Someone tries to rescue this coin, interesting
I see it an interesting datum point.
Algo-branded coins (in which the algo is basically the brand, e.g. quark, sha1coin, qubitcoin, groestlcoin, whirlcoin, etc.) form a natural category in the domain and the members of this set have met with mixed success, some have thrived, some have languished.
I'm interested to see if I can discern any reliable pattern that might distinguish between, say, Skeincoin and Groestlcoin (both still going strong) and the likes of Fuguecoin and Roulettecoin (both languishing).
Then there's the brands that attempt to distinguish themselves by using a specific algo (albeit the algo is not part of the coin's brand name) such as Primio (nearly defunct) with JH and Doomcoin (defunct) with Luffa.
Then there's the raft of coins branded with an explicit “folklore combiner” such as Chaincoin, X11coin, Twecoin, N5coin, etc. where again, some fell on stony ground and some are still going strong.
I'm entertaining the idea that it'd be a worthwhile exercise to develop my
noodlings on Minkiz into something more focused and useful, a mix of curio shop and engineering museum (broadly in sympathy with the
modest curation of SiFcoin undertaken by
cinnamon_carter).
In pursuit of this, I'm developing a general-purpose (RPC-based) block explorer in Python (as a
Pyramid view) which is currently monitoring several chains:
https://minkiz.co/acmeIt's slated to have an RDF back-end ... I already have running Python code that reads the blockchain into RDF, to which I intend to add a Python implementation of Fresnel that should help standardise the serialisation.
If anyone wants to synch to any of the chains monitored by ACME, the node IP is: 5.9.56.229
Cheers
