A huge premined national reserve.

I think they'd be better off curating a good list of coins. I'll admit I log into Cryptsy less and less all the time. Everything I own on there has tanked, and the interesting new coins aren't even there. Honestly, I'd be hard pressed to buy anything on Cryptsy anyways because it would require first selling something at a loss.

Ouch RIC not on Cryptsy's radar yet: https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes

I'm sure its the lack of pools scaring them off still. Man I wish I could help out with that!

Vote this up people! Lets get on BTER!

Wow, didn't know this. Cool.

Coins like Doge and Vert made it obvious that a coin can fly if its got a dedicated community. Almost every new coin out there struggles to build a community and the old favorites fight to keep people interested. . . Aurora took off because its pretty much got a guaranteed community of close knit, politically dissenting enthusiasts by inception (assuming the airdrop works). MZC has definitely got all that too (again assuming its dispersed to the people from the premine). The Lakotas are also in the belly of the beast in America. Dissent concerning environment and liberty is often championed by natives because of their treaties and sovereign status. Just look how many natives and non-natives were all supporting "Idle no more". Protestors back the natives because the tribes often have the best legal positioning to fight tar sands, pipelines, fracking etc. . . Dissenters also love Iceland because they told the banks to screw off.

Buying MZC is a protest vote (or at least perceived as such) against corporate destruction and banking tyranny. Go Maza!

They should schedule an airdrop like Aurora so that all Lakotas have some MZC, could be done from the national reserves. With the price rising, they'll be able to distribute some real money without depleting their store. . . A sovereign decentralized crypto currency in the heart of America the land of inflation, holy crap this could be huge!

Kitteh lists 6 pools on their announcement page. I think that's what it comes down to. This coin isn't really decentralized until they've got it mining in several pools. Great idea or not, the mining needs to be decentralized. . . People are on it, its coming.

kittens are also cuter than Bernhard Riemann

Sorry to disappoint, not a new coin just thought I'd throw this idea out there. I can't develop anything and maybe someone is already doing this but whatever. . .

There should be a coin that autodials and spam emails free coins constantly. Like a faucet that cold calls people to take some free coin. The email lets you add the wallet to your phone/computer and receive free CCL. This is using spam for good to decentralize. Like an airdrop to everywhere.

I have no idea how any of this could actually work. To take out the element of trust would require some sort of automation- unlike Aurora it couldn't be a giant premine being given away, but something automated in the network that keeps dispersing small amounts of new coins to many random email addresses. In time you would have millions of people all owning a bit of the supply.

"Spamcoin" is also already taken unfortunately.

The Lakota nation should schedule an airdrop like Aurora from the premined national reserve. That's what's adding value to AUR - every person in the nation of Iceland will soon have some. Until all Lakotas have some Maza it isn't really the people's currency. Cryptos get value from decentralization across a dedicated community. Maza has a coin community, and a centralized governing body of Lakota, but it doesn't have the inclusion of a group tied together by geography/ancestry yet.

Schedule airdrop of MZC to all Lakotas. Watch the price skyrocket. All of a sudden the national reserve becomes more valuable even though they have less MZC.

And they should do this quickly in case Aurora fails and the idea of national cryptos dies.

Thats a good one for the list.

I just had another thought:

- create school friendly Riecoin packages. It has client and miner, images graphs and stats, info on primes, ideas for classroom contests etc. . . I'm thinking the cool grade 4 science teacher who has the classroom lizard and hanging solar system could also run Riecoin on the homeroom computer. Teach kids about Bitcoin and Primes with Riecoin. An older student package could be offered to high schools/ universities etc for paper writing and coding projects. . . Then we just get educational email lists and start sending the packages out.

This could also be a great blow for the crypto revolution in general. Governments keep monetary policy out of schools for a reason. If people learned how the system worked at an early age, we'd never have gotten to the widespread corruption/deception we're at today. Schools would probably frown on a teacher bringing in bitcoin mining for the kids, too much like money or stock trading in most people's eyes. . .but if the teacher is bringing in software that performs an interesting mathematical task that is completely different. That would probably be encouraged. . . . sneaking Bitcoin into schools if you will. . .

Getting bitcoin into the education system will be critical eventually for its acceptance - Riecoin is positioned incredibly well towards that end.

all makes sense to me, excellent additions. thanks Gatra. I'll add these and other suggestions to make up a full list.

I think its mostly cosmetic but, A few points:


- plain background is too plain, (we're getting part of RIC code written out on chalkboard for a background)
- don't like the body text and link fonts
- logos/video should be centered
- I think video should be on landing page - might be a personal bias
- landing page needs 1 -2 lines describing what Riecoin is. Maybe even a full paragraph. . .
- logos need different presentations in About page. Maybe section headers only use the circle logo without the word "Riecoin"? Sometimes it sits on a plate with a dropshadow? That sort of thing, needs to change up.
- all logos of Riecoin should be clickable and take you back to the landing page.
- tabs at the top might look better than big buttons. Darkcoin site for reference: top tabs, centered logo and brief description with cool background.

- body text backgrounds need a texture. maybe paper or wood to go with the chalkboard?

sorry if these make it a total overhaul

Riecoin needs a plan of action for its website details and the announcement page on this thread. A lot of coins have these and it really shows that the community understands the challenges and can succeed. Sometimes its just a list, and when things get done a line could be drawn through so that people can see a need was identified and then solved. Also as reference check out Reddcoin's plan of action on their announcement page. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423597.0They mention who they need, what they need, where they'd like to see the coin etc. . . . Riecoin has none of that sort of thing, but at the very least we should have a list.

I'll start off a few, please contribute.

- get more pools operating
- get listed on cryptsy
- get listed on BTER
- have the website redesigned
- post details about Riecoin in math focused forums
- post details about Riecoin in crypto focused forums
- create a mac versions of wallet and miner
- create a way for people to view the resultant data from Riecoin
- contact notable mathematicians/departments worldwide and see if they'd be interested in endorsing or commenting on Riecoin
- make a press release about RIC to be sent to math/science based publications
- start a foundation for bounties and contests


I'd say things that could be listed under completed, or scratched out:

- Finish block explorer - almost there?
- Get listed on coinmarketcaps
- start a dedicated forum
- implement transaction malleability fix
- create a promo video

If we have it all laid out well, we can then ask Gatra to add this to the web and forum details.

Great! I'm looking forward to it.

That's cool, glad to see you here. What type of work/skill do you have then?

Any chance you speak another language other than English fluently? I think we should have translations of all Riecoin's text info and versions of the promo video in other languages. Gatra has said he'll get a Spanish voice over recorded - but all other languages would be very welcome. The way I see it, mathematics isn't culturally specific in any way, so the more languages we can connect with people in the better. Here is the script for anyone interested in doing some translating, you'd need to record at roughly the same speed as the English voice so that the timing works (I won't be able to fix timing because I won't understand the words). Definite cool factor from this for anyone who provides voice work too. 6000 people in the last 5 days have heard me as the voice of Riecoin - I had no idea last week that this week I would be such a spokesperson, but that's how things go I guess.

Video is posted on Riecoin.org for reference.

Script to be translated:
""Riecoin is a decentralized crypto currency built on Bitcoin offering an entirely new proof-of-work.  Miners of Riecoin process transactions in the same way Bitcoin miners do, but the mining of Riecoins produces a byproduct that is of value to the scientific community - highly verified prime sextuplets, or prime numbers. In fact, if enough people mine Riecoins all at once, they could collectively generate prime sextuplets 559 digits long that would break world records! All of this on a completely decentralized p2p currency with a fair launch - pretty cool right? . . .The coin gets its name from famous 19th century mathematician Bernhard Riemann who investigated the Riemann zeta function and established its importance for understanding the distribution of prime numbers. The data collected from Riecoin mining tests Hardy-Littlewook k-tuple conjectures regarding the distribution of primes using Riemann's zeta function; its information that could prove invaluable to human understanding of mathematics. . . .Riecoin also functions as an advanced decentralized currency. Like Bitcoin, there is no central authority, no one can change the ledger or double spend. To safeguard a fair launch, the first 24hrs following Riecoin's release offered no reward. This novel approach allowed early miners to verify there was no premine and have their miners tested and running when the coins finally started flowing. Riemann's algorithm also provides a stable, predictable supply of new coins, so its well suited for payment systems and as an investment. Feel free to ask any questions you might have - the Riecoin community is always happy to help. . . If you'd like to support p2p decentralized currency and help create world record breaking mathematical research in prime numbers - start mining Riecoins today on your computer!"

Obviously mining and buying Riecoins will also help.

Failing that. Post your comments/concerns here. Make suggestions for improvements. Thank people when they do things, thank Gatra when he posts an update. Any way to keep this thread active is very helpful. People investigating the coin want to see an active discussion with lots of people taking an interest in the coin...so in that regard you're already helping and its much appreciated!

I agree, Gatra has been very fast and attentive to messages and requests. He's been working with people who are trying to set up pools also and said it is a priority....What he doesn't do is engage in fruitless debates on the forum. Personally, I think that's smart. He shouldn't be taking the defensive here at all - he's created a great coin and is supportive and welcoming.

For sure, I would also love to see all of that. Have you offered any bounties to see some of those things happen? The dev didn't premine, so we can't depend on him for funds. There's someone calling themselves the RiecoinWhale whose giving out bounties, but surely at personal expense. The botnet, attacker, or whathaveyou isn't going to hold the coin or offer bounties - they clearly are ready to sell at any price.

That leaves us. People who own some RIC and want to see it take off.

I took the donation I received for making the video and dedicated most of it to a bounty for website re-design. Read all about it here, or don't: http://riecointalk.com/index.php/topic,139.0.html

Its up a notch? I'm agreeing completely coin is not decentralized right now. The dev's "use" of my video is just that - he posted it. I wrote the script, I created the design. Suppose the coin was as yet unreleased and I wanted to promote it. Since the code was exclusively on Gatra's computer at that time I could have created a video describing a fully centralized coin existing soley on one man's computer, but that would be counter-productive and would soon require a re-edit. You get this right? . . I suppose Gatra could just keep my video in cold storage until there are more pools added, but again why? Anyone who takes 5 mins to investigate this coin can see there is a problem with pools and that the coin is 2 weeks old. I think its pretty obvious that 'decentralization' is referring to the coin's design not the state of a 2 weeks old community.

And yes, I heard your seventeen earlier renditions of that point and have taken it to heart with thanks. This is why I've re-posted info about bounties here that came from from Riecointalk.com. Wasn't it established that double posting the information was probably smartest? Leaving an organized place for the hard core fans and an updated feed in the most important thread. What am I missing here? You want me to post reference to another discussion without leaving a link to it?

No sarcasm here at all. I think you're absolutely right in fact. I know when I check out new coins its the bitcointalk release first page, the last few pages, and the website. . . If it looks good I'll check it out further. Not sure why the first page here isn't a top priority.
