Cryptocoin Revival Foundation
Revives promising coins that have been deserted by their developers, but have strong communities supporting them. The foundation is non-profit and aims at increasing the reliability of the cryptocoin economy by providing a stronger basis for new coins. The foundation foremost offers technical assistance, but also wants to help the coins with marketing and communications. Read more about us at cryptocoinrevival.com (http://cryptocoinrevival.com/).

Read about the organization in this original topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576714.msg6294074#msg6294074)!

What the foundation wants to do for GPUcoin:
1. Create new bitcointalk where the foundation is the Dev.
2. Create new github source that can be updated to be ad up-to-date as possible
3. Release new wallets.
4. Elect a new representative of the coin to run the communications.

First we need the following things:
1. Find out if there is actually a need for the take-over of this coin. We will have a poll to see if you agree to this takeover.
2. Want to know what happened to the original developer.
3. Want to know about possible problems with the coin like a large premine or technical problems.

In a week we will decide if the coin is eligible.

Please respond below! :)

Hello Cryptocoin revival foundation.  I am web developer of GPUcoin.  Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can help with this process.  I am willing to invest more time in the project or hand over my piece of the project to another developer.  I assume you know Micryon is the dev for the coin and has been really good about keeping it up-to-date despite the issues we have been having.  I would encourage you to reach out to him as well.

That's great to hear! What do you think is the best direction for this coin to head? I will PM Micro.

To be honest I'm not sure.  There are some ideas floating around our original thread.  Obviously it has to be a community effort.  I would recommend setting up a group effort to reach out to the original owner (Jaymes) and get all the coins that he has.  I might be able to help with this process.

I'm the coin developer.. and owner of current github repo.

It's good that someone is taking over GPUCoin.. I'll be happy to help and assist in any way.

However, you need more of a strategy than just reviving the code.. the code was never dead and has always been maintained.

For promotions, i think it would be great to get someone to own and drive it.

For business angle/use case.. need to be more creative.

I have been very active with, and a strong supporter of, this coin from the start as well. Henrd!x and Micryon can vouch for that at least. I would like to help in any way I can. No huge amounts of technical or marketing skills, but I don't mind some legwork here and there.

Is this still being revived or was it the worlds shortest revival and death ?
