First, I've been asking Mindfox to lead us through the different options for a couple weeks now, both in here and IRC.  I hate to be "that guy" but it is time for some constructive criticism in an area where the community is demanding some attention.  These ideas get bantered about, but until Mindfox gives us some direction (specifics on which idea is most likely to succeed....cost and time estimates) we will continue to flounder.  

Second, I have some experience with fund raising.  And the "just give to a big/non-specific pot of funds" does not work.  We need to pick a project...have concrete feature/time/cost expectations clearly defined...and then raise money for that project.  This community will rally behind that idea and come up with funds - I have no doubt about that.  

Hey surfguy72, have been weeks discussing the improvements we want to WC, the reduction of time confirmation with privacy have been the most demanded. I think we should now be more specific and ask Mindfox a quote and an ETA for that.
656000 WCs in the bottom of the WCF is a pittance, and we should all donate more to bring out everything we want, but it seems that people want free stuff done. Or can also be the serpent biting its tail:
Do not donate because they do not make improvements or
improvements are not made because they do not donate?
Anyway we should fix that.

Hey Tevayo,

We do have some funds saved up, and I do agree with a previous statement on fundraising for development.  The WhiteCoin fund address is WdPskLzGkjXkSns3BgkRF5fW5SveTBS7tR with about 650,000 WC raised.  I also believe we have a small balance in BTC around .05 BTC.  So at least we aren't starting from zero   I'll need to see that we are current with any bounties paid for any of the previous developments before we can say that these funds are for upcoming developments.   Apart of these funds/funds raised should be to reward those who are working on our current GUI Wallet update.

What do you guys feel is the best way to proceed?  We can just "have at it" and donate to the the known WCF addresses, or, we could create WC and BTC addresses for specific development ideas.  Of course, concurrently, we need to find out what is going to cost what.

Currently we have no one to work on new ideas or funds to finance it. If we do not get serious about these issues, immobility eventually affect the currency.

I'm thinking the same thing...let's prioritize one of the other suggestions and move on that for now.  It's good to know it can be done, but probably not as important as finding someone to work on the other ideas we have come up with.

yeah second that, definitely think we should have a fundraising address even if it has no direct mandate, as long as it's transparent (obviously)

I'm looking in the Android market and am not seeing any crypto app with any significant downloads, can someone prove me wrong?  I'm starting to wonder if funds shouldn't just be gathered to facilitate the developments previously mentioned

Centralized Android Wallet Proposal
Cost: 0.7 BTC

Hello!

I have been approached by an Android Developer (affiliated with coinlabs.org) to create AND host a WhiteCoin wallet service.  At the end of this post is examples of their works.  Having an android wallet app service would allow transfers on the go, enable users with little to no experience within crypto to utilize Whitecoin, and increase adoption of WhiteCoin's use (among other benefits,) growing our offering of products.  MintPal as of today is around 20M coins in wallet.  We may be gaining attention soon if we reach a true tipping point.

The challenge for our community would be to raise the appropriate funds outside of what we currently have in the WCF wallets.  If this idea is popular enough, the funds could be easily raised.  If it is not popular enough at this time, then no harm to anyone.  This would be the first time (to my knowledge) we would use a direct crowdfunding technique for a specific feature enhancement.  It seems we all want to speed up the blockchain and this will be a huge benefit to mobile users of the wallet.

What I request of you on this:

1.) Is this something that we want for WhiteCoin?
2.) Is this something you (yes you!) are willing to help support financially?

Please reply back to the forum, or PM me if you want (i'll keep all names private) if you support this idea, and if you CAN support this idea with your hard earned funds.

This price sets the ceiling, if this talent exists within the community, please let us know

here we go, mintpal supply dropped sub 20m

what kind then? that will set this apart from any other?

Oh yes we are 

Do as you please but clear lies are not tollerated

they aren't planning on developing it lol.

save yourself some grief and don't buy more...

Bump my own post...

I will say that surfguy72 has been getting it done...ideas like this Android wallet...while not my first choice of items to check off the list, at least it's something that we can move on.  Still no input, direction, leadership from Mindfox...I'm finding that increasingly disappointing...  And if it is for good reasons, and I have no reason to think it's not.  Than no hard feelings, let Mindfox stay as involved as he can, but can we please find a developer that will work on this coin, and work with the community to help this coin reach...if not it's full potential...than at least it's prior potential.

Because I believe in a significant increase when the coin is further developed.

I'll keep my coins on and even buy more. But it does finally happen.

I think these ideas would be universally accepted...  We just rarely hear from the dev team to give us an idea as to what is possible, time frames, and if necessary, any capital that needs to be raised to build these functions.  Until a discussion is had with Mindfox at the center, these ideas get tossed around, and nothing sticks. 

The few times I've interacted with Mindfox I get accused of being a pump and dumper because I think WC should be worth more than its current levels.  I think development of any kind is necessary to help us shake the stigma that we were left with from the prior dev team.  If Mindfox is too busy, than let's get someone to work on this coin.  I think we can raise money to pay them for their time, and have all of this done under Mindfox's direct supervision.
