First of all I want to apologize for my DEMANDING TANTRUM but I felt it was needed to get people out of their comfortable chair and look at the current situation from an investor point of view.

Second I want to answer most of peoples comments with the hope that some very positive synergy makes this coin even better than what it is now.

Third, this is my opinion and my criticism with the hope that BlackCoin is the winner.

Please go to reddit. You have to understand we all have our roles.. I personally know very little about development timelines and schedule... So I only focus on PR stuff. On Reddit I can pick and choose what to spend my time on. This forum is a terrible medium for communication. Today 2 foundation members did an AMA on reddit...

I don't like Reditt and its censorship.  You say something and if people dont like what you say  it gets down-voted and your point get buried where nobody reads it!  Yes I hate Reditt!


Reddit seems to have become the main focal point for the BlackCoin community now and it's been infinitely better there for just about everything over this piece of decade old forum software. I haven't seen any censorship there at all and if you're getting downvoted, it's because you're not adding constructively to a topic, just ranting off topic or just trolling. For those of you who haven't been there yet, go to http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin

"If you still haven’t realised BlackCoin is a community coin, there is something wrong with you."

- JP Buntinx, CryptoArticles.com

I think the cryptocurrency community at large has yet to realize the strength of BlackCoin's community. We will keep growing. We will keep innovating. Black days will come.

We have one of the fastest-growing coin subreddits at http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin. It's grown from 400 subscribers to nearly 1,500 in the last month. And it's more than just the sub number, it's activity - according to CoinGecko.com, the BlackCoin subreddit has as many new posts and comments per hour as the Litecoin subreddit, which has over 20,000 subscribers!

Most new BlackCoin projects are now posted on the subreddit, their direction led by the community's input and ideas. It really is much easier to work together in the subreddit format! Join today at http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin.

Losing the old thread is one of the reason of BC downtrend.


You've got to be kidding? Read through the last 10 pages of that thread and tell me how on earth that could help BlackCoin in any way at all. Innovation, community, projects, marketing and a lot more important factors drives a coins success than the number of pages on that coins thread. Also keep in mind, the Bitcointalk boards average online users is around 350, this is a tiny drop in the bucket of the global crypto currency user base at large.

I sorta agree.this shit is hard to find when searching
we don't need moderation anymore, it is clearly alot more appealing to see 1500+ pages instead of 150 we should be around 2500 pages by now =/

I'd respectively disagree. A 1500 page thread is useless when 95% of the posts are FUD spreaders, trolls and people posting in giant read letters every time they can to derail any conversation, that alone would turn off any prospective investors quicker than a new moderated and constructive thread like this one is now. I think it's largely a moot point anyway as most people are using the subreddit now anyway, it's far better at organising a community than any single thread on decade old software like it is here.

Yeah unfortunately it's an unmoderated thread which lead to it's inevitable take over by trolls and "others". Not sure if it can be resurrected and changed to moderated, plus even if it could, you'd probably want to prune the last 100 or so pages. It's amazing how much better and more constructive this thread has become, if it keeps going like this then I'd be happy to keep this one going. Although most people should be using the BlackCoin subreddit now, it's getting pretty good and most people seem to be migrating there now!

Alright,with this remember this is just my personal opinion,and my opinion may or may not represent views of the entire community;that being said,I honestly feel that this feature is not necessary. I'm honestly thinking very long term.I'm very intrigued by the whole darksend tech,and I agree with the majority of people that it is revolutionary.however, I'm thinking about how countries/ governments/ legitimate merchants will see this. To make a long story short, I think dark send will be perhaps the future of black market and illicit activities.yes,BTC and other currencies have been able to launder money/ other illegal activities,but that's because a) people did not understand bitcoin/block chain. B)many had not even heard of BTC. Now that govts are watching digutal currencies,many of these criminals are being caught because of the block chain and fiat paper trails. We've seen that digital currencies are still here to stay,and their utility is still feasible for what they were meant.but with something like darksend and other features, im not really sure how well this will be received by the rest of the world.there's definitely money to be made with it,but will it bring legal and ethical implications with it down the road?
No single government in the world will support Cryptocurrencie, and I particularly want that all governments will fuck off, if the function Darksend was not good Darkcoin and also the other new coins would not be thinking about implementing this.

"Black market, is what the government says for you that is forbidden."
Do not be a slave for your government, and do not let any government tell you what is right and what is wrong.
Don't get me wrong, to a certain extent I agree with your sentient with the govt. But for Cryptos to really take off,I think that it has to be mainstream,and what is shying away a lot of people away from them is how the govt treats it/the factor of anonymity with the whole block chain. I've personally showed a lot of outsiders dark coin and the dark send feature,and the first thing that came out of their mouths was,"I wouldn't touch this,it seems highly illegal/sketch".personally I was disheartenend upon hearing this bc I own some DRK.idk just this happening today got me to thinking

Yeah I think your right on the money dcm987. I think darksend is just the crypto feature of the month, and brings with it connotations of illegal activity which is something we want to avoid in order to get BlackCoin main stream adoption from not just people, but legitimate businesses.

... And no offense to the webcast, but it definitely lacks the professionalism I would have expected.

Agreed, we have a lot to work on regarding that. This one was all a bit hastily / not entirely well- organised.

Plenty of room for improvement.. Smiley

I actually thought the blackcast was really great once again, it's awesome to put a face to everyone and get your current thoughts. Look forward to more in the future, it's definitely a great thing for BlackCoin.

Hi all,

Just wondering how the mobile/cell phone Blackcoin wallet development is going.

Regards

Hey lectrolux! I believe there's an Android one currently being worked on, not sure of the ETA though. Apple won't allow CryptoCurrency wallets in the App Store as far as I know, so I wouldn't hold out for an iOS version anytime soon. Hope that helps mate!

Letter to IconicExpert. From me PERSONALLY

As we all know I have been with this community basically from day one, I have personally seen it grow and I have personally become the main spokes person for BlackCoin. I am viewed as the Community Manager for one reason: Trust & Transparancy. You came to me with your press release idea, and I said: put up or shut up, you delivered. I donated.

You came up with the BlackCoin Cards. I loved it and I helped promote it heavily on all the social media accounts and places I could. It was a big success. Over 300 sold in the first batch.

You came up with the WallStreet idea. I liked it, and I asked the people that are able to fund projects like these for their opinion. Before I could get the final answer you decided to hop off IRC and a day later you just posted it on the BTC Talk thread. It went great. I donated.

From that moment on you have never contacted us again. I was pissed when you publicly attacked Gritt for a comment that was true but misread by many. He apologised to me for it, we put out the actual statement that still counts: We support the idea, we do not sponsor it and it's not from the official BlackCoin team.

You know full well where to contact me, IRC, PM on BTCTalk and I think you even have my personal e-mail. Instead of asking me what that comment was about, you wanted to go on to publicly discredit all the work we have been doing for months.

Next you go and claim that idea's, that were from other users, were yours and successful because of you. I find it curious that you claim that VoS was your effort, and when I simply reply with definite proof it wasn't you, you can't even bring it up to make an apology.

You are the problem here in my opinion. You yourself have created this view of your persona right now. This is not 'the people from IRC' or 'the devs' bashing you. This is the community that is bashing you down. And apparently, reading your responses, you know full well that your planned 'take over' is not working. This community is so much more then this BTC Talk thread. This community is thousands of people big and they come from all sorts of channels. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and yes, a lot too from BTC Talk.

I personally am managing 40-50 people that work DAILY on making BlackCoin better. One of the reasons why we have decided to get a REAL PR firm for promoting the coin is because it has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. We will be doing something unique, and the only person bashing MY EFFORTS down is you.

We showed our faces on the BlackCast. We got over 250 concurrent viewers during the stream, and a YouTube video that has been watched over 1250 times. I've gotten countless messages that people love the cast and that they trust BlackCoin so much more.

Besides, you haven't talked about the answers we gave to your questions on the BlackCast. You seem to avoid anything that we do, i have publicly stated I like your work but i'm regretting these words with every other post you make.

The same with now (again, while I write this post up) the threats against the whole team that has worked so hard to make BlackCoin possible. It is so counter productive. Just go do your cards, go do your WallStreet event. This is not, and has never been some sort of competition/contest. You seem to want to make it one. For what reason I don't know.

Oh, and by the way, while I have been working 16 hours a day, for the last 60 days, i have donated to projects that others had. You seem to be such a rich and successful guy. Congrats. Why don't you come out and put up 2500$ for your WallStreet idea. We have an idea and come with 15000$ in hand.

We don't know if the PR firm will be an success. We don't know if Wall Street will be an success. We haven't bashed your plans, you seem to want to bash us at every chance you get.

Respect is not gained here by yelling. Respect is not gained here by the person with the biggest ego. Respect is earned by the person that delivers.






---------
About the foundation: We will address all this in the upcoming week. We are still forming everything and I also want to point to this article we have released on the 28th of March - http://www.blackcoin.co/update-2/formation-of-the-blackcoin-foundation/

Congratulations Soepkip.  This is what I expected from you and the team: a clear position on this subject without insulting and FUD.

You guys may not be experience business owners but at least you are clearly showing due-respect for others.  

I expect you guys never bring yourself down to a public fight about FUD, that is very unprofessional.

I sure was hoping that you guys would come out with a public statement as this one and then have this FUD thread locked!

You guys have my 200% support.

Always buying...

Buy-Black

Brilliant statement Soepkip, you guys are exactly the people we need behind BlackCoin, level headed, mature and nothing but professional. Loved the blackcast the other day, was great to be able to put faces to names. Keep up the great work, ignore the attention trolls/shills and keep doing the awesome work you have been.

Jebus IE, you appear to be both a blessing and curse on Blackcoin. You're extremely pro-active and have some great ideas, but your aggressive posts since the really great initiative by the BlackCoin foundation are really painting yourself in a highly hypocritical light. They're trying to do something great for the community, try to embrace that without any backhanded compliments or snide posts. Like your own projects, this will only do good for the coin and your really undermining yourself by reacting the way you do. Let's keep it positive people!

IE, we were waiting to post this after a conference call we had this morning. We then realized we wanted to add the .pdf but didn't have permission. I emailed them and they said they would look at altering it so we could put it in the public domain. They said they would have it by COB today. At 6PM EST I emailed our rep asking where it was and she emailed me back at 7:30PM with the .pdf we posted. After I sent it to soepkip he posted it.

This is the culmination of weeks of work. And there is so much yet to come! I can't wait. Smiley

Fantastic job guys, keep up the good work. Don't worry too much about IE, you can easily see by his posts since the announcement he's a little butthurt the attention has been taken away from his project for the time being. I personally think everyones projects has their place, the more, the better! Love your professionalism morituri, keep up the good work buddy.

Hello BlackCoin Community
 
As the BlackCoin Foundation we have worked hard in the past weeks and I am proud to present to the community at large one of our most ambitious fundraising ventures to date. As most of you know, BlackCoin is a phenomenal alternative cryptocurrency with substantial REAL advantages over its competitors. We are a greener, faster, coin that is ready for retail adoption and worldwide use… Only the world doesn't know this... That is hopefully about to change…
 
BlackCoin will be the first CryptoCurrency to hire a legitimate, brick and mortar, Public Relations Firm!
 
For several weeks the BlackCoin Foundation has been engaging PR firms in order to find one with the right technical expertise to help promote BlackCoin through various target media (think wired.com, theverge, wsj, financial times, and social media as well). After much deliberation we have decided on a company and are in the process of finalizing things contractually speaking. We are not going to release the PR firm's name until things are finalized, but they have a great deal of experience and are truly excited to be working with us. You will not be disappointed.
 
BlackCoin is Bitcoin 2.0. But spreading this message comes at significant cost. In order to secure a 90 day PR campaign (with options to retain services month to month after the initial 90 day period) the foundation has already raised over $15,000 USD! This has got the ball rolling, but we need help from the community! To finish paying for this venture we need the community to help raise an additional $15,000 USD.
 
The funds raised by the Foundation have allowed us to get things started, and over the next few days and weeks we will providing more and more information about the strategy, including key messages and timelines. Our strategy meetings will be 100% transparent and we will be updating the community about our every move. In the meantime, we need two things:
 
1.) Come up with suggestions! We have a powerful PR firm to bounce ideas off of and now is the time to brainstorm. What do you think is an important message? What is an important venue? Give us anything and everything you got, but please do your best to list your ideas in a concise and coherent manner.
2.) Please donate to the addresses below! This is a monumental and revolutionary undertaking that could very well shape the cryptocurrency landscape for years to come. Every little bit helps!
 
Linked below is a very high-level and preliminary overview that the PR firm provided to us in our most recent conference call. Some information has been redacted and the formatting has been altered (worsened) due to proprietary images (e.g. anything that could identify the PR Firm).
 
The Plan
 
The cryptocurrency world is having trouble competing with BlackCoin as is… With a capable and professional PR firm on our side, the sky is the limit.
 
Thanks and please donate today!
BC: BTfqh99d8DcKWrd4hFYLR7D2bAYDdAKV3Q   
BTC: 1MAGvdGMCAaJysMBgA5uFRBUFQ25AkUWQV   
LTC: LSGPviYMYmgF2RiXVuXG1U4iVz3drk3JvR   
Doge: DNkmhknWWx6ogrHaTy9X2SLft9ouwhCNs1   
Make sure to check the addresses in the original post!
 
Be the change you want to see in the world.



WE NOW HAVE: 1082$ Donated!


This is really great guys and brings even more genuine confidence in the long term success of BlackCoin. Great to see the foundation stepping up and putting their money where their mouth is, will be great to see even more future projects from you guys. Keep up the good work!

Blackcoin and the mass of development and innovation around it has clearly outgrown a single thread. We need a place where we can more easily work together to build value in Blackcoin... and we already have that place! Let's show the strength of our community.

The subreddit is a superior platform for our web community. Because content on the subreddit depends on community consensus (much like crypto!) there is a much higher signal to noise ratio. It is far easier there to work together on specific projects to build value in Blackcoin. Especially projects like today's big one!

JOIN THE SUBREDDIT: http://www.reddit.com/r/blackcoin

1,243 Black Knights have already joined!

The subreddit has tripled in size in  ~2 weeks. In raw numbers, our subreddit is growing faster than almost any coin! Our subreddit is active, but I'm not advocating that you abandon Bitcointalk - you can do like I do and keep a tab for each. Grin

I'd never used reddit before - but I do now - It's so easy!

This thread is turning into madness. For those of you who love Blackcoin and want to maintain your sanity, head on over to Reddit! Our community is starting to flourish now and it's infinitely easier to read Smiley

THE FOUNDATION...

Troiste, just when I was starting to think you were turning into a fairly decent member, you go and undo it all with a really immature post like that. Not cool man.
