The reason for the pull wasn't Takei, it was Edie. We wanted to make sure we were compliant 100% with their requests at the time. We were scared out of our minds and we hope you can understand why. Did NOT see this coming at all.

Like Xosihc said, the body is dead but is still warm.

Why inhabit a dead body, when you can create your own?

Remember, history repeats itself.

We are working on that as we speak.
This is 1 idea we have: http://postimg.org/image/o828p3q87/2f08e930/

We aren't as excited about #2 - although we do like the geometric figure inside the circle on #2

The guy posted in the thread at some point.  He isn't an active poster in this thread. I believe he wanted to get involved and then dropped out. Lack of commitment.

It is .NET and C#, and is impossible to make exact without jumping through many hoops due to nature of Windows.Forms, without spending inordinate amount of time trying to write hacks/tweaks - which then may break cross-platform on Mono.

Another way to put it - it's not like there is just screen and elements placed directly on it.  These are all nested hierarchies of controls some that are dynamically created at runtime.  I use FlowLayoutPanel and set paddings/margins based on what is in mockup, but it doesn't turn out as exact match.

Now if it is Windows only, I could make it exact much easier using newer technology.

Basically it is law of diminishing returns.

This is ridiculous, if you first state that DigiByte should be worth between 1$ and $10 and then reward DGB 1,000,000 for a Promotional Video you are effectively rewarding a minimal $1,000,000 for one to create a sub 30seconds video.. the reward should be DGB 1000 at most!

Unfortunately we are going to go away from TAKE ACTION - while we like the sound of it. Takeaction.com and takeactioncoin.com are both taken. Also doing a google search for take action can bring up too many results already. We are trying to go with a name that was really otherwise unused. We want it to be short, easy to remember, and have almost a name to it. We really like Takei actually because of the randomness. Our fundraising project was going to be called The Takei Project.

So now we are looking for a name that sounds similar but fits the mold of TAK (since that's what it is coded/traded under). Takie or Tako are two that we like but Takie might sound/look too much like tacky and Tako really sounds too much like Taco. We have also thought of just going with Takcoin because its short and sweet.

Finally we wanted a name that could be linked to a mascot of our brand. Being that we want to focus on animal rights we are planning on having some sort of animal be the face of the project. The name was also going to tie into the coin (so for example our mascot was going to be named Takei). This ties back to our idea of having an e-commerce store, where we can sell merchandise tied into our mascot/brand image that will also raise money for charity.

So all this is being considered with naming the coin. Hopefully that gives you a better view of where we are coming from.

Take a Coin sounds good but TAKE ACTION is way better... Take a look at the humane society, we can do something and help the cause too.

TAKE ACTION COIN...... That has way more branding power and way better keyword

"Take action for animals! ... to shut down the plant."

I am part of the team that is buying the coin. Over the next few days/weeks we are going to be:

- changing the name. We are making this decision over the next 24 hours. We are keeping the ticker TAK but as part of the agreement we need to change the name to something other than Takeicoin. Takcoin or Takiecoin or Takocoin are among the top three choices.
- change the website. We are going to be investing a serious amount of effort into making a top of the line website for the coin/project. We will have an e-commerce store tied into the website that will be donating $.25 for every $1 spent to an animal organization of the buyer's choice.
- the coin is going to keep the philanthropic mindset the original team had in mind - the new team will be focusing on animal specific charitable organizations.
- from a technical standpoint - the coin will continue to roll forward as TAK. New wallets and an updated website are to be ready by April.

Good things are to come and we are open to feedback from the community.

On it's face, it looks like the developers and others knew George Takei was not on-board with the project prior to the coin going to Cryptsy. A lot of people, me included, lost money on that move which wouldn't have happened if the announcement was made a few hours earlier.

The aggressive paid voting Cryptsy campaign and Sunday announcement carrot appears to have been a total setup. Watching the trading after the deletion of twitter and facebook accounts and the takeicoin website it appeared as though insiders were there buying up cheap coins with the knowledge that there was going to be a re-branding.

With that said, I picked up all the main domains for the names that are considered for the re-branding. Offers can be emailed to suspect at takcoin.com.

many misalignments？ We can help you do the test work！

Almost there.  Trying to solve a few bugs.

Don't worry about it, I've got it covered, but will need someone who wants to publish it.  Already had one person volunteer.

TAK will have an extremely important update on Sunday - To Be Continued...

I'm in the middle of talking about buying everything right now.

If we can agree on a price, we will take over the project.

If this was a pump and dump it surely was the worst one in history because I lost about $40,000

lol i think his point is, who the fuck knew about it but the dev. and insiders he told so they could dump before the general population.
on that note, its probably just a ploy and well be at 400 satoshi tomorow ha
