I have now made a new official thread at Bitcointalk.org

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231834

There is a lot of skepticism surrounding this coin and for good reason.

Based on all the data I have gathered and my 30+ years experience in the computer business, I personally give this coin a 1 in 6 chance of survival. This means that we need the stars to align properly and for all of the key players to become serious and professional in their approach beginning NOW! The shenanigans and name calling of the past are not helpful. If gold coin is to survive I think those representing it must hold themselves to the very highest levels of honesty and integrity. It doesn't matter what you've done in the past, it's never too late to change.

I personally view this coin as a patient in the hospital connected to a vast array of tubes, hoses, and a ventilator. And running around the hospital bed is a group of children laughing and calling the unconscious patient names. The poor patient is still alive but struggling desperately to remain in this three dimensional reality. And if the doctors can't save it, he will be leaving for the cryptocoin afterworld very soon.

What am I doing?

1. Talking with my associates and bringing awareness and investment to the coin.
2. Paying miners to mine until the tubes and hoses can safely be removed.
3. Making how-to guides for downloading the wallet and buying on Cryptsy.
4. Creating a series of Youtube videos to encourage buying the coin on Cryptsy.
5. Building and maintaining a community forum.

So basically, I am trying to save this patient with 110% of my energy. But I can't do it alone and will need a lot of help from seriously dedicated and focused individuals. Like I said previously, if the stars align just right and the universe smiles on us, there is a possibility this coin could achieve fantastic heights.

If we can all pull together and get this coin off life-support and into the mainstream awareness, it is my belief that this coin could be a "real contender".

Hello,

Tonight I will be making my first GoldCoin YouTube promotional video. In the bottom of the video will be a URL leading to this forum.

So I need someone to make a quick How To Guide for downloading and installing the GLD client. Please reply to this thread with your guide and I'll pick the best one and make it the official guide and sticky the post.

The winner will be paid 1000 GLD! 

Thanks,
Greg.

I'm currently seeking a miner who will dedicate one (or more) of his rigs to mining an alt coin of my choosing. Basically I will pick a coin and the miner will begin mining the coin. This will not be BTC or LTC. Ideally he would have additional machines that he could convert over as needed. I need the miner to provide all configuration and monitoring of the mining rigs application interface.

Please reply in this thread with your weekly price including machine specs, hash rates, etc. I will then look at these prices and send a private message to the individual with the most attractive package. I will need daily reports sent via email and the mined coins sent to me once or twice per week.

Eventually I hope to build a large network of miner/rigs that I can turn to different coins as needed.

Hi,

And thank you for visiting the new Goldcoin Forum. In this thread, I am seeking ideas and suggestions for improving the forum or comments related to Goldcoin in general. To help get those creative juices flowing I will send 100 GLD to the first 20 users who post their ideas along with their receiving addresses. To earn the 100 GLD you must make an attempt at a useful comment not just a simple posting of your receiving address.

I'm very excited about the prospects of this coin and appreciate your participation.

Sincerely,

Greg Matthews

Hello,

This is just a quick note to inform folks that the forum is currently being configured for use. This process will be completed within the next few days. Once we are ready for new users, I will begin a new thread on bitcointalk.org to promote the forum.

Thanks,
Greg
