Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,

I am an experienced developer and instead of cloning another coin and creating yet another alt, I thought it might be easier and make more sense to take over a coin where the dev no longer has time to support.

I have skills in crypto and web development (website, html5 wallets, online exchange work, pools, etc.)

Please do not send me offers to sell me a coin. If there is no one willing to hand off their old project, I will clone a coin instead.

Thanks crypto community!

InteresteD!

I wouldn't recommend you do that. Especially now while entire crypto scene is bleeding.

I have development skills that far exceed most of the developers in this industry. I can bring something fresh and innovative to the industry. I am looking for a long term project.

Here is a decent coin that was abandoned by the developer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=597006.0 (Black Dragon Coin)

It looks like someone/some team may have picked it up already. Maybe you can work with those guys.

Check BurnerCoin. It has lot of potentials.

Very nice initiative. I'll follow the evolution.  :)

PhiCoin was actually a cool coin but seems to be let down by his creator

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=449104.0

Well, the market in bear mode, and specially now that people are focused on all those empty promises driven by sheer greed.  
But if you do this, it'll be pretty cool and if you need anything, just let me know, I'll even host a node for free ;).

Thanks! Ideally I'm looking for a 0% premine, no ICO, fair launch coin  :)

I would suggest Animecoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=749541). It's a good idea for a cryptocurrency, IMHO. And it's been abandoned by it's dev long ago. The community love that coin, and it's sad to see it slowly dying.

PMd you  :)

Oh, good old fair launch POW coins, me likesssss

well it isnt really a one man show, it need some decent team to work one coin :D i hope you get what you are searching for , best of luck

+1 you need a team.

Wow, I take it you never recovered your account... Ever get a reply from mods?

So, it has to be a dead coin? Or it could be even a coin which hasn't launched yet? :)

Don't touch already failed coins .They failed for a reason. Better focus your skills on a new project.

look at ebt - the community would be seriously greatful to get the coin fixed.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437660.1800

other than that there are plenty coins that could be taken over. Maybe even corgicoin which will make you rich if you can implement merged mining with doge. Dev seems not have enough time for it but can be contacted.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444700.1540

If you need more suggestions let me know.

Best is to take over a coin wich has a community. So this guy is not right ->
 
if it has a community it's a good idea to take it over. It's win-win.

Every coin is different and has different history.

there are more than enough abandoned coins which looks for developer

but many of them just won't accept anyone to replace the developers
or investors stopped caring, and become 'haters' and 'bagholders' of the coin. and don't want anything to do with it

Check out new coin that was just launched OMG coin / great premise constantly going UP but the dev doesn't have experienced team so you might build one

You should look into ORA. Dev just did the bolt, no ICO, and it's going to be a NXT monetary system coin when the MS gets launched.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=620518.msg9695651#msg9695651

to be fair if u take over a coin ( plz also look @ its distribution )
sins most abandoned coins ( have very poor distributions )
noting kills a coin more as 1-3 peeps holding 60-70% of the coins XD

Get in touch with OMG dev, maybe you could colaborate on something cool. Picking up abandoned coin is not best idea because of the baghodlers. Rather become part of a new coin's team.

MAMM Mammothcoin

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=635751.0

I would suggest MAMMOTH COIN . This coin is fantastic, it is fastest coin send/receive. It has supply 6.5 million approximately .
SuperCoin and MAMMOTH COIN has absolutely same technology. Mammoth is open source. This coin has great potentional. Please have a look . https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=635751.0

Sure, that's normal. :)

People believe in some projects, but in many cases they are deceived.

Ideally, the cryptocurrencies should not depend on individual developers, as their communities should be enough to supply the needed manpower, but as most of the people who have arrived to this market (during the "boom") are coding illiterates this bad situation ends up happening.

Unfortunatelly, It can happen to any cryptocurrency, without exceptions.

Mewn?

+1, joining ORA would be a very wise career move.

Karma coin always looking for new devs. Pm me.

Instead of taking over a failed worthless coin, why not contribute to successful currencies?

You should consider joining an existing team! It's hard to start one by yourself. It's a lot more work than just developing a coin.

I feel "taking over a coin" will never work, but lending a hand to serve the common good of the currency might.

If you're looking for a real challenge, I suggest Community Coin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=558319.0

This one was white-hot back in its day, but the dev really bobbled the ball. The last few pages are chock-full of people who actively want someone to get it rolling again. But that said, as of the last few months the once-mighty "Community" has been little more than a rump.

So reviving this "has been" would really be a challenge...

Thank you Kenny.

Well, ORA may need someone to be in the development team. The direction it is going to take and your interest appears to be in the same path. Please take your time to read the link kenny posted above to understand what is happening atm better. If you are familiar with Java.

.

Sure. That woud be a better idea. I am sure all the great successful cryptocurrencies are nowadays in need of people like you, KidCrypto.

I'd suggest you join the Darkcoin community at https://darkcointalk.org

Do your best!

OP: Have you researched BitShares? You can actually be paid through the protocol as a delegate if you present a project to the community you want to work on to support the BTS ecosystem and the community at large believes in your abilities and project idea. To be a paid delegate, you must be voted into the top 101 active delegate slots. Each BTS == 1 vote, and holders of BTS are able to vote for the delegates they want through the client. 100% pay rate delegates are currently making roughly ~$2500 at the current market cap.

One example of a project that needs to be done is building integration to the various open source ATMs like Lamassu.

Maybe take over is a strong word?

I made a whole post about this regarding ColossusCoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=842940.0

I am looking for experienced coding help to remake the coin and start fresh. You would already have support from the core community, coding help from me, resources to a few other coders and exchanges, video and marketing production, already made forums and website.

I'm sure it would be COLOSSUS! We could do some Colossus give away's, even marvel's Colossus would agree that it has the most marketable name in the industry.

Hit me up if you are interested.

Is this the same Kid Crypto (dev of LXC) that works with Bobsurplus and Gekko?

If so, are you guys looking to run a different set of scams since your ICO luck has run out?  I guess the next step in running a constant scam would be to take established coins, put all your current development behind it, and make it look like a successful revamp.  In the meantime, you goons are collecting coins on the cheap, only to pump and dump on others.  I'm sure that's where this is heading.

Good luck with that!

i suggest u take over bitcoin
it have been failing big time lately
price crashing, and lots of scammers around it.

lol this coming from you   :-X

find a moribund coin with a somewhat alive community (bag holders) buy as cheap as possible. use the community (unknowingly) to advertise the scam hype it as the second resurrection in human history popup the coin and dump it hard. kill it for a second time and for good  :D

That would be not noble at all!

Sad if someone has got the knowledge and ability to help and make a difference, but would prefer to use their potential to harm others.

But, well, humans can be so weird...

Please join is at Sativacoin (STV) :) We have recently taken the coin over as a community and progress is moving along quickly. With your help we can become the trusted and most valuable coin in the mj sector. I have reached out to many merchants, exchanges, and services and have received a very positive response. Please visit our new thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=874071 and do not hesitate to contact me!

Thanks for your time,

If coin is abandoned, most probably it has not got a good reputation. Hard work IMO. Anyway, good luck.

I see where you are coming from but a strong community is what is fundamental for a coin's success. In less than a week on askcoin.net/votes we have tallied over 1000 votes! Our community is strong and we have a bright future ahead of us ;)

Totally agree. But most abandoned coins are bad. And 1000 votes in one week can be done by 1 person only.

I agree most are. That sure would take a long time for one person though haha ;) With further progress, hopefully you will consider STV!

Perhaps you would be interested in joining the Quarkbar Dev team. We have taken over the coin in March and implemented some new features. Perhaps you have some suggestions?

You can check it out here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587457.0

No that is definitely not me.

Thanks to everyone for posting information here and sending me PMs. Unfortunately I've been overwhelmed with people trying to get me to "take over" a coin they are bagholding. I have no problem with that except I need github access. So to be clear I am looking for a hand off from a former dev who doesn't have enough time or someone to give me the access. Ideally I would buy up maybe 10% of the coin for cheap, nothing too greedy as we need to have a strong community backing with long term holders.

I am sorry I'm unable to respond to all the PMs.

But your "fresh and innovative..." somehow requires cloning one or take over and existing one? I am really impressed... please keep me informed of where you land, ok? I will be anxious to invest a huge amount in such a promising project...

By the way, do you realize that there's no such a thing as "long term" ion crypto? It is an anachronism in terms, actually. Much like one night stand and long term relationship... get it?
