2-3k? Make it 2-3mil and it might be comparable. I'll bet BTC wouldn't be around if a single person snatched up that many

There are over 10mil coins staking. I don't understand the panicking

One person controlling 30% of all coins means the coin dies. Their hands were tied and they took the best approach for everyone involved.

My god, it's like I walked into the middle of a Nigerian scheme- oh wait, I did. Lol@eating these cheap coins

Still can't feel sorry for those on the other end, however. It's all in the game yo

Note: this is not an attempt to besmirch the dev team

I think Vericoin could use a marketing makeover. This is not to say the team has done a bad job, but I believe they could go about some things in a more professional manner. For instance, during the webcast, Patrick mentioned his little squabble with the turd who was trying to say he DOS'd, and while it's fine to refute that publicly, I feel like much less time should have been spent on that. A simple, "some guy claimed to DOS us when in reality our code is secure thanks to our expert MS programmer and the fact we ban IPs at a certain point."

While you guys(dev team) can't ignore the community, I feel like sometimes you are sucked in to pointless debates that are meant to FUD. I'm not saying you guys should take the approach politicians or CEOs generally take, the "I have no comment", but I feel like some counter arguments are made hastily and unnecessarily which may damage the integrity of the coin. Remember, we want mainstream appeal and if some schmuck digs up posts(or tweets or IRC chat logs) with unprofessional quips, it could damage our brand.

Anywho, VRC is supremely undervalued right now. BUY!

Love gobbling up these cheap VRC

Off-topic, but I began mining 2 or 3 days ago as a trial with my laptop and I've yet to receive coins in my wallet. I realize it takes time, but it shouldn't take more than a day, 2 at the most, correct? I've checked addresses on my .bat file and it's the right one.

To be fair, it's not realistic for them to accept and store credit card info. They also mentioned that they don't have the funds to legitimately handle those sorts of transactions anyhow. I'm disappointed as well, but realistically speaking, it's a way for new users to get connected with legitimate fiat-crypt exchanges.

The comments on Coinbase are the most intriguing, however, as CB support would be insane. They're the group responsible for teaming up with Beyonce and Jayz to manage ticket purchases via bitcoin.

Oh noes!! I'm still up 3x+surf buys

VRC is hitting the moon, so if it goes to 30k, 20k, back to 10k...whatever. Unless an alt-coin gets celebrity or Amazon/Google/Apple-like acceptance, Vericoin is THE coin.

100k?

We'll take a break at 1m before hitting the moon at 10m.

Also, I'm not the least bit worried about this dump- it's a blatant attempt for whales to get their cheap fill.

Vericoin is the future

He must've missed the whale attacks that barely got the price down to 39k. They eventually gave up on their quest to 30k or got their fill from the constant 40k-45k waves.

Damn, whose salty nuts are you suckin on? Man, gtfo with your bitching and moaning

And I feel stupid

Thanks for clearing that up!

That premine asterisk on Coinmarketcap looks too fugly for me to ever get near them

Mintpal needs to recognize and swap DRK/LTC for VRC/LTC

That's the nature of the business, no? I just don't see why a community manager is getting involved in potential pissing contests. You can't stop those guys putting up 50BTC walls and manipulating the price to make money. So, if that's what IE is doing, then I envy him and his 100BTCs to throw around, because I'd do the same and make a living manipulating markets all day.

Wait a minute, are you officially associated with Vericoin? I only ask because, whether or not you're right, getting into back and forth spats on a public forum is a bad look for a company. I'm quite new to crypto, but I firmly believe in this coin. I bought in at 16k, held when it dipped just under 10k, lost 3k selling at 21 and buying back in at 24k and haven't looked back. I'm in it for the long haul, and maybe this is just how the crypto world is(like most internet forums), but it's disconcerting that a guy affiliated with a coin such as Vericoin is willing to get into arguments on a forum, when the argument isn't questioning Vericoin or its devs themselves.

Maybe IE is your friend, so perhaps you should make an alt-account to back him up. And to clarify again, I really don't give a shit if the dude is manipulating the price. He can do so all he wants, because in the long run, this coin has the features and devs to succeed.

What's wrong with speculation? If every post in this thread were based on undeniable fact, there wouldn't be anywhere near 300 pages. Besides, a guy trying to pump and dump is a guy trying to make money. I'd be worried if people weren't doing that and/or FUDing.

That's the obvious answer, but I wonder if there are other ways. Maybe a cloud-based backup mechanism implemented by Vericoin itself upon setup. I'm still relatively new to crypto(~6 months), so perhaps that's just not an option or treads towards defeating the purpose of anon cryptocurrencies.

Can't wait to see the security features, cause you know people lose their phones/drop them in water all the time. I've never used screen protectors or cases, never lost a phone, and have cracked just one screen in 5+ years, but I'm still not staking shit from my phone unless there's an easy+secure way to recover my mobile wallet. However, if it's pulled off correctly, well...the hype is real.
