Ladies or men/boys extremely hard to tell around here. I Will do
My best! Spread THE word!

lol try to give the ladies a tip in GRS and see what happens
if they managed to understand a new technology like LINE they will learn what GRS means at some point.
enjoy the time in thailand!

As a layman myself, I want Some tips to spread THE word around here. Not too much into details,
I dont understand it and I am for sure that most of THE people over there (except it people) Will understand.
Phuket is great btw, -except for THE prostitution- which is worser than I expected.

Cheers,

Spread te word become a GRS believer.

We are GRS we are THE best

Typing from my sickbed, but i could not resist to react on the post.

I am a little jealous at themike he is going to thailand, its a place i still want to visit.
Have a good time over there and glad to see the community is having some active members.

I allways have had mixed feelings about merged mining coins, there is almost allways one coin from the merged ones who benefits the most.
For example btc and the merged coins I0coin, nmc, Ixcoin only btc has got a value over $75 while Namecoin is a very good and usefull coin never actually went up much, the others where allways sold for dust prices and probably will never gain any good value.
Ofcourse we never know which coin in the long run becomes a winner, in that I like to remind all that sometimes low ranked coins suddenly become favorites.
So merged mining can have many different effects.
On the other hand it could broaden the user base and spread the coin to other miners.

Lets fire up a discussion how we feel about this and what could be the pitfalls and the gains.

https://coins.co.th/en/

maybe try to meet some local bitcoiners. and maybe learn a little thai.
 

lets help themike with a bump

when groestlcoin get in touch with dmd team again and talk about merged mining?

dmd network even with 90% reward reduction seems to have more POW hashrate so we wont need merged mining

but still i think it would be beneficial to the algo itself

and because ur coin carry the name of the algo beneficial to it

if actual dev team is interested just send a PM to discuss details

and no its not only post here to promote DMD

i hold myself like 250k GRS too and im for real interested in stuff that benefit GRS

merged mining would give our miners double rewards and so increase our combined hashrate

this way secure both coins better

i expect it would be like 30% hashrate gain for DMD and 500% hashrate gain for GRS

Next Week I'm going to promoto the GRS in Thailand!!!! Everyone tips and tricks to get those little Asians interested....

Exciting times coming up

Working on it 
Expect some nice releases next month

Ideal chit-chatting. Commonly acceptance is the key: I mentioned it before to jackie: sexy, fast and easiness. Otherwise we will stay a hobby club with (computer nerds) who love the concept.

Well do i still have a large gpu farm, not really for several reasons.
First of all when i started mining on the cpu/gpu part of it was allowed to run some at the company.
After a few CEO changes one decided it was no longer allowed so alot of machines had to be turned off and where sold.
The 6 gpu rigs at home slowly was turned off for 2 reasons each of them became more powerfull with the newer cards being released.
But caused also a lot of heat. At some point did they release so much heat that the airconditioning could no longer cool them off enough to run properly.
The third and most important reason why most rigs have disappeared or am turned off is that the energy prices has steadily been rising so much that its no longer possible to keep them running. Unless the price of the coin would cover at least the energy prices or the price you can buy them at.
I am not going into details but i can not be involved directly into a business, so i can not get a bit cheaper energy prices in my country.
Small firms can have contracts around 0.04 and very large firms can have contract below 0.02 per kwh/euro.
These prices depends ofcourse also if one is using enough energy for them to give you those low prices.
For the rigs i have been looking many times at hosting them elsewhere but funny enough the hosters actually shut off their own rigs themselfs. And the prices to host them elsewhere will be as high as keeping them over here in most cases.
This far its cheaper to buy coins from those with very low energy prices which are offered at the exchanges.
Sometimes when its cool enough i let one rig run with the windows open especially when its freezing .
I do like gpu mining alot but we need more power effective gpu's to make it worthwhile.
Actually am hoping the new AMD models will be another step in that direction, but this far we seen only rumours and not yet have a clue how much energy they would use.


You have forgot your glasses on this one .
I actually spend while many others stashed almost every coin. We actually seem to agree that those who spend and use the coins make the coin more valuable.
Sometimes i regret to have spend so much of the coins i generated, and i do miss the times seeing 50 coins rolling in . But as of today i still spend any coin i own or buy in shops.
For instance in my country on www.justeat.nl where the local food chains can provide a meal for instance with bitcoin.
Would it not be awesome to see people use GRS to order a meal, or whatever at for instance a supermarket where you pay with your phone ( Hint, Hint GRS wallet ).


That is also the reason why i am looking at shops and means where i can spend the coins i buy and generate, ofcourse one person can not make a difference.
We need the whole community to become the ones feeding the question whats that groestlcoin he used to pay.
It is as fast as paying with cash .

Welcome!


Interesting. Do you still have a cpu/gpu farm?


As you said it yourself. If people would not spend alot back then, the value of btc would not rise right? Imagine everybody thinking like you (keeping bigger part for later), i don't think that bitcoin would be so popular like now.


Very true but again, i have a feeling that the bad news are dominating the good news.
To be honest, there are more bad news and scams with fiat but people are not getting scarred which is odd. Who do you think is going to pay for the fiat scams? Yes, we the tax payers. It's a matter of changing your mindset.


AFAIK this can be only achieved by regulating Groestlcoin.


+10000 This is so true!
The best way to give grs more value is: Purchase something with grs and then buy the same ammount back (from exchange).

A while ago i got in contact with Jackielove4u about a discussion on the forum, and we kept in contact since that day.
He asked me some questions about cryptocoins and mentioned GRS, so at one point he asked me if i would be willing to help.
At first i just provided some ideas and mentioned some ideas what could be improved.
By that i got also interrested into the Groestlcoin itself and kinda discovered its one of the coins with the best development as far as i can see.
Ofcourse that does not make a coin succesfull on itself as most of us know, but it can be very important if the community succeeds in getting more people to use the coin.
After some discussions on for instance email, personal messages and on the slack chat, i got the question if i would be willing to help the community on bitcointalk and at some point accepted to get involved. Ofcourse my busy schedule does not allways allow me to make time to be daily active.
But i often am able to slip into the my vpn to my house and watch what is shown at the forums or chat .
Anyway long story short i have been asked to be the voice on bitcointalk and i accepted this job as the community manager.
I am sure we as a community should be able to get the Groestlcoin back in the spotlights where it deserves to be.
 
So Lets introduce myself :

I am a guy living with my lady near Zwolle in the netherlands,

Started many years ago as a alpha tester at the seti program and donated many thousands of hours cpu time and later also huge loads of gpu power.

We made it as a team ( Team Elteor Borislavj ) which consisted only out of 7 persons to become even nr 5 at the world top list.
This was a massive achievement because we surpassed huge groups of people with often hundreds or even thousands on members.

At some point UD research started a project to use cpu power to find medicine for certain illness and we would get paid a small amount when they succeed.
The project became a huge succes but the greed of the ones running the project, kept the billions of dollars they made for themselfs.

After i jumped back on several BOINC projects i kinda lost interrest in helping those projects, a friend in germany said have a look at what i am doing.
You probably guessed it Bitcoin so i fired up the good old cpu/gpu farm and farmed alot of coins, now back then they had kinda not much value.

At some point some people offered services for fun like buying pizza, hamburger, art, socks and  all that kinda funny stuff like t-shirts and coffee mugs.
So i spend alot on those and i admit i should have kept a bigger part for later , but you can not change history.
Even a mistake with sending 5000 btc as fee was not gonna hurt anyone because they had no real value.

A few years later i wanted to shoot myself in the foot for spending these coins i did back then, and mess with the coins so easily
Anyway i ended up in the world of crypto and am one person who is known to show the footangles and potential problems.

I have several times warned for instance bitcointalk.org that they might get hacked, they laughed me off but less than a year later boooom hacked.

I worked as a network engineer for years and loved to build and install server systems.
At one point in time my head of department disappeared suddenly and the CEO asked me as a senior to take control.
So i became in time the reserve IT manager
I must admit i tried to ditch the job constant and kept trying to move someone else into taking over the job, but many who got hired todo the job got fired or could not really handle the department well.
So i was put back in charge several times, at some point i decided to stay at the job and still am.

Currently the crypto community is struggling to keep things going and the endless stream of new coins and bad news about the community will be a hard thing to get rid of in the near future. As you have noticed the crypto world is dominated mostly by very technical people.

And that is one of the largest footangles in the crypto industry, for us it all looks easy and handy but believe me its scary as hell for non tech people.
Even my wife does not go near any of it, or any of our friends. As a gamer i also know a large portion of people and even these never go near crypto coins.

So i am kinda trying to find ways to get those non technical people into using the crypto coins.
The most important issue is still not resolved in the crypto industry, a way to make it all easy for absolute everyone and have enough security ( NO not the coin but the failures from the person themselfs as well) see when you send of the coins they are gone no matter what.

Compare that to bank transfer if you made a mistake you can often get your money back or in case its send private you can ask the person to send it back.
Ofcourse some people will not but thats besides the point, another feature is the security that if something happens to for instance the banks the governements repay your losses up to a certain amount. Again in the crypto world its lost.

That does not mean your money is safe in all situations but often you have some kinda fail safe build in for situations
Lets be honest everyday you read about some kinda scam, disappearing company or even a crypto company who suddenly decides your money is not worth anything tommorow without even telling you upfront.

So are these people wrong not to get involved in crypto, if i am honest to myself i say "no" they are right there is much to be done.
That also brings us to alot of other questions to be answered and they are kinda constant being talked about.

So start to think about what we can do to make things easy and try to find ways to prevent some of the risks involved, which are lacking in the current crypto solutions.
Also let me remind you people by just holding large amounts of coins, you are not really helping the coin
It might give you a quick buck, but if they are just sitting in your wallet they might end up like cinnicoin ( worthless )

You gotta use them to get the community going, ofcourse its wise to keep a few at reserve.
Ofcourse i can not stop people from being greedy thats seems to be one of less good things about humanity.

Only a few seem to understand that keeping thousands of coins in a wallet without using them nothing will happen.
You gotta use them to get actions going, what are they worth if you have say 10 million coins stashed in a wallet without having any means or value.
For instance i had 30 million beecoins and guess what they are worth now, indeed nothing the coin died completely.

So people come on do use your coins, you have to make the coin a usefull product.
Not just another stashed away coin, which eventually ends in just another failed coin.

I am open for discussions with everyone involved into groestlcoin, you can contact me here or at our forum or use slack.

Lets make groestlcoin a well known and used coin !!

Please introduce yourself new community manager.....
Who are you? What is your background? Why interested in GRS!
Welcome!

Hi!

We have a new community manager for Bitcointalk since today.
We would like to welcome Bronan to the Groestlcoin family and in the same time thank themikeymen001 for all his efforts.

Best Regards,

gruve_p.

Thanks for sharing your opinion; great!

Have you tried out the html5 JSWallet already, going to test if for some time
I normally do not use online wallets, but this looks pretty well made and might be usefull even for the cautious people like me
Positive points this far easy to setup, ease of use and most important its fast.

Can someone of THE developers tell which new features are upcoming...?

Of course, XMG, the coin of the Magi.

  GRS still stable
