[ANN] Ħ [HODL] No Staking, 1% Standard Interest per Day, 750% APR For HOdlers

[danXmas]

Thanks bitnod and I agree. Lets talk about this 

[bitnod]

which could give me a synthesis of Hodl

team/developper: actual ?
dev hodl : in progress.. ?
Specifications : change since hardfork ?
Interest Rates : change since hardfork ?
Term Deposits : change since hardfork ?

hardfork ok
wallet 3.0.1 ok
block exploreur ok

dusting in progress ... several ideas
probably a first draft tonight

web, identity, community
WARNING !! heavy  

[danXmas]

All legitimate questions.

I'll add some stuff.

-Keep the humor of HOdlcoin moving forward

-New website

-Delete Youtube promo vid (and now somewhat superfluous references to bitcoin)

-Establish official discord/slack and telegram

-Do more to show how the coin is special

-More communication with FreeTrade

-Possible hardfork (if possible without chain-split) featuring improvements/features

-New wallets (maybe light wallets also) and "mobile" wallets

-Look into more exchanges and consider how to best position/prepare HODL for approval

Let's throw some ideas around

[bitnod]

first:

-Keep the humor of HOdlcoin moving forward

-New website

-Delete Youtube promo vid (and now somewhat superfluous references to bitcoin)

-Establish official discord/slack and telegram

-Do more to show how the coin is special

-More communication with FreeTrade

Currently, I consider:

- New ANN
- New website
&
Community portal (ex feedstream community ...)
- New Facebook
- New Twitter
- New youtube ... and others to protect
- New slack

No worries ... just 1 to 3 days

With the existing bases enough materials to work ... it will always be hodlcoin but with a variant name

avoids the "unofficial" - "official" ....
ndd repository: .com (general) / .io (labs and others) ..


once that is done, we take care of the rest

-Possible hardfork (if possible without chain-split) featuring improvements/features

-New wallets (maybe light wallets also) and "mobile" wallets

-Look into more exchanges and consider how to best position/prepare HODL for approval

Let's throw some ideas around

I do not think it necessary to review for now the hardfork.

- new wallet & new exchange ok

 

[danXmas]

"Community portal (ex feedstream community ...)"

I think I follow you and this would be good.

Some kind of semi-regular updates would be nice also so that people can know they are not just wasting electricity etc.

A good step would be for many of us to make sure we post/discuss here regularly as we begin to transition into the next phases.

I won't hodl my breath though.

if anyone wants to discuss ideas, website design, a HOdlcoin mobile mining wallet (also all the rage) please do

Edit: I've come to realize that mining this particular coin on mobile might not be reasonable at present.

an idea ?

Objectif HODLcoin 1$ min 30 days.. challenge

start ?!

lol, 30 days. Maybe a year or so but we would need:

-Major exchange listings

-Updated website

-New promo videos

-New wallets and mobile wallets

-Consistent promotion

I may be willing to donate .1btc toward an exchange listing and if anyone else is please make yourselves known. How to go about pooling the money would have to be discussed so it's done safely. Maybe FreeTrade could coordinate it.

lol, 30 days. Maybe a year or so but we would need:

- possible  too long as hodlcoin sleeps

-Major exchange listings

- last because currently Hodlcoin prehistoric vestiges (other crypto more modern of appearance) 800..

-Updated website

- update no ... just TNT ... erases and restarts :p

-New promo videos

- why not

-New wallets and mobile wallets

- essential

-Consistent promotion

- new support, new identity, new info... hmmm great GO Hodl

I may be willing to donate .1btc toward an exchange listing and if anyone else is please make yourselves known. How to go about pooling the money would have to be discussed so it's done safely. Maybe FreeTrade could coordinate it.

- wait best platform exchange full, and far from ready
minimum 2-3btc for 1 year

[danXmas]

"- last because currently Hodlcoin prehistoric vestiges (other crypto more modern of appearance) 800.."

I agree and we should work on other stuff first.

[HodlOrava]

(I wrote this message before messages on page 239 was written)

Below is a recap of develepoment ideas.

My suggestions.

1. Fix the syncin proglems. Wallets doesn't find new nodes.
1.2 DNS seeders/crawlers like https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder
2. New more active web page with tutorials and faqs. Stuff like this
"HOdlcoin already has greater capacity than Bitcoin due to more frequent blocks. Following the implementation of this HIP, HOdlcoin will have a capacity of 116 times that of Bitcoin. " should be advertised.
https://medium.com/@freetrade68/hodlcoin-improvement-proposal-001-a802f9948d68
3. Make wallet app start up faster.
4. Bittrex?
5. Own pool?

I don't know about all technical details but I would like to see Hodlcoin to be most easiest way to the world of cryptocurrencies. Kindergarten teachers shoudl be able to mine and send coins without problems.

HOdl coin discussion and I need input from the community please...

• New Website Domain Name: How about hodl-coin.com? ( wow what if FReeTrade would transfer the existing domain? )
• When I do the fork do we want to make any changes to the coin?
• Do we want to change the logo?
• Do we want to change the ticker?
• The new block explorer I will self host at the coin's new website.
• The new seed nodes I will provide at multiple co-locations.
• What new exchanges would you want me to pay for the coin to be listed at?
• I think the new website should include an exchange section to buy/sell/swap the coin?
• I think I need to produce a road map graphic of this coins forward agenda.
• Do you think this thread is good or should a new one be started?

The new website I have my head wrapped around it. Here are my thoughts. First off alt coins need to not be about the coin but rather about the community. An altcoin is nothing without its community. (period) The new site I have in my mind a kind of Facebook clone. It will have a streaming wall like Facebook where members can post text, photos, videos etc. Posts can be shared, commented liked etc. Also the site will have groups that can be created and joined both closed groups and open groups. The site will have live chat for person to person or group chat as well. The site should have a discussion board something like what we have here but also a blog section. Members should add threads to the discussion board and also be able to create blog posts.

The community site should be focused on the community of HOdl coin but past that it's not HOdl only. In other words as altcoin peeps we have many other interests in terms of other coins, crypto in general and even general discussion. Thusly the website should be a community environment where we are free to discuss all of the things that interest us.

Last but not least I've noted a few posts here that are very derogatory to the original developer FreeTrade. IMHO I think this is negative energy. FreeTrade has done no evil but rather has devoted a good deal of cash, labor, blood sweat and tears to this coin and with that being said this is a great coin and as a devoted community we will work together to make it much better. Look at the details.... no premine, no instamine, the recent code development at github and the list goes on. My suggestion is that we should be thankful to FreeTrade for his contributions to get us where we are today! Bad mouthing and talking poorly of the original developer will not help this coin to get better trust me.

You read this now start talking. This coin is moving forward centered on the community. I need to hear what you have to say so... yeah just start talking!

I like the idea of active web page. Too many coins have a static web page. I would like to people see that we trying to help them. Guides and FAQs are important. I'm quite new to cryptocurrencies and I would have liked to see more info at web pages. Instead of centralized info I had hundreds of pages forum threads. Hodlcoin should be easy for beginners.

I was thinking about integrating pool mining to wallet but maybe guide how to start pool mining is better. Should we host our own pool?

I would love to hear the community opinion on this but my preference is no pool mining but solo mining only....

I'm afraid of that "solo mining only". When using pool you get coins everyday. I like to check my wallet every day and make deposits. Some how it is addicting and fun. Even if you don't have much CPU power you still get steady income. Even kids can mine some coins after school and see those coins in their wallets. No need to be mega miner if you don't want to. Easy to start.

My Monero wallet is much much more valuable than Hooldcoin wallet. I still prefer Hodlcoin. Monero is not interesting to mine. Payment thresholds are 0.3 - 1.0 XMR. This takes weeks or months. I should have got my 0.3 XMR (28$). I have not opened my Monero wallet since... I don't remenber. I demonstrated Hodlcoin to one of my friends. It was easy and he had some coins in his wallet in no time. Suprnova pool takes some time to configure. optiminer.pl is easier. I would like to see a GUI for hodlminer.exe.

Hodlcoin doesn't need Asics or GPUs. Basic CPU is enough so Hodlcoin should be easy enough for basic users.

Monero was profitable until it became popular , in the last 100 days the global hashrate doubled and the difficulty trippled, mostly due to Korea listing it on their exchange, when a coin becomes popular it attracts more miners, the global hashrate increases to a point where solominers wont be making much.. this is the normal lifecycle of all non-POS altcoins... And that is excluding the impact of botnets who essentially mine with stolen equipment.

To Disasterfaster and fishmaster, from a technical point of view the challenges of taking over hodlcoin are going to be:
- block explorer
- seed nodes
- Faucet site ( on testnet and mainnet ) to help new people ? there was a good one on mainnet.
- ability to built wallet for windows / linux / macosX , right now only Fuzz knows how to do it, using his computing resources. ( I only know how to build the linux wallet ).
- exchanges ( yes rebranding is needed ).
- more developers needed !!
   - technical topics needing to be discussed:
      1 - payement gateway , needed if you ever want to see light-wallet type apps use Hodl , look at existing api's see if we can integrate
      2 - Freetrade HIP002 proposal , https://medium.com/@freetrade68/hodlcoin-improvement-proposal-002-adf802d2ccb7
      3 - The size of the blockchain and the wallet load time ( for me its 5 mins ).
      4 - the automation , speed at which we can make new wallets / releases ( volunteer QA people )
- The official website with download links to official software
- Official youtube / twitter / slack channel or telegraph ?
And finally partnerships with like-minded projects.

Your right it needs a leader with fire in their belly , but it also needs a lot of time and energy  ,people forgot sometimes this isn't our main payed job

• block explorer - I can build and self host this at the new website no problem.
• seed nodes - I currently have seed nodes running in San Francisco, London, Singapore and Kansas City so I see no issue taking care of this.
• faucet site - I don't see a big issue with this and I would hope the community could donate up some coins for faucet(s).
• ability to built wallet for windows / linux / macosX - I can do all of that compiling myself no problem there.
• exchanges - I am already working on a new logo. I am willing to help fund new/additional exchange listings.
• more developers needed - True that but honestly I think I can handle this and I do have in-house help.

1 - payment gateway , needed if you ever want to see light-wallet type apps use Hodl , look at existing api's see if we can integrate.

I agree on this and it would be a more medium to long range goal.
 
2 - Freetrade HIP002 proposal , https://medium.com/@freetrade68/hodlcoin-improvement-proposal-002-adf802d2ccb7

I think this would be an improvement and not really difficult to code.

3 - The size of the blockchain and the wallet load time ( for me its 5 mins ).

Another area for improvement and I would love to hear suggestions on how to best achieve this.

4 - the automation , speed at which we can make new wallets / releases ( volunteer QA people )

More help would sure be nice but I think things can be done quickly enough.

5 - The official website with download links to official software.

Once the logo is ready I can have the site up and running ready to go within about 2 weeks.

6- Official youtube / twitter / slack channel or telegraph ?

I would say YouTube is mandatory for a location for tutorial and marketing videos. Plus that I can market YouTube videos for about .06 USD per video view. Facebook would also be mandatory and there I can market videos for about .02 per view. Twitter is okay and can have a coin page there no problem. As far as slack/telegraph I am confident once you see the site I am going to build the coin site will have this function integrated. The new site will have community groups, live chat, discussion board, and blog.

Good to see you in here inputting. I know you've been very involved in this coin and I really hope you'll continue to be an active member of the community. Quick question, have you been getting paid to do coding work on the coin or did you donate this? Would you be interested in doing coding work going forward either donating your time or in exchange for pay?

Looks like many alt coins use modified Bitcoin seeder https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder . If that was forked for Hodlcoin we could easily run DNS seeders. DisasterFaster might run one for us?

All legitimate questions.

I'll add some stuff.

-Keep the humor of HOdlcoin moving forward

-New website

-Delete Youtube promo vid (and now somewhat superfluous references to bitcoin)

-Establish official discord/slack and telegram

-Do more to show how the coin is special

-More communication with FreeTrade

-Possible hardfork (if possible without chain-split) featuring improvements/features

-New wallets (maybe light wallets also) and "mobile" wallets

-Look into more exchanges and consider how to best position/prepare HODL for approval

Let's throw some ideas around

[bitnod]

interesting proposal

1. Fix the sync problems. Wallets doesn't find new nodes.

manual update Hodlcoin.conf ( all crypto ). Currently the community is old :p die  or sleep.. about new nodes ^^
no prob sync for now wallet 3.0.1 OK

1.2 DNS seeders/crawlers like https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder

Why not..

2. New more active web page with tutorials and faqs. Stuff like this
"HOdlcoin already has greater capacity than Bitcoin due to more frequent blocks. Following the implementation of this HIP, HOdlcoin will have a capacity of 116 times that of Bitcoin. " should be advertised.
https://medium.com/@freetrade68/hodlcoin-improvement-proposal-001-a802f9948d68

in progress.. we work on it (me & danXmas) for a proposal at FreeTrade & team

3.  Make wallet app start up faster.

review with potentiel/project new wallet & mobile...

4. Bittrex?

we do not make the weight for the moment .. other more accessible and serious at the moment. but this will come

5.own pool?

not a worry for now .. but not a problem !.
and currently Pool OK

---------------

several points currently being studied for development (& reviving) the HODLCoin ecosystem.

come on

Slack
or
telegram

for proposal and solution

[danXmas]

@HodlOrava:

You made some great points and some that should be written down really, such as:

-HOdl's possible superiority to bitcoin and why

-HOdl should be so easy anyone can do it

-Reinforcing the idea that wallet updates should come

-Easy of use is near the top of the list and console commands etc. should be 100% optional

Will check it out later. Is there a full backup of the blockchain available for download? Node syncing seems a bit slow for me.

Edit: Syncing completed without much delay. Got the nodes from coinexchange.io.

1. Fix the sync problems. Wallets doesn't find new nodes.

manual update Hodlcoin.conf ( all crypto ). Currently the community is old :p die  or sleep.. about new nodes ^^

Do your Windows wallet search new nodes? My Windows wallet can find only hardcoded nodes and nodes in hodlcoin.conf. Finding new nodes fails. I think Windows wallets are broken. Compilation problem?

I run my dedicated Linux node with -churn parameter and it finds atleast 30 nodes. MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS is 8 by default but with -churn and -outboundconnections parameters you can make it higher.

/hodlcoin-cli getconnectioncount gives 37. I have many inbound connections.

Code:

void setChurnMode(int outboundconnections){
    churnNode=true;
    MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = outboundconnections;
}

https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin/blob/HODLCoin0.11.3/src/net.cpp

Code:

    int isChurn = GetArg("-churn", 0);
    if(isChurn){
        int outboundconnections = GetArg("-outboundconnections", 50);
        setChurnMode(outboundconnections);
}

https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin/blob/HODLCoin0.11.3/src/init.cpp

I just installed Linux wallet and after some time the outbound connection count is 8. Wallet is requesting node addressed fron other nodes. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery#Ongoing_.22addr.22_advertisements
