Topic: Announcing ZiftrCOIN Release - page 13. (Read 106687 times)

Their lofty goal was to "onboard 1 million new crypto users, " if I remember correctly.

I suppose they could defer handing out the bonus coins until they reach that goal, but I doubt it.

Besides, no one will be impressed with 100 free coins worth 1 or 2 cents.

Yeah, I suspect that the free Ziftrcoin giveaway is going to end up being conducted as part of the incentive program, where the first however many customers using the new payment gateway with participating merchants will get free Ziftrcoin. I kinda doubt it's going to be a situation where you say, "Give me free coins" and they just cough them up, like a faucet.

My best guess is that they'll fulfill this during the Bitcoin Black Friday festivities, if it is feasible. 

any update about ziftrcoin giveaway ?
im waiting for claim my free ziftrcoin 

Agreed.

I bought a handful in the pre-sale & will HODL!

I did it mostly to support the crypto movement... and b/c I thought it was a really good business model.

Some new coins are partnering with the ZiftrWALLET, which is great for new Alts.

Check out their comprehensive "ZifterVERSE."   http://blog.ziftr.com/2015/01/06/ziftrverse-overview/

It's definitely more than just a coin.

Ziftr goes way back in Internet terms....they've been doing e-commerce for 30 years.

Yeah, that's the thing...Ziftr has not over-promised, they have been very reasonable and measured in their discussion of expectations and have made a point of saying that the price of Ziftrcoin on the open market is the last thing they care about. That should be music to everyone's ears, because it means they have their priorities straight. The coin has a 4.5% premine, yes...most of which is intended to be given away to the general public, some of which is meant to reward employees for their hard work - and as far as I know, none of which has even been touched, yet. Besides, let's be serious for a minute here...Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever and wherever he is, is sitting on 5% of the lifetime supply of Bitcoin, which he mined in the first year and is still in his wallet addresses, untouched. Nobody has a clue what his intentions are for it, if he has access to it, or anything. It's just floating out there like a dark cloud over Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Ziftrcoin has a smaller percentage of the lifetime supply accounted for in its premine, the company has been very clear about its intentions for that coin and they have a vested interest in operating in an above-board fashion, as they're a money services business that will be under close scrutiny by the US Government. They aren't some shadowy, anonymous person out there sitting on a hoard that could hit the market at any time, for any reason.

In 99.9% of the cases, I distrust a premine and the developers' intentions for it...but in this case, I think the circumstances surrounding the premine and the nature of the company itself put me much more at ease with it.

Maybe on the surface, but ZiftrCOIN has:

-Never lied
-Never Hyped
-Offers a user-friendly working wallet
-Vowed to "onboard" 1 mm new crypto users
-Done the Math
-Never promised value over $1 (but it could exceed)
-Has staff that graduated high school!
....and college!
...and some, even -- Grad school!  lol....so.....

No.

Thanks for that answer you are always helpfull and infoed 

That's the best way to do it. Just hold onto it and see what comes of it.

As for the Black Friday plan they announced in their blog, I would think that the GoCoin merger has the potential to speed that along quite a bit. They don't actually have to sign up new merchants, they've got GoCoin's entire merchant network already...which is continually growing. It'll take time to integrate Ziftr's tech, but it'd definitely be the ideal situation to get people introduced to the Ziftrcoin concept via Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales...as well as get people using the Ziftr multi-currency wallet.

I haven't read anything about international but I know GoCoin does business internationally...so I suspect the only thing they wouldn't be able to do is the credit card processing outside of the US, but I don't know that for a fact.

It seems like the Ziftr guys spend a little more time looking at the posts on Reddit than they do this thread, so if you've got questions for Ziftr staff I would post something on there, it's probably going to get seen sooner.

almost forgot about this coin...still have some in my wallet.

how you think, will  time ziftrt to have announced weight in 1$, and take place as e-money or he will be an addenda to soft moneys?

@FreeJack2k,
I really hope it works out that way. If I understand correctly, Black Friday is *the* most significant retail event in any given year. Would be a shame if Ziftr did not seize such a massive chance for spreading the word and reaching critical mass awareness.
I have to imagine that they are making all possible efforts to meet the opportunity, but it would be great if we had any sort of "official" updates by their team in the meantime.

Before I clicked on "post", I took a quick read through the Ziftr blog, as I recall having read some mention about Black Friday when I was first getting familiar with Ziftrcoin. This is the relevant blog entry:
http://blog.ziftr.com/2015/03/12/your-ziftrcoin-questions-answered-coin-giveaway-1-minimum-redemption-value/

Unrelated: I'm still waiting on some feedback to a question I had posted long ago, don't think I ever got an answer:
Is Ziftr working on reaching EU markets and merchants early on, or will this be pushed at some latter stage, or never? I'm hopeful that I'll get to use my ZRCs in purchases, rather than just playing the exchange markets, but I'm wondering if (at least initially), the adoption efforts are only focused on the US.

Cheers!

GoCoin is on a tear right now with crypto payments processing, so I expect they'll be gearing up to really take advantage on Black Friday. That would be the ideal time to introduce the Ziftrcoin concept and also, GoCoin will have Ziftr's credit card payment processing ability as well...which makes them a complete payments service. It's in their best interests to be ready for Black Friday, even if they haven't announced anything.

I may not be aware but do you know for sure that on black friday it will be used?

Depending on your power costs this coin is profitable, especially if you can hold it for a month or two before selling it.

They are targeting Black Friday to really start promoting, so I'd expect the price to start rising the closer we get to BF

is this or any other coin minable on a gpu ? I mean profitable

Their original plan was to give away $100 worth (at the $1 redemption value, I imagine...or 100 ZRC) to each person, up until the amount they had dedicated to it was used up. It's part of creating an incentive for people to actually use it. At today's prices, 100 ZRC is worth all of $2 on the exchanges, so that will prevent exchange dumping of the giveaway coins. People will see the value in holding onto it and using it as the "coupon" in their Ziftrpay/GoCoin purchases. People will also start to realize that paying $.02/ZRC and redeeming it at $1/ZRC makes pretty good financial sense, too...so I expect demand on the exchanges will rise, once it's in use. Everything depends on the GoCoin/Ziftrpay deal working well and a lot of merchants incorporating the loyalty/coupon concept. Gonna take time, though.

ZiftrCOIN giveaway, as far as I know, will be happening through merchants after the ziftrCOIN & GoCoin technology has been integrated.

I'm mining on AMD, so I can't tell you much more.
