Title: PhilanthropistCoin - New Altcoin - SAVE THE WORLD
Post by: thecrowdsrc on February 15, 2018, 01:41:53 AM
Anyone and everyone who loves cryptocurrency can help the world.

I am starting a new cryptocurrency called PhilanthropistCoin. It is a javascript coin, wallet, and block explorer. It was forked from naive-coin.

Every time someone mines a block they get 50 PhilanthropistCoin. But an extra 50 PhilanthropistCoin goes to a "charity" address where nonprofits/charities can request funds from.

Currently the code supports transactions. Soon I will make a way for users to vote where the "charity" funds go.

The current algorithm is POW (Proof of Work). This will stay the same, but I will also add in DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake). That addition will allow for the voting.

The idea came from a mix of bitshares and wanting to help the world. Bitshares created a funding system to fund their workers all by the users voting for them. The funds came in the beginning. Then users can vote to where the funds can go. I want that but where users can vote what charities/nonprofits to help.

More information: https://github.com/Kennybll/philanthropist (https://github.com/Kennybll/philanthropist)

Thanks and go get 'em!

I like the setup through localhost; however for port 49029 I'm getting 'upgrade required' and for 49030 I'm getting connection refused.
Would love to solve this with you  (also I'm getting invalid parameters when using 'X' for mining, curious about that as well)

edit: possibly could be because it's listening on the 'old' port?
Code:
listening websocket p2p port on: 49029
Listening http on port: 49028

Great you got the daemon up and running, not open a new terminal/command propt and do https://github.com/Kennybll/philanthropist#wallet . You need to run both scripts programs.

49029 is for peer to peer networking. This keeps the blockchain intact. 49028 is for the wallet to use. To make sure the daemon is working (from the base folder) goto localhost:49028/address and you should see your public address.

not quite sure on this one xD (tried to PM but your account is too new)

edit: my guess ' 'webpack-dev-server' is not recognized as an internal or external command, '
#2: removed log to avoid clunky-ness I can post again if needed

cd ./wallet
npm install
npm start

I am able to work this on ubuntu.
I can see my balance via http://localhost:49030/?#/
but the private key is not there. Also I truied to send a transaction to my own address and it worked. Is there any address where I can test and send coin?

JustADreamer, try to delete node_modules and npm install again, that's really weird. If that does work try npm install -g webpack-dev-server

CrpytoMan007, I love your name, but if you do: nano ./node/wallet/private_key you will find your private key.

Genius!! Something must've happened the first time around I think it was on my part.
Up and running!

I'm not sure if we're all synced; has anyone else just mined a few blocks and they got erased?
I sent a test transaction to here: http://localhost:49028/address/04f72a4541275aeb4344a8b049bfe2734b49fe25c08d56918f033507b96a61f9e3c330c4fcd46d0854a712dc878b9c280abe90c788c47497e06df78b25bf60ae64

for 42 coins, is this showing for you guys as well?

Maybe Bill Gates will jump on this coin.  Or.. I wonder when Bill Gates will jump onto a coin.  Bill Gates would be number 1 for richest person in the world but he gives away so much of his money that he is number two.  He was number one riches for a long time though...  It would be great to support a coin that Bill Gates supported.

I have again started to mine.
Can you send a test coin - 0450b6c703a3f4a43ccb47e5d56ae7b9b8b8df06b70a8bd6a2f4d89d8314f79a77c71ff27b0174f b03a47f2c559ac31cec33d6d8e52accd1dcb1910d7f8cf20408

send in multiple of 5 , for ex- 5 or 15, etc.

So that it not mixes up with the block reward and I cannot identify :)

I'm so excited for this project, but for now it's on hold until I can figure out what's happening. Maybe I need to code it again.


Title: Re: PhilanthropistCoin - New Altcoin - SAVE THE WORLD
Post by: CryptoMan007 on February 15, 2018, 04:34:40 AM
ok, waiting for it :)

Nice concept...Save the world. I think we should be able to see the charity that will be benefiting from this over time. Good luck on your project.

Hi, I'm very new to this type of wallet. When it says "[object Object]" in the daemon, does it meant that it is mining? When I entered the mining command it didn't show anything and I'm not sure whether I did everything right.

EDIT: Well my balance seems to be increasing, so everything's right I presume?

"an extra 50 PhilanthropistCoin goes to a "charity" address where nonprofits/charities can request funds from."

I wonder who will have control over the wallet in which charity coins are collected, and how will he choose the right institutions or people in need ... And how will he exchange coins for Fiats, because it will probably be necessary?

Dev is fixing the code, check above dev comments and also readme in github :)

looks like the block explorer is working now and the coin is ready to mine.
@Dev : Is the coin launched now ?

Dev stated in OP he will create a voting system for the community to decide..
