CryptoCurrency Convention
« on: March 05, 2014, 08:35:07 PM »
Hey just wondering if we had a speaker going to represent us.  If I had more background/info on GoldCoin indepth to speak on it and the money to go, I'd do it.  Sadly I feel I barely know enough to tell my friends in detail let alone speak at a conference.  Be to afraid of someone asking a question about some detail I wouldn't have the answer to and then GoldCoin looks like fools for putting me up there lol.

Anyways just wondering if we'll have representation.

Great topic!  :)

If you would agree to go, we could all get together and pool together the required funds. Think of it as an all expenses paid vacation to New York. I would go, but I've got my hands full here in South Carolina with three children and can't make this trip.

I'm sure between now and then you could polish up on your Goldcoin knowledge, and by April, be ready to impress.

P.S. We're also working on getting the Goldcoin Foundation set up. Please let me know if you'd like to participate.

Hrmm very very tempting :P  Lemme see if I can shoe it into the schedule and get time off, I'll let you know before the end of next week hopefully (waitin on the Mrs to get back in town).

The biggest thing if I was to speak at it, I'd wanna get full disclosure/technical details into the 51% defense as that seems like something to highlight upon of course, but I was following other threads over at bitcoin forums and seeing the debate go back and forth.  I'm certain if there was a Q&A after speaking on it, that would be the topic of debate above anything else.  I've read the idea/overview behind our 51% claim, but I'd like to be able to combat any questions/negative naysayers that might come up ya know.  Again if I was going I wanna represent us 100% and be prepared as best possible to not make a fool of myself/the community!  Oh the other thing obviously to highlight would be our new client release I think that and the 51% defense would be 2 key talking points for our presentation.  And of course our new jingle for the intro would be a hit!  Crap as I write this another idea flowing... GoldCoin Logo Polo!  Gotta represent!  I wish I would of know of this sooner, I know you mentioned it before on Facebook but I've been little preoccupied and very little free time.

As far as the Foundation, sure, I mentioned earlier that I'd help out wherever I could.  I try to spread the word wherever and help people when/where I can (tweaking mining rigs if they are running, setting up wallets etc.)  I could help moderate forums/website if needed.  I have a System Admin background but nothing in the programming department.

So if I don't make it suggestions for Speaker at Convention.

Wow, this would be really cool to go to. I definitely think we should have someone there to speak.

I may be able to go. I don't think I have the technical expertise to give a speech about GoldCoin, but I can help out with setting up the booth and talk to anyone about what makes our coin different and the future ahead of us (new client, logo, and possible role it could play in the physical gold market or as a commodity/currency)

I would need to get school'ed up on this though. Maybe I'll bring a goldcoin mining rig haha

I really think the software engineer should be there at least though, to be able to answer any technical questions... maybe get on skype for the Q&A portion?

Nail on the head about the programmer Sizzflair!  Hell if we had the funds make it a 3 man trip lol we'll setup and do the hardware side of the house haha.

Haha yea. Well I used to go to school in New York so I have some friends I could visit while I'm there... so I wouldn't mind making the trip out there, but since it's during the week I'll have to take a few days off on leave. I can probably get it approved...

If the community can help with the cost, that would be very helpful. The devs may need to brainstorm some ideas for the booth... a flyer or something to hand out to spread the word. Goodies such as t-shirts always bring people to the booth!

I was just going to use the mining rig as a heater though haha

Seems like a great idea,

I'd come myself but I have my hands full with moving houses and the new client.

Best of luck.

If you have any questions about the 51% defense feel free to pm me.
Want to donate to the Development Team?

If someone has some extra time, maybe we could get a donation page setup at one of the popular crowdfunding/fundraising sites. We should be able to raise enough money in no time to make this happen. (:D)

https://www.google.com/#q=fundraising+site

If you guys can get this setup, I'll blast the link away on all our social sites.

Akumaburn I don't want to pressure you or anything do you think the new client would be ready by the time of the convention?  Just curious if so would be something that could be demo'd live if so.

Here it is folks the fundraiser link!  If you have anything you wish me to add/change please let me know as well as suggestions.  I tried to get it knocked out rather quickly so sorry if it seems kinda rushed, but we're under the gun with timeline to con and fundraising deadlines.

Awesome Dustint!  Many thanks, again this is really last minute and rush job.  I do wanna try and get the perks for those special donators, so please bear with me, but hopefully I can get that squared away by the deadline I set for myself.
