[ANN] TeaCoin [TEA] -@Bittrex - Fast - 0 Premine - 2.5% inflation

[BitcoinNational]

I wouldn't exchange it at the moment,    Only markets that I know of are on https://www.europex.eu/#!coin/btc/tea and https://www.allcrypt.com/market?id=600# (going away soon).   I'm holding and going to continue to Mine the chain.

Would love to see a revival, a new fixed wallet with updated checkpoints and a growing community.

Q. Where are the pools?

Q. Where are the pools?

I have looked and can find no active pools.  No exchanges.  All-Crypt was hacked and is now down.  The Facebook page is non-responsive (Admin won't reply, no one posting, etc.).  Site is gone.  Can't find a usable wallet (only one I could find uses a different icon (not the green leaves teacup icon)), only the source code.  Etc.

As far as I can tell, Teacoin (TEA) is as dead as a crypto can be.  If it were not for the very concept of what Teacoin WAS supposed to represent, I wouldn't even BE here.  Teacoin (TEA) WAS supposed to represent health and happiness by tea consumption.  Apparently that was just a nice idea and pretty image, with no actual substance.  Now we see where that has lead.  It was JUST another "namecoin" (coin with a pretty name) and had the lifespan of one.  But I want to CHANGE that!

If you like DRINKING tea and herbal teas and would like to revive this coin, based on ACTUAL value of said consumption, then speak up.  I have contacted Facebook (on their own Facebook page) and will attempt to acquire the page as the new Admin, but that may be a long shot.  I have recommended they take the page down, if no one can be reached and they can't release it to someone else.  We can restart it, if that happens.

We need someone (a dev) willing to work with this new concept and a different coin source code.  What I envision is totally unlike anything that exists today.  This coin will not be just another "more advanced" version of coin technology, promoted with a nice name, but rather a coin that you actually USE.  This coin may never be worth ANYTHING on an exchange, but it will be 100% USABLE, no matter what.

 Technically, Teacoin COULD be used for this concept, but with so much of it, how do you determine it's actual trade value?  I believe a "hard reset" (totally new concept) is necessary, to make this revival possible.  A new, modified name is also quite likely...

Any comments?  Discussion is the first step...

Q. Where are the pools?

At this time pools are not needed as difficulty is low.  Just open the wallet and on the debug/console use "setgenerate true X" (where X is the number of CPU cores to mine with)  or solo mine it directly with your miner.

Rockytrade is reported, by Firefox, as untrustworthy.  Teacoin on Europex.eu is flatlined, trade-wise.

I seek to give this coin new life and purpose.  A hard reset is necessary.  But, without a dev onboard, it's just wishful thinking.

This is one of the first coins I mined. Still have thousands. Love to see a revival. Needs a hard fork with a 100-1 coin swap, new wallet, POS only (10-20%), and maybe in-wallet tea/coffee trading market. (I'ld love to buy coca tea with teacoin.) Could raise a bounty or do a kickstarter to hire a coder. Talk to presstab of Hyperstake. Great dev and freelances. But I think you should keep the name. It just says it all. Cheers.

[Miner-TE]

Yes, the certificate on rockytrade expired on 3/14/2015 and needs to be updated.  That is what your browser is complaining about.

BTW, I'm not endorsing Rockytrade ...  For those who don't want to take the chance, I'll tell you that the price is 0.00000001 per Tea.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!  Now you're talking.  I'll check with presstab and see if he's interested/available.  If we can all get on board with a single vision (i.e. not everyone having a different idea of how things should go), we just might be able to pull this off.  Any idea how we can get in touch with all Teacoin holders and/or find out who/where they are?

[Miner-TE]

As a holder of TEA,   I'm on board.

BTW, 33 halving intervals remain until the current chain will reset.

I imagine that 1 Satoshi per Tea is as bad as it can get, before it's delisted.  Same on Europex.eu.  It's sleeping with the Titanic... if you know what I mean.

What are the 33 halving intervals?  How long will that take?  And, as for the current chain resetting, what does that mean?  What, exactly does that accomplish?  Is that beneficial to a "hard reset" of Teacoin, itself?

[BubbleTea]

Would the TEA Community be interested in a takeover and conversion to BubbleTea [BUBL] + Backed by physical BubleTea Products ?

We can also provide PoD or Proof of Identity documents.

BubbleTea (also called Boba Tea, if I recall correctly) is a liquid product.  Difficult to ship, except in jars, cans, or bottles.  Didn't think it existed in a dry/powdered form, suitable for shipping.

If you make/ship genuine Thai Tea, I'm all over that , like wet on water.  I'll trade Bitcoin for that!

Please see this post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=840252.0 ... Where I reported it.

Basically, The way the code is written, the block chain will reset the reward every 64 halving intervals.  The original Teacoin developer accelerated  the time between blocks and set the reward to begin at 1000 TEA without doing the math and looking at the way the halving worked.  At the 64th halving interval, the reward started over issuing 1000 TEA/block instead of remaining at 1 TEA. The next halving interval reduced it down to 500/block and so on ...   

It's currently in it's 95th halving interval and rewarding 1 TEA/block but at halving interval 128 the reward will again be 1000 TEA/block.

Other clone coins and Bitcoin itself have the same "bug"... Some have fixed it with a simple "if block height > xxx then fix reward at X"
This is not a problem for Bitcoin until way out in the future. Bitcoin is not on a accelerated halving schedule

As to when,  I calculated 6 months or so ... Depends on the network.

Either way,  The published number of Teacoin to exist is not true.  (Currently X2)

I've gotten in contact with presstab and he quoted me his price and said it should be do-able.

I am willing to pay him, to have this revival made possible, but it will require that enough people think me sane enough to follow my lead.

So, this is where it gets interesting... explaining my plan of action.

This coin will be a direct purchase currency.  Tea and herbal tea.  It has no BTC nor USD value (how can it, initially?).  It's base numeration is 10 coin for 1 teabag (sample).  Beyond that, it's whatever the seller and buyer (the "market") agree to.  This is where an equilibrium is established over time.  Shipping is also covered by an extra number of these coin (I'm thinking 100+), based on what the seller decides is fair compensation for shipping the product to the buyer (which is in USD/Euros, etc.), since they will use said coin to buy tea from someone else in the network.  If you do not like drinking tea/herbal tea, there is no reason to get involved.  Ideally, every seller should be a drinker, to make the most effective network.  Why hold coin you have no use for (i.e you don't like/drink tea) and hs no value outside of this specific network?

The easiest way to make this network simple, is to have everyone grow/make their own herbal teas.  I grow lemongrass, mint, lavender, etc., which can all be used/blended to make herbal teas.  I will gladly be the first to ship a sample to anyone within the USA for 10 + 100 (110 total price) of said coin, when we get the network established and enough people on board to make this project viable.

The idea is to have enough coins to exchange for product (tea), generated through communication and purchases, but not 10's or 100's of thousands or millions of them.  Being a Teacoin millionaire makes it difficult to establish value of the product.  This project is all about building a tight-knit community around this coin and enjoying each other's tea blends and talking about it.  Friendships, consumption, and communication.  That's what I want this coin to build.

I seek to reestablish what Teacoin was MEANT to be used for, not what it became.

My wife nearly dissuaded me from this project, stating the loss of Fiat to ship a product sold for Crypto (she, herself, would not get involved), but that's why I say everyone who sells should also be a drinker, because, that way you can USE the coin to buy tea.  If the "loss" of Fiat (to you) is greater than whatever value you would get out of this coin to buy tea (from another member) to drink, then this project is not viable for you.

It is my belief, that once this revived network gets established and grows enough, outside people (exchanges, other tea dealers, etc.) may establish an "outside value" (BTC, Doge, Litecoin, etc.) and it will be worth something beyond it's original intent.

But, even if it's "outside value" were to become monetarily worthless (as Teacoin has become, today), you would ALWAYS still be able to use it to buy tea and herbal teas from other people on the network.

Teacoin would *NEVER AGAIN* be ever, truely worthless.  If you want tea... you like tea... you can always use your Teacoin to BUY tea.  It's purpose will never be lost because it had no value monetarily.

Save your Fiat for something else... use Teacoin... TO BUY TEA!
