I don't know, but maybe there was time warp attack, blockchain looks little weird. Freezing, fast next blocks and so on.

My apologies but unfortunately the update will be delayed this week. We haven't enough taken in account the busy days around Christmas and New Years eve and the team is out of their routine. As soon as things are back to normal I will post it. Enjoy the last day of the year everyone!

Thanks for this little update and this is understandable Smiley

So, in short, the development for which the IPO/CKC occured , hasn't even started despite the/your marvellous roadmap flyer, please clarify what were the BTC you collected used for exactly ? The main effort and purpose of the btc you took was on the mobile target with the gps features. do you confirm there is not yet a single line of code except that darkoin desktop copy/paste ? Was the funding round supposed to fund the "three conversations" ? it is a great beginning, yet , but which should have taken place before any OP...

Hi bearbear. Thanks for your comments. The roadmap flyer is still good, your assumption that nothing is being developed is incorrect. The Bitsend team are not the only people working on Checkcoin, they are more producers that manage the project. One thing they do is hiring other professionals to develop for Checkcoin. This is not free of charge. Code is being written by several highly skilled coders. Design is a totally different aspect and as you could have read the team is working on this part as well.  

Almost forgot to mention funds for marketing that will be used after the release. Checkcoin has a long road ahead so not all is spend too quickly.    

Oh... so basically, you are now telling that the IPO round and related supposed development requires a secound round of funding to be valuable.

The Checkcoin project does not need more funding to realize the initial goals as communicated from the start. However to keep developing Checkcoin in the future and enhance the system with a lot more functionalities it would require more funds to do so. You can compare it with projects and even whole companies that build their business or services on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The same is possible for Checkcoin, as a platform to build upon and grow branches.

i'll give you a hint : A more relevant security threat : it is so easy to create several wallets/adresses on the same device. I would go to one spot, and mutliply the rewards iby the number of wallets in my virtualized android boxes. Enjoy.

I thought to have read it will only be possible to claim coins with only one phone. So to claim multiple times you would need a lot of phones and not just emulators. This issue has been discussed before. You can easily think of other possible solutions such as a timer/frequency when the faucet gives out coins.

Does that come from an hidden extra premine or did they buy their own IPO ?

There's no hidden premine. The Bitsend team has purchased them personally from the open market exactly for these kind of promotions. You are welcome to donate some coins for giveaways as well.

Regards,

ATM we have no proof of the development stage...
I have been holding since day 1 , and the price is better than anythings , price is more than stable if i compare to hundreds of others coins....
I am pretty sure that CKC is in strong hands, this explain the price and the stability.

This coin can still skyrocket and become a Top crypto currency in the next months if everything is done well.

Bitsend is in search for a skilled designer for the Checkcoin mobile wallet (iOs/Android). They have taken a lot of time for this because they only want the best, someone that fits the budget but who also can make a high standard product that is perfected in the small details. For this they are in conversation with at least 3 companies in The Netherlands, Flitsmeister as advisor, Fourdigits and Dezzign for the designing. More news about this in future updates.

The team has been giving presentations to several interested companies and institutes with the goal to receive investments in future development stages of Checkcoin. This they want because it may be possible to increase the possibilities and functionalities of Checkcoin substantially and on top of the software that is currently being developed. Such enhancements will cost a lot of extra funds and are only possible to develop with the help of investors. The release of the first CKC GPS-enabled wallet is not affected whether they succeed in this or not, the team is looking way further into the future and developments won't just stop after the first release. At least they don't want to. A creative mind could think of hundreds of applications that could be build around the Checkcoin system and Bitsend is willing to explore these opportunities.    


Oh... so basically, you are now telling that the IPO round and related supposed development requires a secound round of funding to be valuable.

In the first few months after Checkcoin was launched some concerns were raised about GPS-spoofing where a user creates a GPS signal without actually being physically on the location. Bitsend is in talks with several GPS/GPRS developers about the security of the Checkcoin network. To use Checkcoin GPS system, users will need to have a smartphone or device with Assisted_GPS. This system is verifying the real location of users using cell tower data. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS) This way it will be impossible for users to fake a location and grab the offered coins from faucets from behind their computer elsewhere. This is extremely important and for Bitsend the challenge is in finding the right people to implement the system in the app. More news about this in future updates as well.

Last but not least for now:
The guys from Bitsend will donate 50,000 of their own Checkcoins for community events and bounties. Soon community members will be able to earn CKC's either by simple tasks or by winning contests. I will make a public ledger for spendings per campaign on the CKC forum. If you have ideas for a bountycampaign or have a task that needs to be done for Checkcoin, welcome to contact me (BTCat). I will donate 10,000 CKC myself seperately for small costs that I make on the way, I might need to hire some help once awhile. Stay tuned for more updates about these bounties in the coming week.  

Does that come from an hidden extra premine or did they buy their own IPO ?

You can now vote on Checkcoin on Cryptoine. If you are logged in your vote is worth +5 each 24 hr period.
Just got added so we're on the bottom. If you like more exchanges for CKC pls help get us to the top.

https://cryptoine.com/voting

There was a reaction on Twitter we could discuss:
https://twitter.com/Checkcoincc/status/549686928787116032

q: Why do you want to be on an exchange with less than 1 btc of total volume?
a: Where would you like to see Checkcoin listed? We'll work on a priority list very soon including other type of services.
q: I do not have a better option. Still learning and really just wonder was is the point ? Why not #exco or #justcoin ? Thanks
a: New exchanges can grow but once there is a lot of volume all the coins want to get listed making it difficult to go through.

So the question is if we like Checkcoin listed on more exchanges and if yes, what exchanges should we try to target.
Most will want the exchanges with the most volume, but these often are very hard, expensive or impossible to reach. That's why we should look into exchanges that do not have too much requirements. Past year so many new exchanges have opened up, we need to find the most reliable, successfull and potential larger exchanges in early stage of their lifecycle. Well that would make our life a little easier but we also should be willing to stand a good fight if we want to reach goals.

What exchange(s) would you like Checkcoin to be listed on?

Started a Pinterest for future releases on the web. Will also make a board for the above contest (if there will be entrees  Cheesy)

http://www.pinterest.com/checkcoin/checkcoin-press/

Been looking around on the web for Checkcoin related things but we really could use more content, pictures, video's, etc. I think at least half of the bounties should go towards these kind of things.
The other half could be to reward people for finding services that are willing to support or accept Checkcoin. More about that in the 2nd bountycampaign that will be posted later.
 
Above is not set in stone, if someone else has ideas about this please share it. The available funds should be spend efficiently and rewarding community members.

I can reveal something for our first little contest. It will be to create some fan-art about Checkcoin. Total fund for this campaign 5,000 CKC.
50% will be send split evenly to all participants and the other 50% for 1st (1,500) and 2nd prize (1,000).

The official announcement and entreepage will be on the CKC forum, first the team needs to install anti-spam measures then we're good to go.
Until then you can make or think about something, but pls wait with posting it there. Do not post it here as entree, bitcointalk does not allow giveaways so if you do post it here it will be just to share/show. After the official post there will still be enough time to create or submit, at least 2 weeks.  

As for the rules there aren't so many. You should allow your creation to be used by the Checkcoin team and community for promotional use.
The goal is to have more pictures/video's/anything about Checkcoin on the web so the best is that contributions are uploaded on proper channels, through a blog, personal site, social media, youtube, etc. Try to touch the spirit of Checkcoin and it's future release combined with GPS.

The prizes may be small but see it as a token of appreciation. After all fan-art is usually made out of passion Grin.  

If you have ideas about this or another contest/bounty campaign you are welcome to share it here or send me a pm.

Remember, anything you can do to support Checkcoin will add value, the more people that can do something even if it's small, the better our coin can grow.
