Bittrex Message  This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on November 7th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Well Archcoin seems very similar to MarineCoin, same premise, big boats and living on the sea and very similar writing style from the Dev's. The guys that brought you MarineCoin also did the AsiaCoin premine scam (they used the same forum code) and I bet a bunch of others, possibly Whitecoin among others before people fixed their mess. So many of these are soo similar that it is very likely to be the same people or person but I have no names other than the MarineCoin guy is likely from Turkey.

Oh you like Pinkcoin! Maybe they should do a merger with CockCoin and create a new Coin?

I'm not sure how it could be done, maybe we need a visual representation....

I don't think it should have the added bonus of money with it, maybe other incentives? It shouldn't feel like the users are being squeezed for cash or they will quickly leave in droves. I assume it would be more donation based? Where is the source of income coming from? If Bitcointalk had some ad revenue system going on as well maybe they could buy BTC with the ad revenue?

Why not just have a permanent amount of trust in which people can get up/down voted with more weight to senior active members who have been a part of the forums for a long time. If you have an older account that is misusing trust and it gets banned, it takes a long time to get back up to where it was before.

IMO the trust system needs a lot of improvement, maybe it would be good to look into how Silk Road did their trust system too since it worked well in practice.

The benefits are that you retain more coinage without having to go into coin control and select your oldest inputs so it helps as an added bonus for Staking .

Have you ever checked out some of the stuff I've been working on? I've got mod powers and stuff on the Col forums and I've got something like double the posts there than I do here about lots of various stuff. It is really nice having your own forums cause if people annoy you, you can just delete or ban them, maybe you should set up your own forums or even ask Sudo23 or Heat007 on the Col forums if they would be willing to help build you some forums if you paid them. I don't know how to get in contact with them otherwise, they are pretty identity conscious but good honest people.

You wanna team up in some way? Maybe take over Colossuscoin? I dunno, the code is pretty bad but the forums are big and spacious and has a public section, members section, consul section, shoutbox, newsletter function for global mods and is laid out quite well not to mention it has been run for a full year with no issues or drama's. I'm not sure if something like that is too restrictive but in general Sudo has full control and can limit my powers on the forums but I have more power there than I really want or need but only Sudo can add people to the Development Team section or change peoples user group. Would be great to get the coin back up and running, good name, good rep but lots of struggles with development. Also have about 8-9 promo videos and a few hundred pictures and images, marketing strategies etc.

What do you think about something like that? You did say that in a proper scenario that you should only be working in testnet and projects with your friends and not shoving coins out to market as an experiment.

I'm open to suggestions.

You should get a prototype off the ground first, a chicken and the egg problem

There has already been multiple threads about it, there was a Scrypt Ebolacoin and a few joke threads.

Here is an article about donations for Bitcoin to Sierra Leone to help fund aid workers http://www.coindesk.com/sierra-leone-group-diverts-bitcoin-campaign-fight-ebola/

There are other options as well, the Bitcoin miners could choose to exclude those transactions from the Blockchain as well.

So you have no funding but you want people to sign your NDA and work for the product they are producing but you have worked on other products where you flake on the project and start a new one? Why not just use coin2.1 that you did before instead of starting a new one, no developer is going to work without being paid in BTC/NBT/FIAT and good luck trying to raise funds on a low activity account. Maybe it would be better to put together an airtight business proposal and take it to Dragon's Den, I'm sure a few corporate big wigs would be interested jumping into the Crypto scene but I doubt they will be as helpful as some of the people on this thread.

If you have a marking system, you could buy and build accounts in order to boost your rating so you could get some kind of pool of accounts as a paid marking service to boost rep which is not really any different than it is now.

Hopefully someone will take the time and get CockCoin tested, wouldn't want to get an infection from contact....

Where is the POD!?!?! (Proof of Dick)

Is there anything unique to help layers of protection?

Not cool, why do people feel the need to spread hate?

Nxt is written in javascript, tends to be a decent starting point if you want something other than c/c++ but I've heard about a lot of hacks and it's so overly complicated. Bitcoin, litecoin and most Proof of Stake coins are written in C/C++ which is just much easier to code with, less buggy.

That looks great, may I suggest the adding the option of sending using minimal coinage? Then you help preserve your oldest inputs with the most coinage.

I reported him too, mods deleted some of my posts too cause I guess I made some unfunny jokes? Maybe you don't like me posting, I can live with that but this is my favorite thread right now and I'm actually trying to contribute to it unlike most of the rest here. If you self moderated the thread then the same kids are going to go around saying you deleted all their posts and FUD about it.

Edit: Maybe you could have a moderated thread as well?

@Spoetnik

How do you think it could be done where a person has their own coins but limited influence over the funds of the network? Let's be realistic here, everyone plans to sell some coins at some point but then what ways do you think would be best so that a person is guaranteed that they cannot get more than what they own themselves?

For me, I'm all about POS because POW will always create sell pressure on the markets no matter how low the reward so it's simply better not to have it at all. With POS only, all blocks of transactions work like miners on the network, gathering coinage into each of the block until it gathers enough coinage in order to be selected to Stake on the network. Difficulty re targeting then matters alot depending on what your minimum/maximum coinage is along with fees to either be collected or destroyed through stake.

If fees were higher and paid through Stake, then Stakers are paid interest, plus fees of the network that it would be more lucrative to Stake at a lower inflation so it encourages people to Stake their coins. The thing is though that if you have POS only with which you pay fees through Stake is that you can destroy a large portion of coins in one block and have them collected by whoever Stakes the next block, so then does that represent a security hole?

What about if with something like that you could have a massive block of fees destroyed and compensates the entire network evenly over time? Like if say if a bunch of coins are dumped into a tx fee (settxfee) that it adds into the block reward over a month or so, it would work like a share giveback so that when you build infrastructure and transactions increase, so does the rewards. The question would be how to do it properly, possibly fees could be destroyed and then the stake re targets to pay out over time like a floating point number?

Within a PoS network, Exchanges represent one of the largest challenges to overcome as well, the strength of a PoS network rests on reducing the barrier for people to stake their coins over a short period and guarding against exchanges Staking and selling coins and malicious behaviour

I can't say I have all the answers but I am confident that POW is NOT the answer.

Need an icon set? Hal style!









Edit: Yes I made these icons along with the logo I last posted since you asked about it before but I like SZZT's logo more than the one I made, much cleaner (and cooler).

Yeah I think that may be your biggest challenge, keeping the trolls at bay while trying to get work done on it. I've been through a few copies of prototype proof of stake coins myself so I'd like to help you where I can as well. How much do you know about Proof of Stake? I was thinking about pos, with low inflation but a big emphasis on fee sharing through Proof of Stake. TBH, nxt freaks me out, so complicated and so many hacks.

What about some kind of open building challenge of building a hypothetical coin and what it would have and then narrow it down to the basics and work with that?

Yeah you could fork a Blockchain to change the name, it's rewards etc. like hyperstake did except you would want to have a predictable supply over time.

I'm hoping someone will want a larger portion of the Coin (just shy of 2%), you have honest and hardworking Developers on this Coin which is a true rarity around these parts. You have multi-shift technology for anonymous transactions and a very efficient Blockchain.
