[ANN][FlappyCoin][???] FlappyCoin is transforming! (We are still here!)

[zeukin]

Hi guys, americanpegasus here. 
 
I'm a notorious supporter of the crypto community, and I just now caught up on all the drama that's been going on with your coin vs. the 'fake' coin.    
 
Let me give you some honest advice, and it's not going to feel good:  They have won. 
It's not fair; it's not right, but they have permissions to use the flappy name and have the 'flappy' motif going everywhere.  They even registered the subreddit before you www.reddit.com/r/flappycoin and they have captured your momentum.   
 
This fight is over, and now we have to face the truth: You worked hard on your coin, and it's not fair to give up now.  But you will be wasting your time to release this as 'flappy coin'. 
 
But I have an alternate solution for you because I like to be the good guy of the internet. 
 
Call it CandyCoin [CANDY]   
 

 
I am not a developer so I have no hope of ever launching my own coin.  But I know a good thing when I see it, and I can see you have done a lot of work with this one.  So don't give up; just rebrand. 
I have even gone ahead and registered the subreddit for you guys (www.reddit.com/r/candycoin) and the user name candycoin on Reddit. 
 
I'll happily give you full control of that subreddit if you decide that you want to go this route.  Branding is important, and so many good brand names have been taken already. 
I'm not asking for anything in return; I just hate to see you in such a poor situation! 
 
If you don't like CandyCoin, I have two more ideas for you to rebrand as.  Since the failure of Coinye, we are in need of another urban branded crypto.  Enter Bling, otherwise known as BlingCoin. 
 
Bling-bling baby!   
 
Ok, last one.  We have a few animal alts, right?  But you know what we don't have??  A fucking dinosaur coin.  That's right.  Get your butts ready, because here comes REX COIN, a crypto 65-million years in the making: 
 
 
I also have reserved the subreddit for these coins as well (that I will be more than happy to turn over!). 
 
Let me know if you like these ideas; I would love to help you guys out - you seem very well meaning.
 

 

 

haha I actually love your ideas. Let's not have others steal your ideas before OP implements one of them lmao.

so is today the day, would like to hear from the dev. maybe you guys could change the name to flappybird coin.

you make some good points americanpegasus. would like to know the devs position on this. 

[Cryptomancer]

I don't care which flappy one is real and "official". You have premine, you will fail.

one comes first, serves first

An update from us.

Because of this whole unfortunate situation with 'the fakes', we have been discussing the following options:

1. Release coin today as planned with FlappyBird name and see what happens. It is however unlikely many people would support our coin and it would create a massive confusion in the already confused crypto world.
2. Release the coin renamed to something similar (for instance FlappyBirdCoin). We would make ourselves 'copycats' this way though, it might be hard to get sensible support at this point.
3. Rebrand the coin and release something completely unique. This would kind of invalidate our work so far, but it is probably is the best plan if we want to be taken seriously and make something fresh in the community.

So we made a painful decision to hold the release and rebrand our coin completely. We are STILL IN THE GAME and actually plan to deliver something really fabulous. We are not going to rush the coin and got plenty of ideas.

We are not going to disclose anything more at this point (you all know how it ends...), but I can assure you that the upcoming release from our (now former) 'FlappyCoin team' will be BIG.

Many thanks to all of you who continuously support us and to those who provide us with some constructive criticism

AP here again. 
 
Listen folks; I have been talking with these devs, and from what they have told me, their coin is going to be amazing.  It really will; I can't disclose some of the details they gave, but just from the technicals alone we are looking at a Top 10 (maybe 5?) coin here. 
 
I am working on a branding idea with them that isn't one of the ones I listed earlier (if you are interested in using those earlier branding ideas, please contact me and we will happily work together).  The brand concept I have for these guys though?  It blows those out of the water.  A game changer.   
 
I am working through some details now, and I hate to get everyone excited in this early of a stage (when it might not even be possible yet), but there's a chance that these devs and this coin might make internet history. 
 
Stay tuned.

The funny thing is that both versions of Flappycoin are pretty much identical in terms of parameters (scrypt with 60 seconds block time and no new innovations).

[ghur]

If your only novelty is the name... maybe you shouldn't be creating a new coin at all?

[americanpegasus]

So, once again.  The dev has some amazing technical things that haven't been done before.  Vertcoin 'succeeded' just based off doing some new and innovative in a technical sense. 
 
If combined with the right branding, this coin could go to space easily.
 
As we can see with the Flappy debacle though; not too much can be said publicly due to idea-thievery.

Like? What does it offer beyond being a generic scrypt coin?
If does such a thing, the main post does a terrible job communicating this.

Actually, the idea behind the coin has been totally transformed now - the OP is not really relevant any more.
We are keeping the OP as it is to remind of ourselves and to mock these 'fakes' a bit.

In the meantime we are working hard to deliver our completely new, groundbreaking coin.

We are closing this thread now and will come back with a brand new announcement for our new project when we are ready. Stay tuned!
