they are sold yeah

Hanging in there. 

Still here. Still clinging to 50 million +

Too much fun to be a part of this over a little dip in the market. Some things are more important than money.

Like even more money.  

I know, a guy was selling it at the nevacoin thread, but that was a while back.

I thought there were any new developments in the meantime

always! we are finishing up a tor only, and an i2p only wallet =]

not at the moment, only nvidia, altho i believe there are amd miners for blake2s that are being sold

Any positive information of xvg?
Praying for the next great coin, good luck everyone!

Everyone is distracted... poor souls...

Hello, I am the dev of Nevacoin

I see Verge also uses blake2s for PoW.

The community is eager to see a miner for AMD gpus for this algo, any info about it here maybe? 

If it was POS I would buy like 200 mill and stake

Found out the original developer of boosted Lyra2v2 ccminer:

Nanashi Meiyo-Meijin

There is source code for the ccminer, for those who can compile from source at:

So, the credit and fame should really go to the Japanese coder.

I like that we are finally thinking of marketing!!    I agree with thedivine1 and JimmyS above.  Every little bit helps in making the tweaks!!  We need to be in front of more people in order to get this price back up.  The interest was there with the name change, but since has vanished as I believe most people didn't know it was Doged that switched to Verge, they thought it was just another new shit coin to pump, which isn't the case.  The more we get in front of people to show them the real value of what Verge is, then we will start seeing the price where it should be.  Look at Ethereum (ETH).  They had/have a huge marketing program stating their partnership with Microsoft.  That is what the people see, it pumps, and now it has a great price and has set a baseline of where it is at today.  It is and will now be the second coin and looks like it will keep that position for some time and won't be coming down anytime soon.  This is what we need and I like that we are finally staring to look into this!!

Nice work guys!!  

And the biggest gainer for today at 63% and over 54 BtC.....drum roll........
Truck Coin?
seriously? 

ill definitely rename the classes n add to the headers.. and point the other domains to the main site. we do show up when u search private cryptocurrency, and ill work on getting more results up under that as well.

Just a few thoughts regarding marketing:

In my (non-crypto) social bubble, Bitcoin is still mostly associated with buying drugs over the internet. A currency that focusses heavily on privacy (especially if terms like "Tor" show up, which is in the mainstream perception basically the internet equivalent to the gates of hell) is probably even more seen as either a means to purchase drugs or the wet dream of all-in chemtrail/lizard people/flat earth tinfoil hats/preppers. You know the type.

I think at the moment, it is close to impossible to overcome these prejudices. Therefore, it might be a more successful way to find certain audiences, for whom Verge might be an interesting solution, instead of trying to reach a broad audience.

They should be at least redirected to homepage.  Better yet, small articles (unique) about the currency and with a link to the homepage.

Divine, I'm into SEO and SEAD and believe everything you said is correct, but I wouldn't put much weight on the alexa and google ranks.  The domain was first registered a few months ago.  Dev, you might want to take the 5 mins. to register the site at dmoz.org as it does help.  Additionally, and hoping you're open to constructive criticism,  the description on the page sucks (SEO speaking) and the logo and header links are missing 'title' or 'alt' text associating it with verge.  The google robots can't know that's the Verge logo or those links are to verge spec, verge wallets, verge pools, etc.  The anchor text used for link also have no relation to verge or xvg.  It would also help if your classes were named xvg-something or verge-something.  fa fa-gears or fa fa-lock have absolutely no relevance.  It all count and helps.

THe strategy should include keyword analysis to figure what potential investors are searching for and use those words/terms in the website, advertising text, titles and any inline links.

yes i own vergecurrency.info, and .net and .org as well =]

Considering the fact that we indeed need to Scale up our efforts on the marketing front,
I decided to first run a check about vergecurrency.com website ranking in Alexa (found out that there is another website vergecurrency.info, is this a parked domain for redirection?? is it owned by the community?? if not we need to acquire it & use as a traffic redirect)

Alexa numbers are disappointing, you can view them here >> http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/vergecurrency.com
also checked for Google Page rank of the site : 0/10

The most basic thing that we can do is start creating in pointing links from high traffic & page ranked sites.
This can be done using article marketing, by including the website in high quality web directories like dmoz, yahoo etc.
We can also buy Back links from High PR sites

A majority of the traffic that lands on the site is:

direct visits - 60.82%
traffic from followed links - 23.74%
search traffic (by the keywords) - 14.33%
traffic from social media - 1.12%

these figures above are estimates & can be verified from >> http://checkpagerank.net/index.php or you can also try other Page rank checker sites

Article marketing, site inclusion in high quality web directories, an active twitter account (w/ handle) shall start showing slow but sure results.
Advertising the site on High traffic PTC websites can also start creating some traction for the currency, promoting the verge faucet is also a good idea. (can be promoted on neobux.com, clicksense.com etc)

I don't want to get over board by posting this info above, if any body from the forums have worked on this, then in that case i shall not reinvent the wheel & focus on what needs to be done to achieve the results as we want.

Just my two cents

(How can I add my own signature? & avatar/image ?? >> please guide)

i completely agree, a marketing effort is needed. no one has tried anything yet, and no solid ideas have come forward..

Yes, a concerted, organized effort is indeed necessary.  Back when, I had offered to put adverts on websites attracting 100,000 daily visitors in the political realm.  I was looking for adverts, was sent the logo and left on my own to create designs and wording. Our visitors average more than 7 pages per visit so multiple random adverts to reveal an attractive message would have been optimal.  I'm not a graphics guy and didn't really see any community interest or receive any offers for assistance.  This community is well covered and stable on the more difficult development side. The easier awareness side, achieved via a real group effort is failing. 

Additionally, I was once able to get friend interested in Verge, but he was attacked by multiple individuals for asking a question without previously reading 50 pages of the thread.  He never did get a straight answer and was turned off.  Don't know where he put the investment, but I know it was substantial.  Funny how a couple asses can ruin a good opportunity for themselves and the community with snark remarks.
