Hi jonesd,
Please consider to push Stories. It's a coin with a very nice concept to help artists by rewarding them with coins for their good work.
Here's a Blogpost about it, which tells more.

http://wonderloops.weebly.com/stories-sty.html

The Dev was active only for the first month and is MIA since almost two months now.
The Coin is on bittrex since some weeks but there's no volume.
What we need is a competent new dev to bring back the life to this coin so it will live happily ever after ;-)

We don't push coins, but let the community decide to fix coins. We do however support people that want to take over responsibility of specific coins and need technical help. Then possibly later on, it can be elected by the community. The first step toward a future of the coin is dedicated people, so I recommend you to start a new topic that copies the first post of the original topic. Does your coin need technical assistance?

Where is FoxCoin? It seems to be dying but this is not just. FOX is awesome.

NEXT STEP

It is time for the next step indeed!

People have voted and clearly, everybody want to focus on reviving old coins!

Reviving old coins   - 25 (54.3%)
Create a new innovative coin with the community   - 4 (8.7%)
Both   - 11 (23.9%)
More important things than this! Smiley   - 6 (13%)
Total Voters: 46

I will create a  new poll so we can pick a coin. I propose that we take the top three from these coins and support them in the following order:

#1: Focus coin: We will take over this coin, enhance the code, release new wallets and actively promote it
#2: Runner up: We will take over this coin and patch it up.
#3: Aid: We will help to fix problems with this coin.

I will create a new poll, so everybody can vote for the coin they want. Spread the word about this vote to get people to support your coin and feel free to discuss your coin in this topic!

The voting will end May 5, 6PM EST.

VOTE!!!

Last day of voting!

Because I'm living in Europe, it will be easier for me to let the poll go till the end of May 6, 11:59:59 PM EST. Then I can close the poll when it's early morning, May 6, for me

Voting for another 9 hours!

It turns out Leafcoin still has a developer, so it's not eligible. We will replace it with Qubitcoin and the #3 coin will be Quarkbar.

That is an awesome coin, my second choice.

Also datacoin could be to cloud storage what bitcoin is to money, Apparently storj are going to build their platform on top of it initially. Their dev has been missing for a while and talk of a community takeover is beginning to stir in the forums.

Interesting for the next election

Re: Karmacoin

It looks like they have active devs at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=579973.new

Karmacoin disqualified now?

Are we going with GPUCoin, Qubitcoin and QuarkBar now?

We will move down the list

We're adding them to our pool today. Feel free to register!

Stratums will start after coind-development is done

Proper announcement will follow later on with URLs, Stratum-ports, Specs, etc

Let me start by saying, I think holding an election was a mistake of me. It was a good way to get an idea of which coins need help, but the winners actually don't seem to need help.

Most of the coins end up being upvoted by people that are just impatient for their developer to handle things. With the top 3 (probably also GPUcoin) it turns out people actually get agitated, because somebody was already reviving it or the dev is still active.

I think it is better to first  just go for revivals of neglected coins that truly need help instead of coins just looking for some extra marketing. We should probably just discuss each coin and offer help where we can.

In my opinion, these are coins like 66coin (no pool up at the moment), DuckDuckcoin (no developer active on the code), and Qubitcoin.

Quarkbar is an example of such a takeover that made a lot of people happy.

With these coins it is best to do the following things:
1. Create new bitcointalk topic like we did with Quarkbar to announce it is a community takeover (preferably controlled by somebody that leads the community, like pikimunga from 66coin)
2. Get access to source or release new repository on Github
3. Create pools and nodes for the coin to support the mining
4. Release updated code and wallets
5. Notify important pools and exchanges
6. Create website (subsection on coinrevival.com in meantime)

What do you guys think?
