Just as Goldcoin lead developer, Amir Eslampanah, prepares to unveil his latest client, prominent South African businessman and investor, Jason Swart, announced today that his first Goldcoin conference will be held in the “The Friendly City” of Port Elizabeth.
Swart explains why he likes Goldcoin’s potential:"As South Africans, I truly believe Goldcoin is something we as a nation could get behind, as South Africa has always been tied to Gold and in particular another Gold coin, the Krugerrand. So to say Goldcoin makes sense to us, well is an understatement."
Goldcoin (GLD), which features a unique 51% attack defense, which has seen its ups and downs over the past year, is currently trading at a fraction of its all-time high which was set back in December of 2013.
However, the digital currency has seen renewed interest in recent days as speculation begins to grow around the long-awaited client scheduled to be released at the end of October.
Swart plans on hosting a series of conferences with the kick-off event beginning November 29th, in Port Elizabeth, SA. The main theme of the conference series will be: Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin and the New GoldCoin for SA. Exact times and locations will be announced later this month.
At each event, there will be displays of mining equipment with live mining for people to learn how coins are generated. Swart will be giving lectures on cryptocurrency basics with a demonstration of the new wallet, including mobile wallet. There will also be transfers conducted to demonstrate how fast Goldcoin can move funds from SA to the US and back again.
In addition, information will be made available to explain how attendees can invest in, and become involved in Goldcoin. Details regarding event times and locations will be provided soon at: GLDTalk.org.
