I am still here watching dont forget about me lol.

I totally agree!

And I'm sorry for not being able to provide proper full length replies to almost anyone. The hassle is going to continue until the end of this week, when we should have a basic web site with decent communications tools available for the initiative. =)

Thank you everyone for your comments, critique and support! Although many details are still unknown, something very good is about to be born from all this...

I agree it is a good sign for sure. Yes, that is Nick Iverson.

It's really good to see smokemon from PotCoin leave message on here. I believe he's Nick Iverson as seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZQmUDf1tSU

That is indeed one of the options on the table. =)

Note that this only applies to the coins that are going to be burned though; not those participating in the Alliance as sovereign projects.

Maybe you could make a new coin, with a swap system for the other ones  So you only have to take care of one coin in the end

I too am leaning towards the burning option, with the exception of Sativa - and with the option that if the communities of other abandoned weed coins clearly express their wish for the coin to survive and if a trustworthy developer can be found, then they are of course free to live on.

CannabisDarkcoin has suffered severe damage due to the block chain forking and would need at least a hard fork if not a full restart. I still haven't made any final decisions though and will have to consult with the community first.

Ganjacoin does not seem to have active supporters - when I made the announcement of the takeover in the thread, the only few comments I had were in the lines of "it's a crap coin - let it die". With Ganja the status seems to be "ready to burn".

EDIT: Situation update regarding Ganja: Burning plans canceled for now. There is a community and I will have a meeting with them regarding the future of the coin. As I explain in the Ganja thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9723635) I do not consider it a problem that there are several weed coins out there. The scene is big enough to have room for many different styles and coins to bloom.

The Sativa community seems to be well alive and they have expressed their will to support the coin in the future as well. Sativa has no technical troubles and I have personally agreed to make sure a capable developer will be searched and assigned for it.

Are there any other dumped weed coins I should know about?

P.S. If it comes to the burning option, those who have invested in the to-be-burned coins will of course be granted some means to switch over to other weed coins. No reason for panic.

I am in favor of this. I think burning all the weed related coins that have no active development to one coin is a good idea.
Also cooperation with other coins is important. United we stand, divided we fall. 

Hi!


Excellent!


Thank you - and I agree! =D


I'd definitely love to see you aboard! Will PM you in a moment!


That would be absolutely perfect! I appreciate your attempt to avoid any failures - we have the same goal here.

Yours,

Hi, I was told to check out this thread...

Very interesting project.


If you think Grow and the GrowShop could be of some use in the project. Just send me a pm

I can accept more marijuana related coins in our growshop. However, I dont want my own project to fail. So I have to think about this first

Hi there, SMoKeMon!

Great to have you around! =)

All very good and valid questions, although I do have slightly different perspectives regarding some of the key points.

I'm in a super hectic situation right now but will respond ASAP.

Thanks for the contribution - let's keep the discussion going!

Yours,

SMoKeMon here

I think deemington has a very important point, its about focusing everyone's energy in one direction. How that is going to happen will take some brainstorming and discussion.

I don't see how trying to stabilize all the coins will help, its simply keeping everything spread thin.

Every coin has its own individual ideas, but in the end they will all be used for the same thing. Buying Cannabis and products related to it.
Why wouldn't you take the best of each coins idea and combine them together. But then the question do you make a new coin or use an existing one and which one would it be.

Adoption is the name of the game and getting as many people using it in the real world will bring stability and an increase in price, if not its just people playing the market to make money.

The main issues PotCoin has faced

1. Getting coins into the hands of regular people easily without having to use an exchange, selling them directly to them.  Requires being registered as a money transmitter with fincen and fintrack = lots of money and legal issues.  our solution was creating localpot to decentralize it, then we built directly into the wallet to make it easier for everyone.

2. Converting the coins back into cash for merchants instantly or with 24-48hrs. Same issues being considered a money transmitter and having to be registered and bonded which costs lots of money and legal issues.   Solution was to make a transparent way of converting PotCoin to Bitcoin then to cash to be deposited into a bank account seamlessly... you would need to use a 3rd party exchange and the merchant would need have and account and be registered which requires them to show id etc so this is another issue.

Before any coin can be used easily these problems need to be solved. I believe we can do it, it's just going to take time and money and effort from a bunch of smart driven people working together.

Making a clear plan so that everyone is on the same page is the first step in any kind of alliance before anyone can agree to join something.




 

Upvoted.

Good idea. Upvoted on this end. Lets see what they have to say ! 

I posted this on PotCoins reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/potcoin/comments/2nzj8h/420_joint_alliance_any_initial_thoughts/

If anyone wants to go upvote it then we can see if a PotCoin devs message on this thread. It would be nice to know they know about this idea.

That is an option I've also been pondering upon.

As you may have noticed, Altcoin.Center has taken over the development of three cannabis related coins dumped by their original developers:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cnd-cannabisdarkcoin-takeover-by-altcoincenter-new-official-thread-874053
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-stv-sativacoin-takeover-by-altcoincenter-new-official-thread-874071
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ganja-ganjacoin-takeover-by-altcoincenter-new-official-thread-874058

All these coins have an existing user base and people have invested heavily into them. Whatever the solution is going to be it must be such that the investors do not loose their funds.

I also want to make sure not to annihilate any such coins that have a strong community that wants that coin to survive. For example, the Sativa community has clearly expressed that it's Sativa they love, and I do not want to be forcing them to give up on it.

Personally, I do not consider the amount of different coins being a problem in itself, as long as all the coins have someone to maintain them. Altcoin.Center has taken the responsibility to making sure that the coins we've taken over will be maintained, and developers with the will and the capability to manage the necessary updates will be assigned to each coin.

The burning could still become useful if there are coins that do not have a strong user base / community.

This is all very interesting. I must hurry to get the teamwork system set up so we can start inviting everyone from developers to users to merchants there to discuss the plans.
