Well it was a good run TIPS. Too many coins, too stupid of a name

As much as I like TiPS, I hate to say it... but Darkcoin's winning this race by a long shot and isn't going to fall behind TiPS anytime soon, if ever.

As awesome and admirable the community's efforts are to make this coin work, I just don't see that happening anymore. And before anyone yells out "FUD!", read what I have to say please and rebut any observations and assumptions I've made if you think I'm wrong.

 I've been watching this coin since it first came out and to me, it's past the point where it can be popular. I see barely anybody jumping on the TiPS wagon now, for starters, even with this rebrand launch. Not to mention the fact it's still tied to the "atheist coin" image. I heard someone here mention that the vast majority of the world population doesn't know anything about the "tips fedora" and "atheist fedora" meme. And yes, that is true. But let's face it: where do all of these coin communities start? Internet communities like this one. The first adopters of most, if not all cryptocurrency are avid internet users, and it's those people that know about the meme. The coin's been around for almost 4 months, that is more than enough time to deter people from taking this coin seriously simply because of its name.

It's a damn shame to see this coin falling down after so much has been done to revitalize it. A lot of talented people are behind this coin. I think that the only way to revive the coin and get a lot more usage is if people went out and "evangelized", so to speak, similar to what dogecoin people have done.

I second the part about removing the fedora. Every time I see it mentioned outside of the subreddit on reddit, people think it's a joke. Keeping the fedora is a HORRIBLE marketing move.

This community's inability to come to a consensus quickly enough while the market slumps made me dump my coins for LTC. It wasn't much, only a few million. I'll buy back in when there's SOME consensus and action finally taken by you guys. Seriously, the rift between developer and community here is ridiculous. Get your shit together guys.

Ditch the Fedora name COMPLETELY, guys. More proof that keeping any reference to "fedora" is a negative to us:

From carlishio2 on reddit:

"About a week ago i didn't even know dogecoin was a real thing, i thought it was just a joke like fedora tips"

We most certainly aren't a joke, and I think a lot of people are forgetting about that joke tip bot that tips euphoria on reddit that a lot of people may confuse with TiPS. We NEED to remove fedora from the name altogether. Get a new URL, don't even reference it on the coin.

Nope but it's a laptop; HP Envy w/ overclocked AMD 7850M in an aluminum body design so it runs cool @ 65-67C. Energy consumption is $8.50 a month

The worst thing to do is give up mining! I've only got 140khash/s but I won't stop

A few million; not much but I'm holding for the long run

I exchanged all my DOGE for TIPS on the TIPS/DOGE exchange on CoinedUp! All in baby!

I got a notification alert bubble on my system tray that was completely blank, except for the header that said "network alert". Anyone else get this?

Sweeeeet! Awesome work you guys

1 hour and 3 minutes!

I'm down with it being Total Internet Privacy & Security

I'm busting a gut laughing! xD

Okay, hopefully that's the last delay!


Agreed.

Did the release date get moved back again?

1. Shut your goddamn trap, Johnny. Three words for you: F U, Dickwad.

2. I am in complete support for the rebranding to Total Internet Privacy and Security. That is AMAZING.

About 12 hours ago.

I'm WTB 1m FlappyCoin for 5k DOGE!

Wallet is shady as fuck.
