I haven't given up on Top, still holding on (quietly) to my million top

I finally am now a TopCoin millionaire /dance

Got my seatbelt, let's ride this to the Top!

I'll be there as well.

Brothers in Coin!

Trying to reach Milliatopcoinionaire status like many of the early adopters (came to the party 4 days late and missed out on the hash-party lol). Currently residing at 530K coins, trying to help spread the news/votes/etc to TC. Doubtful I can get to a mil before the block rewards drop further at this point (only 400Kh, single GPU), if anyone would like to contribute to my epic cause to join the Milliatopcoinionaires, that would be awesome

Still contributing my hashes to the cause! 

No plans to daytrade whatsoever. Like I said before, I see cryptocoins overtaking realworld coins someday. I mean, why not? 80% of the civilized world conducts business regularly via the digital realm daily.

Definitely wait. This isn't just a pump-n-dump coin, and that's by design. This coin had ZERO PRE-MINE, which means the coins in their entirety go to the miners (unless exchanged). The only ones that have control over the price right now is us, but if you sell at two or even five you're just screwing yourself... why even bother mining it then? Save the coins for the rest of us that came here to save it until the price goes up.

Not worried too much, IMO Top is still going strong right now. Not even a little worried. Right now just going to watch how things unfold, offer support where I can with my slightly measily 500k. I don't expect to get rich quick, that's not what I'm here for. Most of us know that this is all a timed investment. Everyone out there saying "I'm going to sell at 100 satoshis!" is just as bad as the ones wanting to sell at 3 satoshis IMO. This, like all other coins is a game of patience.

Current block reward is 62,500. I think the next block halving is tonight.

1645.2601 TOPCOIN!

Not much going on, aside from the fact that Top is still being mined rather well right now. I'd be curious if the Dev has any new developments for us today (like why is the block explorer still broken?)

I had a similar problem with CGminer on my machine, I have to run cgminer.exe -T from a command prompt in order to get it to work. I haven't had time to try to get the DOS gui to work. Maybe this will work for you, just make sure your cgminer.conf is set up.

I don't think I'll ever see 1mil lol. Single mining at 492Kh. However I am happy to announce that I'll break 500k hopefully tonight!

Very true, and from the standpoint that bitcoin-to-USD you are absolutely correct. However, I would point out that Bitcoin even in it's infancy had a value because some businesses decided to take a chance and accept the coin as valid payment over cash. Likewise the Silk Road incident, each of the drugs sold had a "street value" which in turn could be bought with Bitcoin instead of hard cash. But because it was an accepted currency that applied an amount to say an asset or service, the Bitcoin automatically gained a value whatever the USD equivalent turned out to be.

Right now we're generating a currency with no pre-determined value as of yet. Again, infancy and way to early to tell. I think also that what we will find in the course of the next couple of years is that digital currency, for lack of a better cliche, really will become the wave of the future. Too many positives, not enough negatives. The Bitcoin single-handledly devalued every major currency that you can put in your hand, and that's saying something for a system that only came out 5 years ago.

Ever since SR, mining has ballooned to the point everyone is trying to become the next Bitcoin and corporations are spending $30,000+ on mining rigs to get in on the action. It's only a matter of time before the currencies that have the strength will stick around while the rest are abandoned (much like many Altcoins out there). Topcoin already has a leg up above most, 6 days old and is in the top 15 on Allcrypt's voting system plus on more exchanges than I think anyone anticipated.


The more the word gets out about TopCoin, the better our chances. We just have to keep spreading it around. Dev already said that even after it hits 1coin/block it will be that way for 500 years lol. So there is definitely a good reason to keep mining (those 1blocks will be solved quickly IMO). Reddit is probably the best place to start, look how Dogecoin picked up? IMO it was originally supposed to just make fun of Bitcoin and turned around to have more of a value than anticipated. Hell, weren't they helping an Olympic team get sponsored? Who in the hell saw that coming?


The fact that TopCoin already exists on so many exchanges (including the more popular ones) in such a short time really puts a positive spin on the potential for TopCoin.


A friend turned me on to it but I only started mining 3 days after release (kicking myself for my own procrastination and loss of all those potential coins!  ). In turn I have 2 friends that started mining yesterday and another that started mining today, all three whom had never even thought about mining ANYTHING until now. Also had to show them how to set up their rigs.

I was also able to use the positive aspects of TopCoin to convince the Mrs to allow me to build an additional rig to mine with 

Yes I'm new but wanted to input my own two cents on the matter, been following this thread since about page 30 (when this coin was first introduced to me). TBH I see more potential with the coin than has been reported. One of the concerns brought up was that there will be no one to mine. From what I'm seeing, there are more workers mining this altcoin (and at a faster hashrate; more workers, faster hashing) than some of the other new and popular coins out there as well. Also, if the block solving expectation is at 30sec intervals, won't the mining of the coin still return results faster than say a bitcoin or litecoin? Per-day hashing with this coin will still have a better return and add new coins to the market more frequently than some of the other coins out there because of the 30sec block rule without saturating the market with too many coins.

The other thing this coin needs is markets to use the currency on. So many people worried about pumping-and-dumping this coins for quick easy cash, that method will only keep the coin low for a long time. This particular coin is so new in its infancy (it's only been mine-able for 6 days...) but will only gain the potential we want if we put some effort into it.

I remember when bitcoin first came out, like many I shrugged it off as a fad. The main thing that got bitcoin off the ground was that businesses and services took a chance on bitcoin, accepting payment with an otherwise useless currency at the time and now look where it's at. If we can get the word out about topcoin, getting some people exchanging it for goods and services like bitcoin started, it will eventually take off. I've seen the internet come together for a cause many times when something warranted it, we can do that here too.

I think the fact that so many people are still mining this coin well into it's infancy gives it a fair shot. We as a group and out there on other crypto forums just need to push on and give this coin a chance to walk. I do not think topcoin is or has the potential to be the next bitcoin, but who knows? Only time and our efforts will tell.
