Topic: Announcing ZiftrCOIN Release - page 9. (Read 106727 times)

I'll try to answer a few things.

I know the communication hasn't been great. I complain about that myself. When things are announced, we prefer it to be substantial and real, so no announcements of upcoming announcements and no announcements of things we're thinking about maybe doing. It also should be noted that bitcointalk forums aren't really a primary communication source for the company. You're much more likely to get info from the subreddit or twiiter accounts, or any of the methods listed on our websites.

What we're working on at the moment is merging the shopping checkout/payment tech so that there is one solution for customers to use with the best features of both.

The giveaway coins, to my knowledge, are in cold storage (as in paper wallets in a safe), except for a small chunk of them which are used for promotions and giveaways (for example we did a thing with crypto art where there are ziftrcoins behind the paintings). They're still going to be given away eventually. Everything is just delayed by a few months due to the merger. I've heard that merchants want to be part of/involved in the giveaway process. For hypothetical example giving them away to attendees at a movie launch/premier/opening night. So I'm assuming we'll be moving some to them in the future. I also believe we're still planning on giveaways of our own.

For the record, we've never sold (or bought aka pumped) any coins on any exchange. The 800k number that gets thrown around was total media overhype. The total sold counter was based on an average. The value of Bitcoins at the end of the sale was less than half what it was at the beginning.

You could learn a thing or two from projects like OpenBazaar, which also raised around 1 mill $ a year ago , but have been continuously communicating, receiving feedback, engaging the community, and defining a clear roadmap. to the point where they already have a great product to ship. No, we don't have to accept the mediocre communication of Ziftrcoin and their fan boys.

I don't see the hate but I do see concern. You've been around here long enough to know how many of these projects never go anywhere after an ICO. These guys pulled in over 800 grand and whatever they dumped when it traded. The OP hasn't posted here since June. Of course, people will be suspicious.
I'm still mining this coin btw.

Not at all.  Devs came here, they said they were busy & they said they would be back when they had news.

Ignore the hateful posters here....they have no patience.

As said, this lack of communication is a disrespect with those who have invested.

Man, I really want to know about it

Devs checked in here a while ago.

Unlike the hypecoins & shitcoins we're used to, ZRC refuses to pre-announce its announcements about launching stuff before it's even conceived, much less, hatched.

Yes, I was talking about YOUR SCAM, Garza Boyz, XPY Paycoin, what a joke.

ZRC is NOT moving in a hurry, so hold onto your bags & do something else for a few months....

Any sleuths here know the state of the giveaway coins?

Extremely active and engaged when they were raising almost 1 mill a year ago  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZUr00dWAAAXalz.jpg
Since then, NOTHING other than promises and corporate self aggrandizing chat.
Again, the previous group developing ZRC and the subsequent owner of the product - GoCoin, treat this community and investors with total disrespect for time and money invested in it, without even providing a clear roadmap for its future.

I agree that the frequency of their updates is not great. In fact, that was the one thing that I complained about right here, sometime back. This is not a new thing though, I don't think they ever were much active in Bitcointalk. But remember that they do have many other communication channels (conferences, reddit, twitter, facebook, press releases), all moving about, though again, slowly.

I very much doubt that interest is lost, just considering the weight of GoCoin in the overall business of merchant adoption of crypto currencies. In any case, it would be great to get some update from the Ziftrcoin/GoCoin team, where things are, what's been accomplished recently, what are the challenges ahead...

The GoCoin news is interesting but no fanfare here.

Many of these projects start off with great intentions (hype?) and wither away. Have the developers moved on, lost interest, or what?

You would think they would post here regularly to keep people interested.  They were perky when Ziftr started trading.

Always a bad sign when things go silent.

Personally, I don't give a rats ass about the current exchange rate, as it is entirely driven on speculation for the time being. Once a real use case materializes (which has been the stated plan from day 1), then I'll hope to see some meaningful demand, backed by folks actually using Ziftrcoin for purchase discounts, exclusive promotions, etc.

I'm somewhat frustrated at how long things are taking, but given the merger with GoCoin, it does seem reasonable, and ultimately, I firmly believe that the upside potential is worth the wait. What I did not count on, was that I'd amass way too much ZRC for my prospective spending (assuming using ZRC for 10% of the total purchase value). Oh well, 1st world problems...

I think as soon as GoCoin announces their intentions for the coin, along with the rebrand or whatever they plan to do with it, we may see some naturally-occurring activity on the exchanges that are available. I don't want to see this coin devolve into a pump and dump. Let's just be patient.

coin will never have value.  It dead.

Currently requires about 0.2 BTC to buy up order books on Bleutrade to about 1450 sat and barely anything to buy out safecex.
Anyone want to help on raising prices to pre cryptsy crash levels and then trying to keep them there?
If we want our coin to ever have a chance at the promised value as a community we can start here.

Cheers!

you blind? cant you see the post right above you?

News? Another week passes by and Zero, Nothing, Nada...Absolute disrespect from  the owners of this project.

(In case anyone reading this doesn't know, I'm a developer at ziftr.)

FreeJack2k, RoomBot, and myagui, thanks for your support! I don't check in here as often as I probably should, it's good to see that you all are fighting the good fight on this forum.

Ziftr has merged with GoCoin, and that's a very good thing. Half the time you hear about a new merchant accepting bitcoin in the news, it's GoCoin that got them on board. But merging our technology is going to take time. The hundreds of miners still mining ziftrCOIN understand that.
