For a few reasons.

1. Active development. - Just because you do not see the work being done doesn't mean it isn't. For example the multi-user wallet, the payment processing system, the coin mixer.

2. The payment processor itself is something different. It allows people to put a price in TIPS. This is exactly what a cryptocurrency needs to sustain a real value instead of an exchange value.

2. Saying most people think the coin is near death is very narrow minded. Yes there are people that think that but there is a large amount of people still actively mining and purchasing the coin.

3. I will give you marketing because at the time it is almost non existant. BUT, there is nothing stopping other people from marketing the coin, it is a community and we all have to do our part to spread the word of TIPS Fedoracoin. Also it took some time for them to find another web developer to ensure the rebrand goes smoothly. These things have been posted by users, myself for one, and spoke about in the IRC.

4. The price drop. Every single coin has done this, and if not in the past week or two then another time in it's lifetime. It is very shortsighted to look at such a drop as a dead coin, especially when their are so many actually dead coins out there. The prices of these cryptocurrencies at times seem extremely arbitrary and that is because there is a ton of manipulation. The greatest coin out there with all the features in the world can suffer extreme variations in price by simple pumps and dumps. Bitcoin, the king of the coins as they say still suffers huge manipulation in terms of price and the market cap is massive.

"What incentive to miners have to point rigs to our coin?"

What incentive did the early Bitcoin and Litecoin miners have to mine the coin and spend money on electricity?
The hope that the technology and ideals behind the crypto-coins would catch on and eventually force a change in the existing monetary system because of the useful nature of the crypto-coin.

This is how it goes, we do not need another fork, we need to get more miners on the coin so that are base hashrate will hold the difficulty higher then the point at which the multipools jump in.

Spread the word and get more dedicated miners.

So i was checking out domains and did you guys know that one of the new TLD's is  ".TIPS"

Ya as in things like "http://learn-about.tips" or "http://learnabout.tips"
It is meant for informational sites and things i think, where people give tips as in suggestions but I think this is pretty awsome

Maybe I am the last to know about this but still pretty cool.

Hahahaha thanks for the laugh. You are truly ridiculous, if anybody listen to all the FUD from this guy make sure you know that when you sell, it is likely his buy order you are filling

Funny thread, reminds me of the nothing coin thread haha cause that is likely what the miners will end up with.

One thing that does have me wondering, out of the 1000 shitcoins out there, you have chosen Coin2?
At least Coin2 had a different distribution than many of the actual shit coins, as well as block reward structure.

In all honesty what is making me write this is wondering how in the world you created a shit copy coin with no special features, yet have the audacity to attack other coins calling them shit.

Name 3 ways this coin of yours is better than Coin2?

annnnnnnnd

GO.

"everybody has to keep their trigger finger in check" made m day

Best way to put it if I ever heard it, cut the finger off if you must

Doesnt look off too me just looks like the multipool be on us again. It is trying to get that 1 minute blocktime and with the multipools it isn't having an easy time but it does look to be alright, I could be wrong but I wouldn't worry.

Ya I don't think 100 is too far off of a reasonable price at all.

And here is a little update on the shop. This is a set of screenshots from product page to purchase and confirmed payment. Just using sample products and things but the payments are real and going through
Just waiting on another person implementing it to finish up and then it will be made available for all, along with stores that use it.

PS. I have nothing to do with the payment platform itself, I have put together a simple webshop using a database that is built around the w/ fedoracoin payment system.

Dont forget guys, fayens logos are great but this is the new logo. The graphic designer has said it is alright to use as well so use it and get it spreading around the internet

Its true I am and it is all tested as of last night, just at work now and then later on will be putting up for my site and for anyone else to easily implement the system by simply filling and pointing to their datbase, shopping cart included

At the moment the reason the front post has not been changed and there has been no official announcment is that the development team is waiting for the go ahead from the graphic designer that is is finished and good to be used.

A banner that could be used as an outline for promotions using the new logo.

Here is a ticker a community member has made using the new logo.

Here is another example of the logo that will be used.

Guys the logo is shown here on a mockup of what the new site will resemble.

With the Fedora in their it may be a bit harder to spread, its true, many people will only see the meme. But I beleive with the Dev work, that we may not always see until bam huge updates, is something that will keep it at least talked about enough that it can slowly spread over time.

Plus, once the brand is established, the w/ , the processor could be called anything really, brand it for any coin name.

w/ Bitcoin
w/ Litecoin
w/ TIPS

My thoughts anyway, I just think this type of processor is the best way to give coins a true value instead of an exchange value, and kudos to them for being the first to do it that way.

As many of you may have heard coinpayments.net is shutting down as of March 31st 2014.

"It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the closure of CoinPayments.net."

I for one will hate to see them go as it was awsome to see their logo and know I did not have to change my alt-coins in to Bitcoins to spend them. They have made it so easy to make alt-coin payments and for many alt-coins they kept them a float so I would like to say thank you coinpayments.net for all you have done for the crypto community.

That being said,

I think the timing of the w/ Fedoracoin Payment platform being released couldn't have happened better.

For those that do not know what this platform is, well, it is a payment platform, but not like you are used to, not for crypto currencies anyways.

How it usually works when paying with cryptocurrency.

The price of an item on your website is set in FIAT. USD CAD EUR
You connect to a payment platoform such as Bitpay or Coinpayments.net sending the price of the purchase being made in FIAT currency. USD, CAD, EUR
The payment platform connects to an exchange to figure out the exchange rate of the coin.
The rate is determined and the amount of coins to satisfy the price in FIAT is required to make a purchase.
     eg. You purchase something that is $600, you pay in Bitcoin, a Bitcoin is worth $600 on the exchanges. The cost of the item is 1 Bitcoin. (plus fees)

How the w/ Fedoracoin Payment Platform works

The price of an item on your website is in TIPS Fedoracoins
You connect to the payment platoform and send the price of the item.
The platform creates and presents a payment address to receive payment.
Payment is made and the cryptocurrency is deposited in to your account.

With this process their is no exchanging coins to FIAT or vice versa, no extra connections to find a price. Simply a price, a payment address, and a dashboard to keep track of your orders.

The payment processor will also be able to use BTC and LTC which of course are the 2 big boys in crypto. Who knows if they will ever accept more but the development team is very commited and it is definitely something to take a look at as an online store owner or developer looking to implement a simple donation button with a bit more security.

I also believe that this type of payment platform is necessary for alt-coins and the likes to be taken seriously as a currency in any way. Currently many alt coins only have an "exchange value" their is no faith in the value of a coin being sustained. To have even Bitcoin become more stable I believe the first step will be for people to put a price based on how many Bitcoins it is worth instead of how many dollars it can be changed to.

Been busy with another implementation of the payment system for someone else and also been busy with work but everything seems fine, just awaiting good news from the other person working on implementation.

I will also throw it out there that coin-payments.net is shutting down, making the w/ fedoracoin payment platform an even more amazing feature of this coin

Just thought I would throw it out there. Soon we will be up their with a very select few alt-coins that can be accepted for payments.

I have had 3 of the sapphire 7950 vapor x's running flawlessly for about 5 months now. Overclocked but keeping temperatures at 75 degrees.
Maybe there was a bad batch, I must be lucky but anyone effected are you keeping an eye on the HW column in cgminer?

Getting the fastest speed is always great but I know a couple people who burnt out cards because they had tons of hardware errors.

Grandcoin is already a coin.
Has been since long ago.
