I'm kinda confused by the FedoraCoin developments recently. When Fedoracoin first came out it was marketed as a "joke" / "tipping" coin similar to dogecoin. I even mined some.
But now with the recent development updates it seems you're taking what used to be a joke coin and trying to make it a more serious coin with new features, but you're still stuck with the old fedoracoin image.
Why not create a new coin with these features? I just can't imagine owning "fedoracoin", the image of the fedora makes me still think it's a joke coin.
The difference between Fedora and DOGE is that DOGE has an already popular meme backing it up, meanwhile Fedora only had a meme that was mostly known by the most scummiest places of the internet (4chan, /r/atheist, etc..)
This was by design, I didn't mean for Fedora to get value. Initially I only wanted it to be used as a coin you can throw around, not something that would become valuable.
Since then though the value of it skyrocketed (from what it was before at least) and I've since realized that the only way to take it even further is to change the direction of it. There's a lot of people who've invested in Fedora now and I don't want them to lose out because they took a gamble with us.
Fedora doesn't have to be a joke, the only places that think of it as a joke are 4chan and some reddit subreddits. To normal people a fedora tip is a gesture, a sign of approval. It's only the -- for lack of a better term -- "edgy" sites that twist it around to make it seem bad.
If DogeCoin holders can revive the Doge meme (lets face it, before DogeCoin came around it was hardly being posted anymore) then I think FedoraCoin holders can turn fedora tips back into their original meaning too.
We've also got a great new guy helping us out now who has a lot of experience with brand management and marketing, he's worked with many big companies in the past and we're pretty lucky to have him aboard. You should be seeing some of his work soon
Will there be a reduction of total coins (similar to kittehcoin) ?
In my opinion,
With multi pool protection and scarcity of coins #TIPS and #MEOW have the opportunity to make it into the top 10 market cap.
That's not a bad idea actually, seeing as we're changing direction from being a joke-coin into being a valuable commodity it'd only be suiting to change from our joke coin-limit/block rewards too. I'll have to discuss this in the IRC. (Once the freenode netsplit is over with any way
)
