We are now at the dump phase. 11k sat means 35 BTC whole worth of Soil wich is funny. It take it plase soon, probably 50k is a realistic price when dev share his future plans.
For now I prefer to buy, it is cheaper than mining, no costs. Weak hands will fill my pockets as always.
Don't bother, 7K satoshi now, to be honest I think the whole marketcap of this fork should be 0 satoshi in order to be fair. There are no development plans. Just yet another useless fork and "developers" (don't call them developers) don't even know why the hell they pushed fork button on github. Currently this crap in a big decline and miners will hop back to ethereum causing network to die. We all will forget it within a week, just like Shift and Expanse shit dead.
ETH is a technology, not a currency at all, well maybe just with in-game currency. There are full time paid developers with skills working on a project, how 2 anonymous devs are going to handle fork is questionable. Seriously, why yet another fork if there is already system working and backed by huge funds? The biggest thing they can do is periodic pulling from main repo.
You both said that are ready to buy it, can you tell me how much coins you already bought?
PS: 2 words about "community". Soil community consist of several newbie accounts that are "excited about future of this coin", such shills are excited in every thread in this shithole. And almost forgot, it also consist of several farmers waiting to sell their instamine.
well, you ARE entitled to your opinion. the present dump of what was being held WAS expected, we produced a very generous testnet bounty program, and many of those coins WILL find themselves on the market, the massive farms that hit the system in the first few hours will want to sell, thats their reason for having mined it in the first place, the same as any ETH-platform derivative thats hit the market so far..... our focus wasnt to have low volumes and the price of SOIL is less important RIGHT NOW than youd think.
but the market itself will find its feet. a decreasing supply on the market, once the "just sell it at whatever i can get" holders have expended their SOIL... coupled with further evolution of the system itself... will drive the price upwards, and slowly. but there will always be people like yourself who spread as much negativity on a project as they can. and thats also to be expected. miners WILL leave, certainly, the "get rich quick off the backs of others" farm owners... mining is a monetary proposition, and profit incentivation always drives currency among speculators and miners. their withdrawl towards other currencies will serve one purpose, which is to democratize the mining process, ensuring those who remain working the system will receive a larger share of the block. the system itself wont die out as you say, as long as a single miner continues to validate the blockchain, the system is alive and growing. thats the simplicity of the whole system.
if you care to live in the short term, thats your perogative. this ISNT a short term project by any means, and my focus isnt on today, its on six months down the road, what we need to do before then, which is a great deal of parallel development and heavy duty marketing to the market we wish to break into. i have no illusions regarding the hard work ahead, have been prepared for that from the moment i stepped onto this project.
we arent backed by huge funds and corporations pushing for specific return on investment schedules. we arent beholden to the whims of outside backers deciding which way to push the project. this has been done on our own time, and to this date, ive "spent" several hundred hours of my time on this project and have not made a single penny in wages. i dont expect a profit and wages at this point, that would be irresponsible. like i said, this isnt about the small moves made in the first week of going "live". this is about where we will be in six months.
if you believe that this project will be dead in that time, thats your right. i believe in the project, and am prepared to do the hard work necessary to move this project into relevance over the long term, and the weight of that is on my shoulders, not yours. you can choose to remain with the project, mining it, holding it, selling it, whatever. or you can choose to walk away now and read about us in the news in a year when we've bridged that gap between responsible real world implementation of the project and speculative cryptocurrency.
ive seen that you have investment into other currencies, you created your ETH-proxy platform, wallets for other coins.. and i applaud the work youve done on AEON, XMR and others... you understand teh work ahead for us, even if you dont understand the roadmap we have to follow, the direction we are working towards. something you said in another thread: " it does not matter who mining it, you just can't live with a sense that someone made good investment and now collecting fruits", and i hope, when we have brought our valuation up, when we have delivered on our promises down the road and have real-market (as opposed to alt-market) acceptance that you wont be frustrated by becoming the object of your own derision.
i dont expect you to buy into our vision, thats where we have to PROVE ourselves, but to call us "anonymous" developers, ive been very open to my identity, and while im not a hyper experienced altcoin developer, im also not tarred with the history of having produced vanity coins and failed currencies in the past either. i AM an experienced businessman, and understand that ANY worthwhile project is NOT a get-rich-NOW scheme.
i have turned unrelated projects from inception of an idea into a real-world commodity. it wasnt crypto that i built and marketed and found real world acceptance. i turned the basic idea of eco-tourism behind waterfalls and hiking in my home province into a published book on the subject, a website with 2000 unique visitors a day and an online community that counts 3500 active members. my photography of the subject is recognized as being the most comprehensive and has also become (thru 10x14 prints and the acrylic on canvas paintings i produce a half dozen of a year) a wage earning project. ive created a not-for-profit organization with a stable board of directors, some of whom are instantly recognizable personages within the environmental concerns. that project, for me, has taken 6 years to this point, and has required a level of committment you might not understand. until my boook has been published, my profit from my work had been negligible. but i believed in the project, and went from a simple idea to bring hikers to previously unknown waterfalls in my geographical location to being the authority of such, and running a foundation for the preservation of these sites that now has ownership of 500 acres of land surrounding several sites, with a real-value of about $200,000 dollars.
certainly, all we have right now is "promises" for the future of SOIL, but ive also been very clear how much work remains, and those who arent patient for that will sell now and move on to the next shiny thing. and complain about that too. generally with four-letter single-syllable words. all ANY coin has, truthfully, is promises. we aim to show with forward momentum, that we can incrementally move towards those promises. ive stated many times that we wont have SOIL where we envision in a month, or six. we've also stated that we are in this for the long haul and will be working hard to move this project towards that vision. we have been live for merely a single week at this point, and on the markets for less than 24 hours. if you want to make your prognosis, thru cursing and denegration, at this point, then thats your choice. i hope we prove you to be completely wrong.
with SOIL, we have MANY months of hard work ahead to begin implementing the next early stages of the project. you think we had no plan or idea when we began the project, but you couldnt be more wrong. we have a very detailed plan. we have stages of implementation, none of which is an instant market saturation, and NEXT-BIG-THING promise in the real world, there is no such thing as an immediate finished product that is lasting. every altcoin with a long life takes time and personal investment. we are aware of the continuing work that needs to be done. we are aware of the complexity of that work.
launching the coin, getting it onto an exchange.. these are the baby steps of a larger project, and we're going to be constantly improving and working on where we want to go. like ETH, i see SOIL as something much more than exchange fodder as a speculative currency. the "money" side of SOIL is MOSTLY immaterial, especially at this early date. what can be built UPON the blockchain, the specific target of industry that is completely unrepresented within a digital currency and globally connected virtual machine at this point, IS the point.
your statement regarding ETH needs a little more detail. yes, the developers of ETH are "paid developers" but where does that money come from? the community. how much money are they making a month? several of these developers have publicly stated yearly wages of $190,000, $180,000, $150,000. AND theyre suffering massive funding problems and have failed to deliver on their target dates for second stage implementation. they have significant equity in the project, but are taking specifically high wages for their continued work, relying on secondary and tertiary funding to continue the project. my stake in this project is the amount i received as a developers reserve. what that is worth, or BECOMES worth, is all on the back of what work i do on the project to increase the base value of the asset. im notexpecting to become a millionaire overnight, but i do look at this project as the building blocks towards a career doing something that i love, building an organization that is set up to succeed in the long term. we dont suffer from short sightedness or underconfidence. we didnt engage in an ICO, we funded this project thru our own hard work and with our own time. we shared that profit potential with the testnet contributors and allowed the market to find its own base of value, which is low right now. a slow steady increase in value, driven by a slow steady increase of implementation will create a stable economy for SOIL, which will contribute to its long lasting success.
any software project that is considered finished is one that is already dead. we are nowhere NEAR finished, we arent even on the same CONTINENT as finished. where we are right now in SOILs development is less about the financial considerations of a young currency, and more about the technology being developed and the marketing of that beyond the normal confines of the cryptocurrency world. as developers, we arent making wages commensurate to what our duties would pay if we worked for someone else. we arent making salaries AT ALL. we have a stake in our own currency, which by holding, shows a committment to the work still needed in the project. ive watched and read where so many other coins go wrong, and have planned how to circumvent those. that also includes FUDsters like you that immediately pronounce a coin dead when you arent getting what YOU want from it, which is huge profit for little work.
yes, that is the driving force behind capitalism. it ISNT the driving force behind SOIL. we have a small community presently, definitely. but widespread fame and infamy is not what drives us. a dedicated user base and transparent communication with that community, is stronger than a loose disorganized anonymous mob. that being said, i wish you the very best of luck with what other projects you are involved with presently and with what ever projects you choose to become involved with in teh future. if you have chosen not to be a member of this community, we will miss you, but we wont wither on teh vine without your input, either. hopefully, in six months, i can send you a PM and show you how wrong you were, and convince you at that time to return to SOIL and become a contributing member
