I'm interested in GIS and so this project caught my attention. What has been going on and what are the future plans?
I noticed the forum on the website has been invaded by spam and there isn't any news or real information that is easy to find.
Cheers

Hi Folks,

I´m having trouble to access my PotCoin Web Wallet at https://wallet.potcoin.com .

Is there any help around, pls ?

 Huh

https://wallet.potcoin.com has been down for ages. The developers seem to have abandoned it, the same as potchain.net.

For anyone that's interested here is my post on reddit about what is going on in terms of developers:

Re: What is the Best Marijuana Coin?

PotCoin has the biggest community (9th out of all cryptos according to coingecko) and so I think it is the best. More services and merchants than any other weed coin. The only reason it isn't getting much attention is because there isn't any gimmicks to exchange it for weed causing short-term pumps.

The legality of selling weed for crypto is uncertain and the PotCoin developers are leading the way for making significant changes for all weed coins.

Check it out:

http://www.reddit.com/r/potcoin/comments/2z2rc3/update_on_request_for_position_from_the_colorado/

At the end of the day if any weedcoin is going to succeed, it needs to be 100% legal (not uncertain) that it's legal to exchange weed for crypto. That is when weed businesses will really start adopting it.

I get the feeling a lot of people just vote for what they're bagholding  Undecided

A coin for miners? That isn't a legitimate purpose. Miners need to sell to someone...
It's these endless x11 POW/POS shitcoins that are killing crypto  Angry

It is just -a qubit for ccminer.
I also get this at the beginning when mining "stratum extranonce id was not correct"

ccminer.exe --algo=qubit -o stratum+tcp://geo.maxminers.net:5515 -u user.1 -p x

Using : http://cryptomining-blog.com/4173-updated-windows-binary-of-the-ccminer-1-5-31-git-fork-by-sp-for-maxwell/

Gets me about 4500-5000khash on 750ti

Sorry guys, someone got to the source code early and mined a bunch of blocks, I'm restarting the blockchain and will launch as soon as that's complete.

Estimated delay?

How well does FPGA outperform? Do you have any links showing how the FPGAs are used for x11? This coin will be mined over several years.

I don't know of any proof but it's pretty obvious that there are FPGAs for x11, x13 etc. just by the massive amount of hashrate on some weak looking coins at launch. Qubit would be cool but the ultimate would be multi-algorithm like Myriad or Digibyte. Best for distribution and security IMO.

Because i dont know what font digibyte uses i cant get it better as this.
Anybody knows what font Digibyte uses?  Jared?

I really don't like the tagline "Why not send money in Digibytes?". The question is why send money in Digibytes and the tagline should be the answer.

These are some great ideas! We are looking into a Drupal plugin as well. A WordPress plugin is very important as mentioned above.

If anyone has any more links we will definitely check into it.

Also, does anyone know of any open source market platforms for buying and selling?

Sorry deemington, you said

Quote

"The Devs sold a lot of CANN at the height of the pump... "

Do you have any evidence of that or are you just repeating team CCN's slurs and assertions? As far as I know that is a completely false statement but I am prepared to look at evidence to the contrary if you have any. Given your position as a writer on things crypto I would think you'd want to either support or retract that statement. I would hate to think the fact you used to work with tokyopotato negatively influenced the research for your writing.

I Pm'd it to you. Been out there for ages. Anyway, everyone is STILL going on about CCN so maybe I'll come back when people are being constructive.

I assume you know the old saying about it not being paranoia when someone is genuinely out to get you? Well, the lads from CCN did put a major effort into trying to burn down CannabisCoin

  that they did do. multiple back stabs and hard hits below the belt. and all that after offering a handshake.


Everyone keeps saying stuff like this without backing it up. As someone who has no idea what happened I'd like to make my own judgements by seeing the evidence.
Can anyone help fill me in and show me what happened? These threads are a mess.

I wrote this a while ago about what happened. After all that there were some CCN people who posted here asking questions and aiming to stir up trouble. I haven't seen it in ages though to be honest.

Hi deemington

perhaps I can clarify just a little for you Smiley

I assume you know the old saying about it not being paranoia when someone is genuinely out to get you? Well, the lads from CCN did put a major effort into trying to burn down CannabisCoin and so perhaps a defensive posture is a sensible default. That's for individuals to decide for themselves.

With regard to "people asking genuine questions", that is based on peoples' expectations of CannabisCoin and perhaps a misunderstanding of its purpose.

Some people seem to think that buying and selling altcoins is something other than gambling. Heck, some even mistake altcoins for stocks and believe themselves to be "investors". Don't laugh, they really do! Some of these individuals mistake the various altcoin fora for stockholders meetings where, as stockholders, they have the rights to demand answers and insist on actions being taken to increase the value of their holdings. They tend to lose sight of the fact DeltaNine (∆9) is funding the facilities and grows himself and that CannabisCoin holders are not providing these funds, nor do they hold any portion nor share of the facilities nor any of the product therefrom. If these misguided individuals actually did attempt to perform due diligence they would have discovered that CANN is not a company but that the coins are intended to facilitate medical marijuana (mmj) patients gaining cheaper access to their medications. They would have realized that requests for coin value-pumping news titbits and pictures are likely to be seen as irrelevant to the task of providing patients with cheaper high-quality medications. Reading through the readily available information and listening to what ∆9 has to say in the videos tells me that he is not putting in all this effort to enrich people who speculate [read: gamble] on CannabisCoin. He is on a mission to help mmj patients.

tl;dr:

CannabisCoin has been under attack and so people might be right to be defensive. Altcoins are not stocks. ∆9 is on a mission to get quality mmj to patients cheaply. It is not his mission to enrich people attempting to profit from his efforts. The only truly legitimate question is, what can you do to help?

I offer the above with absolutely no malice of intent but merely an attempt to help you and others understand why some posts elicit the responses that they do.

The opinions expressed above are my own. The are not meant to represent DeltaNine, CANN, CannabisCoin, CANNdy or the medical marijuana movement, with whom I hold no office, position or relationship beyond that of supporter.


A defensive posture is in no way a sensible default. I think it is important that things are kept as open as possible. You say DeltaNine is on a mission to help MMJ patients only and doesn't care about speculation... then why even bother launching a coin here? He could just grow the weed and give it to dispensaries or use some kind of private token system. From what you've said it sounds like everyone speculating (which is pretty much everyone at the moment) are just a headache. Why is there a subreddit, IRC channel and dedicated forum? If it isn't about speculation/prices then the only reason I can think of is for the community. If people's questions are getting ignored or written off as FUD then there will be no community.

The Devs sold a lot of CANN at the height of the pump, as did many, and so in a way people are invested in this project. There was a lot hype about the Peg and the 'event' which is fine but to say that none of this is about speculation just isn't correct. I get that DeltaNine is putting a lot of his own money into this but being a bit more open would go a long way (including from within the community). From what I understand the long term plan is that there will be more growers who would come forward and keep the project going? Therefore the whole long term success of the project comes from people who might not even know anything about it yet. The next person people accuse of being a fudder could be someone that could do a great deal for the coin.

The only truly legitimate question is, what can you do to help?

Why would people want to help something that they don't understand? I have been following CANN for a long time so I know what is going on but when people come here and ask questions or want titbits of news then they should be embraced and feel part of the 'movement'. It doesn't take much effort but could have massive benefits. Instead it is just very quiet apart from talk about CCN and FUD.  


There was something I was half considering doing which could have contributed to CANN. For it to happen it would have helped a lot if it made it on to coinpayments.net. In the end CANN only received 3 votes. That is just sad and reflects the fact that the community isn't really enthusiastic or bothered.

As they have been trying to slackmail us the whole time.

I haven't seen much of this recently. Nearly every coin gets trolled/fudded but I have never seen a community fall for the bait so hard as this. Usually they are just ignored but here we are talking about CCN again.

It sounds like an interesting idea.

The first thing that comes to mind is water rights. Wiki says that water bodies in Finland generally privately owned. Do you own the rights to any groundwater source? Also if I owned €1000 worth of a 'pegged' coin and I wanted some water how does that work? Thanks
