i think you're hurting the coin with the giveaways... the price is way too low for this coin on the exchanges... i don't believe miners think that is a fair price for the time and effort they put in getting these rather hard to get coins
True, we understand your point. It's important that we keep piCoin profitable to mine while also spreading it around and rewarding people who contribute.

The price only goes down if people who are rewarded coins sell. Slowing down a little is something we will consider to avoid hurting the price.

picoinproject.  KGW or your implentation of it is seriously screwing with the coin. It took the whole network nearly 1 1/2 hours to crack Block 907.. The massive jumps from 500+ to less than 20 in just a couple of rounds makes it impossible to mine this coin with any confidence.  It's just too hard to work out if you are doing well or wasting electricity.

We're well aware that things are a little erratic. However, not everyone on our team is in agreement about what exactly the issue is or even if there is an issue. As such, we have reached out to a couple reputable coin developers to provide some oversight and work on an update to make things a little more consistent.

Hi, I did the translation in Spanish. You offered a reward for that work. My piCoin address is below.

I'd like to add a comment: I'm a mathematician, but I'm actually working as a software engineer. I'm in touch with a community of math teachers who have founded a Museum of Maths. I've talked to them unofficially about the currency and they are thinking of promoting in some way. That's just informal talks but if it ends up working, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

We're very happy to hear about the promotion you are doing. This is exactly the sort of thing we're looking for! Enjoy 20,000 extra piCoins as a thank you for simply reaching out to industry connections. Please keep us updated and let us know if you would like us to get involved.

120,000 piCoins have been sent.
We might "accidentally" send you some coins. Smiley

Thank you very much, I'll keep you informed!

FUCK SUMPOOL THEY CLOSED DOWN THE POOL AND RAN AWAY WITH MY COINS!!!!

Quick Announcement and Explanation:

The reason behind the lack of a clear decision either way is due to a disagreement among the team about whether or not there are any bugs in the code like some users believe. We have been working nonstop on building out this coin (from a marketing perspective) since launch, despite the disagreements. The team is still divided so we are reaching out to an experienced developer to either confirm or deny these suspicions, so if there are in fact bugs they will be fixed. We can't wait to move past this issue and focus on growth instead of source code.

Meanwhile, a lot of very positive things are happening in the piCoin community. NXT-e is now running a promotion giving away 2,000,000 piCoins to users who deposit BTC and/or NXT. Here are links to the PI/BTC market and the PI/NXT market.

We're also planning a very cool (and delicious) giveaway once we're past this debacle (hint: it involves pie).

As for sumpool, we aren't going to rush to any conclusions. We have put a warning in the original post until the outstanding issues are resolved. We're hopeful that it is just a temporary technical issue and everyone will receive their coins.

Okay, I think we've given them long enough to at least respond. Their bounty has been forfeited and will be given to someone else or added to an upcoming giveaway.



Yes, we have. Let me clear things up for you.

    • Our Chinese marketing consultant is an experienced Internet marketer who will be promoting piCoin in the Chinese market.
    • Our European marketing consultant is an SEO guy who is optimizing our webpages and sites for search engines
    • Our Korean marketing consultant is a business connection. He will be promoting piCoin in person once we reach that point.
    • Our US marketing consultant is myself, the founder. I'm an entrepreneur and marketer. Maybe I should have made that clearer.
    • Our Indian marketing consultant is handling the actual process of giving out the coins for the giveaways.
    [/list]

    Is there a better word than "marketing consultant" to describe all five of those people (the main post in limited in the fact that we have to keep people interested and not bore them to death by listing nonvital details)? Not that I (yes, sometimes it's appropriate to use 'I' and sometimes it's appropriate to use 'we', depending on the situation) know of.


    linkedin profiles or that is another claim full of.....

    Really?

    I am semi-anonymous (I've shared various pieces of information through PM and I'm browsing using my own IP, so I'm sure if people really wanted to find out who I am they could) right now. I would like it to stay that way for now, for a few reasons.

    The first reason (and my biggest concern) is for my own personal privacy and the privacy of those I hired. I am not interested in having people know exactly where I live, where I go out to eat, the name of my dentist, the breed of my dog, and my mother's birthday. One of the great benefits of cryptocurrencies is that they protect your privacy when necessary. I'm not going to throw my privacy in the trash because someone wants me to prove that I hired several people to assist in the growth of piCoin.

    The second reason (this isn't really an important reason or all that big an issue, but it's worth noting) is that along with all the praise there is always some criticism. It's a lot easier to deal with people attacking something you've created, rather than you personally.

    There's a reason the Flappy Bird creator took down his game, even though he was making $50k/day. It can get pretty brutal, even if most comments are positive.

    For good measure...



    Lastly, we would like to avoid piCoin having a face. Historically that generally hurts coins instead of helping them.

    Now that I've explained why I will not be sharing Linkedin profiles of everyone I'm working with (not that everyone even has a LinkedIn profile - it's not fully global), let me elucidate why it should be very feasible that I am telling the truth.

    • There is very little incentive to lie about something like this. So I hired several smart people to help with this coin...ok? If the number of people the founder hired in the development of a coin is your primary factor for deciding whether or not to invest in a coin, you're misguided. I don't think you actually think it makes all that much of a difference, though - I see it as much more likely that you're just looking for something to pick at.
    • Hiring several people for various jobs when launching a coin is not all that unusual. Heck, other people were hired for other jobs with this coin that I haven't even mentioned - for example, we hired a graphic designer for the logo. It's not like I'm saying "10 full-time employees were hired to work out of our New York City office." Everything I've said is very realistic and not all that abnormal for a coin with a good team.
    • piCoin will be promoted offline in the US, Asia, and Europe when the time is right by our marketing consultants and myself (edit: as well as community members like the TheRealSorcerer who are interested in getting involved). We might even hire other people for these tasks, too. We're talking a few months down the road here though, once it has become an established cryptocurrency. Can it conclusively be proven that this is in our growth model? No. You will just have to take our word that the community and ourselves is focused on making piCoin a huge success.

    Hi picoin. Can i have my bounty for russian translation
    Thank you

    We're sending out bounties over the next day or two in general. We just sent you 100,000 piCoins, but would you mind changing the title? It still reads as pre-ann.

    Well my day 1 launch tally is now 7214.7511429 piCoins, that's mining on a single card, less 628 piCoins that it cost to get two transactions out of hashing.at. I liked piCoin on fb and twitter for the giveaway, if those coins come through to my wallet, I might be back to mine piCoin again, Good luck to all  Smiley

    We have already begun dispersing giveaway coins. You should get them soon, probably later today or tomorrow (depending on where you live).


    Pro tip: Put your piCoin address and a link to this thread in your signature, then participate in the discussion and help out people who are having problems (a good example is nemesisshaw helping ThePatient with his wallet). We might "accidentally" send you some coins. Smiley

    You're right though, the premined coins will all be going towards the promotion and growth of piCoin - we've already committed over 5% to people (from our giveaways, bounties, and promotion) and it's still launch day. We plan on giving away 25% in the first month or so through giveaways, bounties, and custom projects/bounties. We premined a very reasonable percentage and all of it is going back into the coin.



    Acknowledged. I got 314k reward for my work. The developer is very creative person. Thanks a lot!

    yeah just got it, thanks.

    But now i just opened the wallet and it is obviously out of sync. With most coin wallet, tho, I see something in the bottom right hand saying its syncying. I don't see that here. It only says 0 active connections to the Pi network. Is it ok to send coins to the wallet right now or no?

      Sometimes I do think the pool ops care more about a coin then the devs.

      Dev has 230 MILLION coins, think he gives a shit really? He'll pump&dump it in no time. His giveaways are a big smokescreen, as always with gigantic premines.

      +1

      Also, too many coins (Billions). 1 coin equals (at most) 0.00000001 BTC per coin now. And that is at the very most. The Dev will have a rebuttal like "but there trading at .00000200". Those exchanges look real shady...



      You guys are both RETARDED.

      DEV used those pre-mined coins in giveaways...

      Also, the number you came up with... 230,000,000... you're full of shit.

      The 230,000,000 is about right actually, right now. That's 0.75% of the 31,415,926,535 total coins that will be released.

      You're right though, the premined coins will all be going towards the promotion and growth of piCoin - we've already committed over 5% to people (from our giveaways, bounties, and promotion) and it's still launch day. We plan on giving away 25% in the first month or so through giveaways, bounties, and custom projects/bounties. We premined a very reasonable percentage and all of it is going back into the coin.
      You're full of shit. It's always the same scam pattern and people fall for it.
      Btw I just saw this: "We've hired paid marketing consultants from all over the world (specifically in the US, Europe, China, Korea, and India) in order to assist in the globalization of piCoin."
      Comedy gold right here... Now prove it. And prove you're more than one on this shitcoin.
      People falling for this shit are fucking retarded.

      Yes, we have. Let me clear things up for you.

      • Our Chinese marketing consultant is an experienced Internet marketer who will be promoting piCoin in the Chinese market.
      • Our European marketing consultant is an SEO guy who is optimizing our webpages and sites for search engines
