Topic: [ANN] Infinitecoin - IFC | V1.8 Released! *Mandatory Upgrade, upgrade ASAP* - page 8. (Read 199628 times)

It's good that the community has a lot of suggestions of improvements. But everyone needs to understand that the community is the owner of IFC, not me. Yes I initially developed the coin, and provided as much support as I can to the community, and I will continue to provide supports. But I have my own work, I can not be in this forum all the time and answer each and every questions and queries and provide all implementations.

This is a non-premined coin. Yet when every problem occurs, I always get blames on why I did not act quickly enough or why I did a bad code, etc. During the retarget mess, I get different blames from different people some said I did not provide upgrade quick enough, some said that I provided too quick the upgrade while I should have waited. It is not possible to satisfy everyone out there.

What I suggest is that we need form a committee which determines which directions to take for IFC. And have a few more developers that I can work with them together and share the code/workspace etc. The community should take the responsibility of the coin, not only me (as I said I will continue to support). There are some very good members of the community that already contributed a lot to the IFC: nzdude, Heju22, monocolor, TECshare, RoadTrain, YukonCoinelius, TreasureSeeker, tokyoghetto, saamxx, zackclark70, to name a few, I hope that we can make it formal committee to provide directions and improvements of the IFC, and more active members please be involved in it. IFC is not my coin, it is our coin!

Answering questions and giving opinions is a good start. You don't have to code the development suggestions to talk about them. I see a lot of people providing suggestions, and you just passing over them.

No need to be negative man, I'll try to support the features as I can as the community wants it. But remember that pos feature is very different, I don't think it's an easy task to add without messing up the existing code. If you can find a clean way to add it, I may be able to consider it.

Also don't forget the great games we have for IFC, for example the coinbomb game:

a very nice one, and does not cost much to play, so have fun!

So do you have any ideas for further development Fisheater or are you just going to say we don't need it, and wait until its almost too late like last time and pretend you can't see people making suggestions here?

Great, nice website.

From what I understand auto sell pools are back with improved ways of sucking liquidity out of smaller alts. I propose we increase the time under which coins have to mature in order to be spent after mining. Hopefully this will make autosell mining less appealing. Additionally I think transaction fees should be raised to support the network.

I didn't say convert it to proof of stake I said "something like proof of stake."

PoW and PoW/PoS are two different codebases with many differences. As IFC started as PoW, I don't think it is worthwhile to convert to PoW/PoS, will be too many changes.



nice!

I am thinking something like a new type of proof of stake system which is paid out via profit generation from a service site development. For example we could pay the developers and investors a % of fees generated, and direct the remainder to be paid to IFC miners to maintain the network. In this way we are not constantly inflating the currency, in addition it provides paying jobs for rewards in IFC, sucks up liquidity driving up the market price, and provides miners incentive to mine.

Good steps to increase value:
Create and develop cutting-edge user-friendly and high-security smartphone wallet and semi-online service like Blockchain.info. There are open-source BTC wallets that can be changed to use IFC.
Create some IFC eshops, create list of shops and eshops accepting IFC
Print a sticker saying "Accepting IFC mobile payments" with QR code of the shop's wallet and sticking it on the door of your shop, adding a photo and address to the list above. Worldwide!
Create a community-based money-sending service something like Western Union that will use fiat (one country) -> IFC -> fiat (another country).
Create an exchange that converts fiat to IFC directly. Remember to consider legal limitations for such a business involving fiat money collection and transfers.
Any other ideas?

So what is next for IFC?

Perhaps we can start a discussion about how we can add value to the coin. Perhaps we can update the Icon of the coin to something a little less "generic". Simple changes like the one i just suggest can really help the coin in the long run.

 No one benifits from a forked chain and fraudulently mined coins don't get processed. Checkpoints get rid of forks so please. Everyone just mine fairly here. Its you who fork the chains that don't benifit.

Quit Forking my Nigga Chain MoNucka's. I Love IFC and if you don't want to get rich with us go pound sand!

Thanks monocolor for all your support

Yes IFC to da moon!

ortchi -

Can I ask a favor-flav?  Any chance you could increase the logout timer?  24hrs?  I leave the site up constantly, and I've ended up moving all my miners to you... so the 10 or 15 minute logout timer gets a little old.

Much appreciated if you can do it.

I agree.  Tension building up.

thing looks primed for liftoff

Glad that all the diff retarget mess is behind us, thanks fisheater for the great support of the coin!
