Sadly, I feel this is only the result of the creators of VOX buying back at a fraction of the price they sold for, so they can move the price back up and dump on us all over again. Do not mistake this reality as a moment of pessimism. I have hope that we will see a day when the wealthy no longer take advantage of the less fortunate. However, that day has not yet come, and greed runs rampant in crypto. It is particularily evident with VOX. It is what it is...

Good luck,

Sprouts to 1 sat like Strong Hands, sadly. No one took the initiative. I tried to help, but in the end, greed took over. Just like Gox, Cryptsy, Vox, hell... way too many examples to list. The greedy take what they can when they can. The vast majority of people who are into Crypty are here to try and make money, and it's a zero sum game. If a few profit greatly, the majority lose. That's fine and all if you're smart and play it right, but it's the scammers that get to me and there are far too many of them in this game.

Binary Guy out!

They are all greedy thieving bastards! As sad as it is to admit, that includes you too Jim! I'm done with alts, and so are alot of people now. It's shit like this that makes me realize crypto is a waste of my time and money. I still have a few BTC I will hold for hope of it one day reaching $5,000, but I am done with alts, as MANY now are. There is too much greed that brings it down.

Even those who once believed in crypto for what it was and could be have been taken down by greed. It's pathetic.

IM OUT...

As far as Sprouts extreme goes, it will not be replacing Sprouts. It will have its 15 minutes and then will be at 1 sat again in no time. Maybe it will temporarily take some love away from Sprouts ( by those who don't know better, or the ultra greedy), but it will come back to Sprouts in the end.

Sprouts has tons of potential for a serious come back here. Someone just bought over 80 million. That tells me to get ready for something big. I might have to add to my stack

Yet another nail in the coffin for crypto as a whole. The greedy bastards in the crypto community seem to outweigh the true innovators and believers by more than 10 to 1. This is why Cryptos as decentralized currency will all eventually fail. Block chain tech is great, but vultures in the crypto community suck the life out of all that is good or potentially good. I have lost my trust in the crypto community as a whole, which is sad since I was one of the more optimistic and faithful investors. I even got more than 20 friends and family members to buy bitcoin and various alts, but now, with VOX in particular, it's tough to face them. I told them about this guy named Jim who is trustworthy and wouldn't let me down. Atleast that's what I thought... Only way my trust could be restored is if someone put their money where his mouth is and at least offered to buy back the coins at the price I paid for them. That would go a long way in restoring my faith and trust in crypto, but that would never happen.

Again, the greed is sucking the life out of Crypto, and all that is good. It's just sad.

You ask for their plans? It seem apparent to me that their plans are to take the money and run, while maintaining a facade to keep the buyers coming.

I understand wanting to make money on something you've put time into, but this is ridiculous. This is basically a 100% premined coin with a total supply of 200 million. Only 31.5 Million were sold to private early investors and to crowdsale buyers, leaving 168.5 Million to be dumped on us by the creators of VOX, including the dev team (Jim Blasko et al.), Halsey Minor, and whoever else involved in this. Looking at the facts alone, VOX was seemingly created with the ultimate goal of making its creators rich at the expense of those who were deceived by their marketing. I applaud you Jim, you did it!



01001101

Painful for he VOX team? LMAO, they've made so much money from us it's ridiculous. Sadly, that's all they care about. They don't care about whether or not it functions as a currency. It's no different than all those coins intended to "help" countries or people in need of financial reconstruction (i.e. Aurora coin and the plethora of others that followed it). Lets see some action here, prove me wrong!


01001101

No one ever accused VOX creators of stupidity or officially making statements they wouldn't live up to. Instead, rumors were spread through certain people making statements that started, "I shouldn't be telling you this, but...". I'm getting tired of being scammed with crypto currency. It's a shady world that's no different than that of the centralized world of currency. The rich get richer while the poor get taken advantage of with illusions and false hope. Sad, but true...

As long as these scenarios continue, and as long as greed takes precedence over a true desire to make crypto currency viable as its "intended" purpose, it will continue to fail miserably. Prove to me this isn't the case Jim. Do you care more about making money off of us or do you care more about crypto, specifically VOX?


01001101

They only thing the devs seem serious about is dumping on those of us who bought into the hype. It's a good idea with a lot of potential, but the level of greed is astounding. Those who bought at .0015, like me, are not the ones selling it down this cheap. It's the creators of it who are dumping on us and keeping the price down. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If the devs truly cared about this coin and believed in it, I don't feel they would be dumping it so hard. I had a very positive outlook toward VOX at first, but not anymore. The lies are what hurt the worst. You know who you are and you know what I mean... What goes around comes around.

Good luck!

Wrong, 1BTC staked monthly at 40% will yield 56.6BTC in exactly 1 year if you do not sell any of the stakes. You were not considering the compounding interest.

I made about 15 BTC in 3 months from Tek a while back. I bought around 1.2 BTC worth at around 1,000 sat, and staked for 3 months. Meanwhile, the price went up to over 5,000 sat and I couldn't resist taking my profit. True story.
 
Tek literally saved my trading career after I took huge losses from Litecoin and Bitcoin in early 2014. Tek has been around for a while and we should see a big rise in price soon. The dev has plans for it and is very active. With prices as cheap as they've ever been, NOW is the time to stock up and stake up!

The amount of Sprouts that were on Cryptsy doesn't matter because it was one of the 60 or so alts they allowed ppl to withdraw it after they stopped all trading. The point I was making about the cryptsy scandal is that it nearly bankrupted some people who had a lot of Bitcoin, Ripple, and other valuable assets and a lot of people with big losses just got out of the game entirely after that. I for one have nearly stopped trading since then and I didn't lose nearly as much as some. Even before Cryptsy stopped trading, people in the know we're liquidating their assets and getting it out-probably friends of Big Vern.
For now, I just stake and save, with a giveaway here and there to friends or on cryptopia to spread the joy of sprouts. I feel that Sprouts still has quite a bit of potential, as does Tekcoin. Im also staking Turbo and StrongHands, but I have less hope for those two, lol.

The coin supply for Sprouts is not out of control yet, it's still just fine, however, it's rising a little faster than is probably good for it. A reduction in staking yield would be very helpful for price. I'd personally like to see it reduced to somewhere around 80-100% APR at the most. Something like 0.25% per day would be good. 2% per day was fine at first, but it's not sustainable long term. I do realize that DOGE has over 103 Billion coins, and that sprouts could easily go to 200 sat even with 3 times its current coin supply, but it's the rate at which it's rising that will keep the price from going to the moon. That's my though of the matter anyway.

With that said, Sprouts will eventually go up in a big way, and it won't be too long from now!

If you want to cast blame for prices being the way they are, look no further than the Cryptsy scandal. Taking that much money out of the trading game was brutal for many of the alts. Many people gave up altogether after that. It's pathetic how the greedy few think it's ok to steal money that others have worked so hard for.

Those who are selling now are making a mistake as I see it, but ppl will do what they will. Once the lower rate of staking kicks in, price will soar, and those who saved will be glad they did!

One more thing. Updating to the new wallet will NOT in any way mess with your staking. Your coin age or days staking will remain the same.

With that said, I'm already liking this update very much!

Thank you!!!

I posted this a while back, but the info is helpful also to those who are less technically knowledgeable. If you want to upgrade your wallet, just download the new one and use it. Simple as that. However, it is ALWAYS good to make a backup of your wallet.dat file and store it on a separate hard drive, flash drive, email works, but preferably somewhere safe and secure. Here are instructions that will help you access the file to backup and also redownload the blockchain if you wish.

For those who are still having issues, all you need to do is redownload the blockchain by doing the following 3 steps:

    * Specific instructions are for Windows users, but these are the basic steps for everyone

1. Make a backup copy of your Tekcoin wallet.dat file in your Tekcoin folder (located at: C:\Users\[your admin user name]\AppData\Roaming). You should always have atleast one recent backup anyway. If not, do it now and store it in a separate folder or drive.
     * AppData folder is hidden by default. In this case; open "Folder and Search Options" in the Organize tab (in folder view), then select the "view" tab and select "show hidden folders, files, and drives" under "show hidden files and folders". You will no be able to see and access the AppData folder.

2. Delete everything in your Tekcoin folder. This will erase the blockchain data and allow the Tekcoin wallet to download a new blockchain upon your next startup of the Tekcoin wallet. You should also download the new wallet at this time from tekcoin.org if you have not yet done so.
    * Here is a direct link to the download page: http://tekcoin.org/?page_id=26

3. To significantly speed up the download (syncing your wallet), download the bootstrap and put the unzipped files directly into your tekcoin wallet before downloading the fresh blockchain.
    * Here is a direct link to the bootstrap: https://mega.nz/#!DoIS2SbR!mNd1rsrXTYP183QDuqP9vnfqBOn7HCfUrQpx2t0eKbA

I'd like to see the difficulty go down so I can get a bigger stake, but if it stays up then that's just how it is. If difficulty stays high, atleast the coin supply will stay down. Less coins isn't a bad thing.

With that said, we will see a big pump eventually, though my offer still stands for Presstab to take over this coin and do what he does. That's 1 million Sprouts to Presstab to take control of this coin and limit its staking yield to 25% or less of its current rate.

I agree with GoldSeal. 50+ sat is coming. Someone is pushing price down to accumulate cheap. 1 billion or even 2 billion coin supply isn't that many coins when you consider than DGB is nearing 6 billion and look at its price. Also look at DGBs last pump that went to nearly 200 sat. There are lots of coins in the several billions that are doing quite well. Ripple is up there, and..

Doge is chillin at 54 sat with over 103 BILLION COIN SUPPLY. So ya, 1 or 2 billion is not bad at all and Sprouts can easily go over 100 sat even at 5 billion coins, but we aren't there yet, so quit trippin'.

Anything below 0.0015 BTC is a good price. At 0.0010 you cannot go wrong.
