Now that's what I call a thorough answer, awesome!
The mini-exchange idea sounds interesting, but don't underestimate the knowledge and security that are required to make it somewhat hack-proof. An audit might be in place, but that costs a LOT of money. Also a lot of time and effort are required if this is to be done properly. Is it safe to assume this mini-exchange idea is planned for a later stage when the coin has established a more solid base? Great idea nonetheless!
I am well aware of the safety issues these kind of services have. Of course I will not make anything public before an audit has been done
I agree, transitioning the coin from PoW to either PoS or a PoS/PoW hybrid might be a good move. How about combining PoS with a special staking reward program? Might make the coin even more interesting for (new) investors. If the community votes for a transition to PoS or PoS/PoW hybrid, will you start with a clean chain?
You're right about the fact that a lot of features have already been (newly) introduced by other cryptocurrencies. And it's not always necessary to reinvent the wheel, so I personally believe this gives Chipcoin a great opportunity to choose from a plethora of already developed features. How about creating - besides the PoS reward incentive - some sort of second layer incentive? Not sure if that will fit the concept of Chipcoin, but it was merely a quick thought.
I have a few ideas in mind for PoS. I personally favor hardcoded pos blocks. As in 1 CHIP per PoS block instead of rewards based on a yearly %. It has to be worth it to stake your coins! The bad news is, this will probably involve a swap, so a new chain indeed... Coding PoS into the current source is one hell of a job to do.. And requires a lot of testing. It is way easier to clone a solid working source, and built the coin's future features from that
Hmm.. I honestly don't see any added value in nor the need of creating a merchandise store let alone merchandise in itself. Why would anyone want to buy a Chipcoin shirt? Unless I have misinterpreted the idea, could you elaborate on this? Perhaps focussing on social media actions (like the Twitter campaign you mentioned) to create more awareness is a better move.
A whitepaper would be great, looking forward to the first draft.
My compliments about your interaction with the community. I like how you discuss everything with the community first and keep up the positive vibe. KUDOS to you!
Really curious to see where Chipcoin will be heading.
A webshop with merchandise is pure service. Some people really do buy shirts and other stuff of the coin they support. Besides that a few other things will be added as well overtime
