Seriously too much to do for one person, but perseverance will get this project to the end.

Most announcements are now being done via twitter and social media instead of here, that said the outline of the bounties is as follows:

Code:
Roadmap & associated bounties :

#1 - Website rebuild and refresh to static HTML5 (allows deployment to decentralized hosting platforms) - 500k PIGGY

#2 - Articles posted about Piggycoin, what it's about and how to get involved - 10k PIGGY (ongoing, up to 4 rewarded per month)

#3 - Electrum-RPC wallet rewrite in Xamrin/C# forms cross-platform, first build for either iOS or Android - 3m PIGGY
#3b - Ports for other platforms iOS / Android / Windows / OSX / Linux - 750k PIGGY (per platform)

#4 - Core rewrite, including snapshot hard-fork to new chain based upon Ouroboros consensys (DPOS @ ~3% interest) preserving secp256k1 signature mechanics & UTXO claims in either Haskel or Mono/C# with electrum-RPC cleint support - 4m PIGGY (3 phase testnet implementation prior to livenet fork)

#5 - Addition of 2 treasuries to Core, one for ongoing core development and projects (@ ~2% inflationary rate), the other for distribution as rewards & edu-humanitarian causes (@ ~3% inflationary rate) - 3m PIGGY

#6 - Xamrin PIGGY rewards framework / library to facilitate in-game rewards in PIGGY - 500k PIGGY

#7 - HTML5 PIGGY rewards framework / library to facilitate in-game rewards in PIGGY - 1m PIGGY

#8 - Unity game engine PIGGY rewards framework / library to facilitate in-game rewards in PIGGY - 2m PIGGY(edited)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed bounties ( These are bounties proposed, but not yet officially being offered by the Piggycoin team ) :

- Discord tip bot, non-proprietary - 250k PIGGY

I hope to have the bots finally configured this weekend for the Piggyville official community hub. Hope to see all of you there!

WHERE CAN I MINE PIGGYCOIN?

It is a Proof of Stake coin, so there is no mining like with Proof of Work coins. But if you own PIGGY you can stake it in your wallet for 3%/year.

From what I can tell the coin will remain POS correct sir?


Correct, technically DPOS, which is still POS but you may nominate a Delegate to stake, and only stake, on your behalf (moving to DPOS should improve the network stability immensely as more people should be able to stake by utilizing delegates).

That sounds good.

- We jump ship to a 2nd or 3rd generation blockchain technology.
 My comment: Build on top of another network like Stellar? My vote goes to Stellar if so.  Wink
- We preserve all assets and associate cryptographic claims to those assets in the new chain.
The coins we have now, will be carried over to the new coin?

Will the principle of the coin remain the same and geared toward children? This will essentially be another relaunched of the same coin just on a newer platform?

This is exactly why I opened discussion, Stellar was not on my list as a potential, I will investigate it to see if it's even compatible with asset preservation.

Correct, the coins you have now would in fact exist on both chains but ongoing development of the X11/POS PIGGY will cease, just like Bitcoin and BitcoinCash (different implementation methodology, snapshot hard fork, though).

Principle and mandate of PIGGY will all remain the same. In fact my personal goal is to be able to transition to PIGGY full time in the capacity of chief architect with a daily focus on edutainment app development (instructional gamification with a PIGGY rewards model).

I am not shooting for a relaunch, more like a major version upgrade / core features enhancement that allows the PIGGY project to leap-frog its present day aged codebase in favor of leveraging the brain trust of a next gen blockchain technology. How to put it simpler ... PIGGY imo was never meant to be a blockchain innovator, lets align and leave those innovations to a superstar team of another open source cryptocurrency project and pull features in as we see fit.

Children get money by their own efforts through Piggycoin online education games, a very meaningful coin that can arouse children's interest in learning.

I used to pay my kids with piggycoin for chores. Now they have a hopelessly inflated notion of what a normal investment rate of return should be, LOL.

The same sentiments here  Roll Eyes
I wonder how can the community help?
There are lots of great ideas but still, things will be based on our devs (the bounty idea is exciting--better bring this on the table by promoting and marketing and encourage people who can develop more the technology). Calling ALL the PARENTS around the globe Cheesy

I still believe our kids will benefit from this technology....

As the "fasten seat belt" sign bings on, the PA awakens ...

We seem to have hit some more turbulence, and the control tower predicts more ahead. Looks we're in for our traditional bumpy ride folks!

What's peeps?  Market it's down let's make a pump...  Oink  🐷

Might be feeding the trolls here, but PIGGY has never been a pump coin. If you believe in the mandate, welcome, otherwise maybe look for "your" definition of greener pastures?

Keep Piggy (Legacy Chain) think NXT
Forkoff/Snap New Tech chain, mainly to attract (fund) new dev team.

IMO I don't like the idea of building on top of another network like steller, I feel that piggy will be strong enough to have its own network.
 

To clarify - Neither do I, that's not the proposed plan. PIGGY's ledger at a specific block height will re-genesis onto its own new blockchain.

Since there has been no other proposals I will begin formulating the specification and bounty.

... Excitement ...

Man I hate writing Specs, anybody want to do this for me??? Heh.

Blew off some dust on the good old piggy wallet and worked like a charm.  Cool

Am a big fan of piggy and after reading what the plans are for the coin to be upgraded via a snapshot to have some later gen features sound exiting.

I agree that there needs to be a mechanism in place for ongoing development 100% with you neurocis, I will be exited to see what other features that you have planned will keep an eye out.

thanks for your efforts neurocis ! Piggy is worth it Smiley

So to answer your question directly, yes it looks I am the only regularly active member of the team, with greenmo being as active as RL permits at this time. The rest of the team simply moved on to other endeavors, greener pastures. One must realize that PIGGY was released just after the mtGox collapse and faced a couple of bullish years right from the start. Given the lack of value in the coin it was never able to reward it's team as it should.I agree a stronger Social Media presence is needed, but marketing & promotion is not my thing, and all of these positions should be hired and compensated by the project IMHO.

PIGGY is at a critical point in its life. Even though it's just turned 4, it's old, 2 generations old, and IMO in order to survive it needs a DNA transplant.

So ...

In surveying the landscape, looking at resources (me part time and a part-part time person), what should we do, what is a roadmap which insures PIGGY for another 5 - 10 years? This is my proposition, and assumptions ...

Firstly, it makes no sense to market a coin which is based on aged technology.
Secondly, "fixing" PIGGY will take approximately 480 hours of effort, and still eave it as an 1st generation blockchain.
Thirdly, there is no mechanism within PIGGY to sustain ongoing development once the team funds are exhausted (29.8 million PIGGY at present).

So ... PIGGY is dead, but ... Long live PIGGY!!!

This is my proposition as steward by default of PIGGY:

- We jump ship to a 2nd or 3rd generation blockchain technology.
- We do so by use of a snapshot hard fork.
- We preserve all assets and associate cryptographic claims to those assets in the new chain.
- We facilitate this transition by offering a bounty.

With the above objectives in mind it is my desire to:

- Officially announce a 10 million PIGGY bounty to facilitate this change.
- Write a detailed specification outlining deliverables to claim said bounty.
- Suggest the path of least resistance.

I am going to leave this discussion at this point prior to finalizing details of the three points above. Further I wish to disclose it is my full intention, upon peer review, to claim this bounty and once the details are finalized begin development.

Neurocis,

Are you the only active Piggy Team member? What happened to the others? We need a much stronger Social Media presence and news updates if you want to see Piggy really excel and be a part of the future!

This coin could revolutionize the Education system as we know it and schools in general. We always hear about School Budgets, wouldn't be the case anymore if Piggy Coin is implemented and used properly amongst the education system. Decentralization at its finest.

You may be hearing crickets, but rest assured I want to give this the thoughtful response it deserves. Please bear with me.

Thanks.
