I also would keep the name. maybe more marking efforts are needed, and, as stated by Dotcommie an anon feature would be great.

I really don't think the name should be changed.  It accurately describes the main coin feature and it is a unique name that is associated with money.  Many coins have come out with all sorts of crazy names that usually just apply to one thing, like cannabis coin, sex coin, panda coin, bee coin, etc and they don't really appeal to the mass market. (BEEcoin does serve a purpose of supporting bee preservation efforts if it can just get people behind it, but people have not been playing the long game with many coins it seems, they just want fast money.) The only one that broke most of those barriers was Doge coin.

Maaaaaaybe if the volume and price picks up now that the block reward has reduced significantly we should have that discussion, but I don't think that decision should be made when we still have a relatively small, but dedicated, community.

We just need to keep doing what we've been doing, but marketing it better.  I have been transferring my coins around since the whole mintpal fiasco and I forgot just how quick Jackpotcoin is compared to all of the other established coins out there.  Being used in online games isn't a problem, it's a benefit.  People want to gamble and play with digital currency on those sites, but the problem has been the lack of trustworthy individuals running those kinds of sites.

Well, if you want an update, here is one.

The truth is that a part of the team has left us some time ago, so updates are less frequent. We also are in a phase were most of the technical part is done already (which is the reason why that part of the team left). We keep working on the coin, but we can't add features just for telling we're adding features. The potential new features take more time to develop and are not necessarily indispensable, but bringing innovations at that time of the development adds more risks to the coin's stability than doing nothing. That's why we are taking our time, experimenting and all. So again, next version's release date is "when it's done!"

As for the marketing side, we have been comtemplating changing the name to something more mainstream. JackpotCoin was a great straightforward name, making it easy to understand one of it's killer features, but it led to a niche market (games), which was not intended at start... Would that be a good idea, now, to change the name? Is it worth it? And wouldn't that ruin the stability?  It's open to debate...

I appreciate the clarity.  I would be personally open to a name change if there was a good reason for it, but I'd suggest it should still emphasize the super block feature as it really is a unique incentive to mine as opposed to just staking. Nothing unique or game changing comes to mind for features, but anonymity is quite a huge boon to technology these days and seems to really be appreciated amongst crypto currency fans.  If it wouldn't be too difficult, I'd certainly suggest adding that, if nothing else for a meaningful version bump and generating interest in the coin.

i agree with the commie Smiley

but Poloniex had dropped JPC not that far back and new exchanges being added is far less likely now..
they only add coins early for some odd reason LOL  Roll Eyes

and guys love to bash the shit of this coin and pick it apart to push their coin IPO scam coin
and scream about profits then the guys with us leave for scam coin profits Sad

it will be funny when they bolt back in huge numbers though when JPC spikes up to 80+ again LOL

edit:
I also would not characterize my attitude on this topic as "impatient" as the guy implied earlier.
I have a the dev can do what he wants policy always.
A policy of him having the freedom to breath and do what he wants is best.

I will not be jumping down his throat if he comes and posts here.
But we have to ask if you have a question right ?

Yes. we need a Boost. With the demise of Mintpal, Trading is so so and Ask Coin...I don't believe the numbers.

I'm happy with my staking. I can only imagine how much those wallets with Millions are Staking..... Grin

We need to get listed on More Exchanges!

BTY...Thanks Dev.

Not so sure about that.  Bittrex has been good to us so far and I think trading should concentrate there to keep the volume up.  I think we'd have a lot more volume if people had not lost so much in Mintpal.  I don't know if I'll get my .5 btc back, but I was going to put that back into jpc when it came back down to 8sat and now that it is, I have no spare btc :-/

Also, the dev is great and only updates us when there are things to update us with.  He has always come through with new wallets as soon as they're needed or as soon as a bug is discovered.  I don't know what the "secret" feature is that he was referring to in 1.6, but maybe that is just taking more time to implement than expected.  If another month goes by, then yeah, maybe I'd be asking for more updates, but I don't think we need to be like other "communities" where people just constantly hound the dev about random things.

30 billion coins?

Oye, don't devs know that inflation kills any currency. 

In reality it is just 6 or 7 billion in the timespan that matters (a few years).  I think the rest is for like 25+ years of staking.  Been a while since I looked at the specifics though.

It does make people think it's more plentiful than it is though and a lot of people seem to be confused by it so something should be done to the OP to clarify.
Maybe a timeline of how many coins.

any difference that HYP that is all the rage these days ?
mega staking collusal amounts of coins with an infinite max coins setting ?

JPC is limited in supply and can be mined and was not IPO'd

@Dotcommie
i agree the OP should maybe make a point of that it's a common thing that scares people.


it find it funny people nit pick this coin hard forever then avoid talking about the scammy nature of the coins they are using LOL
such as never ending revolving door off scam coins with gimmicks..
like some guys tries like hell to bash this one but avoids the coin he is using has offered little innovation and has way worse negatives.
they have to hide and change names non stop or they look like greedy blow-hard's jumping from shit coin to shit coin.. while we're STILL here !

coin supporters vs greedy idiots damaging crypto with greed .

PS:
@Vlad i nagged BitJohn for you about Max coin bro Smiley

@everyone
Also JPC was delisted with no msg here about it at Poloniex not all that far back mods told me.

I received all JPC from mintpal today. It took about an hour after the withdrawal request was posted.
But not btc yet.

All of mine showed up earlier today as well.  Still waiting on my 0.5BTC unfortunately.


Any news on progress of 1.6 wallet, dev?  Still bug testing?
