Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 234. (Read 1356149 times)

Thanks for your 'statement'. I really needed a review of your thoughts. I agree with your post, after POW period 3 things where released veri quick. VeriBIT, VeriSEND and VeriSMS after deployment of these features there was a roadmap. The roadmap shows Updated GUI Wallet, which still isnt released. And not alot of info since then. Since price went down, the devs are 'silent' or not in touch with the community anymore. We need to RESYNC and come together, maybe expand the DEV team, with an open position, someone who takes care for the community daily (for free).

Same thing with build in buy feature for the wallet, when is the update going to be released? Vericard in combination with the buy vericoin in the wallet, should be a killer combo. We need to close the ecosystem, with closing i mean should have paid attention to all points ever made in this thread and tie all loose ends

Instead of speaking, doing something.

Speaking of, I have build a staking device for my VRC and other coins, it draws max 2-5 watt with linux installed(ubuntu). Is anyone interested in buying some sort of device? I could make a custom VRC case staking 'pc'. It has a quadcore 1.6Ghz, 2GB ram, 16 GB hdd, WiFi & bluetooth etc

I can make a custom design with VRC logo etc when my laser engraver arrives. I can also integrate, arcade buttons, arcade stick, touchscreen, keyboard etc to build different versions (staking device with MAME installed and arcade buttons & stick is the shit)

Costs are not 'veri high' i estimate about 79-85 dollar for a 'clean' quadcore version without screen (you can attach your own monitor with HDMI)
For a dualcore system about 60-70 dollar

Since it draws almost no power, and is small (about the size of a floppy 1.44) I hope it encourages people to stake!

I have posted a thousand times already the reasons, you simply don't want to remember. Here it goes again: This coin set a new standard in honesty and transparency and, for that, I wanted to be a part of it.

What didn't I like? Everything else that came after the launch: The baseless and completely stupid arrogance of Nosker, mainly but not only. The absolute lack of direction. The total lack of simple knowledge to code something of any significance... but more than anything else, the lack of action. On ANY direction with even a remote sense of PURPOSE.

You made me repeat it, I didn't think is was needed...

Now, I have finally understood the situation: The devs played their cards. They launched Vericoin. The three of them figured on dedicating maybe about 8 hours per week, each, to the coin and, most of that time, to do basically hangouts, tweets and any censored channel with the entire consensus of the cheerleading contingent. A project of the dimensions that Vericoin has gotten to, cannot be run like that. It is quite the full time job... and then something. And these three, as they have stated, have families, careers and school to do. Lots of it. Vericoin is a side show for them, nothing else. Oh they would like it to be successful and they are willing to invest more than double, at least for now, the time they planned in dedicating to it. For now. Holidays and all. But from here on, it is whatever anyone, away from the devs, makes of Vericoin or the project is going to end up in the gutter. The dev team lacks the skills AND the time, that salvaging Vericoin would require. As simple as that.

Complicating matters to extreme, they have monumental egos, reason why they won't just let others take charge. Or, simply, follow their lead.
And that's why we are where we are and we will be where we will be in the near future.

I certainly hope not to have to repeat any of this any more...

Why is it that you invested in this coin (not much, i have seen you somewhere posting)? What things in VRC did attract you? And what didnt you like?

I don't think you are saying what warr1979 is saying (not that it would make much of a difference because both things are exercises in absurdity, but just to clarify things). If I have understood correctly -and I know I have- he blames the Mintpal "affair" for having DELAYED the otherwise plentiful slew and magnificent releases by our dynamic dev team...

You, on the other hand, seem to point to the MP "affair" as the cause of the derailment IN PRICE of the coin, that was "gearing up for a good hard run..." instead. Just to make things perfectly clear, when VRC stopped trading because of the "affair", it was in the 37k level, having been recently above 43k and just days before touching 58k. When trading resumed, VRC traded for quite a few days in the 34-32 region. Subsequently, a very, very, very slow downside spiral started, without any rebound. In no way, shape or form it can be made related to the MP "affair". As a matter of fact, the fall from the low 30s mirrored that of many other similar coins, particularly BlackCoin -that still mirrors in price behavior- and NAUT.

So very wrong on both counts. The MintPal "affair" did not delay anything at all, not even the vacations of the dev team, and in no way was, even remotely, the cause of the monumental sell-off.

Just keeping the record straight.

You can like "the direction the coin is going" just like you may like the color purple. You are just another bagholder who tries to convince himself it's oke to remain invested in it, but this coin is going in NO DIRECTION WHATSOEVER, none atm.

And hasn't been since launch, by the way.

You have to take into account that this flyer was made for a particular promo where the stand will be giving some VRC to the people that pass along the Minnesota State Fair. So that last "we'll fill it up with some VeriCoin" doesn't make much sense. I can make a quick version without that last text and that would make it more useful.

Thanks i will be printing a few, a spread them in my town and school. Do you have a VRC Address, so i cant donate a few

You should do your own research. Cant trust no-body on this forum, and don't let them get in your head!

Also did you guys see that (tweet) Moolah/Mintpal is getting a overhaul with FIAT trading etc? Should be released soon.



Also heard they are releasing a desktop version, might be a step in the right direction.

Just my 2 cents on the situation...

1st - From a technical point of view the current support ("bottom" if you will) is around 6500 stat. That was the previous low before any recent pumps (in late June or early July... whenever that was). So if you want to wait for the low perhaps you can test to see whether it can touch 6500 or even break it. If it breaks 6500 then it will be a true free for all (in my opinion) on how low we can go. So if you agree on that take we are fairly close to the bottom. It might be worth entering a position now, adding some orders lower and then seeing where it can go from there.

2nd take - since we've been in a down trend for quite some time and have had a difficult time breaking what used to be 20k, now 15k - you can wait and put a mental stop order at 15k and wait to see if we ever do break it. You won't time the bottom this way, but by doing this you will protect yourself from buying on a downtrend aka trying to catch a falling knife.

3rd take - what I would suggest: do a dollar cost average and just say I'm going to buy 1 (or 2) BTC worth of Vericoin every week for the next 5-10 weeks. No you won't time the bottom this way but it's a more conservative way to enter in a position. You'll catch some highs and some lows within the greater trend. If you are really confident in holding the position you might as well enter in slowly but surely.

Now whether or not to buy Vericoin vs. Crypti? Well I don't know enough about Crypti to provide any advice on it. Personally I would suggest diversifying your holdings so it would probably be best to buy a little of both, over time - if you believe in the projects.

Best of luck!

I like the direction of the coin. I bought 6 btc when it was around 25k once I really looked at the coin. I have slowly been buying since. The devs transparency and honesty helps the coin in the long run but also hurt the coin in the short run. Like warr1979 said it was gearing up for a good hard run but Mintpal.....

The thing about crypto is time moves different. A week is like a month. A month is like 3-4 months. Good things will happen and the Mintpal crap will be forgotten soon. Another thing about crypto is what doesn't kill a coin only makes it stronger. Enough believe in the coin to keep it strong. I am sure the devs are in it for the long haul. Keep a coin strong and fresh and like a tree it will grow.

I am not telling you to invest. I don't give investment advice. I pushed the buy button and I life with the consequences whether good or bad. I either blame myself or pat myself in the back.

Hey Buy4Crypto,

I appreciate the advice and i do agree with 100% of it. Fortunately I do promotional marketing work for my 'B' job all the time. I'm used to being at large events engaging with massive crowds all day long. NFL/MLB/Concerts etc etc. Haha I can guarantee you I won't get burned out in a 5 hour shift. I recently did a 5 day, 12 hour/day stint while the MLB All Star game was in town and that was on top of me also being at my real job for 3 of those 5 days .  I completely agree - always been high energy - always be talking to somebody - always be 'on'. We're going to try to keep a good balance of quantity vs. quality. While we only have the booth for 5 hours - we'll be at the fair the entire morning/day/evening. =)

IMO,

The most impressions you will get respresenting VeriCoin will be people walking by. The only chance to see what vericoin is about might be for a quick glimpse, don't let it be boring. Keep the area busy! Call your friends, have people you know stop by, keep the area lively, have fun people around you, don't be to serious. But don't be a clown either. Music makes your area seem energetic. A lot of fair booths use music to keep the energy level up.

The best thing you, and the team respresenting vericoin can do is get energetic.. Find some energy that you can harness and get absolutely excited about the entire day. As much as you may be tired in that 4th or 5th hour, push through, always be busy. NEVER LOOK BOARD! Talk to anyone, and everyone. If you have merchandise to give away, get out to the fair early and tell people where you will be all day and prep the crowd with cards. Go to the beer tents and find a cute girl and give her a nice tip, and I mean like 50 bucks, this could be in vericoin, or straight cash homey. make an impression on her, and get them to be your best asset leading up to the time your booth is ready. Try to find a tent close to you, or an area close to you and get the crowd ready for your time slot.

Go and place the VeriCoin Cards earlier in that day in places that allow you to. You are representing the brand so try not to stick them near areas people associate with bad things, like the toilets Do well brother. GL

Who are you that your saying this information?

Still negotiating with, and vetting the dev4.  Could be a while... but not long now.

Any news about dev #4?

Yes it most likely was pumped at that time, I bought in at 33ish-k, I believe we are at the floor with 8k maybe 7.5k. but that is my opinion. I mean the fact that I am selling my spare rims on my car to buy more at around 8k doesnt mean I am rite. No one can predict what will happen. I am also mining the veripool atm because the payouts are a lot nicer at these low prices.

Can't wait until IOS app is approved and ready for download!

I'll add on to this.  I think the devs are in it for the long haul.  So, although development is slow at times, it's still steady and you don't have worry about them disappearing into the night.
