That's what I thought. Sounds like something that can be abused. 

Hi, we talked with GOCoin at Amsterdam conference. Asked to be added. They have heard about BlackCoin but can not add it at the moment. Our market is not liquid enough. Their example: What if someone wants to cash out a TV?

We need more liquidity and they will consider us. They thought we were one of the most interesting markets.

How odd!? Goes straight thru here! ah well sods law.

Go to the Coinkite websiute and get yourself signed up guys. BlackCoin and Coinkite Cards being given away from Wednesday.

I can open it w/o issues...

This week! FREE BlackCoin!! Coinkite Debit Cards & Vouchers with BlackCoin on.

Over the course of the next week I will be giving away BlackCoin on Coinkite Vouchers and Debit Cards!

To claim these vouchers all you will need to do is open a Coinkite account from here...
https://coinkite.com/fr/w678254n

Create an account and redeem the voucher codes I will be posting up.

I will also be giving away 20 Coinkite cards to lucky winners of Vouchers as well!! So that a lot of vouchers to give away Starting Wednesday and ending on Sunday there will be 4 lucky winners a day, chosen at random from the lucky voucher winners. So keep those codes handy as you'll need them to claim the Coinkite card!

Where does all this happen? On the BlackCoin reddit thread. and twitter @vizique. I will publish simultaneously

btw. someone used "goes tits up" - what does it exacly mean ? Sth is not doing well or can translate that better ?

Did the devs said they dumped their coins ?? Did they mention that somewhere ? NO they didn't
You say that the devs dumped their coins but you have 0 proofs
You are just doing FUD

thank you for the info.
I will wait for a bit of feedback from the community, if you are ok with it i would add it to http://www.howtobuyblackcoin.com/ once it has been confirmed as a reliable service.

If not already there, you should post this on our subreddit as well, see the link in my siganture.

... a weekly update of progress would be nice.  All it has to be is something like 80% coding completed on blah blah, 50% testing completed.

A quick point to take here...

This isn't Apple you're making demands to, this is a virtual currency still very much in its infancy. If you are an investor / miner you are entitled to nothing but your speculative position in this currency's future value. Should you be a major contributor to the overall future of Blackcoin then please pardon me as I mean no offense. With that being said, your demands have been echoed throughout the community and the devs are currently working hard to deliver upon their promises. Should a month pass without update your concerns would be justified, however, right now your best course of action is to hold and believe in the overall vision of the coin. If that proves to be too much to ask then im sure a handful of users would be more than happy to purchase your stake in BC at current market prices. Take care

so... is there any proof that this coin actually does anonymous transactions ? or is it al hype or what ?

The keener BC-redditters will know Pavel (Rat4) & I are assisting David (Dzimbeck) to adapt BitHalo into BlackHalo, of which both applications will become the foundation for the umbrella app NightTrader. Firstly, BitHalo is functioning superbly on the BTC network, and he is currently tweaking functions and ironing out minor usability issues.

The intelligent design decisions that David used to create BitHalo to boost it's development speed have unfortunately provided us with hurdles to overcome in creating BlackHalo, alongside opportunities to massively improve the stability and accessibility of BlackCoin to other developers and users. In short, BitHalo relies on a number of independent third-party BTC services to function; these don't currently exist for BC so we're building them. If David had chosen to code these 'services' directly into his apps, then his development of BitHalo would've taken 3-6 months longer and we wouldn't even be discussing these projects now.

We plan on beta-testing and deploying both Halo apps more-or-less simultaneously. As much more work is involved than originally thought (and Pavel is already overworked with building PoS 2.0) this of course is delaying the release. The side benefit is David has extra time to build and improve NightTrader, bringing it's release nearer to that of both Halo's.

Meanwhile, a superb bonus emerges too: these newly coded BlackCoin services will also strengthen the BC network and allow other third-party apps to be coded & function more efficiently.

Hope that helps clear up some concerns. Please be patient... this is going to be awesome

Why are so many people focussed on adding a coin to more and more exchanges? Do you really think adding BlackCoin on HitBTC will make the coin "better" , or let the coin gain more value?

I don't think so.. A few decent exchanges is more than enough.  For example, we still got Cryptsy.

Why is he out?
What was he doing?
Is this a big deal?

Thanks, and sorry I haven't been able to follow BC that closely recently.

I know CitiBank from my country Belgium but i think their are also active in Germany
their are a few articles where the some of top direction members are talking about crypto

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citibank#Nationwide_expansion
their all over the world  

Magic top 10 crypto is worth know all coins inside.

my BLK blockchain looks weird for my adrress, i have more transactions that what i have made some big transfers, final balance is correct but there are some weird transactions on the blockchain. those transactions are not in the transaction history of my wallet. final balance is correct though and i've synced it many times with the public ledger to verify.  maybe it's something to do how the PoS works when i keep my wallet open?
