Hello, Developer from Cryptographic Anomaly (CGA) here, as well as a moderator from the Poloniex exchange. I have been working to implement, test, and then deploy the fixes necessary to bring WC back to primetime and get staking working. As it is, I believe I have all the necessary fixes done in my fork of the code tree (accessible here: https://github.com/tf2honeybadger/Whitecoin). However, I am getting very tired, and I am not confident in my abilities to continue to test and then deploy this new wallet without a full night's sleep and the help of the foundation. The code in my fork of the code tree should be considered bleeding edge, and it is not suitable for production. It is your full responsibility to back up your wallet.dat before running it. It compiles, but I cannot promise that it will be able to sync up with another node because mine are off right now. This has changes suggested by cryptowest (create a new keypair for staking), and the changes proposed by the original, anonymous, Whitecoin developer (they can be found here: https://github.com/Whitecoiner/Whitecoin/pull/5). I will continue to work on the WC wallet until the staking is confirmed to be working and Poloniex and Mintpal have resumed trading. After this happens, I will no longer be doing development work for WC. The Foundation is working to bring on new developers who know much more about PoS coin source than I do, and we will hopefully see this soon. Many of you may be wondering why I chose to do this for another coin. I believe that coin developers need to help each other out more often. While community matters inside each altcoin, it also matters for the whole coin ecosystem. I hope that going forward, WC has two new goals in mind: Transparency in the foundation and in the development process, and rigorous testing of wallets before a widespread release. I hope that the foundation will help to make this happen. I have a very small stake in WC (~200 WC), so I really am doing this to help another coin out, not to save myself. See you all in #whitecoinfoundation on freenode soon, tf2honeybadger. Great to see people like yourself in the Cryptocurrency arena.

Lets open a pakistan exchange. I can get the platform up and running if a few traders can make sure to use the platform. Lets get a thing going for this ? Pakistan needs to be in the loop hole for this. Duke
Well not the right time to open an exchange cause Cryptocurrency is still very new to Pakistanis and 95% people don't even know about Bitcoin. I believe less thne 1% peoples now about bitcoin because its not stable thing Bitcoin ko goli maro, in Pakistan no body will invest in Bitcoin Miners reasons being : bijli, internet, and the price. Aap logon ko mainai RupayaCoin diya lekin aap log BTC ki peepri bajao. Kisi ko agar rupaya chaihiyai mujhai apna address pm kardai.

Need to get this on a major exchange - Bittrex is just dead and Allcrypt even deader. This is one of those coins you can pick up for a few satoshi and then make a killing later when it gets any kind of attention.
Big exchanges expect bribery. That's too bad :-( I suppose that's how some coins seem to cut to the head of the line and skip the voting process. Pay to play and all that. Well, Bittrex it is then... Well if everybody voted for RUP on Mintpal 5 times every hour then we will be listed quicker.

Ahh great, coin looks promising. Will definitely mine it!
region coins don't make sense, the nature of Bitcoin and Crpyto currencies is being a worldwide thing for everyone to use and to be NEUTRAL. Also, not looking too good if coins start with ONLY a Windoze wallet and nothing more prudent (unless the entire coin is aimed at dumb Microsoft users anyway). Greatly in favour of competing currencies and, thus, some viable Altcoins, I don't see too much sense in this one. It offers nothing that Litecoin, Peercoin or some reasonable existing Altcoin didn't already have, so why bother? (And no, I do NOT see ANY similarities to PoS coins either, especially as this one is PoW and clearly wasting more hashing power and is not a low-energy coin like PPC, MINT, Ecocoin, YAC, ECC in any way.) If the free market lets it fail, then so be it. One can try and push it, bribe people to revive it, or subsidise it any other way but in light of the large number of better and more complete coin solutions out there one should not bee too disappointed if it does not get off the ground. This is not really some shit coin (nor a scam etc etc) but, just like Maplecoin, Germanycoin, Eurocoin, or eUSD, this coin is not needed either, it's not convincing and unfortunately not very well thought through. It may be best to focus on the promising ones already in existence and get on those bandwagons instead. I appreciate the effort you put in for writing this essay. I appreciate that you didn't bash at him for posting the real reason while the coin is failing. The problem is that it doesn't bring anything new to the community but also it drives away a lot of people with it's name and it's somewhat nation flavor. Sorry , but the cryptos are not designed to be used in a closed environment and not to be labelled as us or india only either. This coin is not going to die, I will start mining it myself when there are no miners and distribute it to everyone.

I really liked this coin when it come out, great logo, looked promising, unfortunately has lost momentum!
One way to start this coin again would be a giveaway, not like a faucet or some RUP here and there... more like a distribution.
Something along the lines of the PoS coins recently launched, the mechanism I mean...not the total quantity!
If DEV takes part of his premine and distribute it , let's say 5000 RUP to 250 persons, not an insignificant amount if we consider this coin potential.
It will take some time to gather a 250 person list, and people will talk about it regaining interest in this coin.
True DEV will lose a part of his premine, but its better to have 70% of something than 100% of nothing.
Clearly something has to be done to get this coin talked and mined again! and giving coins usually works!
I like your idea, I am ready to do it, can you get the ball rolling ?
