Yay DEVs back!!
Ok so moving forward does anyone have any ideas for the dev on how to make a future for the coin? real comments only please, dont need the 2 fudders BS, if everyone puts their heads together and help out with some ideas so the dev doesn't have to think about everything by himself, the guts and work so far is good as most would have run by now and dumped the whole project after the ups and downs. It looks like the whole thing is back on track and working now.
So i would start with a few simple ideas:
1. get on more exchanges
2. we can use twitter accounts to spread the word and exchange troll boxes
3. Dont put up sell walls under cutting the price, if most agree to hold at a certain price that be good, say no lower than we its trading at now 0.006 or there about
4. make simple fun photo shop pics for seed and post them here and twitter
5. Talk it up now and in the future
Could we back the coin with real seeds? as in seed is very cheap could the coin become a seed bank in real life? you can buy seed in any country for bugger all depending on the seed?
Could we back and buy seed and use it for good eg: donations for 3rd world shit holes?
Do a logo contest
Anyway the more ideas the better
Beef
Thank you, this is just the sort of thing I need.
More exchanges could help, but getting on bittrex was key. If there was higher volume this might be a big deal, but right now there's not a lot of incentive to trade. This should change near the end of the week as the coin finds its floor;)
Twitter is an excellent way to spread the word through social media. For a lot of people Twitter is their go to place for information, and as new coins trend people there really start to take interest;)
Completely agree all the rest would be great as well;)
Obviously some of the things on the agenda are Mac Wallet (we'd have one by now, but my dev pc took a dump last week. I'm actually doing everything with my laptop now. No I didn't lose any code.), android wallet, etc. I'm planning to completely overhaul the UI design for *user friendliness*. Yes that means I'm not going for resource heavy bling, or awkward custom bordered wallets. I want easy to use.
In the long term (6+ months) maybe doing something cool for people that missed this growth period. Celebrate with a 10% growth day or something. I don't know. Depends on the community sentiment for the idea.
I'm going to go back and make the shadowcoin messaging system easier to use and more intuitive (it does work, after all) and fix the stealth address issue, providing the a reasonable option for anonymous sending and receiving.
Something I really want to get into, but wont happen for quite some time in light of all the issues that we have previously faced, is redesigning how the blockchain is stored and managed across the network so that it isn't just so heavy on storage resources, and for compatability purposes, I'd look to have both versions fully compatible with eachother and able to run side by side.
Another thing I want to do is look into eliminating change addresses as the default, and instead make transaction change feed back into the address it came from, similar to what happens when coins stake (they get sent to their originating address). This design would make wallet portability and backups much more dependable and allow coins stored on paper wallets to send only a portion of their coins at a time.
I'm also looking at things like 2FA, USB authentication (to allow the option of unlocking your wallet by, say, plugging a usb stick that has a special key on it, or your mobile phone), and multi-option authentication, so you could possibly set your wallet to only unlock with both a password and a usb key, or even set both, but only require one or the other. Obviously each would have its advantages and disadvantages, but I like providing options, and not everyone likes having to use a password to unlock their wallet.
Another thing I'd like to add is the ability to share coins with other devices that you own. For example - suppose you could go to your main wallet on your PC, and set up an address in it called 'Mobile Phone', and any coins you sent to that address still remained in your primary wallet, but were also accessible from your mobile phone. And what if all you had to do in order to load that wallet onto your phone was to load it via a qr code that you could only access once you had properly authenticated?
Building up funds for an exchange buywall that functions the same way, or similar to how it was described in the ICO is something else I'm heavily contemplating. The possibility of backing the coin with resources that have stable value (I like the idea of seeds!) is awesome I think. I'm also very charitably minded, but I believe we need to build value for seed before we can build resources that we can afford to donate to charity. Like my grandfather always told me growing up, you have to be able to take care of yourself before you can take anyone else.
I have lots of ideas that I plan on working on. I'm going to spend the next day or so putting some serious thought into how long they would take for me to implement, test, and introduce through a reasonable alpha-beta-release cycle. I plan on having a Roadmap together for everyone to look at on Tuesday or Wednesday.
All suggestions are welcome, and I'm happy to take them on board.
At the end of the day my primary expertise is in development and customer service. I'm not a big advertising guru, nor do I have much experience in design or multimedia. Having a logo contest sounds like a great idea, I love contests;)
Can you setup a wallet for donations cryptzo? and post the address, i would put some in for sure and i am sure others that are after longer term growth might add to it, even if we get a small amount it could fund say a logo contest to start, what do you guys think?
