Project Development / Goldcoin Opencart Extension
« on: January 19, 2014, 06:29:32 PM »
Hi Guys,
I'm in the process of putting together an online store and I would like to offer Goldcoin payment as an option. I'm using Opencart, and I was wondering if anyone here knows of an existing extension.
Many thanks!

Project Development / Goldcoin Half and Half
« on: January 16, 2014, 11:29:09 PM »
Hi guys!
I want to try and market Goldcoin as much as possible, so I've decided to try something different. I thought this would be a fun way to help generate donations, and also add incentive to everyone contributing. Starting this evening, I'm going to be doing a little contest called a "Half and Half". This is how it works:
Good luck!

This is how it works:
- Send a Goldcoin donation to the address below.
- Make sure that the amount you send is a unique number (eg. 5.01234567).
- Post the exact amount that you sent on this thread.
- For every coin you send, you will receive 1 (one) entry.
- At the end of the contest, the winner will be randomly selected.
- The winner will receive 50% of the donations, while the other 50% will go towards advertising revenue.
Good luck!

If we want to make an impression, and we want people to notice us, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO!
I learned about Bitcoins over 4 years ago on Lifehacker. It's going to be a little pricey, but it's going to be well worth it. I'll contribute as much as I can, but my budget is tight as I just buried my father last month and I'm still paying of funeral and notary fees.
This NEEDS to happen. So let's organize and get going!

Another thing that you guys can do to help spread the video, is sign up for StumbleUpon, and submit the video using the button that appears beneath it on the YouTube page. It's been too quiet here lately. We need to work to get this going!

Alright guys, so now that the video is up and running, it's time to work on promoting it. I have a contact who works at Virool which is a company that promotes videos to targeted users. I just spent $750 which he bumped up to $1000 for the marketing campaign, as you can see below:
If anyone else wants to contribute to the marketing pool, this is the arrangement that I made.
Use my referral link: https://www.virool.com/advertiser?rc=be0f7c72 and since he already bumped me up $250, he'll add another $150 for every $500 worth of ad revenue.
Now that the ball is rolling, let's all get behind it and keep pushing.

Hi Guys,
I posted a link to the video on Reddit, so if any of you are members, head over there and help explain GoldCoin to the noobs, and fight of the trolls.

The more we push this, the better it is for GoldCoin!

Hey guys... we have a new video. 
Took way longer than expected due to other obligations, but I finished it. I'm not a fan of my narration given I don't feel like I have the voice for it, so if there's anyone out there that wants to take the raw footage and dub over it using the script I wrote, by all means, please do.
Any feedback is appreciated. Positive or otherwise.
Thanks!

« on: December 23, 2013, 02:50:41 PM »I just wanted to keep everyone abreast of the situation. The promo video is coming along fairly well. It's taken a little longer to complete than expected (It's Christmas season, and work has been insane for me the last few weeks) but with everything winding down and a holiday week on the horizon, I expect to finish the rough draft within the next few days. I'm aiming for Christmas day.
I didn't forget about it, and thank you all for the donations. It certainly helped with the royalties for some of the assets in the video.

Hey, I wished you had mentioned this a bit sooner..
I have a premium subscription to both
http://www.videoblocks.com/
and
http://www.graphicstock.com/
Be sure to tell me if you need ANY asset from either site and I'll get back to you with a dropbox link.
I'll check them out tonight. I might very well still need more. I plan on doing more than one video, so therefore this will certainly come in handy.
Thank you!

Who invented the lightbulb?
If you answered Thomas Edison, guess again.
The lightbulb was invented by a man named Humphrey Davy. In 1806, Davy demonstrated his
invention (The Arc Lamp) to the Royal Society. This device required an obscene amount of
power, and the batteries which powered Davy's model were quickly drained.
As time passed, electric generators came along that could supply the appropriate amount of
power to the Arc Lamp. The most practical uses for the Arc Lamp were lighthouses, public
assembly areas and searchlights. The problem? They were simply too bright to be used in
residences and most businesses.
Throughout the 1800's, inventors strived to find a way to subdivide the light from Davy's Arc
Lamp so that it could be used in homes and offices. Many different inventors patented different
versions of bulbs, but none proved practical for everyday use.
In 1878, Thomas Edison began looking at existing patents and research in order to avoid the
mistakes made by his predecessors. He and his staff also began doing basic research on the
properties of the materials they had been working with. After several more years of trial and
error, the filament was fashioned in 1880 and the lightbulb as we know it, was born.
So did Thomas Edison invent the lightbulb? No. Others had produced an incandescent light
before him. He did, however, create the first PRACTICAL lightbulb, along with the electrical
system to support it, and it's for this reason that we remember Edison, and not those who
blazed the trail.
EDIT: I'm thinking we can somehow maybe incorporate some of this into the explanation of what Goldcoin is. We're not Bitcoin, but we'll be remembered years from now because we're more practical, accessible and relevant.
