My personal opinion is the transaction times on bitcoin are too slow for things like e-betting. If I see a match starting in 5 minutes, my BTC isn't going to make it in time.

As somebody who was a strong supporter of the coin a few weeks ago, I am sorry to see the price is not doing well. Even though I don't hold any MIN myself, a few friends of mine who I talked into buying some still hold coin, so I still hope for the best and would love to see it take off.

For all of you asking "why is the price tanking?" IMHO it goes back to the same question you can ask about 99% of alternate currencies...

"Why not just use bitcoin?"

I was hanging out with some people last night that at least know about crypto (thanks to me) but aren't really into it. I happened to be explaining Minerals (among some other coins) and the response I got was exact that... "Yeah I mean that's a cool idea to bet on SC2 games but why wouldn't people just use bitcoin?"

And don't think Minerals is the only coin to have this dilemma. I'm currently holding a lot of Vericoin and unfortunately I think they struggle with the same question. Yeah the Veribit application is cool, you can spend VRC where ever BTC is accepted. Again I was explaining this to a group of people last night and the same question arose... "Well why not just use BTC?"

Anyway, just my 2 statoshi... Best of luck to the Minerals dev team, supporters and everyone else involved. I'll keep watching from a far

add scrypt, this mean asic rape, yeah a real Minerals competitor lol

you have completley missed the point who cares about the premine?
the  very fact that its competiton is the point and people get scammed all
the time thats not going to stop them  where have you been?

Yeah 2% premine. Distribution will be nowhere near to Minerals. Hahaha. People will get scammed.

AND THE FIRST DIRECT COMPETITION TO THIS COIN
IS ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED

SO devs effectivley your time of being first is now in jepordy
as we all know the sheep will go with the price,
I really hope you guys know what you are doing.

I've pretty much written off my 50k i hope it works out
but now your job of getting this coin adopted by gamers
has effectivley doubled, and i'm pretty sure that others
with betting are in the works.

so don't take too long or you will be left behind.

Good luck

When this big tournament is going to go live we will need the whole community to show up in the chat talking about their bets in min to attract the thousands of viewers which will be watching!

Just imagine if the devs manage the 2 big shots they will surely attract 3000+ viewers. These viewers will then make their research on min and wonder why they didnt know about this yet!

This tournament could be a real game changer for min watch out!

I still think that betting on PC games should be expertised first, which seems to be the main motto and aim of this coin. Once the Starcraft, League of Legends, DOTA 2, these 3 main games are setup for betting. This will easily take this coin to 50k sats. Then, the anonymiser feature should be introduced. It'll surely take this coin to 1-2$ territory.
If BTT crypto users are only up for PnD then it's good, maybe we don't need them. I'm sure people will start to realise the power of this concept within a month or two. Isn't the main aim of cryptocurrency to appeal to the outside populace People outside of BTT have started to embrace this coin. And maybe after a month, who knows, the gaming community decides to start betting and then there starts a huge demand for Minerals.
BTW Minerals has already started to stabilise and the value is increasing. I think it'll reach 2.5k-3k within 3-4 days easily.

1 week in cryptoworld = 1 year in real life. Traders and investors have a 2-3 weeks max interest span. If devs dont deliver fully in that time or keep them interested then people start to move on. MIN still in "development" and have been in "development" for weeks with a test here and there. MIN is on borrowed time and needs something quick and fast to turn the ship around, because once a coin is <1k then it is difficult to recover. That is why I say a quick and dirty life line would be an anon mixer. Also, Coinier has some good emergency measures mentioned above.

The ball is in the devs hands to step things up and make some good important strategic decisions. If devs insist that the tournament is the next thing, then it must happen within this week still or by next weekend latest, with lots of hype on social media etc. Fast.

I think we are all pumped for a decent tournament that we can have a bet on.
I know I am
