Dying coins you want revived / Broken chains you want fixed

[johhnyUA]

Why do you do such things? To help humster or what? To be honest I don't understand your motivation  
You just lost your money. Or, maybe it's another cunning way to take money from humsters and noobs? Answer please, i'll be very glad bacause i'm very interest in it.


P.S: maybe you just activate blockchain of dead coin. Its seem logically.

Over the next week I will be taking a look at DGC,OPAL and XCN, if i can do it in less than a week, i may add another.

Have you given up on all those three coins?

why to revive garbage? create a better coin if you have time and energy!

Willing to pay to get zoom coin chain started.We spoke before you were going to look at it

Just dropping a note here. I am the last remaining person on the Opal team. I still maintain the website, a couple nodes, and pay for the explorer. I would be interested in chatting with people to get our codebase updated.

PM me or come to #opalcoin on freenode. Make sure you ping me on irc and actually stay in the channel. I will respond.

Thanks,

Hello,

    This is an interesting project.  I'd imagine "revival" includes rebasing the legacy code against the more current versions of the repository from which they were originally forked and cloned.
    When rebasing older coins onto the updated versions of their parent repositories, there are sometimes hard forks in the parent project which are undesirable to introduce into the legacy coin's code.

    For example, suppose some "dead coin" actually still has a swarm of 2 or more full nodes and the blockchain has been running "okay" despite the coin being functionally dead for new users -- implying no DNS Seeds or other problems related to pool hopping and the retarget window.

    It would be a bad idea to release new wallets which fork the Main chain, since those remaining nodes have been "the most stable" and there aren't any guarantees they would update their wallets during a community takeover.

    In thinking about how these revivals would be implemented practically, I figure there needs to be two releases.
    The first release would essentially be a new build of the existing code which included a new checkpoint and updated DNS Seed and pnSeed array addresses.

    This first release would essentially bootstrap the revival, giving new and existing users a chance to have a wallet linked against the non-vulnerable OpenSSL libraries and would include the ability to find the swarm of the Main chain without resorting to addnode entries in the configuration file.

    Then, the second release could address whatever might have been fundamentally flawed in the original code.  Suppose there was some problem related to the propensity for the difficulty to be driven sky high and then a miner abandoning the chain until the difficulty falls back to ground level -- well, "fixing" the retarget window and difficulty adjustment could be discussed on the forum and eventually released.  At the same time, since there would be renewed interest; the community could go through all of the things like logo contests and updating the in-wallet graphics which would be integrated into the second release.

    This gives time for cool things to happen.  After the first release, people can get onboard immediately -- new faucets could be put out there and block explorers could be put up by community members who had otherwise abandoned hope.  Since the first release shows goodwill, it would promote interest in furthering efforts to remedy the dead coin for the near future.  The buzz around logo contests, faucets and other promotions would help create the larger audience needed for the successful second release where hopefully "things will be fundamentally repaired."

    There are other things to consider in general for potential third releases, which might bring the old coin's codebase closer in line with the parent repository -- but that is for discussion later in the thread.

Best Regards,
-Chicago

nascoin,because the bet game is very interesting.

there are a bunch of coins that i want to revive, one is hypercoin, but i would add pow phase this time and leave the experience you cna have with game like csgo and other as a side way to earn this coin, another one is minerals, because i like the concept of limiting the node to avoid big farm raping the hashrate

The only dead coin I have now is chain coin, the coin remain static, the coin is just there.

Do you know why coins stay static?
It is happens when all those people who invested in it is just holding it with the expectation of the raise. Normally the coin doesn't want to grow in this case. I believe there is a big list of such coins. You simply can open an exchanger and look a history of some coin to see it's progress.

[lowbander80]

Is anyone developing chain coin would not mind taking it over if not.I thought it a good coin with prospects

[rainbow169]

Numerai looks dead to me, there aren't much volume. It looks like the investors are all gone. Only the data scientist are playing with it now. Just hope the owner could also help the crypto investor by providing more updates, news and engaging model, e.g. for others to stake on other models. Anything like that could kick off the market again.

HCC, kinda dead and hopefully revived when the chinese regulations are fixed.

[Athreos]

why to revive garbage? create a better coin if you have time and energy!

Well, nostalgia. Everyone that gets into the crypto space will inevitably invest in a coin that dies shortly after. It's nice to think that the coin might come back one day, so our mistakes can be slightly less silly.

On a more related note, it would be interesting to see Digibytes come back, just for the meme potential.

[seizetehday5]

How about ammo rewards? Lots of people got pinched on that ICO pump and dump. Would be great to see the community take this coin in and develop. Already has a DPOS system in place, which is better than POS in some

ways.

I dropped this in favour for a more all inclusive solution that i am still working out the kinks on.

I just found your thread, and like what i see..

There is a coin i created that needs help with revival Flurbo:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2218539.0

Why is this coin dead
I rushed updates, without actually testing, the coin is still on two exchanges, but not currently able to transfer any coins due to no nodes syncing.

The problem/s
1. The network won't sync
 - Although at-least one user managed to sync with lpool.name who happened to still mine new blocks but not syncd with the main network, and had shared the latest blocks with us
2. Wish to change algo
 - Have thought about changing algo, but am unsure if there's a way to have a new algo and still use the old blocks
 - Might have to revive the coin in its POW state, and then fork to a new algo
3. Probably some others can't think of right now.

Who's 'potentially' helping currently
There is currently a team (boxyteam) in talks with me now about possibly helping revive / maintain,
And also a developer that is aiding Unobtanium with development, may in the future possibly help out as well although nothing set in stone.


If you'd be interest in helping revive this project would be great to hear from you !!
Thanks in advance.

I had millions of PANDA coins back in 2014, but the coin died after 2 weeks after Wolong the cheater dumped premine.  Would be nice to see it resurrecting.

[Godwans]

Why would you want to revive dead coins?
They are dead because they have no purpose or were not accepted by investors. Why not spend the time and energy on a new coin/token?

[qiwoman2]

Two coins I wish were revived but I don't have my wallet.dats anymore for these coins but they were fun and we had a big community behind both the coins. ONE WAS FUCKBANKSCOIN and the other one was PLANKTCON COIN. We really thought these were going to be the big coins but the developers both ran away form the projects, which really scuked big time as I had like millions of each one lol and had paid decent money to get them.  When they died, so did my investment in them lol.
