Same here.

Looks like network stake rate has shot up to 3100k in the last couple of hours? maybe still increasing?

I don't quite understand, how does a pool ddos another pool?

The sad thing is Frac wasn't just another shitcoin, but I guess it is now 

We just got added to coinwarz

Sorry to interrupt all the misery - don't worry I'm feeling it too  

But I've been trying to figure out what FRAC's main problem was.

I'm thinking now that the 1 month core PoW phase in which the majority of the coins were produced was way too short.

Once we switched over to slingshield (which otherwise went brilliantly), there were no new coins coming in.

Investors had bought up all the supply and so nobody was able to trade, and that has effectively killed everything.

So I would suggest the only real way to get the coin back on track would be to increase the coin cap to something like 10 mil, mined over the next year.

Any thoughts? .. other than "ded"  

As the devs have said they're still around, but they have real jobs to attend to so can't always be available.

I do hope any honest and new questions get answered though.

I didn't get a chance to comment on the previous discussions so I might as well comment now.

I liked the ideas about PoS and similar systems oriented toward Frac, expecially if they continue to build on Fracs innovations and go in a slightly new direction.

I don't really think anonymity will help, it's flavour of the month at the moment (just like memes were a while back), but none of the top 5 coins have or are considering implementing anon features.
Plus it makes it harder to deal with regulation, which is the major barrier facing all cryptos at the moment.

In any case, I trust Earlz and would be supportive of Frac going in any direction he thinks is wise.

Marketing isn't useless, or else it wouldn't exist, but I agree it's not everything.
Good idea about the initial post, I'll check out saffron.


This may be true of copycat coins, which is most cryptos, but I got into fractal because of its innovations and such coins behave differently in my experience.
It's true fractal may never get the traction it needs, but if it does slingshield and the percentage-fees will ensure that the risk was more than worth it, IMO anyway.
To me it's a good investment, possibly because in the past I've done quite well buying innovative coins that nobody wanted, that later became extremely popular.

But everybody has to make up their own mind and I totally understand that.

Just letting everybody know usecryptos voting is back online

And of course there's still coinwarz

We're working on some advertising campaigns and coinwarz listing at the moment, and building the community in general.

We'd love some other ideas though.

Just an update on the ad campaigns.

Ad #12482
27.4 Thousand impressions  7/3-8/3
299 clicks  7/3-8/3

Ad #12505
10.5 Thousand impressions 7/3-8/3
137 clicks 7/3-8/3

We're getting about a 1% click rate which is pretty good I think.

And just having people see the ads should get them familiar with fractal and the logo.

Dead coins don't have people coming in screaming "TOTAL SHIT = FRAC", they have no comments because nobody is interested.

You wouldn't be wasting your time here unless there was something in it for you. I think that's obvious to everybody.

In any case, whatever your intentions, thank you for bumping the thread, you're always welcome in fractaltown, you can even use your real account if you like.

I'm not even sure the price being kept down, it may just be that nobody is buying at the moment.

I think our core issue is building a community at this point.

We've just been overtaken by JackpotCoin on coinwarz but hopefully it will only push us back a week in getting added.

No stress

The faucet isn't displaying properly for me at the moment, anybody else having the same issue?

I've set up another campaign.

https://a-ads.com/campaigns/3272

Funding is on the way which should cover us for 2 weeks.

If anybody wants any other banners done, let me know.

There's no central fund yet for advertising as far as I know, so it's probably best to fund each campaign as it comes along.

On each https://a-ads.com campaign page there's a red deposit button on the right that will let you contribute funds.

JackpotCoin seems to gotten their act together and are catching us on coinwarz.

Lets make sure we keep No.1 pos til wednesday!

Sounds good.

Glad you like the image  

It would be cool to mix things up a bit so that users see different frac messages I think.

If anybody has any good short lines I'd be happy to put together and fund a couple more banners.

I'm thinking:
"Fractalcoin: Attack resistant to 71% of the network."
"Fractalcoin: The most innovative crypto of 2014"

Any other good lines?
