Re: [ANN][TECH] Tech Rebuilt! | Wallet v1.1.4 Update | #Stake2Win | Giveaways | WIP
I have changed my position on anon and am now firmly against adding it to TECH. I think it's gimmicky and doesn't align with the direction we have planned for the coin. Our goal is full transparency, and I think that should include transactions. Plus it is a deterrent to merchant acceptance.
Thanks for the input, and you reasoning. I like the idea but it is not a deal breaker for me... there are other coins that are working on anon that one can use.
my opinion is the priority should be ease of use, and merchant acceptance is a big part of that.
Re: [ANN][TECH] Tech Rebuilt! | Wallet v1.1.4 Update | #Stake2Win | Giveaways | WIP
OK TECHies... sorry but couldn't resist!
We have a group here that wants to do something special with this coin! What are some things that you would like to see in TECHcoin that you are not getting in other coins? or that you are that would be a very cool addition.
I personally like the idea anonymous transactions, I do know that several coins are trying to accomplish that so it would probably be best to wait it out to see what works best? or maybe Tech could help facilitate?
I believe the most important thing is ease of use... anything to make it easy to use would be huge.
What do you think? whether you have Tech or not...

Re: [ANN][TECH] TechCoin Rebuilt! Developments | New Wallet | Bounties | Giveaways
BTC from mining shares will be distributed evenly on Nov 1. to all #TopTech eligible members (500 or more TECH) who have a registered BTC address. The email for registering will be coming this evening.
How do I register my BTC address?
Thanks!
Nevermind - I just got the email...

I think we should implement some kind of anon. technology and then join the BTCD "supernetwork" which solidifies the anon technology and security. If implementing anon tech is beyond the scope of what our devs. can do, I would be willing to fund the project ( as long as I could vet the dev. who would be contracted to implement the anon). By farming out any possible anon. I would still expect the current dev team to be running the show (in case that was unclear).
I like the anon aspects, but I am not aware of what the "supernetwork" and do not know what that brings.
I am all for that, but I still think it is important to work on ease of use and incentives to use the coin.
Thanks for letting me put in my two Techcoins!
Re: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN]
Thanks for the feedback evtrmm and Testing Cyrpto.
From my point of view, videos and tutorials won't work as TC said above.
Think apple, (whether you use them or not) it works and is intuitive.
I am not a fan, I do have a Macbook air that I use when I travel, but have a PC desktop and android phone. I tried to get my wife off the iphone onto andriod, she couldn't get back to the iphone fast enough, plus my daughter was a master of the iphone at age 3. My point? Work on easy use and benefits for using.
Just some thoughts:
1) wallet install is easy and looks like a online checking account
2) Backup, security, staking and other features or needed actions - simple and automatic (is it possible to use the block-chain to store backup / security and other stuff?)
3) Ability to use the coin - a way to seamlessly transfer to fiat (US$) for spending? and back when receiving fiat. Thinking if staking the coin, it would be a benefit to earn "interest" while your waiting to use the coin.
4) Ability to use the coin in same way as above with a "debt card" or some sort of mobile payment while away from computer without having to transfer coin from one wallet to another. Fees that merchants pay could pay for the card manufacture, and if the merchant takes Tech they save the merchant fees and the consumer shares in the savings?
Not sure if any of this is do able or if so "we" (the TC community) may not have the resources to accomplish...
Hope this helps the discussion and direction of the Techcoin!

Re: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN]
I have been trying to think this through a bit. I am really just a newbie in the whole crypto-currency world but believe that there is a tremendous upside once John Q. Public starts adopting. I don't have any programming abilities or even anything that I can add to the conversation at this point that is specific and concrete.
The only thing that I keep coming back to while thinking what can "we" do to make this coin better, is what 1) hasn't been done, or 2) hasn't been done as well as this coin could do it.
All I have (at least at this point) is what can we do to make it easy to use, and beneficial to the user by using tech coin? I don't have any answers, but I thought I would post my question to promote discussion.
If I am off base here, please excuse my ignorance.

Re: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN]
I'll pledge 10,000 or so coins to support the blockchain. I just moved some off the exchange. Here's the link to verify: http://techblocks.chainworks.info:8324/address/TEA2hQJXa8jabkDJB1o3PvPCLvXiN92gc1
I have 10,000 plus coins as well... I have been keeping the wallet open and Staking. Didn't realize that this was helpful... glad to be able to help. As soon as I start my new job I will be buying more to help with the volume on Bittrex.
I just not sure what I can do besides what I am...so anything else I can do to help please let me know.
Re: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN]
back from my week long rendezvous.
pretty sure we need to get some kind of funding going for Tech. one way or the other. perhaps some shares in BAMM would be a good start.
I will have to check it out with the crew, but herhaps if we can raise up .25 BTC, BAMM would match that?
For those of you who don't know, BAMM is a cloud mining startup - ish company. BAMM - (Actually I) currently owns about 2500 TECH, so it would be in our interest to support the coin. kind of a back/forth support. When I sell coins, I invest into the BAMM hardware fund to help purchase more mining hardware there for the hashes that have been purchased should theoretically either hold value or go up in value.
SaylerC and Zunalter are both BAMM holders, and I steered them here.
Being that I was drunk every night the last week, I stayed away from quite a bit. That is what you are supposed to do on Vacation or on a work related trip right?
Lets keep the dialogue going. I am about to load up my trader for a bit to get some bittrex support. if you look, you will see.

I am currently on vacation, and will be without internet access starting on Sun for a week. When I get back I will support anyway that I can... just got a new job, so it may be just putting in some buy orders on a regular basis. But anything this wantabe geek can do, I will try in supporting this coin.
Re: [ANN] Techcoin [TECH] [186,985 PoW coins 4% PoS] [BITTREX] [ALLCOIN]
First things first - What truly incentivizes users to use our coin vs all the other coins on the market? We know how Credit card companies do it - they use 2 things: interest rates and rewards programs. (let me just say that I am not a developer. I know nothing about code, I am more of a hardware/networking guy, so if what I am saying will not work/is not possible feel free to smack me up) As I have said before, I think Sync was on to something, except for the fact that their program encourages users to hold Sync and not make it a liquid asset.
The Tech rewards vision:
current market issue - payment platforms specified to a single coin and not far reaching
1. develop a tech payment platform/pos system as a simple website plugin that would allow vendors to simply/easily integrate to their websites.
2. the payment platform would accept multiple currencies making it more desirable for merchants to implement because of its vast amount of options - think veribit, but not just for Veri.
3. This is where the rewards come in: When consumers spend TECH at a vendor with the TECH pos platform in place, they are sent a receipt via their wallet - not email - and along with that receipt comes a number of tech rewards coins/points - this can be done using colored coins as a starting point, but could eventually lead to redundant blockchain technologies.........
4. A Tech internet store is built primarily for the tech rewards program, yet open to other currencies. (to allow the tech program to profit and thrive) Discounts in the store are given for using TECH as a payment, and even further discounts - are given when TECH rewards are used as payment.
TECH rewards are generated upon sale using the tech currency. The rewards are not transferable and will only be accepted at the tech rewards store, where when used, will be destroyed - colored coins will allow this.
I like the rewards direction! Hope the Devs do to!
Anything that encourages using Tech would be great!
