The model of "fund now and develop later" doesn't seem to be working too well.

Develop first, show proof of concept,  distribute thru proof of burn. 

Then, if necessary,  gather funds for particular purposes, from funders, who have skin in the game and are therefore motivated to scrutinize development and cover (or refuse to cover)  additional expenses. This way funders continuously participate in project development , voting with money, instead of relying on devs decisions in distribution of ipo funds.

No a fork only affects the logic for determining the valid chain going forward from a specific block (in this case)

As far as I can see now, using difficulty as score for POW blocks, and let POS blocks inherit that score from the previous POW block is a good enough solution for the problem on hand. Whether one POS block following another POS block is explicitly ruled out or not, I think it should be ok either way.

The Novacoin solution of encouraging a hybrid chain only make sense because they have 1:1 POW:POS blocks ratio. YACoin is 10:1 with POW:POS. You'll need to check pretty deep into the past to encourage a 10:1 ratio. The score consistency problem I mentioned above could lurk in such schemes. Of course, we can also talk about the POW:POS ratio if people want to change it.

1) You have to maximize an active weight. It doesn't matter how you do so, but you have to do it for any price (even for constant trolling from ignorant kids), because that's necessary to survive.

2) You have to make attack energy expensive, in order to prevent free attack attempts. Otherwise user will be able to use OpenVZ and 10000+ wallet copies to make 10000+ attempts without any problem.

NovaCoin maximizes active weight using a variable RoI and limited block reward. It also implements a variable trust idea, the consequtive PoS or PoW blocks has lower trust in comparison with a hybrid chain. Attacker have to generate a hybrid chain to make success.

IMO cementing is a bad idea as it requires us to trust PoS (which we don't as of now).
Also there could be some race-conditions and other nasty issues that could easily result in network fragmentation.

Three things needed to boost COL:

- Publicity and public awareness of COL's potential.

- Better presentation (websites, forums, logo design, etc.) as to not look like another alt coin hack job and present the show of professional confidence.

- Accesibility. People trade with things that are convinient, therefore we desperately need BTC/COL on a popular exchange!


Colossus coin needs more publicity. FAR more publicity. Dogecoin has proved that with enough publicity and public excitement, greed and anticipation of increase does wonders in propelling even a mediocre joke coin into prominence. In other words, a joke imbued with enough sense of anticipation, participation, and effot, can actually turn into something significant. If dogecoin can do it, something more real such as COL definitely can.

Go to social networking sites. Go to twitter. Go to blogs, media, news networks. Go to reddit. Go to 4chan. Go anywhere to make it known that COL exists and is a good opportunity for the following reasons:

Emphasize the fact that COL is vastly undervalued compared to its nominal price. Present low values will make it a much more affordable venture for many people who are not willing to risk more than few hundred dollars at most on crypto. Attract those who are not willing to spend too much with the correct analysis that COL's values have much greater room for increase than others.

Emphasize that it has 550 billion coin supply compared to BTC's 21 million. People and public are far more likely to feel attracted towards something they can own in whole number values than in decimals. This is surprisingly powerful motive. Buying and owning 100s of something is inherintly more satisfying by instinct than owning 0.002595802 of something.

Emphasize that crypto has gone through numerous trials, and survived.

Above all, be confident and spread the word. Even those without any realistic grounds for validity can become a significant force if the anticipation and human impulse drives demand and goals. From that relative point of view, we can confidently say COL has greater future than any empty day dreams or anticipations of greed.

With publicity and clear statement of real potential possibilities, COL will definitely rise. If dogecoin can do it, COL can.


Three factors listed above are applicable to any crypto, but COL has the potential to make most of them if dev teams help out on this.


There's my input.

Revitalize the main COL thread. Renovate the main website. Spread promotions. Do give aways, free ones and ones with conditions of posting on social/website networking sites. Reward per URL.



COL can be top 15. Reinvigorated devs can definitely do it. Keep at it, and you will see something happen that will change the scene.

We got some great submissions for a new icon. Please take a look and if you like one let us know!

Sorry to hear that, did you really mine for a week on the pool and found absolutely no shares or did you mine too little?

Yeah, that's smart, lets just let the market decide everything. Let's bring back slavery and start a NiggerCoin where the profits go to the KKK and the start of a New Pro Slavery Organization to round up the Blackies. That sounds like a wonderful idea in a down economy, let's see how the Market Reacts To THAT. I sure it would love it.

Don't like it don't buy/mine it, go cry to the ADL or the JIDF you bitch niggas.

How about a go fuck yourself coin?

Any moderators here? please delete this shit, or at least change the picture

i want to buy some blakecoin
