We are studying the project. ATM the biggest differences are:
- different distribution
- long time support
But others could came.
I hope for all the RaiBlocks holder that Colin come back and updates the project often.
@kaselit - good to hear you are bringing raiblocks concept back!
I have a suggestion for win-win strategy with rai's fork:
1) forget about ICO, no one after recent big icos is going to invest
2) code in the fork:
- fees for every transaction - something like 0.01pct/tx size - hardcode it in clients/nodes -> this way, you do not need ICO to sustain development, you will get funds from fees
3) bring back free faucet distribution + take a fee out of every faucet claim (more money for dev team)
- make faucet distribution diff exponential (to slow down new coins on the market in time)
- distribution period should be at least 5y
4) announce total coin supply - I would suggest something around 100mil+
5) announce coin swap: 1:1 rais for new coin => this way, you will effectivelly distribute around 10% of the total supply (if 100mil) right from start and also gain loyal following from original rai userbase
6) announce coin airdrop (at least another 5-10%) before launch to gain new users in addition to original rai's userbase.
7) out of airdrop keep some for the dev team (maybe around 1/3rd ?)
8 ) announce crowdfund for Bittrex listing (3btc) atm - to get listed on launch on bigger&more estabilished exchange.
9) ditch the god damn telegram for chat - most people here are on IRC or Slack so choose one of these platforms and announce discussion channel
------------------------
This way, you:
- do not need ICO & userbase can be sure devs will continue the work in the future, because they'll be paid by tx/faucet fees meaning they need to support long term adoption of the coin to maintain its price to get funds for the development
- you and dev team will have more than enough money for development going forward
- you make original rai's userbase happy with the swap and they will spread the word and be loyal supporters
- you make happy a lot of new people with airdrop - they will market your coin all over
- you make happy faucet workers by bringing faucet distribution back in after mainnet launch
Just my 2c
