:::slow clap:::

Best post I've seen on a thread on this site.

I share these sentiments: This is the greatest fucking altcoin ever made.


Onward and Upward!!

@MEGAman couldn't say it better! And yes...beautiful MurrayGirl! bholzer should include her picture in the wallet's right corner! 

It's just a matter of time...MurrayCoin will be one of the biggest crypto's!

I really believe that!

It's interesting because here we have a coin that has been around for basically 6 months now, with an active developer who is well-respected (how rare is that?), continues to be mined by more than just multipools, had a 0% premine, just released a sweet new wallet built on Bitcoin 092 (has any other coin even done that yet?) and is the only celebrity coin ever created that didn't get a C&D thrown at it. I've been around since the first week mining and I've been buying since it was listed on xnigma or whatever and I've never sold a single coin. Bill Murray's charity has retweeted @murraycoin before and this dev is a proven entrepreneur that wants to actually market this thing and make it into something unique. There will only ever be ~60,000,000 coins, this is about to switch over to Scrypt-2048 on July 4th (only coin I've seen that is going with straight 2048) and Murraycoin is trading at 250 satoshis? We just went through the smoothest hardfork I've ever seen - I wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for the icon on my wallet lighting up. It's sad to say but the simple fact that the original dev is still active and releasing updates after 6 months puts Murraycoin in rare company. Could you imagine if Bill Murray came out in support of Murraycoin? It would directly benefit his charity so he even has motivation to do it beyond just adding to his legacy. This would be the biggest thing in crypto since Doge! Also, I agree about Doge - terrible coin. Just goes to show what a large community and a lot of hype can do. bholzer needs to understand people in this market all have ADHD and 20-second attention spans. Just have to keep doing what you do and people will come around. when the Murray Brothers Foundation didn't sign the agreement to endorse Murraycoin bholzer started receiving fucking death threats from people! What the hell is wrong with people? It wasn't even like they cut ties with him they just said they needed more time to make a decision. That's the mentality we're dealing with here.

In the altcoin world, we're dealing with "investors" that don't have a clue what they are doing. I see coins almost every week with ridiculous premines (one of them had a 20% premine!) and 50,000,000 - 100,000,000 coins in circulation after a week and people are paying 10x the going rate of Murray because the coins are proof-of-stake and the "dev" who has absolutely zero credibility makes some bold claim that never materializes. Then the premines are dumped and the devs walk away. It sucks. People cannot think for themselves or research for themselves - they need to be told what to believe. bholzer's main problem is that his honest approach does not appeal to most altcoin investors. A coin is a lot more successful when you over-promise and under-deliver. It's a scammers market right now and honest coins are suffering for it. I hope that reverses soon because man this is getting out of hand.

For me Murraycoin represents the most fun I've ever had in cryptocurrency. I like that's it's about as low-risk as it gets, that I trust the dev, and that there is this 100% untapped potential that still exists if Bill Murray ever decides to just jump up and endorse this thing. Cryptocurrency is only going to go more and more mainstream and I can't think of a better way to get people interested than by having a celebrity coin. To make things even more ridiculous Murraycoin has never had any issues and is actually on the cutting edge code-wise. Imagine if the Chive got on board or something. I mean so few people in this market have any creativity. If you don't tell them what to think they think nothing.

How many other coins have stuff like this out there:

How many wallets make you smile every time you open them?



How many coins have a hot chick posting in the thread?



This is the greatest fucking altcoin ever made. I used to have so much fun chatting with all of the Murray peeps on the exchanges and posting gifs and stuff. I'm sick of this sad depressing altcoin world we're now in where it's 99% bullshit, lies, and scams. Murraycoin was fun as hell but everyone decided to bail and go lose their money by investing in the scam of the week. Look at the value of MRY over the past month compared to every other coin. It might be low but it's stable and steady which is more than I can say for pretty much anything else. I'm losing my ass holding LTC, VTC, etc and I don't even buy scamcoins. MRY has been one of my best investments. I'm not worried because I know it will be back. I believe in bholzer and I believe in Murraycoin 100%. I'm still on the gravy train.



And last but not least, one of the greatest fucking things I've ever seen:

http://gifsound.com/?gif=giant.gfycat.com/ChubbyFancyHarvestmen.gif&v=Vo_0UXRY_rY&s=30

People don't have the patience or foresight for a quality coin, its all about how much you can make right NOW!!!  unfortunately if people took the time to do due diligence, chose a coin that has more then P&D potential, most of these scam coins would be gone in a few days

Look at doge, the developer came out  (on a youtube vid) and said he initially made it as a joke,  and its inflationary (5 billion coins a year no limit, 125000 block reward).  I don't see the point, yet ppl are  still mining and buying it

oh yeah baby!!! Cryptsy low price...time to add some kMurrays to my portfolio!

Really don't understand...people prefer invest money on coins with scammers behind ...and this one with one of the few devs that we all can trust ...... well great for me and all "Murrayers"!

Just an update to let everybody know that the Windows clients/wallets have been updated with minor tweaks and improvements from our private branch; in addition to updates to the code itself, noteworthy changes to the build process include:

Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1h
Updated to Qt 5.3.0
Updated to protobuf-2.5.0
Updated to libpng-1.6.12

This update has eliminated the false-positive notice some people were experiencing with Kaspersky due to our modified node discovery method; we have also submitted the latest build, both the installer and Qt executable, to Kaspersky to be added to their whitelist.

Please update at your earliest convenience. While not mandatory, there is certainly no reason not to update:

• Murraycoin-Qt 0.9.2 Windows [installer] [updated June 26, 2014]
• Murraycoin-Qt 0.9.2 Windows [.zip] [updated June 26, 2014]
• Murraycoin-Qt 0.9.2 Windows [.7z] [updated June 26, 2014]

Speaking of early adopters, some of us may get the chance to meet Bill at some point, so be prepared for the effect such an encounter may have on you:

Thank *you*, buddy! I and other early adopters certainly stand to benefit financially from MRY's success, but in the spirit of Murraycoin, I will continue to reinvest my money/cryptocurrencies into charitable causes.

O & U! 

Jimmy:

Would you mind pulling the screenshots from the post for now? I have already saved them. Obviously I want to get this resolved right away but don't want to set off any panic when somebody is scrolling through the thread as they might get the wrong idea. You know how easily rumors get started and the last thing I want to do is spend any of my limited time defending a false-positive malware warning. Thanks for all of your effort and suggestions (as well as reporting this issue). I will get this taken care of as quickly as possible (guessing it will require me to contact Kaspersky).

Edit: Apparently you pulled the whole post  In any case... I'm on it right now.

--Edit: On the case!--

This thing needs to be rock-solid in every way before we start pushing Murraycoin the way we want to... the way we need to. If anybody has experienced issues of any sort, no matter how minor or seemingly insignificant, please PM them to me - I want every single kink ironed out (should they exist) as soon as possible and will jump on the case immediately. Things slightly out of the ordinary that we may consider irrelevant or minor inconveniences could result in serious frustration for individuals who are less tech-savvy.

There are a few minor projects just about ready to go - nothing groundbreaking, as I've said, but integral pieces to the puzzle. We have also ordered a PVC printer to create some really slick "paper" wallets. We still want to create aluminum paper wallets eventually, as I have talked about in the past, but we decided it wasn't prudent to entrust public/private key pairs to 3rd party and we looked into purchasing a CNC desktop machine to create the aluminum wallets ourselves but ultimately decided our budget was better spent elsewhere (hence the PVC printer). We still intend to put the self-service paper wallet generator online within the next couple days... we have just had a number of other priorities to take care of first. The next version of the wallet will have an option available where paper wallets can be easily imported; despite ensuring Murraycoin always remains on the cutting edge, a lot of the future enhancements to the client itself will be making things more user-friendly. Also, we will start focusing on our mobile apps in the near future - these will be key in the grass roots approach as people can download the Murraycoin app while it's fresh in their mind and even import a paper wallet if it is handed to them just by scanning in the QR Code. If we are going to tackle this new approach to marketing, we need to ensure everybody has the ability to use it and that starts with the client and more information on the website. Tutorials, videos, etc - if we can make Murraycoin the gateway to cryptocurrency we can put Murraycoin on top with or without endorsements [however, don't give up on the endorsements just yet  ]

Jimmy had some great marketing ideas this afternoon as well and I will certainly consider several of them. brianbbad is taking care of business with his grass roots approach and we need to arm him with some of these new PVC wallets hot off the press (the printer should be here Monday). Seriously - I can't thank this guy enough for all he has done for Murraycoin and this community while asking for nothing in return. As soon as we can begin to generate some excitement I know we can get this great community back together and move things forward - so many of you have come to me with rock-solid ideas over the past several months and I really appreciate that - we will execute on many of them in the coming months and I will be sure to give credit where it's due. I miss the good old days of Murraycoin - I want that back and I know you all do too. We hit a wall but we came out on the other side smarter and better prepared. The altcoin universe is an unforgiving disaster; it has become a virtual wasteland of dead coins that lacked innovation, scams, and failed attempts at greatness while leaving behind a trail of frustration and confusion in its wake. Let's give it something to be proud of. Come back to me, guys. We deserve better. Bill Murray deserves better.

Onward and upward.

Great work brianbbad

Very excited. As usual, it's still hard to get people involved with (read: put some trust in) cryptocurrency, but we're gaining allies here and there (the admin of Ghostbusters.net, for example). Really, it's all just a matter of time... I mean, who doesn't like Bill Murray?

For fellow Murraycoin enthusiasts, you may have had people ask "Is Bill involved with this?" or something along those lines. I tell them: He knows about Murraycoin and he's okay with it, but he hasn't given it an official endorsement yet.

I will be tailgating at Comic Con in July to promote MRY, and the plan is go in full Dr. Venkman or Steve Zissou regalia.  

Awesome man - you are a rockstar. I am certain this will all pay off for us as well as the Murray Bros. Foundation. I do want to apologize for not delivering the paper wallets in time for your event - we had them nearly completed but then wanted to rig up a way to redeem them via murraycoin.org for the people that wanted to download a wallet and import them. For the average person, redeeming the coins on a paper wallet would probably be a bit intimidating. Long story short, the "simple" project grew more and more complex by the minute (as things always seem to do with me - my girlfriend could tell you all about it!)

I want to build something into the next release of the wallet for sure as the physical coin distribution will be a huge part of our marketing effort - it's a great way to reach people unfamiliar with cryptocurrency but who love Bill Murray! We have a handful of people that are attending some upcoming local Reddit meetups as well (specifically to distribute the paper wallets - Murray is always a Reddit favorite). In any case, we didn't meet our deadline for you (as is often the case). Sometimes (okay, usually) this stuff just takes longer than I anticipate and for now this obviously continues to remain a side job for me. Once we can get things moving and get another injection of funding from the investors, we can put our team back together and finish what we started 5 months ago. We're close.

Some exciting things to come; in such a crowded space, we understand the impatience at times - it's frustrating for us as well! We'll get there - everything is moving forward. This fork was one of the major hurdles to get past and I'm glad it's now in the rearview. I wouldn't have attached myself to this project if I wasn't certain about it.

I want to thank everybody again for their continued support. Onward and upward.

Glad the fork was not a big forking deal.
For the curious, people can follow my promotional shenanigans on Instagram (see link in signature).
Can't wait to get my hands on some Murraycoin merch!

Welcome to the fork! As we had hoped, the transition was silky smooth. I have not received any reports of people having issues but want to address the possibility just in case. For those of you with the Qt wallet, you should see the "fork" icon in the bottom right lit up blue:



If your client is fully-synced up and that icon isn't lit up, you may be on the wrong chain. Please ensure you have the latest version of the client installed [v0.9.2] and that the nodes from the original post are added:

addnode=162.243.141.242
addnode=173.203.82.215
addnode=162.243.207.204

We have linked those three official nodes to several other official nodes hosted around the globe; they have now been instructed to reject clients on the wrong chain. As long as you have the above nodes added you should be good to go. If there are any issues you experience, please let me know right away.

On July 4th, Murraycoin will automatically switch over to Scrypt-2048 for PoW. This does not involve another fork - if you have the latest client installed, there is nothing more you need to do. I will provide more details as the date draws closer and we will also be releasing "MurrayMiner" - an official Scrypt-2048 version of cgminer. You can also use any Scrypt-N mining software (Vertminer/etc) up until 2015. MurrayMiner will be able to mine Murraycoins forever with no expiration. Keep in mind that until July 4th, the only noticeable change will be the new difficulty formula that just kicked in - Murraycoin will remain standard Scrypt PoW with the same reward structure up until July 4th. There were a number of upgrades under the hood on this release - this was a major step forward for Murraycoin.

I'd like to thank everyone for helping to make this transition a success - sometimes these forks can be bumpy. I've been reaching out to service providers to ensure they are all good to go as well. We have a ton of stuff in the pipeline for Murraycoin and we're just getting rolling again here - this fork, the issues it addresses, and the new features it brings with it will help lay the groundwork for our growth.

We're back and better than ever!

Good luck at the meetup! Can't wait to hear how it went! All the best

I have sent them a few messages; still waiting on confirmation. I will push the issue if I haven't heard anything back within 12 hours.

Well, I'm off to the Chive meetup! 
Has Cryptsy responded to messages about the hard fork / software update yet? (I saw a tweet was sent to them but I assume other modes of communication were also used, right?)

If you guys are buying MRY just do what I do and put low buy orders out there. The multipools will slowly dump to you and you get coins a lot cheaper than buying up the sell order book. 1 bitcoin could triple the price on Cryptsy. When the bholzer pump comes it's going to be MEGAepic but don't waste your money overpaying when we have extremely predictable multipools in the mix. Enjoy 3 more days of multipools before the fork hits and everything goes north without those dumps. I'm already deep into MRY and am officially tapped out of BTC for now so that's my advice - buy more for less with low buy orders. Ignore the sell book because multipools have no logic or anything - they just dump to the highest bidders. Almost every day somebody goes crazy and pays double and all it does is activate the multipools instantly and dump the price back down anyway. Enjoy cheap MRY for a few more days and don't overpay!
