Here is my 2c ... do we want this coin to take 24 -48 hours for 1 confirmation? Having a hard fork and addressing the re-target time is wise in my opinion just so when we hit Cryptsy we can get our coins on the exchange quickly or even so we can swap send trade use quickly.... not 24 + hours...
This is a great coin but if you can't use it there will be no value in it..... just my opinion
A coin survives on trade not faith...! if nobody wants it it will not be worth anything, if people cant trade quickly people will not want it... If people cannot trade quickly hashing will go down... low hashing = slow confirm times = less hashing = even lower confirm times ......
I do not know about the rest of you but I want to be able to use trade enjoy my RPC coins and not stress over it taking a day to send someone a coin..... If we do address the re-targetting then better before we hit a big exchange like Cryptsy etc ...
Just what i think it is an opinion it does not mean I am right or wrong.....
+1
Been reading the various outlined arguments for and against a "fork".
Confirmation times slower.
The pool I am one has lost 70+% miners...(but a % of that is expected from pool hoppers at the start of any/all coins naturally).
Prices on conedup as well as buy volume seemingly going in the wrong direction (yep, it's early though gang!).
Pulling my rigs off this for the time being (hopefully very short term). Somewhat concerned this will go the way of CraftCoin (if you were there, you know what I mean).
Feel blessed to have earned 25.7 RPC and definitely will keep a close eye on its development.
Great job Colin on the Washington Examiner interview and thanks for taking your own personal time to evangalize RPC!!
all this coin had to do is survive by having dedicated devs, people mining and people holding on to their coins. It is way too soon to jump to any conclussions, i think there are like 10 000 coins mined. The "dumping" that is done , are over small amounts of coin. This logical , this happens to all new coins. The trick is to take the risk and just hold one for a langer period.
This means trust the devs, trust the miners, trust others.... It's a leap of faith. But the good thing is there are so little coins out there, you only need a few hardcore believers.
I just collect them all. I am guessing i'll hold on to them , and collect them till i got a 100. I stopped mining them with my rigs because mining other coins and converting them to RPc is a quicker method to get them. When diff is low enough i Will start mining again.
ANd there is the problem quote "I stopped mining them with my rigs because mining other coins and converting them to RPc is a quicker method to get them. When diff is low enough i Will start mining again."
jumping on low diff pumping and leaving is what multipools do and its multipools that are killing coins in my opinion... Jumping ship at high diff is causing a problem..
If there is no net hashrate because everyone bailed on mining then there will be no confirm times longer wait etc etc etc.. Sorry but we all need to understand that we need net hashrate to get our coins around the net quickly....
OP, I think we should take rpc down from coinedup and wait for a bigger exchange.
Yes this is devaluing RPC
agreed its low -- but if you take it down what about people like me investors that have bought in you throw away my bitcoin - we cannot go doing things like that just because we think ... its there now you have to support it START BUYING RPC on coindup but you cannot just dump investors in the drain because you think its worth more.... sure fire way to kill a coin!!!
If all us holders used a little of what we had and traded on coined up we could support the price as well..... lets trade
I am trading my RPC up and down supporting the coin also mining ARE YOU SUPPORTING IT are you trading mining???
i have 47.9 RPC and i will sell at 0.035 right now per coin.. If everyone thinks it is so undervalued and wants to hold RPC because of its ideology then i will get 100's of buyers at this price who want to store this coin .... But i bet not one offer will come my way in my pm's because at the end of the day people want money and will look at trade price.....
yet again this is all an opinion it does not mean it is right or wrong
