I think a lot of people lost interest with the whole phoenixcoin (I think), worldcoin, feathercoin initiative

is that what it was

cannot remember right but there was some sort of combined effort with feathercoin and two others and the whole thing turned into a farce

I thought the story was the native American Indians believe the Washington redskins trademark is derogatory to the indigenous people and they want it removed




Redskins Coin


Now that the US has lifted the trademark on the Redskins logo it can be used for anything. So the next alt coin will be the Redskins Coin.

Nothing special about the coin but it's all about the logo and the name. Which is the most important thing when it comes to cryptocurrency...just look at doge.

Mymenace, would it be possible to see this with a Times New Roman like font?

provided different versions so you can see the font in action




1886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoin features can you not live without? on: June 18, 2014, 11:33:51 PM
1. bare minimum of course is just your transactions but a better gui for marketing purposes ( i believe it would appeal more to average joe and especially if it is an app)

2. ...""so that everyone has a fair chance at creating money"... yes, alot of people do not get to mine bitcoin because of the hashrate. As well at any point in time you want new users to come on board and mine the coin to add to the network, this creates an ever increasing infrastructure that is very hard to fall down. Might even reduce that so called 51% attack if no-one is using pools and just mine with their pc or smartphone.

3. I do not really understand merge mining except that it brings more miners on board as they can mine both btc and this coin. Ultimately the miners are your infrastructure, not a prerequisite if you are able to bring new miners in at any time giving them the same chance as everyone else.

A side note -  these features all seem to me to reduce a pump and dump coin, but at the same time a profitable coin due to the fact every time you make a transaction or open the wallet it mines something no wasting money on hash rates, electricity and pc power.

A side note - i believe the payment gateway is the key to new users and profits, this will create a community that can use a coin straight away and that community can even help businesses adopt the coin by showing them a simple payment gateway for transactions.





wallet should include everything, mining, trading, purchasing, accounts, payees, messaging etc etc etc

ohh ohh and mining that is done at one hash rate only (the more hashing you throw at the coin does not matter as it will only accept the one hash rate), so that it is achievable by all. Can be mined on a smart phone and every thing i do in the wallet  gets me rewarded with coins

merge mined with bitcoin


Thank you for all the feedback, I've reduced it to the items which may warrant some discussion.

1. Swiss Army Knife / Monolithic Wallet
The introduction of all the features you mentioned feels like bloat and the introduction of many attack vectors. Whilst they are all cool/novel things, which would you say are the bare minimum requirements for the coin to have utility?

2. One hash rate only
I need to think about this properly, can you enlighten on why you suggest this, is it so that everyone has a fair chance at creating money, or are there alternative reasons?

3. Merged Mining
If we go past the specification stage and implement this, then the project will be a very long term project and aim to offer a viable alternative to bitcoin. I can see that merged mining could help the miners, and that it could theoretically make the network more secure (a higher difficulty and more hashing). But I worry that it would force fee reduction, making the network less secure, and that such tight association would be sending a message from the off that this is a second class coin, always to be subsidiary to Bitcoin.

Can you comment?

mymenace you are the man

I want this coin, i want it nnnnoooooooooowwwwwwww!!!!!


merge mined with bitcoin


only need anonymous transactions if we have something to hide, maybe a feature you can turn on and off, e.g. i do not want transactions to show up of any "personal items" Wink my spouse and I buy


+1 to silkcoin and the new wallet, very pretty and functional


existing altcoin features that are actually valuable to members of the crypto community



to me it would be

fast

secure

payment gateway and accepted by business (great marketing)

no instaming, no ipo, no premine, dev's earn money off of payment gateway (the more the coin is successful the more the dev earns)

superior wallet (most wallets look like something out of windows 95) wallet should include everything, mining, trading, purchasing, accounts, payees, messaging etc etc etc

an app with the above all achievable on an android (no-one likes iphone but i could be wrong)

This only applies to the united states, here we have to declare crypto to the taxman to be taxed as earnings, e.g. it is a currency

regardless of what the IRS says

if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck it is a duck

e.g. you buy with btc, your sell with btc, you trade like forex with btc, sounds like a currency to me


I'm probably being generous when I say 99% of altcoins have nothing to do with being a legitimate currency.

This is where you went off the rails.

There are ZERO cryptos that are a "legit currency"...
Even Bitcoin velocity has flatlined in spite of zillions of new retail outlets.

The IRS was correct when they ruled Bitcoin was "property"... essentially a commodity.

Do you have a general problem with "property" or "stores of wealth"...
Like golds or silver or silver or goats or sacks of potatoes...
Because that is what that $8 billion in coins = storage of wealth.

People need to get over this "currency" fetish...
It's just not gonna happen in this generation of crypto.

1894  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My Cryptsy Account just got Hacked/Compromised!!!! on: June 18, 2014, 05:12:34 AM
Yeah....

Painfull exposure to the biggest reason btc can not become truly mainstream: accounts not linked to owners....


What do you mean, my money is in a bank which is linked to me, my btc is in a wallet that is linked to me.

Any time I take money or btc out and give it to someone else to hold I am at risk of identity theft, fraud and scammers

what is the difference, am i missing something
1895  Economy / Exchanges / Re: MtGox withdrawal delays [Gathering] on: June 18, 2014, 02:39:28 AM
Well, my feeling is that Sunlot may distribute a small fraction of the bitcoins that clients lost (which will make many of those people happy, paradoxically), and they will split among clients according to the unfair final-balance criterion; and that will be it.  There will be no real investigation, no public explanation of what happened, and no one will be prosecuted.  The old management and any clients who cooperated with MtGOX's unethical behavior will get a fat share of what is left, and whoever stole the rest of the coins will walk away, free and rich, with the motivation and resources to commit even bigger crimes.  \

But the reputation of Bitcoin will not suffer, only because it cannot possibly get any worse.



we all have our feeling on that and are all accepted.

but i want to add that my feeling is that EVEN if Mark is not responsible ( let's say for a moment that he isn't ok ? ) i think that some people ( that lost money & BTC on MtGox ) will not leave him just walk around with limo and tweeting from Tokyo etc.... they will have much more clear solution....

There are a lot of things that push to go back to normal.... RETURN ALL BTC back to customers even if it takes time is the ONLY solution....


this guy might know something or be able to help https://twitter.com/MagicalTux,

recent tweets give the impression everything is as planned

mymenace you have been spamming the thread with copied designs from other coins, if you can read properly it clearly says submit 3 logos of your own design, yet you have submitted around 10 logos which none are originals all have been copies of other coins . I think we can all agree we have a cheater here and a copy cat thief   Roll Eyes

really not very nice at all

I only provide designs to help new developers brand there product. if anything i recycle my old designs from other competitions.

I also update current designs I have done to provide a choice in different finishes.

I always try be original as possible and provide an alternative to the current designs, i do redesign a lot of photoshop shapes that are regurgitated a lot (will need to change that)


so I suppose this is what you call original work

Here is a decent logo ,  i have included the background, i have not added rendering yet. If its selected i can add rendering + animation to spin slowly the logo in the center





here is the background
