This is something simple I came up with after playing around with a free website designer: http://trypsta7.wix.com/coinoAs far as how to implement all of that onto the actual Coino website, I'll leave that up to those more knowledgeable than I. lol |

First off, good job on stepping up and trying to move the coin forward. I'm not sure how many supporters are left (who still reads this thread) with the expertise necessary to accomplish the things on that list. I do hope there is at least someone out there. Unfortunately, I am merely a miner/investor and that's really as far as my knowledge/skills go so I won't be of much help in any of the projects. However, I will do my part by continuing to mine and support coino in any other ways I can.
I feel like for coino to succeed, we will need to attract the new miners and cryptocurrency investors to the scene. What coino has going for it right now is it's very easy to mine and coins are dirt cheap with a potential to grow in the future. I could help out by advertising as much as I can. Just need to figure out where all the newbies start out lol.
Other than that, how do you guys feel about getting coino on Crypsty? Going back into coino's history, it seems like that's what a lot of former supporters were looking forward to and many, including myself, also felt like it's the determining point for coino's success. I know it'll be a gamble, but what if some of us that are left pool our resources together and try to up vote coino so it gets listed on the exchange? I know it'll be quite an investment, but do you guys feel like it might be worth it? Crypsty is a big exchange, and it might be a good way to get coino noticed.

Indeed, smcardle was the biggest force behind the new Coino team, and without him we can't do much.
I personally haven't heard from him since he was back for a day after his accident.
As much as I hate to say it, I would call Coino dead.
It's interesting that he still seems to be mining coino on the nation-wars pool for at least the past few weeks now. Unless it's someone else using his account. |

Today the wallet on coinoXorg is available. Lead people to make mistake like this is not professional. Why they allow us to download the old one ?
coinoXorg is not controlled by the people in this thread. we've not been able to take over control of that domain/site Coino can be considered dead coin? Network Hashrate: 7.75 MH / s the price has already dropped to 0.. What do those who have bought a lot of coins? Coino had some good things going for it after the new devs took over a few months ago. But lately, development seems to have died down. I know one of the main devs (smcardle) said he had a terrible accident, so he went offline for awhile. However, from the sound of his latest post a few weeks ago, he seems to be okay and was ready to come back, but that was the last we've heard from him in this forum. I think at this point, any updates on what's going on from any of the devs would be helpful. Even if it's just to say "we are still working on keeping the development alive". Otherwise, I'm afraid that eventually every last one of us supporters will give up on this coin. I've been a strong supporter and miner of this coin for months now, but I do agree that as of now, things aren't looking too good for coino. |

After leaving it on for a few hours, the wallet finally synced. Looks like there just aren't a lot of connections to the Coino network (mine is showing 2 connections).

Anyone else having problems with the wallet not syncing?

This is interesting. I remember smcardle mentioning that he is working on a dedicated exchange for Coino that will be based in New Zealand. Not sure if it will involve exchanging coino for fiat.
This new exchange could be something we need. The goal is to make coino accessible to many people and I think having the capability of directly exchanging fiat to coino will help that.
Would definitely like to hear what the devs think about this. Let's have a discussion and consider this as a community. Like XZed said, let's not miss a potentially good opportunity.

Coino only dies when the devs give up on it and no one supports it. I think we're far from that. There are a lot of things at work in the background. It'll just take time.
I hope for that as I have invested a lot in this coin. Now its been almost 6 months since it was launched and more than two months since Community Devs took over, thread is also very quite. Before there were continuous updates but now this has also stopped. I hope the devs are working in the background otherwise it will be a huge blow for me. Continuously updating and posting stuff on this thread without actual results is not good in my opinion. Updates will come as new features are added after they are developed and tested. The thing I like most about this coin is that the new community devs are very professional about it. They don't seem like the type to post random crap and give the community false hope. Speaking of false hope, I also don't mean to give you false hope with my posts. I'm not a part of the dev team and these are just my speculations. I'm sorry to hear about your investment, but of course, no one is forcing you to stick with Coino. The choice is yours if you want to leave or stick with it. As we all know, investments are unpredictable at times. |

Hi People. I must apologise for being away for so long. I went on a little get away and had a rather nasty accident which incapacitated me for a couple of weeks. However, I have now been given the all clear and will be getting back to things slowly over the next week. I have a lot to catch up on with Coin(O) and will be addressing these in the best timely fashion I can. What I would most like to get across is that development around Coin(O) will be continuing Good to be back so hopefully see you around here and in IRC  Oh man, sorry to hear that. Glad you are okay now |

Changing the algorithm to SHA256 for which you can already get cheap ASIC is fairly good. However, I believe that scrypt has a much broader audience compared to SHA256 as it makes sense to use your GPU (or even CPU), which everyone has. That is not the case for SHA256, where you are forced to buy some ASIC equipment to even get started. I don't believe that all people who are new to mining will want to invest in dedicated mining equipment, for several reasons. - Some people simply can't afford to buy mining equipment due to their budget - In case they loose interest in mining, their equipment is worthless to them, and the only option is to sell it (likely for a loss) I believe that the kind of people who will be the first to start mining, are those who are at least slightly techy. Mining is definitely not for everyone just yet. Therefore I'm guessing that cryptos main audience are gamers and geeks, and they are already equipped with mining equipment, which makes it higher likely they will gain interest in mining and actually start doing it, as all they have to do is download some software and create an account at a pool, if not using a p2pool which pays out directly into their (online?  ) wallet. As earlier stated, mining is not for everyone, and I think that there are 3 primary groups of miners: - Geeks - Gamers - Financial people/investors I think that 2 groups are dominating of the 3 mining groups: - Geeks - Financial people/investors The largest group of ASIC owners will most definitely be the financial people/investors. So far gamers doesn't have the big reason to be mining, but as Coino will be integrated into several groups of platforms - including gaming platforms, I believe that gamers will be more interested in mining Coino later on. I agree that changing to anything else than scrypt and SHA256 (all of the current algoritms that is supported by ASIC) is simply buying time, but I think that will give a more fair start, rather than having investors mining all of the coins. Also, when the gamers learn of ASIC's, that will definitely scare them off and might go for other coins for which you cannot get ASICs. One of Coino's goals is to attract new miners - not just getting current miners to switch to another coin. The final end of changing to new algorithms to fight ASICs will be when ASIC is so mainstream that an algorithm switch vote would fail. We do not have plans about staying completely ASIC free, as ASIC is definitely the future, as they are much more (power) efficient. It could even stop before that, if we switch algorithm now, it could also happen to be the only time. You make a valid point there with the major groups of miners nowadays. Looks like our best bet might be to attract more gamers to start mining and trading. Coino is off to a good start with the web wallet and gaming platform. I imagine if I was a gamer and had an incentive to mine, I would definitely put my GPU(s) to use when I'm not gaming. Either that or go buy coins. Therefore, the biggest hurdle is giving those people an incentive. So I see now that changing to an ASIC resistant algorithm might be essential at the moment. I know changing to a new algo and implementing new things take time, but we should start a survey to at least gauge what the rest of the community are thinking. |

Just a thought: Has anyone considered the possibility of switching to the good old SHA-256 instead of one of the newer algos? I mean, if you think about it, bitcoin asics are cheap and widely available now so many miners already own them or can easily get their hands on them (unlike scrypt asics). GPUs are actually pretty expensive and use much more energy. Wouldn't asics increase the security of the network and also raise the mining difficulty making the coin more rare and thus more valuable? I mean look what asics did to bitcoin. Didn't it actually make it a stronger coin? Perhaps bitcoin is an exception since it is the father of all coins. But the fact remains is that it seems to be a natural evolution to have more efficient ways to mine and at higher speeds i.e. asic miners. We can't depend on inefficient GPUs forever can we? Also, since no algo is truly asic resistant, will it be forever a game of cat and mouse as newer asics come out? There's gotta be a stopping point somewhere. There are probably a lot of points that I'm missing but just wanted to throw that thought out there as the community decides on the possibility of switching algo. Not trying to suggest anything. Just wanted to contemplate and stir up some discussion |

I'm down with x11 too as that seems to be what's "in" right now. Look at the recent huge increase in value of darkcoin.
I don't know anything about coding so please excuse my ignorance, but how hard would it be to develop a completely new algorithm? Now that would really give this coin a huge boost. Again, excuse my ignorance. Just a thought I had.

Please take this argument elsewhere guys. Talk about spam...
Anyways, very good to hear about the new upcoming things for Coino. Look forward to see how it all turns out!

So I've just donated about 400 coino to the community wallet by losing in the web wallet slots game lol. Looking forward to more games in the future!
Coming soon :-) Hey I sent you a PM. Just wondering if you've read it |

Just wanted to say the web wallet and connecting online gaming to it is a damn good idea. It's definitely a good step in making use of a cryptocurrency for real world applications. So many other coins out there frankly have no use to them at all other than for trading. This could really become big if prominent gaming companies and the enormous number of gamers out there start to adopt this idea.
You guys are doing awesome as new devs. Keep up the great work!

But where's the fun in sending it to myself? Haha.
Again, good job. Looking forward to more updates.
