You might as well toss Mintpal on that list as well then. Both sites work in the same way, so going for two, hopefully getting on one is possible. Plus you get free votes on each one,
.I think it's a better strategy to concentrate the efforts on 1 exchange at a time and Cryptsy seems a "cheaper" choice for now.
Currently, to get the first spot on cryptsy, we would need 4 BTC
to get the first spot on Mintpal we would need over 22 BTC.
So for me the choice is clear. we should concentrate all the efforts on Cryptsy and raise the required BTC in the community

Personally I don't like Mintpal voting system, their anti-bot feature is too paranoid. They can shave off honest free votes (happened to me) or even completely remove the coin from the voting and refund paid votes..Cryptsy voting looks more reliable, I think the better strategy is to concentrate paid votes on one major exchange to get listed faster

I agree.
We just need to get our things together first, finishing the wallet is a must. Then start promoting. I think volume should rise.
Getting onto one major exchange is another important step we need to get over. It gives more credibility! We DON'T need to be on thousands of exchanges, just one major and that's ok!

I think getting on Cryptsy should be a goal. Mintpal is pretty decent as well, but Cryptsy is probably easier to get on to and has more volume as far as I'm aware. With their new addition of USD pairing, that should make it all the more sweet!
yes and if I recall a few pages back, there was a discussion about pooling together to buy the needed votes... We should definitely look into that!
I think the good plan is:
1. New wallet.
2. New nicely designed re-ann topic.
3. Get GRW added to Cryptsy voting page.
4. Buy votes.

Difficulty is going down again and there are lot of orphans.
I hope that did not happen like two days ago with blockchain block (but actually it is too late to stay up and see, as I must go to sleep)

This is one of the best coin as it is one where you can see POS in action (for all the others I try, POS event is very rare).
Wallet is already improved over the original version, however actually one wrong point is the time it is needed to starts up.
In my pc it tooks 30 minutes to open the QT Wallet using Wine (99% of other coins needs only 1 minute max to open, even with Wine).
Even into pool server it needs minutes to have the daemon ready, while the others coins take only feew seconds to start.
Actaully I'm submitting the GRW to all the trading site that as a coin submit function, hoping that at least one of them will add it.

It takes less than 20s for me to fully load the client on my system, so I'm not so sure it's a client issue (unless it's just something that contradicts WINE in some way). Can anyone else running it on Windows let us know how long it takes you to load it too?

15 mins without daemon=1 and lilsten=1.

it is right for the plan.

Guys, keep in mind that just mining the coins is going to go nowhere. What is being done to help give them some value? A billion coins with 0 value is still worthless.
We're waiting on the wallet update from soopy!
What I mean is... the coin's been around a long time now. Months. It had its downtime before, but there was never a push to market it or get it out to the masses. The coin has never had anything going for it other than being mineable. If you want it to pay off, you need to be making a community effort to get it out there.
Edit: I know that the wallet needs updated as well. But once it is, what is the marketing strategy?
what are your ideas for marketing strategies?
I think that building some awareness around PoS/PoW hybrid status and the fact that it's 100%/year return should be at front of every communication.
This coins trades at allcoin.com for about 250-400 satoshis. it can easily be 10x more without any other improvements. just awarness. I think anyone stoking up right now is making a wise decision!
Just check Hobonickels, Tek PHS. They have about 5-10x less money supply but they trade at over 100 times what GRW is trading.
People need to understand that having PoS coins in your wallet is like having X amount of Hashing power, you get bitcoins for holding on a certain amount of coins for a certain amount of time. less the hassle of maintaining some hardware.
Then, I think we can add features to the wallet to at least equal what is done with hobonickels. I remember someone suggesting to have live market data in the wallet, that is a plus IMO to see at a glance the value and capacity to generate of your account. I think this would be a nice feature!
Having some merchants and real life use of this coin would be an excellent idea... I don't have any suggestions for now.
The conversation is open, please add ideas and suggestions... remember this is a community backed "relaunch"
regarding that... I think I'm going to setup a development fund address. People could donate to that address and it would be for developping new features and marketing of the coin. It would be a GrowthCoin address. what do you guys think ?
It trades at allcoin at 200sat+ but that's because there's no volume (24h volume is only 8 mBTC). That's not good. More people need to be trading.
I completely agree that the PoS area of it is what needs to be marketed the most. It definitely has its value there. The issue is that the coin needs to be sponsored on major sites. Getting it into something like Coindesk would be extremely helpful.

Great point, I think it's a wallet issue, it's worth a shot to check out the code.
For me it's a few minutes to load so I'm pretty sure it's the same problem HBN had a while back

Maybe it could be so a problem of configuration. I use the pc wallet configuration to be as in the server, so it is like a node and a mining too (daemon, server and listen=1)
