Topic: [ANN] FedoraCoin (TiPS); New style, new services, same unique features - page 57. (Read 181052 times)

Is there any chance the maximum number of coins will be reduced?

Changing the name to TIPS, get rid of the fedora, have a new logo and one coin representative

http://coinbrief.net/coin-brief-coin-representatives/

still trying to get in touch with some poker software company, I'd like tips to be used in a poker app.
the lottocoin guys did this:

https://lottocoinpoker.com/

but it's limited to browser and has no social features, so the network marketing potential to start jump it is null.

I'm kinda in contact with icanprogram, he is a bit busy at the moment and accesses his reddit more often than here so I'm trying (with Arbitrageur who suggested that) to communicate with him and arrange a meeting with him and those of you guys who wants this coin to survive.

Currently we have a problem which is why nothing has been going on recently, and that is icanprogram has no stake in this coin ie. he does not have enough TIPS to profit from the coin if it succeeds and has been doing actually really good work as far as I can tell, just for the fun of it I guess. I see this as a problem, because this thing needs actually hard work too, brilliant ideas are not enough, and for somebody to put the time and sweat into it he needs an incentive. Either have some amount of the currency, or get paid. Other coins have a developer's fund, or even let 50% of all minted coins (POS) be redirected for development. We tried this sometime ago, but I guess not enough was donated to the fund. The other devs I have no idea what they are doing or if they are still there.. I don't really know why things didn't work that well, I personally think the nature of the previous devs doing all the work on irc and having almost no communication or feed back with the community caused people to lose interest and faith, so they also did not really donate to the devs since they did not know much about them or their work. It's my personal analysis, but non of that matters I say!
we all have seen how powerful and active our community could be months ago, back then all the control was in the hands of the few devs and they obviously failed us because they failed to communicate with us and so the coin is just about to die now, because it needs us to survive. Now we have another chance to take things in our hands and take us all where ever we want. the devs did good work I think I don't want to make it all bad, but we need a new way and a new strategy to make it. Now is the time for your brilliant ideas and your activity! and it's perfectly timed with the coming bitcoin rally in the coming months, so we can use the alts rally which will happen just like last year I predict and use the extra ride.

I will suggest that we create a new forum special for FedoraCoin only, and maybe change the name to TIPS only as it seems most of you agree that it's a better idea. and I would then suggest having a thread in that forum dedicated to business and projects, so that the community members who have good ideas get there together and develop their own sites and businesses. because this is the only way a coin could really survive and grow.

Get your thoughts and ideas ready and I'll inform you when I hear back from icanprogram and maybe we can all arrange a time of meeting on irc or something and decide on our next steps.

it's still listed, what are you talking about? anyway it's matter of days now. 2 litoshi left.

Why Fedora have been removed from Cryptsy ?

Community are dead? 

I can buy many billion at this price , so cmon guys 

Ditto ..

We need a dev with a plan
or
the keys to the kingdom

Triff ..

honestly I don't understand why icann isn't replying my pvt msg or openly here in the forum to discuss about how we can resuscitate this dying coin. it's 2/3 litoshi right now. what is he waiting for? once delisted by bter and cryptsy it's gone... no way we can resuscitate it again. I have a little stake of course, I liked the name TIPS, hoped it could compete with dogecoin and reddcoin (I have a small stake in each of course), and it's in my interest that this won't die. he claims to have only a couple of million so, maybe, with a stake worth less than 50 cents he has no interest at all at this stage. if this is the case (and he should at least confirm for everyone's sake), I ask openly here: just give away the github access to someone who can take over and continue your work. thanks

yah actually you sent me the files back then cuz I wanted to translate to Arabic but I had difficulty doing it, I guess my Arabic wasn't as good as I thought :p. but now I found somebody with better ability and he already sent me a version I'm going to check. I think he might want to manage the Arabic thread or I could do that with him. sure google translate still sucks hehe.

about the fund yah let's talk to the reddit guy and get this done, it will be useful for this project and all future things to come!

About the translation work, I'm totally convinced that this is a good way to go. Back in the time I tried to translate the BTC thread, I talked to some people trying to get them translate it in Arabic and Chinese, but didn't achieved anything unfortunately. IMHO, as mouseman said, Google Translate isn't an option. If you start a local thread, you have to have someone in charge of the community management in the considered language. If you can't answer to the questions asked in the thread, people will think the coin is dead, and will pass. That's why I think you can't just pay someone for this. You have to find a community memeber devoted enough to do some work (and trust me, I did it, it''s not that much work).

About the funding website, we are trying to do that for a while, but never found someone to make a proper website with a donation fund and some project reporting. Maybe we can talk to +/u/UnekPL on Reddit? He made the Twitter Tipbot, he should knew about online wallet a bit.

Yah for me also the name TIPS says it all, maybe that's the major reason why I like this coin and still holding onto it! I wish I was one of the billions holder but I guess now is a perfect opportunity to buy up if things start going in the right direction 

About the funding, I'm have no idea how much to offer, do you know if those translators at karma got rewarded and how much? I could make a post on reddit and here and whatever we end up with will be distributed, but also not sure about the mechanism how to do that. I could create a wallet for that and gather the funds if people trust me if we find no better solution.

Quite frankly, TIPS is one of the very best names for a coin I have seen since the time of my initial involvement in crypto til now.
Any connection with "Fedora" is a step back.

Yeah, I'll be willing to throw in some TIPS for sure if you can coordinate this for us id10tothe9.
I'd be somewhat open to just about any language translation...just so as they are NOT USING GOOGLE TRANSLATE TO DO THE TRANSLATION!
If you desire to go for it, I could as a few people over at the Karma forum for their translation assistance as several native speaking translators over there just recently helped with translations. Any ideas how much we should offer each native speaker translation?

I don't mind the hat, or the logo, however TiPScoin could be a better coin, honestly. However that's not the point. The point is by doing some minor changes we could shift the interest back to TiPS, unless the guys holding Billions start selling. I am actual curious, who is holding all the tips, and why don't they invest in their coin!

The only reason doge became so popular is that few early miners-buyers started the heavy tipping. Irrelevant is that the price pump proved unhealthy and unrealistic...

I too have held TIPS from almost the beginning. Last time I opened the wallet was when the logo changed. I am somewhat resigned to the notion that TIPS is circling the drain. I do know that the "hat" stuff must go! If you want this coin to be taken seriously, loose the hat, stick with TIPS as the name and approach the Point Of Sale software and hardware vendors and get this thing integrated into their software for restaurants.

my 2 cents...

hey guys I asked on my facebook group TiPS4tips if somebody can translate our frontpage of this thread to Arabic and other languages. We now have somebody who will translate to Arabic and we can soon start a thread. I hope other people will also volunteer, I already told them we have French and Italian.

But I also offered a prize for that and I hope that the community here can help fund those guys. I will donate TIPS myself and hope some of you will join! however I'm not sure how to do that, is there a possibility to get a project funding address or something that everybody trusts to send the donations to those people?

great 

I tried to contact ican privetely, hope he'll be available to discuss a future successful development of the coin and form a new management team open to all those who are truly committed to this coin.

Excellent points made by all commenters, icanprogram what do you say about the points and ideas made? and also when do you think the new forum will be ready? the community would like to join in and help but how would we be able to do that if we don't know what's going on in the background and have no place to start stuff on our own? the communication is needed maybe you should think about a solution to that and then I'm sure you will find more than the help you need and things can take off

For starters, I want to state that I'm in full agreement with the sentiments expressed
by mouseman and Arbitrageur ..

For those that don't have a prior history with this coin ..
We tried a 'community' takeover last Fall ..
It's the reason for the last and only price surge in TiPS ..
Problem was it never gained any traction where it matters ..
The devs weren't willing to allow ( if that's the right word ) it
and/or weren't willing to relenquish control of the coin ..

We were going to ditch the name "Fedora" and the "hat" logo ..
and re-brand as TIPS ( all caps ) ..
Marketing was to be focused on "tipping" and using TIPS for that purpose
Development was to be focused on  building apps ( especially mobile apps ) to facilitate "tipping" ..
We wanted a TIPS web applet that content providers could embed on their web pages
to receive TIPS as appreciation for their content etc etc ..

All for naught .. and now you see where the coin is ..
The original devs are married to the 'hat' and  "fedoracoin" meme ..
And clearly stated that the community takeover effort was a waste of time
as it wasn't going to happen ..

I don't see where anything has changed other than the price collapse ..
And with the release of generic tipping apps by others that can handle any coin ..
We've missed the 'window' that TIPS was poised to exploit ..

I continue to hold a several million coin position here in the belief
that the devs will abandon this coin ( at some point ) and that those still interested in
a 'rehab' and/or  'rebranding' effort will be given an opportunity to do so ..

Triff ..

We all went through this months ago and the Dev didn't want to make the change - CHANGE THE %$%^fv%%ty$#%@#$ NAME OF THE COIN TO ONLY "TIPS". Lose 1000% of anything even remotely related to the word "Fedora". Burn all Fedoras!!

Reverse split the coin if that's something the community wants. Not for or against, but let's hear further discussion from folks if there is anything that they want changed and how those changes will reflect better on TIPS.

This should be a TIPPING specific/focused coin.
