I think i'm going to hold onto my coins right now as well.

I have enough for 2.... tough decisions.

We had competitions for this already, that gave coins out. If the community and people really cares, why would you need to get paid to give out ideas that might save the coin?

If you have ideas, talk about it, get it used.

As I said before in one of my old posts. GPU demand is going down, we need to have a better marketplace with other merchandise as well to garner interest from other people. Gift cards at a discount, other merchandise etc etc and more and more marketing. A successful company is one with good advertising.

Also if others can put items on the marketplace we need to make the buyer feel safe when the transaction goes through.

I'm pretty sure when they forked it was around the 19th-20th I can't remember the exact time. It has jumped in price since then, I don't know if more people has adopted it or what.

I saw Maxcoin doing it last week as well. I thought it was a bad idea for them to do it.... I didn't think it went all that bad lol...

I keep voting, telling my friends about the coin, there's at least some marketing with free GPU's etc, but there isn't as much interest. :9

I agree we need to do something, but others have a point about the direct market manipulation. But if it needed to be done, this is the best time. There is just too many coins available at the moment, which people can just mine and dump easily.

I don't know if it were to make a difference if we reduce the rewards, would it?

Yeah that pool has been down since Sat. I have been on the e-dog p2pool instead

OMG i want to be in, but i'm a newbie and i don't think much of the info can fit into my sig

OMG!!! .... so this is a great marketing tool OMG this is great... On the other hand... I don't want anyone to know so i can snap at least 2-4 up muhahahaha

I think it depends on how they set up their company. I think if they trade for gpucoins and then sell the gpucoins on the exchange for bitcoins and then for money. I don't think that they need to pay tax on that since coins are considered a commodity and they are trading it, or something like that. If they start selling for dollars etc then they have to file their income and pay taxes, since they are making money on their GPUs

Correct me if im wrong.

I agree with you, people need to use the coin. We need to expand past just selling GPU's though. As I stated on an earlier post, GPU prices are starting to decrease, the market isn't as strong as it was a few months ago. By selling gift cards cheaper etc we can create a demand to a whole new different population, not just those who are seeking GPUs. That's where the GPUcoin supporters can come in and use their connections and see what they can bring to the market.

I think the marketplace is great, but it needs to be expanded.

Everyone's ideas are awesome, I sense that people that are still left in this forum and thread want this coin to succeed.

Unfortunately, at the moment the force that is driving the price down the the mine and dump people. If you look at the volume, there isn't huge volumes that are being sold at really low prices. As long as we continue to be on exchanges where the price is being driven by the last price of the selling and buying regardless of volume this is what will happen. Some of the mine and dump don't care about what price they can sell it off as long as it is being sold. So holding onto as many coins as possible with our current exchanges, I don't think, will do much. Regardless of whether we were having 20000 coins per block or 50 coins per block.

What we do need to drive up the price is get onto a better exchange where price isn't reflected on the last price sold (since people can manipulate that). And to get more popularity in the coin where we can create more buying power to snap up the low prices.

Haha Malbee, I was like you for the longest time as well. All I want to do is help this coin succeed. It has a great idea, we just need the follow through.

I do agree that we still need to keep faith in the coin.

We also need to build a bigger community, with that comes marketing etc. We need to create some buzz about the coin. This takes both sides, the general public needs communication from the management team (I know they all have jobs etc) but making short posts to tell us how things are going and what they are doing/planning will boost morale and is pretty easy (they can even do it on the front page). The other side is us, we need to market and advertise the coin to the bitcoin community and beyond. We can't just wait for the management to do everything, if you really do believe in the coin, write articles, vote, tweet do anything that will increase exposure about the coin.

Secondly, I do agree about the posters about maybe having a direct link from the store site on the front page. People don't realize that you can click on GPUcoin.net to go there (put the equivalent price into US dollars as well so people know they are getting a deal, some people are lazy and when they see millions of GPUcoins for a product they shy away). We NEED to get on a better exchange that takes some donations from us and the management as well to boost up our votes. Honestly, getting on a bigger exchange isn't going to magically solve how our coin is doing. We need to do some of the things above to make it work and more....

More: With our current model of selling GPUcoins for GPU isn't going to work forever. If you have surfed newegg and amazon lately GPU prices are falling. WHY? because mining isn't as profitable as before, especially when you factor in paying for electricity as well. We need to start selling other products, gift cards etc etc etc. We also have to make it a deal ie selling $100 amazon card for $80 equivalent GPUcoins. The marketplace is a great idea but we need to put more things that people want there, if anyone has connections with big retail stores, mom and pop stores, anything... that can get things for cheaper and sell it on GPUcoins that would help.

As I see it, In the end, it takes both parties to tango. If you want the coin to succeed we both have to put in the effort.  

Sigh. I'm in the same boat as you. Trying to buy GPUCoin to keep it going now I have 2 mil coins just in that account and I can't do anything about it.

Let's hope they let just access it and withdraw.

Hendr1x check your PM in the official forum.. I sent you the information

I know that xhash has about 67 Mh/s as well. But this does worry me, dedicated has been up ther for a while now and I know that they were nearing 50% eariler. I wish I knew what the network hash rates were. I really don't want the 51% attack on this coin.

Wow thats awesome! I hope I got in on time! Thanks!

Thank you,

I think that might be the problem. They might not be doing the same thing at the moment. Its also frustrating, since i'm new to this i'm trying to visit as many websites as possible so I don't have to ask as many silly questions.

Lastly, On a P2pool I was mining the last 24 hours and getting coins sent to my wallet. The coins being sent in was in a parabola curve. Now i'm at "no shares yet" for the last 3 hours. Is that a common thing for a p2pool?

Hi guys,

A new miner here. I am currently mining on a p2pool. I have two gaming computers mining to one address. When I check the p2pool hashrate (on their website) adding the second computer doesn't do anything to my hashrate.

Am I doing something wrong? Are other people finding this as well?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Second computer is at a different house, if that matters.
