Merry Christmas to the TIPS community, just about 1 year in the Crypto world for this coin

Hopefully things turn anew for TIPS soon.

Hi Guys, I've been away for a few days now. But in the process, I am putting together a team of developers, all of them new to crypto, but very good at their work. The learning curve is steep so the earliest they could get to work on this coin is January 2015. Meanwhile, to be fair to the large wallets: Its not fair to penalize them, they believed in the coin while the rest of us were elsewhere, let us work with them. They could finance the development of features and services around the coin. We could also have Off exchange buying and selling of the same coins.

this is very awesome news!!!
I also agree we shouldn't penalize the large holders who were the early backers of this coin you have a good point. especially since it appears the large wallets belong to exchanges so there is nothing negative about that. I had also very busy weeks recently and couldn't contribute much here but I'm very glad to see TIPS alive and kicking! Anyway I was thinking today about the POS vs POW, if we could switch the algo without creating a new coin no body would lose their coins and the benefits are:
- community of TIPS would gain value (new TIPS) while supporting the network instead of miners who are mostly not interested in it and keep dumping the coin on us
- the value would be supported by the community because we are largely holders, price won't be pressed down through the miners
- for those of us who have mining equipment we could create a pool to mine other coins and automatically convert to TIPS or BTC
is that not worth doing?

I would also like to make donations to new ideas if somebody wants to do something for TIPS, and we also have the community fund now from which we can start supporting projects, so any suggestions?

What do you think of having a backup blockexplorer at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/? I contacted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=221182) Fairglu, and the response was that he takes 125USD per year to host a chain explorer on the website. What do you guys think about that? Am willing to contribute some towards this.

Meanwhile, since the means and manner of securing the blockchain is a work in progress, how about we pick the best of each solution in the market? We retain the POW, while employing POS in further securing transactions via masternodes (Darkcoin). The quantity and quality of transactions (Proof of Importance) could also be used to further secure the network by encouraging liquidity and movement (NEM).

yah I see that fedoracha.in is still down (or down again), I'm not sure what's the best to do maybe the people hosting those can tell us if they can support them going whether we should donate to them to keep them running or should we pay for the back up. eitherway I will support what the community comes up with and donate what I can.

also yah about securing the network, I'm not an expert on the technicalities, but my understanding is that we need enough miners to support it going and this varies with the price of the coin because most of those mining do so for profitability. so to have a stronger network I have been and still am for improving this and changing or adding new algos to do it better. especially if we can make the community itself profit from securing the network through POS or similar additional algos instead of those with big machines and no interest in TiPS. somehow I think the community is still devided on that, I got mostly support for the POS idea first but I think the devs had a different view, so we need to really decide on this and then have this topic behind us!

[id10tothe9]

It seems pretty obvious to me ..

Our coin 'ticker' is "TiPS"

I'm all for any app that can facilitate the act of  'tipping'  ..
In the real world ..  bars, restaurants etc ..
In the digital world .. as appreciation for online content etc

We need a mobile TiPS app
We need an online TiPS button/tab that content providers can integrate with their web pages

Triff ..

 

Made this post back in June ..
( What's that .. a decade ago in BitCoin time ?? )
Still think it applies ..

Triff ..

I think a great area we could focus on is really the coupons markets, cuz I think this is an industry that needs a solution to make things better and we might just have the answer with TiPS and making them have an additional property like colored coins. I heared recently we have here those automatic ticket machines, and when there is not enough money in the machine for change, it prints out a coupon that you can redeem for the change in the office. we also have the same thing with post stamp machines, they print out stamps with the value of the change. I want those machines to instead print a QR code for me with "TiPS inside".
Also the coupons I get from the pharmacy or the grocery store, I with they were in TiPS but "colored" with the name of that grocery, so I can hold them all in my fedoracoin wallet on my phone and use them again whenever convenient.
do you think this would be a successful idea?
of course if we do this then we will automatically be able to introduce it to tipping in restaurants which would be great.

I can keep mine going for 5USD a month. Anyone can actually do it. I still own chainexplorer.info but am not using it so I can donate that as well.

If someone steps up here's what they need:

• A 5USD vps from Ramnode, DigitalOcean, etc
• 10 minutes of instructions from me

No thanks.
I dont mean not to help community
but i am not tech freak so i always stay away from something i dont know for sure.


Merry christmas and happy new year for all of you

[fredeq]

Any working block explorer with API or MPOS pool? +1 for chainz

[RJF]

I still see people here interested in using TIPS for Tips. I think the way to go about this is to contact the POS software makers such as NCR who has included other crypto in their new software, and get TIPS included as well. There are only a few top companies worldwide, it would be interesting to see if they would do it....

[hund]

tips is one year old now - and still going strong compared to many other coins.
Go fedoracoin!

Considering I'm in the middle of a Fedoracoin project that links off to a blockchain explorer for optional verification, I'd be very interested in getting and keeping this running, since relying on 3rd parties for it seems to have been slightly disastrous at this point. We'll be in touch in the next couple of days.

In the chat with mxtm, he said that this is the official linux download:

http://mxtm.me/dl/fedoracoin-1.0.tar.gz

Because, protip, if you git clone fedoracoin/fedoracoin, you're going to wind up with the 0.6 version.

Hello folks!
I think it might just the right time to get back to my favourite coin and help a bit!
Those who are longer here may remember my pizzas, tips ticker and graphics stuff- if anything of such kind is needed- I can provide.
