Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 270. (Read 1356147 times)

Hey yo,

I hate to throw this at you like this... cause I'm literally leaving for a camping trip in a few minutes. Yeah we are trying to get a poster. You can connect with Amsterdamer guy on IRC or on here to coordinate. I'm not going to be back until Monday night. So hopefully we can get something figured out by then/or then/after that

I'll see everyone in 4 days

This child needs to get a life.

What the latin origin of the word 'amen' is really has nothing to do with the price of fish these days.

My point was just to illustrate how fanatical and delusional some of the VRC supporters here are when they PRAISE the devs for stringing them along..

Amen, from the Arabic and Hebrew, simply means "so be it", or it can also be translated VERIly, or TRUEly. VERI comes from the Latin word for "truth" - veritas.  Got a problem with that?

PS: Whoever is doing language support for VeriCoin, be sure to call it AmenCoin in Arabic speaking countries.

[So fucking tired of the idiots posting here. -amen]

Hallelujah brothers and sisters!!  Hallelujah!!

Thou shall believe in the POWER of Vericoin! Thou shall NOT QUESTION the powers that be!

I shall SPITE the non-believers and condemn them to HELL!

The lord hath spoken and the lord shall speaketh again, at some point, sometime, maybe.

AMEN BRO!!!!

Xosihc Get back to me regarding the wide vinyl banner. Is that still a go for the event ? if so i can put something together asap.

as for the brochure which i mentioned before, it has multiple pages. I circled back with the devs recently and I think it would be ok to share as some of the content has been made public. Since this is multiple pages to print cost can add up.

Do you have any printed material you plan on handing out, if so let me know how i can help. 

These things damn near always take 10x longer than the innovative and fast moving developer thinks. The last startup I did took 10 months to finalize the agreement for the first investment. That's 10 months from when the investor agreed to do it (legal stuff, minor contract edits, changes to shareholder agreements, etc, etc, all take time)! It all can take a lot of time when real money is on the table...

Hey guys,

Just to give an update, the written agreement needed minor modifications, that is all we are waiting on now.  These things go much slower than I had hoped, if it was only under my control it would have been done days ago.  Nonetheless we are moving forward as expected.

Every coin helps!! We really appreciate the contribution. Thanks to your 400 VRC we are now up to 11,585 Vericoin to be handed our during the Minnesota State Fair! Our goal is to have enough Vericoin to give out two $25 VRC prize drawings on top of 5-10 VRC to anyone who is interested. We hope to handout coins to at least 1,000 people (on top of all the people we will hand promotional materials too) =)

Muchos Gracias

Good to see someone putting things into perspective. So much negative feelings are around and it is not good for vericoin.

I am going to donate 400vrc to your fund in a minute. Hope it helps.

Someone seems mad about the price. I say cut the lose and sell. If someone feels they made a bad investment blame only yourself. May warning out there about crypto. I remember buying Ltc around this time last year. Everyone was soo down on Ltc (bought almost 9900 LYUzQXeAHRqvvYr2Yps7rnJjvCnMWyKLGC which went on BTC-e for BTC). I remember Dogecoin was a gamble... Ultracoin had promise but I couldn't help selling it off in first 2 weeks. I was there with BC in the beginning but recognized a very unhealthy growth and sold to buy back way cheaper (still a great coin and still have some for a rainy day).  Darkcoin was another nice surprise.

The moral of my story is. I have "luck" with coins. My misses nothing I remember too much about but my grand slams will buy you some items. I'm not going to be the "To Da MooN!" guy but keep your eyes on Vericoin.  I love the direction it is going. I love the fact I can spend it like BTC. I hodl and wait.

But if you mad bro... cut and run. No one is to blame for losing $$$ except the person that clicked the buy button! There is no dev, no cheerleader, no pumper, no scammer NO ONE that can ever be blamed but the person that clicked the magic buy button.

Peace out guys... have fun!

P.S. why do people give devs a hard time if they say "This is the next bitcoin", "This will be accepted by everyone that believes in anything resembling money"?

Would it make you feel better if a dev said "i kinda believe in our coin but it might be crap"? Devs do your thang!

Well this doesn't happen over night... I myself am putting as much effort forward on this front as possible. In less than 10 days I will be hosting a Vericoin booth at the Minnesota State Fair. Saturday 8/30/14 from 11am-4pm to be exact. On any given day our state's fair can see anywhere from 150,000-250,000 people. We are going to see A TON of people in a very short amount of time. We have been working quite hard behind the scenes to make business cards, poster boards, signs & banners. We'll be handing out Vericoin, Vericoin poker chips (which by the way ScottAllyn - if you're reading this I got them today! So thanks!) and helping people download the wallet on their phones. We are also in the works of putting together some PR around this event and the team that got us here. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this single event is going to turn Vericoin into a every day technology - but its a step in the right direction. People have to wait 5+ years to get a booth at this fair and they aren't cheap ($25K+ isn't an exaggeration). Aside from this 1 event - I have already gotten 6 other people in my personal network to invest in VRC. And 1 person that I got, got 2 others. So thanks to me alone - there are now 8 more people who own VRC just from simply talking about it.

I'm a firm believer in focusing on the mass adoption direction. This has been a goal of mine not only for Vericoin but for crypto currencies as a whole for almost 2 years now. There are very few others outside the VRC team that I see trying to make strides in this direction. This is why I stand behind the coin and this is why I'll continue to support the coin. The great thing about a lot of crypto currencies is the fact they are open source. Let the other coins worry about anon/2.0/usernames/etc. - Vericoin can always take those features down the road and implement them to their own coin.

I get there are other people who don't see mass adoption as a main priority. That is the beauty of this "alt-coin" world. There are tons of different projects with tons of different goals. This is why the whole argument of "my coin is the best coin" is so retarded. Vericoin has their vision and the dev team and supporters (like myself) are working hard on moving the dial forward. I personally would rather put my time and effort into helping the average Joe understand and get into crypto vs. worrying about anon feature and making sure no one know who I am. That's just me - it's not right or wrong but yeah... I think there are others out there who feel the same way I do.

Still no announcement, they have apparently been getting it in writing for days now.

Will someone save me the effort of reading the last 5 pages of copy and pastes and let me know if the "weekend" announcement has been made?

Long term goals yes that is the plan to elevate this coin above others. For that to happen some fundamentals things must be achieved.

- Solid marketing plan to push the brand beyond what it currently is. part of it could start with a video showing the benefits of this coin done in a professional manner.

- Public awareness (hence my initial positive response to the global day) * still a great idea but that needs some serious planning execution.

- Setting realistic goals / milestones with expected time frame. Ie In Q3 we will deliver xxx and we will start to promote it by this date.

- Realistic roadmaps. Deadlines must be met. Set and manage expectations.

- More public interaction (yes I know the devs are busy, but setting time for public hang outs is a great tool to keep the information flowing) Twitter updates, social media all help too.

- Blog with updated content / news * already in progress, however it needs even more push.

- Community must get involved more. Fine example is the MN fair which the community positively rallied behind should bring some awareness.

- Follow design guidelines: I recently created a brand book which should help a ton. Ie if anyone wants to create a promotion, these are the guidelines to follow, ( brand, colors, typography, do's and don'ts) and you should have a more unified, professional look to anything we publish. Image is everything, we can't publish something that looks cheap and off brand.

- Perception: View above on image. We also need to work as a community. We need to respect each other. Sure there are people who come here and create fud etc, we can do our best to stay civil. However if you are a leader, respected member.. one should act accordingly in a professional manner. We should be open to criticism as long as it is positive and the person offers solution and ideas.

- Technological advancements - the ultimate one. We need to share ideas, the stuff in progress (Wallet ui, Blockchain 2.0
and other goodies cooking all will give us an edge. tie that to when we can expect them and they must be delivered.

The devs have stated this before too, they created the coin and we must do our part too.

If you guys want to share ideas and thoughts on what to improve, let's hear them.

Well said that. Maybe we should draft together a mission statement followed by a plan on how to achieve that. I think the Vericoin leaders has some part in achieving this.

Please enlighten me with all the facts you've come out with in all these paragraphs of text you've taken so long to write? And, please tell me where I have 'invented' facts to justify inclinations? lol

Any real value is always dependent on the 'community' or 'the people', just like gold, fiat money etc, so saying that value comes from us is stupidly obvious. If everyone suddenly agreed that gold no longer had value, it's kind of obvious what would happen.
