Hello RAW Folks!

This is Great News! I apologize to have been out of the loop for a bit. It looks like indeed Awais is working on a fix for this. My bounty is still valid and will be gifted to Awais on a 'schedule' and upon certain conditions being met.

Once we have a working wallet and my coins reappear, I will be transferring him 100,000 RAW bounty to get things started off. I will then begin making BTC payments we arrange on a weekly basis from there, as well as other potential bonuses for goals met. Maybe he can be the 'Coding Dev' I have always been looking for? 

Run and shout it from the rooftops! Raw Coin is back and here to stay! And guess what?

CLUB RAW METALS WILL CONTINUE once these issues are resolved.

I'm confident that the winners of the first month's 'Club RAW Rewards' were thrilled with their 'treasure'.

Stay tuned, provide incentive to Awais upon concrete completions, and post information here on the forum and on twitter.

@Bwilliken

Leggo!

Ok everyone. Time for updates. The Dev I was working with has decided that this is too big of a project for him, and has asked me to look for help elsewhere. I do not believe he has done much work, and the amount of money paid to him so far was not the entirety of the 1 BTC he was contracted for, so going forward, here is where we are.

Apparently we have forks that have corrupted the block chains into 'multiple' blockchains. According to this Dev I was working with, we need a Dev to:

[2:08:10 PM] DEV: 1-choose a chain
[2:08:23 PM] DEV: 2-get a lot of checkpoints from that chain
[2:08:49 PM] DEV: make a new wallet with all those checkpoints and tell everyone to delete their .rawcoin folder and keep the wallet .dat

My wallet is currently giving me C++ Runtime errors when I try to boot it up, this started after the current DEV I was paying told me to start checking my 'getblockhash' in my debug console every 10,000 blocks, so that he could ensure the 'correct' blockchain would be following the one I was on.

After the first check, boom, the wallet shut down, and despite all the uninstall, reinstalls, deletion of roaming except for wallet.dat, etc. I am having no luck with the wallet.

I have personally written several Devs of other coins asking for their help and feedback to fix the issues currently facing RAW. I understand the work could take several hours, or possibly days, to have it done up correctly.

I would also need to have the code 'pulled' to my personal github so that I could control the code and contract out any further work going forward, without worry of manipulation or destruction of the code.

I am likely the largest bagholder there is for RAW right now, so I am in the same boat as everyone else, except I plan on doing something about it. Club #RawMetals was a smashing success despite only being used for 1 month, and those who received packages can attest that it would indeed be a great idea to hold & Stake RAW, become a top 10 Club Member, and have precious metals mailed to your door step monthly. Pretty great, innovative, and an idea that hasn't been done by coins that have 100X the market cap of RAW with no TRUE REAL WORLD VALUE.

So here is where I am at now, I am willing to bounty 1 BTC & 100,000 RAW to anyone who can & WILL fix the issues plaguing RAW, and get it back to a functional, solid source, and working Coin. If you read this message board and can code, or help, or contact someone who can do the above, then please let me know.

I suppose another option would be for me to create a new coin of my own, forking off of some other POS coin, and introducing my idea in that format. Or I could take over some other abandoned coin that has a tiny market cap but the code is solid, and I could buy up a decent % of the float before offering my Club Metals program, to incentivize others to buy in and participate in the new community.

I do like RAW, and I hold a Huge Bag, but since I am not a coder, and I have had little success getting a coder or DEV to work with me, I am at somewhat of an impasse.

I think RAW can easily be a 10X coin from where we are today in 1-3 months time if we can get some people to step up and take leadership roles. I have taken mine, but someone out there with programming skills needs to join the fray. The stakes are legit. 1 BTC and 100,000 RAW FOR STARTERS. I would consider a guaranteed # of months of Club RAW METALS membership as well.

Thoughts, comments, ideas, etc. welcomed.

Lets DO THIS

ATX

I have been in talks with hiring a Developer to fix the problems we are having with the blockchain and forking issues with RAW. Below are some excerpts from our SKYPE conversations. He is looking to charge 1 BTC to fix all of the problems, which I am currently coming up with as much as I can to pay for right now. If anyone else is interested in keeping Club #RawMetals going indefinitely it would certainly be nice to have anyone chip in whatever they can to assist me.

*DEV* If we wanna fix it we need to put a new wallet out
[10/21/2014 12:03:27 PM] DEV: And choose a chain
[10/21/2014 12:04:13 PM] ATX: Ok.
[10/21/2014 12:04:41 PM] ATX: will some people lose lots of coins?
[10/21/2014 12:04:50 PM] ATX: Any idea how long ago this happened or why?
[10/21/2014 12:07:21 PM] DEV: Not sure why but lack of nodes might be a reason
[10/21/2014 12:07:28 PM] DEV: I would chosse bittrex main chain
[10/21/2014 12:07:48 PM] DEV: some ppl might lose coins yeah
[10/21/2014 12:08:04 PM] DEV: But not a lot since we are going with the main chain


[10/22/2014 4:13:48 PM] *DEV*: you need to talk to the biggest raw holders and see what block are they in
[10/22/2014 4:14:04 PM] *DEV*: so we can connect to them and choose one of the forks
[10/22/2014 4:14:41 PM] ATXSILVER: Ok. So get a list or largest holders main addresses?
[10/22/2014 4:15:14 PM] *DEV*: ask them via pm/skype. what block are they in
[10/22/2014 4:15:24 PM] *ATXSILVER*: Sorry. Confused about how to check what block what they are in means. Where to check that?
[10/22/2014 4:15:48 PM] *DEV*: because ppl will lose coins if they are on the wrong fork
[10/22/2014 4:16:09 PM] *DEV*: just go to your wallet and it should be in the debugging
[10/22/2014 4:17:12 PM] *DEV*: then we choose the fork and keep going from that. its also advisable that ppl on the wrong fork dont move any coins or they will be lost

Please everyone pay attention to the above information. I want to make this transition/solution as seamless as possible. Questions welcomed and Please PM me with all relevant information. We need to get back to being listed on Bittrex within 1 week and get everyone who wants to participate in CLUB #RawMetals again situated onto the Rich List. After completing this I am considering starting a new ANN Page with all the updates, club information, new twitter, and all new developments to put everything in one clean place.

Thoughts, considerations, comments are all welcome.

I am looking for Developer / Programmer to review, audit, and fix any issues in the code for RAW Coin so it can be brought back online with Bittrex, and if possible, going forward doing work as needed on something of a 'contract' basis, where I would pay you with BTC or RAW as your work was needed.

I am taking over and doing many exciting things with RAW, as an alt coin, it already offers something many coins do not, go check out the thread and get an idea of what I am speaking of....

I need someone reputable, who is willing to do this for me, to respond with a PM ASAP.

I will be generous with my RAW bounty for any Dev willing to commit to working with me for the intermediate term. I would prefer to pay in RAW, (Enough to qualify you for the monthly 'Club #RawMetals packages), but I have BTC also.

Apparently there have been 'forks' in the code that needs to be addressed. Here is what the person from Bittrex wrote,

"The wallet has at least 3 forks and we can't keep the blockchain in sync.  We have disabled it until this is fixed.  There is no way for us to send coins off because we don't know which fork its on at this point."

How can we fix this? I also have a block explorer, rich list, etc already created here ---> http://altcoinguys.blockexperts.com/raw

If anyone has any interest in becoming a more permanent basis Dev, I am open for that as well, but I am happy to pay you behind the scenes so you do not have to deal with the community constantly wanting updates, etc.

0.25 BTC up for grabs for a legit DEV to fix the code. Or Even MORE in RAW.

Thanks and let me know ,

Block Explorer & Rich List are up and running.

I am getting help to solve the problems with the forks & Blockchain.

ATX

I am in the process of having a Block Explorer/ Rich List Created. I have been speaking with 'TheAltCoinGuy' and here is an example of what they will provide for 0.15 BTC. http://altcoinguys.blockexperts.com/flt

Any one who is interested in helping crowdfund this please send some BTC to my wallet at:

 1MjmtawZxYDvgSB7WqQ2sk6qSJJkWRaKM3

This will help add legitimacy and make scouring the code easier for those who know how to do so. Just another step on the road to 5,000 Satoshi :-) It will also make the accounting for the 'Top 10' Holders to qualify for Club #RawMetals much easier.

I am looking to do this sooner than later, so any donations will be greatly appreciated. I am happy to spearhead the initiatives for this coin, but it always helps to have a community to help out and create synergy.

Best,

ATX

Hello All,

I know it's been a while, but I thought I would stop by and drop a line. I tried my hardest to get Earthcoin some traction with my offerings on earthazaar and posting as often as I could with ideas and initiatives. Alas, to no avail, I lost many BTC in the process and decided to move on with my life and search for happier hunting grounds.

I invite everyone to check out the Raw Coin Revival BTC thread, where I am spear heading the initiative #RawMetals, wherein the top 10 holders of Raw every month will receive a package mailed to them, with precious metals, collectible coins, Copper rounds, old us currency, paper bills, novelty tokens, etc. The largest holder of Raw will receive a Gold & Diamond jewelry piece each month. The minimum requirements are to hold 100,000 Raw in a staking wallet, and to submit your address and amount of coins held to me at the beginning of every month. I only had 5 takers this past month, so there is still room for members of the Earthcoin community to join in and start getting monthly Club #RawMetals packages delivered to their doorstep.

I believe that this is a novel, real-world, and innovative way for an Alt Coin to function and provide real-world value, as well as create a competition to keep the price buoyed and upwardly moving. There is only around 6 million coins out there, so there is a limited amount of supply and most of it is already locked up, and there is 4% annual POS to reward staking and holding.

The #1 Club #RawMetals holder posted pics up on the forum today, so you can see what you could have received if you had owned 400,000 RAW (Currently around a 1 BTC investment). The packages scale in value from the largest holder to the smallest, to incentivize friendly competition in order to secure the best packages per month.

A novel idea, A good coin with solid fundamentals, and I will be spearheading it, and actively making it a success story.

There is still a lot of do, but anyone who remembers me from Earthcoin please come join the club and help me make us all a ton of BTC.

I plan on doing this club indefinitely, and I hold a significant amount of RAW that I am happy to use for bounties to anyone offering services to help RAW succeed. We have a multi-pool setup already also that you are welcome to join :-) http://thepool.pw/RAW/

Working on other initiatives. If you can help PM me or post in the Raw Revival forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737790.new#new)

Best to All

I am back with a vengeance to turn RAW back into a legitimate Crypto currency. What I am offering is something novel and unique, and that is not currently being done by anyone in the Alt. Coin landscape. Mailing physical Gold, Silver, Diamonds, Gemstones, Collectible OLD US Coins, Copper Proof Rounds, Paper money, etc., to the largest 10 holders of RAW each and EVERY month. To qualify for the 'TOP 10' status, you have to hold at minimum 100,000 RAW. It is my belief that this number will naturally rise once more people begin to catch on to the true value being offered here, and that this represents a fundamental shift in the way cryptocurrency has been done up to this point.

If you check on twitter, you can see some of the items one of the members received, another club member will be posting some pictures later as well. This is really a great chance to get in on a coin that has a low # of coins, and which you can own a decent % of for very small BTC. There are some obvious steps that we will need to take to keep momentum building and enhance the community cooperation for the success of $RAW.

One is to find a legitimate DEV who will not bail on the first price spike. I have been fielding some ideas and names of people who have solid reputations and could be willing to help. Unfortunately, I have a finance and trading background, and technology and code is not my area of expertise. I also am an avid collector, buyer and seller of jewelry, precious metals, collectibles, and items that will hold their long-term value. To truly take advantage of this opportunity, the wise decision would be to join the club, and then hoard away your monthly items I will be sending you, put them in your safe, and let them appreciate with time. The price of RAW should appreciate with the continued developments as well, creating a 'win-win' situation. You of course can also sell the items at current market price, and therefor lower your cost basis on your RAW purchases, to each their own.

I would like to find a DEV where I can partially pay him with RAW and the Club membership package, perhaps along with a flat BTC rate for an ongoing commitment. We need to make sure the code is IRON CLAD and that there is no corruption or issues needing pertinent attention. There is already a multi-pool setup that we need to get more hash onto. I am even willing to ship internationally, although that may take some figuring out since shipping costs are much higher, but I did ship a nice package all the way to Venezuela that the individual should receive within a week or so, and post more pics.

For now I will not be creating a new RawCoins twitter, I don't feel like bothering with it. But you can find me @Bwilliken on twitter. There are already some pictures posted of the type of package you could've received for a 100,000 Raw coin investment.... More will be up shortly I am certain as well.

Only 5.5 million coins, buy em up, don't sell em, and stake them to collect that POS, it will add up given enough time. If there is an individual who can hoard 1 million coins, they will receive a Club #RawMetals package that will make them do a back flip. My idea is to eventually have a group of 10 'strong' holders of Raw, all staking, and receiving increasingly valuable membership perks along with the rise in RAW price and volume being traded.

I was involved with Earthcoin, and was the #1 seller by far on their online website until I gave up due to the lack of leadership & direction, as well as what I perceived as significant flaws in the fundamentals of the coin. Maybe someone can go back into that forum and give them a heads up as to what I am up to over here. I had many happy customers from that community as well.

Post here or PM me, or hit me up on twitter. Let's all work on this together to start gaining traction for a truly revolutionary Alt Coins. Should we change the name to RAW Metals? Should we do a new ANN thread and shall I create a white-paper? I am committed to this, and I have the inventory to keep this club rolling nicely for a while even at this insanely low prices.

Best,

ATX

Just in case you guys think this is a game. Here is *PART* of the package that was sent out to the #1 Club #RAWMETALS bagholder today. A 14K Diamond Engagement Ring. And the winner only had 300,000 Something $RAW. The other 4 Winners also get nice packages also, but as I said, larger holders get larger rewards..... And these Club #RAWMETALS packages are going to be PAID OUT ON A MONTHLY BASIS!



Right now club membership is only 100,000 RAW to qualify. The Value of that ring alone likely pays for the entire RAW that was staked to qualify for it. Maybe you guys will catch on, maybe not. But in the meantime, the people who are buying into this plan are being rewarded handsomely.

Do you know of any other coins offering such consistent, valuable, and unique 'Membership' perks? Would you rather save 10% on a $200 hotel bill rather than having physical metals mailed to your address on a monthly basis?

Let's get this coin moving forward.

Once you see what 'bagholders' will be receiving, you would likely change your mind. They will be posting pictures with their Club #RawMetals packages to show the legitimacy of my program. I am still accepting qualified applications for packages for the next couple days until I shut it down until next month. Not surprisingly, all the short-sighted day-trading money losers have no interest, but I am sure slowly people will catch on and see the value of receiving PHYSICAL VALUABLE GOODS monthly instead of chasing the next Pump N Dump dream. But to each their own.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. For .15 bitcoin you can buy 100K Raw and start receiving monthly packages of Wheat & Indian Head pennies, Mercury Dimes, potentially a silver Oz, and the largest holders get Gold and/or diamonds.

Where else can you find this kind of True Value? I hope the price stays low, so I can eventually accumulate 50% plus of this coin and control the price, until then, keep selling at these prices to those willing to hold and stake for REAL WORLD GOODS.

Best of luck to all.

ATX

I am really frightened that this thing has been way over hyped, and I worry that when the price spikes and then quickly crashes once it hits Bittrex then all the "fast money" ICO geniuses will market sell and destroy this price, so that they can chase the next miracle coin.

I am still accepting more entries into Club #RawMetals!

100K Minimum RAW to qualify.

Please PM me with your information!

This IS LEGIT! You will receive a package with physical precious metals in your mailbox!

Only a few spots left!

There are still several slots available to qualify for the Club #RAWMetals membership package. I have around 5 Qualified entries so far, so that leaves a few slots open that I am willing to extend the deadline a little while to allow people to qualify.

At current prices (<200 satoshi), why NOT join Club #RawMetals? PM me here with your wallet address, # of Coins, and preferred mailing address.

Here on BCT or on Twitter @bwilliken.

Monthly precious metals packages mailed out to reward the LARGEST 10 holders of $RAW! With a special surprise going to the largest holder each month!

Spread the word.

"And this little piggy went hashing!"

Customer Number: #14300

Entry #: 19

GO PB MINING!!!!

Anyone who owns 100K $RAW in a staking wallet as of October 1st, 2014 qualifies for a club #RAWMetals package to be delivered free of charge to the mailing address of their choosing. Packages will include Physical Silver, Collectible Copper Rounds, And Antique American & Foreign Coins and/or paper currency. The Top 10 RAW holders will all receive Club #RawMetals packages.

At current prices that is only an 0.18 investment if you do not qualify currently. I plan on doing this Club on a monthly basis, and I will also be scaling the gifts based on the number of $RAW staked. The best Club #RawMetals package will go to the largest holder of $RAW, the smallest package to the smallest holder (100,000 minimum to qualify for top 10).

There is talk of bringing on a new Dev, for a reported sum of 1 BTC; then we could have a legit, proven, and respectable Dev fix all the ills of this coin. I am offering this Club #RawMetals package to incentivize more of the community to participate and create demand for this coin. I like the setup of this coin, the low number of coins in existence, along with some of the marketing assets and intrinsic features.

Everyone get on Twitter and start promoting $RAW, Club #RawMetals, and participation in the program. With the low float of less than 6 million coins, it wouldn't take many large holders to lock up most of the float, and prevent small sells from holding this price down below 1000 satoshi. There is no reason this crypto SHOULD be below 1000 satoshi IMO. It is just a lack of faith, and disgust at the previous devs, as well as a bit of capitulation.

Let's work to get $RAW back in motion, and do what we can to promote and spread the world of the Club Programs. We can also talk about 'crowdfunding' a legit dev who could make certain guarantees so as not to abandon the coin, but one step at a time. Buy your 100,000 stake by Oct. 1st.

@Bwilliken

Announcing new Club #RawMetals incentive program, for which qualification will be decided on OCTOBER 1st, 2014.

This will be an incentive structure that will reward the largest holders of $RAW Coin, which will consist of PHYSICAL items to be shipped out the week after the decision date of OCTOBER 1st. Physical items will consist of a 'grab bag' of physical precious metals (copper, silver, etc.), paper currency, collectible domestic & foreign coins, & anything else I decide to throw in, etc.

As this is a program I will be running myself, at my own cost, I will be leaving the terms of this program open to change, and welcome any community input as to the best structure of this Club #RawMetals incentive program.

Here is the initial setup and qualification structure.

You must hold at MINIMUM 100,000 Raw Coin to qualify for the #RawMetals program. This is in part because I aim to make these packages have as significant value as possible, and I want to add incentive for holders to OPEN and stake their wallets, and to pull these coins off of Exchanges where they can be easily sold.

The TOP TEN holders of RawCoin, (having a minimum of 100,000 $RAW held), will be mailed out packages the week after October 1st, 2014. These packages will scale in value according to the rankings of the Club Raw Holders, thereby encouraging you to be the largest Club Raw Member, and create a little competition to attain the 'TOP TEN' elite status for all RAW bagholders. We are all bagholders at this point, but we will begin filling our bags with valuable items, to be held (or sold at your discretion) to create long-term wealth.

It is my intention to have this program continue indefinitely, and to create more value and incentive to hold $RAW than has existed as to this point. With a continued rise in market cap with $RAW, we will be able to pitch in as a community and hire/ bounty better developers, marketers, etc.

On Oct. 1st, you will need to send me your personal RAW wallet address, with the stated amount of coins you are currently staking, along with a mailing address where you would like to receive your #RAWMetals package. You can reach me here, through PM, or through twitter (@bwilliken) or email, (atxsilver@gmail.com). (I will be confirming all stated holdings using RAW block explorer)

The Top 10 holders of 100,000 $RAW will qualify, and receive packages 1-10 according to their current ranking of the top 10 holders. The Top $RAW holder will receive an added bonus which will make them extremely happy :-)

Start, accumulating, and staking that $RAW. This is the beginning of a new era for Raw, one of transparency and REAL benefits to holding this crypto for the long-term.

Thoughts and suggestions are welcomed, but this is the basic formula so far for #ClubRawMetals.

RAW bag holders will be pleasantly surprised here in the near future. The 'revival' devs are unresponsive, and also either untrustworthy or incompetent, either of which is inexcusable for a coin with the potential of RAW. I am looking to get a group of large holders of RAW who will stake their position in an open and clear manner, and I am planning on continuing the RAW Club with my own incentive structure. Its sad that people have lost some BTC because of childish pump and dump twitter groups, but the small amount of coins means that RAW can easily be back above 1000 satoshi and set that as a new 'ground floor" pull your sell orders and stake your coins in your personal wallet. I am still debating on what size to make the minimum investment , but I want to make the club rewards substantial so I am leaning toward larger minimum stake size. Feedback welcomed. I am planning on offering collectible copper coins, fractional silver coins and pre-65 us 90% silver coinage, and other collectibles that are suitable for long term investment. As of right now I am thinking to reward the top 15-25 RAW holders by size, with the largest holders getting the largest rewards, on a sliding scale. Don't sell anything below 1000, and buy up your stakes now. I need a programmer type Dev to help me with basic maintenance, payment amt to be discussed, but I would prefer a RAW holder to make incentives easier to align. I contacted piggyDev but he holds no raw and wants payment in BTC and I'm not surei  trust him and I would prefer new blood for reputation sake. Anyone willing to join and help, please post ideas and feedback. Any raw holders over 100k please contact me directly through PM or DM on Twitter @bwilliken.

Better times ahead. We will have the last laugh ;-)
