Here are three exchanges that sell TruckCoin. Its dirt cheap now ( 1 buck buys 600 truck) but steadily rising up:

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-TRK https://www.allcoin.com/trade/TRK_BTC https://cryptex.biz/market/88

The only way you can buy TruckCoin right now is with Bitcoin so you have to first get some Bitcoin. Here are a few exchanges where you can open a cash account to buy Bitcoin with:

https://coinbase.com/buy-bitcoin https://www.trucoin.com https://coin.mx

Once your account is open then you can transfer the Bitcoin to the exchange you have opened that sells TruckCoin. Most likely, at this stage in the game, the exchange that takes cash deposits will not be selling TruckCoin so you will have to transfer your Bitcoin to your TruckCoin wallet at your TruckCoin exchange.

You can also download a TruckCoin wallet onto your computer once you buy some TruckCoin and then move your TruckCoin off the exchange for a more secure environment. I never leave coins on an exchange, just enough to trade with, keeping the bulk in my own passcode protected wallet on MY computer. Here is where to download a TruckCoin wallet:

Another easy way to get going buying some TruckCoin is by going to Ebay and buying some Bitcoin and providing the seller a Bitcoin wallet address. You can get a Bitcoin wallet address at the same exchange that you registered into to get your TruckCoin wallet address. Once the Ebay seller sends the Bitcoins you buy to your Bitcoin wallet address then you are ready to start buying TruckCoin. Don't spend what you can't afford! A small amount can go a long way this early in the game. Good Luck!

Question: What can I buy with a Bitcoin or a Truckcoin?

Dave

Literally anything you can think of. Overstock.com takes bitcoin. Ebay says it will soon be using Bitcoin. I have been buying gift cards for Amazon and WholeFoods through a company called GYFT that receives bitcoins in trade for hundreds of different retailers gift cards of your choice. TruckCoin is brand new so I don't expect to see retailers accepting it for a few more months so, for now, it is just an investment really not a usable currency. By mid 2015 expect to see a greater acceptance of Bitcoin and TruckCoin especially at participating travel centers like Travel America.

Bitcoin or truckcoin or any kind of a virtual currency make me extreemly nervous. And rightly so. Giving hard currency for a few digital numbers on a computer screen seems wrong. I love computers but I don't trust the humans behind them.

Now let's say they never ever get hacked. Might never happen. But since most people live in the moment and rarely learn from past mistakes what will happen when there is another financial crash like in 2008? Since bitcoin did not come into existence until 2008 therefor had zero infrastructure in place and bitcoin and now truckcoin, both a virtual currency, have absolutely ZERO track record in financial hard times and nothing to prove they can with stand a major economy Shutdown like happened in 2008. You see these virtually pieces of money is backed by hard money. Much like our real money is back with gold or is supposed to be. Companies by the thousands went out of business in 2008 and 2009. Millions out of work. Some still are to this day. Business is business and the companies backing bitcoin and truckcoin is a business. Which means it can fail if the economy takes a nose drive again. The backing company fails and guess how much those precious bitcoin and truckcoins are worth? Here is a pretty accurate guess.... Less than nothing.

Anyone heard of the Dot-com bubble from 1997 to 2010? I know you young people on here did not have a clue about the Internet big business back then but it was not pretty when that bubble popped.

Sure the economy is slowly growing stronger. Consumer buying power and confidence is slowly returning to the economy. But the first hiccup and the virtual world will feel it first which means a hard knock to virtual money.

Anyone remember when the stock market failed the last of 2007 and first of 2008? Retailers and stores and business of all kinds stopped taking credit cards and even some debit cards. It was either cash or not buy.

So what we have here is to virtual currencies, which I strongly add are both untested against any hardships like a economy crash of 2008, done solely on the Internet without any over site except what the backing companies do themselves.

Sorry Tevasu D. You have to look at my side also. You have 7 post. No bio page at all. No introduction at all. Never heard of you before yesterday. 1 of the 7 post were telling about bitcoin and truckcoin and the 2nd main post was to tell people where to by them. The other 5 post were answering questions that the first 2 main post brought up.

You have the people here interested is an unstable virtual currency, that is untested through hard times, and pop up out of no where with tales of returns you are getting.

Since bitcoin did so well someone is trying to spin off and ride the coat tails of bitcoin all the while bitcoin is struggling just to break into main stream.

I have learned in 40 years that the old saying is true... "If it sounds to good to be true than it probably is".

I work pretty darn hard for my money and I am sure others do also but to risk money on a upstart currency that may or may not even see the light of day in the main stream is a bit much. Hell bitcoin, even on a good day, is so volatile that is makes the stock market look completely risk free.

Sorry if I am sounding harsh but you come in with no track record here and this is how the thread goes? Honestly I am surprised this thread has lasted this long.

It's not that I don't believe what you say is true. It's just I don't know you and you show up out of the blue and start talking about an admittedly risky virtual currency, mind you not even a main virtual currency but a spin off of a highly volatile virtual currency, and I guess expect people to be as excited about it as you seem to be.

Sounds like a sales pitch we have all heard before... "Get in on the ground floor before the prices go up." Why in the world do we need a second virtual currency (truckcoin) When the first one(bitcoin) is still struggling to make it to make it completely into the main stream?

OK I have had my say and expressed in great detail about my feelings on the subject. I will not comment again on this particular thread.

Everyone else go ahead and talk about it all you like but I won't comment again on the thread.

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

OWI:

You can also go throw a Grand at a penny stock.. just as much chance of this. After you buy this buy a lottery ticket. Just as much chance there.

Me too! I almost hit the delete button 10 times but I figured I'd give it a couple days to see what was said. I agree wholeheartedly with Guyjax. In fact, calling it "truckcoin" seems like an obvious play on truckers and:

The only way you can buy TruckCoin right now is with Bitcoin so you have to first get some Bitcoin.

Then it isn't really backed by anything. It's nothing but numbers on a screen I guess. I've been in the stock market since December of 2000 and I've watched tons and tons of new investment products spring up over the years. Most make perfect sense. But "truckcoin" makes no sense to me at all. It seems like someone said, "Hey, truckers are dumb. Let's create a virtual currency out of thin air, base it on another virtual currency, name it something with "truck" in it, and see how much money we can make off people who don't know any better."

Unless something interesting and compelling comes up that compels me to keep these threads they'll have to go by the end of today.

Thank you Guyjax, Max, and Brett!

I started to respond to this thread three different times, then backed off feeling I was going to come off as a tight fisted old curmudgeon. I've made and lost a lot of money over the years, but this scam definitely falls in the losers column.

Guy and other Fella's, I am an out of work contractor, car repo, on food stamps, struggling to save my ass, found bit coin, scrapped 100 lbs of copper at $3.30 a pound, bought some bit coin. Got lucky, bought cheap. Now buying Truckcoin cheap, making a little more money. I thought the name truckcoin was novel. IT WAS NOT MADE FOR TRUCKERS! Truckcoin is a very high profile new coin,open sourced, owned by no central agency, being bought up by mostly young techies. But I thought Truckers, as a group, are highly wired, obviously mobile, great networkers and make up the backbone of this country. I am the one that thought truckers may like this coin, could relate to it easier than bit coin, have some fun, try it without a lot of risk. Its hard to spend even a hundred dollars on this cause there is so little of it to buy. My selfish motive is that the more that join me in buying this coin the more stable it becomes and a lot of people could be surprised at the profits on this. And btw, I am still trying to save my ass and my families. I have a long way to go yet to accomplish this!!! If it is un-American to try and get back on my feet and share or promote a business idea with you all here then go ahead and delete. Sorry I bothered you.

BTW, it took me a lot of time to write up all these post. After having brought up the idea of Truckcoin I realized that many people did not have the foggiest idea on how to even buy it so I posted how to do that. And then I have tried to answer honestly the replies that came in. I have a helluva lot of experience now about these alternative coins and could share it if you want it but if you don't then God Bless.

I saw the website. Just type in Truck Coin, and it will be one of the first links that shows up. It looks like...

1) a nicely set up scam, or 2) another place to sell Bitcoin.
