[ANN] VGC - VegasCoin

[bubble83]

The devs should pay someone to fix the sync issue if they can't do it themselves. VegasCoin's investors are losing money because of this.

Indeed

For example: http://thealtcoinguys.com/

fix the issues, add pos and wallet makeover please!

Thanks for the link, it could come in handy for another coin that its devs care about.

Is there any place in Vegas where I can pay with this "coin"?

They say so on the website, but I have no experience buying anything with it

Maybe someone else has tried?

Im considering doing a takeover of this coin as this is my city coin. I want you to post here if you have any interest in me resurrecting this coin. DO NOT PM ME. I want the community to vote publicly. *IF* I get enough serious users posting here I will move forward with a professional take over. This coin  might be too dead, Im not sure. Lets hear your voice.

Relaunch it with a fresh genesis block and blockchain and you have my Support. Takeovers of abandoned coins are always a bit Problematic imho as you know nothing about the Distribution..  It is like buying a pig in a Poke

I think that is VERY sound advice! I probably have the highest respect for you out of anyone in the crypto community.

I can tell you that the owner of VegasCoin.com who I have been in talks with since day 1 is planning to take over the coin.  I am not sure if his details, but I think he has a better shot then you do.  I plan to help hand over what apps, technology, and other resources I have already finished to best help him.  So far to date, we have over $40,000 USD invested into VGC development and promotions.  So I think someone trying to do this without my support, would be missing out on a great deal of progress.

You are joking, right? If this is true this can be among probably top 3 worst managed projects in cryptocurrencies.

Not to be poisonous, but I'm having a problem accepting the premise that you could simply take over the coin by announcing that you are taking over the coin. Can you explain how you come to this apparent conclusion? I was unaware it has been so simple this whole time.

Also, if you can do it, then what is it you are asking for, exactly? What do you need to hear before you would promise a professional resurrection? Because, so far it looks like you are asking the current serious users to allow you to scrap everything and start over. If the coin is not dead, you would like to kill it and create a new coin? Is that correct? I'm not following how you need anybody's vote to do that. If you can do that, then what is stopping you?

It is easy to take a coin over when it is dead. You just need the few people that own it and exchanges if it is on any to accept your fork.

Any one hire escort by using VGC at all ?

[vegasguy]

Yes, as long as the coin is abandoned (open to definition) ANYONE can take full control over the coin. This coin is certainly abandoned as before this dev Yates had not logged on after Febryary 12th 2015. Only when I emailed him, and told him of my intentions he logged on. Out of respect for Yates, im going to give him 30 days to show solid proof that this coin is progressing and most importantly has a fully functioning block chain, and show some king of progress moving forward, otherwise Im taking it over. For those of you not in the know about community takeovers, its 100% legal as it is all open source and nobody owns the rights. I still dont understand what the hell cost $40,000. Im trying to think up SOMETHING and I cant. Ill wait the 30 days, and then its rock and roll Vegas style! The coin will be worth a mint. Im brilliant with money and retired at 42 in the computer business, and never have to work again. Stay tuned!

Why wait 30 days? 

We've all been waiting for over 400 days and...well...you know...

Yates has clearly stated that there's zero effort being put into VGC atm. There was even talk about a 'takeover' on fb...
And I quote: "I look forward to any take over, but the fact is it wont really be a TAKE OVER.. more of a hand over lol, to someone who can run it better by devoting more time to the project and fans."

I am going to need time as I dont throw anything together. Ever. Ive owned many brick and mortar shops in Vegas for the past 20 years and they have all done very well, and I dont do anything half assed. I need to sit down and write a plan and add to it as I come up with ideas over the weeks. I will need to completely rethink Vegas coin. It wont be another shitcoin thats just thrown together. Everything I do, I take much pride in and put my heart and soul into. My integrity is higher than anyone you will ever meet. So if your looking for fast, thats not going to happen. If your looking for dedication and quality and a steady solid climb, thats me.

If your still not sure about me or my dedication to crypto and the quality I bring just click www.bitcoinlasvegas.net  'nuff said!

All I'm saying is the dev's are practicly handing it to you. No point in waiting to get started. Dedicated, steady and solidly climbing of course... 

Technical question as a 'nub' Does the takeover include taking over the blockchain. In other words, will the current supply of VGC be included?
I imagine alot of people - like myself - are still holding some VGC and wonder what would happen with their current balance.
So would you plan taking over the coin or just the name?

I like the idea, I would suggest doing some kind of coin swap on the new chain for those long term supporters that did not sell when I suggested.

Maybe a 1 new for 8 old type swap to keep those long term supporters loyal ---- This of course depends on the supply and what is most fair.


I would also suggest getting away from Scrypt or SHA256 and go with Qubit or Quark -- Ocminers input on the Algo would probably be best.


I think 30-60 days for a takeover is more than reasonable

my 2 cents

[vegasguy]

The blockchain is frozen. So I have some decisions to make. Hardfork it and attempt to get chain going again, or do a coin swap. Most likley its going to stay scrypt. The original dev Yates DOES own the rights to a tiny part of this coin. He made some custom vegas chips. For the most part the coin is open source. I want to redo the wallet graphics, and Im  horrible with graphics, but I may have found a professional to hire. The best scenario Im shooting for is for everyone to retain their funds, including myself. So, Im going to do everything in my power not to start over at 0. Everything is in planning stages, so Im still writing a plan and talking with other professionals about my options.

[___TR___]

I am for a takeover. I would like to see it stay a scrypt coin though. It would also be nice to get the coins I have lost in unconfirmed transactions back.
