welcome georgem! I'm glad you followed my invitation 
as you see we are trying to get the community organized and mobilized to start taking action and hopefully take our coin to the next level, so we need creative people like you!
We will probably concentrate on making our coin the coin of choice in specific markets, such as tipping in restaurants and bars, or in chat rooms etc.
I hope you like what you see, and I hope you stick around help us with gifs some time soon!

Where can I find pic material (photoshop or similar) of all the fedoracoin related icons, symbols, grafix etc?

Would help me when creating GIFs...

thanks, now talk a little bit about the coin... what does it stand for... I am still trying to figure out what themes to use... bars? restaurants... someone tipping a street musician... etc

[georgem]

Hey people, I only get 1 connection to the network of fedora...

what other good nodes are out there that I can add to my fedoracoin.conf?

I am stuck at block 51332

..
..
..

Also I have difficulties finding a working blockexplorer... would you recommend one?

Thanks.

[id10tothe9]

hey, I tried to check my fedoracoin folders for the config file, but it seems I don't have one and I don't know how to find the nodes my wallet is connecting to 
maybe leave it open for a little longer, I have now 3 nodes after opening for like 5 minutes.
(can anybody help us out here??)

about the themes, though we are now here in the process of figuring that out and making it a strategy, I would say anything you can think of where we use the word TIPS (that's what has been our theme anyway). so yah, bars, restaurants, musicians, artists (eg graffity artists signing with their logo and people sending them tips but we need to figure out a good way to do that), and also in the chat rooms people tipping each other. also have a look at my facebook group called TiPS4tips, where people are supposed to exchange useful information especially when they have questions and in return get rewarded with TIPS for their tips  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1478427829039015/

[georgem]

everything seems fine now. I have 8 connections....

It probably just needed some time.

Thanks for your advice, I am still struggling a little bit, but I will just jump into the water.. and something good will come out... it's always the same.

hey guys do you remember who was very active here before? can you provide me with the names you remember, I'll contact them and see if they want to join again.

[id10tothe9]

Ok, so first step in my plan is to create a structure (called "Brain of TIPS") to organise the active community members. It manages all aspects of work and has the objective of driving the "TIPS Economy" towards prosperity through coordinated work, communication and mobilisation of our community. I think best would be to have different relatively independent groups (call them "nodes") each with a specific area of focus. eg. a marketing node, core software node, commercialisation node, think tank node, business node etc, each with expertise in its own area and is responsible for doing the right thing to promote and improve the TIPS Economy.

Each node has a "Coordinator" responsible of keeping the focus of his/her group and communicating with the other nodes coordinators (the coordinators of the nodes together form a "Committee of TIPS") in order to synchronise and coordinate their work together. We will have an excel table on our gdrive to list the current active members of those nodes and of the committee.

Then we will use tools to communicate and coordinate. https://trello.com seems like a useful tool for distributing tasks to the different members and keep track of the progress.

The coordinators make sure to have a clear set of goals, and that their nodes accomplish them one after the other. The committee has the responsibility of planing strategies and coordinate the goals of the different nodes together when needed in order to keep the entire "Brain of TIPS" organised, focused and efficient in moving forward to what's best for the TIPS economy.

Now what I need from you:
- give me your thoughts about this
- suggest what nodes we need to cover all necessary aspects
- suggest tools we can use for: communication, coordination, tracking of progress and goals etc

Let's go!

hey guys, no body gave me feedback about the post I made. Maybe if you are interested can tell me in what team you would like to participate, and do you like the idea at all or should I give up?

Here's my 2 cents or 2 TIPS !!

What do we already have ??

1) A coin mixing service ( just needs transaction volume ) that provides a level of anonymity ..
2) A large number of coins ( too large ?? )
3) The symbol TIPS
4) w/fedoracoin payments system https://pay.withfedoraco.in/

Let's keep it simple ..

We should emphasize TIPS for 'tips' and 'tipping'
We need a mobile app for 'tipping' TIPS in bars/clubs/restaurants etc
We need a web TIPS button that content providers can add to their web pages to receive
TIPS as payment for product or as a 'tip' ( think micro payment ) for useful content or
as appreciation for content ..

These things cost time and money .. both in short supply !!

Triff ..

======

I posted the above a week ago ..

I have  NO programming skills so I can't offer anything ( except cheerleading ) for this coin ..
This coin is ripe for a takeover, but how to proceed ??
Should we 'hire' a dev or devs ( current coin holders agree to put up a bounty ?? )  

The coin has good attributes ..
We need marketing ( for features we've already got ) and a committed dev team
( to manage the coin and build new features going forward ) ..

Too little too late ??
No one cares ??
Put up a 'New Management Wanted" sign ??

hm yah, a New Management Wanted sign is a good idea I guess. I hoped people would start righting stuff but not much happened, not sure they are checking the thread in the first place. On reddit I made two posts and after a week I think I got like 3 replies on one and nothing on the second. But hey I'm thinking we need to pm those who forgot about the thread to see who is interested, and I would like to put you on the ThinkTank node what do you think? I guess that would be also my place because I also don't have programming skills just ideas.
btw did you have a look at the gdrive? do you think it's a viable approach?

[Triffin]

I'm worried that you and I are the only ( bag ) holders left that care about the coin !!  

I'm open to any ideas that those currently holding TIPS may have unless, of course,
they've just written this one off or are content to buy @ 2 Lat and sell @ 4 Lat ..
rinse and repeat ..

There's no point ( imho ) discussing anything without the ability to FUND development ..
So .. here's a proposal/question to all current TIPS holders/investors ..

Would everyone ( to be fair to all holders ) be willing to donate/commit
10% of your TIPS holdings to a "TIPS Development Fund" for the purposes of

1) Hiring a new Dev Team ( ie has to be more than one individual )
2) Funding cleaning up what we've already got, wallets etc and evaluating our current status ..
3) Funding Future applications to facilitate TIPS use
4) Funding Marketing Efforts  

Obviously, we'd need a 'trusted' depository for the holding and disbursement of funds ..
I haven't checked in quite awhile, but the Market Cap of TIPS is currently +$100,000 or so ..
I'm sure we could easily invest/spend 10% or ~$10,000 on items 1-4 above ..

I don't have a large position here any longer ..
But, I do still hold 30 million TIPS and have orders to buy 15 million more ..
So, I'm good to donate/invest 10% of what I've got ( 3 million TIPS ) for this effort to get things started ..

Does this approach meet with anyone's/everyone's approval ??
Should we pursue this or not ??
