Hey guys and girls!

In the Smartcoin Avatar Design Contest,
I was just looking for some new designs for avatars at bitcointalk, but got:

1- SmartCards

2- Smarty & SmartyPants mascots for Smartcoin

3- The first Smartcoin Comic Strip


I think those ideas are absolutely excellent for smartcoin, but need work going forwards to develop those ideas more Smiley


All those ideas are in the picture below, it is the banner at the Smartcoin Forum now, and also at the twitter @simplysmartcoin







New blog post at internetcoin.wordpress.com

New Smartcoin Forum Banner! smartcoin.boards.net

similar to twitter.com/simplysmartcoin twitter account banner too.


smartcoin forum banner with smartcoin coin logo, smarty, smartypants and smartcards






would like to see a coin-look circumference surrounding smartcoin logo coin
I think the color of smarty could be lightened up, and the lightbulb made more noticable(it is hard to see the bottom part of the lightbulb in smarty drawing)

But I like the way it looks, I think its an improvement from the old banner and old twitter

The smartcoin avatar design contest was/is a success I think

Good day

Psionin should look at NLG and the Delta diff algo. Maybe he could incorporate (versus DGW3) it if they open source it, if it's good enough anyway.  NLG had KGW, DGW3 and DIGI for awhile, none truly worked, then they made their own diff algo. Don't know how well Delta is performing though -- that's why I said if it's good enough.

I don't get the dump?  In another thread/coin we call him the potatoman, dropping sacks hard for no good reason.

this might be part of the Smart Card future

seems they provide pay at terminal cards, and have 4 international offices

Smartcards and Smartcoin comic strip


Smartcoin Smartcard
The smartcard idea needs to be built out more, good idea for smartcoin.
What about smart contracts, the name seems so fitting for smartcoin?

Smartcoin or Smarty & SmartyPants Comic Strip
Did you notice there is a comic strip idea that came from the contest too?
Sure there is.
The Smartcoin Smarty and SmartyPants comic strip, if we build that idea out, then that goes in newspapers whereever they will accept it?(or blogs or websites)  Smiley
I made the first Smartcoin Smarty & SmartyPants comic strip! That means that picture is like Batman or Superman #1 when they first started? Not as famous, I know. It was Halofire's entry that gave me the idea though.

If you have a blog, website or newspaper, consider writing about the first Smartcoin comic strip that was created during the smartcoin avatar design contest. Don't be too concerned about the imperfections in the early going, Batman and Superman #1 looked different at first too. Smiley




Netcoin Foundation is looking into accepting smartcoin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11345331


This would likely be easier for smartcoin to be accepted, if smartcoin had payment processing at coinpayments.net
Does anyone have any plans to help smartcoin get a payment processor?






This coin has potential for sure, I picked up a little two weeks ago...  Smiley

I am a long time supporter of netcoin, from back in 2013.

I like the POS and PIR in netcoin wallet

I humbly ask to please add smartcoin smc for playing at the casino

here is link to smartcoin main thread to read a little about it
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annsmc-smartcoin-next-generation-currency-continued-development-675821

Hey!  

Greatly appreciate the support!  We'll look into smartcoin to add!

Thanks!





Netcoin Foundation will look into it, but smartcoin does need a payment processor I think.
We will wait and see what Netcoin Foundation decides though.

by the way, netcoin has a nice wallet for pos and it pays interest for holding coins in the wallet.
netcoin is starting to attract some bigger investments you may have noticed.
what do you think? buy in the dips?

Looks like someone was selling over 400,000 smartcoins at cryptsy.

These dips in prices are good chances to accumulate or take up a position in smartcoin smc.

There is only 24.5 million coins, so 400,000 is a big percentage of all the coins, great chance to get a big position in smartcoin.

Someone bought them at 178 satoshi I see.  

Price rebounding quickly.  Smiley




by the way, maybe take a look at the picture I put in the smartcoin avatar design contest thread (in op)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/smartcoin-avatar-design-contest-2-winners-get-paid-5000-smc-each-1035350
the pic is showing smaller than it is, I will try and post the pic at internetcoin.wordpress.com and should be able to zoom it in at full size I hope.
gives the  creativity a nudge to look at that pic.
Hey, there are really good ideas for smartcoin in that picture i think
Smiley



Update: Here is the link to the post at internetcoin.wordpress.com with the picture of the entries in the smartcoin avatar design contest:
http://internetcoin.wordpress.com/2015/05/16/picture-of-the-smartcoin-avatar-design-contest-entries/


and this link will take you directly to the page where the picture is hosted at wordpress.com
http://internetcoin.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/smartcoin_avatar_design_contest_april22_may14_2015.png

All ya need to do is left-click on the picture to zoom it in to full size.

Fantastic, now you can print it in full color if you want, put a frame on it, and hang it on your wall,
in remembrance of the smartcoin avatar design contest. Show it to friends, acquaintances, neighbors, co-workers, and help them to get a smartcoin wallet and get involved with Smartcoin Smiley



You may want to just copy the picture, and paste it into paint, and use the 'fill' command button in paint to fill in the orange lines and make them white around the picture, and ya could put a title on the picture too using the text command in paint. Smiley


I think the contest pic might be used for advertising smartcoin,
but it may make a neat picture on the wall too
You might want to help out by trying to get the contest into the news or on a blog.
I think it is an interesting story, and some other people might find it interesting too.
So send out those emails to the blogs, or start your own blog(if you start a blog at wordpress, then ya can reblog my post), use your contacts to get the story out there, it is in everyones better interest to get smartcoin exposure.
Tweet about it, or retweet me at @simplysmartcoin when I get around to tweeting about the contest.
facebook it, tumble it, reddit it, whatever social ways, just do it.

There is a smartcoin forum at smartcoin.boards.net and I have a blog at internetcoin.wordpress.com (when advertising it just makes sense to refer people to sites that have information about smartcoin.
smartcoin.cc is in doubt now, according to an earlier post. )

Thank you

Good day everyone Smiley

smartphone apps

Are about $250 for each Android and iOs, if you want to fork you pay again for a new app.

I am not in favour of the App right now, again very much in core investor stage not consumer utility stage.  And in time the App prices will drop.

If you interested in POS do the homework find the best flavour and dev out there.  Also be aware that you will need about 1000 active 'mint-ors' to have a stable network.  x11 is a solid #3 hash network ... if you are looking for to improve the SMART network I still strongly support POW but we could merge mine with Dash, Start, and Cann.

And if we do nothing SMART network is pretty damn good already, and if we can get the price up hash power goes up too!

Also on the table .... China it be nice to get our #3 market listing trading in CNY.

Bittrex is not a good match for SMC.  It is a volume IPO market, and likely full of fake volume too (bots trading with bots both on the same team).  

SMC has 2 markets right now.  SMC is listed on Cry and this gives it solid 'bluechip' potential.

POS is weak on security.  x11 POW is backed by Start and Dash.  SMC can run at the #3 spot on that hash network.

So on both fronts SMC is in a good position.

And the community is small enough to fork .. if and only if a better network to run on becomes clear.  Until then think, learn, and wait and see what happens in the crypto-verse.

On the smartphone market ... again it will take time ... but if we build a solid $100k product taking it to TeleCom vendors will be a much easier pitch.

SMC is in round 1 of finding solid long term investors and building the roadmap for the future.

5.  Expanding the mine pool list


I am in favor of changing smartcoin to pos, I think netcoin has done ok with that, and smartcoin might do ok too.

I think the most important thing is to try and find a fulltime dev for smartcoin, someone who invests their own time and money, and will stick with smartcoin long term, and try to help build more trust.
Look at Microguy from Goldcoin, see how hard he works? That is what smartcoin needs is someone like that.

How about a plan to get a smartphone app made? Is that the first step towards smartphones?
Once there is a smartphone app, then what? How does that become investment into smartcoins on exchanges to improve liquidity?

Explain where is the money with smartphones for smartcoin.


Someone said that to me, when I was introducing them to smartcoin, they said:

"SHOW ME THE MONEY",

so show me the money, and I can then show it to other people, and they might buy smartcoin.

SHOW ME THE MONEY is another way of saying 'Whats in it for me?'

Is there any hope to get this coin on Bittrex? Seams a decent on for it.  Huh

I looked all over the site.

I couldn't find any way to apply to get a coin onto Bittrex.

If you know how to get smartcoin onto Bittrex, then go for it.

SMARTY_INTRODUCING_SMARTCOIN_SMARTCARDS


looks good!
i like

Cheers Smartcoiners!


Take a look at the redone twitter profile of @simplysmartcoin


I think @simplysmartcoin looks so much better now, compared to
that black background before..

I think when people first see that profile, they will like smartcoin Smiley

Smarty, SmartyPants, and all those multicolored smartcards just seem
to be so much more full of life.


The smartcoin avatar design contest is a success already, and it isn't over yet.
Anyone can enter.

*note: the chip in the pics needs to be touched up a little along the edges and corners,
which I did for the twitter profile and my profile pic at bitcointalk, but all the pics with chips in the contest I posted all have those glitches around the chip. hardly noticable, unless really studying the pics


awesome, keep a good job

I have to admit I liked the pics myself, thank you for reinforcing what I thought, by saying 'awesome'.
Someone might do better yet in the smartcoin avatar design contest though. I am wondering if anyone will put a real looking coin circumference around the smartcoin logo? That would be interesting.


The smartcoin smartcard might be loaded with bitcoins or smartcoins, with the right technology

I have to ask again, why does my wallet stall periodically - for several hours at a time.  I clicked the block explorer link on the Smartcoin website and I got this response:

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

So is this coin in maintenance mode? or is there a capacity issue? or just a software problem that has not been rectified?  

Thanks.

Sorry about delays in answering questions.
I am not the most technically knowledgable person, but I have been trying to find people to invest and help smartcoin in many ways, including answering questions.

Smartcoin needs to stabilize and try to create more trust, for one thing, and with more trust, then more investors, and improved liquidity on exchanges.
The dev(psionin) hasn't been posting recently either, and we need psionin to post more often to help build trust, so I am hoping enthusiastic people will get involved in smartcoin, and from my last post I mentioned I think POS or interest paid in the wallets to people is something I like.
This high interest at beginning of pos and interest, would also reward people for sticking with smartcoin during all this time.

My wallet also didn't synch for a while, but now is synching again.

I do not know the answer.

Should Smartcoin Change To POS?

Or must smartcoin stay away from POS, because of what is thought to be the 'all important' smartphone market for smartcoin?


*note: the smartphone market for smartcoin is currently non-existent

If smartphones are so important to smartcoin, then why is the smartphone market non-existent for smartcoin?

Investors should be driving smartcoin price up, just based on the speculation of the non-existent smartphone market for smartcoin?


I have no patience to wait for the 'non-existent' smartphone markets to somehow notice smartcoin, when smartcoin is just sitting around waiting to be noticed by the smartphone markets.


But I believe POS might help considerably in the short term, with liquidity and the price of smartcoin goes up along with more buy orders for smartcoins on the exchanges, and people wanting to buy smartcoin.

We need something that gets people to want to buy smartcoins.


If it is smartphones that attracts investment, fine, but if it is POS, then fine too.

But I think smartcoin needs investment asap, there is no time to waste.
Therefore if you think smartphone categories will invest into smartcoin, then make it happen asap.

And you want us to put off POS, to wait for the nonexistent smartphone markets to notice smartcoin?
I don't have patience for that at all. Make it happen now.


The point is, that smartcoin needs investment right now.

Smartphone markets or POS, are two possible things to consider to make people want to buy smartcoins.
Either way, I don't care, but I prefer to make it happen asap.
Why would smartphone market make people want to buy smartcoins? I don't know why. Please explain.

Both smartcoin and netcoin started out as scrypt coins.
Both coins changed last year.
We see netcoin has had some success with their changes to POS and PIR, they have liquidity.
We see smartcoin has not had much success with the changes, and there is hardly any liquidity.
That is why I am thinking POS or some kind of interest paid in the wallet might be really good for smartcoin to increase liquidity, (but people are saying pos will harm the smartphone possibilities for smartcoin, but I don't see any smartphone possibilities, there isn't any smartphone market for smartcoin at this time)

Netcoin has over 400 million coins(and producing more all the time), and is trading higher priced per coin, than smartcoin with only 24.5 million coins all time. Do you see the opportunity for smartcoin there? I hope so

I predict smartcoin price goes up between 10x to 20x (1800 to 3600 satoshi) shortly after changing to POS with interest in wallet, to perhaps float in similar ways to netcoin, but smartcoin would still have fewer coins, so I don't know.
and I would still consider that to be low priced, another 10x(I mean 100x to 200x or 18000 to 36000 satoshi per coin) might be possible in the near to mid term. Longer term, who knows?
It might create incentive to buy smartcoins and hold smartcoins, because people earn coins from POS and also from interest. People don't sell as many coins then.
There isn't as many coins sitting on exchanges maybe, and that helps smartcoin too, because it is too high risk to have too many coins sitting on an exchange.
People put the coins in their wallets, to get paid the interest and POS.

I think Netcoin is showing us the way. The rates of interest might be lowered at a later time, but I think a high rate of interest, like Netcoin, for the first year or two after going POS with interest, should help smartcoin considerably.
Because people will buy it for the high rate of interest, and the fact people are buying it, creates liquidity,
and smartcoin needs liquidity. Smiley

Whereas, show me the money with smartphones associated with smartcoin



Let's make it happen People. Smiley
