The Pnd community is resillient and while the price is low now, it is not nearly as low as it was before it rose above 1 sat a year ago when it was trading thinly on the LTC only markets.  Consider that when bitcoin mooned to 19k last november in like 10 days time, the pnd price followed going 21x to 21 sat.  Similarly, btc is down like 70% from that high, and PND and most other alt coins also followed.  The point is, when BTC moons again (and believe me it will),  PND will moon, and most likely will moon at an even greater % because alt coins generally tend to overshoot in both directions.  

Taking a longer term perspective, with a fresh roadmap and team behind the coin, there is a much greater likelihood of forming higher lows and higher highs based on the long term charts of this coin.  When people see other coins mooning and they fomo into those coins, people are going to start hunting for bargains like PND that have potential to easily 10x or better.  It's just a matter of patience, and with each rally more people are brought into the community that can help PND grow and mature for better purposes other than just price elevation.

I just sent 5000 Pnd to this charity. Great cause.

To this point,  the voting page requires tabbing through each one to see which is getting the most attention.  It would be great if these could be sorted and show the 'weight' if not the actual pnd bounty associated with each one to quickly see which projects are gaining the communities attention most.

Very well said.  For any doubters, keep re-reading this. 

The market in total is mostly red, it's completely normal to have a period of consolidation after a vertical spike which happened to tons of coin projects these past few days / weeks.

If you are a long term investor, you have nothing to worry about.  PnD will form a new higher base than we were weeks ago, and assuming there is no global event or negative cloud, when the market turns green, PnD will likely follow in like kind.   Also, there are many who are looking for value in the micro-coin arena, and we are only just beginning to get noticed. There are a lot of good things to look forward to in 2018 for PnD hodlers.

Those that have some history with Pnd, know it has a lot of great things going for it, including great technical features as a base. The wallet alone far exceeds hundreds of other crypto projects.

Crypto has matured a lot over the past years, while many coin projects came and went, PnD has fought back again and again. This says something about it's fortitude, and it's community. We all know what can happen to coins thought to be 'jokes'..  Doge is sitting pretty at a $1.7bln market cap at the time of this writing, and they have had literally no development evidenced by the lack of commits in their repository. As I mentioned on telegram, the big difference is that in 2017, the world is beginning to realize crypto as a new asset class. There are the big name 'blue chips' out there are a few great un-discovered value propositions out there, of which Pnd is a potentially huge one.  Thousands in the community have yet to discover PnD. Those who are are here now, are here early. How long will it be before we see fully sanctioned crypto ETF's? a year or two? Maybe less... the blue chips will be first, but the value and growth coins will follow. I would have to speculate a coin like PnD will not stay at 6 or 8 or 10 sat for long if the trend continues with the notion of crypto as a real asset class.

Give the team some time.  A new roadmap is in the works, and the team's devs are committed to making PnD greater than ever, sustainably.   If there's one thing I would have done differently and learned over and over the past few years learning crypto, is I would have made out a LOT better, by simply hodling and not trading as much between coins.  There are some coins that are relatively undiscovered and have great value, I believe PnD is one of them, and the best is yet to come. Here's to a great 2018 for PnD and it's community.

PandaCoin up 22.35% today, slightly over 1 sat. Very nice.   I think there's only a short time before coins won't be able to be purchased below 1 sat, I"m excited by the activity on the slack and telegram channels for those who haven't joined yet.

Btw, how does one insert an image into a bitcointalk post? Do I have to host it somewhere?

What is the difference between the above twitter, and this

?

I wanted to report back that the Brew install of the above package got my panda bank up and running again  YaY!!

Thank you!!! 🐼🐼🐼

Wallet has been syncing for nearly 4 days but it’s slmost complete now. 

Jommy,

It would be great to share with the community what this project might be able to look forward to in 2018. The suggestions below:

http://cryptodepot.org/voting-booth/

Are great, but these need a bit of  horsepower from committed devs to make progress in any of these areas with any frequency in order to get new members excited about future potential.  I honestly feel PND could EASILY become as or more valuable as many coins that enjoy a position within the top 100 list on coinmarketcap, but pnd needs a big push initially to show there is fresh new commitment from a new team to bring enhancements and progress the technology, and or social presence.  I mean, why is DOGE, and a hundred other coins so valuable, and yet there are literally no developments with these?  PND's wallet alone is light years ahead of many of these already.

Do we need to offer some type of bounty to attract committed devs? I remember there was a guy a long time ago that was willing, for a sufficient amount of PND as an incentive. I think there are at least a few members that given the choice of slow, or stagnant development would be willing to donate a few PND if it can serve to align the commitment from a few good people to construct and deliver on a new roadmap.

What can the community do to help you, and or, to attract more committed devs to the team to build momentum? What can we do to incentivize new players to join the development team?

Thanks so much for all you've done already. I know PND has great potential for a fresh emergence, but it will take effort.  One or two people can only do so much.

Best.

Not yet, and I'm guessing this takes a while.  It IS syncing though, so maybe I just need to be patient.  I used your link above, and see  my wallet address is in fact the one I'm seeing in the panda bank, it's just zeros for now, and no transaction history.  So,,,, just wait?   Should I quit the bank app, add one of those long 'addnodes' to the pandacoin.conf file and re-start?

Side question - I see on the block explorer, that It says I've received about twice as many coins as I have in the actual bank, not sure how is this possible?

Thanks Jommy, much appreciated.
 

Jommy99 - so this worked, I got Pandabank up and the application opened without error.  BUT. I am not seeing my pandacoins... (yikes!) I'm not sure why it's not picking up the wallet.dat file that I have in there. I made a few copies of this file, so I'm not worried that the wallet (pre-install) is missing.  The wallet.dat file shows 5.4 mb on my mac, so it shouldn't be empty.

Anyone have suggestions on how to get the pandabank to see my coins and previous transactions?

Thanks!!

Okay, the latest download got me a bit further, I was able to find the brew install script and run this okay,  and now the pandacoin-standalone.pkg completes successfully on my mac. 

However,

Thanks in advance for all the help guys!  A lot of people are looking forward to reviving our community to make PND great again and *permanently*!

If you would like to try our latest Stand alone PandaBank for mac we can use your help too.  We seem to still be having a problem in some cases and are trying to understand better exactly what is happening.   In order to help make it easier to try and test we have combined the prerequisite libraries into this latest package http://files.cryptodepot.org/pandacoin-standalone.pkg  Thank you in advance for your assistance and feedback.

So it seems this package is the same one I attempted to download from this link:
http://cryptodepot.org/downloads/ 

it's the same file size as the direct link above, and so it is giving the the same error upon installation.

It errors out so quickly, it's difficult to say at what stage, but I can see it's happening very shortly at 'Validating packages', then boom.  Errors out with a failure to install.

Is there a log file I can provide? If you tell me where to find it, I will submit this here.

Thanks so much for the help!

I have an error to report, I am trying to get the latest version of the pandabank wallet running, and it fails to install on my mac.

Jommy99 - I followed the download link for Mac you recently posted when helping jdhadwin on Dec 13th.

I backed up my wallet.dat file (I actually duplicated the entire folder in my /Library/Application Support folder), and deleted the pandacoin-qt file in the /Applications folder.

I then went to run the pandacoin-standalone-pkg file, and it got through the first few steps, where it asked for my pass and went to 'Installation' step, then it says:

Installation Failed
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the manufacturer for assistance.

I then decided to make sure my OS was fully up to date, so I ran the installer and updated my OS to the latest High Sierra  10.13.2. (running on a Macbook Pro Retina circa 2013.

I tried the installer again, and got the same error.

Anyone have any  suggestions on what to do next?  Many thanks. 

I agree, but you know what? Let them dump. When the price goes beyond what they sold it for, they will regret it BIG time, especially if we can truly bring a new community together to make this loved coin last. There is no reason why this coin can't be as successful if not more successful than DOGE. 

Jommy or anyone,

I haven't logged into my pandabank in ages, but would like to fire it up again this week.  Can someone help me get started? 

I can launch the bank (gosh, what an amazing wallet, I think the Panda wallet was ahead of it's time for a while anyway).  I don't see any activity that it is active or staking. The last stakes were back in 9/2016. 

I see from the past few messages that there are these 'nodes' to add, but not sure where to add these on a mac?  Will my getting the panda wallet back up and running help the network to grow once again? I love this coin, it would be so great to see if we can bring it back to life again.

Thanks.

How do I join the slack? When I go through the signin steps, after I enter my email address it says address not found

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would be willing to give 15 million PND to a GROUP of devs that are serious about re-ignighting this coin with a decent reboot roadmap.

Who's with me?  Who else would be willing to put up a bounty to pool up enough of a stake to get some serious business strategy and comittment behind a re-brand?  If DOGECOIN can go from 20 sats to nearly 200 at the time of this writing, I see no reason why PND shouldn't be the equivalent meme of Asia.

11 days to go... Nobody interested in speculation based on the above? 

my .02 - With an ICO that is looking to BEAT Eth, I am even more enthusiastic about the project & potential investment.  For all that say the expensive ICO means low returns to investors, I say rubbish.. look where ETH is trading, if this team manages the ICO proceeds successfully and can execute on it's promises, I think the coin can easily top $1 usd.
