Website design is almost ready, let me know what do you think 

Just a short note to show my supports to our dev.
I am sad to see the turn of events and look back at all this work.
However, I have confidence in you and I am sure you will make up the SFR at fair value.
Surprise us again as you have already been able to do, I'm sure you're capable of and that some of the community have good skills to help you.

these public squabbles are "not helping" the future of this coin...

dev, please put your foot down, and put a stop to this...

I am also in favour of setting up a community fund account.

Hello everybody, for those that have been following Saffroncoin on here since the start, you should recognise my username. My real name is Nicolas (@coinviking on twitter) and I’ve been a avid supporter from day one when I saw the enormous potential of this coin. A diamond in the rough so to speak. After several email exchanges with the dev I became convinced that this is a coin that could be supported, developed and eventually grow to become something quite special.
 
Coins get created every day, everyone knows this and many will simply chase the latest flashcoin for the hope of profits. And I was no different, hopping from one coin to the next, moving my rigs almost everyday to the latest launch, but I got tired of doing so, I sought instead to invest in the developers behind the coin. In Saffroncoin, I found amazing devs that are open, transparent and always willing to listen to their community. Devs that seek to build and continuously improve their coin and have been working tirelessly doing so. I supported them by updating the coin’s logo and website, and have helped provide input that have become some of the many features SFR now has.
 
As it stands now, I am probably one of the largest holders of saffroncoin with several hundred thousand coins (I mined from the start when scrypt diff was next to nothing, at this time I have yet to start buying them on Bittrex, though that may change in the coming days), and to be clear, ALL my coins are sitting in my wallet at home and not (nor have they ever been) on any exchange. I realise people always end up focusing on the “price” and by now we know that coins with low marketcaps will fluctuate and do so sometimes much more than we would like. We know that regardless of any news, some will sell no matter what, after having pushed the coin higher. That is the reality of crypto, there will always be those that pump coins with short term gains as their only objective. No coin is immune to this, such is the reality of a speculative market.
 
The devs believe in empowering the community and allowing its voice to be heard, and as such we have an important role as I do think this community is motivated and wants the best for the coin. That being said, this community’s exuberance has to be channeled into a singular a cohesive vision in line with what the original intent was when the devs first created the coin. Certainly this vision can and will  evolve in an organic fashion over time as new technologies surface and new ideas are developed, this is after all a new coin just undergoing it first real growth pattern and as such an important time for establishing some parameters for the community moving forward.

Investors don't invest in a community they invest in the devs, their vision and their ability to execute said vision. As a result we have a responsibility to protect the devs to a certain extent so that he may focus on what they do best (one hint.. code). I’ll be honest, and this is my opinion, the white paper published today would have been great for a traditional business (investors prospectus / quarterly shareholder guidance docs) but for the purposes of the crypto-sphere, many of the traditional strategies employed in the creation of such documents for publicly traded companies etc can be somewhat negatively perceived by those in crypto. This happens do to the fact that businesses are publicly accessible (for the most part) with transparency etc and existing within a regulated system of check and balances. Basically, a precedent of implicit trust/accountability exists for these entities and as such guidances etc can be given as they are generating revenue etc to substantiate their claims etc. Cryptos on the other hand have no such requirements or systems thus when making price projections for example (something common when offering guidance for typical companies to investors) it can come off as “scammy” to a crypto community that was built from the ground up to be a trustless system (blame the Byzantine general). Anyways, whats done is done, regrettably it did much more harm than good introducing many crypto buzz words and trying to be too many things at once. Did it impact the price? It may have had an impact, but the people that were going to sell on the news, were going to do so regardless (this is speculation on my part, I have no corroborating evidence). Personally, I should have asked to get a draft to review it before it was published and could have suggested alterations, so I apologize to the community, I dropped the ball on that. The devs are brilliant and really nice guys, and are willing to bend over backward to grant the wishes of those that own saffroncoins. They also do rely on the expertise of the members of the community so please note that I am not pointing fingers, I honestly believe that the document was created with the best of intentions and I applaud the initiative taken by the individual, ultimately though, it should have been peer-reviewed by others prior to its dissemination to the public in order to ensure that the coin obtain the best possible exposure.
 
The existing WP will be reviewed and modified; price guidance will be removed, as it has no place in such a document, nor should fixed price targets/guidances ever be the resp of official saffron documents to post. Speculation is best served within the message boards. I don’t care at this time where the price is even though I have seen for myself the equivalent of dozens of BTC in value evaporate with the price decrease from its high. Short term fluctuations happen, med/long term is where my focus is and things are looking very good as nothing has changed in my view that we have fantastic devs can will keep adding to an already great coin and burgeoning “saffron ecosystem”.
 
Crypto is an odd animal, we create decentralized systems and yet for their ultimate success, centralized structures (foundations/committees etc) must arise in order to remove the noise and allow for the best ideas and ultimately decisions optimised for the coins success to percolate and be integrated into the coin’s framework.
 
Successful businesses are built by leveraging strong leadership which instill long term confidence and coins are no different in this respect. As such, if you will have me, I will take on a more active role in the community moving forward as there needs to be more robust checks and balances as well as guidance to help peer review new ideas, propositions, pr material etc. I don’t seek to "control" the coin but I will do what I can to steer it on its optimal course.   I encourage other within the community to step forward and be heard so that we may form saffroncoin’s official “dev support group”.
 
Now is the time to galvanize as a community and instill a structure that supports the devs in their quest to create an ever greater crypto.  

Crash and will go up.

We are still going to do what we proposed.

A paper Wallet and an encrypted chat system are the very next 2 things.

what a silly whitepaper. I never seen price of a healthy coin crash like this

I've taken a close look at the differences between the hashing of blakecoin and this coin and it is to do with the number of rounds of hashing applied.  Blakecoin is using a reduced 8 rounds of hashing, whereas this coin is using the standard 14 rounds defined by Blake256 standard. 

The changes required to CGMiner from blakecoin would mainly be limited to the the Blake256.cl kernel to add back in the extra rounds of hashing.  Not as simple as it sounds due to the highly optimised code.

This will bring it to a lot of people's attention and I will start trolling it in POLONIEX trolbox. I am just finishing a nice blog post will post it in around ten minutes or so. I bought more on Bittrex too.

Here we go nice blog post for WINCOIN enjoy.. http://bitbillions.net/2014/05/31/alt-currencies-win-coin-review/

Hey guys, just downloaded wallet (v1.2) and its not connecting to any nodes. Any ideas? Do i need to add new nodes?

Jeff

1. You speak about a community deciding things, how is the decision process and how can people get involved?

2. Could you explain me why is this not in the community's best interest to have other pairings? There are people who started mining EduCoin thinking they could sell them 1-2 months later, your are now taking that possibility from them and forcing them to move to EduCoin 2.0 without any chance of getting out.

3. I invest every day 10-15 minutes making several votes on MintPal. If MintPal decides to add us as a EDU/LTC pairing, are you going to do the same as with coin-swap, asking them to remove us from their exchange completely?

4. I would like to support the coin and invest time in it, but the problem is that I feel there is no clarity in the future of it, so i'm not sure if I want to be behind it or not.

5. Uncertainty is the most dangerous thing for any investment. I would request you to make a roadmap and include now a decision on how you want to move forward, so everybody can decide if they are will to invest more time, hardware or money into it.

Getting frustrated again.

Gambel.

Thanks we will check this out and add it to the OP and globaldenomination.org

WinCoin has been added to AllCrypt.com!

Have you been able to mine a PoW block after 10000? Getblocktemplate seems to say you can't...

What will you gain when changing to X11 at this stage? There are a total of 110,000,000,000 coins and you're already at 70,000,000,000. Changing your algorithm will not help you in new miners, etc, as the block reward is already so low.

I would suggest:

1. Really try to get on bittrex.com or so, as you don't have any exchange where you can use your coins, ok, lets stated it differently any good exchange.

2. I would go for POS, just allow people to mine 1 or 2 weeks using POW, but with a big amount of coins that they can mine, else nobody will mine it. Move to POS with a nice yearly return.

You cannot remove any coins... that is the biggest problem here. I've a third idea.

Basically this coin is dying, why not launch a new coin with x% pre-mine. Let this coin die, BUT reward the people that has been mining for you since the beginning, so what you will ask is, that people deposit their EDU coins to your wallet, based on the number of coins they will receive a part of the pre-mine coin. Launch a new coin with a lot less coins!!!! Everything above 10,000,000,000 is way too much.

Just think about it. Have a good marketing team for your coin to market it, and don't be afraid to pay (or invest) for it.
