Will the price ever be $1k again on Stamp?

How long will that take? Wondering if it will be worth the wait. Why and when, or why not?

I think it will hit 1000 again sooner than most expect  Wink

We have made headway!!!!

First I would like to publicly apologize to Fayens.  I made him a mod to the Reddit site so he could spruce up the site.  I didn't' discuss this with the dev team and they revoked both of our access and pretty much called him out on it.  Fayens, I'm sorry you had to go through that.  I hope you can forgive me and the devs and are willing to come back and help. Smiley  Your coin is awesome.  Please accept my token of gratitude.

Thank you to vir6, cryptostoner, and RSPS for their full support in our irc chat "discussion".

We spoke to the devs and they are uneasy in the name change, and have taken a stand that the name will not be changed.  (Still no word from invisibel, though).

HOWEVER....


They have compromised and have agreed to let us take the reins for marketing if and only if we market the coin as TiPS with (a.k.a. FedoraCoin).  I think that's fair... and I really don't see an issue with it.  We're rebranding but also letting the customer know that the coin is also known as FedoraCoin.


That being said, we now have a green light to proceed as TiPS (a.k.a. FedoraCoin). 


There is another graphic artist nerd_name working on the advertisement of this coin.  Here is some of his art work.

I think we should bring him into the mix and tweak his vision to fit more in line with TiPS.

Here are the links to his work:

All major decisions and correspondence should occur here (and not this BitcoinTalkThread)
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=tips


Please join and frequent the site if you want to impact major decisions.  jtbcoins...  that means you Smiley  I nominated you to be our marketing leader. Smiley

That is perfect, but what about Fayens coinlogo:



This would basically mean that we can't use it, is that right? That's kinda sad because I thought that this logo is totally awesome.

Alright, we decided to collect 0.3 BTC to get an article on cryptocoinsnews.

For your information 0.3 BTC is around 30 Millions TIPS at the moment.

We need to send a rough draft to cryptocoinsnews and they will write it, here are some points we think it's important to be in the article, feel free to add anything :

- Coin mixing as it is our unique feature as of now
- the tipping aspect of tips
- large number of coins, fair launch, no premine
- kimoto gravity well diff algo
- Maybe we should also say it's the 2nd most profitable coin to mine
- Growing community
- We need to mention withfedoraco.in and what they are doing for the community with their great service !

Also it would be great if someone with a perfect english could send the email (it's more serious)

Here is the donation page : http://fedora-foundation.net/advertisment.html

Thanks everyone.

I also think that's a good idea. The more exposure tips get, the better.
For a start, that site isn't bad I'd say. As we get more and more articles written about tips, larger news sites might be more inclined to also
publish articles about tips. But for a start, cryptocoinsnews is quite good.
225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ Coin anonymizer launched! on: February 20, 2014, 03:35:14 PM
Theres panic buying, panic selling and now theres panic holding. I think Im just panic holding because I believe the name tips is the best name for a coin in the real world. Am I being delusional holding onto tips because the longer I'm waiting to here from Invisible the stronger I feel that fedora is going to remain.

I'll be selling at a huge lose too, but I'm also missing out on other coins that are going up in value due to having a marketing strategy  and team. A team that know about marketing and isn't programers trying to do it.

I'd hold on to my tips. I made the mistake before of selling coins that were much worse off than this coin, and guess what. They went up like tenfold.
Again, coins that were much worse off than this one right now. Tips is gonna skyrocket soon enough, as soon as we organize this stuff, get the Invisibel to appoint someone who
makes marketing decisions without him being around, start a massive marketing campaing, tips is gonna get big.

They ideas are all there, laid out even now. The community is strong and full of motivation.
Now, as soon as we get the go, we'll start sending this rocket to the moon.
Not because it is easy. But because it is hard! And because we can do it  Smiley

You are right. It is taken for crap  Angry

I don't want people to confuse with TIPScoin.

Is it possible to change it yet? Maybe like "TIPS - The Internet Payment System"

Just my words a few pages ago.  Grin

We need invisibel. Why isn't he responding?  Huh
Nothing will happen without him...

Well his name is Invisibel, right? Maybe he has become, well....invisible  Grin Grin
Ok, that was stupid but it had to be  Cheesy

Nice man, nice! Powerful become, you have!
Now we basically need some dev stepping up and giving the green light. We need the green light now, an we can really start promoting the new tips with the new logo  Smiley

Thanks my friend! I smell victory and triumph coming our way!
There is lot of potential and new territory where all this can go, success is now just a matter of hard and organized work. And I think with the good devs doing the amazing core work, and then the active community and the amazing skills that have shown up, TIPS will be strong and very successful and more importantly, do really useful service in the world which is the ultimate goal I believe. not short term gains, but long term success and services.

It is already taken for crap -.- Unfortunately.

there is this one, not ideal but at least its owned by one us now
http://www.reddit.com/r/tipsCoin/new/

Like I wrote there, it's not tipsCOIN.
Good to have a subreddit, but confusing to others.Sound like a completely new coin.

somebody suggested 'TIPS - The Internet Payment System', I suggest this would be best, and maybe add (Fedoracoin previously) temporarily to remove confusion. Then put the link in the old subreddit to redirect the readers to the new page.

Yes, why not make a subreddit with 'TIPS - The Internet Payment System' instead of just TIPS, which apparantly is already taken. The redirect from the old subreddit is also a good idea.
The one responsible for the reddit here could get started right away if we had the approval of the Dev. Let's get this done people !
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ Coin anonymizer launched! on: February 20, 2014, 12:41:20 PM


Yes i posted to fast, paying MINTPAL to get listed is not a very good idea.

But for the article it seems to be a good idea

Agreed! The more articles are written about tips, the higher our exposure. This will bring us more than get listed on some quite new and yet unknown exchanges.

The guys from cryptocoinsnews just wrote me after I asked them what info they need and if we should write a rough draft for the article:

"As much info as possible yes. Write a rough draft, that would be good.
BTC address: 1LUS8zQv4SJQ2ddS1w2eeXQ1MhdevtE9KB"

That is their btc adress, they need a total of 0.3 BTC. We could send the BTC to vir6s btc adress (1FzUzgxqjK6T9RKcCkPA9jT8JHbzuBSx8z) and he then sends the btc to cryptcoins news?
Vir6, would you agree with that procedure?
I could in the mean time write a rough draft for the article.

What exactly would we want to mention?

I say in that article we should emphasize:
-Coin mixing as it is our unique feature as of now
-rebranding of the name to tips, show our new logo
-the tipping aspect of tips
-large number of coins, fair launch, no premine
-kimoto gravity well diff algo

What else?



I am sure this is a very good idea, I think we can collect 0.3 btc's. I can exchange some cryptsy points for btc's. It won't be too much but if all of us put a small amount we can reach 0.3 easily. A good idea also could be to make a fund to collect some millions of TIPS and make give aways. Let's say put 10 mill together or something like that and make giveaways of 10k to promote the coin and use it for TIPS. Anyone who owns a webpage for any busiiness and have any TIPS could have an API that accepts TIPS for donations. I don't know if there is any API for this but maybe the devs could make it.

+1, I would also chip in for the 0.3BTC and bounties.

229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ Coin anonymizer launched! on: February 20, 2014, 11:42:43 AM
Hello,

I am following TIPS constantly because I can see that it has a good dev team and it's behind people that supports the coin and puts effort on it.

I was looking some posts regarding to pay some btc to add it into some exchanges. What I would say about this issue is that yes, cryptorush already has it, and having it in mintpal wouldn't make a big difference. It's almost newer than cryptorush and its volume is similar or lower. Looking more into this, I would suggest if we get to the point of paying any exchange to add it is to put together enough funds to add it to a better exchange, let's say bter or cryptsy for tips/btc. I don't know if any of those accepts any kind of payment to make sure it's added. I suppose they don't because otherwise some ideas like this one would have come up.

But adding it to mintpal is gonna cost us some btc's which I am not sure if will be worth.

One more thing also is that it shouldn't take too much time to choose basic things as logo's and stuff like that because to the new people who comes into the thread that seems that we are just in the beginning as we are taking 10 pages to choose a logo and TIPS is been alive for quite longer. Having said this, I would say that the last one looks very attractive and quite pro, it looks like it's been made by a person who has knowledge on logos and has taken some time to make it.

Another thing, the name is important and I would say that it stands better for TIPS than Fedora. Fedora has been a defeat and people who look at it is very aware that a brand has to be renewed to make sure and let new joiners see that this is pointing in a different direction and we want to forget about the previous steps that were made. Besides Fedora doesn't look like a really attractive name. If I told someone who is outside of cryptoworld about Fedora he/she would say WTF?? Ok freak, come with a different weird story next day. That previous thing sounds bad, but cryptocurrency is the future, and it will be pointing to the average person who hasn't got knowledge on codes and computers and all that. We want to make something that can be used for everyone, and I am not talking about TIPS, I am talking about the whole world of cryptos. I don't want to compare but why doge has had so much success. Because it's not about technical issues. Technical issues are important to those who are worried about having their money safe and anonymous, but TIPS at the moment has to be more worried about good marketing and expanding than tech things because even if they are a big progress which is a big progress, average people usually don't give a damn thing about these feautures.

Yes i posted to fast, paying MINTPAL to get listed is not a very good idea.

but nothing goes without invisibels approval and rough draft.
So I guess we'll have to wait until he shows up.

We need to ask invisibel politely to choose one additional person responsible for such decisions,
and having a final word on all this- just in case he is not around and some decision needs to be made.

We cannot afford waiting more than 24hrs for such things. Coin mixers are already around the corner,
while we cannot decide what is our final logo/name/graphic design, whatever- it is getting pathetic.
It is like all the developer's hard work- to get the whole thing working on time- is going to waste.

Our name and brand need to stand for something, and to attract some investors too.
Besides that it must be technologically innovative and fun to use.
If we won't get past those initial stages soon, all our efforts will mean shit, and soon to be forgotten under the layer(s) of dust.

This is the race gentlemen, if we are not moving forward, we are moving backward.

Totally agreed, this is costing us valuable time.
While debating about final approval of the logo, etc, we could already have several articles written about us, propagate the new tips logo and rebranding, spread the word about the coin mixing.
It is taking way too long, and I fear other coins might steal us the show meanwhile. We definitely need someone for such decisions.

I am so looking forward to the day when this whole Mt Gox odyssey will end.
It will truly be a grand day for bitcoin. Bitcoin, freed of this weight dragging it down, can continue to grow.
I think this might be even better for bitcoin in the long run, than getting rid of silk road.
Mt Gox has become the cancer of bitcoin, its plague if you will, unnecessarily delaying its ultimate triumph.
232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ Coin anonymizer launched! on: February 20, 2014, 09:56:22 AM
But in case the other crypto news sites don't reply it would be a good start I suppose.
Far better than no article at all?

Also, is there a good writer amongst us who would be willing to write an article about tips
and emphasize our coin mixing uniqueness?

Yes sure it's still good

But we need to ask for donation then, we are about to buy votes to get on MINTPAL too so i will not be able to give BTC for both sorry.

I would be willing to donate a bit myself for the cryptocoinsnews article and organize a donation for the remaining btc.

What we would need for this article is the approved logo, with final approval from invisibel.
Then maybe Invisibel himself would be willing to summarize all relevant points and features about tips which we could then forward to cryptocoins news.
Or I could try to write an article myself based on Invisibels summarization, but nothing goes without invisibels approval and rough draft.
So I guess we'll have to wait until he shows up.

I got a short answer from CryptoCoinNews (crypto@cryptocoinsnews.com):

Dear Kadz,

We can do promo articles for 0.3 BTC per article.



Funny, I even now wanted to post the very same thing  Grin
I also got a reply from them, every single word in that reply email was the same.

I don't think it would be a problem to find 10 people here who would contribute 0.03 btc each for this noble cause?
I certainly would.
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ Coin anonymizer launched! on: February 19, 2014, 11:53:14 PM


I'll try contacting some crypto news sites, maybe they would want to write an article about tips.
We just have to push the coin mixing feature really hard now lest other coins will steal us the show.




Good luck with that only "bitcoinmagazine" answered me but they didn't wrote about us.

But if they receive a lot of emails about TIPS they will take a look at it...

I just now wrote an email to cryptocoinsnews.com and cryptonerd. Let's see how that turns out.
The more people write them emails, the better.
Bitoinmagazine would be nice, I'll try and send them something too.
There must be a way to bring one of these sites to write an article about tips.
How are the other coins getting these sites to write articles about them?

Others coins are getting articles because of differents things : innovations / big price increase / fast growing community / mass adoption / ...

Anyway here are some websites that might write about us

http://cryptolife.net/
http://www.coindesk.com/
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/
http://crypto-news.com/
http://cryptosource.org/
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/
http://newsbtc.com/

Ah great. That's a good list, I'll contact them.
So, let me go through this list. Innovations: Check (coin mixing)
Big price increase: We had one in the past when tips rose from like 5 Litoshi to 150. Then we hit cryptsy and went down, but still way above from two months ago. So half-check Smiley
Fast growing community: Check.
Mass adoption: On the way Wink (Payment processor in the works) So half-check!

Come on, that's looking good! Out of those 4 criteria we have at least 2+2*1/2=3 !  Ha !
We will get them to write something about tips Smiley

Payment processor is complete

AND PLEASE HOLD ALL MOVEMENT.  We still have some of the core group against this idea.  (I was revoked my reddit mod access).  Although the name has been changed in the title and on the main page we should wait for invisibel to give us his blessings before we go... "balls out".  

So please let's not get started yet.  We have to make sure everyone is on board.  invisibel giving us his sanction will put all of this conflict to rest.

We still need the wallet and the reddit site to reflect the new changes or else new users will be confused.  I appreciate the energy, but we need a process in place to accept new users.  Right now it's not in place, it's just confusing and will turn people off.

Ok, you're right. Maybe I was a bit too energetic about getting started. Let's wait for Invisibels blessing.

Awesome dude! So we have our logo!

I'm no important guy or any dev, but I think that I can announce:


THAT IS THE NEW LOGO OF TIPS!


Spread it out in the world!


WOAAAA, this logo is just awesome !!
Great work Fayens! It has simplicity and cleanness, it's just great!
I think we can all agree that this is the logo we've been looking for Smiley

Edit: clarifying post

Why does there have to be two opposing activists?

Why can't you combine both themes of "financial tip" and fedora hat tip?

"tip of the hat to you sir", is still acknowledging someone rendered a good service.

upside down fedora can be equated to a tip jar.

Why can't the fedora hat be included in the logo.  In fact, for recognition purposes, I think it SHOULD be included in the logo.

Please define "Financial Tip" and "Fedora Hat Tip" to us please.  What would be your vision?




Well that logo is awesome !!!
It is clean, has TIPS in it, and also the hat Smiley

And I totally agree, rebranding the name to TIPS is an absolute must.
This Fedora/Tips confusion, well... it confuses people.
And I have to say, I also like TIPS as an acronym for Total internet privacy and security.
