Hi Donationcoin community,
Happy millionth block! Currently at block 1000374.
Sorry for the lack of communication. Please do not misinterpret this as me abandoning the project. I am very active in the crypto and have
no intention of Donationcoin
not being the
original cryptocurrency for charity.
As previously mentioned, I would like to make Donationcoin a reward asset for folding@home. Much like Curecoin (I am on that dev team) and Foldingcoin (no affiliation but I have written supportive
articles for FLDC) are distributed to Stanford University's Folding@Home project, Donationcoin will become an option. In a nutshell, folding@home would provide me with a list of registered users that selected Donationcoin as compensation for their work, and the amount of work they did, on simulating protein folding. I would then process that list, weekly for example, and send Donationcoin payments. My thought is to fund this with the premine (17,750,000 DON. Please see
this post for that proof) that I have gained through the cooperation of the original devs.
Details are still very much being worked out. But, I did want to try and collect some feedback from community members that remain. I do feel folding@home is an honorable project and it would be great exposure and publicity for Donationcoin while bringing in new community members.
I do have the new code ready for v1.4. I just need to do some new artwork for the splash screen and other small cosmetics. The biggest thing people that upgrade would need to be aware of is that v1.4
does store data in an application data folder as most modern coins do. It will
no longer (as of v1.4) look for this information in the same directory as the executable. I am actively working on a Windows build environment so that these can be compiled in the near future. The Mac wallet will be compiled as well and I would like to have these released prior to any folding@home cooperation.
Please let me know your thoughts and thank you in advance for the time to do so.
