[ANN]Fedoracoin - The Community is Taking Over [MAIN]

[withfedoraco.in]

MystPhysX, theking7426, we'd like to offer hosting for the new site.

We don't plan on officially supporting it, since we have our own things to code, but I think the best thing to do from here is to fork this: https://github.com/icanprogram/fedoraco.in and make the text a bit more serious.
Then, we'll just host that repo for you.

If everyone is OK with that, I'll send nameserver info to MystPhysX

An API would be nice, and a simple faucet script!  I love it!

Sorry for triple-posting, I should have probably read the entire thread first

There's an Abe API up here: http://fedorachain.info/chain/Fedora/q

Wow looks like things are moving fast. Awesome to see the support from withfedoraco.in - thanks for helping the community out by providing hosting. It seems as if a dev team is starting to grow here so I'd like to get involved. While my programming skills are no where near on par with a lot of people on here, as long as I'm working with someone who has a solid understanding of what they're doing then I definitely think I'll be able to accomplish a lot.

I see a lot of initiatives like gambling sites, faucets, merchant services and I think those are definitely going to help propel the visibility of fedora. In particular, I remember doge-dice.com being one of the best implementations of a simple gambling interface that I've seen. If someone's looking to work on some type of gambling sites (I believe there's already one), I think using that as a guideline would be a great start. Having a feature that allows people to invest in the site is what really sets it apart and I think something like that could be extremely helpful for fedora right now since I think there are many people who will invest that are otherwise just throwing away fedora on coinedup right now for next to nothing...

That said, personally I'd like to work on development of something more central to fedoracoin itself. Either forking the github repo for the site like withfedoraco.in mentioned or beginning to work on updates to the actually fedora client itself as I think it could use some work getting cleaned up / modernized / improved with unique features. Both of these need to be done at some point and with the community starting to rally, I couldn't think of a better time to introduce a new website and a clean, updated fedora client.

Are there plans to form an official dev team and maybe create an IRC chat or something of that nature? Keep me posted, I'm open for anything.

Decided I could get the ball rolling on an IRC channel - #fedoracoin-dev

Channel is public for now while everything is getting figured out, let me know if/when you think that should change and I can make it private and set a password.

Getting pretty psyched about this, I knew it was a only a matter of time before the fedoracoin community surfaced

theking7426 I just sent you a PM about hosting, in regards to the domain name(s).  I can offer free hosting if you need, at a very awesome host.  not hostgator or godaddy or any of that crap.  This has shell access, etc.

Long live the FedoraCoin!

No problem post away. Your ideas and help are helping this move forward. I am in talks right now with some other members, st0ned, and Nthused and we are figuring out the exact plan with design of the website, I meself am not amazing with straigh html and php coding so we are figuring out who will do it and how we should look.

Also that info about the APIis great, good to see there is still so much available that we can utilize.

At the moment we are going to try and keep it community based just because we are just getting the ball rolling, but down the line we will form an official dev team. If sooner is better than later let me know and it can be discussed.

That being said, we would love to have your help as our ideas for the website start becoming a reality, in the meantime if there i anything you could do on the side, like the IRC channel, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the offer I will be removing the donation sheet for the domain hosting now as there have been a few offers.
Your domain hosting offer is now going to be added to the discussion but it does look like a promising option. Will keep you posted.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT FOR THE HOSTING EVERYONE, GREATLY APPRECIATED

We already have #fedoracoin, ##fedoracoin-development and ##fedoracoin-marketing on freenode.
Please note that you are not allowed to use a single pound for channels that are not the main discussion channel for a FOSS project on freenode.

Ok cool thatnks for the update, maybe we have enough IRC channels, I know I was on 1 the other day and there was no activity, which ones have the most active community atm?

Sorry about that, didn't realize that there was an existing development channel, not sure how I had missed it. I'm going to keep the channel for the time being in case there's actually a use for it at some point, but I'll make sure to change the ## and make it private.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

[st0ned]

Glad to see everyone coming together! As theking mentioned, we are in discussions on the various ideas via PM at the moment. Maybe we can all hop on Skype for a group chat or something once we get further along. Should we come up with a signature linking to the various TIPS threads that we can all use to raise some more awareness on what we are trying to do here?

[st0ned]

We need to get the hash rate up.

Any suggestions on how we can accomplish that?

Give out bonuses in TIPS for those who hit certain block numbers or something?

[donatel99]

I will make a newer version of the logo by tomorrow, stay tuned!

Awesome! Can't wait to see it!

[withfedoraco.in]

which ones have the most active community atm?

Only #fedoracoin seems to be really active, the other two are for when people decide to meet to talk about either development or marketing.
People don't normally idle there.

The good news is that, unlike #fedoracoin, they are actively moderated.

[donatel99]

just finished the hat in 3d, dull part is over, now the logo,

[theking7426]

Loving the hat, every post shows people giving more support and it is just what we are looking for.

I am recommending to keep in contact to use the #fedoracoin IRC channel.

At the moment I am not on but I will be recommending all in this movement to keep in touch in there. I will be on a bit later today and more often as the week progresses.

KEEP IT UP


.....ps. We will be holding the vote for the logo contest that many people never got to hear the results from. well the results never happened, the Dev dissapeared so we will continue the logo contest very soon. Either today or tomorrow.

I can help much, helping designing new website and wallet, you can add me to the new fedora team, you can see my company website as my portfolio, www.accapellastudio.net

Love the enthusiasm, we are likely going to keep the site very similar with a few needed changes so we can move forward with other things as we do the website.
That being said.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread we should get a signature made up with the different threads for fedoracoin....

You think you could throw something nice together for that donatel99?

[donatel99]

these are fresh out of the oven, did know which color to take since some take orange and other blue, so i did both for you guys.
