[ANN][CC][POS][X11] Official Colorcoin thread - BOUNTY FOR HELP: 3.5Million CC

@M-theory - source is on github, LOL, link in OP

What about resuming PoW until PoS is fixed?

At least all of us who have coins still stuck in the pools can get them confirmed!!!

Coff... Coff... Ehem... Fabio, I must to say something ?
This solution I had already suggested two days ago,
but so far it has been totally ignored.

Or the dev thought to be very close to the solution, and does not want
to make two mandatory updates too close ... or ... or... bho?!?!?!
I can not think of any other alterative that should impede this solution.

Sorry, I did not mean to steal paternity of your proposal at all. I'm sorry if I gave that impression.

I just wanted to call for more support to this idea. Again, please accept my apologies.

[alcamie]

Any updates on the wallet status?

We have many miners wanting to withdraw their coins, and payouts aren't going through.

It appears that this communication is just too difficult for this Coin Dev. Has Elvis left the building?

[jimlite]

I don't think he was ever in the building.

[Antebellum]

Still nothing? . . .

No Fabio, I must have badly expressed my reasoning.

I do not claim at all the paternity of the solution, I could not because isn't mine.
This temporary solution has already been done in the past with other currencies that have had problems with the POS.

My discontent relates only to the loss of time that has been here.

In other words not just a +1 support as you asked, but much more than +10.

So no offense at all on my part.

I would say to you, "You can feel serene, You can feel comfortable", but I would not be misunderstood again.

This coin already has a problem of too many coins after PoW finished and the 3% interest year is too high.  Needs to be reduced down to 0.001% or lower for it to have a chance of being worth more then litoshis

I can not imagine then what you may think of CitizenCoin, 935m and a 35% annual interest.
IMHO, with the 0.001% per annum simply people would forget this currency.

Regading to the excessive amount of coins, I have a question,
in the field of crypto currencies, someone has already tried a
mandatory change operation similar to the one made in the 60s
in France from old francs to new francs (100 -> 1)?


Regarding to your idea of "renting" a number of nodes to keep the
network alive, imho, this is a solution that would work, but
personally I do not like very much [1].
 
Your idea should be discussed better, for example, the fund needed to pay
the rent could be obtained automatically with a kind of "restraint" on
POS interest, as was done with the "Stake for Charity" of HoboNickels, but
not voluntary, but fix, firmly intended to support the network, providing
in this manner a fair and long-lasting source of funding.

Nor is there a big pre-eminent, which soon after launch you no longer
have any control (and dumped), but a kind of source that lives and grows
only _if_ it also does the coin, it seems to me much more fair and acceptable.

[1]
I fear that a few node rent solution, could make the cryptocurrency
too centralized, which instead are born to be decentralized.

On the contrary, I'd like a system that remunerated more active nodes (in rotation),
not based on how powerful is their machine (POW) or possess (POS), but just based
on their active persistence in the network, imho this would push all user to maintain
an alive network.
(And more the network is weak, more the reward become convenient)

I do not know if something like this has been tried, and the
consequences have already been assessed, but if it as to develop ...
I think it *here* is not the case.

PS:
"Small" correction. 
Although I think that would be a fair reward system, however, I realized that could expose
the coin to hijack attempts on the part of a bot-net, consisting of a multitude of many small nodes.

These are the main things that were found to be of issue with WC and consequently were addressed and fixed.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Alchemie , I hope that your message can be of guidance and encouragement.

I would still take advantage of your knowledge and ask your opinion on a quirk that
I saw in the source code , perhaps it is irrelevant, maybe not, probably the result of
a lapse in the process of " search & replace " .
It seems to me that a table has been modified in the implementation of slgoritm X11.

I refer in particular to the file cubehash.c line 102:
SPH_C32 ( 0x85254725 ) , SPH_C32 ( 0x15818AEB ) , SPH_C32 ( 0x4AB6AAD6 ) ,

while in a different source, perhaps more reliable, here
 http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GRAY/Digest-CubeHash-XS-0.05/src/cubehash.c
there is :
SPH_C32 ( 0x85254725 ) , SPH_C32 ( 0x15815AEB ) , SPH_C32 ( 0x4AB6AAD6 ) ,

and "15818" as you know is the number of rpcpport , which is specific of each wallet,
and it must have been changed after the source has been cloned.
But I do not really understand the reason to change a single value in a standard
algorithm, then I fear that the algorithm X11 was ruined by accident.

I'll have a look at this and get back to you.

dead

More than dead, let's say that we have been scammed big stile....

Hey Mr. Milan B. from Vac, no more updates now, huh?

Too busy enjoying the fruit of your thievery?

[spcrypt]

I will donate 100,000 CC if we can revive this, not worth anything right now to me anyway.

[auy]

I also would like to donate 100K to revive

[neleonele]

I also would like to donate 100K to revive

me too

ajde milane radi nesto!

[Globee07]

The "dev" isnt even answering PM's...

[seonat]

Listen to "update" 

[ChrisLandin]

Listen to "update" 

what update??

[kikhtr]

I also would like to donate 100K to revive

I donate 50k CC

[digit]

well i will pledge donation of 1,000,000 CC to be paid on release of fixed wallet and source, and confirmed that blockchain is working again.
it wont go to the moon, but a fixed wallet and blockchain moving again could be enough to get out of satoshi hell

and potential dev/s please feel free to blacklist any premine the old "dev" might still have stashed. 

also incase no one notice one of the exchanges where this is traded already removed a bunch of 0 volume coins and only reason CC is still there is because there it still has some people trading it or at least placing buy orders for it.

Hello friends and Color Coin fans!

Given the evident absence of the original developer and the total lack of updates, as well as the fact that so many people have still got coins stuck in the pools too, myself and my friend benzmuircroft (who did the new coin logo) have decided that we would like to take over this coin, or at least seriously give it a try.

We do believe that we have the relevant skills and expertise to do that.

We need your input though.... how would you like the new, revamped, Color Coin to be like?

What features would you like it to have and which ones would you remove (if any) from the original concept?

Please kindly add your input to this Reddit post:

http://www.reddit.com/r/OfficialColorCoin/comments/267w7e/post_here_your_proposals_to_relaunch_color_coin/

We highly appreciate your input, let's revive this nice coin so badly dumped and neglected by the original dev.

Thanks!

Go for it mate.
Really hope you can make a success of it. Think Whitecoin / Asiacoin they were in a similar sort of state. I hope you can make it work as it had excellent potential.

We have had a look at the code, unfortunately it's a real mess... so it's very unlikely that we will be able to do it.

I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, we though it was a lot easier to fix....
