The Cypherfunks[FUNK]: a coin for a global band! Talking v2. Join! 80+ songs

Thanks for keeping the chain going!

I'm amazed that with only two Gridseeds, I have (at this point singlehandedly?) managed to keep the blockchain happy, and by that I mean synchronized. All I know is when I stop mining FUNK, the blockchain goes on vacation. (BTW - how is blockchain not in the dictionary on bitcointalk.org by default?)

Please get back to me on that automatic burning (XCP & Mastercoin). I definitely want to do this the right way (whatever that is). We don't have any real deadlines, so let's figure out what works best. I always like to learn from others mistakes and successes.

I don't mind a hard fork if entirely necessary, it worked for Darkcoin (although the price did go down afterwards). Technical implementations sometimes require a hard (boot, fork, or whatever). We all know hard forking isn't done wily-nily.

I like the massive exponential decay theory, or whatever you guys call it these days.. If we slow burn the funk in our wallets, so we HAVE to spend it.. It just might be the model currency for the future. That money is burning a hole in my virtual pocket, and I want to spend it.. On great music, clean water, and delicious food for all!!

Let's make it happen people.

EDIT: Big thanks to everyone involved lately!

Interesting article I found out about from Max Keiser on the Telegraph:

@groggin.

Sweet. Will take a look at hobonickels.

@soundposition.

Yes. I have the seednodes mining as well, but it's not enough (clearly). If that's the only thing mining it, it might tank again.

I'll try find time to check out the various parts (hobonickels, auto-burning etc) during this week. I'm away with family so it might be difficult. Will try!

nice find groggin! They're at double our pages

I do think it's pretty scammy to have a 24 hour PoW period with so-called ninja launch tho...

I can't tell if it's a scam entirely. It's obvious that the dev has in a short amount of time made some people very unhappy. I can't help but notice that their ideas seem almost completely inspired by what we have been discussing on this thread.

[soundposition]

Apparently the 'people' involved in the coin are accused of being known scammers. They won't publish their real names for example. It turns out they have apparently abandoned Rox coin to start another scam coin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683355.80

The reason they have twice as many forum posts on bitcointalk, is because they have made lots of people lose money. What it seems they do is market manipulation. They try to make people think it's going to go up and down, and then make trades to benefit themselves. Disgusting really.

The posts on this thread are full of creative ideas from compassionate people. That's priceless..

[soundposition]

Here's my final take on this "Rox" coin. Someone saw the opportunity to make money off this 'idea'. My concern is the damage this will do to the trust that potential supporters have in the 'idea'.. We can maintain our integrity and this will hopefully earn back some of the trust lost due to apparently malicious intent.

[groggin]

yea it seems our little world has more than it's share of scammers, we can't let them push us into the shadows ... 

glad we'll be doing something soon

MINBOX

I found a great new FREE Dropbox alternative with no snarky TOS and NO UPLOAD LIMITS! w00t!

To show you I uploaded some stems to share:

Multi - Say you love her (Stems)

I had to of course test it out first before recommending it. Awesome!

EDIT: Did I mention it's SUPER-SUPER FAST!

Thanks man! My internet is so patchy (visiting my sister). Will be back in the swing of things on Tuesday.

Regarding roxcoin. Saw it. Not fussed. Quick bandwagon coin. We're in it for the long haul. When we relaunch we can already show the big impact we've made so far.

Guys. One thing that worries me, is that I worry that it will take longer than expected to relaunch the coin. I'm swamped with stuff [my start-up is slowly eating away all time I have]. So please, please just bear with me. I promise it will get done eventually. I've stuck with this project since it launched. I'm not going away. Great things take time. . None of this scamcoin bullshit.

Love you guys!

to increase public awareness is desirable

most have no clue how much state subsidized central banks + fractal reserve lending rip us off

Cheers for the vote of confidence. I'm back in the swing of things. So will spend some this week on the relaunch!

Still been lurking here time to time...lots of great ideas I see...can't wait to see where it goes.. is there any pools still up other than 0x0a p2pool and n00bsys0ps p2pool (no active miners on Noobs)? Every time I sync my wallet I feel like I won the lottery.

Haha. Totally. Think those are the only pools atm.

Are we letting the blockchain die for now and turn off the miners?  Right now I'm pretty much getting 99.2% of every block unless some more miners jump on P2P and claim a share.

You will to be able burn more when we switch, so there is value in keeping mining right now!

I see at cryptocon FUNK will feature at a talk from the SongCoin guys. Anyone going to be there? Would to hear what they say.

Just reporting in guys, sorry I've been vacant, been so insanely busy I haven't even been doing anything for fun lately!

All in all I have little to add, except to say FANTASTIC work guys! And yes I agree ROX looks like a total scam. Good chance to differentiate ourselves from them. Could mean our start is mildly harmed, but we know we're genuine, and that'll speak for itself in time - that word is starting to sound like a different 4-letter word to me these days ;-)

I don't think there's been anything I disagree with in the slightest discussed :-) I love the exponentially decreasing PoS reward concept. Covers a bunch of incentives at once on initial inspection.

Can't wait to get this off the ground!
