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 ..
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?
