[ANN][Datacoin] Datacoin blockchain start announcement (Minor code upd + logo)

Until it gets merged with what?

The datacoin source code doesn't seem to have any hardcoded dns seeds, unless I'm just looking in the wrong place (/src/net.cpp), the original author just commented out the primecoin ones.

correct, thats why i created a fork and sent a pull request. but i never got any response nor accept/decline. some/alot (depends on how many ppl use datacoin) used this branch (as seen by my dnsseed) but it aint free and i see no reason to support something which is dead, or a dev who cant simply merge a pull request.

Have you tried sending it again? I really wonder what happened to the dev at this point.

No need to "send again", its not something you can miss.
He stopped to respons to PMs (not only me) and vanished completely afterwards.

Why is there literally no block explorer for datacoin? Somewhere where I can paste an addy and check the balance?

there were 2 block explorers. but since dev disappeared for months now, community also stopped caring and the coin is almost dead although is being used for storj i think.

I am wondering how it would be used for storj? o.o and how would it affect datacoin's price

Did datacoin.info get taken down?

[lovecraftian]

I've messaged and e-mailed maxsolnc, the owner of datacoin.info, to see if he'll accept free hosting so we can keep the site going. No reply yet, if anyone can contact him more directly please put him in touch with me, thanks.

may the dtc be born-again when its price reaches 2＄

[northranger79510]

It'd be nice if someone can hack into the original dev. account and take over it.

To be honest datacoin is a perfect opportunity for a good C++ developer who's interested in the technology. The coin is super-cheap due to being abandoned by its original dev. You could quite happily buy yourself into the top 10 addresses without too much outlay, fork the coin on github and start doing interesting things with the code.
You would have a financial incentive, an already respected coin that clearly was not premined and has a fair distribution and also the cachet of working on doing something innovative with blockchain technology. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.

A lot of (insta)miners lately, it has to do with a new GPU miner for Primecoin or what?
