A given success for the 15.000k EAC giveaway, I got good feedback and some where amazed that earthcoin had so much resources and big community.
hopefully some of them will stick around for a while
Great Job +1.
EDIT: I just sent you 25,000 eac, please do another one tomorrow.
You guys should give out fewer coins to more people if the point is to get in fresh meat.
@earthcoin
I think that is ok. Earthcoin has no conncetion to the IE. And it is just a plain lower case 'e'. In my opinion the logo reminds people of the logo of the internet explorer. I showed the logo to many people and they all saw it "Ihhh internet explorer. Nice coin, but this logo is bad".
Is there a possibilty for a competion for a new logo. Same style but less ie-ish? Maybe another font style.
In the context of a possible impending lawsuit against the Coinye devs - and yes maybe the RPC as well - I can't help mentioning/asking if the devs behind EAC are absolutely sure there can be no lawsuit from e.g. Microsoft with that very similar logo to the Internet Explorer one..?

It's not even that similar. It's just a blocky lowercase E. The tail of the IE 'e' hooks around to end parallel with the upper part, the EAC one does not. And the IE 'e' is heavier weight.
Please, for god's sake, do not change the logo now. Look at what happened with Quark running a 'logo contest'. it became an absolute cluster*** and everyone still uses the old logo.
EAC logo is awesome. Microsoft does not have a trademark on lowercase letter E's.
lol. It is similar. If you have to go into dept to say it isn't similar, it's similar. I immediately thought of internet explorer when I saw the E. Sure, you can say it's not the same. It isn't. However, it's close enough to confuse most people.
In 80 years time people at museums will look at the microsoft explorer logo and say it reminds them of the EAC logo.
Re: [ANN][Datacoin] Datacoin blockchain start announcement (Minor code upd + logo)
DataCoin capitalization went down to $ 492,685
Buy prices are at 0.00033 now, so few BTC in buy order book. If I'd just look at exchange only I'd conclude coin is already dead. Trade volumes decrease with each day, except days when another holder decides to dump his DataCoins and leave away.
We have to promote coin more and vote more on cryptsy if we want this coin to survive, we have just avout 170 votes, I don't think it's enough to be added.

+1.
It's hard to compete when the majority of new users put everything they got in a new coin. The more coins they can get the better, regardless of the value or attributes(?)of the coin. I don't understand why people do not fall in love with eternal data storage, especially with the Edward Snowden case, etc. :/
Less than 72 hours to first promo wave. Also I'm discussing details of one more agreement for one more complete promo with big plan that can take weeks and months (bringing website to new level, SEO, more publicity, blogs, social media, web hosting and file hosting services, PR, etc). Guys, actual situation in crypto world teaches you bad things: 'new coin must go to highs in 1-2 months from start, if if doesn't - it is dead'. It's wrong position.
I'll announce some more technical news for you, just now I have at least 2 of them, but they're under heavy development - 1-2 weeks at least to finish, and I shouldn't reveal details now. One more time: remember first successful currencies like Namecoin and Peercoin - how many time did it take them to get popular? Datacoin is a platform, and unlike all other coins it needs ecosystem to be built on this platform.
Let me know if you need any help with non-tech things, i.e. coding. That is if there are any non-tech things to do
Hi guys,
As a lurker i thought this would be a good moment to introduce myself to the forums!
I got into Bitcoins earlier this year, because i work at the legendary De Waag, first cafe/restaurant in the Netherlands that accepted Bitcoins as an alternative payment option.
A very proud bitcoin owner here, and dedicated to hodl for years!

Are there many other places in Holland that accept Bitcoin? I heard about a Thai restaurant in Amsterdam. Any coffeeshops yet?
+1
Yes! That's true, as many more places were they are being accepted! Coffeeshops i don't know, unless weed and coinz are gonna be 1 hell of a combination...
Isn't it so that you can survive on only bitcoins in Amsterdam nowadays? Get food, shelter, shower etc.

Why is Quark Coin going down when other coins are gaining value?
Quark coin is just a pure scamcoin that's all
Who did they scam?
Datacoin of course.
We're not hyping it, but many-many new features, platforms and applications are being prepared for release.

I keep forgetting DTC is still pretty new
Datacoin is less that 2 month old. About to get on cryptsy. You can mine it even with laptop. And it is a serious coin. It wont make you rich tomorrow. But it will make you money in the long term and also make you have the nice capabilities that it offers.
Yeah I've been mining it with my laptop for about 4 weeks:) I said in the DTC thread that I do not understand why people do not fall in love with DTC when it offers the data storage it does. Technically speaking it is IMO the best coin out there. The Edward Snowdens of the future could reallyuse it. If you ask me he did the right thing and we need tech to support people like that

Re: [ANN] WorldCoin WDC | Coin of the Future | Instant Transactions | Launched
What I like about Sharmbeck is the costumer service, hopefully that does not change once the beta ends and real volume comes in. So much better than Coinbase and the like.
As someone who worked in CS this is warms my heart.
You think there are a lot of coins already?...Wait till larger companies want their own coins for the own rewards or payments purposes...We are only at the tip of the iceberg right now.. Larger companies will also have the resources to handle mining themselves if need be, or to give incentives to miners to drop coins with no future or use. Looking forward to it..:-)
It is kind of scary also(and exiting). FB, Goolge, AT&T, etc. are already major communication/media companies. Imagine them with control over a monetary system as well.
@onlinebit & @kisaragi - thanks for the advice
@onlinebit - you mention you're going back to 270X's on your next rig; better hash rate in your experience or is it a cost/power issue? EDIT - I found an answer at the link below, might go 270X's instead!
http://www.overclock.net/t/1454426/r9-270-underrated-the-holy-grail-of-mining-rigs-2-important-metrics
It seems 5970/7950 models are nigh on impossible to get for under $330 (second hand...) in my country but the 280X (toxic) model is ~ $420so I might grab one of those to begin with.
Thanks again!

That's right! And thanks for the link, hadn't read that one.
