Re: [ANN][VRC] | VeriCoin | POS - NSDI | VeriBit | VeriSend | VeriSMS
@DEVS: The community has been asking for the FORUM button on the wallet to lead to a moderated thread. Is it possible to provide this? Thanks.
We are going to do this so that there can be a non-combative, non-vulgar link in the wallet for the average person. We do intend to keep this thread as well so that there is an unmoderated place to speak freely as well. The thing is we can't convince "Aunt Emma" to use digitalcurrency and then lead her to stumble on massive repetitive and sometimes vulgar fudding at times and is quickly turned off for good.
I may even suggest a link to a support section of the VeriTalk Forum. Perhaps call it "Support", "New to VeriCoin" or the generic "Forum" is fine to. Perhaps pull a dropdown menu up off of the forum, and give them a choice on where to go. A place where a moderator can help people in a reasonable amount of time. You have community members who have shown they are more than willing to give time to help others in the past. This small attention to detail across the board would solidify the brand and make sense to people new to virtual currencies.
What doesn't make sense to everyday people is looking at roadmaps of what vericoin is, and then looking for all the features that they expect to be out, and polished. Only to find that these big deals at the time turned out to be several rushed, premature projects that, once launched failed to meet every basic objective they set out to have. To this day they are not complete, embarrassingly so.
Good suggestion regarding forum link.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but the only thing that was released unfinished was the fiat feature. This was a misstep I agree. However VeriSMS, VeriBit, VeriSend and variable interest are done, were well tested and are used in practice.
Our current roadmap is on track and reflects the new fiat feature, as well as everything else we are working on.
This leads us to the two biggest problems in crypto. Being able to easily buy it and spend it.
VeriBit solves the spending problem mostly for within crypto usage. This is key. However getting the regular non crypto person to spend is still a challenge. Therefore we will have an optional service for spending VeriCoin with a visa card.
Regarding the cozying up with banking system argument. Let those who do not cash out their crypto into the banking system throw the first stone. This just makes that process easier.
This is how it is and we can move forward faster by utilizing it optionally.
In this context new people can say I get how to use it, now lets start earning interest. Users and demand is what we need more than anything.
Regarding the card there is not too much I can divulge until Coinsis does. However I appreciate the constructive criticisms. I will answer anything I am at liberty to. Though I do not have time to read every single forum post and still be on track with the roadmap.
[And they dropped their rocks, and split.]
VeriCoin is about ease of access/use for digital currency. To play devil's advocate, this is great for Aunt Alice, but why would she want digital currency to begin with? Unless it provides a better return on savings and investing than her fiat currency, she has no impetus to acquire digital currency. Bitcoin dose not earn interest, and Aunt Alice is not about to start a mining operation. VeriCoin is the leader in solving all these issues with: VeriBit, VeriSend, VeriCard and VeriBank. And there's more to come...
Is Aunt Alice single? I am old too and looking for a nice, rich lady.
Lets con her together, once we have her money we will find other rich old lady and get her money too. We get them to buy blackcoin, syscoin, vericoind. All kind of scam altcoins will do the job.
