Topic: [ANN] [PPC] PPCoin Released! - First Long-Term Energy-Efficient Crypto-Currency - page 78. (Read 684839 times)

try 99 designs, post a bounty on there, quality will depend on the amount offered... maybe worth a shot though

Currently the website consists of just a home page (a bunch of links with some icons) plus a faucet app (a market app is coming). The apps do not need to be migrated for the switch. So really no need to fork from the official site. To demonstrate alternative homepage style I would recommend using a heroku free account for testing (so no extra hosting cost).

ppcoin.org currently uses django with heroku. If the new candidate style is also presented in django then it should be simple for me to integrate, but if not I could still switch dns to the new style page.

Ok, I need help in my search. Does anyone know any place at all where I can get free graphic design work done for the ppc logo? It seems nobody I know is willing to help me without payment first. The problem is that I don't want to spend a bunch of money on having a logo designed that might not even be used in the end as everything posted here is just a concept until we vote on them. I'm trying to move this forward so we can get the logo and website done so we can start advertising. I'm just having a hard time trying to find somebody that can help.

There was many of POS explanations

I have some newbie questions about prove of stake. Hope people don't mind.

Does the wallet balance automatically increase over time? Gradually? Once a year? Every time you start the official wallet? Every time you transfer fund?

I gathered POS also involves computations that help secure the network (putting new entries into the blockchain?). When is that done? Every time you realize the POS gain?

Thanks. 

If there is really deep need for webdev I can cut PSD and integrate it with current website.

All I need is green light from SK, some PSD and copy of current website with database (of course without any sensitive data) so I could run it in localhost.

Or I can just take PSD and integrate it with raw CodeIgniter installation (if not counting http://www.ppcoin.org/bitaddress URL, rest of them points to external sites so there is really not a lot of work here if we're talking just about GFX)

Let me know.

Time will tell it.

As the increase of ASIC power, by the end of the year, all GPUs will escape from mining BTC, and part of GPU will go to LTC, and part of GPU will come to PPC. On the other hand, the present ASIC toy, saying 300 MHPS usb and 5GHPS BFL and other FGPA, must adopt PPC. So after half a year, PPC will be exposed more.

Home page forum link now points to ppcointalk.org

I will still post here most of the time but I will also visit ppcointalk.

Looks nice, but IMO it seems a bit empty. I like what they did with the website of worldcoin: http://worldcoin.in/  More info on the front page, nice outline. It's made with WordPress.

yes I do, but it is a little bit rusty

Does anyone has website building experience? (I don't :/ )

Agreed. It would make a world of difference.

Makes perfect sense.


We can start with getting something appealing and identifiable out there to relate PPC's best attributes to the currency itself, energy efficient, etc. Once you have a professional look to the coins logo and website, you can start to built upon that. Right now I feel we are working 2x to 3x as hard as we need to be to get more exposure to this.

I have seen some beautiful designs, let's get something agreed upon and up there.  The mock up posted by dcl595 looks nice and is an improvement, can we get Sunny's input on this and blessing? This is his baby and I certainly do not want him to feel some of us are trying to move the coin in another direction. If anything, I want to work with him and allow him to focus on what he is clearly talented at.

I myself can confirm that the website keeps people away from ppcoin. I was very weary of investing in it and almost didn't bother. But I did some more research and realized the website was only temporary, that a small community was building around the coin and that the coin itself had a potentially great future because of the way it was designed.

That website almost kept me away though. It's a much larger problem than people think it is. That's why I think the logo is so important to finish soon. The logo will go on the redesigned website. I wouldn't bother advertising ppcoin until it looks appropriate enough to point people to it. Advertising it now is just a waste of time because people are going to look up the website for more information and then lose interest. We need to finish this logo design so we can finish the website and then it would actually be worth our time to advertise.

legit statement.

i think ppcoin.org should have the REAL logo of ppc; that ppl will imagine in their heads when they think of ppc; and infos about what ppc has to offer that differentiate it from other cryptos.

it can be a very simple look as it is now but without grand theft auto china town.

We seem to have stalled for the time being, more positive momentum to come soon.


With the litany of new alt-coins flooding the market and competing with PPC's share of it, now is the time to differentiate PPC from these challengers. The fact that it trades as low as it does relative to all other alt-coins that offer nothing new to the cryptosphere tells me PPC is seriously lacking advertising, marketing and appeal to new-comers.




1. Get a dedicated, identifiable logo so that human beings can start to relate an image to the currency, something that makes sense

2. Where is the promotion of the coin? Don't promote it and you can expect a Litecoin clone to bury it in market value and attention despite offering nothing new. This is how positive momentum works. Worst yet, any new, innovative coin with the proper marketing could surpass PPC very easily right now. Clones of clones of Litecoin have already done this on a short term basis.

3. PPCOIN.ORG - This does not look like the portal for a inspirational new Cryptocurrency. I have witnessed first hand the power a poorly designed website can have on newcomers: "This doesn't look very legitimate, going to stick with Bitcoin for now" << This has been the remark from several would-be investors who decided to stay away from PPC due to it's image. All I can do is educate them to the fundamental power behind the coin and hope that is enough to overcome the lack of design, marketing and community support.


4. One Man Show - Let's assume we work out some of the optics of PPC and it continues to grow. With growth and exposure comes more work, responsibility and accountability. Can Sunny King handle all of the work on his current plate in addition to what will be expected and needed from him as this ecosystem grows?

If the answer is "Only Sunny knows", are we all setting ourselves up for disaster? Is this Sunny and a lot of investors hoping he keeps pulling a rabbit out of his arse, or does he have support flooding in? These questions are not going to stop as they are logical at this point, hopefully we find some answers soon.

PPC has an Image issue, deny this, do nothing about it and suffer the consequences (in the from of losses in this case). This is the Wild West days of cryptocurrency, I would not be sitting on my ass right now with all of the competition gunning hard. Time is your best friend, until it isn't any more.

+1 

I think there's 10x more designs for the logo then actual merchants accepting this coin right now.

Aside from emblems, what is going on with this coin right now? Can we get an update about anything? Aside from The Free Market launching what future does PPC have at the moment?

Not yet. I think people are taking a break from it for the moment. I'm no expert in Photoshop or I would whip up something right now. As I said on ppcointalk, I really want to see a designer merge the following three coins...

Photo A:


Photo B:


Photo C:


I believe the overall design of Photo A is a winner, minus the date on the coin. The only other problem I see with it is the color. It looks more bronze to me than gold. On the other hand, D3tail's designer made photos B and C, which I believe are the perfect colors for gold and silver, plus the reflection and sparkle of the coins. What I want to see a designer make is two face down versions (No angle shots unless it's in addition to face down shots) of coin A, minus the date. The first version will use the gold color from coin B and the second version will use the silver color from coin C. I think the silver version would be our perfect ppc coin. The silver and green just go together better in my opinion. I'd ask D3tail's designer to help us, but she's busy traveling. I've tried to get other designers I know to help me with this, but everyone seems to be too busy. All I can do is wait for now.
