Are there any plans to petition Vircurex or BTC-E to get CGB onto their exchanges?

Not at this time, but we leave that to the community.

I can assure you we will continue to reach out to these entities privately and most importantly work at insuring CGB's security, improvements, innovation and advertising. This will help to keep the pressure for continued adoption of CGB.

Greetings!

Some updates:

We welcome coingas.com and cryptosextoys.com to the CGB family!


We are also looking forward to picking our partnership winners at year's end, announced here first:   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3171405


Client update imminent, with checkpoint update, among other things...


Marketing update:

We decreased our Facebook budget and consequently increased our Google Adwords budget.

Google adwords saw record clicks this week, with yesterday breaking the 1000 clicks mark.



Facebook likes continues to be steady at about 100 per day and we're about to reach the 8000 mark.



Subsidy halves in less than two weeks.  I thought it'd be sooner but the rate of blocks slowed a bit since my last calculation.  

Project development continues and we're hard at work to change the paradigm of what it means to be a virtual commodity/currency.  More details to follow in the next few weeks.


Cheers!

-Merc

Hello everyone,

Apologies for not being on here more frequently.  We're just exceptionally busy with project development, among other things.  We have rearranged our marketing budget and put more emphasis on Google Adwords, and consequently decreased the Facebook budget.  We have noticed a much stronger correlation between Google Adword clicks and CB price action on Cryptsy, so we wanted to reinforce that correlation.  The marketing budget is still on pace to exceed $2000 per month.  

In case you missed it, we had some PR crossing the wires last week.  Here's the Yahoo News link.  Very exciting for the CB community!   http://finance.yahoo.com/news/rare-interest-bearing-bitcoin-alternative-091800738.html



We have captured the top ad spot for http://www.cryptonerd.co and we wish good luck to pr9me with his new cryptocoin news service.

We have renewed the top ad spot for http://cryptocoinsnews.com and they have recently remodeled much of their site.  Check it out if you haven't already!  

These services are so important for the industry as they are, and will be, the main sources of information for everyone and anyone interested in crypto currencies/commodities.  I hope many more sprout up, each with their own niche.  I definitely feel the market economics of this media space could support many players.


We have received Swedish and Turkish translations of http://CryptogenicBullion.org and we'll implementing them this week.

That's all for now.  Please don't hesitate to pm me or elambert if you have any questions or concerns or ideas.

I'm actually curious, since there's been mention of making the website prettier, if anyone is interested in the job, please submit your resume/portfolio and how much will your services cost us.  email me at [email protected]

No guarantees on a job offer, but I think it's a great thing to get the crypto community involved and to support the people who are supporting us and/or this industry.

EDIT:  If I get a lot of portfolio submissions then I'll make a separate thread and make it an official announcement.

That's cool and all.
But you should still get a web designer to redo the official site.


Would you be happier if we went with a single page download website similar to litecoin.org?   Roll Eyes


-Merc
well not necessarily.
I was thinking about something like the novacoin site.
I don't like that coin, but they do have good web design.



Fair enough.  I will definitely upgrade the site to some serious eye-candy after our project release later this month. 

Just an FYI, Balthazar knows his stuff...I wouldn't want to bet against or underestimate NVC.

The bulk of our budget is in Google Adwords.  But I appreciate the heads up.

Greetings!

Quick update, our Facebook page is about to hit 6300 likes.  And we continue to see nice clicks/impressions from our Google Adwords campaign.  Our Yahoo/Bing ad campaign is slow but progressing.  I'll give a more detailed update later this week with screen shots, etc.  Our overall monthly marketing budget now exceeds $2000.

In the meantime, I just want to explicitly say there is no congratulating going on at CB.  In fact, we feel the pressure rising to deliver and justify the price rise.  In the past week alone we have seen a few 'toy' coins sprout up and get accepted by scam exchanges (of the Chinese variety) represented by shady and avatar-only personalities.  I guess I now truly understand some of the frustration industry leaders like Coblee, SunnyKing, and Balthazar feel when seeing all these altcoins emerge out of nowhere.  Only continued marketing and development efforts will prove a coin's true worth.  Although the pressure rises, we accept the challenge.  We will not fail.

Would just like to add comment to your statement Merc. That history wasn't written in a few weeks, and there are years ahead of us to make it.

Congratu........Hmm is that Cliff Richard I hear in the background?...... Naa must be hearing things.


I would also like to give a special thanks to the CB supporters and believers!

And to Cryptsy for being an awesome exchange for the altcoin industry.

I also want to thank CoinEx, Coins-e, and PhenixEx for supporting CGB trading.  This is very important for our industry.

more miners dumping. Another 1000 CGB

Quite a few thousand being dumped, very lucky buyers, it's very hard to get that many at once. Out of the weak hands and into the strong.
This. I'm hoping that the price stays near cururent levels for the next few days, as I want to buy some more.

Same here, can we halt all trading on CGB please, I think I put a chicken in the oven on monday!

Greetings!

CB (as we like to call it) just had its PoW subsidy halved to 2.5.  And supply continues to tighten as planned.

Some announcements:

We're proud to welcome http://CryptoPCS.com to the family of services that accept CB as payment!

We're also proud to announce http://www.FiniteByDesign.com is in the process of integrating https://CoinPayments.net !

Elambert and I are in the process of developing a new service and it will be announced next week!



Advertising update:

As announced, we have launched an aggressive marketing campaign across a few web mediums, namely, Facebook, Google Adwords, and Yahoo/Bing network.  Ad costs are on target to exceed $1000 USD for the month.  Steady as she goes as the budget will continue to grow as time goes on.  This is only the beginning.  Again, no outside investors have been involved, although I have been approached by many interested parties, as I did not want to risk legal repercussions to the CB community.  Everything has been and will continue to be out of pocket (my pocket, to be exact).  And in the name of openness and, quite frankly, to cut the bullshit, here are some ad stat updates:


These ad stats are for the past week only:

Google saw a nice spike in clicks the past two days because of the pop in BTC:





Facebook likes is steady at about 120 likes a day for the past six days:




Yahoo/Bing is relatively new and so far showing lackluster stats:



There will be major blockchain development announcements in the coming weeks and months, so please stay tuned!
We continue to endeavor to spread the word of Cryptogenic Bullion and the digital currency industry as whole!  Cheers!

-Merc
