the multi-pool back up and running, the addition to Coinkite, things are looking good for Blackcoin. However, we have to remember that in order to be utilized as a currency, we NEED merchant adoption. Without places to spend BC, it can only grow to a certain point before it's essentially just being traded back-and-forth.
We have plenty of great people in our community willing to help out, passionate about Blackcoin. If everyone here starts emailing merchants, chatting up store owners IRL, etc, the exposure to the merchant world is going to project BC until the position we all know it's capable of.
Let's do this BC, let's get out there and find places to spend all our hard earned Blackcoin!
Yep. It's easy too. For example, I asked the owner of these villas in Jamaica if they would accept Blackcoin and they said they would (and any other major cryptos) I'm looking forward to spending some vacation time there when BC rises in value.
They already advertised that they accepted BTC, LTC and DOGE.
http://islandvillasjamaica.comThis is kind of a chicken or egg scenario.
There are limited amount of people using Blackcoin. With around 12000 wallets containing amounts over 1 BC, there really isn't enough market to justify mass adoption, yet.
Without more places to spend it, there really is no reason to do much more then speculate. Litecoin has this issue and since its really no more interesting then bitcoin is going to be its demise.
This is why Coinkite is so powerful. Since you can use bitcoin/blackcoin/litecoin interchangeably, and since Blackcoin is the fastest by far and has almost no inflation it has the most room to grow as a currency. Blackcoin really shines once you start comparing the main features.
If you want more blackcoin adoption, getting shops to use COINKITE is the way to go. Coinkite will even pay you some of the proceeds for every shop you sign up. Since bitcoin is still numoro uno the shop can use any of the currencies without any hassle and is not committed to 1 crypto's life or death.Less risk for the company, more adoption for blackcoin and cryptos in general.
Stop emailing shops about blackcoin and start emailing shops about coinkite. They will understand the interact-like terminal and the enterprise website. They don't have to learn the wallet right away.
Absolutely. I love their web wallets as well. Does anyone know how safe web wallets are in general and CoinKite's in particular? It would seem to me that if cryptos are going to be mainstream then something like a web wallet is necessary.
