BCT vrs BCC
Both are technically good coins.... BTC is a Proof of Work coin and an outstanding one at that. BCC is a pure POS coin and it works pretty damn good as well. The biggest problem with BCC is that the devs all went awol... they went awol before the distribution. The new dev got it through distribution and probably got sick of all the hate mail... i.e. got discouraged...
Some in the BCC community have a mean streak and spread FUD about other coins.... like BCT, for example.
This community does not do that.... they do have their eye on the ball and on themselves. They do not spread FUD about other coins.
The biggest issue I see with BCT is there is way to much emphasis on 'trying to get on mintpal' or that sort of thing... The vote for listing sites are a waste of time.... ( IMHO ) Mintpal will take your BTC, list you and de-list you a few months later and never return the money...
I think 'vote for listing' is a damn scam.... seriously... and this community has wasted enough time with Mintpal....
Bittrex would have been FINE and they have good volume... look at ENRG ( EnergyCoin )
Europex de-listed ENRG and it is thriving on Bittrex...
Look to Atomic-Trade perhaps as well... a solid exchange with medium volume would be perfectly fine...
What needs to be done, really, is services, stuff, games, dice, poker, t-shirts, hats etc....
Also FIX the comma's on the main website! 1,000,000 not 10,00,000 good grief already....
Perhaps it is time to re-think the charity amounts as well... they are useless except as a distraction to the people who may be interested in BCT... they can accuse the devs of all sorts of bad things as long as all those coins keep sitting around....
There should be talk about 'mining' with this coin... it is a pleasure to mine... even solo right now...
This is one of the first coins who's wallet has worked perfectly from day one.... no 'MANDATORY UPDATES' and such... this is great....
I suggest a bounty for a NEW LOGO...
I think a BCT FOUNDATION would be neat... that should be separate from the DEV and be financially managed by a trusted member of the BCT community
From the charity fund the DEV should MATCH all donations to the FOUNDATION up to some amount...
Foundation Members can donate as a 'supporter', 'senior supporter', 'member' etc.... DEV matches the funds... trusted member manages the funds, people vote on action....
There are many ideas to propel the coin forward... voting on Mintpal is NOT one of them...
Good idea about the Foundation. I think having the funds for charity managed by a member with escrow worthy trust levels is a big step in gaining credibility.
Yes, the wallet works well and yes mining Keccak with low difficulty is indeed a GPU miner's dream. The dev is dedicated and level headed when dealing with criticism. There is a fairly low number of coins. Not much to complain about this coin.
The fact that many exchanges listed BCC before BCT has hurt BCT's chances at certain exchanges. I believe that Poloniex is avoiding listing this coin because they see it as a redundancy. Being persistent in drawing distinctions between the two coins may be all we can do.
Mintpal is out of reach now and is a waste of time. They stop taking voting in 5 weeks. Bittrex, would be nice but if I am not mistaken BCT was already listed and then delisted on that exchange.
When this coin was on Bittrex there could and should have been more emphasis on creating trade volume. Votes for other exchanges would have followed. So I do think it is important for the development funds to be utilized in part to create volume and provide a small level of stabilization. I am not sure Europex gets enough traffic for it to matter. With many new exchanges being created we can keep an eye out for any that have potential for supporting higher volumes of trading.
And lastly, while it is nice that many are holding, it hurts the coin if everyone does this. If holders took 10% of their coins and actively traded them while NOT dumping them, it would actually help the coin. Hoarding is not beneficial.
