Rebuild the official GLD homepage

[golden_glitcher]

nice job, looking better. A couple suggestions,

Embed the video rather than link it.

If there is any faucet still working then link that on the front page with big letters "Get Some Free GoldCoin!"

Stick in a link something like "The downfalls of a 51% attack", explain the recent debacle bitcoin had with Ghash.io almost reaching 51% hashing power, then explain GoldCoins 51% defence system (cos the video skips over it) using the illustrations in the pdf file (its on this site somewhere).

Ebay have a crypto currency section now, put a link to the biggest Goldcoin seller on there.

Link to LocalGoldCoins website and explain there is an escrow service there for extra safety

And maybe (just a suggestion though) add a page to the site called "Community Fun" or something similar and do a write up of the fantastic community behind GoldCoin explaining how some members have vowed sobriety or are willing to make ass of themselves when GoldCoin hits certain target prices. And mention the give-aways that go on every once in a while for new members.

Just my thoughts on it.

I think dencoinpool has been down for quite some time now, I have spoken with the owner on a couple occasions. I think he plans on reopening it but I dont know how long that will be, it has been down for quite some time.

Thanks for your input.
Since my english isn't the best, any help in writing texts for the homepage are welcome...

i think one good thing would be a language selector

Hey, I haven't been able to connect to the gldcoin.com page for a few days now... shouldn't it be always up? (Does it have something to do with the rebuilding?)

There is some strange routing problem occurring where users in some locations are able to access the website but for users in other locations the site is unreachable. We have opened a trouble ticket with our hosting provider and their engineers are investigating.

We've successfully relocated the website to a new and more stable host.

The site is now up and we expect to have working client download links within the hour.

Cool! It loads again for me now.

I like the current website, I thought it was one of the strong points when I first came across Goldcoin, so I hope it is expanded upon and improved rather than redesigned. I think the cycling pictures on the front page are great... they should only be changed when they get worn out in terms of repetitive views (a year of usage? half a year min?).

As for languages, how about a drop down menu that would point to the Google translator for the chosen language? e.g., http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=zh-CN&u=http%3A%2F%2Fgldcoin.com%2F

Regarding the new site:
- Perhaps black isn't the best color for the header background
- See what font style Verdana or Helvetica with a 1 point size reduction would look like for the intro question and technical sections

I do like the news feed and links to all the pools and services... and I think it's good to have this kind of information available, but perhaps just as menu item on the existing site:
- Combine Mining with Pools and Nodes
- Add News and insert the Facebook feed there, and possibly add Twitter and AltCoinPress
- Add Services

This is a good point. One of the main things to me about the current site is the main logo looks too big, has blurry text, and doesn't seem to match the site all that well. Also I was thinking maybe the highlighted menu color needs to be gold.

I think that the official site logo is one area that could use some improvement... however, I do like the small version of the standalone G for the browser tab icon and for the currency icon on websites like coinmarketcap.
