I'm new to CGB but I have accumulated almost 2K+ coins already.  I would just like to tell you what a great job you are doing. 
Actually, CGB has amazing trading volume on Cryptsy for having only 1mm coins issued.  I don't worry too much about price.  In the long run, it's going to be about the product that CGB will develop in to.  From what I'm reading, it's on the right path. 

For the poster that bought at $3 and is disappointed, it's very likely you bought at a time when every coin had already been pumped, including BTC.  Every alt coin got pumped and is now much lower, so it wouldn't make a difference which coin you bought at that time.

Thanks, bud.

I agree that at this point, spending money on adwords isn't worth the cost.  It's time to focus efforts and energy on developing new functionality that will drive CGB's market cap beyond the flavor of the week fad coins.  The network effect is a strong force, but at some point the fundamentals will catch up to the pumped up altcoins that offer nothing unique. 

I am a long term believer in CGB and will continue to add to my position at these rock bottom prices.  Once we see some positive results surrounding madesparq, I expect to see a move up.

Keep your chin up Merc and stay the course.  Good luck to all!

Gorgeous!  Looking forward to the release!

Marketing is ongoing with Facebook clicks and Google Adwords at about $500/month out of my pocket.

It was effective at first and CB was a top ten coin for awhile but has fallen out of favor for the most recent fad of animal coins and planet coins (lol).

Given the obvious fickleness of the crowd and network effect, I doubt marketing will have any resounding effect at this point.  Only development results and the expectation of a growing network effect and ecosystem.

I have decided to spend less time on the forums recently because I'd rather spend my time researching/developing.  Plus, I admit I'm a bit annoyed/disillusioned of how nonsense scrypt coins based on animals/planets/whatever catch fire and are instantly added to exchanges like Vircurex...it's 'funny' for lack of a better term.

And greed is infecting all kinds of projects now, like Zerocoin, which the heads of the project announced they will release their own coin with zerocoin anonymity built in from the start.  And the head developer said something like "If people will put their money into DogeCoins then they'll put their money into anything..."

But CB is a community project like any other crypto currency.  And everyone's contribution will add to the CB network effect and ecosystem.  And regardless of being named after animals or planets or whatever, if the network effect is there then there is value.  So I can belittle this whole DogeCoin nonsense all I want but the fact is that its network is fucking huge already.

Like I said on my Twitter feed, all I can do is just keep grinding along and eventually things will sort themselves out.

I think alot about minting has been answered above. You can mint without typing into the wallet though. To do this, you can set up a batch file, and place it in the folder containing cryptogenicbulliond.exe in the Program Files \ CGB \ daemon folder. Save a file as a .bat file using Notepad++ and name it something like mint.bat and place it in the same folder as cryptogenicbulliond.exe. This batch file is set to clear the clipboard afterwards. Place this text in the batch file:

@echo off
@echo Enter CGB password...
SET /P variable=Password :
cryptogenicbulliond walletpassphrase %variable% 9999999 true
echo off | clip
@echo Clipboard cleared
pause

[/quote]

if the concern is a keylogger, this still makes you type in the password so no difference.  You might be better to hardcode the password because a keylogger wouldn't catch it, though if someone had access to the file the password would be in plain sight.

My favorite thing: Proof of Work/Proof of Stake Hybrid

Thanks!

Many coins are depressed at this time. Even bitcoin which is gaining popularity and acceptance daily is down more than 30% from its high. Litecoin down 60%, etc. the dev team is working hard every day to secure the CGB blockchain, work on development and grow the community. Hang in there buddy, 2014 will be the year of the BULLion!

not happy about cgb i bought at $3 lost a lot of money, how come value is so low where is the corporate marketing campaign ?  u have to move fast

All sent btw!

We continue to send communications but nothing definitive that I have heard. We also continue to reach out to other exchanges. The community can definitely help by submitting requests to their choice exchanges.

Also we are working on growing the community so any social media support is welcomed. Some coins have numerous twitter accounts posting coin specific things, news, price, etc. CB has one that I run but others would certainly help to spread the word of CB.

CGB stands out for those in the know as an alternative to the clone war/max-minting crypto-currencies as it is a scarce - storage of wealth - interest bearing crypto-commodity. CGB is one of a kind in a watered down landscape. Lets continue to spread the word and bring as many people along for the ride as possible!

Has there been progress on getting CGB on other exchanges such as BTC-e or Vircurex?

Thanks, reading now.... Will reply here, with questions almost certainly.

My favorite thing i like is flat out the design.

Favorite thing?   This coin is giving us small time miners something to mine for, it's viable to devote all my khash!    Here's to 2014!

Hi,
 So I finally got around to doing the stake minting, but it failed to accept my passphase which was verified as the correct phrase. I followed the prior instructions, again, and again. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Then last week I noticed I was using the prior Qt wallet, not the newest one.

1. Was that the problem possibly - the Qt wallet was not the newest one???

2. Or was I just not doing something correctly instead??? 

I am a bit baffled.

3. Lastly, can we simply not stake mint for several months or longer, and still get our stakes eventually, and
    will they be just as large as the "every 90 days" stake minting percentage returns??? Or More??? Or less???

4.  Or is the every 90 days minting the most Optimum point to get maximized returns???

     I ask this because of course it was pointed out that every 30 days is less than optimum, so I can only
    wonder if I did minting only once a year it would also be less than Optimum??? Or Not???

SO:
===

  The instructions for stake minting given were easy enough for myself to follow, yet slightly confusing as to exactly what to precisely input.

 I tried all the various possibilities given the instructions laid out, to get the client to accept my password and other data needing to be imputed, all to get the stake minting engaged, as instructed here prior, but the input typed always rejected my pass-phrase, even though I verified my pass-phrase was absolutely correct.

 So I am Still baffled, but haven't yet tried it with the newest Qt wallet client so again, so maybe that was the issue???

-------------------------
Please reply & advise!
-------------------------

 Maybe clarifying those prior instructions again here below, with an exact example phrase to type into the Qt Client would greatly help not only myself, but others too. Surely if I am having troubles so to will others, because many of us are not so bright as to figure these technical things like this ourselves, sad, but true, lol.

Please Note:
--------------
 Lastly, I didn't care at all for the plain text passphrase sitting there in the client after it was typed. Maybe something can be done to blank out or ****************** out the passphrase while typed, so that at least no screenshot Trojans could possibly grab that text when typed, or while sitting there in plain text.

 Still, that doesn't solve the key-logger Trojans issue, and why I dedicate a laptop solely for only my Wallet-Qt clients, and absolutely nothing else but supporting those Qt Wallets. That PC is used for absolutely nothing else at all. 

 Also seriously consider testing any new Qt-wallets from lesser known Crypto's in a Virtual Machine. Consider
the easy to use https://www.virtualbox.org/ there for the taking.

 Lastly: It only takes one malicious Qt from any crypto type to ruin one's portfolio. Beware. So far most of us have been lucky. That might not last.

 I have been burned last summer by a Mega download of another Alt. coin Qt wallet Client, and right then gotten a severe infection at the same point in time which just as soon as downloaded also fully disabled password protected Kaspersy Internet Security of all things!!!

 Lucky for me that was on my mining rig which I also never used for anything but mining until that fateful moment way back last summer. It was a bit lucky and strange how it happened on a PC that didn't matter if it was harmed.

 A time consuming full hard drive wipe, and saved backup image got me back up relatively quickly, if not painlessly, but still it was something to learn from!  Simply put I will NEVER use Mega download site ever again. Their policies stink (forcing crap onto our PC's that we know nothing about merely to utilize them. That crap doesn't occur on https google drive, at all, not ever. I don't care for google per say either, but at least their not injecting my PC's with any code, much less malicious code, or worse.

 So for everyone's security: Be safe, and segregate your Wallets by dedicating a PC to them if at all possible, and don't use that PC for anything else what so ever, if at all possible, and without exception.

 Also seriously consider getting/setting up an ALWAYS OFFLINE PC for your btc signing offline.


 I also request the same ability for CGB too (Offline wallet sig signing), so that we can sign our transactions OFFLINE, and then transfer them to an Online PC wallet client by way of a flash drive transfer, so that there is hardly any chance of losing cgb coins to any trojan wallet viruses. Something such as or like Amory would be a fantastic addition for CGB.

 Sadly I am not a developer or I would help out there. Still, to get thought of as a most serious investment by many we need to get something either like Amory and Trazer hardware wallet for CGB, asap. And they both need to be made to be dummy proof, redundant, and quick, and needless to say extremely secure.

 This is a race to the marketplace in 2014. We're all burning daylight. This is a real race, like it or not, and it's winners take all, or so it suddenly seems.

 The first ones into the mainstream marketplace are likely going to be the ones to take the lions share of the marketplace. It just usually (but not always) works out that way.

And others that come later tend to need to offer much more to get much headway, and otherwise their simply hardly ever widely adopted.

 So far it's merely Bitcoin taking the mainstream marketplace by storm.

 The next few or more Crypto types may also get widely accepted too, but nothing is assured, and we all have to earn CGB's way into the mainstream marketplace.

 After those first into the marketplace it's anyone's guess if any more, or how many more, might be able to work their way into the marketplace. 2014 is all about Marketing.

 From here out it's how well this is packaged, and how well it's pushed and forced into the mainstream.

 I will do what I can myself, and I will always support CGB, and around 15 other crypto's including Bitcoin.

 But I am not certain if there is room for 16 Crypto's in the global marketplace.

 It's anyone's guess how many dozens will be acceptable to the masses.

 And after all, it's up to them, not any of us, who and what gets accepted. I wildly guess 16 will be accepted.


 As for my questions above: Thanks for the help, ahead of time.

Best Regards,
