H2O Coin (Community Takeover)

First of all, thanks to ThisWeeksCoin for giving birth to the idea of a coin aimed at water charities as access to water is still a problem in the world in 2014 and shouldn't objectively be.

Second, this thread is not a relaunch, it's just a new beginning, the premises of the coin stay the same but the management has changed and therefore we need a fresh thread to be able to communicate better with the supporters

In 2014, access to water shouldn't be a problem but it is because a big percent of (-us-) the world's population don't have clean water in their houses, in their villages, in their cities.  ThisWeeksCoin found that http://thewaterproject.org/ accepted Bitcoin(s) as donations and decided to help them. H2O will then focus on their organization and help them as much as we can.  Each month, some of our pools (official pool will contribute) all the fees it collects, it will go towards www.thewaterproject.org  In the long-term, we're aiming to find non-profit organizations and help them to bring clean water to the people who need it.  Be a part of the small percent who actually gives a damn about people's lives outside of the box.  - Number of coins : 2.000.000.000 H2O drops in total ( 2 Billion coins )  - Algorithm : Scrypt Adaptive with -N factor  - Difficulty readjustment algorithm :  Dark Gravity Wave 3  - Pre-mine 2.5% for IPO shares and giveaway/bounty purposes  (From 50 millions in total of premine, 1 million was kept for bounties/giveaways)  - Time per blocks : 1 minute  - Reward per blocks : First month : 2000 H2O (43000 blocks) 11 following months : 1600 H2O (525960 blocks) Year 2 : 800 H2O Year 3 : 800 H2O Year 4 : 800 H2O Year 5 and so on : 100 H2O Explorer : http://explorer.embargocoin.com:2750/chain/H2Ocoin  The Water Project www.thewaterproject.org  - donate : https://thewaterproject.org/donate-start  - about them : http://thewaterproject.org/contact-us  - H2O fundraiser : https://thewaterproject.org/donate-pfp?fundraiserid=wp_26987&type=Personal+Fundraising+Page&pageName=H2O+Coin%5C%27s+Fundraising+Page  - 2014-04-08/2014 : 17.5 BTC donation sent to www.thewaterproject.org (50% of the total IPO, as promised).  --- Proof : Statement from the official thewaterproject's twitter : https://twitter.com/TheWaterProject/status/453555910896812032  Dev side  - owlhooter (c++ abilities, knowledge in qt, security, protocol, algos)  - tsohG aka Ghostie aka Ghostbackwards (c++ abilities, knowledge in qt, security, protocol, algos)  - drewdrew (c++ abilities, wallets compiling(mac, win, linux, project overseer))  - CoinTweak (c#, php, java, mysql : block explorer, richlists, websites)  Community side  - Black Tongue (me:p) (knowledge in design and websites, management of the ANN, the twitter and the reddit)  - Jake Shake (manage giveaways)  - Gatt13 (benevolent donator to the cause !)  And all the supporters !  The team is ever expanding, if you feel like you can help, feel free to come, you'll be welcome).

Hi there,

Following H2Ocoin's owner (too busy IRL) and dev (finished work) departures, a few supporters (me included) decided to keep the journey going by taking over the coin. There is plenty of work to do : nearly dead hashrate, value next to none, site not up to date, cadaverous reddit and so on... This alt's current state is bad and we have to roll up our sleeves because we want to rebuild it believing in this coin's purpose (as a charity one).

Finding the charity aspect slightly under-valued and the current "anon - x11" hype a little too much, we would like to rebuild this alt because there is a true potential in this segment. Many alts have foundations, donate to NGOs or create charitable events but I'd like a coin with a donation process to its core and not as a side event. I think the previous owner had a great idea with this coin but I believe he didn't fully went with his idea because there's more to be done, IMO.

Otherwise and to be more complete, there is another existing altcoin in the "water charity" segment which name is Clean Water Coin (WATER) which surfed the h2o's wave a few weeks after the PRE-ANN early march, but thanks to a more dedicated and conscientious owner is nowadays best known (better value, bigger community) and more solid than H2O.

I appreciate what they are doing because they overcame some setbacks which could have been bad for them but managed to get back really well and are now at cruising speed. On top of that, they have a good marketing image ! But to me, as H2O was the first on that segment I decided to support H2O (principles I guess  ) and that's why I'm looking for one or few devs to get the coin back on tracks. I also need to state that there is no beef between the two camps and that we can coexist.

New community dev team has plenty of ideas and already has a plan to reorient H2O as a charity coin to its core and not just it being a gimmick. But none of us know how to code in c++ (well at least, not wallet, blockchain and security stuff) and that's why we need devs to complete our team.

What we wish is at least one dev which will be interested in the project first (details and plan by PM), able to code, compile and having knowledge and skills to implement algos and security protocols. We'll wish to build something long-term, therefore we'll need somebody who will be dedicated and who won't quit once paid (which happened already). I don't know the specifics and it's possible that I'm not accurate enough in my description of the job but wholly, we need somebody able to build a coin. 
Obviously, the dev will be paid as the job is difficult (it will up to him to decide whether he will be paid in H2O or BTC).

About myself, I can code html, css and some php and I'm not bad in Cgraphic design and CAD but I have no knowledge in other CS langagues...
If needed, you can check my post history and see that I mostly posted in the H2O ANN and that I tried to push the coin towards the charity side above since early may when I started being a little worried about the coin's future (even if there had been a 17.5 BTC donation to thewaterproject which convinced me of the coin's potential). I'm not interested by creating a new coin to surf whatever hype and that's why we want to rebuild the coin instead of creating a new one.

If interested or more details needed (about me, the team, the pay, the alt's history or our plan), you can join me by PM where I could be able to give you more infos (which I don't want public atm obviously, competition we know that :p). You can also join the H2O IRC (#h2ocoin on Freenode) where you would be able to directly discuss with the team and introduce yourself.

Thanks a lot 

Bonjour,

Suite à la défaillance de "propriétaire" (owner ?) de H2Ocoin et au départ du dev, quelques supporteurs (dont moi) ont décidé de continuer l'aventure en reprenant la machine. Il y a beaucoup de travail car le hashrate est quasi-mort, la valeur est proche du néant, le site est pas à jour, le reddit est silencieux etc... Bref, l'état de l'alt est des plus mauvais et donc il faut se retrousser les manches car nous souhaitons tout reconstruire puisque nous trouvons le principe de "charity coin" intéressant.

Trouvant que l'aspect charité des altcoins est légèrement sous-exploité et que la hype "x11 + anonymat" actuelle est peut-être trop importante, on aimerait réussir à reconstruire cette alt car je pense qu'il y a un vrai potentiel de ce coté là. Beaucoup d'alts ont des fondations, font des donations à des organismes de charité ou organisent des événements charitables mais j'aimerais que le coté donation soit au cœur de la chose. Je trouve que le proprio précédent n'est pas allé au bout de son idée et que c'est vraiment dommage car il y a là un bon potentiel, selon moi.

Autrement, pour être plus complet, il existe un autre altcoin sur le créneau du nom de "Clean Water Coin" (WATER) qui avait surfé sur l'idée de H2O quelques semaines après la PRE-ANN début mars mais qui grâce un proprio plus concerné et plus consciencieux est désormais mieux connue (valeur plus importante et véritable communauté) et plus solide que H2O.

J'apprécie leur travail car ils ont surmonté quelques difficultés qui auraient pu leur être fatales mais ils ont réussi à remonter la pente de belle manière et sont désormais en vitesse de croisière. En plus, ils ont une belle image marketing ! Cependant comme le fait que H2O avait été la première sur le créneau, j'ai décidé de soutenir cet alt (par principe :p) et c'est la raison pour laquelle je recherche un ou plusieurs devs pour remettre le bateau à flot. Je tiens aussi à dire tout de suite que nous ne sommes pas en guerre contre eux et que nous pouvons aisément coexister.

Nous avons plein d'idées pour réorienter le coin comme un véritable "charity coin" (et pas juste un gimmick) mais les supporteurs avec lesquels je suis ne savent pas coder en c++ (ou du moins pas pour ce qui concerne la wallet) et c'est pour cela que je recherche un ou plusieurs devs pour compléter notre équipe (3 américains, 1 anglais et 1 français (moi) actuellement).

Ce que je souhaite, c'est un (ou des) devs intéressé(s) par le projet (que je détaillerai plus en MP) capable de coder une wallet et la compiler et qui ait des connaissances pour l'implémentation des algorithmes et de protocoles de sécurité (POW, POS etc.). Je ne connais pas les détails techniques et il est possible que je présente mal les choses mais globalement qui soit compétent pour le développement d'un crypto  

A mon sujet, je sais coder en html et css, j'ai quelques notions de php, je suis pas trop mauvais en CAO et PAO mais malheureusement j'ai zéro connaissance dans les autres langages infos. Vous pouvez voir dans mon historique de posts que j'ai majoritairement posté dans l'ANN de H2O et vous pouvez même voir par ailleurs que j'ai toujours poussé le coin vers un coté plus charitable surtout depuis début mai où j'ai commencé à m'inquiéter du bon-vouloir du proprio malgré la donation avérée de 17.5 BTC à thewaterproject. Je ne suis pas intéressé par la création d'un nouveau coin pour surfer sur une quelconque hype et c'est pour ça que je ne crée rien de nouveau mais que je veux remettre sur les rails le coin actuel.

Pour plus de détails (sur moi, sur l'équipe, sur la rémunération, sur l'histoire de l'alt, sur notre projet), vous pouvez me joindre par MP, je pourrais vous transmettre plus d'infos (que je ne souhaite pas forcément publiques, avec la concurrence, on ne sait jamais :p). Vous pouvez aussi rejoindre le chan #h2ocoin sur Freenode où l'on pourra se parler directement avec les autres membres de la team.

Merci beaucoup
