Yes, you are understood. There are also reasons against it.

You are welcome to promote other coins, or make your own, or whatever. There probably isn't much happening with SMC for another month or so.

On the positive side of things, some of those people might invest into smartcoin smc.


The change of the ticker is only at the exchanges for the display to the public when they are scrolling down in the list, but smartcoin can remain SMART(smc), so the currency acronym is still smc, but the display at the exchange is smart(smc).

I do not know why this is causing such a fuss. Nothing changes for smartcoin at all, but just the display to the public is changed at the exchanges to read 'SMART' in the list, but on the trading page it would say SMART(smc) with smc in brackets.

No changes to the code at all.

there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding about this.


The display of SMART to the public will likely result in more sales of coins for smartcoin, is what I think, and smartcoin might be missing out on some big money at times because of it.

cryptsy will only make the changes for the developer of smartcoin, so no point in anyone else trying to get them to change that.
Therefore psionin has to do that. (it doesn't effect the smc currency acronym of smartcoin, to display SMART at the exchanges in the list that we all scroll through to find smartcoin, and there is no change at all to the code, but I believe smartcoin is missing out on possibly large amounts of money because of smc showing instead of smart. it is really a trivial matter for cryptsy to change smc to smart, no big deal, but it is a big deal to us if/when we are missing out on big investments because of that 'trivial' thing)


maybe some people are getting mixed up about two different things?

1- smartcoin currency acronym is smc but also might be 'smart'
2- smartcoin ticker acronym at exchanges does not need to be 'smc' but can easily be changed to 'smart' instead

Do you understand what I am saying? And 'smart' is a better display than smc at exchanges

Please support me in effort asking bitcointalk moderators/owners to please remove/delete old useless threads that are causing seo problems for smartcoin, and also do not reflect current smartcoin, as such are spreading misleading information about smartcoin at this time
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-couple-of-old-threads-need-to-be-removeddeleted-to-make-better-seo-thank-you-1076836


Smartcoin was released at close to the busiest time ever in crypto history, and there was alot of people who were making backlinks to the new coins at the time, and that made the original smartcoin thread have alot of backlinks.

This became a big problem when the original dev departed and that thread was closed, and a new thread made, but the second thread also got closed, and now both those threads have these ugly big links in them telling people that the thread has been moved.

We need to get rid of those two threads, that is the only way I can think of, to clean this mess up.
This is negatively effecting the first impression people get of smartcoin, and we need to try and make a better first impression.

It is almost certain that smartcoin is missing out on significant investment dollars because of those misleading old threads, which do not reflect the current smartcoin.

Smartcoin is a changing, so we need to get rid of that old baggage that is holding smartcoin down.

Good day

Thank you psionin, for updating the op thread for smartcoin here at bitcointalk!

I put the 'Smartcoin Trades At Cryptsy' gif animation at the replica thread for smartcoin at smartcoin.boards.net for interests sake have a look and see what you think of that
http://smartcoin.boards.net/thread/143/ann-smc-smartcoin-cryptsy-dgw3

(I can modify the gif, or make a new gif, if psionin decides he wants to have a gif in the op here at bitcointalk for smartcoin)



There will be problems in the future for smartcoin, I think, with the SMC ticker, because someone is likely going to try and take the SMART ticker, and all of the advertising that smartcoin/smc has done will then be feeding the SMART ticker at exchanges.

That is one reason why I think smartcoin should change to the SMART ticker asap.

Another reason, is because when people are scrolling through the coins list, if they see the word SMART,  it might get some peoples attention(more likely than smc, not many people know what smc means).

Smart, and they stop and click the link to see what that is about, and likely smartcoin gets significant sales at the exchanges because of that.

[POLL] Which ticker symbol do you like best? SMC or SMART
http://smartcoin.boards.net/thread/60/poll-which-ticker-symbol-smart


There was two voting threads and both times, the majority voted for SMART and rejected SMC.

While some people might think this to be a trivial matter, I do not agree at all,
but rather, I think it is very important.

Smartcoin will either take the SMART ticker or lose out big time, in the long term, is what I believe.

Therefore, go along with what the community voted, or else lose out big time.

It is like an ultimatum of sorts, do it(change the ticker to SMART) or else.

ASAP smartcoin needs to have the ticker at exchanges changed to SMART.



I can start another thread for voting about this if you want? We already had at least two threads, (I think there was 3 or 4 actually) and every time, SMART won in the voting.

The smc ticker at exchanges is rejected in favor of SMART.

I will be looking for a different developer if psionin will not do this, it is very important to me and my investment in smartcoin.

Smartcoin needs to fix some issues to become a more attractive investment.

The pie in the sky smartphone crap is not impressing me at all.
Smartcoin has alot of opportunities apart from smartphones, I notice smartphone people are not trampling to buy smartcoins.
So if anyone wants to prove to me that smartphones somehow really liking smartcoin?
Then that should be reflected in a much higher price for smartcoins, and smartcoin needs smartphone apps.

Otherwise, if people are not doing that, then I am in favor of smartcoin at least paying interest in the wallet at a high rate for at least several years, to attract people to become involved with smartcoin.
Or POS/POW as well.

100% interest the first year for people who keep smartcoins in their wallets, seems fair to me, it would reward people for holding smartcoins, and create interest in accumulating more smartcoins.
The interest rate might be dropped to 45% the 2nd year, and 20% the 3rd year,
and lower after that maybe, but that depends if smartcoin has created other ways to attract investments or not.

Please read the Netcoin White Paper, to find out more about what Netcoin has done to stimulate the Netcoin economy and create more interest in Netcoin
http://smartcoin.boards.net/thread/160/white-papers-netcoins-pir-owi

By the way, if you go to the above link, that is a Netcoin Forum that I created at Smartcoin.boards.net it even has a netcoin background, I think it looks neato

In the meantime, smartcoin has been in a state of emergencies for about a year now, with hardly any new investments coming into smartcoin. This is not acceptable for people like myself who have invested into smartcoins. We need to have more investment in smartcoin, simple as that.

If psionin will not do the things required to create more investment in smartcoin, then we need to find a developer who will do it for smartcoin.


We need to know what exactly is psionin willing or able to do for smartcoin, but if we want more than what psionin is going to do, then we will need to find another developer to do that I think.

This sitting around with smartcoin stagnating at low prices is getting on my nerves. I am really not interested in doing that anymore, so something must be done to stimulate the smartcoin economy and create interest so people are buying smartcoins and to make current holders of smartcoins happy too.

I think that 'dump' of 400,000 coins a couple weeks ago is evidence of someone who just got tired of waiting and waiting with smartcoin down in the pits at low prices.

*********************************

I can make a gif close to your specifications for the smartcoin op thread here at bitcointalk,
I think it needs to be livened up with some animations.
I am trying to improve my investment and everyone elses investment too.

I don't think we should give up our ticker symbol now, since we have that other "smartpaycoin" stealing everything else of ours. It's fishy. But if we change tickers and that coin takes SMC as a ticker, then...

Bitbets, your animation like Mario collecting coins is cool. Keep playing around.

The Smartcoin Traded At Cryptsy animation

I am hoping to make some animations that will be acceptable to be posted in the op of this smartcoin thread, to liven up the op message, so that people will see that smartcoin is active(the fact of the old smartcoin thread losing investments dollars for smartcoin is bothering, but we will overcome that eventually, if there are people who know how to make that thread go away, please do it)

If you want me to change an animation to make it more fitting, let me know, I can probably make small changes, but making these animation is actually alot of work and time consuming too.

Smart Cards & Project Development

Smart Cards are one of the Smartcoin projects at  http://smartcoin.boards.net/board/18/project-development

The more development that goes on in any/all projects, the more likely that any projects may attract
other people to get involved with smartcoin projects

At the same time, as projects become more developed, I expect there will be more investments into smartcoin too.

Smartcoin OP main thread bitcointalk replicated at smartcoin.boards.net

you might consider periodically checking this thread at smartcoin.boards.net it is a replica of
your op here at bitcointalk but I am trying to keep it updated more often if I can(I am busy too,
so that might not happen all the time)

OP on main thread at bitcointalk needs updating

The op for smartcoin at bitcointalk needs updating.
comkort is no longer trading smartcoins I think, cryptoine.com got hacked and is no longer trading, but might come back again.
I haven't checked if cryptoine is still having Mining stats: cryptoine.com/currency/info/SMC

but cryptotrade.exchange is a new exchange that is trading smartcoins( I had to type their url into search
and then click on the link in search engine results, to access their site, otherwise if I tried to
type their url into the address bar of the browser, then their site wouldn't rez for me.
But their exchange is a nice looking site, and works fine for trading )


There is a new place to mine smartcoins:
smc.e-pool.net:8960/static
ispace.co.uk/coindetails/?coin=smc
coinking.io/
smartcoin.miningpoolhub.com


altcoin-hosting.info is a new merchant/store owner who accepts smartcoins for payment for their hosting services.

Bitcoin Radio Show Interview with the developer of Smartcoin

Do you want to do an interview with the btc radio show?

SMART ticker at exchanges instead of SMC ticker


I had a vote at smartcoin.boards.net and people voted for SMART instead of SMC ticker at exchanges for smartcoin.

I also had a vote here at bitcointalk, and people again chose SMART instead of SMC.


I believe Smartcoin is missing out on large investments dollars, because of being hindered by having the wrong ticker symbol at the exchanges where smartcoin is bought or traded.


Cryptsy will only listen to the developer of smartcoin, so psionin would have to ask cryptsy to make the
ticker SMART instead of smc.

SMART(smc)

smc could still be written in brackets beside SMART on the trading page, but SMART is what people see in the scroll down list of coins.

This change has no effect at all on the code for smartcoin, and there is no need at all to change the code,
at least no immediate need.


psionin? please do what the community wants in this matter, and change the exchange ticker to SMART instead of the rejected smc ticker. It is important.

I am also confronted with the smc thing every time I write about smartcoin, or when I make a picture about smartcoin.

I believe that it must be SMART instead of SMC


**********************

Finally, I believe that smartcoin is doing ok with a part time developer,

but at the same time, I believe smartcoin is missing out on large investment dollars because of only having a part time developer.

Smartcoin needs to change these issues to attract larger investments dollars.


In the meantime, if changes are not occurring, then smartcoin will remain a speculative buy, and likely lower priced. I cannot see how the price might go up much, unless smartcoin has a full time developer who communicates regularly, and is willing/able to invest their own time and money to further smartcoin goals.

But I remain optimistic that changes will come, and that is one of the goals of my works, is to try and find the people who will make smartcoin grow, if the current people involved are not doing that.
And greater things will be accomplished by other people.

Thank you again, psionin for your work you do for smartcoin

Hello, I'm still busy with other work, however, I expect to be able to focus on SmartCoin during this summer.

It's probably not worth it to make a change to PoS just for the interest and staking, but there could be other functionality related to PoW/PoS that improves usability on the mobile platform. Mobile integration is important, and would be one of the main priorities to consider.

So are you making debit cards for use with SmartCoin, or what?

HI psionin! long time since we seen you post.
I had arranged an interview at a bitcoin radio show for the dev of smartcoin, just have to work out a time for the dev and the radio show. To discuss what the devevopers plans are with smartcoin.

I was wondering about making smartcoin pos/pow that pays interest in the wallet? What do you think of that psionin? There was some concerns about the pos blockchain not loadable for smartphones.
Are smartphones that important to smartcoin? On the other hand, I thought if smartcoin became pos/pow with interest, that might get people interested, especially if it pays good interest for 1st year or more.( netcoin is an example, have you considered the netcoin model?)

Anyways
I created another animation

Smartcoin Trades At Cryptsy





I hope smartcoin people like this one, and I hope cryptsy likes it too

That is the very definition of SMART!

DACMC: Distributed Autonomous Corporations Management Community

Wtf is this coin? Too similar.....

I wouldn't even have bothered mentioning it, had I not read:

“2.2   SmartCoin

SmartCoin is the cryptocurrency of DACRS,”

However, I'm glad you are confident that there's no confusion.


Cheers

Graham

No, and it looks like they have "SmartPayCoin" in the ANN title.

Is this the “Smartcoin” mentioned in the DACRS description?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10917731


Cheers

The logo is the lightbulb, and S ... with a circle.

But you might be on to something with the "Thought Bubble" +logo
say a "concept theme"?

I see lots of fun adverts that can be created around this "concept theme";
maybe tagline "Got an idea?"  

"concept theme #1" ...  the "Thought Bubble"

"concept theme #2" ... Mr. Smarty pants, why not  Lot's of 'comical' situations to play on

"concept theme #3" ... "Are you Smart enough?"

Smart Clouds, Smartcoin Cloud or Smartcoin in the Clouds or Comic Books

The concept of the lightbulb to indicate an idea, is from comic books.
Comic books have also used 'thought bubbles' and 'clouds'

I put that all together, to make the pictures below.

1- cloud

2- thought bubbles

3- lightbulb

It is actually fitting with the name 'smart' and therefore fitting with smartcoin

It is also fitting with the popular Cloud movement on the internet




several clouds with smartcoins in them, different colors

---

one larger cloud by itself with smartcoin coin inside it





I wonder if this might be a logo for smartcoin?

Here is another gif with a similar type concept to the other one





I don't know if this one worked out ok or not. let me know what you think

I put the other one here, because I want to compare the two, and try to make them better.

Thanks for putting the gif here. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to improve the gif? let me know, I am thinking to make some more similar gifs like that for smartcoin, but maybe better... I hope...

I Like Smartcoins Connection With Comic Strips and Comic Books
The gif animation is about the historical connection of the symbolic lightbulb being used to represent IDEA'S OR 'EUREKA' OR 'EPIPHANIES' OR 'REVELATIONS' that comic strip or comic book characters are having.
The Smartcoin logo is therefore connected with comic books and comic strips!

The little round white circles going from the word 'IDEA' in the gif, are similar to how comic strips used that to signify a thought or thoughts from a cartoon character in a comic book.
The lightbulb was especially connected with the little round white bubbles going from a characters head to the lightbulb, the lightbulb itself was usually surrounded by a puffy cloud to contain it, and there might be some little lines drawn at angles going away from the lightbulb to signify the light that was being emitted by the light bulb.

The SmartCard concept is an IDEA, so symbolizing that idea in a comic strip, we could use the lightbulb to do that, with the little white bubbles to signify a thought or thoughts.

Smartcoin can easily play on this familiarity with this symbolism, to come up with ideas and represent ideas in comic strip or comic book formats, and alot of people will kind of get the idea of what we are getting at.

Therefore, the comic strip or comic book, is actually co-important with the concept or idea of the SmartCard, and smartcoin has that flexibility to market or get ideas across to people in comic strips or comic books as such.
It is fitting with the smartcoin logo or coin, which is a lightbulb to represent smarts, and that idea comes from comic books which already created that familiarity amongst readers of comic books.

Smartcoin easily branches out to comic strips and comic books, and it is fitting with the smartcoin coin logo which is the lightbulb that has always been used to signify an idea or thoughts.
In fact, that is likely where we got the smartcoin logo from, was from that familiarity created in comic books.


Here is one of the pics I used in the gif, it is the white bubbles which signify a thought or thoughts, or an idea, epiphany, concept, or sudden realization or revelation. The white bubbles go to the lightbulb of course, as they always have in comic books to signify an idea.





I think I found people who will make the android wallet for cheaper, I just posted that link to see what people think about that.

3 BTC for the android wallet might be the fair price.  I still say wait before buying the android wallet, we need a larger market cap and some steady volume. 

I like the Smart card idea.  I would suggest it be the first 'big' community project, and it gives SMC the ability to offer a real physical product, and it is a smart concept.

3BTC for the service below. Is this something Smartcoin needs/wants?
