what's with the price anyway?

Yes, I think we need a complete branding overhaul. Maybe even a re-name. I think one of the main reasons we stopped gaining momentum was that Bittrex refused to add the coin, citing the brand. I think we need something more corporatey and boring.
Is there any guarantee that Bittrex would accept a new name? Frankly it was a bullshit reason to deny listing.
Things have moved on a lot and there are no guarantees. But I think Bittrex were direct with us, even if we didn't like the reason.

I would like you to consider along with the changes that you proposed, a complete re haul of the coin image, I think that we could make the coin much more professional, appealing and interesting, you know that if it pleases the eye, people will respond more to it, even exchanges..

Hodl going over a penny each this afternoon has to help the coin's image some!
I love to see that, I hope it continues.

As I, and others, have said before, we need to find and accumulate uses for this coin. Specifically we need to find merchants willing to accept it. Whether this is someone selling online guitar lessons or alpaca wool socks or trained ferrets or whatever we need to get commerce going. We need to do this before we start chasing more exchanges. Adding more exchanges (if it's even possible) is only going to encourage more mining and dumping activity that I see people complain about because it will be more convenient for the dumpers to list their coins. People do not need more ways to get this coin, they need a reason to get it and something to do with it. Otherwise we're all just standing in a circle holding our nuts....I mean, uh, ACORNS! There's a logo for you, a bunch of squirrels standing in a circle holding their acorns, cause that's where we are right now.
So, if your favorite online or brick and mortar store accepts crypto, contact them and see if they would be willing to accept HODL, even on a trial basis. If we get a good base of merchants going, THEN you can take that list to exchanges and show them that the coin is desirable. Chasing exchanges now is simply hoping for a false frenzy on a new exchange to temporarily boost the price. We don't need a pump and dump, we need this coin project to grow for real.
perhaps its time to start a bounty program for a payment gateway or a way to integrate with existing ones and add our coin to it.
I think a bounty for that would be beneficial and imho trying to integrate with an existing payment gateway would be our best option as it could allow merchants who already accept other cryptos using said gateway to seamlessly accept HOdl. In regards to finding and accumulating uses for HOdlcoin I don't really think we are in need of a bunch of fancy bells and whistles. It would be great but adding additional functionality to the code requires lots of time, bounty money, and more forks to implement which I don't think is wise to do in the near future. HOdlcoin is intended and coded to be a store of value that incentivizes you to choose it as your go-to crypto by rewarding interest for HOdling. The biggest roadblocks I see for it to be accepted as such are,
1) Liquidity: It doesn't make sense for many people to HOdl a coin and collect interest if they cannot easily turn it into spendable funds or desired goods when needed.
-This can be solved both a healthy combination of marketing to increase demand, re-branding in some way to attempt listing on larger exchanges that bring higher volume, and your suggestion of reaching out to attempt at getting merchants to accept it as payment for goods. I think the latter is the most desirable because it allows users to skip the annoying step of exchanging their acorns for a more widely acceptable form of currency, but ultimately all are useful and help achieve the same goal.
2)Ease of use: If it is not painfully easy to use the most basic functions of this coin it will be an uphill climb to gain adoption.
-This aspect already has a lot going for it imo. We have a lightning fast network, an almost perfect integrated and optimized miner in our wallet, and a great group of community members both here and in the slack channel to help newcomers get up and HOdling. That being said there is still a lot we can do. The first thing that comes to mind is a light wallet that does not require a full blockchain to be synced. On that same train of thought a mobile wallet implementation with QR code scanning capabilities would be amazing. Of course both of those require either a skilled community member to contribute their time to do some coding or bounties to hire an outside hand.
Those are my thoughts on HOdl right now and I would be surprised if i wasn't wrong about something or if I didn't miss an important detail to consider so what are your guys' thoughts on the topic? I'm sure if we can get a well articulated proposition of actions to take and put it on nutocracy for a vote we can get some exciting new work done to help move HOdl forward!

He got his nuts burned, poor little thing
He does not give up, good thing about a year ago, if we have all burnt only that is Hodel somehow we will be rewarded

is absolutely necessary to update to the latest version of the wallet. I'm still on the 3.0 version and works fine.

Hi all, I am seeing some incoming transactions whenever I create a deposit, and I am having trouble explaining to myself where these transactions come from.

Is this merely the network doing some bookkeeping to take care of non-deposit interest, or is something else happening here?

Just checked the block explorer and it's showing 172Khs for the network 
Just checked the coin value at CoinMarketCap and it has gained up a bit
I sure would like to see this coin boom up and for the life of me I cannot understand why it hasn't done much much better

Hey there, started mining some weeks ago, I very like this crypto concept and would like to support with a node but didn't find a repository or any guide on how to setup this on my linux server. Is it possible?
Hello ram86,
Welcome to Hodlcoin.
the github repo is here: https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin
The wallet for linux , which is the node software too is downloadable from repo,
here are the direct links:
https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin/releases/download/v3.0.1/hodlcoin-3.0.1-linux64.tar.gz
This works on the latest 64 bit linux OS. IF you have trouble with it let me know, you can also find me
on our slack channel https://hodlcoin.slack.com
goodluck, and happy hodling..

hi , welcome to Hodlcoin.
I hope you mean v3.0.1 , it can sometimes help to start the wallet with some known peer node ip addresses who are on v3.0.1 , you can find the list here , http://www.fuzzbawls.pw/explore/HOdlcoin/network.php
push the nodes button next to 3.0.1 and add some of those to your hodlcoin.conf file which is in same dir as your wallet.dat file. Then start your wallet again.

Could you guys stop being so vague, what exactly did Bittrex say. Pls post the quote here. Those name changes are terrible. The term Hodl is prolific. If it needs to be changed it gonna have to be a good name not just some letters crammed together. Fish
Don't have the exact quote, it was over a year ago, but the gist of it was that the theme of nuts was unprofessional, and that adding us would make them unprofessional.
My response to that is...
As far as the "brand", don't go and try to fix something that isn't broken is my opinion.
The squirrel metaphor is perfect. The name is also so well defined that as a newb I kept thinking the people saying 'hodl' on other threads were referring to this coin. That's a good thing. It's a marketing exec's dream come true.
<- How is this not perfect? It immediately tells you every single thing you need to know about the coin. If bittrex doesn't like "nutoshi" change it to "acorns" or "stores". If they still don't like it they won't ever like it so no point in bending over backwards for what has got to be a very small minority opinion if not just one person's over there.
Make the coin stable, remove confusion about which branch/tree/sapling, have some user friendly well documented tools that don't hog resources or are deprecated before they are even downloaded. Make it so that someone interested in this coin isn't required to find this very thread just to make it work. That's what the coin needs, more devs, more community, and current docs.
Yes, this coin definitely need more exposure - maybe someone can step forward and be a community leader of sort.
As I, and others, have said before, we need to find and accumulate uses for this coin. Specifically we need to find merchants willing to accept it. Whether this is someone selling online guitar lessons or alpaca wool socks or trained ferrets or whatever we need to get commerce going. We need to do this before we start chasing more exchanges.

Nope the sooner we start the better. It could take months for things to start picking up - who knows.
Currently, the interest on 1 year term hodling is slightly above 50%. We need a jump start while there is still
some interest incentive on Hodl coin.
