Topic: [ANN] Kudos (Read 19600 times)

As far as I can tell a lot of people have mined Kudos. A lot of effort, hardware and energy were invested. The original developer and those that came afterward do not respond. It seems like Kudos is dead in the water. What a waste.
I thought long and hard. Being a developer for quiet some years now I think I should be able to provide some basic maintenance, developer support, and learn along the way. Maybe I am to lightheartedly about it, maybe not. Bottom line is that I am willing to spend my spare time in order to get Kudos back on track.
So I have a proposal. (Keep in mind that I am an employee and also have to spend time with my wife and children.) Give me two months to realize an update of the Kudos client. In return I want to ask all of you to start mining Kudos again. You can reply and say “I'm in!” but the only true reply is seeing the hash rate going up (and up and up and up).
When I see the hash rate going up I will start working (read mostly learning). I will update you all at least once a week about the progress I am making. Even when there is nothing to report, I will say so.
When do I start? Well, it has to be a joined effort. The day the hash rate hits (and of course stays) 20Mh/s or more is the day I will file my first report. That day plus two months is the day I have to deliver. IMHU it works both ways. When you all contribute to the hash rate you know in return someone is working and when I do not file my reports you can simply stop your hash rate contribution. When I see the hash rate go up I know there is a community that is willing to support me and when the hash rate will not go up or goes down again I know I either blew it or I was flogging a dead horse.

So, it's up to all of you now when I have to file my first report!

 

Superb! Do you know a developer that can help out? Are you a developer by any chance?

I'm in. I will support this coin.

Alright then, is there anyone willing to step in?

There was. As far as we know he left... Than came Mrbubl3s. We all became excited. Started to push the hashrate back up. And for now a deafening silence. Don't misunderstand me. I still believe Mrbubl3s has (had) good intentions. What's frustrating for me is that he doesn't speak up!
I hope he will respond before May 12th. Otherwise... you know someone?

Is there an active dev behind this coin?

Mrbubl3s,

It's quiet a while now since your last response. So, how are things going? Not to well I guess: The site is down (at least not responding) for a few weeks now, no reactions, and the mining site struggles (does not payout).
There were some others who asked whether they could step in. We hold them back because of your promises.
No hard feelings, but if you are not able to realize the things you promised, please say so! Maybe someone else is willing to help out. (Let's be honest, otherwise it's been a waste of power consumption and computer use.)
I propose you place a reaction before May 12th. If not we take it as an “Sorry, can't deliver” answer, OK?

Regards.

mrbubl3s?

KDS End

kudoscrypto.org down?

mrbubl3s,

Any progress?

Please read the previous messages.
We are patiently waiting for mrbubl3s and some other devs to finish a new version of the wallet, then we test, then we relaunch.

Whats going on with kudos?

No support? No exchange?

Definitely not dead!

But low enough for solo mining still.

Whenever I check on this coin (via http://kudoscrypto.org/) hash rate is always there, I've verified this first hand on the wallet along with multiple connections showing on the qt.

mrbubl3s and some other devs are working on bringing this crypto up to scratch, so it may not happen over night but all good things come to those who wait...

KDS dead? ?

Things are going slowly but surely. I've been helping develop some bawesome services over the last few weeks, busy with irl job though.. As always there are unexpected problems. P:

I agree you only get one real shot at a re-launch. It's worth taking a little extra time to test things and get it right.

Plus for any re-launch the crypto-community would expect the mandatory things any decent coins come with, like a re-vamped website, forums, faucets, games? Sorry Dev's if you are already all over it.

In the future you could even do something like sponsoring a charity/foundation (a large credible one preferably) with Kudos donations, and you could change it every quarter or something - just an idea.

I'm happy to throw in some BTC for extra votes when the time is right!

Super!

But, I have been examining the vote list and came to the conclusion that voting for Kudos is not going to cut it. We need at least about 1 to 1.5 bitcoin. (Top of the list (today) donated over 1 bitcoin. A small calculation reveals it has about 113 actual votes.)
Also, given the fact that mrbubl3s and his friend are working on a new wallet I want to suggest the following.
To prevent disaster let us wait a little bit longer and first test/try the new wallet before we put Kudos on any exchange whatsoever.  I have witnessed drama with other coins that went to an exchange and launching a new wallet at the same time. The exchange site had a lot of trouble with the wallet and so it was exiled. Let alone the bad name that came with it.
Opinions? Suggestions? Other ideas?
When the time is there you can put me up for 0.1 bitcoin (it's all I have from mining another coin).
