The problem with this coin is there is no discussion about branching outside of Netherlands. There is a huge market in the U.S. but it seems like nothing is being done to branch out. Gulden has potential, but it just doesn't have people with a marketing background advertising how great it is. You can't rely on people in the Gulden community with no marketing skills to create any successful marketing campaigns.
I was comparing the gulden website to other coins with a higher market value and it was easy to see the difference. Other coins make it easy to see what their coin does well, it shows merchants that accept their coin and tons of videos explaining why the coin is unique. The Gulden website has zero videos, and not a real clear explanation on the features of the coin. You go to the developers link in the gulden website it does explain more details. When someone sees developers they are going to think that link is for people who want to develop programs for the coin not where to get general information. Why is the Gulden website so poorly designed. Where is the explanation on witnessing and how Gulden is safer than any other coin against an attack? How the Gulden blockchain is faster than Bitcoin blockchain with transactions? There are a lot of good things to mention about this coin but the website doesn't really convey that message.
Sorry for being negative but it's coming from frustration on expecting good things to happen with Gulden and that expectation is wrong. I hope behind the scenes there are plans to try and get mass adoption of this coin. If not this coin will never realize it's potential.
Maybe it helps you and others. Gulden.com BV is working on a new website with a lot more user orientated content. But you can always start your own website. Like guldenzakelijk.nl did. I think it shows very nicely the opportunities for merchants using Gulden.
Amen @ fallen0987
Very good points and i think a lot of people think like that and agree with you
@Jean Luc - Nobody is going to make a new website anymore with these prices and why make a website without the developers and the founder ? Rijk has 60 Million Gulden so every eurocent it goes up means 600.000 euro for him so that should be a good incentive to make a good website because in the end he would profit the most of it. Very strange that it is not there allrdy ....
