Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 387. (Read 1356147 times)

sounds like a government plan, how about for people that would not want their name on another database ? That wouldnt make it very fair. Sound like 2 separate ideas, 1 for verification/reward and another referral /reward

Interesting idea...I like it!

I've got another idea to help spread Vericoin to new users. A referral program.

The fact of the matter is that people need incentives to actually actively tell people about Vericoin, and to encourage them to download the wallet, and BUY Vericoin.

What better way to do this than to reward people who actually get new users to start using Vercoin, than to reward them with Vericoin?

Now, for this to work it would go hand in hand with Verification, this would prevent exploitation, as only once a new user has been verified, would rewards be paid to the referrer.

Thoughts?

He started the topic on Dirac so maybe it's bryce and he's no longer interested in this coin?  Or someone close to him that has equal thoughts on the subject... that's my guess anyway

lol that just shows how long i've been around lmao

That's exactly what I was thinking. I remember him too. He was alright ol' coine.
talk about winding back the VRC clock their.

I understand what you are saying but "of choice" doesn't apply: Ebay imposes it and that's why it is the payment that most people use on the internet. Amazon doesn't use it and that's quite some market.

It is up for debate if being identified as "the PayPal of the crypto world" would be negative or not to the image of Vericoin. Personally I don't believe it will be, as long as it is not PayPal dependent or perceived as PayPal dependent (vendors HATE the chargebacks PayPal is famous for), but others may have different opinions... and the devs the last word. Again, good thinking, thank you. These types of ideas are -or should be- what moves the project forward toward the mainstream.

I'm Veri glad to hear that you are considering verification as the way forward.

If it were me, I would be focussing on that step first and foremost. As it would be revolutionary for a crypto.

I've also got other ideas to help spread Vericoin, if you'd like I could PM you to discuss further?

Like socal mentioned we are actually working on both ends of the spectrum, it's pretty exciting stuff.  However it seems that so much of the market variability we have seen is due to buying on rumors and selling on news and all that jazz.  We don't want to give too much power to rumor and news.  It just isn't efficient to work in that context, so we are being a bit more tactful and strategic about announcements regarding the yet to be released features.  However if you watch the hangout tomorrow you will get a more info about what we have been working on.  Also final fix for windows wallet is coming, I'm doing some test builds right now and then we will start working on phase two of the 'Buy VeriCoin' button, which will be more customized for the wallet.

You should not use BS. Ever. In public.

I don't agree with barabbas being on that list though, there are people who you can disagree with but understand they are not FUD slingers, just different opinion havers ('smoothie' another example imo).

People say things like "Oh, Vericoin, the Paypal of the crypto world" Like that's a BAD thing!?

Paypal might be far from perfect, but they are THE payment method of choice for the entire internets...

Here's the thing: Whenever there's a dump, some vociferous people will inevitably shout for the devs to come out and somehow make some magical announcement that would turn the wave on the opposite direction.

These devs not only speak often but actually speak too much. Between hangouts, twitter, (presumably) IRC, the other outlets and this forum, one has to think there's practically no time in the 24 hours to do any actual work, let alone planning, meeting etc, especially in the case of Patrick and Doug. And that doesn't include interviews with media or meetings with potential business associates/partners. It also produces emotional, hurried postings that, in many cases, are or can be quite detrimental to the progress of the project, making statements not carefully thought of and/or to rightfully written.

The shouts from the forums, obviously put unnecessary -if inevitable- pressure on them. And, perhaps -it seems it is what happens- making decisions that are counter to the path that VRC should pursue. Everyone seems to be willing to pay a premium in crypto for the latest version of anon. Still. It is ridiculous but it is a fact. So, all of a sudden, Doug announces that they are working on an anon feature when we have all been informed, many times over, that anon is not a priority for VRC. Like I said, it has all the looks of being something hurried to try and stop the dumping. And that would be very unnecessary and, again, counter productive in the long run.

I posted before that the devs must cater to the stake holders of the coin that are the ones that have and are and will continue supporting the project. Not the people that will shout every time there's a sell off. And they should talk much less and do much more. Not necessarily features, but planning,  preparing meetings, preparing interviews, devising strategies -which they should bring here so the stakeholders could debate them-, preparing (much better) the hang outs, etc.

You, and many -I'd venture a huge majority-, and me could care less about anonymity. As a matter of fact, you and me find it counterproductive for the image and final purpose of this coin. But I understand they feel pushed to implement it to try and revert the humongous dump... but lets go, again, to the dump: It isn't their  fault. It isn't a consequence of the rollback. It isn't anything that could or should be stopped. It just happened because, at this point in time, not many new money is coming in and many people that had heavy gains, sold to invest in some promising new coins. As simplke as that. But worse decline in terms of % of "loss" has been had in the same period of time by other coins not perceived as especially volatile, such as NAUT, PC or BC to mention only three of them. In those cases -and there will be others in the future- the devs should only say they know of no reason for the sell off and get back to work. That should be calming enough for the stakeholders. And some will panic and sell and some others will do the opposite. Rinse and repeat. It is a constant in crypto and it is not going to change much in the relatively near future.

Now, regarding your idea of VERIFICATION, I cannot possibly be more IN SUPPORT of it. It goes, totally, with the image and the philosophy Vericoin should stand for. Thank you for suggesting it and, hopefully, the majority of stakeholders will support it and the devs would decide to implement it yesterday.

Keep bringing them on, please.

ok well once again though how would you go about implementing this VERIfication? and did you email the devs? as you can see because of all the BS on here its easy for legit ideas to get lost and buried
