I have learned my lessons with all the scamcoins in the last couple months. I do my research now. I like what you're doing Dev, taking your time with the mining, a working wallet, no rush to hit the exchanges, all that shows promise.
The one thing that concerns me is the goldreserve itself (just an added bonus right now, honesty in the coin's handling, like you've showed, is enough for me to invest). I've read the entire thread I think, followed the talk about staking the premine - that could work, sure, but as you well said, the premine should be used for promotion and buying gold for the reserve as soon as possible.
So what will happen in the future? I propose a change, a hardfork after the coin goes PoS. besides the yearly interest already in place, you should add a "devshare" for every block, used exclusively to buy more gold for the reserve. that way we get a steady groth to the reserve, on par with the inflation. price will always have a backup!
Keep up the good work.
soupapinto, I invested in Elite and Xanon as well, so I understand your concerns!
About the "devshare" concept, great idea, thats what I wanted to do at the begining, when I was started to think about my own coin, but then a lot of scam happened and I through out that idea as I wanted to tell the devshare (10% off from all the mined blocks) at the begining, people might think I am just a stupid scammer...
Now, as GoldReserve has a steady community this idea can come up, to think about, because my donation idea might not work at all!
I am actively seeking upgrades for GoldReserve, technology and concept wise as well, so I am open to listen every comment and idea, I am a visioner I can collect, mix and come up with a better or more suitable solution if I have the inputs!
