Nice, ill try that.

Hmm... I like it.

We need new slogan!

DucatsCoin was added to AltCoinCalendar.info.  Check Coin CountDown                  

I do not understand the advantage of this coin compare to other altcoin. I thought i have seen this coin before. Is this a relaunch?

I'll shoehorn this in here, shoulda been a response to Shadow_Runner's post:


A solid start (your posting history is a credit to your dedication and talent).

A skeumorphic approach using a realistic-looking coin is the obvious door #1 for the start of any design investigation ... but as you note:


To do that I think you must move away from the realism, losing the detail (which would inevitably be indistinct at typical icon sizes) and working more towards a symbol-like approach (at least purely to have an alternative, something to contrast with the skeumorphic approach). I know it's a tough task but the end result could be worth it.

To have the kind of impact that's expected from a logo/icon/symbol (it plays all three roles) the visual appearance should aim to be distinct from the bulk of the 1001 other wannabe altlitebitcoins, be implemented in svg and should be recognisable even when condensed into a favicon.

I don't know about the ru edition but the en.wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducat offers some stimulating background context for feeding the design muse, e.g. "a gold or silver coin used as a **trade coin** in Europe from the later medieval centuries until as late as the 20th century."

It occurs to me that a skeumorphic approach has one inarguable advantage -- it directly renders the item, there's no symbol processing required. This might confer a cross-cultural advantage, free of linguistic concerns.

If you pursue the realistic strand further, there may be some mileage in browsing the designs created by some of the modern mints, e.g. http://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/

What sets this apart from any other coin?

No nothing was changed. The block reward goes down when the difficulty goes up. Difficulty was around 300 for a long time and recently increased to 1200. You can check this on the block explorer.

I have just updated the logo in the first post and added LazyCoins.com exchange under coming soon!

That is a valid point. To keep ourselves in the spotlight we should probably continue this thread until we hit some exchanges.

It's really better to stay here.

Until then we should concentrate here. These people are affecting the value the most. Later, if something happens, moving won't be a problem.

You may write alt forum (ducpay.com) in OP-post.
Most people who really can affect the value of the coin, spend time here.

Bitcointalk has recently made some moves against altcoins and I would not be surprised if this section will be removed entirely somewhere this year.

Besides that the community on forexfox.nl is much larger and they do not visit bitcointalk. And there are some people interested at cryptocointalk, thisweekscoin and many smaller communities.

Bitcointalk -- best place, i think.

I would like to ask everyone to also register at ducpay.com. This is a Bitcoin forum and there are many different Ducats communities at the moment. Hopefully we can unite them all at a single place.

About the logo, I have saved it but would like a few more suggestions before making a final choice.

Where is new logo?
Shadow_Runner drew a great version of the logo, imho.
