Want to discuss ideas for the coin? See here!About the Community Cryptocoin FoundationThe Community Cryptocoin Foundation (C3) is a virtual entity that will develop and maintain a open source alternate cryptocurrency. The goals of the foundation are to solicit feedback from the community and create a coin that is designed based on consensus and in an open way - with changes that would not be compatible with the normal network. Foundation members are not directly compensated, but they and everyone benefit from contributing to a new alternate cryptocurrency. The Alt Coin CreatedThe goal of this alt coin isn't to be a quick clone and benefit the early adapters who mine at a difficulty of 1. It's have changes and improvements that are not compatible with the bitcoin network. The goal is something that improves upon (not completely changing) bitcoin via changes that would require a hard fork on the bitcoin network. Stages1. Brainstorming and Draft (current stage) 2. Implementation 3. Substantial testing on testnet 4. Launch 5. Continued development and support Joining the foundationThe foundation is currently looking for experienced C++ developers who have experience with the bitcoin codebase, as well as a limited number of community members. The development of this won't be closed - even if you are not a foundation member, you can contribute, but we'd need some organization to prevent chaos. To apply, please reply here with software projects you have worked on (+ github) and your skills, particularly cryptography. This thread is for discussion of the foundation itself. It is not a place to discuss this cryptocurrency.

Coding? Bit of PHP here and there. I'm quite advanced with servers if you need anything there, aswell as anti-ddos protection(the thing that makes a lot of shit go bad).

My background is business analysis, so I help with translating the real world into code, and back again.
Would it be too early for me to get involved at this time?

*Image Removed* I use Localbitcoins to sell bitcoins for GBP by bank transfer!

We're going to have a brainstorming topic very soon where everyone can propose and discuss changes. Please don't be discouraged, everyone can be involved regardless if they are a foundation member or not, (and we will accept non-coders too). It's just that we need developers to bring the ideas into reality, and this part is where a semi organized group helps.

Thanks! Would you be able to set up dns seed servers for the coin?

Why doesn't this foundation just work on an existing coin? Just interested to hear why you think another coin is better than working to improve one right now

Because the changes would involve hard forks

Current Computer Science student here. I don't have much to show in the way of public projects, but have done some systems programming in C as well as a good bit of Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, etc. I can't say I've actually done much with the Bitcoin codebase other than looking over the code a few times.
Other than that, CryptoJunky.com is a compilation of my exploration into CryptoCurrencies. If the development team gets a bit overcrowded, I'd be happy to build a foundation website/forum/etc.

Thanks CryptoJunky! When we have the design of the coin essentially finalized, we'll create a github fork and you might be able to help out with implementing small changes. The currency definitely needs a forum / website, but that's required a bit closer to launch.

I doubt you'll get full commitment of experienced C++ developers on a project that hasn't been spec'd yet, especially if you put artificial restrictions to application. These days there are more projects to participate in than there are developers to do so.

The idea right now is to have a github and people who are interested in helping out can contribute a pull request or so.
