CGB Core Team Update - September 4, 2014Please also see the Reddit post for further discussion.Greetings to the CGB family! So much going on behind the scenes as well as in the community - very exciting times we are experiencing! On behalf of the CGB Core Team, I would like to make an announcement to summarize what is going on presently and give some detail to the direction that we are heading. Remember, the CGB Core Team is a group of volunteers committed to CGB because we believe in its fundamentals. CGB is only as strong as the community who rallies around it and supports its promotion and adoption, so please get involved by spreading the word, voting, posting, or wherever else you feel you can contribute to community improvement.
Updates:- Development continues and is progressing very nicely with the new CGB client ‘The Vault 2.0’. Again, ‘The Vault 2.0’ includes a redesigned GUI, Coin Control, QR codes, unlock for staking button and some other surprises. We are now beginning testing of the Coin Control features via testnet and will keep the community appraised as a more concrete release date develops. Below are a couple new teaser screenshots.
- As soon as ‘The Vault 2.0’ is released to the public, work on the next client update will continue with a tentative target release date of late 2014. ‘The Vault 2.1’ will include a hard fork as there will be adjustments to even further secure the network via achieving a more balanced PoW/PoS block generation and planned implementation of merge mining to boost the hashrate. Expect the client to continue to evolve dramatically as we have a number of exciting ‘new to the cryptosphere’ features in the pipeline to develop and implement. The team is aligned with the shared mission of adding features that are user friendly, game changing and practical as we believe innovation and simplicity of use to be critical factors in the push for mass adoption.
- To the previous point, we are always looking for interested collaborators to join the CGB Core Team and to help with the development and implementation of the growing pipeline of projects. Experienced developer positions are open as well as a ‘Lead Artist’ position to handle logo, banners, advertisements, etc. Please reach out directly should you want to apply for any of the openings through the
website or email us directly at
[email protected].
- The language on the CGB website has been edited in a manner that hopefully makes the minting of CGB via PoS easier for the less techno savvy to understand and follow – again ease of use is a priority that we will continue to address and improve as we feel this is critical to mass adoption. Suggestions are of course welcome with better clarifying this or just editing. Here is the
link to the edited ‘Get CGB’ page.
- Our friends at
Finite By Design, LLC have announced that they will be attending a
‘Bitcoin Conference’ in early October where they will parlay their promotional table to also promote Cryptogenic Bullion! It sounds as if the raffling off of a physical Cryptogenic Bullion bar made of 1 troy ounce of .999 silver will occur as well as handouts of CGB business cards containing 1 CGB each! This is extremely exciting news and we are very grateful for this collaboration! Below are screenshots of the CGB business card templates as provided by Finite By Design, LLC.
- We will once again be working with our friends over at
CryptoBiz Magazine to create a promotional video press release for CGB. More to come on this…
- We are extremely excited about a new product being developed for which CGB is in the running to be included,
CasheerApp. Please check out the project and show your support and if possible, please participate in the
CGB thread to encourage Casheer to add CGB to their platform. Their decision on which coins to support is dependent on the communities participation as shown in their forums, so please stop by and put in a good word for CGB!
- CGB is being actively voted for addition to a few exchanges at the moment so your support there is welcomed and encouraged as well.

Bter - This is the focus priority for addition

AskCoin - There are currently about 954,000 CGB in circulation with an ever so slight inflationary headwind of an absolute maximum of about 50 CGB ($3 at current value) created per day via PoW and PoS. Compare this to the inflationary profile of Bitcoin where each day 7,200 new BTC are created ($3,420,000 at current value)! This startling statistic alone evidences why we believe Cryptogenic Bullion to be a superior store of value over the long term and as attention from investors builds, the market cap will rather quickly meet and surpass the previous all time highs from November/December of 2013 when CGB was valued at over $5 each.
