In fairness, I don't believe that was 'THE' major announcement. It was an offer to the community for those wishing to join the project (with relevant experience) to come forward and apply. The fact is, StartCOIN should not be treated as an 'instant' investment. It is a long term plan with potential high investment gain. It would have been just as easy to advertise firstly via Jobcentreplus, but was offered to the community first and foremost as a matter of principle and loyalty to it's members and target audience. If it hadn't have been advertised to the community first, there no doubt would have been complaints about that as well. It's a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" attitude. I believe many more announcements are yet to come, and I feel that Karl is not only a very astute businessman who will do whatever he can to make the company succeed, but has and will communicate well with the StartJOIN platform and it's members therein. There are exciting times ahead for StartCOIN Holdings Ltd, of which a seemingly complete revamp is not only needed and perhaps long overdue, but is finally being imposed to create a more streamlined and successful business model with much better future potential. Those that believe it will fail, may just be eating their words in the not too distant future!

Whenever the price takes a tumble, it is usually followed by an announcement. In this recent tumble, I would assume it is to do with the upcoming share offering of StartCOIN Holdings Ltd on BnkToTheFuture.com which generally gets offered up for StartCOIN payments rather than FIAT. There is no doubt in my mind (only a personal opinion) that the price gets suppressed in order to gain more coins rather than less coins for shares. After, you will see the price double or treble which happened after the June 22nd (a few weeks ago) 48hr flashfund offering.

As for Maxcoin... It was never Max's coin. It was a joint venture by 2 clever tech-head Keiser fans who got Max to back it by name only. It was then that Max realised he could create a new coin centred around crowdfunding. His backing of crypto is based largely on his love of Bitcoin, and so was happy to lend his name and backing to Maxcoin, until realising the potential for a largely premined coin for public giveaways. He still backs Maxcoin as far as he would back any decentralized currency. Only now, he has StartCOIN with a new direction angled toward the power of community crowdfunding.

I understand your dismay, unusualfacts30, at the falling price of StartCOIN, but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the 2014 fall of the Bitcoin price going downwards rapidly from over $1000 per coin. StartCOIN will find it's feet one day very soon. Don't be alarmed because you made a loss on 0.45 BTC. Bitcoin had the same ups and downs, pumps and dumps etc, but look where it is now in the world of respected currencies. START can have the same wealth patterns too!

It is quite obvious that those knocking StartCOIN are too lazy to do their homework to discover the backing that the coin has. It is fast riding up the market cap charts, and with good reason. The coin is backed by StartCOIN Holdings Ltd, which has many other profit making companies as part of it's family. These include StartCOIN, StartJOIN (successful crowdfunding platform), StartWallet, StartPay, StartChat, StartCOIN ATM's, Crowdfactor (RT.com TV show soon to be aired), a 25% stakeholding in Bitcoin Capital (a multi-million £ crypto VC fund), and the soon to be released StartFund (a £20m investment hedge fund managed by Karl Gray). It has hard backing by dedicated teams and strong influential people, who's motivation is to get StartCOIN listed as the number 2 crypto currency globally. It will very soon hit the Chinese exchanges which will hopefully achieve that objective.

Some people have claimed that StartCOIN is a scam coin. This mis-information is based largely upon the 27 million (50%) coin premine which has been no secret and is achieving it's objective by giving away free coins every Friday to those that have pledged to projects on StartJOIN (crowdfunding platform). There have also been produced, thousands of StartCOIN scratchcards with each containing a minimum of 100 StartCOINs (some also with 500 or 1000 coins). These have been given away free to the general public (and are still given out at events etc) as well as being given away in the form of flashfunds for StartJOIN projects that are struggling to gain traction. The premined coins are not being stored for an individuals personal wealth, but are given away as rewards and as a means of getting the coin out into the world to those that may not have even heard of Bitcoin, let alone any other crypto coin. Anyone who has slammed the coin for this reason are simply lazy for not doing enough homework on it, or they have a vested interest in another coin that they would like to see gain the number 2 market cap spot, or have a personal vendetta against those involved in promoting the coin eg Max Keiser (a brilliant economist who spends his career exposing Ponzi schemes and banksters etc). Those who follow or oppose Russell Brand may wonder why he has not fully got behind StartCOIN. They also need to do their homework to discover that he is secretly a member of the Fabian Society, with strong connections to the Rothchilds and the Goldsmiths. They have a vested interest in the current banking system and so do not want crypto currencies (being decentralized) as a widely used payment system. The only reason Russell has tweeted support for the coin only once, is to not raise too much attention to it, whilst still doing just enough to get crypto-heads to follow his Pied Piper agenda (a way of gathering up the awakened and leading them to a non-violent and controlled revolution rather than the inevitable "guillotine for the aristocrats" approach). As Lenin said, "The only way to control a revolution, is to lead it yourself". I believe that Max Keiser may himself be waking up to that realisation, judging by his recent criticism of Russell.

Another reason that StartCOIN is a sound future investment, centre's around it's upcoming potential to fuel a payment system alongside Bitcoin, for the soon to be released Internet 2.0 (otherwise known as MegaNet). MegaNet is a venture from Kim Dotcom's team of developers (as revenge for what the US Govt and MPAA done to him and his MegaUpload company) who are creating a new internet that will be completely encrypted, decentralised, and free from IP's, making it impossible to hack, impossible to censor, and impossible for government snooping. It will also be free to access! It is being designed designed to only accept crypto for payments and completely turn it's back on FIAT currencies.

Please feel free to disregard this statement at your peril. I make this statement as a successful project owner on StartJOIN, but not as a member of the company. My project was overfunded within 2 weeks, 80% of which was in StartCOIN. The community is strong, as is the future of the coin!

Thank you for reading

Bear in mind that StartCOIN Holdings Ltd has StartCOIN, StartJOIN, StartWallet, StartPay, StartChat, StartCOIN ATM's, CrowdFactor, and a 25% stake in Bitcoin Capital (which is soon to invest in Kim DotCom's MegaNet). Also, Karl Gray is about to launch his £20m StartFund. StartCOIN is also set to hit the Chinese markets which should be phenomenal! What other coin can boast this much infrastructure?

VERY exciting times ahead!

As a UK investor in CANN, I am hopeful that there will be a change in UK law very soon, to allow cannabis as a medical alternative to corporate pharma drugs. It is a subject being widely debated here with positive directions thanks, in part, to the likes of Russell Brand's Parliament lobbying. If it does become legal for medical use, it will be quickly followed by recreational use. Once the MMJ laws change, I am hopeful that we can see a real use for Cannabiscoin as a method of MMJ payments here in the UK. This is certainly a coin that I shall bag as a long term investment.

The question is: Can the UK use common sense and expert medical research into the benefits that cannabis brings?

The answer is: Yes We Cann!

Excellent! Thanks for the info B4zz4 mate!

Hello.

I have noticed when Googling "Cannabis Cultivators Cup 2015" that the event on April 25th has been postponed until further notice. Does anybody know if that is the case, and why?

Regards

Davey

Hi B4zz4!

Sorry did not know about the signature thing. Discovered it now though! Thanks for the advise and for your very warm welcome.

Kind regards

A note to all...

I am a relative newcomer to this forum and have observed the following over the past few months...

After reading through the MANY pages and comments, it has become obvious to me that there are truly passionate and well meaning followers of this coin as well as some that have more sinister intentions. I have researched the coin, D9 and his team as much as I can (being not too technically minded on most of the jargon used). After much consideration and investigation, I feel confident in the dev team and the seemingly honest intentions of the CANNdy concept. It is quite obvious to me that there is likely to be trolls or "fudders" about and appears quite apparent as to who those individuals are likely to be. I am confident that this coin will do very well and that the trolls will not succeed in scaring genuine investors away, despite their feeble attempts to do so. It is quite a shame that well rooted and committed members of this forum have to spend 95% of their time on here battling idiots who want nothing more than to destabilise this venture for their own sinister or amusing means. However, full credit must be given to those that do furiously defend Cannabiscoin and the dev teams' honour, integrity, and obvious hard work. Their passion for the concept and the community they wish to educate, help, and enlighten, far outweigh the attempted damage and destabilisation that the trolls wish to create.

I currently hold approximately 17.5k CANN and refuse to be put off by ANY attempts to defraud my intelligence!

Kindest regards

Davey

Very true!

I disagree! There was a glitch in transferring my UROD coins, so I contacted support and they fixed the problem for me within minutes!

They are definitely NOT thieves!!!

The thing about losing your virginity only once is...  it leads to a lifetime of newly discovered pleasure!

I disagree my friend... If that were true then political parties would never get re-elected! Distrust can be short lived. Honour would remain in the hands of the dev team if action can re-establish order! Never say never. After all, Bitcoin remains trustworthy despite prior attacks and major fiat price fluctuation.

This coin has a bot running on it on Bittrex AND Cryptsy! Check out the simultaneous transactions on Bittrex @ 11/02/2014 05:38:15 AM. Also, most of the buying and selling orders are for 100.******** DSB. Some fool is killing the price of this coin. Is there anything that can be done (via Cryptsy & Bittrex Sysops) to stop this bot???

I want to see this coin succeed and not be destroyed by a greedy or hateful saboteur!
