Your last sentence uis exactly what I mean, added bonusses of REAL value, to get people interested in crypto. You have to create desire, and because 0's and 1's arent sexy, we need money to draw them in

We basically need to get into a position where international users can come visit the Netherlands and be able use Guldencoin in many places, ideally and the end goal is to be able to use guldencoin to live off as a citizen and or visitor. We also need to make sure Guldencoin can be used internationally for Dutch citizens travelling abroad. So really Guldencoin will be international but with Dutch focus.

Gaw bought up as much mining equipment as possible and is selling shares of those miners as cloud mining Hashlets. You are 100% right when you say "Hashlets don't exist". Gaw even bought up Titans off the market to secure their hold on scrypt mining.

I agree.

A killer app for me would be something that makes transferring NLG between mobile devices REALLY easy, easier then scanning a QR-code. Something with NFC?

I think the betting game for the Euopean Championship was really good. The idea behind it could maybe be turned into an app; an app that facilitates these kind of betting games. People can design their own bet, the participants buy NLG at the start of the game and play, at the end the winners can change back to fiat (if they want).

Other ideas for apps must use the ease, speed and ultralow cost of transactions. How about (just brainstorming here) to elaborate on the idea of Furio: a 'fair Ponzi'? Get paid in NLG if you get someone else interested in NLG and so on. Could be run on Facebook.

Meanwhile, price does not seem to hit 400 anymore. There is buzz.

does not really matter fuse, we are doing well or people want to see it or not

Dogecoin started as a joke and to everyone's surprise it just took off.  I really don't think people could have predicted it.  My team mined it because it "for shits and giggles".  DOGE was more of a "lets prove this joke coin can get a Nascar Sponsor", or "people thought this was a joke, so how can we spend enough money to prove them wrong" coin than anything else.  The popularity of DOGE lies in the fact that DOGE shouldn't be popular.

IMO, Paycoin is a huge scam.  "We developed these new miners that make you money all the time"... aka a single desktop in a closet somewhere that stakes coins via POS and the company keeps a ledger to pay people out from.  How innovative.  There's a reason no one has seen the equipment, either hashlets or the hashstaker... they don't exist.  I'm still waiting for the Ponzi scheme news on this one.  If the popularity increases, they can keep selling their "gear" and keep the payouts flowing.  If people lose interest, give it 3-4 months before you start seeing missing returns on investment.  But GAW brought mining to the mining-illiterate... as proven by CM's ungodly pool of hashrate.  When they started converting hashlets to hashstakers... it was an easy win for the coin itself.  Paycoin isn't a popular coin because it's popular... it's popular because GAW controls mining.

Litecoin is the "second" innovation in crypto.  I'll tell you though that two years ago, people called it a shitcoin that would never go anywhere.  The BTC elitists thumbed their noses at it like the CM dopes thumb their nose at NLG.  Give it time... we'll have the recognition that LTC has one day.  It just takes time.

With the active communiry Guldencoin has, could this community be the one that designs THE killer app, which makes it easy and most of all safe to use cryptocurrency. I think in that aspect much can be learned by looking at banking apps. But in order to make it THAT easy, semi anonimity true addresses isn't possible, because for main stream non tech interested adoption, in my view,  adresses need to be registered to names, for those wanting easy to use, in stead of the crypto anonomity we are custom to.

The real challenge is in developing a system capable of evenly distibuting a fair amount of guldencoins, registering in a safe system and rewarding that, so people can add eachother to social media and really get the ball rolling. That way people can pay eachother, companies can register etc. I think something like that is needed to get non interested people in free money is free money at first

People don't see that!! that's the good thing of guldencoin

it is just $$$

I would say that they're more popular globally, there's more awareness. However, I would say NLG has a greater depth and potential depth, of marketable/tangible use, right now, particularly for the NL crowd.

There are places in NL where I can walk in and buy food with NLG, but I can't with the other coins. So, NLG is attractive from that standpoint. Make it easier to use in every-day situations via mobile devices and make it easier for merchants to use, and you'll see widespread adoption and growth.

That's basically what happened to Bitcoin.

dogecoin, paycoin, litcoin and more

Popularity is very subjective to a multitude of factors, often hype and opinion. Longevity, stability, and proportional tracking with whatever primary exchange system is being used, is a better indicator for true 'popularity'. NLG reflects these better than many coins. Others have some great points as well.

What coins are more popular in your opinion?

thats a good point fuse

Think about start with the project "More dutch people in to guldencoin" the first thing we must to do is "brainstorm"

I think mostly because it's not a global coin... so people look at it and say, "well I can't use it here".  To be clear, I'm not advocating at all for foreign use.  I think it should be used in NL, and if it spreads anywhere, it should be central to Europe.

If I hadn't been approached by WaterLooDown to start a pool, I probably wouldn't have thought about a country-specific coin.  Not that I'm against them, but to be honest, what can I do with NLG in the US?  Again, not knocking NLG's domestic focus, which I fully back, 1000000%.

So for it to really be popular here, you need more NL users in these forums banging the drum for NLG.  I know there are language specific sub-forums.  I hope people are hitting those hard to keep those users engaged.  The movement is already happening on the street, but a lot of the "hype" comes from BCT users.  IMO, we don't need hype, we need the people on the street.

Sorry if that seemed like it rambled on a bit... my brain is not working right today for some reason.  Probably lack of sleep.  I need to recharge my lasers.

why are they than so popular? all our projects go live and on some coins it is just, the most projects/promise do not go live

at that point i don't get that

somthing wrong with guldencoin?

I like to consider NLG a grass-roots movement, led by the community.  This is a very different approach from what other coins have done in the past.  That's one of the things I think this coin has done that makes it stand out as a winner in my book.  There isn't a "Take all this NLG and BTC and say our coin is great" mantra that you see out there with other alts.  There is no overhyping the coin or unfulfilled promises.  The team and the community set goals here, and they reach them.  They create projects that are worthwhile for users, and people honestly use them instead of tweeting about them and never looking at it again.

Now I supposed we could get a Nascar like DOGE, or fake shoutouts like POT, but for now I love the pace this is going.  Steady, organic growth.  Couldn't get any better

on 1 point i don't get it

why are some coins so popular and Guldencoin not ?

i get it ;-)

Ik bedoel, 10 maanden geleden was dit wellicht nog een serieuze optie geweest
