Isnt a surname of Indian people. Nxt thing ppl with come out with ChoudharyCoin, SharmaCoin. I betcha u have a surname by the Gupta.  Cheesy

Edit - About the SMS verification, how do you intend to do it. Do ppl need to submit their numbers?

When there can be Trump coin, why not Guptacoin. I like Modi coin too lol

Will this coin be used only on Indian shopping websites/markets?

Well, we didn't chose Gupta because it is a surname. Gupta is a well known surname in India because it has a history: http://www.coin-competition.eu/history/the-golden-age-of-indian-coinage-the-gupta-coins/

And yes, we focus 100% on Indian market. Of course there will be international opportunities later as markets don't know borders.

There are some excellent ideas here.

First, a coin dedicated to the Indian market is a huge opportunity.  I don't know enough about different cryptos to know if there are other coins targeting India (I'd be surprised if there aren't already people trying this) but India's bureaucracy is heavy.  This may be an area ripe for the kind of decentralization cryptos bring.

True, India has a masive potential to adopt crypto currency. There have been some attempts to start a coin for India, but all failed in getting approval to be tradable against existing currency. We are going about this differently. We airdrop tokens that people can chose to use as currency. We are not selling them. That's also why we incentivize people setting up their own nodes, so we can build a strong and decentralized network as infrastructure.

Second, airdroping via SMS is a great idea.  There are actually a lot of charities that seek to bring mobile technology (e.g. via mesh networks) to poor and rural areas of India, because many consider mobile technology to be the key to unlocking the potential of these areas, especially when telecom is already huge in urban India.  Any opportunity to interface with the coin via SMS will make it accessible to Indians and tie it to the existing projects that want to use phones to empower rural India.

You are right again here. India has a great need for accessible currency and the best way to do this is by mobile phones (over 90% penetration).

Any idea when you might be providing more detail?  Are we talking days?  Weeks?

Well, we have been busy last week with many things, but you can expect way more in-depth information within weeks.

Well, there is a reason why Gupta is a surname in India. It has a long rooted history in our country. Here is a good article about it and we think it explains perfectly well why we chose this name: http://www.coin-competition.eu/history/the-golden-age-of-indian-coinage-the-gupta-coins/

Yes, we are in the process of setting up a SMS verification server with one of the largest telco's in India for this purpose. The penetration grade of smartphones in India is huge compared to other countries, so is the need and awareness of alternative currencies.

Also 'Gupta' is worst name. Take a look what Guptas did to South Africans. http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/observations/2017/07/gupta-scandal-how-british-pr-firm-came-unstuck-south-africa

Gupta scammed entire nation of South Africa. Do not trust Gupta.

This. Guptas are shiites.

dev are you open bounty?

No party for other part of the world if you browsed few posts above than you will see distribution plan via sms verification only for Indian people. You have to mine it or buy from exchange after airdrop round will get finished.

I think announcements with just a picture and a "more coming soon" isn't that good. Why not just wait until you have the whitepaper and everything ready and the, bam! All at once?

Stupid coin with stupid goal. Crypto currencies were meant to bring people together.

I hope your shit coin fails.

I Hope your lack of interest beside Ethereum News dies. India in many parts of the country is suffering from the lack of pressed fiat currency. The size of the country in terms of money management is nowhere compared to any country. I am an European, maybe since my country has close ties for centuries with India we get more news but still. It wouldn't hurt to google it first.

Some people in India just don't have access to fiat currency, in the means that would be necessary. If you add that to the fact that some people don't have access to a decent banking system, or at least functional one like in the west. The distribution is flawled.

I want to know more on how they think this should work, understand how they might create value for the coin (as it will be distributed) and get people either mining it or be used as node. And how they plan to work around the 1 person = x Gupta, then if one person dies = y, one person is born = z.

If this options are not implemented, the whole point behind the set number of coins per person is useless.

What is the concept of the project you are offering? Can you explain it in more detail? If your project is really interesting then i might consider it to invest in ICO you will do.

In a quick nutshell (from the white paper we are finishing up now):

Guptacoin is setup to be the first and foremost cryptocurrency dedicated to the Indian market. The goal is to enable the people of India to use Guptacoin as a token of value that is no longer controlled by a central entity.

We plan to airdrop 250 – 1,000 Guptacoins (GPT) to each citizen of India by means of SMS verification. 65% (1,300,000,000 GPT) of all coins are reserved for this.

Apart from the reserved airdrop coins we have 25% (500,000,000 GPT) reserved for the miners. The coin will be based upon 3 algorithms that are all ASIC resistant and thus environmentally friendly. The total mining time is set to 31,7 years. After that we expect the network to run on fees.

We also want to encourage people to become part of the decentralized network by setting up their own nodes for as little as $15. The more nodes we have to run the network, the more secure, stable and fast transactions take place. We want to setup a reward program to those who run nodes by offering 25 GPT per month (or the rational equality of the actual uptime). For this we have reserved 7% (140.000.000 GPT).

The remaining 3% (60,000,000 GPT) is reserved for development costs and incentives.

Technical specs:

Coin name   : Guptacoin
Ticker identifier : GPT
Coin sign :   G
Total supply : 2,000,000,000 GPT
Premine :   75% (1,500,000,000) Total
                     
65% (1,300,000,000) Reserved airdrop
7% (140,000,000) Reserved Nodes
3% (60,000,000) Reserved development

Mining algorithms :

Qubit (CPU/GPU only)
Skein (CPU/GPU only)
Groestl (CPU/GPU only)

Block times : 20 sec
Block reward : 10 GPT
Estimated time to last block reward : 31,7 years


There are some excellent ideas here.

First, a coin dedicated to the Indian market is a huge opportunity.  I don't know enough about different cryptos to know if there are other coins targeting India (I'd be surprised if there aren't already people trying this) but India's bureaucracy is heavy.  This may be an area ripe for the kind of decentralization cryptos bring.

Third, I'm a fan of ASIC resistance in general, though that's a person preference.

Any idea when you might be providing more detail?  Are we talking days?  Weeks?

The first indian crypto project in my memory. I like the goal of this project, it's seems very pure and noble.
So 75% premine is meaning airdrop for indian people and rest 25 is minable?
Also glad to hear that is asic-resistant algo, damn asics is an evil of earth Wink

When the launch will be , main question?
