For members of the community who are unaware, I am currently researching/writing a book based on GoldCoin. I will strive to write an unbiased publication about how GoldCoin began from the 15th of May 2013. Some may think this is a long time ago, but I think a growing number of people will love to know how things began as time progresses. A preliminary front cover has already been designed:

I'm very much looking forward to the publication of this book. This will become a great resource for everyone interested in Goldcoin.
Please let me know if you ever need anything at all! :)
-
At the moment, I have successfully researched GoldCoin from the 15th of May 2013 to the end of October 2013. In total 48-54 pages in the preliminary stage for months May 2013 to October 2013. I am very happy with the progress so far ;D

Please let me know if you ever need anything at all! :)
I would be very grateful if the community could modestly help me financially either through donations or otherwise. A lot of time, resources and printing costs go into writing books. Please help.

Tyke,
Can you post a link to your Amazon store, I would be willing to help with buying a book & leaving a great review to help ;)
// Found it, here's the link for future reference & can't wait to see GoldCoin in the list ;)

I am also interested to buy this Book :) when is the release date ?
- Where do you get this Logo from Goldcoin ? I am not sure but i think it is an old logo from Goldcoin ? @Tyke
-
Thank you.
At the present time, I do not know an exact date of future publication. I plan to have the book complete by the Spring/Summer time. It could be earlier than this depending on my own personal circumstances.
Please direct me to the official coin logo design.
-
I'm not sure if we have an official design. There are three popular logos currently in use.
I think it should ultimately be at the discretion of the writer which of the three logos to use. Perhaps we could take a vote and/or offer submissions for the writer to consider? I have no objections to any of the three logos being chosen.
When I get some more time, I can reply in this thread with the three logos I mention.

What would be the best way to submit donations? Bitcoin or Paypal?
If you could provide those addresses in this thread it will allow members to donate.
-
I think the logo on the preliminary front cover looks more glamorous, hence the reason I chose it ;)

Tyke,
You're welcome, everyone should support ideas & dreams. Doing what one enjoys in this world doesn't come often, not many get a chance to live their dreams & is sometimes fulfilled by seeing others achievements. All to often people talk about the smallest things not changing the world, but "even the smallest effect of life is changed by moments of time & space". A book can not be unwritten, as a movie watcher of all kinds & their scripts all started somewhere.

I can't wait to read this book and read about all the hijinks of:
The original developer who disappeared.
The original developer who disappeared, then who changed his name and came back and then disappeared.
The Hash Attack, where we were all waiting around for weeks for the difficulty change.
The guy who came to the rescue.
The guy who made a bunch of fancy charts.
The guy who made the android app from that lighter coin app.
The guy who helped the main developer fix some of the problems in the code.
The guy who became the main developer.
The guy who pumped the price up and lost his head, as it were (its a pun).
The hobos who were at that one exchange.
There were so many great memories from that first summer. Oh man, we could mine profitably with a low end graphics card!
EDIT: and the Song for the guy at that one exchange.
and the hacker guy that liked the guy who rescued this coin and that hacker was nice to us. Wow!

If I do not come across some of the above, I will ask you for help :)

On Thursday (25/02/2016), I will resume writing this book. I have had other projects and work during the last week. Every book I am writing will be very professional.
It will be published before you know it :P
-
Today I plan to work hard on the book. I will post my progress here at the end of the day.

At the moment I am busy going through the 2,510 threads posted from the 6th of June 2013 to the 15th of May 2014.
-
I have noticed that the official GoldCoin Bitcointalk thread became very slim in terms of content between Jan 2014 and May 2014. Nonetheless, there is sufficient material on www.gldtalk.org :)
-
Work has resumed on this project. It is full steam ahead to complete the whole rough draft of the book.

If I submit my personal statement here, then there would be SPOILERS!
Nevertheless, while searching through the Alternate Cryptocurrencies section on bitcointalk.org on May 15th, 2013, I came across the announcement post for gldcoin...

Thank you
1. How you discovered GoldCoin?
I first encountered GoldCoin while browsing the Bitcointalk.org Alternative Currencies forum.
2. What attracted you to GoldCoin/cryptocurrency in general?
Having a business background, I saw GoldCoin as an opportunity to build a currency that could compete with Bitcoin for consumer adoption.
Rarely does the contender with first-mover advantage maintain his or her leading position. Thus, if world history is any indication, it will be a bitcoin competitor that ultimately penetrates the mainstream psyche and wins the race of mass adoption. And the term "Gold" means value to billions of people worldwide, giving us the perfect brand and platform.
3. How you have contributed to GoldCoin?
From my perspective, GoldCoin is like a young child, and we the members of this vast community, its vital caregivers. Like a parent, I have tried to provide the basic needs for Goldcoin to succeed. When she falls and scrapes a knee, I apply the band-aid or whichever treatment is needed at the time.
If we all do our jobs properly, one day Goldcoin will mature and walk on her own - resilient, brilliant, and ever-strong.
4. Where do you see GoldCoin in the short/long term?
We intend to make Goldcoin free and decentralized and 100% Blockstream proof. We are building the bitcoin that Satoshi originally envisioned.
And while our competitors focus on micro transactions and payments, our focus is on enhancing the value-storage side of the equation. We have built a practical physical gold replacement that can be used by everyone today as a digital commodity. Our 51% attack defense and Golden River difficulty algorithm give us the strongest most robust blockchain in all of cryptocurrency.
Goldcoin truly is the gold standard of digital currency, a safe haven for value in a turbulent world.
5. What is your most memorable about of GoldCoin since its launch on the 14th of May 2013?
This experience has taught me the invaluable lesson in the resolve of the human spirit, the strength of unity, and the unlimited potential of teamwork. When a person is able to see beyond himself and focus attention on serving the greater good of the community - magic happens, mountains move, and Goldcoin and the world change for the better.
When I think back over the past three years, this is the lesson that reflects strongest in my mind.

Thank you MicroGuy :D

1. I was trading alt-coins regularly on BTC-E and Cryptsy; the latter is how I found it.
2.
Primarily, it was the name itself that attracted me to GoldCoin/GLD. I mean I just didn't think the other coin names were viable for use by the masses.
As for crypto-currency in general, a Facebook friend of mine mentioned Bitcoin to me back in Feb of 2013. We're not counting time-travel paradoxes are we?
3. I have been its lead developer for all but the first month or two.
4. Short term we have definitely some marketing challenges to over-come, but I do see us in the top ten crypto-currencies very soon. Long term? Well I can't see the future right? :)
5. That'd have to be the hiring of the "Hobos" on Cryptsy chat.. those were some good times!
-
1. I discovered Goldcoin in 2013 on Bitcointalk forum.
2. The main reason was its name and a new alt with huge potential.
3. I tried to promote the coin. I mined it for months. I bought tens of thousands of GLD on Bitcointalk before it was traded on an exchange.
4. Short term we will be a low volume traded alt around 750-1000 sat. On the long term i still can see a huge potential GLD can grow to be a top 10 alt.
5. That GLD survived 100's of alts. ;-)
-
Please could AZIZ and Akumaburn write personal statements between 250-300 words. This would therefore fill a whole page in the book.
Thank you for submitting answers to the questions posed.
-
This is your chance guys to have your voice recorded in the "annals of history".
One day the people of earth will turn these pages to learn about the pioneers of the World's great money - the Gold Standard of Digital Currency. As we travel through this wonderland of life, it is only in the future when we have a chance to reexamine the past.
It's not too late to make your past count now. :)

Could anyone please help find out when GLD began to trade on Bittrex? As far as I know, it was between 21st-28th March 2014, but I am not quite sure.
P.S. I am back to work after a long illness :D

1 -7 Months ago I discovered Goldcoin in cryptopia the currency seemed to me a coin with future
2 -Goldcoin definitely attracted me by microguy their dedication and optimism is worthy of admiration also the goldcoin development has nothing reason to envy other cryptocurrency
3 -I have 6 months helping in different ways goldcoin being part of the workforce
4 -Definitely long term if Microguy at the helm of Goldcoin
5 -I have only been 7 months of being with goldcoin but the most memorable moment was launching the client open source alpha
-
Ok this is my story not too interesting like other hehe i just crypto enthusiast trying to find my spot on crypto as trader as translator or even as part of developer one of coin (will not say's that name here)
1. How you discovered GoldCoin?
This maybe missing some part because it was 2 years since i am here. So the first time i hear gold coin is from Mr. Microguys Fb post. For the first time i see this coin have constant miner out there. And that was the required for altcoin to be still exist.
2. What attracted you to GoldCoin/cryptocurrency in general?
For me Goldcoin as cryptocurrency have a perfectly name for digital currency. And beside that stability of network also constant miner was the most important. Also Goldcoin use the same way as real-gold to be exist. And Gold? I can tell you that Gold was exclusive.
3. How you have contributed to GoldCoin?
Until now, not much i can do. Since the first time join to this forum i was offering my self to be moderator of my language session on this forum. And was very inactive for about almost 2 years :( shame on me. But now i try to get back because again mr. microguys was impressed me with his loyalty with this community.
4. Where do you see GoldCoin in the short/long term?
I bet on long term. This community have great people like mr. microguy and other people whose constantly work hard to make this coin still exist. 2 years since i am not here. I think this forum was inactive but guess what? it still here and still active same as dev and the member of community. Loyalty was expensive thing and from this thing also from the existing of the Goldcoin i still believe that just like bitcoin people will realize how valuable this coin and in that time many people was too late. I hope i am still here when that time happen.
5. What is your most memorable about of GoldCoin since its launch on the 15th of May 2013?
To be moderator was the most memorable thing i ever have in this community. And i can tell that from this community i got my confident of my self and make me brave to make my self trusted able. And can do big think out there. And for the seconds time this community once again impressed me with the loyalty of their member. I still cannot believe that. But there it is. And i can say "I am Proud to be Part of Goldcoin History"

The following is a statement submitted to me via email by Alty who was an original member from the 2013 era.
I discovered this thing called Bitcoin in September 2013. After figuring out how to buy some (which was not an easy process for a first timer), I instantly became fascinated with how it was fluctuating in price. I found Bitcointalk and discovered that there were other coins like Bitcoin and they were called Altcoins.
I also discovered there was this site called coinmarketcap.com and I thought about how any one of the 30 or so coins that were listed at the time could also become like Bitcoin and shoot up in value at literally any time... Looking down that small list of coins on coinmarketcap there was one name that struck my eye. GOLDCOIN. Wow, I was in love at first sight with the name and had to find out more about it.
Following the links on coinmarketcap and discovering that GLD had their own thread on Bitcointalk but also their own forum I couldn't wait to get my hands on some. After asking a few questions I was directed to a cryptocurrency trading site (an exchange) called Cryptsy. That site was legendary back then, esp during the highs of 2013. The cryptsy trollbox (chatbox) was going crazy with comments about different cryptocurrencys and it was a bit daunting for a new person at the time, but such fun. There were very little hiccups via deposits and withdrawals for a while but sadly a bit later things started going wrong for Cryptsy and it doesn't even exist anymore. Now... I transferred some of my Btc to Cryptsy, ignored what everyone was saying in the trollbox and went straight for Goldcoin. I bought a very nice amount. Let's say I put the equivalent of $2000 into Goldcoin at that time, I'd never done anything like this before and it was SO exciting. When I bought in I noticed other people started talking about it in the trollbox and some of them started buying in too. The experience GLD and seeing people reacting was amazing, exciting and most of all..such intense fun!
Goldcoin was the first altcoin that I ever bought... and I have traded, many, many others since. It was partly responsible for setting me up on a long and exciting Crypto adventure. But at the time when I bought it I had no idea what was going to happen the month or so after.
I wanted to get pro active in Goldcoin and helped out making a French thread and various other things that would be engaging or helpful for the community. Goldcoin had a great community back in 2013 and whenever I check back to look at the forum I'm always so glad to see it's still active. Greg was the person I saw as being the face back then. After nearly 3 years, it's awesome to see that he is still is the same goldcoin advocate that he's always been. Greg's youtube videos and enthusiasm for Goldcoin soon got me hooked and I became an instant fan of the goldcoin report broadcasts.
Things were going from strength to strength for crypto as a whole back in 2013 and my $2000 goldcoin stash was suddenly worth tons more... TONS more. As much as I loved the coin, I'd never made money that fast and against my heart decided to sell my precious Goldcoins to somebody that saw the same thing I did when I first purchased them.
I always keep an eye on GLD and hope for the days it rises above many of the other coins with half the community and commitment that are somehow above it on coinmarketcap. GLD will rise again, as everyone knows the name is just too good not to. Lot's of people are waiting for an occasion to jump back in and it will happen. It's just a question of when combined with the never ending persistence that I think the dev team and Greg have shown.

Wow thank you. I will allow time for other statements to be written by others before I choose.
I am looking forward to the date of publication more than I was yesterday :D

yeah sure why not.
Got into goldcoin back in 2013. At the time my life was in tatters, had lost my job, my home and my g/f. Being so depressed all the time i had to get creative in order to pull my mind out of the gutter. Having already been an avid fan of bitcoin from the early days, I was keeping up with everything crypto related . One night at around 4am, in a depressive state, i was watching a tutorial on how to use GIMP, an open source image editing software program. It was in French, to make it even harder. I got frustrated, gave up and started watching crypto related videos. That's when i came across this very excited guy who called himself Micro guy.
The more I watched his videos, the more intrigued I got and less depressed I felt. His enthusiasm was infectious. Even though this guy was making a lot of sense, he just seemed a little bit crazy. I do like crazy so i decided to join his forum. It was a small community at the time but they welcomed me with open arms.
Goldcoin then became my life.
I put my head down, got to grips with the image editing software and started making as many promotional images as time would allow for Goldcoin. I wanted other people to be as excited as i was for this crypto currency. I started posting t-shirt designs for fellow members, promotion images for the 100,000 block ( which after, goldcoin became '51% attack' safe). Banners ads, fake magazine covers, 'Goldcoin accepted here' logo for people to use on their websites. A bunch of abstract goldcoin images and plenty of images promoting the forum and the official website.
It didn't seem like enough though.
I had no job, so with plenty time on my hands i embarked on making the first goldcoin game.
It was a side scrolling shoot em up. Micro guy was manning the gold cruiser, making his way through the game, killing various other Alt coin space ships like bbq coin, pandacoin, 42coin and others, you know, getting rid of all the trashcoins. I documented my progress in building the game on the forum and it really seemed to lift everyone's spirits. Unfortunately, I was the only person to play the game. At around 90% completion, my harddrive failed and so too did 6 months of my work.
Even though the community were nice about it, I still cringe when I think about it.
All in all, Goldcoin has been a hell of ride with plenty memories. Probably one of the coolest was 'Dec 12th 2013' when Goldcoins marketcap reached over 3.5 million and was worth over 12 cent a coin. Im sure it was around that time Micro guy promised to reenact the naked Miley Cyrus wrecking ball video, on condition goldcoin hit 1 dollar in price. So we all have that to look forward to still.
I have some other memories of an intense rivalry we had with the alt currency called BBQcoin. The coin was useless, it wasn't the least bit inventive, yet it made it into a mainstream media newspaper article. At the time, even bitcoin had trouble getting any attention so they were extremely lucky. What followed were weeks and weeks of Coinmarketcap battles between BBQcoin and Goldcoin. One day, BBQcoin would be just above goldcoin, the next day, Goldcoin would jump back in front. Bear in mind there were only about 30 crypto currencies at that time, competition was fierce.
In the long term, Goldcoin will definitely be a well known and widely used crypto currency. No doubt in my mind. The name is just too universally known and understood to mean a great store of value. Crypto currencies are still a new revolution, once the rest of the world catches up, they'll be wanting some Goldcoin.

Two months ago, I made the first step by joining c-cex chatbox, I had the chance to know Mr Microguy who is known for his obvious hospitality. GOLDCOIN was the first currency that I used in trading and it was my opening to Trading world. Microguy has suggested to me to work in Workforce to make Goldcoin the first currency worldwide which I believed in and I still. now I'm in charge of the exchange relations and I'll do anything for its best interest.

seems i ve missed 2 questions on my statement, so i will do this here :)
1) How you have contributed to GoldCoin?
In 2013 i was mining/buying goldcoin when i made some profit from trading and stored my Profit in Goldcoin.
In 2014 i ve just traded a bit with goldcoin and hold my funds. (HODL)
In 2015 i ve joined the community and contributed a lot of content by the Open Workforce Programm. (50 000 GLD Donation to the development team) (made some tutorials for gld , etc...)
In 2016 i want to invest a bit in goldcoin and stay here as a active Community member on the forum and on gldtalk.org
4) Where do you see GoldCoin in the short/long term?
In short term i see Goldcoin as i ve used it in the past = a place where you can store your value in the crypto currency world.
Why should i store my value in goldcoin ?
It is one of the most secure Altcoin in crypto currency space. (since 2013)
In the long term i definitely see Goldcoin in the top 20 Crypto coins in the world. It is only a matter of time when people realize that Blockchain technology is the future of money.
Maybe as a part of an open ledger for physical gold and as a crypto commodity.
5) What is your most memorable about of GoldCoin since its launch on the 15th of May 2013?
- So the time with the Open Workforce was my best time with goldcoin, since the start.
My most memorable time with Goldcoin was in 2015 , when Micro Guy hired me on Facebook for maintaining the Facebook group. We had long nice Sessions on Teamspeak where he was telling me so much about the crypto currency world , Bitcoin and Goldcoin. Then we created the Open Workforce where we tried to force people to do something for Goldcoin. So i believe to get paid in a crypto currency can be one big part to the road of success of a coin. We ve created several positions and tried to find people for it, at the best times 8-10 people contributed to goldcoin with their skills like translating the homepage or writing newsletters and stuff like that.
- The last big thing in my eyes are the team meetings every Sunday which first started on Skype, where everybody can join the conversation about Goldcoins Development process, so there is a Open ear every Sunday to the community , there is the proof of active members who try to set up the Gold Standard of Digital Currency , every Sunday.
To give people the chance to be part of the development team of a digital currency and to stay open for new Ideas around the world is a key feature i believe.
