Topic: Historic Cryptogenic Bullion thread - CLOSED - page 10. (Read 286606 times)
How very interesting that there is quite allot of chatter in the news about BTC's price decrease as a result of widening adoption - with businesses cashing in their customers BTC payments opposed to hoarding them. If only there was a CC that did not try to actively emulate money, but instead embraced a 'store of wealth' idiom that encouraged saving and network participation/security through PoS. 
With the right media push (and some updates this month I believe?) CGB could cash in on this big-time...

You could create a bunch of redeemable voucher codes on Crypto-Trade for 1 CGB. There are no fees involved with this method either for creating or redeeming, so people that redeem get the full value of the code credited to their CT account. The codes never expired but issuer can keep a copy of the codes they issued and redeem back to their account at later date.
Good suggestion, however, I think this would be a better promotional tool for Crypto-Trade. I think CGB would be best promoted by directing people to read the website and download the client. They are then free to move the funds to an exchange for trading should that be their decision.
Really nice looking cards FiniteByDesign!
I heard somewhere that companies who make BTC coupons/vouchers/promocards etc can have them valid for 30 days or so. If the vouchers are not redeemed, the funds are paid back to the issuer. I am not sure how this is done, but maybe a Google search could provide more help.

Sounds like it is done through a 3rd party which means overhead. I would like to keep this as cost effective as possible so others in the community can copy and diy. But I will research, please let me know if you come across any more info...
Perhaps a github should be set up for this? If anyone has some time and skill to assist, please reach out. I think this would be greatly beneficial and other coin communities could always fork and use to further promote crypto adoption.

One question:

It's called a four-in-one question
Thanks. Some great posts about CGB on the Casheer forum. Very motivating. Please come around and add some good words. We need to show strength:

Very nice, how do you make the 1 CGB expire in a month I wonder...
The only way I can think of is for the creator to keep a spreadsheet of all addresses and associated private keys to check after 30 days. This of course does not have to be done, but if say 1,000 are given out and 500 get thrown away, it would be a shame that those 500 CGB could not have been 'regifted' to people who would actually download the client and use/save the CGB. Of course this would be up to the individual or entity that prints and distributes these cards.

I think this is a bit complex for the lamen, we need a dedicated menu option to 'import private key' in the client - no messing about in Debug windows
Excellent point! Perhaps the new client can have this 'button' added in??

Please accept this card with 1 CGB attached which must be accepted (imported to your own wallet) in the next 30 days.
Why is the card only valid for 30 days?
Arbitrary number that I decided on, up for discussion. Why is the card only valid for 30 days?

Isn't it a wallet with 1 CGB attached that should always be there?
Please see earlier response above

Or are you afraid for lost funds if they do not get redeemed?
Correct!Quote
It may cause some practical issues if the cards are stored for the next promotion that happens 5 weeks later. Can it be modified to whatever people wish for?
Yes, this can be modified. Very nice, how do you make the 1 CGB expire in a month I wonder...
At this point, simply click on the ‘Help’ tab and select ‘Debug Window’ from the dropdown. In the ‘Debug Window’, select ‘Console’. Type in the below command and press enter to import the funds to your personal wallet for safekeeping.
importprivkey “12345678901234567890”

While reading this procedure, I totally agree with FiniteRed, that most people will not go through with the setup. The average person would probably quit before the blockchain has downloaded, especially on a mac... (For some reason downloading the blockchain is 100x faster on windows compared to my macs.)
I second the suggestion for a better alternative way of importing funds to your wallet. Perhaps a selection in the menus would be helpful.
Even better would be having a phone wallet and simply scanning a QR-code with a password could import the funds to a new account. I have no idea if this is feasible or not, but our dev could perhaps look into alternative ways of importing funds to ones wallet.
@FiniteByDesign
I really like these cards and professional text. Great!

Your promotion event is super, respect for your efforts.

FYI for the Cryptogenic Bullion community. Finite By Design, LLC will have a table set up at the 'Coins in the Kingdom' event at Disney World in Orlando, FL. The event is taking place October 4th-6th, 2014.
In addition to promoting f*D, we will be focusing on raising awareness of Cryptogenic Bullion. We plan to give away a physical CGB bar via raffle and are working on building some 'CGB' business cards that will be handed out and have 1 CGB attached to each. The possibility of running a new t-shirt with the new gold logo is also on the table. Would love to hear from the community on any ideas you all can propose for this event!
Back to share a little on the development of the CGB business cards that I had mentioned as a promotional tool for the Bitcoin event that I will be attending in October. My hope is to have this as a template that others can copy and use to promote CGB at local concerts, work, malls, schools, etc....
Again, the idea here is to spread the word of CGB to those who have not heard of it or Crypto-Currencies for that matter. The 'CGB business cards' that I will be giving out will have a logo on the front and on the back have text and a QR code. When the QR code is scanned, it will reveal a more detailed explanation of CGB including a link to the CGB website where one can download the client/wallet as well as instructions and a private key so they can import the attached 1 CGB.
Here is the card template so far:
The reverse of the card read as follows:
"Welcome to the digital currency revolution! Much like the Internet and email have transformed society and how we communicate, digital currencies are poised to transform the way we bank and exchange finances. You have possibly heard of Bitcoin, but you may not have heard that there are other digital currencies positioned for this paradigm shift. One such digital currency, Cryptogenic Bullion (CGB), aims to be a digital compliment to precious metals. Exhibiting the rarity of only 1 million divisible units in circulation while allowing for a maximum of 2% yearly inflation, CGB has been designed to mimic the properties of gold.
Please accept this card with 1 CGB attached which must be accepted (imported to your own wallet) in the next 30 days. Please scan the below QR code for instructions to redeem the attached funds."

To accept, simply go to the CGB website on your home computer at http://cgb.holdings. Go to the ‘Getting Started’ page and download your personal CGB wallet. Once your wallet has been downloaded, you will have to allow it to sync by downloading the blockchain (a public ledger of all the historical transactions that have occurred). After the blockchain has finished downloading, your wallet will display a green checkmark on the bottom right hand side of its display screen. At this point, simply click on the ‘Help’ tab and select ‘Debug Window’ from the dropdown. In the ‘Debug Window’, select ‘Console’.

Great find BTCat! I have taken the liberty for the community and started a CGB thread over at casheer.net! It appears to be a service that would be an enormous benefit for CGB and its community. They base their addition of new coins on public support and interest on the respective coin threads so we have our work cut out for us. Please visit, post, tweet, revisit, etc...
For the community, remember, CGB is a decentralized crypto-currency not owned by any individual or team. If you own CGB, you are as much of a 'Core Team' member as those of us volunteers listed on the website. Feel free to take the initiative and start threads and promote CGB how ever you see fit.
Exciting and amazing developments continue in the entire cryptosphere! I am confident we are on the cusp of mass adoption!

I have finished the Cryptogenic Bullion section. It will be in the book called Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" (A historical reference book). Here is the preliminary cover (a better cover is currently being worked on):
The plan is to get the book published before Christmas 2014.
Here is the Cryptogenic Bullion preview section:
