Topic: [ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS); New style, new services, same unique features - page 52. (Read 181129 times)

To move discussions forward, here is my sugestion. I am sure, all of you agree that people love to play games. They also keen on any competition, especially if not only blind fate decides who is the winner but rather player skills. Of course, for most of players, would be nice if every victory is also rewarded (even award of small value is usually welcome). Another important feature is the ability to play anywhere, anytime what means that player can use any terminal, PC, smartfon, tablet. Following that way of thinking, I upload the draft of a simple idea (uploaded to the id10tothe9 google drive public folder - Ideas suggested). Let's named it "Tip the Champion".

As I wrote, it is the draft so many detail have to be discussed. Another question is if Icanprogram can and willing join the idea. I do hope that my post will be the another step to reach our final decision what next.

A few words about our brainstorming.  The situation is such that we do not have serious ability to fund development and even keep alive our web pages, there is lack of ideas how to give the TIPs a second life, there are only a few of TIPs holders/belivers still active around the coin.  This means that we got to the point where only something really new can attract attention and .... that is the best point for new beginning :-)

In my previous post I sugested some form of investing, supporting the dev to start and lead any new project/idea. IMO, devs can't spend their money and time to make coin holders happy (and rich). Also, its not so easy as hiring a new dev team couse even we will pay them and they finish their job - what will be next, how about system/service maintenance and development.  On the other hand, I am affraid no one donate serious amount of money without a chance to participate in the potential profits. So, I still think any form of investment is the best way to effective and honest cooperation between dev (tech team) and community.

About ideas - in brief:
1. Let's stop think about the coin value, start to think how to use TIPs to do business.
2. Let's look at what people are doing on a daily basis and how the TIPs can help them (can be involved)

What is your opinion about that approach ?

What's past is past ..
I wrote this one off long ago also ..
We're trying to assess if there's any point to trying to move forward ..
If the answer is NO .. that's OK too ..

Triff ..

TIPS had a good shot at being a legit coin meant for tipping, but the devs were stubborn and did not want to drop the atheist/fedora stuff so the coin died.

I'm worried that you and I are the only ( bag ) holders left that care about the coin !!  

I'm open to any ideas that those currently holding TIPS may have unless, of course,
they've just written this one off or are content to buy @ 2 Lat and sell @ 4 Lat ..
rinse and repeat ..

There's no point ( imho ) discussing anything without the ability to FUND development ..
So .. here's a proposal/question to all current TIPS holders/investors ..

Would everyone ( to be fair to all holders ) be willing to donate/commit
10% of your TIPS holdings to a "TIPS Development Fund" for the purposes of

1) Hiring a new Dev Team ( ie has to be more than one individual )
2) Funding cleaning up what we've already got, wallets etc and evaluating our current status ..
3) Funding Future applications to facilitate TIPS use
4) Funding Marketing Efforts  

Obviously, we'd need a 'trusted' depository for the holding and disbursement of funds ..
I haven't checked in quite awhile, but the Market Cap of TIPS is currently +$100,000 or so ..
I'm sure we could easily invest/spend 10% or ~$10,000 on items 1-4 above ..

I don't have a large position here any longer ..
But, I do still hold 30 million TIPS and have orders to buy 15 million more ..
So, I'm good to donate/invest 10% of what I've got ( 3 million TIPS ) for this effort to get things started ..

Does this approach meet with anyone's/everyone's approval ??
Should we pursue this or not ??

Triff ..

hm yah, a New Management Wanted sign is a good idea I guess. I hoped people would start righting stuff but not much happened, not sure they are checking the thread in the first place. On reddit I made two posts and after a week I think I got like 3 replies on one and nothing on the second. But hey I'm thinking we need to pm those who forgot about the thread to see who is interested, and I would like to put you on the ThinkTank node what do you think? I guess that would be also my place because I also don't have programming skills just ideas.
btw did you have a look at the gdrive? do you think it's a viable approach?

Here's my 2 cents or 2 TIPS !!

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/

Let's keep it simple ..

We should emphasize TIPS for 'tips' and 'tipping'
We need a mobile app for 'tipping' TIPS in bars/clubs/restaurants etc
We need a web TIPS button that content providers can add to their web pages to receive
TIPS as payment for product or as a 'tip' ( think micro payment ) for useful content or
as appreciation for content ..

These things cost time and money .. both in short supply !!

Triff ..

======

I posted the above a week ago ..

I have  NO programming skills so I can't offer anything ( except cheerleading ) for this coin ..
This coin is ripe for a takeover, but how to proceed ??
Should we 'hire' a dev or devs ( current coin holders agree to put up a bounty ?? )  

The coin has good attributes ..
We need marketing ( for features we've already got ) and a committed dev team
( to manage the coin and build new features going forward ) ..

Too little too late ??
No one cares ??
Put up a 'New Management Wanted" sign ??


Triff ..

hey guys, no body gave me feedback about the post I made. Maybe if you are interested can tell me in what team you would like to participate, and do you like the idea at all or should I give up?

...yes.
You?

u poor?

Yes, I need to pay the bill

Shall we consider merged mining multi-pool with myriad coin?

BTW, is fedoracha.in still down?

Here is our trello organization
https://trello.com/tips7

Ok, so first step in my plan is to create a structure (called "Brain of TIPS") to organise the active community members. It manages all aspects of work and has the objective of driving the "TIPS Economy" towards prosperity through coordinated work, communication and mobilisation of our community. I think best would be to have different relatively independent groups (call them "nodes") each with a specific area of focus. eg. a marketing node, core software node, commercialisation node, think tank node, business node etc, each with expertise in its own area and is responsible for doing the right thing to promote and improve the TIPS Economy.

Each node has a "Coordinator" responsible of keeping the focus of his/her group and communicating with the other nodes coordinators (the coordinators of the nodes together form a "Committee of TIPS") in order to synchronise and coordinate their work together. We will have an excel table on our gdrive to list the current active members of those nodes and of the committee.

Then we will use tools to communicate and coordinate. https://trello.com seems like a useful tool for distributing tasks to the different members and keep track of the progress.

The coordinators make sure to have a clear set of goals, and that their nodes accomplish them one after the other. The committee has the responsibility of planing strategies and coordinate the goals of the different nodes together when needed in order to keep the entire "Brain of TIPS" organised, focused and efficient in moving forward to what's best for the TIPS economy.

Now what I need from you:
- give me your thoughts about this
- suggest what nodes we need to cover all necessary aspects
- suggest tools we can use for: communication, coordination, tracking of progress and goals etc

Let's go!

hey guys do you remember who was very active here before? can you provide me with the names you remember, I'll contact them and see if they want to join again.

everything seems fine now. I have 8 connections....

It probably just needed some time.

Thanks for your advice, I am still struggling a little bit, but I will just jump into the water.. and something good will come out... it's always the same.

hey, I tried to check my fedoracoin folders for the config file, but it seems I don't have one and I don't know how to find the nodes my wallet is connecting to 
maybe leave it open for a little longer, I have now 3 nodes after opening for like 5 minutes.
(can anybody help us out here??)

about the themes, though we are now here in the process of figuring that out and making it a strategy, I would say anything you can think of where we use the word TIPS (that's what has been our theme anyway). so yah, bars, restaurants, musicians, artists (eg graffity artists signing with their logo and people sending them tips but we need to figure out a good way to do that), and also in the chat rooms people tipping each other. also have a look at my facebook group called TiPS4tips, where people are supposed to exchange useful information especially when they have questions and in return get rewarded with TIPS for their tips  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1478427829039015/

Hey people, I only get 1 connection to the network of fedora...

what other good nodes are out there that I can add to my fedoracoin.conf?

I am stuck at block 51332

..
..
..

Also I have difficulties finding a working blockexplorer... would you recommend one?

Thanks.

thanks, now talk a little bit about the coin... what does it stand for... I am still trying to figure out what themes to use... bars? restaurants... someone tipping a street musician... etc
