Look at the picture with the big G.
Look at the name: Gold
Now think about how all the masses of people who are going to be coming along, who know little to nothing about bitcoin, might be thinking, when they see the Goldcoin.
Yes, the name is very important. So is the pic of the coin.
I think I already said that I am not all that acquainted with all the technical of the various coins.
I downloaded gldcoin qt exe and no viruses were detected. Whereas I did detect viruses on one of the other alt-coins earlier that same day. I am not going to mention which alt-coin it was, but it is a coin that is on an exchange already. I do not think 'being on an exchange' is a proper measure of a coins worth, all on its own.
I chose to invest into GLDcoin instead of the ones on the exchanges, because the alt-coins on the exchanges are priced higher already, whereas GLDcoin is way down in price in comparison.
I saw the name GLDcoin and knew immediately I had to look at this.
That impressed me, that no viruses were detected when I downloaded gldcoin qt exe
The client works fine for transactions so far. Only thing is, some kind of large blocks that are causing the client to try and synch with the large blocks, but I just close the client, and open it again, and the large blocks are gone; and others in the GLD community are working on that, as has been mentioned on the forums. Likely any of these coins have ongoing work that needs to be done.
The GLDcoin community was kind and donated me some coins to get started, and as I looked into GLDcoin more, I decided I was going to put all my bitcoins into it, to buy as many GLD as I could.
They likely won't be doing that forever, but just because it is so early yet, I think, to get people interested in GLD.
Most the coins are being followed by people based on faith, and not works.
You are asking me about the technical works of the GLDcoin, about which I don't know much about; but rather, I am mainly supporting GLDcoin based on faith.
Yes, I like the name, and I like the pic. They treated me good and gave me some coins at first. I saw they had their own forum site, so that showed they were doing work to increase.
By faith. Not works. I don't know much about the technical side of the coin, but the client works for sending and receiving gldcoins, if that is what you mean.
