Does anyone want to start a fund to support hempcoin in the future? Right now is an excellent time to get some cheap investment into this fund and have it be worth a lot more in a month or two.

I am not sure how this would work yet. I just want a fund with a million+ hempcoins in it for the future.

Hi,

I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for wallet enhancements.
- (Bug?) On the Received Hemp tab (in linux) it is not possible to slide the field divider between Label and Address (on one of my machines, this makes it so you cant see the full addresses, they all end in "...")
- (enhancement) Also on the Received Hemp Tab, would it be possible to add another field that shows the balances for each of the individual wallet addresses?
- (enhancement) Would it be possible to have the overall Balance visible somewhere on every tab?  Especially on the Transactions tab. I watch that tab more often than the "Your Stash" tab, since it shows more history.  Maybe on the status line at the bottom, or somewhere at the top.. Even in the title bar might be ok...

Thanks! You guys are doing a great job!

I think we need some sort of road map or plan so everyone will keep calm and know hempcoin. Dev, are you interested? A few things I want to bring up.

1. Twitter Presence: The new website will help us a lot with twitter presence. My plan is to write quality persuasive articles on our website. All of us tweet, retweet & favorite. Also consider sending the message directly to people. I want all the big names to see our articles (@smokin35, @BryceWeiner, @cryptoCobain, @jebus911, @d_seaman, etc.) whether you like them or not they all need to see the articles. For twitter we need to use great headlines that will catch people’s attention. I am writing one called “The Best Block Explorer in Crypto”. That title will make people want to check it out. Fact is we have the best block explorer in crypto and no body knows it. Why is it the best block explorer? That will all be explained in the article. It will be impressive and people will have to take note.

People often don’t understand what you assume. We need to explain why the HTML5 wallet is so awesome and the implications it can have. People need to read these things to be reassured it is a great investment. I think we have so much awesome stuff here but marketing is all about guiding people. We need to tell people how awesome we are, they will support it because it is true, and everything is backed. Why isn’t our new video being passed around twitter? I mean put in all this amazing work only to not promote it? I will help lead you guys in promoting Hempcoin.

We can also tweet articles that show the hemp industry is growing if things are a little stale for reassurance: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/proponents-hope-hemp-goes-the-way-of-canola/article20128238/

2. Rolling Paper Promotion: we are ordering custom branded 100% pure hemp rolling papers for a promotion. Users will be able to fill in their mailing address & deposit THC on our website and the rolling papers will be mailed to them. I am using C-CEX merchant API integrated with the new website and everything is passing alpha tests.

This will spread quickly over twitter and orders will be coming in fast. This is kind of a test for building out a full hemp store.

The rolling papers are an interesting promotion because we can send messages to people on the custom designed packages. People are able to give them to a friend who knows little about cryptocurrency and they will become interested. There is meant to be a way for them to get some free hempcoins using a QR code sending them to the faucet.. not quite sure yet. It is something that people who want to get their friends into crypto can buy and give to their friends.  Hemp supporters are typically also supporters of a decentralized world. It is a perfect match crypto + hemp.

3. Hemp Industry: Why would a company choose Hempcoin over Bitcoin? Bitcoin is the leader in cryptocurrency and a payment model for every business. Any cryptocurrency provides a direct advantage to traditional payment methods because the savings on transaction fees. Hempcoin not only provides this technological advantage but also maintains a large community of like-minded hemp supporters. For a company selling hemp products, this is considered highly targeted niche marketing and results in an overwhelming success. In effect, a hemp company accepting hempcoins is connecting this niche community with products they are looking for. Advertisers are always looking for the best methods to do niche target marketing.

4. New wallet coming: I heard anon transactions are on the way, plus more. We are going to like it Smiley

I know there are more developments under way that I can’t mention yet, and as they come out I will write quality articles on the website. I hope to have everyone’s support tweeting them and making sure everyone sees them.


Are there any plans to create a richlist of the top HempCoin wallets??

Those are great ideas. I hope people in the community will help out.

I wish someone here was @smokin35, @BryceWeiner, @cryptoCobain, @jebus911, @d_seaman, etc. or had a popular general crypto blog that people followed.

@BryceWeiner is very familiar with Hempcoin. He actually helped me design this coin. Maybe we can think of a creative way to get him more involved.

Made some changes to the address page.  I've stopped it from stalling out on addresses with high transaction counts although addresses with 10's of thousands of transactions still take a while..  I made it so negative balances show up as 0 and I added a note about account balances and how they are somewhat useless.. lol

Also added a resources page with all the main hempcoin links.  Please tell me if you see something I've missed.

oh.. and qr codes that I can't really test yet.. lol



Edit: tested QR codes with a regular QR scanner and it looks like it's good to go.

Who dumped on bittrex? I would have bought your coins for way more. Huge dump of 1,100,000 coins all at once. Crazy. I guess there also didn't know about c-cex. There are still buy orders over there at 50+. I have been trading more in c-cex to support them since they offer the merchant service for any coin on their exchange.

Some lucky people picked up hemp coin all the way down at 18 satoshi. That is the price from 3 months ago. Pre block explorer and HTML5 wallet times.

I snagged a bunch up cheap but in reality that is like less than a week of mining. I am sick of the miners dumping. Maybe we should switch to HEMP and cut off the mining. Too many coins in today's world.

First off, thank you guys for reeling me back in as you have to do every few months.. LOL..  Embarrassed



I agree, cutting off the mining supply isn't a bad idea.  we already have too many coins.. lol :p

If you cut off the mining it will be the death of THC I assure you. Cannabis coin never considered cutting off mining even when the price was down to 15 satoshi for weeks at a time and they are doing great now.

And how do you know it was a miner dumping? Miners don't save up to dump all at once like that, they know they will get more btc by selling in increments.

The only people who dump like that are frustrated investors who need BTC right away for a new investment they are rushing to get into.

We need to bring some farmers in soon. We don't want them to feel like they're getting ripped off because the price just went up a bunch before they got in.


If you live in any of these cities could you please check out these meet ups? You can also look for other meet ups on other websites.
http://hemp.meetup.com/
http://hemp-farming.meetup.com/
http://industrial-hemp.meetup.com/

My suggest way of marketing here is secretive social marketing.
#1 dress and act like a farmer.
#2 get a friend to go to the meet up as a farmer. Get 2 friends, even better. It will build your social value when more than 1 person is interested in what you are saying.
#3 pretend like you don't know your friend and demo hemp coins for your friend during the "socializing period". A good time to socialize is 30 mins before the event and 30 mins after.
#4 have your friend ask certain questions for it that you already have the answer for.

Speak pretty loud and allow other people to see the screen if they want to listen in. People at these meet ups love learning new things. They love listening in and grouping around people talking and showing things.

The key to this type of marketing is to make them think you are one of them. A hemp farmer.

I don't mean to be rude with my statement, so please don't take it that way!! Smiley

Personally I don't think $THC has nearly the name or reputation you guys think it has.  I don't know about you guys but I don't see ANYONE talking about THC on twitter, so really, what epic name have we created for ourselves that can be tarnished?  

Also, we always get thought of as a POT coin which we are not.  A great way to get away from that is to stop using THC and switch to HEMP.

We've seen other coins switch and it hasn't mattered in the end.   Heck, it may be a way to do another marketing push..

Either way, it doesn't matter to me but my vote is for HEMP

Time for my brutally honest opinion after spending another week or two(a couple weeks back) trying to push the price and the hashrate. We're sitting at 63 sats and 0.019 btc volume on bittrex.  There's absolutely no reason for a user to use this coin right now, not one. Unless this coin starts coming up with something real, it's going to die. Look at potcoin struggle and they do a HELL of a lot more than this community does.

I'm not trying to be an ass and maybe it's just time for someone reel me back in again and show me the light... but I'm getting to the point where I need to start focusing on what's going to pay off so I can start telling myself this crypto thing isn't a hobby.  I've given hempcoin more support than any coin out there so please don't think of me as a hater, I'm trying to look at things realistically. Supporting a coin that really has nothing going for it won't last for me for much longer.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm once again frustrated.  I have 8GPU's that hash blake256 24/7, so I pay for that power.  I take almost every satoshi from that and put it into either buying hashing power for the THC network or buying THC.  I also spend $35/month on good VPS to host the block explorer.   .....I also built the beta block explorer.  I've invested a lot into this coin and continue to invest as I watch the alt market change from pump and dump to "ONLY THE GREATEST WILL SUCCEED-IF THEY ARE LUCKY".  

...I know, I know... I still need to get that press release done.  But if you think a random coin of the day article on a crypto site is going to push the price to 1000 sats.... I'd like to let you know that the game has changed.. Wink

Once again, I'm not trying to be a dick or put anyone down or anything like that.. Yes, it was my choice to support hempcoin and I LOVE hempcoin but my reality at the moment is that I have a bunch of hempcoin that's worth 63 sats and an alt market that's getting more serious by the day.  If a very serious use case doesn't come out for this coin, where do you think it's going?  Does anyone really think that hemp farmers will choose hempcoin over bitcoin?  

Looking for input, looking to be reeled back in, looking for some reason to keep expending energy. Cheesy

I understand you are impatient, I'm impatient too. Things take time. New wallet with killer features will be released soon. After that, I will be working on Android wallet. In meanwhile, we may get some merchant (doesn't have to be hemp related) to accept HEMP. I'm in contact with guys who are working on altcoin ATM and I think I could get Hempcoin in (but that will take at least month). Things are looking quite good in my opinion.  Price and volume isn't best, I know, but it was trading even lower. Only coins that are few days old and have big marketing team or coins which have some application (remember, you cannot buy single thing with HEMP yet) have better price.

As for changing ticker, I'm 100% for HEMP ticker. But you need to convince Tim Cheesy It's trivial change, but it would help a lot I think. You know, hemp doesn't contain any THC. Yes, it could mean The Hemp Coin, but that's just not as good as HEMP.

tldr: I'm happy with things and I know they will be even better. HEMP is better ticker than THC.

And I agree with kryptologist, Hempchain is best explorer in altcoin world. I can't wait for full version.

No that link was definitely a virus, look at the top. Edited by a mod to say it was a virus.
That's not the right THC so the worry is about them tainting this THC.

http://hempcoin.org/hempcoin1.7.0.3-qt.exe

Not Found

The requested URL /hempcoin1.7.0.3-qt.exe was not found on this server.


Help?

http://hempcoin.org/hempcoin1.7.0.3-qt.exe definitely works.

Thanks, it does work now. The link did not work earlier Smiley

It is my fault, we switched over to the new website which is on a different server so the location of the wallet had changed. I updated it but there may be some missing links still. Polishing the new website today.

You guys are doing a great job on the website! Cheesy
