Topic: [ANN] DopeCoin - DopeCoin is now on Blockfolio Signal - page 271. (Read 635512 times)

Everyone needs to stop breaking balls.  The timeline has been laid out.  Let Aaron take his time and do it right.   The devs have more important things to concentrate on than giving everyone hourly updates and feeding trolls on here.   If you want to hold the coin then hold the coin, if you don't then don't.    The question you all should be asking is "what can we do to help"?

Aaron, you must understand isnt the same 2 weeks than 4 weeks...roadmap published 10 days ago, it say 2-4 weeks...to 2 weeks only faults 4 days, to 4 weeks 18 days...if u are working in this, from today how many time (estimed) to pos?

We have already published the timeline for the new wallet, nothing has changed in that regard.

123,008,688 DOPE and increasing. How long those it take to fork the coin and move to POS? It is now one week and still no movement on this topic. There are now so many coins that it will just die again.

All interesting Jyri. Had a question have you heard of ZeroCash before ? A whole blockchain dedicated to anonymity.

Saying "all other weed coins are crashing is true

What about TAK?

When DopeCoin was originally created it was my intention to create a better option for the already thriving underground marketplace that used digital currencies in the hundreds of millions for the purchase of drugs online. My intention was not to enter into a new marketplace (legalized MMJ) and to try and not only educate the general population, but to also get them to begin using crypto currencies as part of they're daily life.

What is the story behind TAK? Are you still supporting that one?

Good day, everyone!

Great speech, Dopey! =)

Suppose side chains are implemented tomorrow. Could existing alt chains graft onto the Bitcoin blockchain, or would they have to "start over"?

(Pegged) sidechains are ultimately altchains without an associated altcoin (they reuse the BTC asset).
The altchain could theoretically remain and become multi-asset (having both their original altcoin, and pegged bitcoins), with a free-floating exchange between them. For systems with alternative economic models (like Freicoin) this may make sense.

so this could enable a in-blockchain digital currency exchange between BTC and NMC for example?

The altcoin approach of creating a new cryptocurrency just to introduce new features creates uncertainty for everyone looking at cryptocurrencies from the outside. There seems to be no natural stopping point, each fork can be forked again, ad infinitum. This creates both market and development fragmentation. We think that for cryptocurrencies to be successful as a whole we must build network effect, not fragmentation. We believe everyone should enjoy freedom to innovate, too, without seeking permission from us or anyone. We need a different way to get there than by attempting to disrupt our own success.

To accomplish this we propose technology to enable new cryptocurrency networks that do not need new cryptocurrencies (see our sidechains whitepaper for more information, as well as read an interview with the WSJ BitBeat). Delivering on this vision will require continued investment in and cooperation with the bitcoin ecosystem as a whole, along with the full-time support of many people with broad and specialized backgrounds. We felt that in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and in the world at large, there is a shortage of companies working on trustless cryptographic infrastructure. That’s why we, along with our other co-founders who share our vision, came together to establish Blockstream.

No kidding! 

@ Dopecoindude -Told ya it wouldn't be easy bud, it's always going to be a warzone in this thread lol.

Its not actually. Check out POT. The big difference between the two coins is POT is actually attempting to achieve real-world integration. DOPE was just trying to imitate POT.

I am sorry if you put a lot of money in this coin but "Dope" isn't even proper slang for marijuana anymore. It usually refers to heroin now.

I'll try to give you a hand here during this transitional period and provide a bit of insight into the upcoming gameplan as well as discuss the previous events over the last year.

When DopeCoin was originally created it was my intention to create a better option for the already thriving underground marketplace that used digital currencies in the hundreds of millions for the purchase of drugs online. My intention was not to enter into a new marketplace (legalized MMJ) and to try and not only educate the general population, but to also get them to begin using crypto currencies as part of they're daily life.

That plan always seemed too big for one man to accomplish and also seemed like it's ability to be accomplished was still much to early.

We saw Potcoin attempt to create this scenario with some big backend funding and some great ideas such as fiat to Potcoin atm machines, massive exposure in Colorado not only on the radio but also at this worlds Cannabis Cup.
The result.... Less than spectacular.

The simple fact of the matter is that although it is a wonderful idea and something that I fully support, I still believe that it is premature. The general public is not yet ready.

Will this change over time? Yes it will

Somehow we got caught up in this race to become the dominant go to currency for legalized MMJ when realistically we should of not wavered form our original gameplan. It's time we revisit that gameplan and make the necessary adjustments needed to provide an option to an already thriving marketplace of crypto currency users. Users that are already well educated and comfortable making crypto transactions and do so on a regular basis.

With that being said, are we still in the running for legalize MMJ purchases, absolutely!

I just wanted to clarify some of the misconceptions that are currently being stated as fact by some.
This is a long term project and something that will require alot of work. Communities make projects like this successful more so than the developers themselves.

Thank you all for showing interest in the project and for joining us on this crazy adventure.
