Topic: [ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS); New style, new services, same unique features - page 51. (Read 181052 times)

Good to see you mouseman 

Triff ..

Agree on all accounts.
Also when we start to send in our donations, I will donate 10 million TIPS towards development or the like and an additional 2 million to id10tothe9 as I've said before. (500,000 to continue his Facebook tipping and 1.5 million for himself).

Filled out the form, hope I did it right!    Oh and after seeing some of the donation pledges, I'll up mine to 10 million!  Lets go!

Fedora needs to be part of this:

Everyone please take a look and if you all agree, find out what we need to to...

PS: Also agree for 1d10tothe9 to hold and manage funds.

+1 if id10tothe9 would agree.

Do we have the github account credentials to make the necessary code changes?

I now have about 727MB for the entire file, last synched like 1-2 weeks ago.
I guess the explorer site we had is down? does it just lack the money or what is the problem?

Right now, how big the TIPS wallet? I rarely install any coin wallet. Lack of internet connection.

I also agree to have id10tothe9 hold the fund.
The simple way is we need to make TIPS blockchain explorer asap, so all of us can see the ledger and more transparancy.

here we have a designer if we need logo design etc: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8413825

even though I'd prefer if Fayens joined us again he also did cool designs. I guess I need to find the older threads and send the invitation to the members I missed in my last message.

thanks for your trust! I would volunteer to manage that fund if you all accept me, and I need some help on how to do that in a secure manner, maybe cold wallet etc? if there is a trustless method like multisig it's also good but I guess we still don't have such a feature right?

I also agree we need to make some fundamental changes, the high minting rate is I think what screwed us up in the first place, I think a reduction of the number of coins is good to get to the btc market and also change the algo to POS instead of POW, this way the community would be rewarded for holding the coin instead of multipools just mining and dumping! About anonymity, I suggest we look into what BTCD is doing (bitcoindark), I think they succeeded in creating real anonymity and are building it and it will be a network (of distributed private servers) which other coins can also use to be anonymous, and I understood that the dev is going to help a few alt coins to implement his code and there will be an interface that other coins can implement. so maybe we can volunteer to be of the first coins to use that feature! I can ask about this if you like the idea.

I like your suggestions Triff, I already put those points of strength we have going for us in the gdrive in the Think Tank section, and I suggest we can make questionnaires for at least some of the questions you put in that list! is that a good way to go about it?
I just need to figure out how to create those voting questions on the thread, somebody can help?

hey ultron it would be awesome if you can help in development! as you see we don't have many developers left. I think right now we only have icanprogram, the other devs it seems have left. The situation is that we are looking for new and capable devs right now, there might be some devs actually from other coins, triffin might bring us some good news we have to wait and see. but basically you, and if you know other devs all efforts are welcome.
I think what we learned from our history till now, we need to have an incentive for devs and contributing members, ie. they either get paid for their efforts, or they get a big stake and would be interested in investing their time into making TIPS better. so we are looking for ways to reward such efforts, a donation fund is one of such possibilities.
Then also we had problems due to the fast minting rate of tips we had, so basically the multipools kept mining TIPS and dumping until we fell so deep. so suggestions to change the code have been made often in the past and now again and I think this should be the way to go.
We still need to make a clear documentation of all that we have till now in the network (payment processor, websites, properties of the code etc) so I can't give you a satisfactory answer right now, but hope the community is stepping up and those questions shall be answered soon.
we also have many cool new ideas now of models on how to operate and what to do with TIPS actually, so it seems creating commercial applications is the best and maybe only way to go ie. make business out of this, create new projects with profit, we all can become invested in those projects and earn returns from successful business and the TIPS value will profit over all.
If you haven't seen our file yet give it a look on gdrive

hey this looks like a great start, maybe we can make use of it in the future when looking for programmers etc! and wish you good luck with the site!

hey yah I can do that if you trust me and preferably we find a reliable trustless method, but I don't know how to and I need some professional help. any suggestions you have as to how to do it and how to make it secure etc?

Also: I got the keys for this thread , so I can add the donation address or do changes according to your suggestions etc. Also I'm interested in creating questionnaires for voting, but still don't know how to do it, any ideas?

awesome thiec! maybe you can keep updating this and keeping count of the potential amount till we set up a fund? I would also donate 20M TIPS for now, and if things look good I might buy more and donate more

hey guys awesome to see this positive change of tides
sorry been away for a few days and didn't have the time to follow up but I'm positively surprised that things are now looking much better! with this attitude I'm sure we can do something with our beloved tips

RJF, I liked your questions and the idea of first answering the important questions before we move on. So I put them in our gdrive, all of us can add new questions or answer the existing ones here: Questions to be answered
give it a try

Hi guys ..

I also nominate "id10tothe9" to hold the rehab funds/pool if he's willing ..

We also need to hire a competent dev to review and evaluate
the existing state of TIPS  and to manage the community takeover ..

It appears from prior comments that most of us are non technical,
but I assume we can collectively agree on a rehab plan/new focus
for TIPS and handle the marketing tasks/costs ..  

Start thinking about how we should position the coin for the future ..
What will be the best bang for the rehab buck so to speak ..
What useful features have you encountered in competing coins that
we could adopt/modify for our purposes here ??

1) Reduce coin count ?
2) Change the mining parameters/algo ?
3) Beef up the anonymity ?
4) Brain wallet ?
5) mobile wallet ?
6) Other features enhancements ?
7) Change the name ?
Change the logo ?
9) Mobile Tipping Apps

What do we already have ??

1) A coin mixing service ( just needs transaction volume ) that provides a level of anonymity ..
2) A large number of coins ( too large ?? )
3) The symbol TIPS
4) w/fedoracoin payments system https://pay.withfedoraco.in/


Everything else should be "on the table" for scrutiny/discussion/modification ..

Triff ..

Hi guys,
I want to help with the development, because I've invested a lot to this coin and don't want to lose my investments.
Can someone tell me about current situation?

Ok, thats more like it! Love to see people step up!

id10tothe9: Can you set up a fund for improvements/changes and post the address? What else do we need to do to make sure it is ligit?

Also, read a while back that reducing the amount of coins was a good move to push up the price. What does everyone think of that?

Do we have a dev available or can we find one who will work for TIPS?

Hello I would also like to donate 5m I love this community and the coin itself is great. What is address for donation?

Seem everyone willing to donate as little as 1m from their TIPS stock, I suggest we start to have "POOL FUND account".

Someone that we agree to hold that fund for the future used.
We need this fund to move this project not just volunteer. (i agree with Triffin)
Idea is good for direction, but setting fund to realize that is the basic one.
Not all of us (generally speaking) have interest in TIPS but in MONEY, they do. (sorry for my language)

Also, the one who speaks that want to donate to have action, not just said he/she will.

Lets start counting while we set up the pool.
$dakini = 10m
RJF = 1m + 9m
thiec = 2m + 1m
Triffin = 3m
dimke_yu = 5m
id10tothe9 = 20m
mouseman = 10m

Bag holder / Potential to donate :
Catanonia = 2b (2,000m)

Edit : Adjust donate value & donator

I am happy to pledge 10M TIPS, if needed at any point.
