Raganius, you ask what is needed for me to help make Animecoin a success? I tell you and the community what is necessary. First off, Ani-chan sorry to say this, but no premine means no funds to develop services for animecoin, that was a huge mistake. Its by no means an irreversible mistake, but it requires the community to provide more coins as donations so that developers are interested to create services.
So here is a list of what needs to be done in my opinion:
1. Donations, lets get 50 million animecoin together as a community to fund animecoin's development. Why 50 million? Well, with the value of animecoin as it is at the moment, thats roughly the right amount I believe to ask for 10-15 projects. Raganius set up bounties, for the auction website, I'll let the community decide what sort of a reward it will yield, I personally think that its an important project and it will require at least 2 people to work on it.
2. We need more developers. I'm here and I might be able to convince some friends with bounties. If you know how to program and want to contribute, pm me and post on the board and we will find a project for you.
3. We need to get anime coin to be used, shops, merchants, anime translation groups, artists and other anime lovers have to be convinced to use the coin and spread the word about it.
For point 3 I'll be creating the Android wallet, an auction website for items, perhaps even an online shop. We also need to create a miner which can mine using cpu's of any type, and gpu's of any type and every variation in-between. If you are able to program and you would like to help, post on the board and send me a private message. Next, when I do set up the auction website, it will require people to use it, so please sell items, buy items, use it. I suggest that a reasonable price for ahi is roughly 100 ANI to 1 GBP. The reason for this is that it is stronger than the yen and so you can buy more product with less ANI. If it gets stronger from there, then thats brilliant, but until people can buy a manga for less than 10,000 ANI, it really will not be usable as a proper currency.
Some of the other ideas I have had is that we could set up a miner using cluster computing, so that we can all connect to it and then we mine coins for other people and they pay us in ANI. Another idea is to print T-Shirts with some cool anime logos/ themes and sell them online for animecoin.
By generating a use for animecoin we can hopefully help it increase in value and then with generated profits buy votes and fund more projects to help animecoin.
This is my input, I hope you as a community will consider and respond to my ideas and hopefully help me realise them.
Regards,
DarkWolf
CPU mining is interesting, I might set it up on my unused PC.
Yes, zhinkk, I also like CPU mining coins: It's a great idea. My Animecoin wallet, for example is always connected and mining
Did we fork/update the animecoin wallet? The reason why I ask, is because I read a section in the dark coin faq where it said that the wallet gets stuck at a certain block and will not progress from there. This was caused by a hard fork in the wallet.
I currently have six active connections to the animecoin network, it would be great to get some more nodes to add.

DarkWolf, Animecoin have not been forked, at least recently. As I have said before, my wallet GUI has been constantly online without problems. The only thing is that recently I have only been able to connect to fewer nodes (6 active connections at this very moment, just like you). Some weeks ago it was usually more than 10 nodes...
Here are them:
"addr" : "80.219.189.210:1212",
"addr" : "137.117.80.150:1212",
"addr" : "91.121.8.23:1212",
"addr" : "112.169.90.169:1212",
"addr" : "37.187.154.81:1212",
"addr" : "81.203.65.195:1212",

Reread my message Raganius, I edited it for my new idea, any suggestions? I'd also like us to set up an animecoin auction website, similar to ebay for anime goods paid for using animecoin.
(...)
I'd also like to set up a website which we can rent our computing power as a community out to miners for other coins, so that we can be paid in ani and start circulating the currency by putting it into use and hopefully increase the value of animecoin so that people can eventually use it to buy anime/manga.
Great ideas! That's what I'm talking about! Animecoin needs it's community to work for it. You are great DarkWolf! Please, let us know what can we do to help you. I am sure that your ideas will be a success!
I've done it for a while, am currently working on a mining distro for animecoin and other crypto currencies. Also working on an android wallet for animecoin and an auction website for animecoin products, it would be great to get some more developers to help develop some of these services for animecoin.
I have got no technical knowledge, but many of our friends here have, so I ask them to help here. Everyone's help is important.
Thank you so much! This is the kind of things that "recharge my batteries" and make me once again happy and enthusiastic about Animecoin.
