Take over, take over take over,
Like i have said i am willing to distribute the premine accordingly for when proof of work is provided. Yes i agree Seti is a great idea and i have funds to provide for that cause.
This is the only promotion idea i have seen from the community, theres more talk about take overs and nothing about promotion.
If we can get an Aliencoin website built then i will provide a bounty for that, we then need to at least get on an exchange just so Aliencoin has one place to trade, i have contacted NEWALTEX and he is looking into Aliencoin but is currently closing is site for a short time, meanwhile i am contacting some over exchanges.
We need to draw back miners and provide them with positive ideas why they should mine Aliencoin.
Miseree you say you 'can help in the capacity of providing a pool, social media promotion, and possibly some specific PR' i will fund you for doing this.
I think there is a small majority who just want control! I am all for this being a community coin, i hold the premine and im willing to distribute!
Nobody WANTS to do a takeover. It's best to work with what is already in place. However the NEED comes when everyone's current stake in the coin is worth next to nothing due to lack of promotion and support.
The infrastructure needs to be in place first! Until these core components are functional and appealing, I am not going to do any further work or promotion for this coin. At this point it would be promoting a ghost. The web site is nothing more than a placeholder with no functionality and the forum is full of spam.
Critical Action Items:- Web-site! - the only link that works is the forum link, the rest just redirect to the same page. Also swap the url...aliencoin.org should go to the web site and aliencoin.org/forum should go to the forum
- Register the main site with search engines. I can't search aliencoin and arrive at the home page, only the forum
- Clean up the forum - at first I thought your SPAM filter was effective...it's not
- Post the total and breakdown for bounties awarded
Since you don't seem to have the time to clean up the forum and the site, then delegate someone to do it. So far all you have said is "there is a bounty for that". Post the bounty, make the promise. I don't know what value is fair for these services, but make it worth someone's time. Create a post on this forum or the aliencoin forum and explicitly define all bounties that we need and post the bounty. I fear that our capable developers may not be around and willing anymore...so we have to make it worth their time.
Bounties:- Web Site
- Forum mods
- Implement KGW into the coin to better control difficulty
- Exchange campaign(s)...just a question, might exchanges be more willing to add the coin if they were given a substantial stake. I hear rumors, but nothing confirmed
- Games/gambling (those that have been already created should be eligible for the bounty...)
- Faucet(s) - Faucet funds will need to come from the premine as well
- Negotiate with a retailer to accept Aliencoin, assist them in the implementation
- Perhaps the first couple retailers could be provided with some additional compensation for taking the gamble
- PR Promotion campaigns (SETI, SciFi convention promotion, etc)
We have lost all momentum and now we are going to have to give it away at first and get it in as many hands as we can... Nobody wants to put a bunch of effort into promoting this coin in order to allow you to have a 1.9m ALN stake unless you are doing the work to EARN that stake. I don't know what you have left and it's not my business, but I, as a supporter, would expect that 50-75% of it should go toward the development of the coin. I'm not against you keeping a significant portion, but it certainly feels like you're a bit greedy. Right now 4.3M ALN has been mined, adding 2M ALN premine comes to a total of 6.3M ALN in existence... If you're still sitting on 1.9M ALN, then you are still nearly a 30% stakeholder 6 weeks after launch. I'm making a guess on how much you gave away on the exchange promotion based on the guess that you had 200 posts on the forum and it seems you were giving about 150 ALN (25+125 for the 2 promotions) which works out to about 30k ALN given away...I rounded up to 100k. Since you have been unable to make visible headway on the coin, then support the coin with the premine and let the community know you are doing it by posting the breakdown of bounties paid.
