Topic: Should Goldcoin (GLD) be added to the scam/sh*tcoin list? (Read 3776 times)

GLDTalk.org is a "pro-goldcoin" forum.

So basically, anything that is beneficial and helpful to the growth and betterment of Goldcoin is not only allowed and encouraged, it's essential to the development of the currency. This includes constructive criticism.

However, there is a tendency for longtime users of BCT and others to arrive and mistakenly take this as a no-holds-barred free speech type platform. And then there are the trolls that arrive on TOR networks playing various games intent on distraction, disruption, and inciting drama.

If I do my job correctly, most of these problems are handled quickly and pass by unnoticed by the general community. Before banning a user I take into consideration his age, network of origin, history, and other factors. But post moderation and disciplinary actions are not exact sciences and occasionally a community member can fall victim to collateral damage.

If you feel you were unfairly blocked or banned (there are only 8 total and some of those are multi regs) please send me a PM.


It really doesn't matter how many accounts this guy/girl opens. It's actually having zero impact on the coin's success.

It is sad, this coin had potential. it sucks 1 guy (with multiple accounts) is destroying it.

I was banned from the gld forum because I posted marketcap data where GLD get down. Admin wrote me that I posted false data and called me liar. I just copied that data from coinmarketcap.

Those people are fanatics, and Microguy can go drink his nipple nectar...what a wierdo

This is one of the reasons why it should be listed in the scamcoin list. Feels like Anarchy.

microguy bans me from his forum for exposing the people scaming gldcoin....lol

microguy you seriously have no idea who your friends or foe are, if I had a dollar for every PM I have from those close to you wanting to overthrow you're overly controlling leadership.....well   

Yeah.. that is.. if they exist for much longer  

Anoncoin's idea is neat on paper, but it also makes tracing transactions through the blockchain impossible..

so if there is ever a double spend on ANC.. even the developers won't know and won't be able to fix it.  

Our 51% defense is unique, and cutting edge. No one before has successfully attempted to throttle the blockchain like we have.

The issue at hand is that our difficulty code didn't mesh well with our 51% defense, and as a result our difficulty is continuing to drop. This makes it easy for the coin to fork itself, which means that recently mined coins are easily lost.

The new update(ETA ~4 hours) addresses this issue as well as the mining delay issue.

We are confident that in the end we will end up outperforming every altcoin.
We're in it for the long game and don't need to rely on spamming our users with marketing jargon trying to make us look better than we really are.

If the other altcoins feel that brainwashing their users with fancy whitepapers consisting of half baked ideas that can easily prove to be deadly mistakes in the future is a good idea...

That's great for them..  but we don't lie to our user base.

There is a problem, we're on it, expect an update soon. Thank you for sticking with GoldCoin (GLD).

Both developers have been working all day on the patch. My understanding is that it will correct the falling difficulty and stabilize mining operations.

We should be able to provide an in-depth explanation within a few hours.

Any details on what exactly the patch will do/fix?

I've had a rough day today. Made a few mistakes. Sorry about this whole mess.

The developers have just informed me that the new patch is now being tested.  

This is true, I just read the apology. Thank you for that MicroGuy. I was baffled as to why my first post was deleted. There was also a second that was deleted.

I do understand how some comments are irrelevant blatant spam and should be deleted. But I do not agree with "purging" threads of any posts that are contributed by BitcoinTalk members voicing their opinions and experiences, even if deemed "repetitive."

You were moderated because as you know you kept spamming the forum with your website advertising after being warned over and over again. I've already sent a PM to the OP of this thread apologizing because his post was pruned.

Sounds like the "accidental" purge of user posts happens in any thread controlled by the GLD team ay?  I created this thread to get the truth out without any censorship of whats really going on with GLD. Censorship goes against everything we have achieved thus far on Bitcointalk.

That really sucks. It looks like many people are having issues with coins disappearing. 3/4 of the coins I mined have disappeared. The chain has been forked.

that is old news

Well i never mined goldcoins at one time i had over 70k goldcoin i bought from crytsy wich i bought because of the name im a precious metal guy, unfortunatelly someone hacked my walett and all went to dust i got bought some back but i still belive gld wil be big, remember the chinese are buying all the crypto that can with theyr CNY, and if you dont know china is the biggest gold horder in the world, when they know about this coin you will see the price explode, that im sure!
In the meanwhile if you want to show some love and spread the wealth here is my adress,

Thanks!

Let's be honest. Goldcoin (GLD) has more psychological potential of becoming a mainstream currency than any other alt coin. I don't see my grandmother going to the store and paying for something with her BBQCoin or her HoboNickels or even her Feathercoin (I like that one).

I could however see her going to town with her "GoldCoin" or as she would refer to it, her "virtual gold." The concept can be related to the average Joe so much easier than "ZetaCoin" or "PhoenixCoin" etc...

For GLD to succeed it needs to be launched correctly. If MicroGuy was indeed screwed out of 500k GLD, then there are 8 million GLD in the hands of 1,2 maybe 3 people who launched it. The coin will never get far that way. To many miners know how the system works now and wont trust it.

I like the idea of all the GoldCoin not being mined completely for a 100 years and there being some sort of 51% prevention. My biggest fear with BTC is as more miners are forced from BTC mining the network will become more centralized as ASIC companies take over. I think BTC will eventually be surpassed by a non ASIC coin for this very reason.

If GLD were to be the first Alt coin to be "re-launched" with a different initial payout that was to be dispersed between hundreds if not thousands of miners from zero hour onward at a small rate over the next 100 years a very strong initial community would form around it. This could propel GLD to the top 3 in a matter of months. The literal, virtual "Gold Rush" would be on. It would be easy to gather attention and support for a wide spread re-launch. GLD as a scrypt coin could overtake BTC since most people understand the potential of a virtual "gold" to exist.

If the analogy of actual Gold is to be applied to GoldCoin, 10,000 GLD every 2 minutes is not the way to re-launch. More like 200, with 500 initial miners at a higher difficulty.

No Marin, I'm not mistaken.

You must have me mistaken with someone. Similar aliases?

Hmmmm....maybe one day you'll repay all the donation money you stole from the community? How much is that worth now?

All this can be set up. Inputs.io anyone?  
I'm not saying that it was, don't get me wrong.
