Karmacoin.

I tried to check my Nyancoin balance at Nyancha.in, but received the following message: "I'm sorry, this address has too many records to display."

Is the Nyancha.in block explorer really that limited in scope? I've never seen anything like this before.

Not to be negative or anything, but how does this coin not infringe on Donkey Kong rights?

With all due respect to whomever first proposed these graphics, under no circumstances should Clipart be used as the Karmacoin logo (see http://openclipart.org/detail/83479/cartoon-elephant-by-14thwarrior). It shows a lack of creativity.

Come to think of it, the wallet even uses this icon, doesn't it?

Why this thread is doomed to fail.

1. Curious Misspellings



2. Random Capitalization

JohnyBigs:

"Yes let's hear the Credit Cards take 180 day confirms."
"Should I play some Board Games?"
"... will point out Hard Drives will keep up!!!"


MikeyVeez:

"The Government"
"And no Banks at first"
"...they are still centralized by Oracles of the world."

3. Phrasing Choices

JohnyBigs:

"...because of reason #1."

MikeyVeez:

"Reason #1 is already coming into fruitition..."


4. Username

Note the similarities between the usernames JohnyBigs and MikeyVeez (syllable count, "type" of name, etc.)

Also, the usernames were created within days of one another, and both reside in the same time zone.

5. Anger Management

The similarities of the overall writing style and tone between the two users are exceedingly clear. No direct quotes are even necessary, just choose 1 post from each and observe the anger.

5. Conclusion

JohnyBigs = MikeyVeez = troll.

I'm sure some of us (myself included) are wondering how you got to be this way. It takes quite a lot of unmanaged emotion to claim that "digital currency in general has a sinister purpose." Were you recently burned by a bitcoin transaction? Did you have some coins on Mt. Gox?

Or perhaps the wound is deeper? Recent breakup with a significant other? Is your family life doing alright?

It takes a lot of anger, at both yourself and at others, to be the way you are. I wish you the best.

This logo is awesome.

I loved that one too (august25, you should submit yours to the subreddit thread!). It was definitely the most polished and logo-like of them all. The only real complaints that some people had (that I didn't necessarily agree with) could easily be remedied (eyelashes, color, etc.)

This one's pretty good, but it seems we've come full circle to the cute elephant design (initiated by august25, whose design I also liked).

Also, it looks like it says "Kook" with the K's by the elephant's feet...

This isn't the first time MintPal has been egregiously faulty. A few days after their launch they lost 40 BTC due to a bug in which users could exponentially withdraw BTC (one user took advantage of this and pulled 40 BTC).

I agree...the difficulty swings are quite annoying.

How come? Also, what would a relaunch entail?

It's amusing: that 1 group is probably excited that they've mined so much (and expect Doge-like success), but in reality they are just killing the coin. 

Curious, are there any plans to implement the Kimoto Gravity Well? This may be a good idea considering how young the coin still is (similarly, I saw an early implementation done by the Karma Coin dev.)

Sorry if this has already been addressed in this thread -- I may have missed it.

Are you serious, uiunavie? And exactly what have you been doing with all of your time when it comes to helping out on this coin?

There's a lot more work involved in fostering a coin than you realize, and the developer has been doing a great job thus far. Sorry if they haven't been working fast enough to satisfy your needs (making a quick buck, presumably).

I agree. It's way too easy to get loads of coins now for practically nothing. Without an appropriate distribution, this coin will go nowhere. (Part of the reason Dogecoin took off was due to the community giving out coins without second thought.)

That worked. Thanks!

I receive the following error when trying to update:

Unpacking karmacoin (from karmacoin-gravity-amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing karmacoin-gravity-amd64.deb (--install):

Does the previous wallet need to be uninstalled before installing this? If so, do I simply replace the newly created wallet.dat file with my old one?

I agree.

So is there no affiliation between the two?

That is, is /r/karmacoin for a different Karmacoin? If so, any word on how this happened?

Who knows, but thus far, the developer is doing a great job working on the coin and giving the community regular updates. Much more active and professional than a lot of the other coins, and it's only three days old. At this rate, it will probably hit Cryptsy.
